Moto G 3rd Generation OTA update pending as rooted

Moto G 3rd Generation OTA update pending as rooted
Update Pending: 23.51.65.en.03
Current Build Number: LPI23.72-47
Hardware: XT 1550
Model: Moto G 3rd Generation
Purchased on flip kart three months back and unlocked and rooted.
I have been reading numerous threads but so much scared and confused as to how to get this update which is flashing from last 6 weeks I guess.
Pls could someone explain step by step how to manually update this OTA WITHOUT wiping data pls. Also how to root again after this update.
For first time rooting I followed some YouTube video but not finding any video for above activity.
Kindly help as I have really tried my best but cannot find a way.
Guys Kindly respond Pls. Need urgent Help. Looking forward to ur help.
what exactly u want to do now?
To unroot, simply open your supersu app, go to settings, scroll down and select Full unroot.
To re-root, just re-install twrp and then re-flash supersu
edit:
Be sure to re-lock your bootloader after un-rooting
an then unlock your bootloader before reinstalling twrp.
You're going to spend a whole lot of time getting your phone back to 100% stock. It will be far quicker to just flash a factory image and be done with it.
Not sure whether your answer really answers my question
But will this not reset all data and wipe...also can we do factory reset on unlocked bootloader and rooted device?
Senior members pls guide. Kindly help.

[Guide][Tutorial] Root TWRP LG V20 using Dirtysanta[Most Variants][Noobfriendly]

Good day,
Here's the modified dirtysanta method to root LG V20 and install TWRP. This guide will help you in rooting your device with much easier situation.
Before you begin:​(Your phone's internal storage will be wiped or simply formatted or more simply erased)
(You will observe a static boot screen on each boot on some variants)
(These instructions are specifically done using root package 4.0. Some steps will be different if you use other version)
Read this carefully and completely. In this tutorial, I will show you how to root your LG V20 using DirtySanta method.This method is currently working for devices mentioned below in working device headings. So, you are warned not to try this on any other device (or not mentioned device) because this might brick your device. If you're on stock rom with Google's security patch of January 2017 or later then you need to flash a firmware with December 2016 or earlier security patch. This method flashes a debug bootloader, So, if you try to re-lock your bootloader it will brick your device.*
And most important before beginning, read 4th post carefully.
Currently, LS997 (Sprint Variant) cannot return to stock because there is no KDZ available for these devices (they mostly don't release TOT, KDZ).
For H910:
If your phone is on non-rootable firmware you can cross flash a H915 or US995 kdz with December 2016 patch by using Patched LGUP and then proceed to root.
If you are faced any problem you can ask help, I will try my best to help but can't promise and blamed if your device is bricked. Always process is root only if you have enough patience and experience to deal with brick and bring phones back to life.
Working Devices:
- Verizon (VS995)
- Sprint (LS997)
- ATT (H910)
- Korean(F800L)
- USS996 (BPT, UCL)
- Canadian (H915) --> Follow this Method (Specially for H915)
again don't try on others you may face a brick. But if you're so desperate to try it on others devices then tell me your experiences.. DO NOT TRY THIS ON ANY OTHER VARIANT, YOUR PHONE WILL BRICK (INCLUDING BUT NO LIMITED TO H918)
Required Things:​All things that you require for this process can be found in 2nd post.
Preparation:
1: Download files from download section. (Always download latest root package)
2: Install Terminal Emulator on your phone.
3: Extract root package.
4: Install “ADB” through “ADBSteup.exe” from Software Folder
Optional Either copy root zip (SuperSU or MAGISK) to external Sdcard (memory card) or wait till process to end so you can copy it after formatting internal storage from TWRP
6: LG Driver can be found in Software folder of root package (Install it, if not installed already)
Steps:
Bootloader Unlocking:​1: Navigate to extracted Root Toolkit
2: Run "JustRunMe.cmd".
3: Enter "1" to begin process and follow on-screen information. All steps will start automatically one-by-one.
4: When prompted open terminal emulator and perform following commands. (Commands are also described in respective scripts).
Code:
id
check it output if it says ”Context = untrusted_app”. If it say so then you're fine to go to next step or you will have to began from step 1.

5: Now bring Logcat window to front and wait till it says you to start step 2.
Press any key on main "JustRunme.cmd" and it will start 2nd step automatically.
it will boot your device into bootloader after success.
When done, step2 window will close automatically. Press any key on main window to begin 3rd step.
It will flash TWRP on your device. Your phone will reboot and boot into system after some time. If it takes more than 15 minutes or your kept seeing static window then reboot back into fastboot mode.
To boot into fastboot (or bootloader) mode simply turn off phone by taking battery out then press volume down and plug-in USB cable while holding the button.
Flash Boot2 image by entering “2” then “1” from JustRunMe window. (Different for root package 6.0)
It will reboot and phone should boot now.
(If you're faced with any secure boot password then you will have to format data within TWRP. Just power-off your device and boot into TWRP)
Rooting, Removal of Encryption, Installation of SuperSU or Magisk:
​8: Now boot into recovery mode either by entering “5” then “1” or by key method,
Cancel password prompt.
To Remove Encryption Error (It'll wipe all your internal data)

Click → Wipe → Format Data → type “yes” → enter.
Now you will have access to internal storage from TWRP. Connect your phone to PC with USB cable while in TWRP.
10: Now copy your Supersu or Magisk to phone (Whatever you prefer).
11: Flash this zip by
Press → Install → (Select copied zip) → swipe to flash and wait till it is finished.
12: If you're faced with any secure boot password then you will have to format data again by

FAQ​
Will this work on the lg v20 H918 10q and up?
Well, Short answer = No.
Long Answer = This guide is just beginner friendly. Which means that It is just more easier version of dirtysanta with FAQ, Video Tutorial (probably) and less anxiety. The reason behind creating this is simply to help new V20 user root and install TWRP more easily. This is no upgrade to method. It is just a modification. It will do only what @me2151's method can do.
Is there any way to revert my phone to a the version before att security patch. I am not super tech savvy so I wouldn't know where to start. I am very frustrated
I did it by flashing a H915 kdz on H910 which had December 16 security patch. After that phone had TWRP by this method. You can try flashing either an H915 or US996 firmware with December 2016 or earlier security patch. US996 10f kdz link is given in 2nd post which is rootable. You can try with that if you have H910 phone.
Here's the link for that tutorial to cross-flash a kdz rom on H910 using patched LGUP. (You can give a try to other variants but H918 which is highly brickable)
Here or Here
How do I find out if my firmware is rootable?
If security patch of your phone says it's December 2016 or earlier then it is rootable using dirtysanta method.
Does that mean I can flash h915 or US996 firmware on h910 even without rooting the device?
I have H910. I can confirm directly flashing H915 and US996 kdz directly using patched LGUP (in 2nd post attachments).
If yes, are there any software requirements/restrictions (be it the AT&T firmware version required, or the h915/US996 kdz I can install - eg. only install version XYZ of h915/US996 firmware if at&t firmware is before/after a certain version)?
Currently there are no software restriction. By flashing firmware from US996 or h915 firmware you can get rid of ATT bloatware and WiFi Hotspot will work without any further enhancements. If you want to root your non-rootable firmware (H910 with firmware along January 2017 or later security patch) then try flashing an US996 firmware with December 2016 (or earlier) security patch to root.
I had the latest US996 firmware (10p) installed, and it worked but I had signals problems (once 4G enabled, connection dropped randomly).
I then tried to flash h915 10e firmware, and I'm now stuck in a bootloop. I tried re-flashing the US996 firmware that worked before, but it no longer works. The phone is still detected as US996 in LGUP (even if I flash h915 firmware).
Try doing a factory reset using button method (The same used to enter TWRP).
This procedure just completely bricked my H918. Everything went perfect until step 2 finished - and then instead of rebooting to bootloader, it simply died/crashed. Now it won't respond in any way whatsoever. I have no download mode, no fastboot - the thing won't even charge. Was on 10d. So that's cool
That's really sad situation.
(No where in the OP does it say that this works on the H918 therefore you bricked your phone.)
Disclaimer
As always, this method is simplified to work more easily. It does have risks same as other rooting method (even more). There might be many problems, if you don't read thread carefully. I will try my best to assist you for any issue but still there are things about which I can't help. There can be situations which needs to be handled with patience. So, I'm not responsible for bricked, faulty or non-operational devices. SDcard not working is not my concern. Any other problem/situations that you faced after following this guide or before following it is not my problem. If you have enough patience, reading ability and the talent of asking questions with more details, and love, then you're always welcome to try, ask and share your experience. Always read FAQ first because most of your questions might be answered there. Searching thread for your issues is best as someone already may have faced and fixed that problem before you. Again Me and @me2151 or any other person isn't responsible for bad outcomes, even your friend who is doing you a favor by rooting your device for you (for free) as you are afraid or not experienced.
Anyways, have happy rooting.

ahh okay
phone gives that red hazard symbol (debug bootloader thing) and then boots into twrp every time i restart the phone. What should I do now? I want to install alpha rom. I apologize I guess I'm even worse than noob x(
Hi i would just like to verify my understanding of your first post .
my phone is h915 with firmware 10a (h91510a) has security patch feburary 1 2017
This Dirtysanta method will not work anymore because it is after january 2017 is that correct .
Thank you
I have an lg-ls997 and i can't get the applypatch command to work when i enter it all i get is what i think is a usage error reply any idea what i am doing wrong? Also forgive my noobness also what is the [/strike] thing? any help would be awesome as i have been banging my head against the wall trying to root this phone for months. couldn't do it the factory way because no matter what i do i can't get it into fastboot to get the device id it always just boots back to system no matter what adb reboot command i use. so this is kind of my last hope.

Have you typed commands in terminal emulator correctly.
Is USB debugging on and computer set as always allowed.
Is context being shown as untrusted_app when you typed id in terminal emulator.
Check your anti-virus is disabled.
Make sure ditrycow and dirtysanta exist in extracted folder
H990ds
will this work on H990ds model? I saw the other posts that dirtysanta root works on this model too. I tried and the root processes were successful but the screen was showing white patches(like a hardware failure!!) I reverted back.
Your warning about the H910 and LS997 not being able to return to stock is no longer correct. While it is correct that they don't have KDZs, there are TWRP flashable zips that will return them to stock.

Oops. I saw some flash-able zip but I thought even if your flash stock rom through TWRP, you can't get full stock. With full stock, I meant stock (locked) bootloader and stock recovery with no modification. If full stock is possible then please let me know, I would love to learn how to return back to full stock on H910 (and might write a guide for others)
can i root h91010m with this method ?
Is this working on v20 h910pr claro ??
Can you root F800L if you on April 2017 security patch and F800L10y? Also, If not can I downgrade?
Just bought this phone with a security patch of October 2017 (Verizon variant). So outside of Dirty Santa there is no way to root or unlock Bootloader??
Downgrade with LGUP
Download .kdz firmware file of any <=December 2016 security update & downgrade to it using LGUP.

[RMX3085] How to unlock bootloader, root and enable call recording?

Hi,
I have vanilla version of Realme 8 phone running on Android 11. I turned it on to figure out the build number and it is A22, i did not connect or update it anyhow. Shall I do it before rooting? Now I want to root it and enable call recording. I have found the two conflicting guides https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/flashing-twrp-and-rooting-realme-8.4366399/ and https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...otloader-flash-twrp-and-root-rmx3085.4386473/ and I don't know which is correct one to follow. Shall I install versions of Magick and SP flash referred by these posts or the newest up to date versions? By the second guide I also wonder why to install TWRP if the Magisk is not installed through it and it shall itself be installed via Flashify app so I would have another app to flash files into phone. By the second guide shall I follow the first part when I did not upgraded anything but my version is A22?
Btw. the guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/realme-8-rmx3085-twrp.4365305/ recommends to use fastboot to flash TWRP which is in contradiction with other two posts which claim that fastboot is not working. I also would welcome guide for Linux if there is that option.
Thank you!
I am planning to visit my mother. I can take bicycle, tram or walk naked through the woods. each is in contradiction, which is the correct way?
I will better ask my mother
