Shutting down Repeatedly When trying to Update Marshmallow

Hi All,
I have Moto X play running on android 5.1.1 lollipop. It was rooted recently and used with cyanogen Mod 12.1 for a month. during that time i did back up of entire phone. later i restored that and at present i have been using stock Rom. Recently i got official update for Android marshmallow and i downloaded the 500+Mb file and tried to install. In that process it was going to Twrp recovery mode and not installing properly. So i did reboot system. After 5 mins i turned on mobile, it got shutdown and i again restored my backup . It was working fine. cant we update to Marshmallow with the rooted device? If so how to stop the notifications of android system updates? I tried this way but still i am getting update notification
Apps--> All---> Motorola Update services--> turned off the notification
.How to disable it so that i should not receive update notification? or any other process to upgrade to marshmallow even after rooting? Please let me know

you need stock recovery to update to OTA mm, you cannot update from TWRP. download the lollipop stock-firmware extract the recovery file and flash it, then update.
i wanted to ask that after restoring from backup you got OTA update notification ? or you downloaded the MM update from other sources?? because i thought after rooting i wont get official OTA.

if you have your backup just do a full flash on stock rom and start fresh. there's an Asian 6.0 rom (I believe it is Indian) on the x play github. then proceed with root again.

Actually i am not android developer or android related person. After i heard many things about rooting the devices. I just give it a try by watching the video in you tube. So i am not aware of the core technical terms you specified.
First rooted the mobile. before installing the cyanogen Mod 12.1, i took back up in TWRP recovery mode. i used that same backup to restore after my device got shutdown. Yes even after rooting i got the Update notification

i think if you can block/disable notifications for Google Play Services, it'll remove the update notification.

Sir, Is it possible to unroot the rooted devices in any way? if so could you please let me know

if you want to unroot you can do it from superuser, its mentioned in the youtube video. just unroot from superuser settings.
then if you want to upgrade to marshmallow download Indian stock lollipop rom from https://github.com/motoxplay/stock. unzip it on your computer to the the folder where you kept TWRP while flashing it . you'll see a file named recovery.img.
from adb run the command
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
i.e flash this recovery just the way you flashed TWRP.
then you can update to marshmallow.
and did disabling google play services removed your update notification???

You just have to download the twrp flashable 6.0 zip file and restore it through twrp. No extra things.

Just follow the procedure as given in that thread and everything will be fine.
It has nothing to do with the way you rooted your phone.
If a phone has twrp installed, he has nothing to fear about upgrading to latest versions as the updates are made available on Xda in Twrp flashable zip.
So no need to format the stock firmware again and then update and then all the headache.

Sir, In your previous post you meant to say this?
1. First unroot the mobile using the super Su (settings)
2. Then flash the Stock lollipop rom mentioned in the github
3. Then update the mobile to Marshmallow
4. Then again root the device

1. correct
1.1. check oem unlock and usb debugging
1.2. Copy the original old backup which you took, to your external sdcard. [just to return to stock if anything goes wrong]
2. Just flash the recovery which is present in the lollipop rom, no need to flash the whole rom.
3. correct
4. Do NOT flash the old superuser to root. To root again follow these steps http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-play/general/root-how-to-root-6-0-easly-t3277202

Applying system update 1.27.401.5 to my rooted HTC U11

I'm using a rooted HTC U11 with the latest TWRP and Magisk. Since yesterday I get a message that tells me to upgrade my HTC U11 to version 1.27.401.5. I can't install the downloaded ota so I need a complete rom. Where can I find that?

Maybe next door

Too much info error... So it's possible to flash an OTA over my rooted stock rom using TWRP?
Since the OTA is already downloaded to /data/data/com.htc.updater/files can I just copy it to the root folder and then flash it with TWRP?

No, TWRP cannot handle an OTA completely. You have to reflash stock recovery.
And even if you reflash stock recovery the OTA could fail to apply.
Have you modified your system partition after rooting? Any mods that install to system instead of data?
If you have modified the system partition the OTA won't apply. You have to reset to stock, i.e. by using an RUU

I'm still on the stock rom with TWRP as recovery. Afaik I didn't use any mods that install to system instead of data.
I just want to install the current version 1.27.401.5. If that's not possible by OTA then a full rom would also be welcome.

HTC U11 firmware upgrade

Hello everyone,
First of all, sorry if i post it in the wrong section and if i am not always making sense.
So here is my situation :
i have a HTC U11 which i rooted a long time ago with TWRP & SU.
I then switch SU to Magisk (a year ago), because i needed to hide my root from few apps.
I wanted to update magisk Manager, but i lamely failed
(i went to recovery mode, installed the uninstaller ZIP for Magisk in order to put a version above 18 but then i had a boot.img missing error)
So i did restore an old backup that i had from 2017...
Currently i have :
Version android : 7.1.1
Firmware version : 1.27.400.8
Magisk version : 18.1
Magisk Manager Version : v7.1.1
TWRP Version : 3.3.0.0-ocn
My questions :
I want to update my firmware. I mean, my phone tells me there is an update. Is it what we call OTA ?
After i've downloaded the new firmware version (1.27.400.21), i select install now, and my phone reboots to Recovery mode, but asks me for a password (to decrypt data).
What the hell is that ?
Also, i would like to be able to still install this new version (and the futures ones).
How do i do that ?
Is it possible to upgrade the Android version too ?
I wish not to have to wipe or lose data.
What's the point to wipe data, dalvik, cache ?
When you do it do you lose your personnal data ?
Many thanks for your helps and support

Find out your cid/mid
You will need to flash the appropriate ruu (nougot) for your phone from here (sd card method)
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/15JL3tRWDSVOUKo_revEYtQ_tRcOSJ0vWcvk8a7TK8Hk/htmlview
in order to receive the ota updates. And yes you will lose everything. Backup as much as you can . And once you go to pie there is no going back unless s-off. ( There is another way but more involved) . hth

Thanks for your reply.
How do i find my cid/mid ?
I tried yesterday to use adb, but i could NOT find my device in download mode... The only way i was able to see it was to boot in recovery mode.
Can i still get my cid & mid if can find my device whilst it's in recovery mode ?
So i understood that i need to download the right file, rename it, put it on the root of the SD CARD and then boot my phone in bootlader mode.
Don't i have at some point specify the ZIP file to use ? Does it mean it will detect it automatically ?
Then why doesn't it work if i put it on the root of the internal sotrage of my phone ?
If i flash a RUU, will my phone still be rooted and unlocked ?

I believe the adb command is "getvar all" while in the download mode. get the cid/ mid number reboot then get matching nougot ruu zip. rename to 2pzcimg. zip place in the root of sd card boot to download mode not bootloader, it will detect automatically, hth

Thanks.

Will i have to reinstall Magisk & Magisk Manager ?

Oh no it won't be, you will have to reinstall twrp, Magisk,

fair enough.
but sadly, adb doesn't work on my computer. I can't see my phone.
I only get something when my phone is in recovery mode.
download more & bootloader mode, i can't find it.

Try installing htc sync manager then reboot and run adb. You just may need the right drivers

I have read more about it and you're right it should be something like that.
Also, once i have flashed the RUU, rooted again, installed TWRP & Magisk, will i still be able to update OTA ?
I don't understand when some people say they uninstalled Magisk, intall the OTA and install Magisk back on...
Is it really the way to do it ? To be able to install latest OTAs ?

You will have to install ota before rooting , once rooted or twrp installed Ota will not install. This is my understanding, if someone has a different approach please chime in. Installing just the firmware is a different animal and requires more reading!! Hth

Okay so we are on the same page.
So my question is ow do you keep installing OTAs when your phone rooted or with TWRP ??
also i remember my cid is HTC__060 which i believe is india.
Is there anyway i can change it to Europe ? I mean, is there any interest for me to do so ?

Ota will stop once twrp is installed, I really don't see a benefit changing cid, but that's up to u ?

To install an OTA with twrp you have to:
1. Download the OTA in zip format (search in this forum).
2. Copy it to mobile memory.
3. Reboot to twrp and apply manually the zip.
If you are going to change the Cid, change to Taiwan version (that region has received more updates than the rest of the world).

OTA update 3.23.709.6 fails to install

Today I got a notification to install an OTA update for pie (system enhancement), so I flashed stock recovery since I had TWRP installed (and ofc unlocked bootloader) and then downloaded the update, however when it reboots to recovery the update begins to install and stops at 25% percent with an error icon.
Any thoughts on this? I think is not that urgent since I already have Pie but it is most likely that this update is a security patch so I'm interested.

I have the same problem .
Did you solve it ?

Need stock recovery

Question software updates

Hi guys
I have a question to those who have the edge s chinese version of the phone and replaced the chinese rom for the global retail rom
do you guys get any ota software updates from motorola?
if not, does it means I have to install a new version of the retail rom manually every time it comes out?

Very unlikely that OTA updates will work, when not on the original "carrier.ro"
Somewhere on the phone it still knows its original channel.
If you want updates you will have to flash manually.

Thank you I really appreciate it

Can't test this at the moment, but what about giving the update app storage permissions and copying the update as Blur_Version.zip to the root of the phone storage. Will that work?
Or will an adb sideload update.zip work as well or we'll have to do a clean install everytime?

Yes, you can install it manually trought fastboot or internal memory using SD card (rename OTA file to update.zip).
But, if I'm not wrong, both methods will format your device during installation. So, you can only update from OTA without format if you are using same rom from your original update channel.
