Need Some Help For Install Franco Kernel

Hey guys,
i have custom rom nexus pure
and i want to install franco kernel.
do i need to do somthing special before the install?
like wipe?
and another thing,in the post about the kernel it explain what to do according to your current verison of the kernel
"
If you're on a 100% stock device (stock rom + stock Kernel) or already on r8 or newer disregard the messages below and just flash - if not:
* If you're on stock rom + r7, or older, you should be flashing stock boot.img first, then r8, or newer;
* If you're on a custom rom + r7, or older, you should dirty flash the rom (or extract its boot.img and fastboot flash it) and then r8, or newer;
"
and i have just custom rom and havent the kernel so im not sure what to do.
thank you for helping

Are you with your custom rom kernel ?
If yes, then just flash fk and root (if you want to).
Profit

In your case, just flash FK r10. No need to flash SuperSU, Pure Nexus is pre-rooted.

if you took 2 minutes to read the installation intructions for the Pure Nexus ROM, you wouldve had your answer.

my goodness... I literally have to spoonfeed you the information? I've given you absolutely everything you need to find the info and learn how to install it yourself.
Click either install instruction (dirty or clean) and READ.

so you mean that i need to do these steps
1a. Download the latest Pure Nexus zip (pay attention to the version you choose) and your custom kernel if you have one onto your phone.
1b. If you are on the CMTE variant, it is a good idea to set your theme back to stock before dirty flashing. If you don’t and your theme looks wonky after flashing, try using this app.
2. Boot into TWRP and make a backup (remove any lock screen security before this, optional but HIGHLY recommended).
3. Wipe cache and dalvik cache (optional).
4. Flash Pure Nexus zip.
5. Update your vendor image (only need to do this once per build number).
6. Flash your custom kernel (optional).
7. Reboot and profit.
just with the kernel zip?
and if the answer is yes i need to update the vendor image again? i already did it when i install the rom.
thank for the help man it mean to me alot

No. all you need to do is go into twrp and install the kernel
THose are the install insructions for when you update the rom either via dirty or clean.
since you already have the ROM installed, just install the kernel in twrp and reboot.

Android N OTA official link (OOS 3.5.4 to 4.0 / full 4.0 zip)

Here you go, official OTA link from OOS 3.5.4 to 4.0
You need to flash the OOS 3.5.4 full zip before flashing this incremental OTA zip (if you are not full stock)
http://otafsc.h2os.com/patch/amazon...gen_28_OTA_029-035_patch_1612310259_a8e4f.zip
You can also use the complete OOS 4.0 full zip from here:
http://otafsc.h2os.com/patch/amazon...s3TOxygen_28_OTA_035_all_1612310259_2dc0c.zip
Flash with stock recovery or TWRP.

Thank you very much, let's see how fast the mirror is

How can i get back to 3.5.4 from open beta 1?

So with root, twrp and oxygen 3.5.4 you need to flash the full 3.5.4 ota and then you can flash the 4.0 ota?

Exactly.

I'm guessing this is the latest OTA 4.0? Do'h of course it is lol, using German VPN but downloading is slow currently at 35%.....So you beat me to it......
Thanks dude, guess I can now cancel my download.....:silly:

So maybe I understand. I'm downloading the full 3.5.4 zip. Then I have to flash it via recovery and then I will be able to flash this ota package? I'm sorry if i'm bothering you but I'm a little confused now. Thank you in advance

1)Flash 3.5.4
2)Then 4.0 OTA Zip (Directly After)
3)SuperSU
4)Don't try custom Kernels (they most definitely won't work)

can anyone say, waht this is? sorry for the noob question

Okay, great work, all of you. But now, for a noob, can anyone tell me what to do?
I am on 3.5.4 stock rooted, with TWRP, encrypted. Bootloader unlocked.
Is there any way to flash this 4.0 WITHOUT losing data/settings etc.?
And if so, could someone tell me how and what which files?
I'd really be happy!!!

Updating from settings didn't work for me... it rebooted to recovery and almost immediately said "Install Failed", I'm using stock recovery, stock 3.5.4, not rooted, bootloader unlocked

Would the stock OTA update cause any issues for UK 3 Branded phones?
The official update for us is going to be a while I think.
TIA ?
Would warranty still be intact as well?

Thank you and me

You should try it.I don't think it will affect your warranty because it is an official ota zip.This zip only checks if your phone is marshmallow or not, if it is mm, then it should flash properly.

I had to use SuperSU 2.79 to get proper (systemless) root, maybe this helps anyone. 2.78 got me rooted but my SIM didn't work with it.

The update is probably detecting the 3 version as a different rom so it wont install . If you flash to S048 row rom , let it update to S062 then you should receive the OTA update to nougat

wzedlare could you change your post to tell people to rename the stock rom from - P2a42_S062_170117_ROW_TO_P2a42_S232_170320_ROW_WC00AFB1F4.zip to UPDATE.zip

If you flash any of the stock ROMs, will it affect a bootloader unlock timer that is in progress with Lenovo? Will it get reset or fail to activate in some way?

When you apply to unlock the bootloader the phone contacts Lenovo over the internet , so the countdown timer runs from their end . so your safe to reset , upgrade etc

System update

I'm on NPN25. 137-33. Flashed back to my stock backup for various reasons, am now getting a notification for whatever update is available.....a couple of things. How do I disable the update? And is there a stock rom of the latest build available for the US variant that's TWRP flashable? I don't see it. I was on the stock debloated rom which seemed fine but I couldn't get it to root with superuser or magisk.

Yes u need to flash through twrp... And I think its rootable

.67 is for the Indian G5+, but works on the US variant (RETUS). .35-5 is the most current firmware and .43 is for Verizon users (fixes call/VoLTE issues) of RETUS but is a March security patch instead of May like .35-5. The .67 has a different kernel source and March security patch. I'd go with .35-5. It's available here. But none of these are flashable through TWRP. You can fastboot though...

You lose recovery if you flash through fast boot though right? And so the one posted above you through retus isn't compatible with twrp?

I believe the one posted above linked via gdrive is flashable through TWRP and was created by @GtrCraft and is based off RETIN or RETUE. You loose TWRP, but fastboot it right back.
I was just trying to help answer your original question about the most up to date RETUS firmware. Moto has made it difficult to track with all the variants.

Thanks for all. What is the fasboot command to flash a zip?

My apologies if this isn't the right place to ask, but the discussion seems to be right in line with my issue. I'm running -35 (RETUS), rooted (SuperSU) and TWRP. I got the notification to update yesterday, and being partly distracted by screaming kids, I accepted.
It, of course, failed. But more importantly, now any power/boot cycle dumps me into TWRP every time. The only way back to the OS is to boot to bootloader and click "start". I honestly could care less about the security update (as I'm sure a TWRP friendly version is on the horizon). But having to go through the bootloader to simply power up/reboot the phone is a royal PITA.
Is there a quick fix to the hook that seems to redirect to the recovery? As bad as that is, I'd live with it if it means I don't have to wipe and start from scratch.

I'd start from scratch and make a backup of your current now, flash stock .35-5 that I linked above with RSDlite (update if on Verizon - your choice), fastboot TWRP again and restore. I accidentally did it with .35 and this was the process I did to get out of bootloop recovery hell. Hope that helps...
I posted the .43 update if you don't get the update and required it for Verizon.

How to update to PIE official (unlocked Bootloader with TWRP)

Guys today morning I got the OTA UPDATE to PIE. I am currently on v340 with an unlocked bootloader and TWRP already installed.
Should I go with the OTA update? Will it cause any errors?

Stay on oreo, pie is a disappointment over oreo in many ways, like BB reduced, sound quality reduced, no night light and most important you can't play PUBG in HD and many more.
If you really want to taste pie then you can use custom pie roms otherwise stay on stock oreo.

If your bootloader is unlocked then it's not a good idea to update via FOTA in my opinion. Wait for until someone made a flashable Twrp zip.

To install any rom using twrp you must download the rom and place it in your storage
Then boot into twrp
Click on install and and browse to your file click on it and flash it...
You can also do clean flash by wiping your sytem and data before flashing....

I saved update file on SD card, restarted mobile and update proces itself started.
Everything was fine.

I think I should wait till someone makes a TWRP flashable zip. Way too much hassle, again going back to stock rom using adb, then updating the rom, then installing Twrp and magisk again.
