I'm on Kit Kat, rooted with Towelroot, but have no unlocked my bootloader. I have Flashify and TWRP installed.
My understanding is that the OTA update will fail since I'm rooted.
So how do I update? Do I
A) Unroot (and if so, how?) and perform the OTA, then get root under Lollipop?
B) Flash a complete ROM of the latest stock version? Will I need to re-root if I do?
C) Something else?
Thanks in advance!
If this has been answered in another thread please provide the link. My searching didn't turn up anything.
What does your system say about updating Android? Anything?
Well disregard this thread. The first update was a minor one that removed root, so I went ahead and installed Lollipop (5.0.1) when it offered the next update (immediately).
Guess I'll see what I have to do to root Lollipop.
Thanks for the response though.
Hi All,
I am having trouble looking for a thread that would help me update my rooted MT7-TL10, my current version is TL10V100R001C00B120SP04. Is it easier if I just unroot it first then install
via OTA? The new pending version under EMUI updater is TL10V100R001C00B130. I dont think it has a noticeable change with my current version but I really would want a Lollipop OS
for my MT7 (better if its an official update) Hope you could help me and give me the step by step procedure for this since my phone is getting really boring without the lollipop or marshmallow update.
Thanks! :fingers-crossed:

Here is the correct link to root and Custom Recovery
http://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-7/general/huawei-ascent-mate-7-unlock-recovery-t2941525
You can also root each version KK,LP or MM.
In my case never has a Ota update works, but you can do all by Local Update.
But you must go back to Stock Recovery
Thread is not working anymore.. What version do you have now? How did you upgrade?

I have version 4.4.2. The kitkat version. Never updated it ever since i got the phone. Received a notice on a new OTA update.. But it is more on for stability. Not the lollipop update i guess.
what do you want exactly?
Just want to know if there is an official lollipop update for my phone. And on how to install it while im rooted.

I had the same version on my TL10 (120SP04) and I went directly to B331 from dload folder. No problem in it. Just one difference - my device was unrooted. I made root after that and then flashed KangVIP 3A which is really fine ROM. I think I can recommend you the same however I don't know if there is any problem in your root (but I don't think so).

Did you reach the lollipop version via OTA? So i know if its easier just to unroot and update.

Hi again, Im receiving error tying to install this in TWRP. Hope you could help. Thanks
Mine was B120 SP04 also. I did the B130 update and kept it that way quite a while, unlocked, CWM recovery and rooted. Also had an older version of Xposed working with some modules. I tried a mod that stuffed it up recently, although it still booted, so decided to go Lollipop seeing as I had to work on it anyway. First thing is to use ADB and flash back to stock recovery, then I unrooted.
Next I applied B324 via local update. It ran fine so I applied B331 via local update.
Running good. Now have TWRP recovery and root. It's a shame Xposed doesn't work on it
I‘ve also not been able to apply lollipop incremental updates. Only a full ROM. Decided not to risk MM yet.
I‘ve noticed that on LP and debloat system apps, I have more free RAM than with KK. It also runs smoother. I installed EX Kernel Manager anyway and with a few basic tweaks the phone flies!
Seriously considering rolling back to Kitkat.
B331 Lollipop runs fine as a daily driver, it's just that even with it rooted, it's so hard to install any mods to customise it how I want.
On reflection, Lollipop doesn't seem to offer me any real benefits over Kitkat
Hello: I am a newbie with a 6045I. I originally rooted my IDOL 3 under 5.0.2 using guides I found here XDA. I disabled the root in order to update to 6.0.1. Now that I have 6.0.1, how do I get root again?
Did you install the stock 6.01 update? If not, you could install TWRP and flash supersu from TWRP.
I installed the OTA version. I assume that is the stock version.

Hey everyone,
I have a Nexus 5 that I haven't updated in a long time that I'd like to get the latest possible OS for. The only modifications I've made which I think might be important are:
Unlocked bootloader
Rooted using SuperSU (v2.8.2 currently)
Installed XPosed (installer v2.6.1, not sure what version of the framework but it should be the latest supported by 4.4.4) with a few modules
Installed App Ops and removed permissions from some apps
Installed StickMount
I don't believe I have any custom recovery installed (I'd used a script to root and install XPosed originally and I don't know if it made any other changes). I'm comfortable using adb if needed but I'm cool with tools like FlashFire too.
My end goal is to have an updated OS with root and XPosed. I assume I'll need Magisk for XPosed, but not sure about root.
How should I go about doing this? I'm cool with losing all of my data (I'll be making backups with Titanium Backup) though knowing ahead of time if that'll be the case would be nice. If it's possible to update without losing data and without affecting anything that'd be nice, but maybe a clean start would be good? The OTA guide on this forum is only for 5, not 6, and most online guides start with 5. I don't want to mess up obviously. xD
Any advice/steps would be appreciated! Thanks!

You need TWRP. Then to install it. https://forum.xda-developers.com/go...om-android-m-preview-2-flashable-zip-t3157299

The link you gave doesn't have the latest 6.0.1 build and it also says that it requires a minimum bootloader (HHZ12h) that I don't have (I have HHZ11k). Would it be possible to use the latest build from Google? What do I do about the bootloader? And would using TWRP as the recovery prevent me from passing SafetyNet?
Thanks for replying!
Could I follow this guide with the latest factory image and then install Magisk, root, and XPosed? https://android.gadgethacks.com/how...actory-images-android-using-fastboot-0175277/
If you're on stock, update using the built in updates. That'll get you all the latest firmware. I'm pretty sure the N5 goes up to 5.0 normally.

Would I have to do anything to XPosed or supersu first? I'd like to update to 6.0.1, too. I've seen online that there are OTA updates for it too.
Nope. But you may have to reinstall root, which is very easy once you're updated. Just let the updates do their thing, and you'll be on your merry way! Hope I helped
I think what I'll do is flash stock 4.4.4 keeping user data and then use the OTAs to update to 6. That way I have a clean system install to use Magisk with without losing any user data. (If that doesn't work I'll just flash 6.0.1 for a clean install.)
Running 5.1.11 and stock recovery but rooted using Magisk.
When I check for new updates, it tells me since I am rooted it have to download the complete ROM (Pie).
Any reasons not to upgrade this way? After the update I will be on Pie and will have lost root but everything else will work as it should?
