Unlock officially man, it's the only way to avoid this in the future.
I unlocked unofficially and I have resurrectionrom since 6 months running... I updated to latest version 20170611 by flashing CM14.1_Firmware_kate_12.04.2017.zip and after that the latest ROM zip. I have the ROM running perfectly fine... So why should I flashed stock developer ROM and unlock officially?

I need some help here, We (the wife and me) bought two s4's New a year ago and both was MDK, I Rooted and loaded a custom Rom, All was good until a few months ago when I wanted to put a Newer Rom on my phone, I started flashing this Rom and that Rom and then I had this problem! I had loaded a Rom or ????? that Locked my Bootloader and Now I'm unable to Flash Rom's
I'm really a Noob at this I only root my own phones and Need help here So I don't do it again to my wifes phone which Needs to be updated, it's on 4.2.2 MDK She has a New s5 and I'm taking her phone.
(1) Please tell me what I need to know to NOT Lock the Bootloader ???
(2) What is the Newest Debloated Stock vzw Rom Need Wifi Hotspot ??
(3) Steps for Flashing, I want to be sure I'm doing it right......
Thank You for your Help in Advance
Are you sure her s5 is mdk bootloader? The mdk bootloader was on the first released s4.
Essentially once you have a custom rom and and u locked bootloader, never take a verizon ota update. That usually patches known exploits to your phones bootloader and locks it down. What was the last rom you flashed that locked your bootloader?
Also, did you have a custom recovery installed? Can you get back to your custom recovery? If so, you're bootloader is not locked. You will have to wipe your phone clean and flash a new rom.
I will be working on her older phone, the s4 with the MDK bootloader and Now has become mine, Her new phone is the s5 and it's happily Rooted with S-S and a custom Rom.
I am having moto e 1st gen running lollipop 5.0.2 soak test. And yes its damn slow and laggy. I like to install custom roms. But the problem is that my boot loader is locked. I am just wondering ,if I follow the guide that people used to unlock boot loader when they were in kitkat ,ll help me to unlock bootloader with phone running lollipop.
I can simply get back to 4.4.4. and unlock from there but I saw many warnings regarding downgrading from lollipop to kitkat. And also the guides which helps to downgrade ,are contradiction to each other as one guide includes commands for got,motoboot and logo but the other doesn't include that saying it ll hard brick.
I am really confused abt that.
Any help abt boot loader unlocking with lollipop soak test would be welcome.
Thanks.
I am from India , and xt1022 is the only model here in India I believe.

Bootloader unlocking has nothing to do with system version(lollipop or kitkat) and it is permanent. If you unlocked the bootloader while you were in kitkat it is unlocked forever(unless you go to service centre and replace the motherboard) ,whether you update your rom to soak test or any custom lollipop rom. The guide for unlocking bootloader is same regardless of your system version. If you ever decide to downgrade to kikat ,make sure to downgrade to 4.4.4 If you downgrade to 4.4.2 you may brick your device
And follow this guide to downgrade http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-e/development/downgrade-5-0-x-to-4-4-4-stock-firmware-t3031073

First of all,thanks for replying.
And now my doubt is cleared abt bootloader.
So after bootloader unlocking, I have to root and then flash custom recovery to have custom rom with twrp recovery. ,right ?
Am I missing anything here ?
Will my phone be stuck in bootloop after unlocking boot loader,cos it happens normally in some phones, ?

1)unlock bootloader-->2)flash twrp recovery--->3)*may require* to flash SuperSu to root--->4)Flash custom rom
3rd step may not be required but do it just to be safe.

Can't be done without unlocking bootloader. You can use HTC Sync to update to latest official ROM for your device; it will flash the current ROM from your workstation. Note that doing so will wipe your device.
If you want to run anything other than stock, you need to unlock bootloader. The only way to unlock bootloader is with Sunrise, and that costs $25.
Hello!
I recently bought the 8" M5 without realising the hoops I'd have to jump through to unlock the bootloader.
After getting lucky and being able to downgrade to FW163 I have successfully unlocked the bootloader and I've been running a treble rom. Yesterday I wanted to try out an OpenKirin rom, so I flashed the stock EMUI 8 firmware in order to then flash the OpenKirin rom.
After flashing stock I realised my bootloader was relocked - not a big issue as I still had the unlock code and I was still on FW163.
My question is - if I upgrade to EMUI 9 ota will this relock my bootloader the same as manually flashing 163 did, and if so, will I still be able to unlock on higher FW versions since I already have the unlock code? As far as I'm aware the issue we were faced with was actually obtaining the unlock code after official support ended, so in theory now that I have the code I should be able to unlock on any firmware, right?
Thanks!

Theoritically said, yes, because the xloader have those kind of hexes that stay the same even after updating the firmware and the xloader and as additional info, I'm now on Omnirom for EMUI 9 vendor from Openkirin team and I can download the EMUI from eRecovery without getting my bootloader locked
I was earlier on custom rom for which i had unlocked bootloader and not relocked. Right now on latest stock update RMX1921EX_11.C.10
I want to know what would happen if I root my phone running on stock rom. I do not wish to install any custom os.
Also tell the procedure
