So I have a rather interesting situation. I got my phone through preorder like many others did, and got a 27th stability update right away. I installed it, used the device for a while. Later in the day I went into download mode to see if my phone said anything about being bootloader- locked.

The funny thing is that now, device status shows as custom, and updates fail due to "unauthorized" changes, which were never made

So my question: can that be fixed without wiping device? What do u think triggered that? Booting into DL even if I didn't do anything else?

Thanks for your help in advance!

I have the same problem I just checked for an update. Haven't done anything beyond set up my phone and update

Did you root the device yet?

Welp. If you switch to art runtime it's "unauthorized " I just switched back to dalvik and all of a sudden I'm up to date when I check .

Genius!! So glad u thought of that, I completely forgot I did that! And no, I didn't root it yet, that's why I was all confueed, if it was rooted it would've made sense :)

Thanks
