Rollback to 6.0.0 still neccessary? And some Q - HTC One A9

Hi,
I unlocked My bootloader successfully and installed twrp. Everythings fine so far.
Now I saw a thread mentioning a rollback to stock 6.0.0 is neccessary before installing cm13 because of the baseband. Do I still have to do that?
I also read about supersu. Do I have to install it before cm? In a rooted device? I thought supersu is for rooting the device?
And finally I thought cm13 is stable for My A9 but there are only nightly builds. Recommended for daily use?
Sry for all those noob questions, but I already read around for hours, without coming to a solution. Although flashing cm to My S5 Mini was alot easier.
I appreciate any help with that stuff.

?
Btw. I saw the supersu Thread and I found instructions on how to root the device.
The Instruction says I have to install supersu to root the device. In the supersu thread they say my device has to be rooted to install supersu.
Confusion is complete

On all devices I've had, never had to root (SuperSU) to install CyanogenMod. Just unlock bootloader and install twrp.
The SuperSU thread is wrong, I read the same thing when I had a nexus 5. I think it means just bootloader needs to be unlocked.
Only time I used SuperSU was if I was on stock rom. CM13 has root built in. Enable it in developer options.
As far as having to downgrade to 6.0, no idea if it's still needed. It's one of the reasons I'm still on stock. I don't like methods needed to downgrade.

thx
Thanks for your reply.
I installed CM13 nightly successfully on my A9.
No Rollback neccessary.

Really? Your phone had latest stock update and you installed cm13, and have no issues with it? No boot loops?

I've been using cm for some days. Some apps a crashing once a while, voice recording in whatsapp doesnt work without crashing the APP. AS far as I use My phone it is fine.
I booted the phone two times since I installed cm and no bootloops.
Bought it in germany.
Edit: Don't know it was the latest stock. I left the Version that was already installed on the phone. AS far as I remember it was 6.0.1

[Q] About root and CM12.1

Hey, I' ve got my Oneplus One now with CM12 (20150415 nightly), and rooted months ago with zedomax tutorial (can't post link).
With the tutorial, I unlocked the bootloader, flashed SuperSu binaries, installed TWRP recovery and then flashed CM11.
I've some issues with the root. When I try apps requiring root permissions it says they're not enabled. I've also messed flashing CM12.1 yesterday, because I forgot the 5.1 gapps, and had to go back to CM12. Of course now there are a lot of problems with several apps and processes.
I have backups of everything and I don't mind losing data, and my question is: can I follow an xda tutorial to do all the process again? I mean, even my phone is not stock, can I reunlock the bootloader (to erase everything) and do everything well?
I have also another doubt: do I need to flash SuperSu binaries, or CM is prerooted?
Thank you and sorry for my inexperience (I try to progress )

try to flash the stock images with ADB (there are lots of tutorials on the forum here), it will wipe everything and you can have a clean start, then if you want to update to 5.0.2/5.1.1 just download the firmware update, the rom and Gapps. Most of the rooms as for now have a built in root, but maybe it disabled so you have to enabled it through developer settings.

SuperSU Update Available in Playstore

In January I installed SuperSU 2.6.2-3 in accordance with this forum. Interestingly, today I received notification from the Playstore to update SuperSU to 2.65 (dtd Feb 01, 2016). I don't know why I received this notification from the Playstore since I did not install from there and did not receive this notification much earlier. Also, I assume updating to 2.65 through the Playstore would not be a good idea.
Chainfire has recently decided that SuperSU 2.65 was Stable. Only Stable versions get pushed to the Play Store, so that's why you got an update. I believe it will be safe to install, but be sure to make a backup via TWRP first.

But my first SuperSU flash was 2.65. And like many others on this forum who did the same, this version soft bricked my phone (stuck on unlocked boot loader screen). Are you saying 2.65 is safe to install on top of 2.6.2-3 but not safe as an initial install?

I think so yes, as the new version was designed as a version to be compatible with every version of Android an to be installed over older versions. Do make a backup though, and if you are afraid, just don't do it. It won't hurt to stay on an older version for a while. You can install the update to the app because that will not immediately install the actual SuperSU update. Do not accept the prompt when opening the app for updating the binary in that case though.

So what version of SuperSU do you have installed? How did you install that version? On top of a previous version or a fresh TWRP flash?

I am using a Custom ROM with SuperSU built-in. I have however also used the Stock ROM with SuperSU v2.65, installed using TWRP.
Got the same notification, updated fine, updated also su binaries (asked by the app) and - everything works fine. Stock 6.0.
Well I was reluctant to try based on my first experience flashing 2.65. But I accepted the update via Playstore, SuperSU updated the binaries, rebooted, and all is still good.
I would assume all those rooting the G3 MM for the first time should use 2.62-3 then upgrade to 2.65.

This is how I did mine when following the thread :
[GUIDE] [OSPREY] [MM] Install TWRP, Root and Xposed successfully on 6.0
Installed 2.62-3, then just received the 2.65 from the app store. No problems here either. Not sure about the TWRP update from 2.8.7 r7 to the 3.x.x versions though, but I am getting the impression that due to extensive changes it is not a good idea.

I have had no issues backing up with twrp-osprey-3.0.0-r2.img. I have not tried restoring yet.
I see there was an update yesterday again from the play store (version 2.79). Has anyone tried it? I am on stock, root, with TWRP (3.0.2-r1). I see I am falling behind on TWRP as well, seeing it is at 3.0.2-r5.

I have received several updates since 2.62-3. All have installed from playstore just fine including 2.79. As an initial installation, I think 2.62-3 was the only one that installed as systemless without forcing a systemless installation. Once you have a successful installation, all updates should be as well.

I followed these directions eleven months ago for the initial unlock bootloader, TWRP recovery and root, using the versions of SuperSU and TWRP listed, however I did not install Xposed.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/201...twrp-root-xposed-t3294588:confused::confused:
I have since updated to:
SuperSU 2.79
TWRP 3.0.2-r1
Caveat: My phone is a XT1540.

Updating from 4.4.4 to 6.0.1

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!

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.)

Rooting LG G3 (D850) AT&T tried all methods in the forums

Root checker just says "root is not properly installed", would like to know if upgrading and the rooting from there would be the best choice. Using 6.0.0.1 Marshmellow

The more updated the less likely your going to be able to root.. last time I heard of rooting the G3 you needed to downgrade to Kitkat

Why KitKat? I hear there are some Nougat things but i've only seen this when google search for "root" methods specifically.

You have to downgrade. There are tutorials out there. I had to go back to 5.0 so I could root it, then install twrp with twrp manager, then install 7.0. There are no shortcuts. Use LG Tool to flash stock firmware. Here is one of the tutorials: https://forum.xda-developers.com/att-lg-g3/general/downgrade-lg-g3-d850-to-kit-kat-t3437524

Solved my issue of rooting by downgrading to 4.2 in LG Flash Tool without any problems, I guess my only question now is how do I get to 7.1 Nougat without any issues?

I went to RR 7.0. Some you have to bump. But, if you must have twrp, then download the rom, and gapps on your sd card. Go to twrp. Wipe, then install. I have did it and all runs good. Installing twrp is easy. Go to playstore. Get twrp manager and install twrp. Reboot to recovery. Boom.

You don't, kingroot is used on android 4 also known as kitkat, downgrade to that then use it.

Will installing the OTA update lose root?

A few months ago I followed one of tutorials and unlock the bootloader, installed twrp, magisk, and gain root. I am normally a flashaholic but lately I been busy and working and have stay on the stock rom and haven't touch it. So I don't know much about how things work. I noticed I have a notification for the new update. What steps do I need to take to download the new update from oneplus and stay rooted? Or can I just download the updated as is?
Edit: Also, if I wanted to install an Android 11 rom, are they stable enough for daily use? If so, any recommendations?
Thanks in advance.

There is specific guides. Regarding this. You use a app to download the update. Apply it don't reboot. Then in magisk flash a twrp retention zip. And magisk install on inactive slot. Then reboot. Is the jist of it
