How to update rooted european e8 to android 6

Hi guys,
I am using a rooted HTC e8 (european/german version with 1 sim only) with TWRP.
Software Infos from the about sceen: android version 5.0.2, HTC Sense 6.0, Software number 2.34.401.6 ...
I do want to upgrade to android 6 (have the notification sitting on my phone for months now) but I am not really sure how. I can't just do the ota update with my custom recovery (right?!).
Here are the steps I used to get root on the last android 5 update:
then follow these instructions
1. Rename file to RUU.zip
2. Place it in adb folder
3. Reboot phone to fastboot mode
4. S On need to relock bootloader (fastboot oem lock) , S Off lock not needed
5. Also use the htc_fastboot.exe not the normal fastboot.exe
Run the following commands from your adb folder:
6.fastboot oem rebootRUU
7.fastboot flash zip RUU.zip
8.fastboot reboot
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Can I just do the same again? What would be the right RUU for me?
Afterwards how do I get the right version of twrp back and how do I root again?
Sorry for all these questions but most of this is new to me, so thanks for any helpful answer

Someone?

Hey, thanks for the link! Great site (and even german ).
So am I right, that I need to do this to get my updates:
get the Android_5.0.2_M8_ACE_2.34.401.5 RUU from your site and flash it
start the phone and let it do its normal update to android 6
Get the latest version of twrp and flash it
Install/flash the superSU from your post here to get root again (is that one still the right one?)
If anyone can confirm this I will try it soon. Thanks :good:

I guess I do not need the whole ruu but just to flash the stock recovery from your site. Rest should still be right?!
Edit: Or not, afaik that only works if nothing else has been changed and I have superSU installed and might have changed something.

best and easiest way is twrp backup.just you must download latest twrp from snoopy-haeckers.jimdo.com and restore it from twrp recovery .with this way you never need to flash ruu or lock bootloder or flash stock recovery and........
restore it
https://docs.google.com/uc?id=0B0QMeWRH_17FQ0t5SWluSHpQTVE&export=download

I did just that (restored the twrp backup from your link) and after that my phone was stuck at the start screen (htc one, the white one). Any idea whats wrong or how to fix it?
Restoring my own backup from before worked and is running again atm. Might it be a problem to restore a backup with a newer version of android?

Whats your android version?and check your Hboot version

I did try it again after unzipping and copying the files to my phone again and updating to the newest twrp version. This time it worked. Thanks for the help!

Can someone please help? Urgent

I have mediapad x2 gem-702l b006, I flashed twrp 5.1 by accident and now it won't boot into recovery and it would factory reset, no adb, only fast boot. Nothing works, please help!

Did you try to fastboot flash another recovery, stock or TWRP ?

https://yadi.sk/d/5YI63uiAhz5UD/Recovery/Original
http://cn.club.vmall.com/thread-3975008-1-1.html

flash the original recovery. I extracted the file for you from this new B206 and uploaded it herehttps://drive.google.com/file/d/1SZEaIptVnPygxRRNA72iymdUbcjirOJp/view?usp=sharing
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
then flash the 6.0 TWRP to recovery2 partition to have both.
fastboot flash recovery2 TWRP_3.1.1-0_DeepBlue_X2.img
Please report if you were able to root this version.

[Rom] Elephone U Pro StockRom 20180918 ( unofficial locked bootloader))

Elephone U Pro Stock Rom Build 20180918 locked bootlaoder
Download Full Rom: https://drive.google.com/open?id=1c07U5rQol7o85XxU6ggu4_6fm3yFimAS
u pro tools: https://1drv.ms/u/s!Am93l3qEx-D_hOcLmv0inQJ-vrVdLg
what you need:
1. Qfil flashtool driver ( install them first)
2. Qfil flashtools
3. Android Debug Bridge ( ADB)
Only want OTA files:
( Original from Elephone )
OTA Files from Elephone:
1 flash this via the fota app 20180917: https://mega.nz/#!LgRhUazS!AEoulp2tqE-8LNzobp3XkeZ6KQ34JkcbWUVUULTHsCc
2. then this 20180918: https://mega.nz/#!T8YxCKrL!1Uga9wPUT7yqJFMgCaL0qxe-k6ilXR5eXxmNB1CdySo
Place the zips into your internal stoarge and use settings/system/system update ( fota app)
How To:
extract the downloaded zip files
1. install QPST/QFIL Flashtools and place adb to C:/
2. Install drivers ( qualcom drivers. make sure that they dont interrupt with other device drivers you have .)
enable usb debugging in developer settings
you have to reboot your device into edl mode by
Code:
C:\>cd adb
adb shell
reboot edl
phone will reboot to edl mode ( black screen, no led)
Now check your device manager . the COM & LTP port should show "Qualcomm HS-USB QDLoader 9008"
if not then update the driver and choose it from your internal list. or google for it
if the driver is fine, open the QPST/QFIL FLashtool in
Code:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Qualcomm\QPST\bin\QFIL.exe
prepare the Flashtool:
in Select Build Type:
choose: Flat Build
in Select Programmer:
browse and choose the "prog_emmc_ufs_firehose_Sdm660_ddr.elf" file
( you cant see it, change to "all files" )
Load XML:
now choose the rawprogram_unsparse.xml and right after the patch0.xml
you can press the "download button"
wait a bit , at the end of the flashing procedure it will make an error, thats normal because i left the patch0.xml empty.
after all disconnect the cable and hold Power button a few seconds. phone will reboot .
the build is without userdata that means it will be Stock and like a factory reset.
enjoy

Hi, newbie here.
My Elephone U Pro has stock rom Build 20180227 and stopped receiving OTA, dont know why the updates stopped from Elephone, do you know why?
Would like to use the OTA files doing your instructions:
"1 flash this via the fota app 20180917
2. then this 20180918
Place the zips into your internal stoarge and use settings/system/system update ( fota app)"
can this be done directly or before doing this, i need to do other manual updates (from April/May)?
Does this will change bootloader status?
May i lose IMEI's?
Do this will disable oficial OTA's (if there is any) from Elephone?
Thank you for your time.

I have local updated without any issues. Thank you. At least the security patch is now 5 Sept 2018.
Not sure if it's relevant but on Play Store > Settings it now shows that the device is not certified. But i think i don't need that and will be a problem more for Android Pay users.
Many thanks for your help.

I know. Only 0227 and 423 base has certified play protect.
But it is not an issue at all.
All will work.
Not certified means that the safety net isn't passed.
You can fix it with root. And a patch.
But for only stock users that isn't a problem.
I think all will work.
You can check that. Search in playstore for Netflix
. If you can install that app , all is fine.
Btw.
In 3hours I upload the new 20190918 base stock rom.
With locked bootloader. So it's fully stock . I was able to fix that unlock issue in later builds...

Mate
This is the latest rom. (There is the no forward OTA file)
And flashing will wipe all.
So I would say stay on the ROM you are and wait until Elephone fixes the issues with ota

relock bootloader

Hello, can anyone confirm that after a relock of the bootloader the Mix 3 becomes a brick? This is supposed to be so, according to Trading Shenzhen. I'd like to switch back to Global Stable and close the bootloader for Google Pay.

I have relocked accidentally with a fastboot flash of a rom with MiFlash and my device is not became a brick.
The best way for you is to flash a fastboot original rom and choose the option "Clean all and lock" in MiFash program.

It will brick if you lock a Chinese device on global rom or a global device with Chinese rom

bootloader play store
i saw you say something about google play, does unlocking the bootloader cause the device to not be certified anymore? and can you 'recertify' the device just by locking the bootloader again?

No, it doesn't. Every Android device I've ever owned has had an unlocked bootloader, and I've never had a problem with the Play store.

my specific problem is that i can't download Netflix (yes very 1st world?), it just says your device isn't compatible with this version

[ROOT] Root for 10.3.1.0 Global

Hi all,
Is anyone rooted on global hardware global ROM 10.3.1.0? I've been getting the update notifications for a while but have been hesitant to update in case I loose root, I've never updated with an OTA on a rooted device before. To update, can I just download the OTA then reflash TWRP and Magisk and be good to go? Has anyone tried this? If so, what version of TWRP and Magisk did you use successfully?
Thanks in advance for any input/advice!

Download the OTA, install it via TWRP, boot into the system and flashing TWRP via ADB again. Boot into the TWRP and flash again magisk. That's how it worked for me. At least with my mix 2 [emoji1360]
