You will get the update notification (when it's ready) but it will fail if you don't unroot. It should be fine to unroot via the superuser app.
It (most likely) will install stock recovery so be prepared to fastboot twrp again.
If you have to force update by holding volume keys at powering on, be prepared for Bootloader to become locked again.

Hi, there.
I came from a Samsung device, I'm used to flash the stock firmware when a official update was out then root the device again.
I have a brand new Moto G3, locked and unrooted. If I do the process of unlock the bootloader and rooted the device will I able to flash a stock firmware and receive the Android 6.0 once it is out?
Thanks in advance.
Yes, as long as you unroot before the update. I use SuperSU for my root and use the SuperSU app to fully unroot before I update.
Just reflash the stock rom and relock your bootloader. You would be able to receive all official updates from Motorola.

Is supersu works in unrooting
Just fully unroot and then flash the stock firmware, relocking doesn't matter. I'm looking at you @kaustubh_lipare.

No problems mate! I'm here to help
Hi,
my P8max is rooted with SuperSU and I had TWRP installed. Now the recent b211 OTA released, and I would like to install it. Since my phone was modified, I won't get an update over EMUI, but I downloaded is elsewhere.
I would love to keep everything setup as it is and avoid the wipe. I flashed back the P8max stock recovery to install the update as local update. Now my question is, will I experience any trouble because I have a rooted phone with SuperSU?
If so, would it be enough to just unroot the phone with the SuperSU settings button "unroot", or is a wipe unavoidable?
Best regards

You have to be on Stock recovery and no root.
if you got an error while installing OTA,
follow this guide to return to full stock unmodified rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/p8max/help/official-rom-download-links-t3206144 then install OTA update.
For those who say that must unroot to see the ota update i say that their rong...i have root and yesterday the ota notification show me that an update is waiting.I will not update because i see that its not stable yet.
Yep, got the notification too, even though I'm rooted and on a custom recovery.

You will get notified, but installing it will fail because recovery checks your system partition if its modified or not.
I am on rooted stock B331 and I just received an update to B356 (492 MB). If I acceot the OTA will the bootloader get locked? I know I will most likely loose root and twrp. I'd like to updated but not get locked again. Any advice?
Or should I flash the image file in TWRP along with insecure boot?
If anybody has gone this route please advice. Thanks
huh? thats new! here i thought that once u unlock bootloader and root u dont receive ota updates anymore! how is that possible?!
in any case, whats the big deal about bootloader getting locked? u just unlock it again using your code via fastboot, no problem then flash twrp and supersu, done!

Yeah, I know it is wierd. My bootloader is unlocked, I'm rooted and have twrp installed and received the B356 OTA this morning.
I was hopping to dirty flash so I don't have to go through all the setup process again
true, unlocking BL again would mean that your phone would be reset...

You can still do OTA'S with an unlocked bootloader. You should be able to OTA but it may remove root or fail in the process because of root. I always recommend backing up the stock rom in TWRP so you can always go back to it to take an OTA. Fastboot flash the stock rom you're on and the stock recovery then boot up and take the OTA then fastboot flash twrp again.
I have also received the notification for b357 and I am on stock rooted b356...sounds fishy, I am not updating

I'd love it if anybody could make a flashable zip rooted B356 or 357 rom to be safe.
I currently have a rooted Honor 8 FRD-L04 with TWRP installed, and I'm just wondering how I should prepare for the Nougat Update. I heard that I need to revert to Stock Recovery, and I'm wondering if Huawei's own erecovery can do that. Also, will using erecovery or the normal .img method wipe my phone data? I have unrooted using SuperSU or XDA (I don't remember which one). Is there anything else I should know about? Thanks!

What? SuperSU has a inbuilt unroot feature... Why not using it?

The only problem with unrooting with SuperSU is it will most likely Fail.
This is because SuperSU actually patches the boot.img when you flash it in TWRP and this can't be undone
to fully unroot this phone you'll need to fastboot flash boot.img and stock recovery.img
I find it easier to just use Huawei Backup and dload flash back to B162
and then restore my backup
If your already on the Nougat beta you'll need to do 2 flashes
first flash is the rollback and the second flash will return you too b162

Yes I know but he said that he successfully unrooted it with SuperSU, so no problem there...
I unrooted and went back to stock recovery simply by doing a FULL OTA update. It completely blew away TWRP and rooted ROM when I did it.
Hi All,
I would like just a little help on how to update correctly a rooted Honor 8 on MM 6.0 to Nougat 7.0 ?
Meaning from firmware B131 to B360 ?
OTA doesn't work, even when i disabled ROOT. I also tried bootloader to force update but it fails during the process.
Any idea what to do next? Do I need to relock the bootloader and remove TWRP before proceeding?
Thanks very much!
Unroot, flash stock recovery for the emui version you have
I guess this would also include a full wipe? Or is it possible to just update without wipe and still get a good result?
