Is it possible to use flash fire to update our devices to the new OTA? If so, I might actually consider rooting.
Once rooted you never want to take an ota

Flash fire updates with OTA while keeping root. I just don't know if flash fire works with the v20
I am also very curious about this!
T-Mobile just released an OTA update, and I heard about FlashFire. But opening it leads to "UNTESTED ON LG DEVICES!" so I'm worried. Can anyone confirm that FlashFile can handle this?

I tried it. It will not update. I just went back to stock. Don't need root.

Anyone know if the same root process works on the the G Pad 7?
Yes. I was able to successfully root the G pad with purpledrake. Towel root and stump root did not work for me.
No matter what, I can never stay away from android for long.
But how are you going to flash stock to reset the root counter? Also, if you try to update ota it will most fail due to root.

So far nobody has any access to a factory image to restore stock. I was rooted with purple drake and think I received a small update the other day. Keep in mind I rooted and that's all. I have not removed any bloat or have not changed anything like adding exposed or titanium. I am still trying to see what update I took because I cut it on one time after it had been rooted and I saw a message about my device was updated successfully.
Mine came with V41010B out of the box. Received an update for V41010D.

My V410 came with V41010B out of the box, but I've never received any updates, and I check about every other day too. I bought mine on the 4th of September. All I've done it root and install Exposed, but those are both easily undoable.
You can unroot, but the root counter is still going to show you rooted

I don't care about that. I have yet to have any company, cellular or otherwise ever check that. I recently traded in my Note 3 to AT&T for a G3, all they cared about was that it was working and in good condition.
I took that thing back. Didn't know when you get the pad you're signing a contract for two years......
Has anyone tried G3 Tweaksbox with this tablet? Just curious of the results?

It works for the most part a little buggy though.

No, haven't tried much. Without a stock Rom to flash on case something goes south in not risking anything
Does this break root? Anyone know please respond asap

Anyone try it out yet? I'm betting it does.

It almost can't break the root exploit as the kernel that comes with this firmware isn't even the one you are rooting with. Since you flash a legitimate Samsung kernel to the phone, it has no bearing on blocking it.
If they did block it, they would have blocked the ability to flash the engineering kernel (which is highly unlikely) and other legitimate kernels like the one that comes with this update. It just makes little sense that this will "patch" the root method since there's nothing to really "patch".

I have G930V with root and xposed, if I do today's new software update, will it still have all my stuff including root? Please get back to me.

I bet you won't be even able to install the update OTA if you are already rooted. You probably need to return to stock first and then update, then root if possible.
Just curious, why don't you try 935U firmware instead of the crappy bloated and neutered Verizon rom?
I rooted my T-Mobile LG Leon 5.1.1 using directions in this forum for LG Stylo. Painless. And, of course, almost immediately thereafter, a new OTA roles out. Can't apply it directly, and I can't get FlashFire to apply the OTA update, either. It tries, but fails. No response as yet in the FlashFire thread. Anyone using FlashFire to do this with their LG Leon? Thanks

It could be that since you rooted your phone, it can't apply the update. T-mobile and Metro updates always try to eliminate root...

Yeah...that's the whole point of trying FlashFire. It finagles installation of the OTA update on ROOTED phones w/o either losing root or doing anything to prevent subsequent OTA downloads. I'm looking for anyone who HAS tried that. It's not been tested on LG phones, and I'm the only person I know who's tried it on an LG Leon. W/O success so far.
I see a bunch of people on Reddit are getting notified of an upgrade to Nougat .23
https://www.reddit.com/r/MotoX/comments/7eavkc/update_from_nougat_251122_to_251123_for_moto_x/
I am currently on. 22 with TWRP and Root. Will there be a way to easily upgrade to .23

Most likely not unless moto pushes such an update. .22 to .23 is only a few minor differences in the Bluetooth stack afaik remember.

If that's all you modified. Then you should be able to just flash the nougat recovery.img. But if you are rooted. Then yoru going to have to reflash the whole .22 images. Good thing the .22 firmware is available.
There is no update yet from 22 to 23, the differences are minor and I thought it was NON-HLOS/fsg differences (voice & data modems) and that's it... All Moto OTAs are Delta differential updates, meaning they only work on a specific version.
The modem or BT firmware is not available separately. You will just have to wait for the proper update.
Im on .22 and am getting ready to do a factory reset to try and fix my Bluetooth problem. Im rooted and running TWRP.
If I want to use the .23 OTA than can I go back to MM with a locked bootloader, unroot and old modems to apply the OTA?

No... Once you have are on Nougat you cannot downgrade and upgrade to Nougat again via OTA, it will hard brick.
Thanks for the tip and keeping me from a hard brick.
Now i am wondering if I should just reset to factory default or do an over the top install of 22 on to my existing 22.

If your going to reset,. Go ahead and do an over the top install... It can't hurt anything.

I think that I will try to just "fastboot flash bluetooth BTFM.bin" taken from the full factory image of Nougat NPH25.200-22. Maybe that will help instead of starting all over again. I am doubtful, but think it is worth a shot.
Anyone check for ARB in this update?
No one has checked yet? Crazy

Of course not, I'm not willing to possibly screw myself LOL
If anyone (including me) expecting this update to fix poor signal, it DOES NOT.
The reason why i want to get root thats NOT on 13A with dirtysanta is because kernel is messed up.
There are too many problems with kernel files that come with dirtysanta root method.
