Nexus 6P - Oreo 991.4MB - notification - should i update?
Dear experts,
I would like to update Android Oreo which is appearing in my notification as Oreo 991.4MB. However I would not like to loose root after that.
What is the ideal way. Should i unroot do factory reset and then update oreo. Because How will i restore apps and data if phone is not rooted after update to Oreo?
Have been going through many threads but very confused.
Pls could somebody confirm that after update to Oreo Nexus6p can be rooted safely and that there are no major issues faced thereafter at least known?
Kindly reply.

Choose yourself. You can backup your apps with titanium backup app if you're are rooted. (download the app via playstore)
Oreo works fine, you can root with latest supersu or Magisk.
Good luck

Heyo everybody! I just got this ota update message: "Essential system updates for google android - .7924"
Not sure what to do. I've had this tablet rooted for a while and I'm worried that updating will wipe out the root. Also, is it safe and/or possible to update the slate 7 extreme to lollipop and root it successfully?
Anyone?
Same here... I crash each time on reboot and have to reflash twrp and restore...
OTA...Update .. OK
I dont really care much for this tablet anymore until Lollipop arrives, like nVidia promised.
I updated in hoping to see Lollipop, but alas only for KIT KAT.
Update worked fine, and since I am on STOCK/NON-ROOTED, no issues whats so ever.
Fixed

I finally managed to install the (kitkat) auto update and retain root status. As with previous updates (which I had forgotten about), I had to extract and modify the update header first, then flash it with TWRP.
Not attempted Lollipop yet.
Hi guys,
Has anyone already tried this https://forum.xda-developers.com/s7-edge/how-to/how-to-remove-oem-bloatware-s7-s7edge-t3739217 ? It is working on my bootloader locked and unrooted ze552kl, but removed app still on the list but with "not installed for this user" notification. I wonder if this would cause bootloop due to firmware update. I'm on 85 and it's unlikely there will be another android N but I believe android O update will be coming soon. Any thoughts?

I haven't tried this, but since none of your system partitions have been modified I would not expect you to encounter any issues with a firmware upgrade.
Hi guys, Oreo is official now ! Removed apps no longer enlisted, so you have to carefully take note of what have been removed in case you want to restore prior updating. Though I'm agree bootloop is quite unlikely using the method.
Greetings devs and members:
I have recently begun using a Moto G5 Plus (XT1687 - N. American SKU) that was never updated (due to being in a drawer someplace).
I know that many things have been unlocked and improved by the devs for this particular handset. My question is simply this:
How should I update it? Should I update it?
Should I go OTA (retus) (currently blocking), or should I bypass everything and go directly to Oreo (using the update file, after a factory reset and such)?
Or, hell should I stick with Nougat right now? It seems that lots of folks are having issues, and I just wanted a more informed opinion.
Thank you.

To stay with Nougat is not a bad choice, it's a well working system.
If you want to get to Oreo just apply all the OTA updates until you're there. No need to do anything else if your device isn't rooted or the system has been tampered in any other way.
Both firmwares seem to work well.
If the phone is not rooted, then OTA updates are the easiest. Make sure the phone is fully charged or plug it in first. Go to about phone, go to check system updates, accept OTAs until it says up to date, which is likely be Oreo. If it stops at -18 the it may take a few days before the phone alters you to Oreo update.
Hello all,
So just recently I was having problems with my current firmware of Marshmallow 6.0 and I was thinking it's about time to upgrade to one of the latest firmwares available to XT1575. I'm always getting the update notification for Nougat 7.0 and I somehow accidentally chose the option to download the firmware and install it. As of now, I am stuck with my phone trying to update itself to Nougat 7.0. If you're wondering, yes my phone is rooted using Magisk. I am clueless of what to do now. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

After several reboots, I received the update failed notification. Problem has solved itself.
Hi All,
Just received my one plus 6t.
Do you guhys have any tips / useful info / must-have on the phone recommendations?
In addition,
Should I root it?
And If I root it using Magisk - Will I still get OTA updates?
And also - does OTA Update requires full wipe? or can I safely update and all my data / installed apps and setting will remain the same?
Thanks

Yes you will get OTA after you root your phone ....although instead of incremental update, you will get full rom update..
OTA doesnot require full wipe even if you are rooted but it is recommended to uninstall all magisk modules and magisk before updating
