Hey guys.
I was wondering, if I'm rooted but I flashed the stock recovery can I do OTA updates?
Thanks!

Not sure. But don't know why you would want to. Can break root and block all root and boot loader unlock exploits.

We wait for the devs to check the updates for safety and then flash them. Have never taken an OTA in years. I like root and unlock. Don't want to be stuck stock.

I'm pretty sure you will lose root, so is that worth it to you? Or would you rather wait till all the devs are using the g7 base? Some are already on the G7 base right now.

Is that all that will happen? Or is there a possibility of bricking?
It could brick your phone if you've unlocked your bootloader. Otherwise you will lose root.
If you want to read all the discussion on the ota update do a search for it. There was umpteen threads about the same topic.

How do I know if I've unlocked my bootloader?
Last one, you have to use the search if you got more questions. Or wait for someone else to answer.

You can root the new firmware. The root thread has been updated.
Apparently it adds the Chinese language pack.

ahh, yea, i can't take the OTA because of root and all that jazz, will anyone make this into a zip?
Can anyone answer this dumb question. I unrooted via SU app with the intention of trying to take the update, then just root again via recovery. I rebooted after the unroot script and was stuck in bootloop until i rerooted.... way?

Pretty simple actually.....
This is what I did.
1. Flash newest update via Odin, reboot
2. Re-root... That's pretty much it.

The OE1 build is available for download as full firmware in Odin TAR format. Check the link below. But know that if you flash this, you won't be able to root your device.
If you want root, and OE1 update, then use Muniz_ri's how-to thread here.
Download OE1 TAR -- direct link

waiting patiently...
so far i'm happy with the phone. i'm coming from an incredible 4g... which i loved. i miss the smaller size - but went with the s5 vs the s6 due to the battery/sd card. sorry i'm late to the game on this phone.... really i can't complain since foxfi works for tether - that was a huge deal and i'm pretty happy i don't need root for tether! that would have been a deal breaker for me. everything else i can live with if necessary.... but root would sure be nice for some functionality tweaks!

Well, you could just flash everything in it except the bootloader ... This is why I hate using odin. Heimdall is much more convenient for this sort of thing. The latest release doesn't work with the s5 though, needs additional patches (which are available). I have never built anything on windows before, only linux. I should see if I can whip something up.

You could probably also flash it in flashfire and just ignore the protected partitions.

Hi everyone,
I know I am going to sound very annoying but I have googled various threads for hours and I still have not come close to an answer, so please be easy on me. I am a total noob!
So basically, Long story short, I bought this Moto G 2015 (4th Gen - Xt1072 the 5inch screen one) earlier this year, and it has been very slow ever since! So now, I am getting notifications that I cant update to 5.1!
The issue is, my phone is rooted, and I would like it to remain rooted! So, I am assuming i will not be able to install the update file.
The real question I have is, how do I go about this? How do i update to 5.1 (22.46.12.en.GB) without losing my root? I am happy with backing it all up on Titanium, and then updating but I don't know how to do it. Do I have to download the new android on my laptop and then re-install it or something? All this technical talk is literally racking my brain!
I know the solution is probably simple so I would really appreciate if someone can give me a simple answer!
Thanks so much

U can flash cm12.1 or can update your device then just root it back.
I doubt its a fourth gen, when the latest is 3rd.
Why can't you unroot, update, then reroot?

To be honest, I don't know. It's the 5 inch one, single sim if that's any help?
And how do I unroot? and where do I find the update film.
I promise you, I don't know if its cos im dumb or what, but I have been researching this all day! I don't know what to do!
You can follow this link for a tool to restore back to stock firmware. This will wipe your phone. http://forum.xda-developers.com/mot...dows-tool-moto-g-2015-xt1072-restore-t3124915
Then update after that and root again.
I don't know much about removing root, I would look up how you did it then search for removing it. What did you use? Supersu?

Yes, it will reflash your phone to how it was when out the factory. Then update, then install supersu same as you did before.
Cm12.1 is pre rooted rom and stock rom i think u know what it is.

Is this a downgrade? Bc my screenshot is from just now and it's the unlocked us variant running the same build it shipped with but has had an update waiting to be installed for about a week. And my number Is higher than yours.
BEWARE!! Thats a new boot loader... v2! you wont be able to do a full factory restore until a v2 bootloader odin file is released.
That being said, how do you like it? any differences?

You will probably be waiting quite awhile.... As I stated in my thread, little to NO devs are working on root for the s9/+... I've seen one Korean user mention he was trying in another forum for us SD users, and ONE other guy... That's it, just 2 people and myself. Don't expect anything before Christmas.
The only member (SAMFail creaters) i know working on ROOT doesnt have the device but has a tester... Its gonna be a while...
Dude, dont post these. I roasted you enough on reddit. The basics, these are bad updates to use unless I can verify them before. Bl updates are dangerous. Also just dont use them dude, the website could be shut down any day because of people like you.

These updates from sam firm science allowed a lot of us to get onto oreo beta. If you know how to recover your phone why is this a problem. OP explained the risk with the bootloader.

Because NEVER do bl updates. Btw check my post history, I did Note8 Oreo. Also I work with the dude who makes the site. I know this stuff. That's why I am saying it's a bad idea.

Actually, cancel that, he is no longer trying root methods SAMFail has been PATCHED! So, it gonna be even longer until ROOT....
I may just go to international S9+ if there root seems like a false hope on the SD variant. The only issue would be VoLTE and WiFi calling, oh and Samsung suddenly restricting call recording apps on international variant. I tried flashing those Engboot from other thread with no luck btw.
