I was having issues flashing the 38R OTA binary, but this stock ROM solution circumvented that :good:.
Used TWRP custom recovery, root maintained, no issues.
Thanks @Calkulin et al

So I flashed Calkulin's awesome stock ROM I see that here in this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053
There is version 2.13 update for superSU. If I just flash the zip from there would the rom still be OTA safe? Is this essentially what Calkulin did with version 2.02 superSU in the first place? Thanks in advance.

Is this ROM OTA Safe?? I mean can i update via OTA if i flashed this ROM????

not able to update to 38R on rooted 33R
i have rooted my Oneplus One 33R version.
can anyone help me to update to 38R without loosing my apps & data.
step by step illustration would be very helpful (with images & links if possible).

Thnx man, downloading!
Srry, wrong thread I noticed :x

I am already in CM11s 25R. Can I use the current CM11 recovery and run your zip directly from recovery?
Another question,
would my oneplus still allow me to flash from recovery to stock 25R version after installing this XNPH38R version? I am reading some bad reviews about 38R and I would like to ensure that I can go back to 25R if I won't like 38R.

Calkulins stock rooted safe?
Hi,
My operator closed my data with warnings that is been hacked and abuse by criminals... I used Calkulins R38 v1.0 to update from R33 to R38 (had franco in already then). So how to check if there is no backdoor of something in this zip... I have root rights only for FKU beta, GSam, TWRP and MyProfiles.
I already started monitorin IP traffic, have not noticed anything weird ip's that device is connecting via wifi, ofc cant use mobile data anymore cos its been shut down (for real). So its the rooted stock or some of those applications... nothing else is new from my previous phone app-vise.
Ah, been running this compo for few days without updated only from play store... latest was Francos FKU beta updater... hmmm.?
Any ideas how to check more, tried even those lame virus scanners available...
Cheers!

Can someone give instructions how to flash it? Take into account that i have problem booting into custom recovery. I opened a thread into one plus forum for this (it is called " how to root opo with 38r") but i can't put the link here because i have less than 10 posts.

how can i install if i am not root?

Switching around ROMs last few days, this one works flawlessly. Came from an other ROM which had several bugs. TWRP is the recovery I am using. No problems at all installing it. Thanks to the author of this

Can I just download this straight to my phone?

You r great man
Hi there man,
I Thought my OPO was dead because I made a complete (I mean complete) erase of all kind of data. However I installed TWRP before making that thing, but I tried a lot of ROMs (including Offical ROM) and most of them showed the message (MD5 not found). However your version was great, and worked properly.
Thanks Man. You saved me some bucks. Thanks a lot.

Waiting for Calkulin to apply his magic on the latest OTA release!

Does this wipe device data?

Does this wipe device data?

Does it come with gapps?

Hi all
I just received my OPO last friday.
As soon as i booted up, the OTA update came up, i accepted and installed the update. My phone booted to TWRP recovery (which i had just flashed minutes before) and applied the .zip, but it never rebooted.
Now my phone just have a black screen and there is no way to turn it on. I can feel the vibrate when i hold in the power button, like if it started, but the screen stays dark.
When i plug the phone into the charger, it only vibrates and nothing happens. The screen is all black.
When i plug it into my PC, it's not even recognized.
What the hell did i do wrong, and how do i fix it?!
I'm kinda desperate as i received my OPO last friday, and I really want it up and running!!
Thank you

Maybe u didn't unlock ur bootloader.

[Q] OTA Update on rooted GT-I9105P

Hi guys, a couple of months ago I've rooted my new S2+ and after Alex posted the new 4.2.2 I've flashed my device with RDS_GT-I9105P-XEO-I9105PXXAMC2 (topic here GT-I9105/I9105P Stock Prerooted Firmware Without loss of warranty(4.2.2) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2334103).
So far it is working perfect! This week I've received a notification, that there is a new update available OTA for my device, so I've decided to download and install it. I've downloaded it, the phone restarts and starts to install the "new update", but at 25% shows an error (the Android guy wearing the red triangle etc. and reboots automatically).
After the restart the OS boots normally and is working OK as previous.
My question is: Since my phone has a prerooted stock FW (4.2.2) and is rooted at the same time running CWM, why I can't install the latest updates OTA?
If CW is causing this, why am I able to get the OTA update notification?
Thanks for the replies.

I understand that the FW is modded, as the previous one (4.1.2), which I've downloaded from here and installed on my G2+. But with 4.1.2 at that time I wasn't able to check for any updates for my OS. Every time I've checked manually for updates, the OS gave me error message, that this is not possible. And now with 4.2.2 I am not only able to check if my FW is the latest, but also to download and install 1/4 of the updates. I am trying to find the algorithm here.

It is not possible to check for updates because the Firmware is modded and not original anymore that's why!!!
Hi "safariking",
In the current situation we have two identically modded FWs, but a different outcome.
It's very nice of you to take the time to answer my question so fully That's why I'd like to thank you for the effort. Herewith I am closing the topic.
Cheers.

chill down everyone safari bro,this guy trying to say he got updated with mod fw,just when reach certain percent,the downloaded file seems corrupted. Now i understand mod fw can't even received the ota file,but how this process is allowed, and what happened with the ota file he downloaded?
either way,it's pointless,1st the phone fail to update completely(stuck at 25%), 2nd i don't think this problem can be solved.
cheers everyone~ :highfive:

Hi Nick,
Thanks for your reply. You are reading my mind. The issue is really interesting & I think it is worth discussing this.
Safari is right, when he says that FW upgrade OTA for customized ROM is not possible. This is of course true and no one has ever doubted it. This is why when I had the 4.1.2 installed on my G2+ no update was even possible. Droid detects immediately, that the OS has been modified and that you are not running stock ROM.
Okay, so far so good.
Now I have pre-rooted 4.2.2 installed on my phone. When I hit the "Check for update button" it detects that my OS is genuine (although it is not), downloads the whole update package (see screenshot), restarts the phone (part of the update process) and starts installing the update. When the installation reaches 25%, an error message appears saying, that an error has occurred. The phone restarts and loads the "old" OS.
I have tested this a several times and it always hangs on 25%.
The question is NOT why I CAN'T install OTA updates on modified ROM. The question is why I CAN download and install OTA updates on modified ROM.
My suggestion is that:
ROM 1 (4.1.2) had a modified kernel. That's why the OTA updates were not possible.
ROM 2 (4.2.2) is pre-rooted. And I assume it is just stock FW (kernel not modified) with few modifications in the user permissions. This would explain the OTA update and why it reaches download mode and hangs on 25% of the installation.
I hope this brings more clarification to the situation and this would be useful to all members of the forum.
Cheers!:highfive:
I have randomly come across and read posts and topics on this in the other devices' forum.
If I remember correctly, it is the custom recovery, i.e Cwm or twrp that blocks or interrupts the OTA process. 2 reasons why: you'll lose root access if the update went through. Secondly, if a user freezes or uninstalls stock apps like S Voice, Chat On etc, there will be trouble.
There are some ways of allowing an OTA to get pass a custom recovery. I think TWRP has this feature. Again, I stand corrected here lol.
Heard of OTA Root Keeper but no idea how it works

just installed crDroid - Bacon 5.0.1
Hey guys, just installed crDroid on my OPO, love it so far! Was using LiquidSmooth before but didn't like how everything was dark!
Thanks for the ROM! However the bluetooth connection seems buggy. It keeps disconnecting and reconnecting my bluetooth headset (2 of them) consistently.
email
Great ROM!!
Flashed this rom yesterday and had no problems
I just can't get any of my email-accounts to sync (except gmail of course). Anyone else with this issue?
i recently instaled cRdroid in my chinesse OPO and i have 2 problems.
First when my phone is locked with the screen off sometimes i touch the power button and the screen doesnt turn on, double tap doesnt work either, the solution is hold the power button till the phone goes off or to plug the usb cable to my pc.
2nd problem is that sometimes ramdomly when i leave a wifi network the data traffic doenst come back and i see a exclamation mark (!) in the signal level.
btw sorry for my english.
Every time downloading a 250mb+ ROM and flashing it would be a prob due to poor internet facilities in India...
It would very helpful if OTA is added so that only changes can be flashed via recovery
It seems that no option for ejecting External SD Card or OTG USB Storage in Settings. How can I fix it?
Thanks in advance.
Hello all!
I wanted to download crDroid, and AK Kernel. I'm rooted, unlocked, custom TWRP recovery, everything you can ask for... I've already flashed a new ROM (I have Blisspop right now) and I wanted to try out crDroid w/ AK Kernel. I could do it by myself, but I don't want to mess up/go into bootloop. To be honest, I'm still a noob and have no idea what a Kernel is... so is anyone willing to help me step by step to install all of these on my OPO? Obviously I know how to install new ROMS (backup (if you want), clean wipe, cache, flash rom, gapps, all that good stuff)), but I'm worried on how to do it with a new kernel (I'm also trying to save battery and I heard this is a good combo. my battery life is TERRIBLE.)
Thanks a ton!

You just need to let the room boot fully once, then you can reboot into recovery and flash both the latest AK kernel available and the UKM script if you want to use synapse (kernel control app)
In terms of what to tweak, poking around the AK thread would probably be worthwhile, I'm sure a ton of people have posted their setups.
If you dirty flash Rom updates, the stock kernel will overwrite the custom one. I usually try the stock kernel for a bit (at least a few battery cycles) to see what it's like before flash G something though.

[Completed] Having real trouble updating to Lollipop (recovery help?)

Alright so I have a 2013 Moto G, and basically in the past while on KitKat I've rooted my phone, given it custom recovery (TWRP), and messed around with the ROM (changed it to CM, PA and a few others and back). Now I've come to update to Lollipop and of course I need stock recovery to update my phone via OTA, and when it first prompted me to update, I had TWRP and I didn't really think, I just updated, this sent my phone into a bootloop, rebooting straight into TWRP every time I turned my phone on. Luckily I had a backup and I just restored to that and that fixed it. Recently I've been trying to fix the correct stock recovery for my phone so I can update, and I found some MotoTool AIO thing, and that changed my recovery back to KitKat stock (or so it says), now when I go into recovery it LOOKS like stock, can do everything you could normally do with stock recovery, but when I came to update it, about a quarter of the way though the update process, it errors and reboots my phone. Luckily this time my phone recognizes it has errored and just cancels the update instead of sending me into a boorloop. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you,
Tom.
Hi, thank you for using XDA Assist. To update to 5.x you need to be 100% stock. That means no custom recovery, no root,etc. It would be best to ask your question here,http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/help where the experts on your device reside. And you may need this,http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2542219

Unable to restore/mount/flash in TWRP and unable to achieve dl mode in LG Flashtool

Here's to hoping someone can help me out. My phone details before I messed up: LG G3 D850, rooted, TWRP 3.0, running Fulmics 5.2 for about 1 1/2 weeks
I noticed that I was not seeing the LTE indicator on my phone. I checked the HUB and saw the BootD850-30012016 data patch and figured that I just needed to install. So I flashed it and my phone wouldn't start. I was able to boot into recovery, so I figured I would do a clean install of the ROM so I did a full wipe, accidentally wiping EVERYTHING except for my external SD.
Result was that I can access TWRP but am unable to flash any of my backups or zips from my external SD, or OTG. I can see the files, but don't have the option to "swipe". I also am unable to 'mount' or 'install'.
At this point, I noticed that AT&T has finally released the OTA for Marshmallow, so I figured I would just use LG FlashTool and totally un-root and give the update a try. (BTW, I have used the flash tool many times with no problems/issues on both my phone and my son's D855).
Unfortunately, I am getting the dreaded "unable to change to download mode" after 15 seconds. I have uninstalled and re-installed Flash Tool, the LG Drivers and all files and used every port on both of my computers (Windows 10 btw) but can't get past the download error.
So...after many hours of digging, I took a leap of faith and was able to sideload Fulmics 5.1 successfully and install the 5.2 update from the HUB. I made backup of the ROM but TWRP still won't allow me to "swipe" and install/restore. I reinstalled TWRP using Flashify and it installed version 2.8 but still no go on flashing from recovery.
I realize that I'm lucky to have been able to figure out how to get the phone back using the sideload function in TWRP, but I really do want to go back to stock and it bugs me that I am unable to use my backups.
Sorry for the novel, but I wanted to be sure to include everything I did....if anyone can help me out I would be much obliged. My 11 year old is anxiously waiting on me to figure this out before she gets this phone (I'm moving up to the HTC 10 in a couple of weeks!). She still thinks I'm 'SuperMommy' so if I can fix this I get to keep my swagger!
I was also running fulmics 5.1 and updated to 5.2 in my phone but now i was having pretty good laggs and i finally realised that the update provided by the phone was corruped so i went on the official site and downloaded the same 5.2 OTAs from there and flashed it into TWRP recovery to finally get the latest version 5.3..know that is it always advisable to flash zip file when in recovery mode using TWRP recovery...The big mistake was cleaning also the internal memory of your phone.this caused the malfunction of twrp.
The issue is that most often i have seen cases of lagg in those updating to fulmics 5.2 from the Hub .sometimes in twrp recovery the update files will not successfully wipe and then reboot system with 5.2 installed but with many lagg the file downloaded there may be corrupted and not give you permission to swipe..if you really like fulmics and still update to the latest..Try this it may help you solve your problem:1 reinstall the fulmics 5.1 go to xdadevelopers.com/fulmics follow the link given by xpirit to www.fulmics.com and download the OTA 5.2(file size maybe 46 mb).. 2.reboot your phone now in twrp recovery it should now be able swipe and install..(if not then install Twrp 3.0 and try) 3-search the files in your internal memory or wherever you have downloaded it and flash it ..4.reboot system.That should be done!! In case you want to come back to stock and cant install from Twrp then the problem is with Twrp just download the latest version that goes with your phone.
Thanks guys for the suggestions. I finally figured it out after a couple days of sweating and swearing. Yaneddik, you were spot on about updating from the Hub. I ended up installing TWRP 2.8.6 and re-installed 5.1 from the Fulmics website along with the updates. Everything has been working great (except for losing LTE connectivity, but that's for another thread!). I'm not inclined to update TWRP to 3.0 unless absolutely necessary, 2.8.6 works just fine for me.

Hey there....you can access the Hub after you flash the Fulmics ROM. It's where you can get your tweaks, downloads, mods, etc. You'll find it in your app drawer.

stable android 11 released for op7p

why is no one discussing stable android 11 for op7p ? got my update round 3 a.m. this morning. been searching all day for a working twrp since the stable android 11 been released. no luck though......
Hi,
Today I installed the update manually and my phone keeps flashing the TWRP load-screen at boot. It's stuck now. Is that because there is no compatible TWRP version yet? How do I fix this?? Any idea?
There is no working TWRP yet for Android 11. You'll need to flash the stock boot.img or rooted boot.img from one of the threads in the news, guides section.
Edit: TWRP screen flashing is because it's incompatible. I had the same issue on the open betas.
Have the exact same issue as above, Twrp screen flashing, cannot boot back to normal even with adb... anybody has a rooted boot.img link that knows works with Android 11?
Should have checked on xda first *slaps his face*
Always check xda first *slaps his face again*
EDIT: For other poor saps with this issue use this -> https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=2188818919693770594 I didnt managed to get booted with rooted img but the original boot img file worked well ... at least I got a phone now...
im on 10.3.8 and rooted..
can i just do the same old process.. twrp isnt an issue as long as may apps are safe and root..

No, its not the same process.... For me for example I couldnt get wifi to actually work on rooted image AND you lose the ability to do backups via TWRP..... Refer here for the latest on this: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...p-recovery-for-oneplus-7-pro.3931322/page-153

I mean.. same steps.. that ive used so far amd retain its root.
1. Download rom via o2 updater
2. Flash it via local update
3. Install magisk to inactive slot
4. Reboot.
So if i do this.. wifi wont work??? Is that it???
Finished updating my phone..after downloading it for about 2 hours.
And im quite satisfied with the results. No problems whatsoever..
Glad for you... You probably had already removed the encryption on your mobile... from what I'm reading that is the main incompatibility issue with TWRP...
FWIW after playing around for a day, I had to revert everything Phone wifi was weird (weirder with root and all mods disabled) and system was a little unstable in some 3p apps and there seems to be some bugs with the phone screen 60/90 refresh... Gonna wait a bit to update again.

i dont mind not having TWRP for the meantime,, i just used TWRP previously for flashing CUSTOM kernels.. hehehehe.
anyways, what problem have you encountered regarding wifi?? i dont seem to experience those,, maybe because i came from stable oos 10.3.8..
what app crashed and problems have you encountered???
