New User - Problem with Update after rooting

I'm sorry for having to post here, I'm a new XDA member and I've just started using my tablet and found out I can't post in the dev section. I'm not sure how else to get help and a previous boyfriend told me the xda-developers community was a great place so I thought I would try here.
I have the Nexus 7 (2013 edition) and I used WUG's method of rooting - everything went perfectly, but now I'm getting a notification that there is an update (an OTA update - I think that's what they are called?) and it doesn't apply. I'm not sure if I should have, but I did the bootloader unlock and installed a new recovery (TWRP - I think that's how it's spelled?. sorry again)...
Anyway.... At this point my tablet is working great, but I constantly see this notification for an update and I'm not sure what to do.. It says "touch to install" and I've done that but it just boots into my new recovery. If anybody has access to WUG in the dev forum, could you please ask him what I should do?
Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Do you have the WiFi only version or the LTE version? Also, under your settings -> about phone, what build number are you currently on? Since you have rooted and installed a custom recovery, OTA updates will not install correctly. You have a couple of options in this regards, and I or someone will go over them once we figure out what version you are running.

Thanks for that:
Here's what you can do to install the update.
1) go to this thread and download either the odexed or deodexed version.
2) Reboot to recovery
3) Wipe Cache/Dalvik Cache
4) Flash the .zip file you just downloaded
5) Reboot your updated tablet.
OR
You can read here and try this.

Oh railed, thankyou so much - I was not sure if I would be able to get any more updates. If I do that, will it delete everything on my tablet? It did that when I did the change to an unlocked bootloader, and I had to reload everything.

All your data will be preserved. Only Wipe the Cache/Dalvik Cache, not the Data. Before you install go to Wipe -> Advance -> Check only Cache and Dalvik Cache.
Typically when an update comes out, someone will post a flashable update within a couple of hours so we can install them as well. Hope it helps.
Edit: As always before flashing anything, make a backup, by rebooting into recovery and selecting Backup (i check all the boxes).

Also.... If I just load the latest cyanogenmod on it, will that take care of it. I have the same old phone from my previous boyfriend and it's running cyanogenmod.. It will update the OS whenever a new version comes out and I don't lose the data like I did with the unlock bootloader thing?

I believe so, Cyanogenmod usually merges the updates pretty quickly into the code and you won't get any update notifications from Google directly any more. There are only nightly releases so far for this device if you feel like going that route.

Thank You! Very Much!!!
Do you think I should go the cyanogenmod route?
I've really liked cyanogenmod on the phone on barnes&noble device they are on, but I've been scared to update this tablet since we've broken up and I don't have anybody that can help.

That's completely up to you and what you prefer... I like the stock android experience so far, but there are many options out there for custom ROMs besides CM. Take a look here and here and figure out if a ROM in there has something you want... the great thing about this is if you don't like it, flash something else until you find exactly what you like... that's how I plan to do it, once the ROMs get more stable with the 4.3 updates.

I use deodexed, as do a lot of people who like to customize. There's not a lot of difference between the two. Here is an article that explains it pretty well: Odexed vs Deodexed

S4 MF3 Firmware

I know i cannot install recovery and custom rom on this baseband yet, so my question is. Is it possible to root , and then install titanium to remove the bloats ? will doing this damage my phone when i want to factory reset it later ? . thank you

You can root. But do not delete the bloat. Only freeze with Titanium Backup

Depends on which apps your freezing/considering bloat. Its probably safer to unfreeze first before you reset in the event you accidentally freeze something that is required for the phone to function properly. Heres a list, BUT I didnt see which firmware they were using.

If you root on MF3 then your stock recovery will be corrupted. Factory reset through the phone will not work and make your phone in bootloop. There is no ODIN/factory reset at this time. So please be careful
Your best bet if you want to root is to carefully know what you're doing.
As for your other question if it's possible. Yes, it is possible to root but read above as I have warned you. Since you can root on MF3, you will also be able to install titanium backup to freeze the bloats. Do not remove/uninstall ANY of the bloats in case something goes wrong.
If you choose to unroot later: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=45340743#post45340743
Good luck

Phewww..i followed the link and got the phone unrooted. So i guess i can factory restore now ? correct ? haha thanks

I unrooted my S4 before sending it back for a warranty exchange. I factory reset it and it worked fine.

I have been using CM as my OS since around the first stable release. I am now on 10.2 JB 4.2.2 Yet when I go in and look at my About Phone it says MF3. I have installed root for about a week and all was well and working with CWM (corrected) recovery. I even upgrade to a later version (corrected). Then some app (I can't remember which unfortunately) put on a different recovery with tiny letters - the purpose of which so it can script a full install so I didn't have to do it every step myself. When it installed it, I encountered the horrific blue letters of "Booting Recovery..." and it will not get past that.
I can't load any other recovery no matter what method tried, and I have tried many, and many different recoveries. I think I found out after installing the apk from the verizon section SAFESTRAP program some things. First there appears to no way to delete the cache partition. Both the cache and the recovery partitions can be empty. The recovery partition is not always empty but usually that is the case.
I have the sinking feeling I am the victim of what you said at first "If you root on MF3 then your stock recovery will be corrupted." But I dont see how this is possible considering I had CM 10.2 4.2.2 (corrected) when root was installed. But my symptoms fit what you have said above. Can you explain a lot more about what this is about and and details inside the phone as to what is known so far? I have a MS in CS so I have a good background, even though I am very limited on what I can do on computers today. Details!
I am willing to do most anything to get back to a starting point.

How to install Cyanogenmod?

Very confused about the process of installing Cyangenmod on my phone. How do I install the unlocked firmware?

You may just want to wait if you are asking these questions. CM is still in alpha stages anyways, not everything is working for it to be a daily driver imo.

CM is definitely outta alpha stages

That is because you cannot do it that way which is why you bootlooped. The CM threads speak of this numerous times. You need to RUU the US developer, then FLASH a Sprint variant ROM (like Bad Boys), then wipe and install CM which will work. The other option is to just use the developer edition with SuperCID/MID and then CM will work without flashing back to Sprint ROM's. I would go with the first option as you will gain better LTE as you wont be on Sprint's "global" connections.

PM me
Sent from my HTC 10 using XDA-Developers mobile app

Such a shame this thread went to PM. It seems like it would have been good basic information for experienced flashers whom are new to the HTC world. I came from the Galaxy S5 (SM-900R7 nTelos variant), and had been testing out LineageOS 14.1 on it (as an update to CM13, which I was building myself). This thread would have been helpful to help flash the HTC10 version. Still learning it. Quite different from the Samsungs, for sure!

would someone mind either posting in the thread or PM me back with a link or guide, step by step how to install Cyanogenmod. I have rooted a few Samsung phones before, but once I have them rooted and running stable I usually leave them alone...point being I have not rooted a phone in two years....
I'll be getting my HTC 10 Sprint phone tomorrow, so I would love a full step by step how to root, install twrp and finally how to install the ROM...BTW I used to run a ROM called liquid smooth....does that ROM still exists?
Is Cyanogenmod the best most stable ROM for the HTC 10 Sprint?

Im going to help the community as much as i can lol i'm going to start a separate thread on how to install Lineage sometime this weekend when i have time ..mind you this is my first time starting one so bare with me.

I can't seem to find the instructional thread..? I've been rooting & flashing HTC phones since the HTC 4G LTE, but this thing is a different beast entirely. I've unlocked via HTC Dev, installed unofficial TWRP 3.0.3-9, flashed the custom SU, & installed Viper (did all that from stock N). Viper is definitely super solid, but I've always preferred the CM/AOSP platform. I've wiped the internal like I've done a thousand times & flashed Lineage + gapps (arm64). the phone boots & gets to the lineage boot animation & sits there indefinitely. I let it sit for almost an hour, & obviously it wasn't going to boot.
What am I missing, guys? Any & all help will be greatly appreciated.

any ideas?

They dont have any roms built for the CDMA 10, notice there are no CM or AOSP roms in the SPrint htc 10 rom section. It probably didn't boot completely cause of a kernel mismatch.

there are people in the LOS thread saying they're on Sprint running it. I just can't follow their methods, which is why I was hoping for a tut.

Correct. You must be S-Off to do this. Put the .zip file, named 2PS6IMG.zip, on the root of your ext sd card, reboot to bootloader and flash it. After successfully flashing that file, you'll be able to run AOSP without issue. Like you said, download and flash. Enjoy! ?

I am seeing two different instruction steps in the posts and just want to be sure i got this right. Do we flash the sd card zip before or after flashing an AOSP rom and gapps? Also, is there any particular aosp rom that works best for this method?

[SM-J327P ROM BASE] QI2 Firmware Deknoxed and Deodexed

Like I have mentioned to the others in the J3 Emerge community, I had this done just didn't have the opportunity to upload it until today. This is a Deknoxed and Deodexed base for custom ROMs for users who are currently on the QI2 stock firmware. And since I did nothing but remove the odexes(including the one on the boot img iirc which is why it comes up with the typical custom kernel message on bootup) and removed Knox, I'm not posting this as a DevDB thread as Samsung did all the heavy lifting so to speak.
[url]https://androidfilehost.com/?fid=745849072291691412[/URL]
And yes, this can be flashed as is but as always, you do so at your own risk. I will not replace your device and neither will Boost Mobile nor Samsung in the event of data loss, corruption, theft, fire, pod people, etc.
Please do not mirror this zip without express permission from me.

I believe this COULD be used on VMUS and SPRINT as well, but because I do not have the Emerge from those carriers. Also, from what I see it can only be rooted using SuperSU in Systemless mode or Magisk.

If you're not on QI2 when you flash this, it won't work. No idea how to fix it unless you use the QI2 ODIN package to "upgrade" which is found on AFH under the user the_yankee, iirc. Not at pc so can't verify this. Have stuff to do rn so can't get on one.

Thanks! that's exactly what i was missing, I guess i was using a different version before, flashing the QI2 first did the trick.

I think I will put together a set of zips that can be used to get any of the three we are all on,working on the various versions. All a user will need to do is pick their carrier and flash it in TWRP after first boot that way the system writes the csc directory. I will post you all a link when I get them built. They are sorely needed and long over due.

help me understand please
please help me. i used the A|1 sprint Rom and soft bricked my phone and stuck in complete boot loop. it goes as far as recovery screen in TWRP and reboots. i have tried to download official Rom from your links through google drive but for whatever reason they wont download.
please help me i just need an official J327P ROM. Odin keeps getting stuck on "setup Connection"

worked for my sm-j320p boost thank you

bro, what part of the Q 12 stock did you flash in odin? im guessing the bootloader but it keeps failing on me and i'm just a bit confused on the stock Q12 i downloaded i got 5 slots last 2
look like sprint packages to me so hopefully someone can clue me in on which slots are needed to so my wifi will work please! thanks in advance

Thanks! that's exactly what i was missing, I guess i was using a different version before, flashing the QI2 first did the trick.

is it possible to uninstall this rom?

How to flash to another custom kernel.

I'm using a custom kernel on my rooted device and want to try out another. Do I need to flash back to the stock kernel before flashing to the other kernel or I can just flash it on top of my custom kernel?
If I have to flash back to stock kernel is there a place I could download the stock kernel?
Using EXKM and rom is 10.5.8.IN11AA
Sorry for the noob question I am completely new to this.

Although you can get by prolly by flashing another, I've always gone by flashing stock, and THEN the new kernel, and what I recommend. Believe others would do. As far as the stock kernel, I wanna say there's a thread somewhere that has them posted, but you may have to search.

I did try to search but I read a lot of people try to extract it from the stock rom or something like that. I'm not sure how to do that though.
If somebody could post a link on the stock kernel file that would be great

Go here, download the 10.5.8 2023 BA variant for your device, confirm hash. Go to settings, syatem updates, cog wheel, local upgrade, select package. I THINK it'll let you flash it like an upgrade, but don't quote me, I am not to familiar with the device yet, or oneplus in general. Just flash magisk to other boot slot after if it says your device will no longer be rooted stuff, you know. The typical.
I'ma go to bed, but if that doesn't work, you can see about opening the .zip up, extract the payload and search google for a method that'll extract the kernel for you. Best of luck.
Oh, and in case it wasn't reiterated, back up persist partition too. Just in case, always. In case it wasn't obvious.

Is there a specific reason that I would flash to BA not AA?
So I would lose root and have to reinstall magisk is that correct?
PS I also have nolimit rom installed.

My apologies, I thought I saw you said IN11BA, not IN11AA. Do the AA. Caught me right before I fell asleep. But putting phone on charger. Good night.

And magisk.... Open magisk up and flash to other slot after you do the system update. Tada. Recommended to disable modules first.

If mine is the Chinese version which was flashed to global rom, will it be stuck in bootloop again if I update it from OTA again?
It was stuck the first time round and I had to wipe cache and setting.

It SHOULDN'T but I also provide no guarantee, as not specifically certain. But I do highly doubt it would be stuck in bootloop again, it's just the first time around.

Ok I'll give it shot. Really appreciate your help!
Btw do you have any kernel you recommend for battery life.Using ElementalX at the moment but don't see much difference between stock.

Using elementalX myself atm. Although I'm always interested in what others bring, too.
