Woke up to an alert saying there is an update for the MM XT1752 I have.
Managed to extract the firmware since I am S-OFF, rooted and using TWRP 3.0.2-0.
Have not been brave/stupid enough to try to just flash this file yet as I can see it's an updater script one and am not up to speed on how to handle this kind of ZIP file.
I am hoping someone else can figure out if there is a way to use this as is, with out having to flash stock recovery, update, then flash TWRP back.
Phone currently stuck looping between the updater triggering and rebooting the phone into recovery mode until I can nerf that.
Wasnt aware TWRP was trying to flash that update zip (since when was that ever a good idea)?
flash fails with error code 7 and text to the effect that my device isnt a motorola/clark_retasia/clark:6.0/MPHS24.49-20-3/3:user/release-keys or a motorola/clark_retasia/clark:6.0/MPHS24.49-20-4/4:user/release-keys and is instead reporting a ro.build.fingerprint of motorola/clark_retus/clark:5.1.1/LPH23.116-18/18:user/release-keys.
Which makes sense since I was hunting around for a MM ROM a while back and appear to have flashed a US release onto my device (my carrier is VFAU in Australia).
For everyone's info, this is still 6.0 with the May 2016 update, according to http://vodafone.intelliresponse.com...stion=Motorola+Moto+X+Style+-+Software+update
psyvenrix, I had the same error as you even after flashing stock recovery. It might have to do with the custom kernel I installed. I had to flash stock system, boot and recovery before it worked.

Do you have the stock recovery image (MM on vfau)? Are you able to provide a link please? Thanks.

Yes still Android 6.0 . Just had the security update to my stock EU X Style. Wonder why we're not getting 6.01?

Just got this security update in the UK
Sent from my XT1572 using XDA-Developers mobile app
My Moto notified me of the update (24.221.4) last night. Is it safe to update (I'm rooted, xposed, adaway, layers .....)? If it is, does it mean getting TWRP, root etc all back or what exactly?
[Odd thing, I'm currently on 24.201.3.clark_reteu.reteu.en.EU.retfr and the update screen is in French, but the phone is in English. I flashed this firmware when I needed to start the phone fresh and this was the only firmware that worked.
Doesn't really matter, I'm in South Africa, and there is no firmware specific for South Africa anyway - probably best if I had the UK firmware in fact.]
Keep looking you'll find it.

Who knows how Motorola work these things. Got to say I have no real complaints with my Moto X Style. Stock and still locked and running very well. Yes it has the 'paste' lag but I can live with that for now. No phone has given me the upgrade itch [emoji83] but like everyone here, like to have the latest software version! Wonder when we'll get Android N [emoji8]

Can I just update while rooted etc?
Or must I go back to stock first and then update and then redo everything?
Is there an easy way to get back to where I was perhaps, like backing up and restoring data or something?
Sorry guys, but I'm not sure what to do, and others have already updated, but I'm not sure what route they followed.
EDIT: went back to unmodified stock and updated..
TWRP 3.0.0 and rooted. Clicked "Yes, I'm in" and now it's automatically rebooting into TWRP trying to flash that stuff. After booting into system, it starts the update process again and soon ends up in TWRP. Luckily I made a backup beforehand . Be careful, don't click "Yes, I'm in" yet. Do a backup!
Is there anyway to flash the Aus modems for the MXP? I'm running CM13 and I am unable to get mobile data, just get 4G! symbol.

I had the same result. But I went back to stock and updated.
So now a new question pops up:
How do systemless installs help if the recovery is TWRP and the update won't go through on TWRP? My supersu was done systemless (didn't work unless I forced systemless).
But this time around I'm looking at doing the xposed systemless (by romracer) as well. For now, I'm just rooted, but should I do everything systemless and an update comes along, how would one go about it? Possibly "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img" and then do the update without TWRP - if that removes TWRP?
In bootloader it still says "Device status: official"..
I chose systemless because it is claimed to be the "neater" solution. I don't really care about OTA anymore - paid attention last time, but after flashing back and forth I don't mind doing it again when another update comes out.
But back to your initial question: reflashing the stock recovery is certainly a part of the solution. Might be possible you also have to flash stock boot.img. Don't know how systemless xposed works (probably similar), but systemless root works by modifying the boot.img. So it is not stock anymore.
Regards Grtschnk
easiest way is to reflash stock system, boot and recovery. no need to wipe data (for minor updates only), then flash update. or, wait for the full system image to be posted.
as posted systemless really doesn't matter unless you just want android pay and titanium backup.

Hiya People,
Just wanted to share my journey and my TWRP backups with you all.
I have a M8sw (dual-SIM) mec_dugl which many thanks and :highfive: and respect to DutchDanny, I converted it to a M8sw Europe/UK version running near stock Lollipop 5.0.2 Sense 6 RUU 2.33.401.6.
When I saw the Marshmallow update, I was over the moon and decided to download it straightaway but as I had TWRP as recovery, the phone was rooted and had xposed installed, I knew I didn't have much of a chance.
So guess what? The Marshmallow update downloaded OK and then tried to go into recovery but since it was TWRP, it failed. So I took the OTA zip file from the phone's downloaded folder and extracted out the recovery.img from the firmware.zip and replaced TWRP. I then uninstalled xposed and turned off SuperSU. This time round, I go a similar message as http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-e8/help/help-htc-e8sd-mm-update-install-error-t3345406
So I decided to follow a mixture of DutchDanny's [REMODEL][S-OFF NEEDED] M8SW China Remodel to M8SW EU and yourmate's guide get OTA updates.
To cut the already long story short, I went back to L5 Stock 2.33.401.3 then use OTA updates to L5 Stock 2.33.401.6 and then finally to the part 1 of the Marshmallow update L5 Stock 2.33.401.8 and at each stage, I reflash TWRP, wipe and then backup and then reflash the OTA recovery.img in readiness for the next OTA
So I have the last Lollipop 5.0.2 Stock HTC Sense 6 Europe 2.33.401.8 factory reset TWRP backup AND Marshmallow 6.0.1 Stock HTC Sense 7 Europe 3.07.401.1 factory reset TWRP backup in all its glory with bloatware and all.
Enjoy!
I have remodeled my phone following the DutchDanny guide. I rooted the phone and installed xpose. BUT to install marshmallow I first install the lolipop RUU from hboot. then enter to system update to marshmallow without any problem. finally I flash TWRP and then flash supersu and that all for me.
bro help

good day sir, that is a Marshmallow TWRP backup right? if i restore the file with my M8sw (dual-SIM) mec_dugl, will it work and give me an MM firmware? coz mine just got recovery loop after i updated with MM and is it converted to EU version already? Thanks!
I have downloaded your "Marshmallow 6.0.1 Stock HTC Sense 7 Europe 3.07.401.1 factory reset TWRP backup" and recover it in twrp but after the recovery it just stuck in bootloop. What must I do to make it working?

I also had the same problem after upgrading to MM.... my guess is that it's the kernel module for wifi which need to be updated.... seems like HTC isn't putting much effort to implement the new update...

I actually has stock rom with no modification that will cause bootloop when upgrading.. I only had to unroot.. Flash stock boot and recovery and let OTA do the rest
I haven't tried the twrp backup on this thread.

Keep in mind that you'll need an unmodified stock ROM for OTA to be a success... Being rooted or having xposed framework causes bootloops.
As for the Chinese store.. You can easily replace it with Google apps.... Just follow the direction in this video.. You can skip it to 1:50mins....

Thank you so much for your reply. I tried to update(OTA) my kitkat[1.21.1402.11] rom to lollipop last night but when I woke up there's this error saying that I should have unmodified rom in order to download the OTA. this ROM that im using is the stock RUU from this link. I dont know why it says that it is modified. does it something to do with my location? because im in the Philippines and this is phone is from China. Hmm, really having a problem updating to MM. Sorry I'm new in HTC's because I'm a Samsung user from the past.

Fail to load wifi driver on marshmallow twrp rom
Hello
My device is a HTC e8 Chinese version that is remodeled to EU version.
After upgrading to Marshmallow with twrp, everything seemed to be OK but Wi-Fi persists to be in OFF situation and it couldn't be ON.
And then I put the phone on Airplane mode and then I start Wi-Fi again, when I did it, a notification appeared that it told me:
"Fail to load driver, reason: Module is not compatible (8)."

It seems that mostly everyone with the china unicom is facing this issue... It has something to do with the kernel or kernel module for WiFi... Unless a developer is able solve this problem... We're gonna have to wait for HTC to fix this via an OTA update.

Before install OTA update,you MUST in stock ROM without any mod like flash custom recovery or root or uninstall any apps.
No need relock bootloader.
Solution : flash newest stock MM by cmd command or RSD Lite.

For people who had tried to flash the soak test and failed have no way to upgrade to nougat at this moment.
I myself had tried to update the soak test via stock recovery and stuck into bootloop.
I unlocked my bootloader & rolled back to 6.0.1, but yesterday when I got the official ota for 7.1.1 I simply downloaded the update was halfway through the upgradation process suddenly it showed the android logo with red exclamation mark & when I tried to turn my device on it was stuck in bootloop.
I again flashed the stock 6.0.1 rom and found some strange issue i.e. when I am getting the marshmallow ota (3 otas of MM), the device is restarting to the bootloader instead of getting into the recovery and updating automatically which used to happen earlier, once I click the volume down button and enter the recovery manually the update automatically starts to get applied.
After all the 3 ota when I once again got the notification for 7.1.1 upgrade it was again struck midway with the android and red exclamation sign.
So had to again roll back to 6.0.1
Earlier I had the moto g1 and things were not this complex back then, it was so easy to flash the soak test or captured ota via stock recovery
People who are facing this issue have to flash 6.0.1 and wait for moto to release 7.1.1 fastboot rom or if someone releases a twrp flashable 7.1.1 zip :crying:

I just got the OTA update today too.
Edit. I am a thai user.
Exactly two years after me buying this phone, I am glad the promise is finally delivered on by Motorola (now Lenovo I guess). A little late, yeah sure. But none the less it is here and happy I am! If I had bought a Samsung/Asus/LG or any other top brand's phone worth 15K INR (it was a big billion deal on Flipkart) in 2015 I doubt I would be able to say the same now.
Can anyone upload the update file??
Anyone capture the ota:
When you receive an OTA notification, DON'T download it. To capture the OTA, follow the steps mentioned below:
1. Download Terminal Emulator from the Play Store (https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...ww.apk4fun.com).
2. Open Terminal Emulator and type: "logcat > /sdcard/ota.txt" (without quotes).
3. Go back to the OTA notification & click on download.
4. When the download process is starting, switch back to terminal emulator & close it.
5. Browse to your SD Card using any file manager. There you'll find a file named "OTA.txt". Open it & search for OTA download link in it.
That's it.

You should always be flashing the latest SuperSU or Magisk, older versions can cause issues.

I flashed SuperSU, I had debated factory resetting before trying it but I figured what the hell... Just ended up with a frozen boot screen, but could still interact with the UI (volume, swipe unlock, ok google, etc). Then to make things worse, I accidentally wiped system when I went back in to try again. Yeah...
I managed to build myself an odin flash file to downgrade to AQF3, but of course bootloader and fw versions stayed as BQJ2, even without root software update was still unhappy so couldn't just OTA back to 7.1.1. I went ahead and installed your Lineage 14.1 for the time being, which I'd been holding off doing until I got to test drive the official Nougat because (for some reason) I really enjoy the stock ROM.
I've spent the last 2 days scouring every shady site I could find to hunt down the stock J700PVPE2BQJ2 OTA file, either an update zip or odin flash would be fine, I think. So lame that I spent the better part of 2017 waiting for the official update instead of installing Lineage, how embarrassing.
Anyhow, if anyone would be awesome and snatch the OTA file and upload it somewhere, I'm sure there'd be many grateful people!

no it says it "also contains the 5.1.7 changes for India" since there were issues with 5.1.7 update for India, it also includes the above changes for all other phones as well, so does not seem to be region specific
True.its for all regions.

So, these guys have an actual department dedicated to fixing community reported issues?
That's incredible.
Is it possible to download it without having to install it right away? Phone is rooted and don't want to lose root in case it starts installing.

Done
To those of you that updated and are rooted, can you confirm you're not sporadically losing root like 5.1.7 was doing?

If it installs it won't be active until a reboot anyway, so as long as u don't reboot it won't change, even after install
I never lost root with 5.1.7 or any other 5.1.x rom (no twrp).

users were reporting losing root / twrp with OTA's
im on 5.1.7, if i update to 5.1.8 via system update wont it remove my twrp and root and kernel?
afaik it does...
I applied the OTA (full due to root) with the system installer and reinstalled Magisk via Magisk Manager BEFORE rebooting.
I never used TWRP on the OP 6 and rooted with Magisk, I don't need it. When I got my OP6, there was no TWRP available.
Magisk patched the boot image.
After a smooth reboot, the system was updated and Magisk kept installed.
And yes, TWRP is lost when updating that way but can be reinstalled via Fastboot if it is needed.
so what the proper procedure on installing updates without getting wiped?
so far the most logical way of doing it is downloading the OTA
installing it via twrp
then install twrp.zip in twrp after update
then magisk, then kernel and boot.
If you need TWRP, yes. If not, install via system, reapply Magisk to inactive slot before rebooting and reboot.
I am not sure whether TWRP uses the A/B structure. The system updater does so if for any reason the update dies not start, the old working system remains available and will be booted.
The anxiety whether the system will come up after an update is gone for me... I crashed my OP5 applying the Oreo update and had to setup it up from scratch... while abroad on Christmas.

Of course you lose root and TWRP as it loads a stock Boot.img which includes the OOS stock kernel and stick recovery. You will lose TWRP and Magisk, you have to reflash them.
@Eric214, you did read the original question #8 I was answering?
I answered on a sporadically loss of root, which meant for me after having root, it's suddenly gone without having installed something.
Don't jump on an answer without reading the question.

Well I must have read the question wrong as it sounded like some were losing TWRP and root sporadically after the update. I didn't not read it I just took it another way... sorry for confusion

Also, just as easy to just wait for Funk Wizard to post the official FULL zip on his thread and just Flash in TWRP. Last time I jumped the gun early I was on the beta 5.1.6 build but saw no issues whatsoever. I'll sit back this time.

If you only run Magisk and stock recovery, install the update, but before reboot , re-install Magisk to the other A/B side , then reboot. Then reboot, you'll have Magisk freshly installed.
This doesn't work for TWRP!

you do appreciate the A/B structure when a flash goes wrong.
ill wait for the official zip to be flashed via TWRP before going ahead with it

Of course I do... the Oreo update in December led to an unplanned factory reset of my OP 5 while abroad in Europe for Christmas. With A/B, this would not have happened because the present working OS (with Magisk/root) remains untouched and the update is installed in the other partition. If for any reason the updated OS is not coming up, the systems falls back and boots the previous (working) OS from where a new update or whatever measure can be initiated.
I wonder if (and if not why) TWRP does support that, installing the full update in the unsused slot (including TWRP itself and Magisk) and then boot that slot.
With these two partitions in use, you keep your phone working and avoid a soft brick. For the manufacturer it avoids trouble for the normal user in case an OTA fails...
So far, and as of today, we have very limited options for H990DS, but I think we all are hoping to get to a stage where we can get a rooted OREO situation.
Current and (hopefully) future options for H990DS are:
Rooted / TWRP
Based on Stock
Super Rom (Nougat 7.0)
Super Rom (Oreo 8.1) No such thing yet - Update: @dudeawsome is currently working on it.
Flashable ZIP, debloated and root access OREO ROM(Oreo 8.1) No such thing yet - Update: A few nice developers are working on making this happen, I am trying to help as well.
Custom
LineageOS-15.1 (Oreo 8.1)
Resurrection Remix v6.2.1 (Oreo )
Stock
Using the H990 Dirty Santa to root stock roms before 31 Dec 2016 then updating to latest Nougat rom using KDZ Writer without losing root
Using the H990 Dirty Santa to root stock roms before 31 Dec 2016 then updating to latest Oreo rom using KDZ Writer without losing root Tested and not yet possible
Using the H990 Dirty Santa to root stock Oreo rom Tested and not yet possible
Stock rooted H990DS 20a Oreo flashable by @dudeawsome YAY
NOT-Rooted
Well... Use any official kdz from here:
Single Sim H990 from: https://lg-firmwares.com/lg-h990-firmwares/firmwares/
DualSim H990DS from: https://lg-firmwares.com/lg-h990ds-firmwares/firmwares/
Why Root V20?
Remove ads
Mods
Only acceptable way to fix screen ghosting
Better backup and restore
Custom Roms
Options and more options
Why Stock based over custom roms forV20?
Less bugs
Second screen working better
Some links to consider:
TWRP 3.2.3-2 for H990 - get latest, info, updates and discuss more using this XDA link
H990DS Stock Firmware list
H990 (single sim) Stock Firmware list
Screen Burn in fix
Notes :
Downgrading to Nougat is possible for H990DS using LGUP
Just hoping one of those options for Oreo root becomes reality soon. I am personally hoping for an up to date (oreo) Super Rom or similar based on stock Roms.
This is super helpful - thank you!
Just an addition you could make - The H990 single SIM should be using firmware from here: https://lg-firmwares.com/lg-h990-firmwares/firmwares/
Perhaps seperate it in the NOT-Rooted section for H990ds and H990?
https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/how-to/guide-patch-lgup-to-unlock-features-t3652222
Another chance?
ou can select individual partitions....
If you are upgrading this way, you will lose root, but you don't have to lose TWRP.
Select all partitions, and then UNSELECT:
recovery
aboot
When you reboot, your phone will be on whatever KDZ you flashed, but you will still have the engineering bootloader, and TWRP.
IF you let the phone completely boot to the OS, it will wipe out recovery, so immediately boot to TWRP and flash Magisk again.

Oh nice, didn't know that was there. Thanks Brian, so it's basically a GUI for a tool similar to KDZ Writer ? am I write? Do you think it will be possible to use it to upgrade, and keep root and recovery both one day?

It worked for me with Nougat, with Oreo not proven.
@epicuros yeah, that I know even with KDZ Writer, but I can confirm it doesn't work with Oreo.
Update: I have flashed H990DS with the stock Oreo and downgraded it successfully to Nougat using LGUP with no issues. So downgrading won't be a problem at least for H990DS
I am currently testing a way to get root on Official Stock Oreo rom on H990DS.
I am assuming, all the partitions needs to be written are: /system, /firmware and /cust am I correct?

It worked?
You have to select in DL partition all and then unmark aboot and recovery.
Before it is restarted remove the battery and boot in recovery. From there put a kernel for the 990 and compatible with Oreo. Look in the kernel forum.
Afterwards from recovery, install Magisc.
That is the process for Nougat in Oreo I have not tried it.

I flash kdz though lgup unmark aboot,recorvery then into recorvery flash magisk.Now I stuck in setting screen
maybe my step wrong

I have managed to boot Oreo with an unlocked bootloader, but failed to access TWRP (now I just released I should have reflashed it in fastboot) I am having issues with static screen and kernel crashes.
Did you remove the battery before it restarted, immediately after installing Oreo ?. And then you started in TWRP?
Have you installed the latest version of TWRP compatible with Oreo?

Thanks guys, sorry I have been busy the past couple of days. But I have heard the news. I have updated the main post
i'm so happy we're finally getting rooted Oreo here..
Just one question, did all the mods we're used to have on Nougat is going to work on Oreo?
i mean like ( HifiDAC mod, Stereomod or Thermal mod ).. have anyone tried? I'm on outstation right now and since this is my one and only device i bring, it's kinda scared to try if i'll do mess up something.. kinda regret i lefted my LG V10 at home now..

I think no, and I have tried a few and ended up restoring backing which is a good idea (taking backups before mods) some mods are (oreo friendly) and it will usually say that in the description of the mod
guys i'm new to rooting. the last phone i rooted was my G4 dual and i've pretty much forgotten how to do it. my current phone V20DS (indonesia) version just got oreo and the battery life just went haywire after the update. can someone give me detailed step by step instruction to root this phone?
so we cannot flash oreo roms using kdz writer then use mk2000 kernel for example ? ( the op says its tested and not working for now )
GCC stock oreo rom just got online and i would like to flash this as soon as possible while keeping root
i am currently using stock oreo v20a zip flashable rom , systemlessly rooted and xposed with mk2000 kernel for h990ds oreo
