Root on the new 5.1 OTA? - Moto X General

I really need my Viper EQ... But since there's no factory image available yet (or is there??) I don't want to do it yet

I use viper as well as several other root apps. I'm just going to wait until someone puts out a rooted TWRP flashable package.

why don't you go back to factory unrooted 4.4.4, apply the 5.1 OTA and then flash TWRP and SuperSu again?

Ota has not been pushed for the XT1060 yet

CWM recovery and OTA updates

I posted this in the Q &A forums, but no answers were gained. Maybe there's more visibility here.
Will the N10 by able to get and install OTA updates from Google if we're running the stock ROM/firmware with a custom recovery (CWM) ?

OTA updates require the stock recovery. However, it's usually only hours after an OTA is out that a dev will repackage the OTA to use with CWM.
Also you could probably get someone to post the actual update URL, and then maybe temp boot stock recovery and then sideload

Weird.. Never happen before

Huh?
Actually, you could install OTA updates using CWM or TWRP... but the OTA update may overwrite the recovery after a reboot...
And With bootloader unlocked, can i update by ota? Keep root updating by ota?
Now i have root and stock recovery
I flashed via cwm just fine. Root was maintained.

4.4.3 coming this week

Time to start prepping for an OTA. Memory serves, you need stock bootloader, remove root, and xposed to be able to take the OTA. Sound right??

Stock ATT 4.4.2 (165.44.1)
Unlocked Bootloader
Rooted via SuperSU flashable
TWRP 2.7.0.0

Based on the past OTA's....
Yes stock recovery is needed, but you don't need to remove root, xposed can be disabled, you need your bloat on there..
For more, see -> http://mark.cdmaforums.com/MotoX-OTA.html
Oh, and for anyone who had 4.4.2 on their phone, then partially downgraded (i.e. flashed only parts like system.img, etc from an older rom) successfully, taking the OTA now will likely brick you.
I SBF'd to 4.4.2 I'm rooted, have Phil's recovery but no xposed. Unlocked boot loader Dev edition
Based on your post I have two options.
1. SBF the stock recovery and take the update.
2. Wait till the sbf for 4.4.3 to drop and flash that.
Please confirm or let me know if I'm wrong and if there are any other options, do share please.
Great news. I only want slightly better battery life and better camera.

I'm running the soak test right now. Smooth sailing so far. I used rsd lite to flash the sbf file and everything went fine
Sent from my XT1053 using Tapatalk
Will someone release this as something we can flash later or is the only way to get it via OTA? Also, if it is released on here later about how long would it take?
T-Mobile/Unlocked only right now it seems. Which is fine.
AT&T, Verizon and Sprint probably have to wait a bit.
i'm ready. got stock recovery ready to go. just gotta flash my own 4.4.2 dump back on there and i'm good to go
Where can I get the stock recovery from?

Everyone forgets USC exists lol but ya its deff TMobile first as of now.

Find your carrier and the Android version you want the recover.img file will be in the .zip
Also, does anybody know if a custom kernel (specifically the faux kernel 007) will interfere with an OTA? If so, where can I find the stock 4.4.2 kernel?

So I should just be able to fastboot the recovery even though I'm rooted using the original ROM?

I believe so, but I'm a noob compared to some of the other people here so I wouldn't take my word for it. What I did to update to 4.4.2 was flash the stock recovery via Recovery Tools (now Rashr) and everything worked fine.

Unzip the sbf file and find the boot.IMG. that will be your stock kernel. Flash it with adb.

Most recent update

Ok so I have all but the most recent update on my phone and its rooted and I have twrp installed as a custom recovery. From what I understand I can not flash the most recent update because its not a full update it just tweeks some things. So to my question is there anyway to flash the stock recovery so I can get the update.

Just flash the Unofficial 183.46.15 with RSD Lite.
Thanks

I just updated but didn't lose root. :good:
A coworker with a RAZR HD said he updated I checked his root and it remained as well. Apparently update does not break existing root.

6p 7.1.2 update installation problem

Hi, I'm running stock Android 7.1.1 (N4F26O) on my rooted Nexus 6p with twrp installed. I just got the android 7.1.2 (NPF05F) Beta update. I tried installing it with flashfire. Flashfire kept stopping at 7%. Is there any way I can install the update without losing root
Sorry for bad english.

Same here. Mine crashes while uncrypting at 22%.
I am also experiencing this issue.
Try removing root, go back to a completely stock rom - wait for 7.1.2 then download it. Let the phone update to 7.1.2 without using flash fire.

Obviously that will work. But we aren't trying to lose the ROM, kernel, recovery, root for a beta

Everyone needs to calm down and wait! If you are not willing to go back to a full stock build, just wait until someone creates a flashable zip version. This is nothing new here. Factory ota's rarely if ever are comparable with aftermarket kernels, recoverys or root.

Dunno because it is a full OTA not just a rom so maybe try Google a bit.

No the 7.1.2 OTA does not work in FF. You can read some of the last comments in this thread, but in the OP there is a working TWRP flashable zip. Yes, you will lose root and kernel if you flash by itself, so just queue up the OTA, SU, and then kernel (if applicable) in TWRP (put them on your phone beforehand) and flash away. This way, when it finishes up you will still have root and kernel.
