I flashed the following factory firmware image on my XT1541;
Retail Europe (2GB) - XT1541_OSPREY_RETEU_2GB_5.1.1_LPI23.72-33_cid7
from here and followed the steps on this page to do so.
I updated to MM through OTA, flashed TWRP from here through fastboot, booted in to TWRP and flashed SuperSU v.2.65 from here.
I then reboot the phone and it gets stuck on the white "unlocked bootloader" screen.
I've repeated this process twice now, same thing. :/
Any ideas?
EDIT: I tryed flashing factory 5.1.1 through fastboot again, to get the phone working. But now I can't even do that.
When I enter "fastboot flash partition gpt.bin" I get the following error;
(bootloader) Preflash validation failed
FAILED (remote failure)
If you have a twrp backup from marshmallow, restore system. Then flash superSU 2.62-3 from here http://download.chainfire.eu/751/SuperSU/BETA-SuperSU-v2.62-3-20151211162651.zip.
SuperSU 2.65 don't detect properly the need to install it in systemless mode and try to install in system. V.2.62 is only systemless.
If you don't have the system backup, I don't know how to revert the modifications made by v. 2.65, but it's possible.
Good luck.

Thank you. I did not have a backup, but I was able to flash factory 5.1.1 by skipping gpt.bin.
I then updated to MM through OTA, flashed TWRP and SuperSU v2.62-3.
Is there a reason why later versions of SuperSU do not install systemless on our phone and therefor cause the bootloop?

I had a similar experience with v2.65. I know systemless root is experimental and all the current versions are beta. But I don't understand the reports from others indicating 2.65/2.65/2.67 work just fine on their G3. Is it possible that once 2.62-3 is installed, the later versions will flash properly?
Flash this supersu file , it will remove all latest binaries of supersu. And your phone will start.
https://download.chainfire.eu/204/SuperSU
Then flash supersu2.63 to root.

Where did you find OTA for XT1541_OSPREY_RETEU_2GB_5.1.1_LPI23.72-33_cid7? I've flashed this factory image but I haven't received OTA for this build and I haven't found an OTA file on Internet.
Could you share the OTA that you've used?

Are you really sure that tour source build was LPI23-72.33 ?
[Guide] XT1575 Update To NPH25.200-22 Nougat After Modifying Your System & Re-Root
THIS GUIDE IS NOW DEPRECATED. THERE IS NO NEED ANYMORE TO GO THROUGH THE UPDATING PROCESS AS THERE IS A FULL NOUGAT FACTORY IMAGE AVAILABLE (Build NPH25.200-22). FIRMWARE AVAILABLE HERE: https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-style/general/xt1575-moto-x-pure-edition-factory-t3704142 BE SURE TO THANK @acejavelin FOR TRACKING DOWN THE FIRMWARE PACKAGE FOR US.
Notes:
-YOU ATTEMPT THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK IF YOU FLASHED ANY FIRMWARE PREVIOUSLY NOT FOR THE XT1575 US VERSION
-This guide will have 2 parts. 1 for those that kept their systems read only/systemless, and 1 for those that did not.
-Whether you live booted TWRP or Installed TWRP, if you chose to allow system modifications your OTA will likely fail (you'll need part 2).
-Restoring a TWRP backup will not work and will cause an OTA to fail due to having to allow system write access in TWRP - You Need Part 2.
-This guide assumes you have basic ADB knowledge and already know what fastboot is and how it works.
-Thanks to @gokart2 for the OTA and @acejavelin for the return to stock guides
Part 1: Those That Tweaked Systemlessly Currently On 24.49-18-16 (Will only work if you kept TWRP read only/used systemless root):
1: Disable & Remove systemless Xposed within Magisk Manager and all other Magisk modules. Reboot and wait for Art cache to rebuild.
2: Remove any adblock hosts within your adblock app if installed, or any other root level system altering apps like Greenify (don't worry, you'll get them back).
3: Remove Magisk by booting into TWRP and flashing the current Magisk Removal zip. Reboot.
4: For systemless SuperSu you need to consult their thread as I do not use it. (I'll update this if someone knows the correct process).
5: ADB reboot bootloader and fastboot flash the stock recovery. Latest MM recovery links at the bottom of this post. (rename file to recovery.img).
6: Move the OTA Blur_Version.24.231.16.clark_retus.retus.en.US.zip to the root of your internal sd card (NOT in a folder). File links at the bottom of the post. Thanks @gokart2
7: ADB reboot recovery, when "no command" is listed, hold power + tap volume up then release to access recovery options. Choose "apply update from phone storage". Choose the file and wait for the flash. It's a large update so be patient (about 10-20min). Choose reboot manually in recovery after flash succeeds. Enjoy Nougat!
8: For root you can go ahead and flash TWRP again or live boot TWRP (fastboot boot twrp.img) and then flash Magisk 14.0 from TWRP. Works perfectly.
Part 2: Those That Have Done Everything - TWRP Write Access, Custom Roms, On Older Firmware, Etc (XT1572 Build Flashers Do This At Their Own Risk):
1: Flash the latest full factory image available (24.49-18-8) available here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/mo...de-return-to-stock-relock-bootloader-t3489110. Thank @acejavelin for the thread while your at it. Follow the directions in that guide, it's well detailed and accurate - however read my notes just below first:
NOTES:
-Omit the "fastboot oem lock begin" & "fastboot oem lock" commands to remain bootloader unlocked.
-Omit the "fastboot erase userdata" command if you want to dirty flash and keep all of your data. I recommend clean, you can always root & restore each apps data with Titanium after the Playstore installs everything.
-The "fastboot oem fb_mode_set" instead of "fastboot oem lock begin" & "fastboot oem fb_mode_clear" instead of "fastboot oem lock" I've found to be unnecessary if staying unlocked. Your choice.
-The "fastboot flash partition gpt.bin" & "fastboot flash bootloader bootloader.img" commands will likely fail due to version mismatches. This is ok.
-The "fastboot flash modem NON-HLOS.bin" tends to fail too. For this, just run the command again until it succeeds.
2: After flashing 24.49-18-8 take the OTA to 24.49-18-16. Reboot. OTA zip provided below if you prefer to sideload.
3: Either install the 7.0 OTA the normal way via the update center or just side load it using the directions above. I recommend side loading due to the file size being very close to 1GB.
4: For root you can go ahead and flash TWRP again or live boot TWRP (fastboot boot twrp.img) and then flash Magisk 14.0 from TWRP. Works perfectly!

Alrighty. I got back to stock 6.0 with the 18-16 update. I couldn't get the OTA via the system update, so I tried doing it via ADB. That threw up a "status 7 error". I then copied the file to my internal storage and selected update via SD Card in recovery. It hung on "Patching System Files" for a while, but in the end it moved on and worked fine. Thanks for the awesome guide!
Thread updated with downloads for the 24.49-18-8 OTA to 24.49-18-16 zip.
I exctracted the 7.0 Stock recovery to replace if you decide to flash TWRP and want to go back to the stock recovery for future updates (HAHAHA yeah right!). Download link in OP. The 7.0 Recovery is different than the MM recovery. They are not interchangeable. Don't flash the 7.0 recovery on MM.
Question... can those of us who are rooted, custom roms, with TWRP, not just flash a stock unrooted TWRP backup from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-style/development/pure-firmware-tuff-wip-t3224833
Then, flash the stock recovery like it says... and take the update? Isn't that easier than this method?

It probably won't work. Once TWRP is given write access to your system (which is required to flash a full rom or restore a backup) any OTA's will fail. Plus any modem/bluetooth mismatches will cause a failure too. Fastboot flashing a stock image is really very easy & pretty much a guarantee that everything will work properly. However, if your able to get it to work, please let us know...though I don't think it will.

Once I do this, I can just reinstall TWRP and Magisk, backup the stock 7.0 and if I ever decided, just flash a custom rom later on?
hey thanks for the help on this one. I was so worried because I got stuck on th May security update OTA-wise.
question: I messed with the LatAm version of Nougat, so when I tried to re-lock the bootloader, it game the preflash error.
After this proper update flash, is there a way to run the bootloader CMD to just re-lock the bootloader?
Here's the recovery before the 7.0 one, just incase.. Was bored. Ok, I won't lie....didn't see u posted the 7.0 recovery....lol.:good::highfive:

What is everyone's fascination with relocking the bootloader? You do not need to relock your bootloader. You cannot relock the bootloader unless all your system partitions match. Use my part 2 section. Read the notes, skip the bootloader lock commands. Leave your bootloader unlocked, get up and running on nougat, then you can issue the lock commands if you really want a locked bootloader.
How exactly do you flash the 24.49-18-16 OTA? I'm stuck at this part

Copy the file to the root of your internal storage. Reboot into recovery. Hold power = volume up & release to access menu options. Choose apply update from storage. Select the OTA.zip package and let it install. (Directions are clearly written in OP.)
Does it matter which version you're on? I'm currently on MPSH24.49-18-4 with the May 2016 security update.

Part 1 implies that you are on MPSH24.49-18-16 (dec), for part 2 - no it doesn't matter. Go ahead and start with the full firmware available MPSH24.49-18-8 and follow the steps from there.

Ok. Was going to have to follow option two anyway because of how I rooted...
Now I also take it that flashing Magisk is recommended, but optional?

Root is completely up to you. It's noted so users know that TWRP/Root are working. My logic with any XDA thread is that your bootloader is unlocked and you want root, but that's me...

I am running Dirty Unicorns right now and when i looked up what I'm on in fastboot, it showed MPSH24.49-18-16. Would I just follow part 2 and use MPSH24.49-18-8 or something? I thought I had to use at least the version I'm on or newer.

Your issue is that TWRP has modified your
System, any restoring of the stock rom will fail to update. So yes, you'll need to go through part 2 and downgrade and work your way back up.

I downloaded the zip (it took a while).
Restored to stock like 3 different ways but still hit a road block. I went the adb sideload route but got status error 7 because my build fingerprint wasn't correct. I tried searching for the right build I need, but I'm not an expert and couldn't find the right set of files that I was sure I knew how to restore. I ended up restoring my AICP backup.
If somebody could PM me and give me a hand (messaging through Hangouts or something) that would be AWESOME!
I'm planning trying to snag an XL 2 pre-order next week, but until then the less headache the better! Plus stock Nougat looks better on a Swappa listing
Trying to sideload via recovery 24.49-18-16 but I keep getting "("unexpected contents:EMMC:/dev/block/bootdevice/by-name/boot...". I've also tried installing from the phone but the same error appears in recovery. Any ideas?
I ask before in "guide to root motorla g stylus":
really is no way to work OTA while Magisk installed? i mean some Magisk Hide Props Config, or not install TWRP or anything? i actualy have Nokia 7 Plus (unlocked via unoficial method) and last year while not installed TWRP is possible check system update, install over air (while Magisk is installed), before reboot run MagiskManager, install Magisk to other slot, reboot, started from updated slot with Magisk installed, without need flash stock boot img before ota and flash manualy patched boot img after OTA... sure have Moto G Pro additional check or limitation and this not work? thanks...

without reaction, then try make separated thread, i actualy have one week "Motorola Moto G Pro" (XT2043-7), rooted, and wait for OTA, UpdateCheck in Settings not show me, try LMSA Rescue/Download and show me same version as have installed QPRS30.80-109-2-7...
Questions:
- Have any user of same phone, without root, already showed Octorber OTA?
- Is on rooted posible UpdateCheck with show if OTA avaiable?
- Have any working solution for OTA update on rooted phone without need connected with PC? Similar or same as i write about Nokia7Plus?
(i mean without flash back stock img, make ota, patch new boot.img file in MagiskManager, flash it via TWRP booted...
i think without PC be sure posible flash back stock boot.img to boot partition, before OTA, maybe download zip of full "rom" and extract boot.img, patch via MagiskManager, but not flash patched
EDIT: Sollution here
The answers to your first two questions are yes. When on stock I successfully updated. And while rooted there was a notification for ota update, it would download, but fall to install. I came across a way to do it without having to connect to pc. Some said it was successful but I was not able to try. It has something to do with placing your original boot.img into a a folder on one of the root directories but I had no idea how in the hell they came up with the system path to the file (encrypted??) Because I didn't have any of the folders on my phone and was to lazy at the time to ask for help. It was also an older thread so I didn't feel like bringing up a thread that old.
without root you updated system to higher (with Ocrober security patches) version than QPRS30.80-109-2-7 (this version have September security patches) ?
second part of you answer i think not understand, with rooted phone, put boot.img in "a" directory in one (which?where?) root folder and OTA services flash it before upgrade/reboot???
please, anyone with "Motorola Moto G Pro" (XT2043-7), channel "reteu", have already displayed update notification for "QPRS30.80-109-2-8" ?
Yesterday i finally get OTA notify with QPRS30.80-109-2-8, with Magisk installed, ofcourse failed install, then i find this solution, to update OTA over Air with Magisk installed without need any steps with PC
Code:
1. Settings System/DeveloperOptions/AutomaticSystemUpdate=Disable
2. Settings System/SystemUpdate/.../SmartUpdate=Disable
3. MagiskManager UninstallMagisk/RestoreImages
4. Settings System/SystemUpdate "doing normal update and wait for finish"
5. After OTA Instralled [B]NOT[/B] Restart
6. MagiskManager MagiskInstall/InstallToInactiveSlotAfterOTA/LetsGo "wait for finish"
7. After Magisk installed tap to Reboot button in Magisk Instalation wIndow...
Very nice writeup. With respect to step 3, I never installed Magisk Manager (I simply did the patch of boot.img) so what should I do to restore image? With respect to step 5, how do I get to that point? Is it a prompt after rebooting?

I installed Magisk Manager via download of apk file (not TWRP). I then clicked on Magisk and chose "Select and patch a file". The end result was getting root. I never actually did a separate install of Magisk or Magisk Manager. I wonder if your step 3 will work in this case.

Understand, but as i write, you must have installed Magisk via TWRP, with this method, Magisk make backup of boot image to "/data/magisk_backup_SomeRandomStrings/boot.img.gz", this file is used when you doing step 3, but if you only patch stock boot file, then ofcourse this backup is not created... i sugest you:
- revert boot to stock via same way as you flash patched before, but using stock boot.img
- boot TWRP (NOT flash, use command is section "Boot") and install Magisk.zip oficial release
- if on your phone/touchscreen variant not work touchscreen in TWRP, then (while still is booted TWRP) install it using adb
Thanks.
I have a couple questions:
1. Is it true that one shouldn't do an OTA unless the corresponding firmware can be downloaded due to the fact that you will lose root and not be able replace it until the corresponding boot.img can be obtained?
2. When downloading firmware from LMSA, does it download the latest or does it download your current version?

1. NO - i with Magisk installed, receive OTA October (delayed) and November, and hope with december be same
not need wait for avaiable boot.img, because with "Boot TWRP & Flash MagiskZip" is patched onthefly "any" version of boot partition on device.
2. not sure, i not use LMSA

Tried the above steps, but OTA update unsuccessful. Discovered that phone still rooted so obviously step 3 did not work for me. What should I try next? How about fastboot of original boot.img?

step 3 restore boot image(what show you MagiskManager as output while you restore images??), but without reboot you have ofcourse still root, and you can't reboot if you want patch boot in other slot after ota via MagiskManager....
but i don't know reason why OTA failed anyway restoring original boot.img via fastboot be i think possible (not try in MotoGPro but manytime with Nokia7Plus)

Thanks. Magisk simply says, "restoration done". Once I fastboot boot.img will I need to re-install magisk from scratch or should I continue with steps 6 and 7?

maybe magisk backup boot.img have already twrp inside if you install twrp before magisk?
anyway, if you flash stock boot.img, then step 6&7 is not applicable, because this need booted rooted system

Thank you for this! Since Magisk removed the option for OTA install, I was forced to do it the harder way... But you my friend made it much easier on me ! Thank you!!
Sorry for newbie's question, what's the difference between the two files? one is stock and one is patched?
Yes. Stock has to be flashed to take next ota. And patched is for root on current rom. Since op9 now uses google ota if any partitions are modified including the boot image ,it will fail.

Mine still there as well. But I like to flash stock boot image back. Take ota. Then fastboot boot patched.img. Dump current boot image to sd through shell. Then direct install in magisk. I've seen many users have issues taking ota's using the other method. As in not even being able to boot or booting back into old build . So I prefer this way. Wanna avoid the msm tool and not loose data on device/have to factory reset.

Edit- I got it, I had to flash original images and then updates showed up. Thanks for posting these images.
Hi, thanks for posting the images. I assume global as in the US AA model since that is the only model with OTA from googles server right? The reason I was asking is I am on 11.0.4.4 and never received the notification for the update yet, but using oxygen updater, when I go in settings and check advanced mode, it shows a incremental update. My system under local file of course can't see it or will not show the update. I figured I could fastboot boot the stock image and then maybe it system could see the update, but when I try, the device just hangs on the fastboot screen(right before normally booting). I tried with my image and it booted. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks

Aren't you supposed to flash 11.2.5.5 if you are on 11.2.5.5?
After that uninstall magisk, update ota and 3. and 4. ?

You are correct my friend. One needs stock untouched boot image to be able to take next update. If your on 11.2.5.5 you need that boot image to get ota to install correctly. This 11.2.6.6 img if for next round of updates. Here is 11.2.5.5 for anyone that might still be on older build.

Appreciate the input. I have been out of the game since the 6t so I am still trying to catch up
UPDATED POST
Alternatively, you could:
1. Go to Magisk manager, and tap Uninstall to unroot. And then regular reboot.*
2. Download and install partial OTA, reboot and confirm update. Reboot to bootloader.
3. Fastboot boot patched boot img**
4. Go to Magisk Manager and direct install for permanent root.
5. Reboot and profit.
*this step presupposes that Magisk has a STOCK boot.img to restore for the unroot procedure. If it does not have that, you're obligated to use the process described in post #11.
**you could actually use a recent previous version of patched boot img (like patched 11244) if the update's patched boot img is still unavailable, and then use Magisk manager to patch the update with a direct install

So doing it this method backs up stock untouched current boot image and reflashes during uninstall of magisk to allow ota to go through.? Since the op9 uses google ota all partitions have to be stock including boot image. Or it fails

What's the command to flash the stock 11.2.5.5 boot.img? I tried renaming the boot_a.img the mattie_49 posted to boot.img but it would not flash.

Thanks. Got the command to work this time. Tried a few times yesterday but had no luck
I cant do normal OTA updates, nor can I install them with the built in installer in settings (that I gained with conversion). Im not exactly sure why and trying to figure this out. Were you able to update as normal to A13?
Its possible I broke something (cant think of what), so Im restoring my after-root twrp "base" backup to see if it can OTA.
Figured Id ask in the meantime...

You have to uninstall magisk/restore images. Then start ota. Then before you reboot go into magisk again and install to opposite slot and reboot . After ota has installed. Stock boot image is the only way it works. It's will fail upon checksum of partitions by google
I figured as I just went back to my base savior A11 rom fresh root, and still nothing. Thank you!
Uninstall magisk it automatically restores boot images right?
*Actually do I need stock boot? I have twrp. Where do I get stock boot image?
Im screwed. Its unable to restore my old image from usb, so Im bricked now. No idea what to do.

Do you know how I can get back to stock boot?
NM found it. So to be sure, when i want to move from A11 I need to uninstall Magisk, boot to fastboot, then fastboot flash stock boot.img?
Here
^But I have twrp, so wont restoring just bring me to unlocked bootloader unrooted with twrp? (*still not stock?)
*Sorry for the questions. It just seems TWRP has problems restoring backup completely (or I missed something, I backed up everything in TWRP maybe I dont need to do that?).
Im trying to avoid what happened a couple nights ago, because I lost confidence in TWRP on this phone. Usually, its just something ****s up? Well restore your backup, because you just made one. That didn't work completely (it didn't restore /data), and I had to set up a ton I dont want to do again, unless Im on custom A13 rom. Got savegames!
Thanks for all help.
I was on android 12 with april 2022 security update, so it was a very very early android 12 build. I couldn't update via OTA cause I kept getting "update failed" I was rooted, had data I didn't wanna lose so I just ignored it.
I'm now on A13 with root. what I did was: MSM tool back to A11, update via OTA until I reach final official build, extract the boot file through msmtool, patched it with magisk, flashed it via fastboot, job done.
Couldnt Magisk patch boot image from app? Instead of extracting it? Thats how I did it on 11.
I also dont know how to use msm tool to get to 11, or even where to get files. *I think this is it? General - OnePlus 9 11.2.22.2 (T-Mobile) MSM Download Tool | XDA Forums
*Thats exactly whats happening to me too. update failed. So I guess this would be a sure fix.

Wait. How did you unlock bootloader (after MSM put your phone back to lock BL I assume)? Is the option later available on Tmobile roms? Did you need a token?

you get update failed bec. of the magisk image. you have to restore to stock image before you download the OTA. in magisk dashboard, go to uninstall magisk. choose RESTORE IMAGES. download the ota. do not reboot. go to magisk and install magisk. choose install Magisk after OTA (or something) then press Let's go. and reboot.

Doesn't having twrp boot image installed mean that magisk restored twrp image to when before magisk patches it (so it's not actually stock)? Doesn't it just restore a non rooted image with twrp on it?
