You may have luck like a family member of mine and be happy.
Or you may not have luck.
A fullwipe on 10 is recommended.

No problem for me,delayed touch was fixed
Delayed touch is still there on the .618 atleast for me.
Interested too, any obvious reason to go to 10?
I'm quite happy with 52.0.A.11.3

Yes
The existenz thread contains the needed firmware version
And exactly this need to get flashed
.672 has no working twrp atm
but the previous firmware has
So if existence may want the .672, then you may need to wait for the next twrp update
anyone have firmware xz2dual H8266 52.1.A.0.618 ftf zip or tar.gz

Hi everyone,
I know I am going to sound very annoying but I have googled various threads for hours and I still have not come close to an answer, so please be easy on me. I am a total noob!
So basically, Long story short, I bought this Moto G 2015 (4th Gen - Xt1072 the 5inch screen one) earlier this year, and it has been very slow ever since! So now, I am getting notifications that I cant update to 5.1!
The issue is, my phone is rooted, and I would like it to remain rooted! So, I am assuming i will not be able to install the update file.
The real question I have is, how do I go about this? How do i update to 5.1 (22.46.12.en.GB) without losing my root? I am happy with backing it all up on Titanium, and then updating but I don't know how to do it. Do I have to download the new android on my laptop and then re-install it or something? All this technical talk is literally racking my brain!
I know the solution is probably simple so I would really appreciate if someone can give me a simple answer!
Thanks so much

U can flash cm12.1 or can update your device then just root it back.
I doubt its a fourth gen, when the latest is 3rd.
Why can't you unroot, update, then reroot?

To be honest, I don't know. It's the 5 inch one, single sim if that's any help?
And how do I unroot? and where do I find the update film.
I promise you, I don't know if its cos im dumb or what, but I have been researching this all day! I don't know what to do!
You can follow this link for a tool to restore back to stock firmware. This will wipe your phone. http://forum.xda-developers.com/mot...dows-tool-moto-g-2015-xt1072-restore-t3124915
Then update after that and root again.
I don't know much about removing root, I would look up how you did it then search for removing it. What did you use? Supersu?

Yes, it will reflash your phone to how it was when out the factory. Then update, then install supersu same as you did before.
Cm12.1 is pre rooted rom and stock rom i think u know what it is.

Hey guys,
So I'm running a stock S7 (AT&T) and have read tons of threads about how to fix battery drain, etc etc. And I'm not finding any great result.
I've tried different debloats and dumbing down lots of system settings, but haven't found that sweet spot yet. I know disabling some things can end up causing further drain, so maybe I'm doing it wrong.
Has there been any definitive solution to fixing the Android System drain? Mine is constantly 30% or more drain at the end of the day.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

API2 has an updated bootloader. You can't downgrade to any other version of the AT&T firmware unless it's Bootloader 4... This is what I meant when I said "You can't go back."

then use this http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...-to-notes-root-install-xposed-unroot-t3411039 to go back to stock
Do exactly as its in this but change AP , CP and CSC as per new downloaded file .
You will be then on unrooted API2 but it has Android system battery drain

Ah, alright. Thanks a lot, man. I'll do this when I get home. I keep getting pesky update requests!
I read everything over and i see what you're talking about. Download and flash all updates besides the BL which is the bootloader... But I'm trying to get away from the battery drain. Should I flash a previous firmware instead of the current for better battery life?
Also, what's the big benefit of having an older bootloader? So you can upgrade and downgrade at will?
Hey all,
I'm currently on 7.1.2, stock with Chainfire's SU. Everything works perfectly aside from the random double text. I was wondering if I should update to Android O. Is the update worth it? And if the answer is yes, should I switch to magisk su?

Yes and yes. No issues with either.
I do suggest to read the OP for Magisk. There are some differences between Magisk and SuperSU.
However, it's up to you.

Neat. I may do that tonight. One more question, I know the pixel is a bit funky with it's A\B setup. Would I be able to downgrade if for some bizarre reason I don't like O?

Just flash/install the factory image you want.
You can downgrade? I updated to the first version of O to come out and didn't like it (buggy). I had to wait for the bug fix cause downgrade didn't work for me....

If you are unlocked you can. But dropping down from 8.x to 7.x will require a data wipe.
Close thread
Is this a downgrade? Bc my screenshot is from just now and it's the unlocked us variant running the same build it shipped with but has had an update waiting to be installed for about a week. And my number Is higher than yours.
BEWARE!! Thats a new boot loader... v2! you wont be able to do a full factory restore until a v2 bootloader odin file is released.
That being said, how do you like it? any differences?

You will probably be waiting quite awhile.... As I stated in my thread, little to NO devs are working on root for the s9/+... I've seen one Korean user mention he was trying in another forum for us SD users, and ONE other guy... That's it, just 2 people and myself. Don't expect anything before Christmas.
The only member (SAMFail creaters) i know working on ROOT doesnt have the device but has a tester... Its gonna be a while...
Dude, dont post these. I roasted you enough on reddit. The basics, these are bad updates to use unless I can verify them before. Bl updates are dangerous. Also just dont use them dude, the website could be shut down any day because of people like you.

Why are these bad updates?
These updates from sam firm science allowed a lot of us to get onto oreo beta. If you know how to recover your phone why is this a problem. OP explained the risk with the bootloader.

Because NEVER do bl updates. Btw check my post history, I did Note8 Oreo. Also I work with the dude who makes the site. I know this stuff. That's why I am saying it's a bad idea.

Actually, cancel that, he is no longer trying root methods SAMFail has been PATCHED! So, it gonna be even longer until ROOT....
I may just go to international S9+ if there root seems like a false hope on the SD variant. The only issue would be VoLTE and WiFi calling, oh and Samsung suddenly restricting call recording apps on international variant. I tried flashing those Engboot from other thread with no luck btw.

Since it was published as an OTA, i would advise you to stay calm for now. Sometimes excitement kills you at the end of the day. That's what i experienced before. Being so excited with the update, am I'm busted with bugs and bloatware like hell. While others who running the patch & installed after few weeks gap from mine is having a good life afterwards.
