6.0.1 ota with stock rooted 6.0

My v10 downloaded an OTA , which im assuming is 6.0
1. Im rooted on stock 6.0 and unlocked boot loader. Will the OTA work without messing up anything ? Ill have to root again im sure, just want some info before i pull the trigger.

I don't think the update will even proceed being that you're on a rooted ROM. I have that notification too, and i just don't know how to turn it off.

I to am rooted,unlockboot and stock rom. I don't feel like taking a chance. So I used titanium backup to freeze the software update and in the drop down notification if you press it, it's a notification from Google play services if you block it in apps it will disappear from your drop down. I also deleted the update zip in the cache folder.I used es file explorer ,device/cache/update

Okay, I'm assuming you are on H90120e (system version). There is a root exploit for the H90120j update. You just do the following:
Make a backup of your apps and settings
Flash your phone to the new update (H90120j)?
Take a look at either one of these threads to root your device again:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-lg-v10/general/step-step-guide-rooting-lg-v10-using-t3382631
OR
http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-lg-v10/general/root-android-6-0-h901-t3382819

You can't flash the phone that is already rooted and has TWRP.
I am in this same situation. On stock rom with root and twrp. I want to update to the new update, but do not want to loose all my apps, settings, etc.
Question is, how to do the initial update before having to re-root again?
How do we flash the phone with the new update?

Why can't you flash the phone that is already rooted and has TWRP?
All you are doing is opening the LGUP tool and flashing the new H90120j .kdz file using the "refurbish" option then flashing the H90120j .tot file that has TWRP using the "update" option which will flash the phone regardless of what is running on your phone. The guides on the first link explain that. I believe your concern is keeping all of your settings and apps. Look up Titanium backup, it works for me.

Thank you. I only flash the LGH901AT-01-V20j-310-260-JUL-12-2016-ARB02+0ROOTTWRP tot file and all is good.
Well except that I lost Dolby audio.
I will look for a fix.

Hi,
Do I have to use LGUP to install the update or can I click install on the dropdown of my phone?
I'm on stock MM 6.0 (H90120e) Rooted and I will not have access to my main PC for another week as I'm traveling.
Thanks,

Anyone?

There's a guide in general that tells how to do all this. In fact jun19inf WROTE it.
In a nutshell, do a twrp backup.
Upgrade to 20j by flashing the stock 20j kbz.
Enable usb debugging and oem unlock
flash tot that has twrp in it.
Now you can go into twrp and 1) root via supersu 2) restore ONLY data from your twrp backup taken previously to get your apps etc back. Alternatively Titanium Backup will also do just fine.

If all is you have is root, you should be able to unroot in the SuperSU settings, and then let the update install. But if you have TWRP, then I can't see any way to do the update without using a PC to flash your phone back to stock ROM and recovery. Although you may check the dev. section to see if Eliminator has a flashable ROM to bring you up to date.

Hi all. I just got my factory warranty back and I attempted to root it. Everything went as it should, until just after the install finished. Instead of rebooting normally, it now will only reboot into TWRP. Once there, when I try to flash a custom ROM (in this case, Bliss, but I don't think it matters, I get an error message that says the zip file is corrupt. Then, while still in recovery, when I tried to wipe everything except the sd card, it says mkfs.fat process ended with error. I then powered down and attempted the factory reset. I scrolled down on both screens and it did not say anything about any errors, so I assumed it took. However, it reboots right back into TWRP recovery. It also boots right to TWRP recovery when I try to boot normally. Of course, adb does not recognize the phone in any mode that I can get into (fastboot/recovery/download), so, I can't use LG Bridge to reflash the original firmware. Does anybody have any ideas for a fix? I know that this replacement phone had 6.0 on it. I thought I did everything to a t? TIA...
OK, not sure how I got there, but when I attempt to reboot from TWRP it says No OS Installed! Are you sure you want to reboot? That at least says what the problem is. Does anybody know how to fix this?

Where can I download the update file?

How to root V10 T-mobile M.M ver V20L
Can some one guide me on the following:
1. Can I flash back and downgrade to Software version V20J from V20L.
2. Is there any root method for V10 t-mobile MM ver V20L.

1. It is well explained in this forum, you CANNOT go back without facing a software brick.
2. You can root your phone through Dirty_Cow method or by flash Eliminater74 ROM (Part1 & Part2).
Again, search for that in this section and in development one...

Problems after installing TWRP (?)

Hi everyone, I have a SM-G955F Galaxy S8+ and yesterday I used the guide on Development forum for Exynous devices.
I had a few problems with Odin flashes, but in the end I got into TWRP recovery and flashed dm-verity. NOTE: I never flashed Magisk nor any ROM, I just initalized TWRP and booted to system.
Ever since a few problems occured. Yesterday an app crashed, few minutes later the phone rebooted. Today while surfing on Facebook it became EXTREMELY slow for 2 minutes and then rebooted and got stuck in Samsung logo untill I finally held Power + Vol Down.
1 hour ago I pulled the quick settings menu down and there were running pixels for a minute (the same when a TV doesn't find its' channel).
Why does it happen? I should've flashed a rom? Is that wrong to have TWRP without root? Is it certain that I did something wrong in this guide?

Hes a little confused, what your flashing with smartswitch or odin is factory firmware not a rom...there are major differences between the 2.
A rom you would flash with twrp.
I would flash SU or magisk to see if that clears up any of your issues.

Firmware and ROM is different.
Firmware controling hardware and helps software to works asynchrony with hardware.
ROM is software which can be custom and it has different kernel than factory system
Flashing tar.md5 files which is factory image of your phone you reset ALL changes that you made.

New Update - QF2

The security patch included is (most likely) the July one, since Samsung also just released a new software update to international models which includes the July security patch and Verizon has been updating the "Galaxy S" series phones with the July update over the past few weeks.

Updato is one way; this shows the list for the Verizon S5 with the most recent at the top; they haven't gotten the new update up yet though.
I think that another way would be for someone to dig through the update.zip file which would be on the phone of someone who got the OTA update downloaded but had not yet installed it yet.

To confirm, the only thing that's different between the dev-friendly version (when it comes out) and the stock is the missing aboot? Thanks again.

Since no one wanted to chime in and help me out in my post, you need to unzip the file and load the md5 into Odin's AP slot and flash it. Then let the phone do its thing and flash the latest TWRP with odin after. Then go back into TWRP and flash supersu to gain root again. Trying to flash right within TWRP is not an option, not sure why its not explained.

I always flash super su and whatever else I need in recovery after I've flashed the rom so I cant give you a definitive answer. Both phones did upgrade without data loss and now advanced calling/wifi calling actually work now which is why I flashed in the first place.

If you flash the dev boot loader friendly version it wont screw with your bootloader whatsoever. Before you restart go back in TWRP and flash supersu to get root again. Saying it "unlocked boot loader" may cause confusion to people because it does not, you need to manually go from locked to DEV status via a few of the methods posted in here.

XT1254 Won't boot to system after factory reset

Hi,
I have a VZW Quark that's been unlocked with Sunshine and rooted and running fine on custom ROM's for a year. Today I did a factory reset and complete wipe and reinstalled RR Rom and GApps etc. However, on reboot, it only goes back to recovery (TWRP 3.1.1-0). I faced this the last time as well and managed to find the fix by googling it but can't seem to get to it now. It was a quick fix and then it booted to system fine and I cannot remember it. Can anyone help! Thanks.

Someone else had this issue and they solved it by flashing the latest @bhb27 modded TWRP. You say you have TWRP 3.1.1, but is it from the TWRP website or from @bhb27? Flash this one below to make sure.
twrp-3.1.1-mod_2-quark.img
https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=39562
Once they flashed it, they were able to boot to system, then they booted back to TWRP (on purpose) -- and then upon subsequent reboots everything was fine.

Most current TWRP/Magisk for Unlocked OnePlus 7 Pro OOS 10.3.1.GM21AA (GM1917)

Hey, guys. So I've been messing with my phone all day after a soft brick after having BlissROM since Feb. Long story short, something with the ROM update and it messed with my phone. I wiped EVERYTHING thinking it would solve the problem. I was able to use the All-In-One tool to save my phone through the bootloader (Thank goodness!). I finally got it to boot up to stock this morning. I've been trying all morning to gain root, but once I do, I lose WiFi and Network connections. So my question is:
What is the most current version of TWRP and Magisk that will allow me to be on stock and have root without any problems?
This is my setup.
OnePlus 7 Pro
Android version: Android 10
Build: Oxygen OS 10.0.3.GM21AA (now updated to 10.3.1)
Model: GM1917
Unlocked OEM
Unlocked Bootloader
This is the method I am using to push TWRP though the bootloader.
https://androidmtk.com/download-minimal-adb-and-fastboot-tool
These are the files that flash through adb/fastboot and lose Wifi and Network connectivity.
TWRP 3.3.1-79-guacamole-unified-Q: https://sourceforge.net/projects/ma...-guacamole-unified-Q-mauronofrio.img/download
Magisk v20.4: https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases/download/v20.4/Magisk-v20.4.zip
Since I don't have any connectivity at this point, I attempt to flash BlissROM with the following steps.
BlissROM version that last worked for me: https://downloads.blissroms.com/BlissRoms/Q/guacamole/Bliss-v12.6-guacamole-OFFICIAL-20200425.zip
STEPS
Boot into recovery
Backup your current ROM
Perform a factory reset
Flash Bliss Rom
Reboot recovery
Flash OpenGapps--NANO PACKAGE!!
*Flash magisk* optional
Reboot to system
Also, as I've previously stated, I have attempted to flash BlissROM through TWRP and with root (without WiFi and Data), but it hangs on the boot screen. When I go to TWRP and try to reflash the ROM, it gives me the error "cannot mount storage". I follow the instructions as stated in the original post, so I figured it has to be something with the TWRP or Magisk versions not being compatible. Since that does not work, I have since flashed stock and am currently on that without problems. Any links to the most current TWRP/Magisk/rooting methods are greatly appreciated. And if someone could help with getting BlissROM back on my phone afterwards, that would be great. Thanks!

Pretty sure you need to update to 10.3.2 to get it working right.

I just realized I could update past the first update. I figured it would update to the most recent version version after the flash back to stock, not that it would be incremental. Thank you so much for the heads up!
I have the most recent version of Magisk downloaded. What is the best for 10.3.2?

Got it. Okay, so it looks like I'll be giving BlissROM one last shot!
Before I flash TWRP and Magisk, I looked on the Oneplus website for the 10.3.2 update and it looks like the most current posted is 10.3.1. Should I update to 10.3.2 for the latest ROMS, or will 10.3.1 work fine? If so, where can I find it?

I used the oxygen updater app to download the update and sideloaded it.

So it looks like that didn't work. I got stuck on a bootloop again and had to revert back to stock.
I can't seem to find what the problem is. Here is what I am flashing:
TWRP 3.3.1-79-guacamole-unified-Q: https://sourceforge.net/projects/mau...o.img/download
Magisk v20.4: https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/...gisk-v20.4.zip
This is the method I am using flash TWRP to the bootloader.
https://androidmtk.com/download-minimal-adb-and-fastboot-tool
When I flash both of those, I lose Wifi and Network on my stock ROM. I'm assuming one of them is also the reason why I can't flash BlissROM.

You don't need to flash magisk before you flash the ROM, just twrp. I do know when I bootlooped, it was because I missed a step, usually because I didnt wipe data.
Follow the flash instructions step by step or you will for sure bootloop. Read them over and over until you think you have a grasp of how to flash the ROM.
You can always get back into fastboot by holding power and both volume keys...then you can reflash twrp and start over. No need to go back to stock unless you want to or need to.
Just make sure you follow the instructions step by step. This device is a bit different to flash from the devices I have used before ...so it took me a few tries to get it done right.

I've been following the steps exactly as written. Take a look at step 5 on the TWRP thread. (https://forum.xda-developers.com/on...covery-unofficial-twrp-recovery-t3931322/amp/)
Install guide (Reccomended):
1. Install fastboot tools from google's sdk on your PC
2. Enter fastboot mode
3. Unlock your bootloader
4. Run "fastboot boot recoveryimgfilename.img" in command line (if you want to have it permanently you should flash the installer)
5. If you will flash the installer and you are stock you need also to flash magisk or your phone will not boot again
6. Enjoy it

Furthermore, this is also reiterated in the BlissROM thread. https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7-pro/development/rom-blissroms-v11-9-t3957341/page138
Make sure you are rooted
Make sure you have a custom recovery installed
For Q-BETA- Make sure you are on Q firmware, is currently set to use OOS 10.3.0 Stable firmware- CLEAN INSTALL!!

I also noted that in that previous quote, having the original 10.0.3 I had installed shouldn't have cause any problems. I wiped data (factory reset) every time I flashed BlissROM, as it is the third step in the process.
The reason why I go back to stock using the all-in-one tool is because I don't have anything else to flash. The whole reason I even had a soft brick was because I tried to go back to stock after my BlissROM update and flashed a OTA from the oneplus site. I probably did that incorrectly, however. Idk how what sideload is or how it functions. So that all-in-one tool is my only safety net.
