Difference between XNPH22R and XNPH22Q?

so cyanogen website has the XNPH22Q zip file, however its not flashable with TWRP when I tired, but xda forum has XNPH22R which is flashable version. What's makes the difference? And how would I go about to flashing the original XNOH22Q ROM from official cyanogen website? Thanks in advance.

Where did you see the 22Q on official CM website?
It's already for a couple of weeks 25R.
https://cyngn.com/products/oneplusone/
And it's specifically says cm-11.0-XNPH25R-bacon-signed-fastboot.zip, so should be pushed with fastboot.

Oh lol nvm I'm going crazy . lol.
Would u know how to push with fastboot? The commands and process I mean

IF I'm not mistaken it should be used SIDELOAD METHOD:
adb sideload NAMEofROM.zip

You don't adb sideload a factory image file, its not a flashable zip to begin with. Doing so might brick your device

of course you do not sideload if you have factory image as xxx.img file, than you just flash.
But in case of OPO, we have xxx_fastboot.zip file (and it's not a flash-able in recovery from SD card file).
Please give your version, how to instal OPO's "factory_image.zip" into OPO

Yes, please can someone explain how to flash a factory image on the OPO.

What is eu.chainfire.supersu.MainActivity Emblem?

This process is important? I was deleting SuperSU and in says that if I delete SuperSU I will delete this file too...

If you're unrooting, you don't need to keep it.

Ok, thanks.
There is a way to see if there is any modifications to the system's file?

There's an OTA checker flashable zip in general I think.

No, not in the ota, I say in general, if I want just to control of there is any modifications without flash anything

There is only one way. By flash the OTA checker zip in custom recovery. It can be found in the general forum I believe.

Ok, so I have to flash this with flashify (rooted with towelroot)
After the flash I'll have to unroot the phone and just install Lollipop with the ota?

I think the best bet for you is to read the thread about root / update in my signature. OTA is proving too troublesome. I can't hand hold you through the whole process.

I already told you.

Ok, I've read your thread about how to upgrade to Lollipop the Nexus.
The fact is that my main pc have no working USB ports, so if I want to unlock the bootloader and stuff like this I have to use my second pc, and it is very slow (the last time to just fastboot a factory image it tooks me one hour of suffering).
I think that the method 2b is the one that is closest to my situation:
1. Unlock bootloader if necessary (This wipes data)
2. Accept OTA update
3. Fastboot flash a custom recovery image (of your choice)
4. Fastboot flash a custom boot.img (@Chainfire for basic root, @sykopompos for full permissive mode)
5. Flash from recovery, SuperSU
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I don't want root, so:
2. Accept OTA update
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
If I have understood, the only thing that I have to do is use flashify to flash the OTA checker zip. file and than proceed with the OTA, right?
If there is another way to do this without use the PC, it will be great, but I don't know.
Is what I said right or I forgot something?
Thank you with your help anyway!

This is what you mean?
If yes, I can't flash with a custom recovery because I have the stock recovery (because I'm rooted with only Towelroot, so stock recovery and locked bootloader)

Then you can't use it! Wait for the OTA and install it.

I already have the OTA, but I think that there could be some issues, this is why I want to check if everything it's good, I don't want to brick/bootloop the device

You wont brick it. If you're not stock, it wont install.

of course there is a way to root 5.0.1.
use fastboot to either flash a custom recovery (TWRP is probably your best bet), or use fastboot to just boot into the custom recovery without flashing. Either way, once your in recovery, flash SuperSU (download here http://download.chainfire.eu/641/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.40.zip)
done and done.

actually, it does work. with 5.0.1, I'm rooted. Except when I flashed 5.0.1, SuperSU v2.40 hadn't yet been released, so I rooted with SuperSU v2.37, and then updated via the playstore when 2.40 came out. but it definitely works with Lollipop.
p.s. you need to have an unlocked bootloader to install a custom recovery (which is what I suggested doing). So in fact, my suggestion is completely valid and 100% relevant. In fact, I had assumed that you already had an unlocked bootloader when I posted.

Your point is again invalid and 100% incorrect- I have just tried and it has not given Me root. I have to manually re-root not flash the zip. See attachment

yes, and the way to "manually re-root" is to flash the ZIP in a custom recovery. You the app installed, but not the SU binary. So flash it in TWRP.

CF Auto Root and flashing the superSU2.40.zip in recovery both root android 5(0.1/0.2). Did it myself and confirming root access.

You can root with the same chainfires files for 5.0, and then you can update supersu and twrp

He's just a school kid, but you'd hope he would learn from his attitude, but apparently not.
What's worse, is he isn't even picking up the knowledge that people give him or reading the stickies. He's been Here pretty much a year in the n5 forum and cannot even be bothered to.understand the basics. Asks the most basic questions every time.

When twrp starts, clear caches and reboot. Should be good to go, and don't accept ota again, you must be stock to take ota.

Maybe... If you had installed Xposed or other root app, it's best to that, or restore your pre-rooted nandroid backup. Otherwise, if you didn't modify system, just fastboot flash stock recovery and take the ota.

You phone will never be detected with adb in the bootloader, that isn't what adb is intended for, but that is where you use fastboot.
Your situation is completely normal.

The TWRP img file needs to be on the computer in the fastboot directory. Start the bootloader and type 'fastboot devices' to make sure the device is recognized, then 'fastboot boot twrp.img' (remember to use the actual filename in place of twrp.img)

[Completed] Rooted but no supersu

Greetings XDA
I have a rooted samsung galaxy s6 edge(At&t) version lollipop 5.1.1 that i rooted with Odin.
I have no custom recovery installed and my problem is that supersu does not work, it says that su binary need to be updated.
After searching google i could not find a recovery.img for my specific model number SM-G925A.
I need help if there is a way i can install a custom recovery or how to update su binary so i can grant root access to apps.
By the way i am a newbie in the rooting world.. so simple answers will be appreciated!
Regards

You see a pop-up window with a warning and 2 buttons at the bottom:
1. Normal
2. Using TWRP.
Right?

I meant that you can try to place su binary in appropriate place manually and give permissions. See this tutorial for manual install section https://github.com/koush/Superuser/issues/216#issuecomment-38354585
If this not helped you need to reroot your device. Unfortunately, I do not know the other options, it is a pity that you have no custom recovery.
