Hello all, my Razr M (9.8.1Q-78-1) is still locked and not rooted! I had not been informed of updates on my device (I think) because I have Motorola services disabled. I hope I didn't miss the boat again! I have looked around for up to date news, but I am late and my situation is not common!
The big question: "Is it too late to OTA" through Moto/Verison, and if so, are there any other options? Thanks in advance for any help / pointers!

Thank you for responding, I have read that KK can be rooted and unlocked. What concerns me is that the update might have been patched! I may be a nervous noob, but I am sure they are hard at work to slam the door. It is now 12:26 am July 30, and I am running late to the party, again!
I apologize for the new thread, maybe I should have been more patient. I am anxious, I do not know how much time I have left. I missed the boat last year and have had a lot of time to stew on it! I am just being cautious before taking an OTA as I should be, at least I've learned that much.

Tiny update 9.30.1.en.US?
Can someone please tell me what this OTA is (9.30.1.en.US), it took only seconds to download? Is this the norm?!
Previous system was 98.16.3.XT907.en.US / 4.1.2 / 9.8.1Q-78-1
Any ideas what this update is? Was this pushed before KK?

1. Use RSD Lite to flash the official KK firmware.
2. Use Towel Root to root.
3. Use Motopocalypse to unlock your bootloader.

Thank you, I have been reading about rsd lite (old thread 2013). If I am understanding this right, you can flash stock KK (manually downloaded with PC from the link you posted) with it even though I am unrooted and have a locked bl (because it is an official ROM)? If this is true, I do not need to rush, and do not need to use OTA at all? Downloading latest vers. 5.7 of RSD Lite now. Do I still have to edit xml?
My phone downloaded that update (98.30.1) last night, but I did not install it. If I do a FDR, will it effectively remove the update from whatever semi-hidden cache it downloaded it to? or should I just let it install? If either one is safe, then I can take all the time I want, and take baby steps. I really don't want to brick it, I use it daily for work!

1. Yes, firmware can be flashed on locked bl's. You just can't downgrade.
2. If you want you can install the 98.30.1 OTA or just flash up to 183.46.10, your choice.
3. Don't touch the xml, there's no need. That's only for downgrading or even re-flashing to stock.
4. A FDR will remove any update data on your device, but you will be asked again to download it.
4.5 Again, your choice.
If you've upgraded to the new Lollipop 5.0.1 update (N910VVRU1BOAF) for Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note 4 (N910V):
MAKE SURE YOU NEVER TAKE ANY OTA
unless/until
IT IS CONFIRMED THAT IT IS SAFE TO UPGRADE/DOWNGRADE
or
A dev has made a SAFE UPGRADE via Odin or recovery-flashable .ZIP​
One of the main advantages of this update is that you can use ODIN to go back to KK 4.4.4 at anytime, since the bootloader isn't incremented.
For Retail Edition: This is very important if you want to gain ROOT access when available & keep it over OTAs then.
For Developer Edition: Some of you have taken the OTA & restored his aboot backup via Odin. This was fine ONLY for this update. However, if the bootloader is incremented with any coming OTA, it'll block your unlocked bootloader for good & you'll end up with a Retail Edition. Moreover, if you were able to restore your aboot over an incremented bootloader using ADB/dd/etc utilizing ROOT access, you'll most likely HARD BRICK your device since the other critical partitions (TZ, SBL, ... etc) can break boot sequence due to failure in signature verification or version check.
Do we know if the updates will automatically install after a period of time?
I'm still on 4.4.4 NJ5, and the dialog pops up periodically. I am running without using the "no OTA" script at the moment. Has anyone experienced the phone update by itself after a while?
^^^I'm not sure, but I've been postponing mine since the Ota was pushed.

It's recommended to disable the OTA & manually update whenever you wish, if it's safe.
When blocking/disabling packages, which is the one that stops OTA. I've used the debloat tool for lollipop but just want to ensure that I've blocked it since I don't see any packages titled specifically as "OTA"

For Retail Edition, follow instructions here to flash N910VVRU1BOAF_FullFirmware.tar.md5.7z!
So if if I upgraded to Lollipop can I still downgrade back to Kit Kat?

I did last night, just use Odin to flash the NJ5 firmware, when it tries to boot the first time it will bootloop. Pull the battery, replace the battery and boot to recovery (vol up+home+power) then wipe data. The phone will boot to the setup wizard for KK.
I'm a bit confused about this thread. What would the next update lock that isn't already locked? As I understand, the hope of rooting now is looking quite dim.
Not sure I care much since the SD card limitation has been addressed. That was the only reason I rooted my last phone.

From what I understand, its been confirmed that you can downgrade back to KK from 5.01. However, any updates thereafter (esp. OTA's through your carrier) have the potential to take away that ability to downgrade. A good example of this is the situation that happend with Verizon's Galaxy S4. The Update after MDK locked both the bootloader and the ability to downgrade back to MDK. No one was able to figure out how to downgrade back to MDK and only those fortunate enough not to have taken the update after mdk could flash custom roms that weren't touchwiz based (ie aosp). Since we don't know what the future holds for root on this device, its wise to keep all of your avenues open.

Another example, some Note 3 users fall into the trap of 4.4.4 OTA update & with no option to downgrade, they lost root, custom TW ROMs, and almost everything. Now, they're waiting with Note 4 users for a root method to rejoin the party while Note 3 on 4.4.2 can be rooted using TowelRoot.
Which tool?

All of the debloat tools that I find require root, which are you using?
There's a script that someone wrote to disable Ota and debloat. It doesn't need root. Sacher around on here for it
So would it be a bad idea to update just using the software update in the phones settings menu? Or should I do it by running odin? What actual difference does this make? Will this cause me issues once we do have a root method for this device?
As of now it makes no difference.
Stupid question, but how do you turn off automatic OTA on lollipop?
I was wondering if I have a backup twrp recovery file comming from a lolipop fw, then I upgrade my SATV to marshmallow. Can I flash my lolipop twrp backup recovery file to my updated Marshmallow SATV via twrp to bring back may previous setup before I upgrade may SATV to marshmallow without any problem?

Did you try to flash back a backup recovery file? For what I've read from here and other forums you can't turn back to previous fw(lolipop) from a marshmallow update... For that I hesitate to upgrade my SATV to the marshmallow
No you can't is the short answer, I tried and failed
I believe the Marshmallow update re-sizes the partitions and that's causing the problems.

The main difference for me is the adaptive storage but I've just bought a USB 3.0 HDD and I'm fairly happy with it, lots of storage and it's not really causing any lag like my SD card did. I have noticed a couple of crashes in the last few weeks which never happened on lollipop but it's nothing that a reboot didn't solve and they're not constant.
If an app doesn't work then that's the biggest issue. If the developer is good then it'll get updated (hopefully) but it's a real pain if you use an app and all of a sudden you can't use it. Only you can make that call if you know an app won't work yet.
The other thing I'd say is if you're happy with the device as it is and don't need any of the features marshmallow brings (let's be honest, doze etc is pointless as the shield is plugged in) then leave it. If it isn't broke don't fix it
I was able to downgrade back to the 2.1 firmware from 3.2. I posted my steps in the 2.1 firmware thread.
Hi all,
I'm on the LG G4, UK version, rooted. I'm getting a prompt to update to:
V20g-JUL-20-2016
This does not seem to work with TWRP. Can I flash it manually, and if so - is THIS the file to flash like THIS? Can I do it without wiping all the data?
Thank you! :fingers-crossed:
I do not think you can flash it with TWRP. Why don't you use a custom ROM based on it? Whatever method you use to write that KDZ, you will lose root and the custom recovery. You have to wait for a TWRP flashable zip version, if it will ever be available.
For LG G3 was some kind of software with you can transform kdz file in a zip flashable file. Maybe it is a version for lg g4 also or maybe works for lg g4 ...

Hi,
You can do this :
- Get LGUP software and V20d kdz.
-Flash KDZ with "update" option checked in LGUP.
-Reboot your phone, you shoud have all your apps and settings.
-Launch the OTA update to v20g, boot on v20G.
-Reinstall recovery & root and enjoy
Assuming you can install a custom recovery on a unlocked bootloader G4, the list that @Aimixess gave should be the one to use for every official update. I did not root mine yet and I will probably not root it for a long time (because of the issues that could appear).

It is why I'm going to sell this joke of a phone as soon as possible. I don't think waiting is the thing to do.
After 8 months of waiting I have lost all my hope. Rooting and and upgrading remain complicated, time consuming and pretty riskie...
I guess the phone is not popular enough and there are not enough serious developers interested in this phone.
And now the phone is also getting pretty old. I don't think the situation will improve.
I give up!

I agree. Rooting is complicated. It's got hardware issues. Mine experienced the dreaded motherboard overheating where it would just bootloop and it had to be sent for repair. However, it's still a great phone.

You should already have an unlocked bootloader.
So basically you flash latest TWRP think it was TWRP-3.0.2-H815. Then boot into twrp recovery and install latest supersu UPDATE-SuperSU-v2.76-20160630161323. Clear cache and dalvik. Done.
Here is a pretty thorough guide, just use latest twrp and supersu. (I dont recommend xposed and viper due to higher risk of bricking your phone.)

Wrong, you have to use this @runningnak3d tutorial to go back to root...but so far, even if you are on H91010T, you can roll back and root. ARB has not yet been implemented on this phone, so you're good to use any rooting method you see fit in this forum. Enjoy!

I don't know what version of H918 you're on now, but if I'm not mistaken 10k is the last one that you can still mess up and still get root back by downgrading to an earlier version, root and then upgrade. any version after 10k will increment ARB to 1 whereby you will not be able to get root if you lose it. that said, the latest version out now is 10s and if you have root then you should also have TWRP. here's my guide for updating to the latest versions while keep root https://forum.xda-developers.com/v20/development/rom-h91810q-stock-rom-twrp-flashable-zip-t3681312. looking at this now, I haven't posted the 10s update file, which I will do now... keep in mind that if you update to 10s that if you lose TWRP you'll be fscked and stuck without root, which at this point could be permanently.
EDIT: 10s is a go! original post updated with link. also removing the older versions from Google Drive to free up space... if they're still needed, PM

Hey, I followed the instructions per your thread and successfully installed 10s and kept root! The bad news is that I did a factory reset immediately after and now it keeps bootlooping into TWRP. Any idea how to fix this? Sadly I didn't make a backup because my microsd card was too small and I didn't have the patience to wait til tomorrow and go out and buy one, really hope I didn't kick myself in the ass and brick my phone. :crying:
Edit:
I was able to find a fix by following these instructions:
"I had this happen to me after installing TWRP for the first time. It would keep rebooting to TWRP. This was after making sure I flashed SuperSU as well. Eventually in a moment of "might as well see what will happen" I rebooted then held down the power button and volume down. Got to the option if I wanted to factory reset my phone which I did which booted into TWRP. Rebooted to system from there which got me out of the TWRP Bootloop."
I also set my phone up again and can confirm that 10s is still good with root! Thanks for the guide and work, man. Much appreciated!
