[Q] Can I safely update my rooted N10 to 4.3 - Nexus 10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have a rooted N10 (was rooted by previous owner). Can you advise me if I can safely update it to 4.3 ?

Yes you can.
You can do this by OTA ... but you will get stock system (no root included).
You can still root your system using one of the methods shown on XDA forum.

Thanks for the reply, if I root after updating to 4.3 will I retain my data/settings?

Yes You will keep your data
My preferable tool for Nexus 10 is in this thread => Wug's Nexus Root Toolkit

also install a custom recovery like TWRP or CWM, they are very useful if you want to try custom ROMs or backup

I had mine rooted when I updated and had no issues. I'll share how I did it:
I downloaded the factory images from Google Developer
Made a Titanium Backup of my apps
Installed a custom recovery
Performed a Factory Reset
Flashed bootloader with fastboot
Rebooted in bootloader
Flashed system, boot and cache with fastboot
Rebooted
Configured my Google account
Rooted using Chainfire latest SuperSU (https://plus.google.com/113517319477420052449/posts/GjbpgDdF6Fq)
Installed Titanium Backup
Recovered my apps
Hope this works for you . Android 4.3 is quite amazing

[Q] Upgrading to 4.2.2 and rooting

Nexus 10 with 4.2.1.
I unlocked and rooted using Wug's Nexus Root Toolkit v1.6.2.
I hear that 4.2.2. ug is coming soon. Questions are:
Will upgrading to 4.2.2 unroot the device and if so, will Root Toolkit 1.6.2 root it again or will I have to wait for the upgrade to the toolkit.
Thanks.

I had the exact same situation and question as you except asked it in the Nexus 7 thread. Like you I used wugfresh toolkit to unlocked & rooted v4.2.1. Then today I downloaded & installed v4.2.2 using the quickboots recovery app that wugfresh installed. After that, I lost root. I took a chance and just used wugfresh toolkit configured still for v4.2.1 (since it currently has no choice for the newer v4.2.2 yet.) and rooted my Nexus 7 again. It worked and rerooted v4.2.2.

Thanks for the input. To be on the safe side, I installed OTA root keeper. I will try installing 4.2.2 this weekend and see what happens
I flashed it yesterday.
Restored my stock 4.2.1 Nandroid.
Used OTA Rootkeeper to backup su.
flashed the zip file in TWRP without renaming or anything. Didn't wipe anything either.
Once it completed I restored root with OTA Rootkeeper.
Reflashed TWRP with Goo Manager app once booted because you will loose TWRP recovery while flashing the zip!
and done... no issues so far.

I used Wug's toolkit 1.6.2.
First I copied the 4.2.2 OTA zip file to the Nexus 10
Ran the toolkit and told it to boot into temporary custom recovery
Install the zip file
cleared Cache and Dalvik
Rebooted.
Never lost root except for Titanium Backup but another reboot cleared that up.

Keep Root or Re-Root 4.3 - SOLVED

UPDATE - I discovered a Nexus 4 thread, followed the direction (changing as needed for the N7) and voila it worked
I created a step-by-step tutorial to keep ALL data going from 4.2.2 root > 4.3 root
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2390286
Unlocked Bootloader and Rooted. From what I've read I can't keep root (as of now). So what is the easiest way to keep all my data and move over to Rooted 4.3? Step-by-step would be helpful....
Thanks.
The easiest way if you have stock recovery is to revert any system changes you've made (in my case remove the AOSP browser from system apps), accept the OTA update, and once it's up and running, boot into twrp without permanently flashing (which you can do with mskips toolkit) and flash the updated 1.51 supersu zip. Then go to the play store and activate the supersu app.

Worked like a charm!! Thank you very much!! Super quick/easy! Already did the OTA update and thought it would be a pain in the ass to fix, but no problem.

I have the same situation here, but I'm not familiar with the procedure.
"boot into twrp without permanently flashing (which you can do with mskips toolkit) and flash the updated 1.51 supersu zip."
could you explain that step by step please?
I install the toolkit - which point to I have to use? and wat is twrp?
What do I have to do, to flash the 1.51 supesu.zip?
Big thanks in advance

Is it not easier to simply use Chainfires CF Auto-Root? A couple of clicks in windows and it's done.
Does Chainfires CF Auto-Root only root not make any changes? I don't want to have to reset the rom back to factory or reinstall all of the apps. If Chainfires CF Auto-Root does just root, cool.
With Mskip's toolkit how do you root? There is no choice for 4.3, just 4.2.2.
Unless I've missed something when installing the OTA using clockwork recovery it asked if I wanted to stop a stock recovery from being reinstalled and if I wanted to keep root. This just seemed to work and gave me 4.3 with custom recovery and root - nothing else needed.

I'd like my hand held too, please. Or at least link to instructions. Thanks.
If anyone wants to actually make a 1,2,3,etc direction list, many people would be grateful.

1. I'm not sure if I have any system changes? Is there an easy way to tell?
2. Running OTA update will only remove Root, not unlocked Bootloader or Custom Recovery (CWM/TWRP)?
Am I following this right? Supposing I have removed any system changes i do the following:
1. Accept OTA
2. After update boot into recovery (Vol Down + Power) --- CWM in my case
3. Flash the 1.51 SuperSU Zip
4. DONE? I'm rooted?

Nexus 4 stuck need root and recovery

Hi, recently I updated my rooted nexus 4 to 4.4.4 jellybean, which then unrooted it. I still have SuperSU installed, but once I try to run any root apps, it says I am not rooted. Looking around, I need to reroot the device, but my custom recovery TWRP has been uninstalled. I tried to install twrp with GooManager but it wouldn't download. The best option seems to be to reroot the device, but I cannot make a nan droid backup as no recovery installed. I have one but its fairly old, and I will lose a lot of data. What I need is a way to install custom recovery but I'm not rooted :/
You know this is the nexus 10 forum right?
What you need to do is flash a recovery via fastboot and then reroot.

Stock rooted Lollipop with TWRP - Is this the best method to upgrade to MM?

There are a few threads that deal with upgrading lollipop to marshmallow, but they seem to raise as many questions as they answer - mainly since they were usually written before rooted images were distributed.
Basically, I am on an unlocked, rooted stock XT1575 with TWRP 2.8.7.0. It sounds like it's less efficient and has lots of potential problems to go back to stock, unroot, install OTA, do new system root, and re-add TWRP.
Instead, it sounds like the simplest method to get to stock rooted MM, with least steps and potential problems, should be this:
Update TWRP to 2.8.7.1 using IMG file here from within TWRP Recovery (TWRP Manager did not install it when I tried via Android proper - I was still at 2.8.7.0)
Do a full TWRP backup of my current Lollipop stock rooted installation (I assume this means I can restore without problems if the MM install goes awry)
*Optional: Use Titanium Backup to backup settings of important apps, and text messages/MMS.
In TWRP, Wipe->Swipe to Factory Reset
Transfer to phone and Flash via TWRP the stock rooted odexed ROM from this thread (not sure if there is a good argument for deodexed? I've never gotten a clear answer why one should be better, but would stick with odexed just because I believe it is "stock" so maybe less problems?)
Install SuperSU 2.62 from this thread by simply flashing it as normal in TWRP 2.8.7.1.
Reinstall all programs on initial setup. [*Optional: Reinstall via Titanium backup]
I assume if I do this I will: have marshmallow; have root; have working TWRP.
Does anyone see any obvious problems with this method? Thanks, I really appreciate any comments.
EDIT: Yes, I tried this method. It all worked, except I've added SuperSU installation steps that worked for me, since the "Stock Rooted" ROM is NOT actually rooted when I flash it. Also, used Titanium Backup successfully for some programs, so added that as an option.
Sorry to bump, but any response from someone with experience would be very helpful. I just want to make sure I don't have to go through the whole unroot/OTA/reinstall TWRP/reinstall root procedure that every thread says seems to cause problems...
Answered my own question - edited the main post to show the method used successfully.
Thank you for this answer thread. I was looking for the simplest answer for upgrading to MM without having to unroot and reflash everything. Looks like this is the easiest for now (I have having to reinstall everything, since some games I play to NOT react nicely to data being restored via titanium).
Have a brand new XT1575 with 5.1.1, Does the MM Update break root ability. I primarily want it for xposed, adaway. No ROMing
Should I update and then root? or root and then update?
I personally have found that following this method breaks root possibilities. MM is rooted, but when I got to the point of installing SuperSU via these steps, it broke EVERYTHING (settings stopped working, Motorola Services stopped working, etc).
I have to start from scratch again now.

[Simplified] [Root Method] [Titan] [Marshmallow 6.0] Without Modifying boot.img

Guys today I came here with a simplified rooting method for titan running marshmallow 6.0 that doesn't need boot.img modification
Note -You need to have bootloader unlocked and custom recovery like twrp installed on your device before proceeding
Unlock bootloader here
Flash the custom recovery of your choice using auto flash script included in separate attachment
1) Download and rename recovery file as recovery.img and put into the folder of auto flash script.
2) Reboot your device into bootloader mode and connect to PC using USB cable [You shold have latest motorola device manager installed and your device should indicate usb connected on bootloader screen]
3) Now open 'auto flash recovery script' folder and run auto_flash_recovery.bat file
4) Now custom recovery is installed on your device
Steps for rooting-
1. Download BETA-SuperSU-v2.62-3-20151211162651.zip and place it in root of your internal sd card (other supersu version does not work on titan running official marshmallow)
2. flash BETA-SuperSU-v2.62-3-20151211162651.zip using twrp recovery
3. wipe delvick cache and cache (optional)
4. reboot device
5. If you want to use stable super su version i.e. UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.65-20151226141550.zip or any version like any supersu beta except BETA-SuperSU-v2.62-3. download and flash it over BETA-SuperSU-v2.62 after rooting.
6. If you have previously rooted your MM running device using SuperSu-v2.52 with modified boot.img, You need to flash stock boot.img first and reboot then follow this guide (step 1-5)
#BETA-SuperSU-v2.62 will do all required modification by its own script automatically.
Note- Dnt flash any other supersu version or SuperSU-v2.65 alone on unrooted device. you will get bootloop. Do a backup of your rom before any rooting operation.
In case if u stuck on bootloop flash this update UnSu script via twrp, wipe delvick and cache and reboot. this script will remove any supersu file installed in your device thus fully unrooting ur device that will recover you from bootloop
Thank you! It's working!
Perfect, It's working!
Working,great

Where can we get the stock boot.img for Marshmallow?
If u r running stock mm, then ur boot.img is also stock.
i think it's not necessary to root again if i already rooted with modified boot image does that make any difference

Failed Root with XT1064 6.0
Everything ran smoothly installing the zip from TWRP, but on reboot: no SuperSU; no root. Now warnings or errors came up in the TWRP text during root.
MotoG 2014 XT1064
System: 24.41.34 titan_retuaws.retuaws.en.US retus
Kernel version 3.4.42-gef77327
TWRP-3.0.0-0-titan
Installed zip: BETA-SuperSU-v2.62-3-20151211162651.zip
Device is unlocked. Status Code 3
Update to 6.0 was with OTA after flashing the stock rom using XT1064_TITAN_RETUAWS_5.0.2_LXB22.99-24.12_cid9_CFC.xml.
The phone was previously 5.0.2 Rooted.
I did not lock the bootloader during the process.
The OTA to 6.0 went smoothly.
Followed the above instructions to the letter....
The only thing odd I did was uninstall the SuperSU App on the phone before flashing TWRP and starting this Root operation.
Has anyone gotten this to work on XT1064? Or any other root method on stock 6.0 and XT1064

This will work on all Moto devices running stock marshmallow.
Root Moto G2 running on Official 6.0 Android Marshmallow Without (modified boot image)
https://youtu.be/9_9vkJvzWcU
Every time i remove system apps it boot loop any work around for this in marshmallow.. In lollipop removing system apps can normally booted up without any problem..
I successfully rooted my stock marshmallow on XT1068. I had softbricked it previously by using a newer version os SuperSu (I hadn't located this post yet, so I didn't recover from it with you script. I reflashed stock).
So, many many thanks.
In the end, my successful steps were
- flashboot flash recovery twrp-3.0.2-0-titan.img
- reboot into recovery
- install BETA-SuperSU-v2.62-3-20151211162651.zip from TWRP
- wipe dalvik & cache
- reboot device

Work thanks
i Tried this on Xt1072 Moto G 2nd Gen 2014 LTE and had to use the UnSu first as per the instructions and for the reasons described in red. I was also stuck in bootloader with that horrible message that says your bootloader is now unlocked! Now the issue is I seem to be stuck on the Motorola hand stitched by peter crawley boot screen? I saw someone aske dhow long this lasts? I had to use an OTG usb flash drive to get my files on to the damn phone for some strange reason phone and pc having massive communication issues, not playing very nicely with each other????? wtf? anyway I got okays and successful messages when in TWRP 2.8.5.0 I just dont understand why there seems to be such a huge problem with getting this f"£$%^&*g phone sorted.
Nexus 5 rooted and flashed with the beautiful elemental x kernel, why cant we get elementalx for moto g? its absolute genius! now someone tel me what the hell is going on here, when will I ever have success with this damn phone? I hate bloat and it only has 8GB plus the sd card which is configured as internal storage, could this be what the problem is?
