[Q] Some few noob questions about root+ota :D - ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there, I just got my phone and rooted it. Actually I am with 38R and I was wondering if I can update my CM via OTA as a rooted user.
Or do I need to flash something to get it updated?
And another thing, will I lose my data if I update flashing?
I rly looked at the FAQ but I didn't find something specific as that.
Thank you

You don't need to do anything special to update, just update as you normally would. You'll lose root though so you'll need to flash SuperSU after the update.
What do you mean by the second question? Please be more specific.

Ah ok so after updating via OTA i just need to flash SU from TWRP right?
The second question is about some posts that I read about some ppl downloading zip files to update to 44S in fastboot, but if I can just update using OTA its fine.
Thank you

Yep, take the OTA, then boot into TWRP and flash SuperSU. And yep, you shouldn't need to worry about using the fastboot images.

OTA Updates, Keep Root?

I just got the 4.4.4 OTA update and appear to have lost root, i'm sure i can re root again when i get home.
However i'm wondering what people recommend in keeping root when taking an OTA update.
Thanks for any advice.

SuperSU has a "survival" mode you can check off. It basically tries to keep root after an update. Luckily its easy enough to re-root the One+.

Thanks for the tip, I purchased SuperSU Pro and enabled the feature. As you say though easily enough to re root if you have access to a PC.

Its easy to re-root from your phone too, just flash SuperSU in recovery.

You don't need a pc at all, you boot back into recovery after the update and flash your SuperSU zip.

I'm guessing you used a toolkit to unlock and root, right? If you haven't done it already, download SuperSU from here:
http://download.chainfire.eu/452/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.02.zip
Then you can flash it using the install menu in TWRP recovery.

Of course it works. Also guys TWRP will try and reroot your phone a well after a flash if it detects you lost root. Not for nothing but some of you need to do more reading before you street messing with your phones and leave them toolkits alone.

@playya alright mate got my one plus one now. unlocked bootloader installed twrp and flashed super su. disabled update cm recovery on update. then did update from 22r - 25r then did 25r - 30O and obviously 30O - 33r I didn't realise that the update cm recovery would not stick after each update. so ive now tried to reflash twrp but command line says writing recovery ok and finished but checked on phone and its not there? any ideas do I need to unlock bootloader again which I doubt. but not sure if flashing update would also relock?? cheers

If you have root and a custom recovery you shouldn't be taking an OTA in the first place.

how to update directly?

How do i update the oneplus one directly from 25R to 38R or 44S? Is this possible? By recovery like TWRP? I'm currently running 25R. When i check for updates....no new updates seem to come.

If you want to use OTA updates you must take them in sequence (25R>30O>33R>38R>44S). You can take somewhat of a shortcut though. Clean flash the full 38R ROM zip from here:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=95747613655046955
Then you can just apply the 44S update.
Transmitted via Bacon
What timmaaa said works. Another option is to flash, http://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-one/development/rom-stock-rooted-4-4-4-xnph44s-t2932551
It is OTA safe as indicated in the OP post and will give you XNPH44S as well as root (SuperSU)
One question from me. If he takes the factory image from zephiK, does this mean he wipes his data also?
Or is this only when flashing via adb?

What zephik posted isn't a factory image, that's Calkulin's stock rooted 44S ROM. No, user data is not wiped when flashing that.

That is correct. The general idea is,
If you're coming from a ROM other than the ROM you're currently using: Wipe.
If you're coming from the same ROM but upgrading to a new version: No wipe, just flash the new zip. The only exception to this is if the OP says a wipe is required.
Thank you very much for your help.

You don't need root to flash a ROM, try with TWRP instead.

[Q] Need Some Help

Hi,
Need some help.
I just upgraded to CM 11.0-XNPH44S.
Now after doing that my root gone so do I need to unlock the bootloader again and reroot it or reroot alone is possible.
Unlocking the bootloader means wiping out the phone to factory settings and I'll lose many data in doing that.
Plz help me out.
PS : Can anyone provide the link for OPO Toolkit v2.0 coz mediafire.com link provided in actual post doesn't work and every post on web directs to that link only.
ThnX

First off, you don't need a toolkit, so don't bother. You don't need to unlock the bootloader again, it doesn't relock unless you lock it yourself. All you need to do is flash the sorts zip in TWRP and you'll have root again.

Sorry to disturb you again.
I visited the link you provided but I had few doubts.
Before updating to CM 11.0-XNPH44S when I boot to recovery it goes to TWRP Recovery menu now it goes to Cyanogen Recovery
menu so do I need toinstall TWRP recovery again the way you told or Cyanogen Recovery will do fine.
Can we install SuperSU using Cyanogen Recovery.
Even if I have to do the way you told will my data & apps will be there or it get formatted.

You need to go into Developer Options and uncheck the 'update CM recovery' option. Because you failed top do this before you've lost TWRP during the update. Just flash TWRP again and you can flash SuperSU again. No you can't use CM recovery for this. You won't lose any data or apps.

It should install the OTA without unlocking the bootloader, but if that's failing then unlocking the bootloader is the best option. Why don't you want to? There's no benefit to keeping it locked, and no detriment to unlocking it.

Well...I just bought it yesterday... and I don't know if this is offical device or fake device...because the backside of the device...don't have the cyaanogen mod based logo....and it has some Chinese word behind the phone cover...so I'm not sure that is this a regular one plus one device or a china fake one plus one.

so its all the same? root ,bootloader and all those hardware.
the only different thing are those word are write In Chinese?
The Chinese version is missing one LTE band, but that's the only hardware difference.
So..if I flash custom ROM or kernel...will it bootloop ? Cause of different hardware from the other one.
and can yoh tell me the use of bootloader? If unlocked in this device... and is it safe for me to flash custom stuff in this china 's OPO?

They're identical in hardware, apart from the one missing LTE band. They're completely compatible with each other, so you can flash anything as long as it's for the OnePlus One.

Yes, as long as you're currently on the build that directly precedes the one that you're going to flash. They need to be flashed in order. For example, to go from 33R to 05Q it must be done in this order
33R > 38R > 44S > 05Q
You can't do this:
33R > 05Q

Yeah that was what I meant. Unfortunately I think you're going to need to wipe though because just installing the update doesn't fix the problem (corrupt data partition). I think you'll need to fully wipe your phone and start fresh. First you should copy any important photos, music, etc from your phone to your PC. Just connect your phone to your PC while you're in TWRP and you should be able to copy your media from the phone using Windows. Once you've done that, go to my guide thread and follow the instructions in section 8 to flash the stock images.
