Hi there!
I have a Nexus 7 (2012) with Xposed, Busybox, MultiROM and root installed with a custom recovery and a modded build.prop. When I try to install the update.zip with TWRP, it fails. So I uninstalled busybox and Xposed, and it still fails. So, I restored build.prop and it still fails! The MultiROM is just a modded recovery, kernel and boot.IMG which shouldn't affect the process as far as I'm aware.
I want to update it from 4.4 to 4.4.2, I just can't get it to work.
Any help will be appreciated!
Thanks,

when in twrp (make sure it is most current) be sure to check mounts are not checked. uncheck all of them if you want to. you can also try rebooting to bootloader from twrp and them directly into recovery from there.

So, against my better judgment, I installed the newest OTA update. I was running rooted 4.4 stock. I unrooted via the SuperSU options and installed the OTA to 4.4.2. Then I booted in recovery mode, loaded TWRP from a command prompt, and flashed SuperSU 1.80. Flash successful. BUT, then I rebooted the phone and it gave me the "Upgrading Android" notification again, just like it did when I first installed the OTA update. Then--no root. I'm assuming that it is undoing my root as soon as I reboot the phone. I tried re-flashing SuperSU and clearing the cache/dalvik before rebooting, but same result.
Help? Ideas? Alternatively, is there any decent firewall out there that doesn't require root, since that's all I need it for?
Hey guys, I tried looking for the answer to this but couldn't find any info.
I'm currently on rooted, stock 4.4, stock kernel with XPOSED installed. I want to update to 4.4.2 without losing data.
I don't want to re-root using a computer method such as one click install since it does not work on my computer. What are my options?

The other I can see is with custom recovery.
Procedure:
Flash custom recovery like CWM or TWRP if you don't have,
Download OTA 4.4.1, 4.4.2 zip and SuperSU 1.8 zip
Disable Xposed
Boot into recovery
Install 4.4.1 OTA zip then 4.4.2 OTA zip
Install SuperSU zip
Reboot your phone
Enable Xposed
Hello,
Anyone could help me with this problem:-
I have already rooted my Note 2 N7100 with Omni 4.4.2 Nightly but somehow, on software update, with an update available after checking it, I was unable to flash it successfully. There was an error. I have checked SuperSU as to install SuperSu backup script as I believe it would help me to do update on the current build but I could not do that as it requires installing SuperSu into/system (converting into a system app) first but when I have tried to install and later rebooted my device, it was still the same. On Custom Rom, I could not install supersu backup script and when trying to flash update (after checking it and update is available, it was again not successful.
Any advice?

Flash SuperSU in recovery and then you should be able to install the backup script.
Good morning, I wanted to know if I can upgrade to Android 7.1.2 beta with root and custom recovery installed. Do I have to remove them before upgrading or the upgrade will remove them automatically ? Will my device even boot if I update with root and custom recovery?
Thanks
Nope. Cant with custom recovery..

Your phone will boot loop if you don't go back to stock recovery first. I tried just to see what would happen and that's what happened. People who tried to flash it with Flashify reported no success.

Stock ROM? Important information you omitted. From a guy who always runs the latest stock ROM rooted and custom recovery here's how you do it: You do not have to remove them first, and although they (SU & kernel) will be overwritten with the new boot.img, it is very easy and straightforward. You need the TWRP flashable (beta) OTA zip file, in the OP here. Put the latest SU and your custom kernel on the device root, or wherever. (should already be there) and then reboot to TWRP recovery. Select "Install" and then select the OTA you downloaded above, and tap "Add more zips". Next you want to add the latest SU zip (2.79 SR3) and last add your kernel. Mine is EX. Once you have queued all 3 zips, in less than a minute you will be back up and running 7.1.2 , rooted and with kernel. Even if you flash each file individually you will still be ok. (OTA, SU, Kernel). See the same thread further down... Credit for the TWRP flashable OTA goes to @Displax.
Hi there! I'm having issues to update OTA, this is my scenario:
Phone came with Android 8.0.0 Oreo (OPR1.170623.026.V9.5.9.0.ODHMIFA) so I did the following
1. Installed TRWP, then Magisk.
2. Installed Xposed (systemless) (Magisk Module)
3. Profit.
All good till here, the problem came when I tried to do the May OTA, it gives me the "Installation Problem" in the first step. I have read over the forum but I cant decide what to do. First I tried the " Uninstall -> Restore Image" in Magisk, but FAILED, and then:
1. Uninstalled Xposed Module.
2. Via TRWP uninstalled Magisk.
3. Update Failed.
Root Check says I'm rootless
Xposed Installer says "Xposed Framework is not installed". But OTA still fails.
So by now I'm thinking that maybe I have to flash stock system image, but not sure about this, actually NOT SURE WHAT TO DO, I just want to be able to have root and Xposed systemless, and then when an OTA arrives uninstall everything, do the update, reinstall Root/Xposed, and be happy.
Any guidance for me? Will I be OK if I flash JUST and ONLY the system image (OPR1.170623.026.V9.5.9.0.ODHMIFA)? Or do I have to flash ALL the stock images? What are the best option for me right now? Basically I'm trying to avoid reinstall all the apps and customization already done.
TL,DR:
Installed root/Xposed.
Uninstalled following different options.
Tried to do OTA, failed.
Not sure what to do now, I want to do OTAs and have root/Xposed.
Thinking into flash stock system image.
Thanks in advance!
