I got the OTA, but will it work via flashfire?

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.

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

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.

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

Got a used 10, got 4.4.2 on it. KOT49H
Looking to do a full root/unlock/recovery for Cyanogen 13 installation.
Been a few years and am rusty at this.
What's my best route to get this done? I haven't updated yet.
Thanks in advance
I would suggest you perform oem unlock to start with
.
If you wish to root only (without flashing customer recovery), then run the chain fire SuperSu boot image.
If wishing to flash zip files, flash a recovery (TWRP) and installation cm13.

Get Wugfresh toolkit. Does all the work for you.

Thanks. From what I've been reading, I could update to 5.1.1 and still gain full root and an unlocked bootloader
Yep, just remember that when you unlock, all user data is removed.

Thanks

Just download the full ota and flash it through twrp. Don't forget to reflash supersu afterwards.
Download link: https://developers.google.com/android/ota
Good luck!
Thank you for the reply man, I forgot what supersu I used as I used the nexus toolkit when I did it the first time.
Can I just just flash the normal one on the supersu website?
Cheers for your help

Yes, works great! I believe we're at version 2.79 now.
Don't forget to make a full backup in twrp before flashing the update, just to be sure.
No problem mate, good luck!
Sorry to be a problem, just fine the update, all went OK in TWRP. Flashed the supersu zip rebooted.
For some reason I'm still on January patch and now lost root
Any ideas where I went wrong please?

Did you flash the full ota (around 1.2 gb) or just the incremental (few mb)? If you edited your system partition (for instance to get Google assistant) you'll need the full ota!
You're no problem, mate!
Hi the full 1.2 gb. Is it possible to flash just the few mb because the ota is 42.1mb.
Thanks

Not sure what I've done, now I can't boot into recovery TWRP. Says no command in a red icon. Trying to flash the 2.79 Supersu

That's because the update failed, but it installed the stock recovery. reflash twrp again. Redownload the full ota and try to flash it again. I've experienced kinda the same last night. The OTA file was damaged it seems. redownloaded it, reflashed and everything worked. If nothing works, flash latest factory image with adb.
Good luck!
Thanks for all your help, I shall try again
Sent from my Nexus 6P using XDA Labs
The OTA either needs to be sideloaded via the stock recovery and the command adb sideload ota_file.zip, or in your case via FlashFire and the full factory image to retain TWRP and root.
If you're on stock but have a custom recovery you are better off using FlashFire to install the OTA. It restores stock recovery, flashes OTA, restores custom recovery and restores root--all automatically. That's just my opinion. Some people religiously flash everything manually but you can end up running into problems like you just did if something goes wrong.
Thank You I will try flash fire, maybe other people will read this thread because looks like Ota February has been pushed to our nexus 6p

Just Flashed the Ota with flash fire, all went well, rebooted and still on January security update with the February system update icon in the task bar still.

You need to flash the full factory image using FF instead of the incremental OTA image.
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.
