Hello, a friend just got the Moto G4 Plus.
He wanted to root the device but wants to receive OTA updates as well.
Is that a possible thing?
Maybe with with systemless root?
The simple answer is YES and No {Yes} if you unroot+ uninstall xposed+ and flash stock recovery than you can update your phone. {NO} if you can't do it above mentioned step ) P.S. Flashfire doesn't work.
I am on 6.0 Marshmallow due to Moto X Pure not being updated. I am running stock. I really want to be able to see the emojis that my friends send me. If i root and flash Nougat Emojis? will that prevent me from getting the Nougat update via OTA?

Don't get your hopes up for nougat ota anyways...? But jokes aside you can root with magisk and still be able to take an OTA, but I dont know if it's risky, someone correct me if I'm wrong, but i was looking at this thread.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/apps/magisk/ota-updates-magisk-t3476091/page1
Since magisk is systemless, you can get the ota, and from what I get you can flash it with flashfure, but that's over my head, you'll have to do your own reading on that I don't know if you use any apps which use safety net right now(pokemon go, Android pay, Netflix, etc...) But if you head over to the magisk forums the latest stable version is v12 but it doesn't pass safety net. If safety net is necessary for your needs you'll have to flash the latest beta, and then flash away with the nougat emojis!!!
Hope this helps, let me know if you have any questions, and I think after taking an ota you'd have to reflash magisk to gain root again but you'd still have the emojis without root anyways.
Edit : as I wrote that last line it occurred to me...you only need an unclocked bootloader and a custom recovery like TWRP to flash zips! Check some guides on how to unlock the bootloader and flash twrp. So you wouldn't even need root as you don't need to touch the system partition. I hope the above info is useful info anyways, but for the emojis, head over to the TWRP site and check the Downloads for Clark, flash twrp, and then flash the emojis!
Hey there,
I am currently running LineageOS (Oreo) and I have to say I am pretty dissapointed about it.
The Phone is rooted and unlocked.
Most of the reallly usefull stuf the OP5 has doesn't work on LineageOS. The Hardware Profile Slider is useless, no Screen-Off Gestures, the Stock OOS Camera App is buggy...etc
So my question is:
Is there a way to stay on regular Stock OOS and receive all OTAs but keep staying rooted?
And if so will I be able to stay rooted after an update? I read that one way would be to have TWRP installed and "manually flash" updates under 1GB.
Thanks a lot guys!
You can receive OTA with magisk passing SafetyNet but you need to re-root after every update, i think software will advise you before update that had find the root :good:
Hello all!
It's been a while since I've been back, and i've definitely been out of the loop for this phone..
The last thing I did with it was right after I bought it, I unlocked it, rooted it, put TWRP custom recovery on it using the "dirtycow recowvery" patch and method.
Very very long time ago...
I'm still running Nougat 7.0.1 I believe? Basically whatever the phone shipped with.
I have the T-Mobile Variant:
LGH91860fbde7d
My main question is, any phone is unusable for me if I can't get Root, and a custom recovery on it.
What is the latest version/guide on the LG V20 of the latest version of Android that it supports to download and install where I can still Root, and put TWRP on it?
I did search the forum, but there's a lot of guides, and I don't want to "assume" that it's for the latest version of Android (Oreo?) for the V20, so I wanted to make sure
Thanks!!
Hi, I recently had this new oreo update on my v20. I want to root this device. I am new to understanding how rooting works. Couldn't find any basic guide to understand this process. Can someone please help me root this device, i have H990ds. Thanks!
Basically the root method is rollback to the december 2016 security patch update, do an exploit that installs an engineering bootloader that doesn't care if its locked or unlocked, and use the fastboot mode from said engineering bootloader to flash twrp. Guide for the H990 models is here. Flash a rom like Alpha Omega to get back to a current update.
The only things I'd add to it is replace the twrp from the guide with my current one from this thread and install a newer custom kernel like mk2000 instead of the old one in the guide.
