I was wondering if i can do the 3.29 update if I am rooted? Or do i have to unroot to do the update.
I have to restore a stock recovery as the update wouldn't apply with ClockworkMod installed. I didn't have to change anything else though and I applied the update OTA (instead of using ClockworkMod to see if the update would work).
I'm rooted with the Unrevoked Forever method. After the update I just reapplied ClockworkMod, reinstalled the Super User application (which was prevented from running after the update of course), and all my root requiring applications were content.

I just got my N7 and will be rooting it. Should I do the OTA update first, then root? Or should I root, then install the update via CWM?
If I do OTA now, then root, will I be on 4.1.1 after the unlock and root?
just update then root, updating doesn't change how root works, and it is a lot easier to update via the OTA than than to flash via CWM

Thanks, updating now.
Yeah just update, then root and all should be good.
How can someone pull OTA if person has no root? or how can I download OTA while rooted on Android TV 5.0.2 and then someone snatch ? it says system up to date at first it would download but when I tried to install it just gave me error.
Hi, I have a european S8+ fully rooted and with TWRP.
Everything's working great so far but I read somewhere that I won't receive further OTA updates.
Can I install them manually with TWRP?
If yes, 3 questions:
1. Where can I get them?
2. Do I need every single update or are the newest update always containing the older updates as well?
3. Do I lose root or TWRP after installing an update?
I've rooted with Magisk by the way.
Typically if you're rooted and modified the system partition (BusyBox or twrp or whatever) the update will not install in stock recovery. Usually you have to unroot reinstall stock recovery and flash ota. There's toolkits out that can do that. Or you can just find an awesome rom like a rooted debloated rom thats just recently updated and just flash that. Or you can what till somebody snags the ota update location then posts that.
Hey guys,
My G5+, which is running NPN25.137-83, rooted with Magisk, TWRP, Xposed just prompted me for an OTA update.
I'm guessing if i try to update i'll (best case scenario) break something, worst case brick my phone.
I'm running Aug2017 security patch.
This OTA update says it includes Security updates till Nov2017 + Stability improvements.
Any suggestions? Thanks!

Do not apply the update, it will end up failing as you have TWRP installed, but every time you restart your phone, it will boot to TWRP and then you'll have to reboot from TWRP to bootloader and then system. Anyways, I recommend waiting until the OP of the TWRP flashable stock thread updates the links with that update and then flash the update via TWRP. Make sure you go into developer options and turn off automatic updates. You can also use an app to freeze Motorola update service if you don't want to be notified about the update.

Per the TWRP flashable stock thread guide, I downloaded the OTA and shared the zip there
Thanks @jeffsga88! I will disable automatic updates to avoid any accidents.
