How to apply OTA update on Rooted At&t One X

Hi,
I have this AT&T one x, (I m using on NON AT&T network), so cant have an ota update.
Looking at few forums, downloaded the OTA version on XDA (631 Mb)
Saw people writing, that just rename the file to update.zip and then go to recovery and choose install from internal memory.
That dint work for me.
Error: not able to mount sd mem
Then few people wrote to choose install from external mem.
That dint work either.
Error: not able to mount sd mem
Then saw few people saying that I need to root my device and unlock bootloader.
I dint that, and tried from bootlaoder to install from zip.
That also dint work.
Now saw, I few wrote that i need to be S - OFF.
Which I tried doing it, but i m not able to do s-off for myself.
Pls pls pls.... can any of you EXPERTs out here help me.
Waited like for AT&T to release the update, now when it is out, i m not able to make it through.
Your step by step instruction would be highly appreciable.

Be aware, that if you have the AT&T version, and you are rooted, then you probably have SuperCID (in fact, you must have SuperCID, unless it was already changed back). If you have SuperCID you must S-off (or return to the AT&T CID) before applying the OTA, or you will brick your phone!
I am not all that familiar with the process to install using OTA.zip (and haven't done it myself), but it was discussed in these threads:

No, that is a very small question. Or at least a very easy one to answer.
Take 5 minutes to look around before asking "big" questions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671237
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2136172

If you would read my first post, I have already posted that I tried doing that was not able to do.
On the third comment that we need push in , where it given an error 92 or something like that, I dint got that.
Tried many times and then it became a "big" for me.
We all are born not experts in every field.
So before comenting pls try to know what's behind it

Lol it doesn't take an expert to read and take five mins..this is probably one if the easiest s off methods you'll see for awhile... You probably didn't set up your adb fastboot environment up right

I tried this method couple of time before : unlocking, rooting and S-off ing
In this case , do i need to relock my bootloader and stock recovery?
If yes, where can i find stock recovery, i have deleted it.

By "i deleted it" do you mean you installed a custom recovery? If so, yes you need to get stock recovery back on.
Only way I know of to reinstall stock recovery is to run the 2.20 ruu. Since you're s-off, you don't need to relock; just run it.

You probably have a custom recovery. Reboot to bootloader and select recovery and see what you get. If it's TWRP, you'll get a teamwin splash screen and then some options. Stock recovery will just show a screen with a green circle.

I do not know if one is available. I have never seen one posted. Running a ruu will put it back on.

I have already done that.
And now in case anyone needs help, i can help those people out.
Coz the method is simple, but it is not at all explained clearly in any of the threads.
It has come in bit and pieces.

I have noticed one thing.
That after installing the update and again unlockin the bootloader and rooting, I am not able to see "TAMPERED" being written in the boatloader.
Also, now when I am rooted and also have SU permission, I m not able to switch on my WiFi tether with the files mentioned in the thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1677261

The "TAMPERED" flag goes away when you're s-off and flash a new hboot.
I believe wifi tether is blocked on the new AT&T base. You can flash a custom rom on the 3.17 base and it should work.

[Q] 4.4.3 Update

Hello everybody.
First of all, I'm not sure whether this is the place to post this kind of questions. My apologies in advance. Here is my problem.
I rooted my nexus 5 nearly after a month of having bought it using the nexus root toolkit. Today I received the 4.4.3 OTA, and somewhere I read that it would fail most likely. I also read read that I should set survival mode in SuperSU (a pro option) in order to retain root access, which I couldn't. I tried to update via the OTA thinking it would fail, and it worked, only that I lost my root access.
Is there an easy way to regain root access? I don't want to wipe and re-install everything. There are only a few apps I use that need root access, however it would be nice to have them back, nevertheless.
Thanks in advance.
PS: Now I am able to record video hassle-free, no more static noise in the background :victory:

Thanks for your reply. I have already SuperSU on my phone, but when I press it it says there are some binaries missing. Busybox doesn't update the binaries since it has no root access and says the device might be improperly rooted. My recovery is TWRP, so I can actully flash root files or such.
Edit: I just tried to boot into recovery and it didn't work quite well. There is a fallen android guy with a red triangle. So I don't have recovery either it seems.

[Q] PLEASE HELP: Lost root when trying to (unsuccessfully) update my N5?

Hi, this is my first post so bear with me if I did something wrong.
I got the notification to update my Nexus 5 (OTA) to 4.4.4. I stupidly agreed to update it and whatya know? I lost root. Here's the break down of what happened:
CWM asked me if it wanted to flash the stock recovery or keep CWM (the actual message was: ROM may flash stock recovery on boot, NO or YES. Along side yes it told me that selecting yes would keep CWM). I selected yes.
Then, in the next page, CWM warned me that I *may* loose root access if I select no, but I had no idea what would happen if I selected it, so I selected yes (keep root), and my phone rebooted.
After that, my phone booted and when I checked, it was still on 4.3.
I went on the XDA thread: [INFO] Nexus 5 OTA Help-Desk. It told me in order to update (Section C), I must uninstall Xposed Framework, and then just flash the OTA.zip how you would normally.
But now it becomes tricky, as I can't uninstall Xposed because I'm not rooted.
So why don't you just do Scenario #1? Because I have CWM which won't let me apply the update from adb (or at least I don't know how to)
So why don't you use Scenario #2? Because I'm not rooted but can get into CWM.
So what am I supposed to do now? How will I get my SU back, along with root permissions? Do I have to reroot? Please help!
I understand this may be a no-brainer for people who actually know about rooting and recoveries, but my head is hurting right now trying to work this out, so a step by step would be helpful. I found that other threads would say like "oh just do this!" and what they mean is a bunch of steps to reach that point. Thanks A LOT!

Check the thread named "unlock bootloader and root" which is linked in my signature. You should get the download link and steps to be followed from there.

How about an updated root thread for 4.4.4 (Verizon) ?

I also would like to see a new something to help with rooting. I have been running root on my M8 for a while and went through the weaksauce method until that was no longer available them I switched to the Towelroot method and also used sunshine. Now after the update to 4.4.4 (which I knew I should not have done) I cannot use any method. I am hoping the update to Sunshine 3.0 comes soon and that fixes the problem. Also some better instructions to turn of the firmware updates and stop those dumb notifications would help a lot.

If you used sunshine you are s off. Boot into fastboot and flash a custom recovery and then flash a supersu.zip. If s off you are beyond needing exploits.

Thought after I donated for unlock and S-off with Sunshine, I tried to flash twrp recovery as usually do all my flashing through computer (adb)
well it was no possible, weird thought to gain root I just need to flash custom recovery and superuser. Nope It was my M7 At&t with 4.4.2 Sense5.5, (hboot 157000) was untill I installed and run TowelRoot (after Sunshine) it did the root. then i flashed inmediately twrp and sense6 OTApkg.
So i hope that jcase-beaups instruct to or write a guide how to root the M8 4.4.4 after Sunshine 3 be released . It will help alot of users that think Sunshine will root as well and awesome will be if they include the root exploit along with sunshine, I know some people do not want to root just unlock-s-off but without root privilege it make no sense a least for me. I will be waiting for Sunshine3 to unlock _S-off-root my new HTC m8, I took the ota knowing that Sunshine will not work for a while ( I wanted to take the M8-firmwares-4.4.4 from VZW) truested that sunshine will do after.
I did with my M7 as well took the ota and then used Sunshine a small support to those great developers that put all their work at our hands. Thank you.

I wish people would learn this and pay attention when it's said. Once unlocked, or in HTC's case, S-off there's no longer a need to you use a root exploit ever again.

The problem is users who are s off are trying to use hacky (towelroot etc) means of getting root back after taking an ota.
They should be using twrp or cwr flashed via flashboot. Then flash the su.zip of choosing in recovery. That's the only way you should be rooting a rom after getting s off or being s off and taking an ota.
Can't tell you how tired it gets trying to explain to an s off user who keeps trying to run an exploit to get root. First link you posted the guy used towel root after flashing twrp. Wtf. That's not how it works. That's how it breaks. /rant

experiences. In my case I did Sunshine on the wife M7, never rooted, pure stock, she took the OTA, and I want to try Sunshine.
after s-off and unlock I couldnt flash recovery and Su have no binaries , use to flash from recovery su.zip to correct this problem but this time
with out custom recovery you cant. I was s-off unlocked. then I recall towelroot, run it grant me root inmediately, flash recovery and Su binaris updated immediately.

What prevented you from flashing a custom recovery?
An unlocked s off phone will flash recoveries and firmware for that matter all day long without a complaint.
And by hacky I mean a hacky method to root. It's not clean.

You would be using fastboot to flash. If you want I can help you get a working fastboot/adb setup via team viewer at some point it works for both of us.

finanandroid, I received an error using fastboot when flashing a recovery. Turns out I was using a fastboot.exe from 2011. Once I found a newer fastboot dated 1/17/2014 the error went away. Might want to check that. dottat knows what he is talking about. There is no need to use towel root to gain root access on an S-Off Unlocked M8.
- Just flash twrp (http://teamw.in/project/twrp2/164)
- Boot into recovery
- Hit the reboot button
- Hit the system button
- twrp will prompt you to install SuperSU. Allow twrp to install SuperSU
- Once finished boot into your phone and open SuperSU to complete setup.

Thanks for your input, I don't doubt that Dottat is right about it, I didn't post a problem to seek a fix I fixed it since I posted, Just wanted to share sunshine user experience. however the problem wasn't fastboot adb.
the problem was with the HTC M7. state it in my first post.

So I have sun shine on my m8 and its rooted and working great. Verizon keeps trying to push the 4.4.4 ota update on me.. Is there an update i should grab or let it install since I have sunshine..
Thanks Kyle

Greetings,
Thread cleaned.
Not everyone in these threads are at the same level...if you can be helpful then please do so if not move along.
After all we were all noobs at one point.
Thanks,
BD619

i think this is the information i was looking for also.
is the problem only that sunshine wont unlock a 4.4.4 device?
but if, like me, you are s-off and unlocked already you can update by any method without worry and still be unlocked and s-off.
if you then re-lock your device (for whatever reason) after updating to 4.4.4, then you cannot re-use sunshine (until sunshine is updated)
please correct if i am wrong.
i am waiting to update to 4.4.4.

OTA updates question

Still running stock OS and have been waiting for Nougat update. Now that it's out, I have two questions before attempting root:
1) Are rooting method posted in the forum sticky still valid? By that I mean, has anyone actually tried it on Nougat?
2) Once rooted, will OTA updates still work?
I realize question 2 calls for speculation, but knowledgeable feedback is appreciated.
Thanks in advance!

Okay as for question 1 just ensure you follow all steps listed in autoprime topic @ here, just make sure you read the last few pages. Some people were having trouble keeping root and twrp after following the step of rebooting to recovery. Instead you need to skip that step. You should just be able to flash that zip them the SuperSU zip (make sure the output says it's actually replacing files, etc. or it didn't really work). If flashing supersu didn't work follow my steps listed at above mentioned thread. If you don't want to wipe data you don't have to, just me I always wipe. Also make sure you delete the recovery from boot.p file in system folder from twrp before rebooting.
As to question 2, it would be speculation but I highly doubt that ota would work if you root or have twrp. Mainly because you will have a modified boot.img and recovery.img therefore it should fail. Also, even if it somehow would work, I wouldn't recommend taking ota once rooted and twrp as it could cause bootloops or other issues and would probably end up in Los of root and twrp.

Okay as for question 1 just ensure you follow all steps listed in autoprime topic @ here[/URL, just make sure you read the last few pages. Some people were having trouble keeping root and twrp after following the step of rebooting to recovery. Instead you need to skip that step. You should just be able to flash that zip them the SuperSU zip (make sure the output says it's actually replacing files, etc. or it didn't really work).

Thanks, that kind of confirms what I was already thinking with OTA updates not working. I'm still hesitant to try root until I can get a confirmation of it working on Android 7. This is my daily driver and I can't risk a problem. Been there, done that. Lol

Root works without issue on 7. I'm running stock 7.0 rooted with twrp. Also running dual boot so besides stock I'm running cm14.1 and RR 7.1... If you already have root and twrp just follow directions on that post (just do not reboot to recovery like it says in the op of that post). Also if you end up messing up the steps and lose root and twrp there is a way to get it back, by using recowvery method also listed in that thread.
