Hi All,
I have Moto X play running on android 5.1.1 lollipop. It was rooted recently and used with cyanogen Mod 12.1 for a month. during that time i did back up of entire phone. later i restored that and at present i have been using stock Rom. Recently i got official update for Android marshmallow and i downloaded the 500+Mb file and tried to install. In that process it was going to Twrp recovery mode and not installing properly. So i did reboot system. After 5 mins i turned on mobile, it got shutdown and i again restored my backup . It was working fine. cant we update to Marshmallow with the rooted device? If so how to stop the notifications of android system updates? I tried this way but still i am getting update notification
Apps--> All---> Motorola Update services--> turned off the notification
.How to disable it so that i should not receive update notification? or any other process to upgrade to marshmallow even after rooting? Please let me know

you need stock recovery to update to OTA mm, you cannot update from TWRP. download the lollipop stock-firmware extract the recovery file and flash it, then update.
i wanted to ask that after restoring from backup you got OTA update notification ? or you downloaded the MM update from other sources?? because i thought after rooting i wont get official OTA.

if you have your backup just do a full flash on stock rom and start fresh. there's an Asian 6.0 rom (I believe it is Indian) on the x play github. then proceed with root again.

Actually i am not android developer or android related person. After i heard many things about rooting the devices. I just give it a try by watching the video in you tube. So i am not aware of the core technical terms you specified.
First rooted the mobile. before installing the cyanogen Mod 12.1, i took back up in TWRP recovery mode. i used that same backup to restore after my device got shutdown. Yes even after rooting i got the Update notification

i think if you can block/disable notifications for Google Play Services, it'll remove the update notification.

Sir, Is it possible to unroot the rooted devices in any way? if so could you please let me know
if you want to unroot you can do it from superuser, its mentioned in the youtube video. just unroot from superuser settings.
then if you want to upgrade to marshmallow download Indian stock lollipop rom from https://github.com/motoxplay/stock. unzip it on your computer to the the folder where you kept TWRP while flashing it . you'll see a file named recovery.img.
from adb run the command
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
i.e flash this recovery just the way you flashed TWRP.
then you can update to marshmallow.
and did disabling google play services removed your update notification???

You just have to download the twrp flashable 6.0 zip file and restore it through twrp. No extra things.

nope no problem just flash the recovery. but before doing anything take a backup on your external sdcard twrp>>backup[look at bottom to change where to store the backup select sd card] for security if in case anything goes wrong, you can flash twrp again and restore.

Just follow the procedure as given in that thread and everything will be fine.
It has nothing to do with the way you rooted your phone.
If a phone has twrp installed, he has nothing to fear about upgrading to latest versions as the updates are made available on Xda in Twrp flashable zip.
So no need to format the stock firmware again and then update and then all the headache.

Sir, In your previous post you meant to say this?
1. First unroot the mobile using the super Su (settings)
2. Then flash the Stock lollipop rom mentioned in the github
3. Then update the mobile to Marshmallow
4. Then again root the device

1. correct
1.1. check oem unlock and usb debugging
1.2. Copy the original old backup which you took, to your external sdcard. [just to return to stock if anything goes wrong]
2. Just flash the recovery which is present in the lollipop rom, no need to flash the whole rom.
3. correct
4. Do NOT flash the old superuser to root. To root again follow these steps http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-play/general/root-how-to-root-6-0-easly-t3277202
that other post was much easier

Hi Sir, I followed the other method. downloaded the twrp 6.0 zip from the thread. extracted to sdcard/twrp/backups.
wiped the data, restored that. after that i flashed the Super Su and reboot system. but it was stuck at motorola logo. in that description this will happen if we choose install super su. But i didnt do that.but still stuck at motorola logo.
so again i tried and now with out flashed Super su and downloaded super Su from google play,. getting error binaries cannot be updated. please help me
I will try to keep it short and concise;
Had android 5.0.1 (if I recall correctly), unlocked it, installed twrp and rooted it.
Then used the local update option to get to marshmallo. Then tried to root again using supersu and it wouldn't boot. Tried restoring nandroid backup of 5.0.1 backup but it wont boot either.
I have searched for many hours and tried many different roms etc. I can only get to the boot animation and it just stays there.
I can get into TWRP and bootloader with no issue but have no idea if I can use the dload option if I can not boot into the OS.
Can someone please help me get this back either to the stock rom or a custom marshmallo rom installed?
I will be honest that I don't fully understand what it means when there is a prerequisite of "You must already be on B201 or higher to flash this" such as with the Simply International I have tried to flash. And am not sure what the EMUI version is or how it affects what can be installed.
Thanks for any info.
Hello
1) First of all, go into TWRP recovery, and do a full wipe. Then reboot and wait.
2) If unsucessfull, try out the downgrade file for 702L : http://download-c.huawei.com/download/downloadCenter?downloadId=81363&version=323452&siteCode=tw . It does install with official dload method
3) If it's not enough, you'll have to use ADB to fix your device I guess:
https://androidmtk.com/download-minimal-adb-and-fastboot-tool
http://lifehacker.com/the-easiest-way-to-install-androids-adb-and-fastboot-to-1586992378?
its use on X2:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=62829551#post62829551
(and following post)
pick up the file from your last installed (or nandroid restored) ROM to use with huawei update extractor.
==
but try out 1 &2, and come back here before using ADB, to have more precise instructions
Hi, my son's phone became unusable after clicking on an MMS link. I have since been able to unlock and get TWRP installed on it. After that I am unable to flash ANY kind of firmware on it (PRA-LX2). It had already updated to the latest version of EMUI droid 6. No matter trying to flash via Fastboot, sideload or SD card nothing works. In some places I found info saying that one can't flash lower versions of Android as the latest update changes the partitions. Huawei says the latest update is unavailable for download, so no way to get it as obviously HiSuite does not work.
If anyone can help me out I'd be very grateful. If there is any other info anyone needs about this problem please just let me know and I'll do my best to find what you need to help. Thanks

Hi guys,
I tried to update my Bln-l21 from emui 5 (nougat) to emui 8 (oreo) using the guide https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-6x/how-to/guide-update-to-emui-8-t3807806
It worked so I went on to install TWRP from https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-6x/development/rom-emui-8-0-0-honor-6x-dual-sim-t3794079, as suggested in a comment on the guide.
Only then I realized that in order to install Gapps I needed GSM installer, so I downloaded it, but it didn't work because it loaded TWRP instead of the stock erecovery.
I started to panic real bad
I tried reinstalling the firmware using hwota8 (since i had upgraded i figured i had to use that), but it completely destroyed my phone.
Now it wont boot, recovery wont boot and neither erecovery. I can only get it to enter fastboot.
I know, I am a total noob, but PLEASE help me out on this, i'm desperate.
Thank you so much
If you can enter into fastboot, just install twrp, boot into twrp and flash the ROM using HuRUpdater. Use your external storage for the HuRUpdater and the ROM files. The instructions are here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-9/development/tool-flash-official-firmware-recovery-t3769279
Before flashing through Hurupdater wipe system Cache Data Internal and Dalvik/ART Cache.

Thank you for the answer, I was able to boot in TWRP (the one in the original post) and I downloaded Huru, but I'm unsure of which firmware to use. I want to downgrade back to nougat and rebrand back to europe (since the guide in the original post made me change to china).
Thank you again
Just use China and then install a custom ROM

Just use the original files you used in the first place. The ones you downloaded from the thread. In terms of a custom ROM there is a thread in Custom ROMS section for Pixys OS. Just search stable Pie ROM for Honor 6x and install it. It's very smooth, etc.
This is a EMUI 8 ROM. If you want to go back to EMUI 5 don't use this. This will only restore EMUI 8. After that flash Custom ROM Don't go back to EMUI 5

Hi, I successfully flashed with Hurupdater and I'm going trough the installation of the pixys rom. The guide says that i need to flash the stock recovery for my device, where can I find it?
Can I pull it from the firmware I used for Huru? If that's the case, how?
Thank you again
I do have instructions over there but cause you asked I will tell.
Extract the Update.zip the large file. In it you will have an Update.app. Now serach for Huawei Update Extractor on XDA and Download it. Run the application and navigate to Update.app. Select it and in settings of Extractor uncheck the first option. Now extract Recovery_Ramdis.img and flash it. Luck.

Really there is no need for that. I did what anyone would do. Your thanks is enough.
Can you tell me what version you flashed. What TWRP did you use and what was the message after flashing.Now regarding Magisk, I am gonna assume you flashed the ZIP and the Magisk Manager app didn't show up, correct? To solve that just download Magisk Manager v6.0.1 and install the apk.
If that's not the issue then download any Root Checker app to see if device is rooted. Although I guess you need Magisk Manager to validate Root access. So just install Magisk Manager and let me know what it says. If it says device is unrooted then you probably need to flash Magisk again.
P.S: I don't have a PayPal. Not yet available in my country.

I really appreciate your kindness,
I flashed the latest version of magisk available from the official thread using the same TWRP from before (king of mezi TWRP from elemental rom thread) and it looked fine... Yes, the app didn't show up, I will try with the manager and I'll let you know.
[edit] I installed the manager and turns out it actually worked the first time and I'm already rooted!
Thank you again, you've been wonderful!
Glad to help.
Hello everyone,
First of all, sorry if i post it in the wrong section and if i am not always making sense.
So here is my situation :
i have a HTC U11 which i rooted a long time ago with TWRP & SU.
I then switch SU to Magisk (a year ago), because i needed to hide my root from few apps.
I wanted to update magisk Manager, but i lamely failed
(i went to recovery mode, installed the uninstaller ZIP for Magisk in order to put a version above 18 but then i had a boot.img missing error)
So i did restore an old backup that i had from 2017...
Currently i have :
Version android : 7.1.1
Firmware version : 1.27.400.8
Magisk version : 18.1
Magisk Manager Version : v7.1.1
TWRP Version : 3.3.0.0-ocn
My questions :
I want to update my firmware. I mean, my phone tells me there is an update. Is it what we call OTA ?
After i've downloaded the new firmware version (1.27.400.21), i select install now, and my phone reboots to Recovery mode, but asks me for a password (to decrypt data).
What the hell is that ?
Also, i would like to be able to still install this new version (and the futures ones).
How do i do that ?
Is it possible to upgrade the Android version too ?
I wish not to have to wipe or lose data.
What's the point to wipe data, dalvik, cache ?
When you do it do you lose your personnal data ?
Many thanks for your helps and support

Find out your cid/mid
You will need to flash the appropriate ruu (nougot) for your phone from here (sd card method)
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/15JL3tRWDSVOUKo_revEYtQ_tRcOSJ0vWcvk8a7TK8Hk/htmlview
in order to receive the ota updates. And yes you will lose everything. Backup as much as you can . And once you go to pie there is no going back unless s-off. ( There is another way but more involved) . hth
Thanks for your reply.
How do i find my cid/mid ?
I tried yesterday to use adb, but i could NOT find my device in download mode... The only way i was able to see it was to boot in recovery mode.
Can i still get my cid & mid if can find my device whilst it's in recovery mode ?
So i understood that i need to download the right file, rename it, put it on the root of the SD CARD and then boot my phone in bootlader mode.
Don't i have at some point specify the ZIP file to use ? Does it mean it will detect it automatically ?
Then why doesn't it work if i put it on the root of the internal sotrage of my phone ?
If i flash a RUU, will my phone still be rooted and unlocked ?

I believe the adb command is "getvar all" while in the download mode. get the cid/ mid number reboot then get matching nougot ruu zip. rename to 2pzcimg. zip place in the root of sd card boot to download mode not bootloader, it will detect automatically, hth

Oh no it won't be, you will have to reinstall twrp, Magisk,
fair enough.
but sadly, adb doesn't work on my computer. I can't see my phone.

download more & bootloader mode, i can't find it.

but sadly, adb doesn't work on my computer. I can't see my phone.
I only get something when my phone is in recovery mode.
download more & bootloader mode, i can't find it.

Try installing htc sync manager then reboot and run adb. You just may need the right drivers
I have read more about it and you're right it should be something like that.
Also, once i have flashed the RUU, rooted again, installed TWRP & Magisk, will i still be able to update OTA ?
I don't understand when some people say they uninstalled Magisk, intall the OTA and install Magisk back on...
Is it really the way to do it ? To be able to install latest OTAs ?

You will have to install ota before rooting , once rooted or twrp installed Ota will not install. This is my understanding, if someone has a different approach please chime in. Installing just the firmware is a different animal and requires more reading!! Hth
Okay so we are on the same page.
So my question is ow do you keep installing OTAs when your phone rooted or with TWRP ??
also i remember my cid is HTC__060 which i believe is india.
Is there anyway i can change it to Europe ? I mean, is there any interest for me to do so ?

Ota will stop once twrp is installed, I really don't see a benefit changing cid, but that's up to u ?
To install an OTA with twrp you have to:
1. Download the OTA in zip format (search in this forum).
2. Copy it to mobile memory.
3. Reboot to twrp and apply manually the zip.
If you are going to change the Cid, change to Taiwan version (that region has received more updates than the rest of the world).
