Hey, its been a while since I have updated my phone. Its v9.0.6 and I wanted to update it to the latest. I figured id run the command all.bat that will freshly reinstall the stock 9.0.6.
I downloaded the latest stock firmware from the website. After I update, what twrp and other instruction will I need to be able to access root and TWRP again? What Twrp image and I flashing to my phone?
Thanks, Brad
Hello, I do suggest the new update as many bugs has been fixed.
The rooting/twrp procedure is quite easy I suggest you to have a look at the guide
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-6/how-to/oneplus-6-unlock-bootloader-flash-twrp-t3792643
I've been using the "mauronofrio twrp" but I'm sure that the last twrp version on the official website will work properly.

So I have been trying to figure out a solution to my issue but I figured that I would bring it together in a single post.
I have a 2.20 HOX with TWRP installed. I am rooted. I am wanting to install the 4.1 OTA update but whenever it goes to reboot into recovery it goes into TWRP and does nothing.
Now, I have found directions from people installing the OTA with TWRP installed but I am not wanting to do a complete wipe. I am wanting to only upgrade and keep what I have on my phone.
My question is simple:
Is there any way that I can do that with having TWRP installed or is my only option to do a clean install?
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks will be given!

But in a noobie's honest opinion, its not worth the effort for the OTA , there are better custom roms in the forums here for the HOX than what you get from the update.
I tried all day yesterday then a dev helped me with the answer, you can't OTA update with TWRP installed
use this post in the link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2181849&page=2
Redpoint73 gave me the right answer to get it done
"""It should be like this:
1) RUU to stock 2.20
2) Download and install OTA
3) Unlock bootloader
4) Install TWRP
5) For root: using TWRP, flash SuperSU
Steps 2 and 3 might be interchangeable""".
I have been trying a long time to get the most mileage out of the TL00 that I bought from mainland earlier this year. I looked everywhere for the option to upgrade to Lollilop but everywhere I saw there were only updates available for TL09 or TL10 models. Finally, I was able to see that there was an update available which was compatible for both TL00 and TL10 models here:
http://www.carbontesla.com/2015/10/download-ascend-mate-7-b351-lollipop-firmware/
Note that my phone is already rooted so whenever I follow their directions to do a local upgrade through the system menu or forced upgrade through the hardware keys, it takes me back to CWM recovery where I am unable to do the upgrade. I have a feeling I have to first un-root the device back to stock and then follow the upgrade procedure. Please advise. Also, instructions on unrooting would be appreciated as well.
Thanks in advance

No need to unroot. You just need to replace CWM with the stock recovery - you cant do updates with CWM. Search this forum for the download link for the zip file of your current firmware, and use the HuaweiExtractor app to extract the recovery.img file, then flash it using ADB. Then you should be able to do a local update of the b351 firmware. After this you will be un-rooted again, although your bootloader will still be unlocked. You then just need to follow the same steps as before to re-root your phone (in my case, I just re-flashed CWM/TWRP, flashed SuperSU and installed SuperSU via PlayStore).

and he can do that all with unlocked device?
Success! Used the recovery tool from this thread to install stock recovery:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/mate-7/orig-development/tool-android-4-4-5-1-pc-t3186984
Then was able to do the local update. Now onto rooting 5.1 and enjoying other things Thanks for your input!
So I'm having an issue with updating my phone.
I have tried reading all of the threads, but so many things are still a mystery and are confusing. I haven't been able to get a full understanding of all of this.
I have a LG G5 H830 10a T-Mobile variant.
I am running Android 6.0.1
I have a custom recovery of TWRP
My phone is rooted with SuperSU also.
All I want to do, is to update my phone to Nougat. What is the process I have to go through? After reading all about it, here is my assumption:
I download Flashfire and use DisableService to disable my root and SuperSu, then I run the OTA Nougat update...
That didn't work. I got an error from TWRP that said:
"unable to flash update.zip from cache/update.zip, update is meant for "h1" device, your device is an H830"
Or something along those lines.
I have a Nandroid backup, so I'm not worried if I brick or soft brick it.
Any help please?
Thanks!

You're not going to be able to update to Android N yet if you want to keep twrp and root. Only way to do it currently is if you have 100% stock phone and update via ota or using the zip file that was posted. If you don't care about root or twrp, update to 10j using the complete zip that autoprime posted and don't install SuperSU or dm-verity and let boot. You will have 100% stock and can take ota or use zip method. *** There is no current way to get root or twrp for t mobile version once on official android N yet *** So if root and twrp are important just wait until autoprime gets a chance to upload the flashable zip files for N to flash in twrp. You could also use cm or cm based Roms if you want android N, plus those are 7.1 stock is only 7.0, but if you want stock rooted just have to wait until it's released.

Ohh okay, perfect thank you!
With that in mind, I had another question..
I have an LG V20 as well.
One thing I was thinking of doing was the following:
Unlocking the bootloader, putting a custom recovery like TWRP on it.
Make a Nandroid backup.
Then root it, and then go about my business. If something like this happens again and I want to update, I can simply do a Titanium Backup go to my Nandroid backup, restore it. Then update OTA, then reroot, run titanium backup restore, and then I'll be back where I left off.
will that work?
And one last question:
How would I go back to factory settings on my LG G5?

I'm not 100% sure but I don't think that would work as once you install twrp it modifies the recovery. IMG which would cause ota to fail. But on the other hand, you could most likely do the same method as the g5 to go back to official and take ota. Flashing the complete zip (if those are being created for the v20, haven't checked that thread as I don't own that device) and not re-installing the dm-verity or SuperSU will always reinstall the original boot.img and recovery.img and be 100% official stock. Hope this helps.

That helps a ton.

Here's the link to chainfires thread which will always have the latest beta supersu versions:

Hello guys,
long story short, I had the notification that a new update was released for my honor 8 FRD-L09C432 (B403, I was on B402), so, since I was rooted and with TWRP installed, I decided to unroot and install the original eRecovery.
Something went wrong and the system was damaged, so I flashed the B360 version first and after the B394. Now the phone is working really good but I can't install the new versions (B402 or 403). I tried:
flash the update from TWRP, not working
search the update from the dedicated option in the settings, no update found
tried to have it from the original eRecovery, error to find the info from the server.
tried also to update from the version B394 before unlock the bootloader, but it failed.
Am I missing something?
Use the get update through DNS thing in FF. It worked for me at least. Make sure the firmware is approved.

Hi Days Tech, could you please explain better what do you mean? Is there a link of some tut that I can follow?
Thanks!
Ok now I have the point, thanks for this tip!:good:
Flash TWRP.
use data.zip file and flash it via TWRP. (only download from FullOTA-MF PV file)
reboot and you are done. you will have updater in settings.
now you can flash the update.zip file via dload.

Hello,
I have a Honor 8 FRD-L09 8.0.0.521 (C432), I rooted it on previous version, but I don't remenber exactly why but I was blockedat TWRP step, so I could'nt root.
Now it's a stock unroot.
I would like to updated to latest firmware possible, root with magisk and reinstall everything back the easiest possible.
What is the latest version I could install?
I am a bit rusty, Is there a good tutorial around?
Thanks
just boot up twrp and flash the latest magisk zip, if you dont have the magisk manager installed after that just download it from the same thread and install it.
if you cant flash twrp to your device, make sure your bootloader is unlocked and try again
Ok thanks, usual procedure, I will try it, and come back here's, thanks
