Maybe I missed this and didn't read well, but there is no way to dirty flash a beta over the old one without a full wipe? I'm not getting OTA since I'm rooted with TWRP. If you flash a default boot.img and recovery.img will it then take the OTA and update it?
Thx

I always use Deuce's tool. Extract all the files and run his bat file. Just select N at the end so it doesn't wipe data. That way I know both partitions are updated to the latest images and I keep all my data.

Also, you will need to reflash TWRP and Magisk afterwards

Yeah, so read another thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-2-xl/how-to/guide-how-to-install-google-software-t3760535
Just remove the -w from the script, I usually use Deuce though, have issue with flash all many times.
Will give it a go, and just select N on the Userdata...
EDIT: Well that's a first, used the flash-all and removed the -w and it ran fine. Miracle..has never worked, always used Deuce in the past. Whatever it takes I guess.
I know the rest of the routine for twrp and rooting. Just make sure your move pin/fingerprint...or else TWRP won't work/decrypt.
Thanks!

Well, to add. Did a dirty update. All works well, but having issues again with Magisk and failing Safetynet. I'm getting the "csProfile: false" error on the test.
Had both failures before on DP3, and the Play store services, clearing all data worked with that after a reboot. Not this trick now though. Guess others are having this as well in the other Beta thread and Substratum in this section.

OTA is out

Not sure on that...mine is failing as well but I typically use Flash's kernel but v2.47 failed on mine and caused issues so I'm not using a custom kernel until he updates his.

Yeah, the other Beta Android thread with Substratum people are posting the same. Wait for flash kernel and maybe that works. So just now, google pay doesn't work. But phone is rooted...price we pay for Beta!
Sai's Black Substratum on the 997 beta still working, just don't use Nav UI, other stuff works though, System/UI/QS etc..

Yep I flashed Magisk no problem. SafetyNet doesn't pass ctsprofile. I'm hoping a custom kernel will fix once one comes available (I use Flash Kernel).

It doesn't. I am guessing they're checking the build fingerprint now, which can't be changed with resetprop (just errors). This is expected according to their website so hopefully it will pass once the official release is out.
Android P beta devices aren't Compatibility Test Suite (CTS) approved, but they have passed preliminary testing and provide the same set of APIs for developers. Apps that depend on CTS-approved builds might not work normally on supported devices.

[Discussion] Dumb attempt to upgrade to Marshmallow with TWRM in osprey

Hi everyone, posting this as a information about something you should NOT try: upgrade your OTA rom with custom recovery installed, in my case TWRP.
I did this with ignorance of not think that (or search about) the custom rom could interfere at the normal process of OTA upgrade from Lollipop to MarshMallow. Actually I remembered that I was unlocked and rooted the phone but I did not remember I was using custom recovery. AFAIK at this device is impossible to root without unlocking and custom recovery.

If you are on TWRP don't do this!
For those don't know about TWRP and OTA updates, read this:
https://twrp.me/faq/officialota.html
In short terms: don't try OTA updates (official updates) if you installed custom rom such as TWRP. "Installing official updates from your manufacturer or carrier is not supported by TWRP." "[This] may result in unexpected behavior" "Most of the time the best way to get a new update onto your device is to simply wait a couple of days for ROM makers for your device to come up with ROMs that are based on the new update that you can safely and easily install."
But I did it. And now I'm reporting it for those who are curious. So, what's happened?
Fortunately the device is not bricked as I thought when it reboot to TWRP for flashing the OTA update instead of the stock recovery process! I thought that I messed everything when I see the frozen TWRP for something about 10 minutes or less. After the long 10 minutes of frozen TWRP image I got the recovery working and checked the log:
Of course, errors on the log.
Rebooted and got a frozen background image, after a while a permanent black. When the screen turn off the notification system shows the battery as dead (and it as not). But I could turn it off and gain access to the recovery holding power and volume down buttons.
After two failed reboots to the system with the same result I tried to make a screenshot using the hard buttons and it works (screenshoted the black screen) and suddenly the lock screen shows up. I got into, everything working slow meaning that there was a lot things working in the background. Got some error messages from google service and MMS/SMS communication and minutes later it automatically reboots and booted the TWRP again.
This turned to a loop. I stopped this by going to the system setup - about the device - check for updates. And got a message "the update has failed". Good. After a while the message offering the update shows again... No, thanks...
I rebooted to TWRP and fixed the permissions, maybe this solve some problems.
Right now the phone is working but the rebooting process has unexpected behaviors, some tries result in a normal fast process and other tries result in a long black image and the system/launcher just don't arm up for some minutes, but after a while it works. I'm not confident. Already backed up apps with Titanium backup.
I'm planning to restore everything from the stock using this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/mot...e-restore-moto-e-2015-stock-firmware-t3054303
And them, maybe, update the OTA to marshmallow. Before doing that, I will search and get to know if it is possible to re-root the phone with marshmallow in osprey (that means re-unlock and install TWRP again). Rooted device it's a need for me.
This is what happened to my device when tried to OTA update with TWRP. I had luck not bricking this.
+1 on the dumb attempt. Early morning, excited for the release, upgrade please! Yeah, no good. Is restoring our only option? Seems the upgrade has not even started so what about deleting the downloaded image file or trying to kill the process attempt?
did you really had to make a new thread with that huge wall of text? haha come on man, common knowledge that to take the OTA you need stock recovery ?

Yeah, DON'T proceed with the update! Deleting the downloaded files just break the process... My advise is to make a backup before deleting this.

No need to adb stock image. A simple factory reset worked for me. Next time will have more caffiene before attempting anything major with my phone.

Good to know that a factory reset could fix the problems caused by the OTA update with TWRP. But after this it should remain with custom recovery and not possible to OTA update. for stock MM

I experience this today, I flashed a stock rom again so I can have the OTA update, but what I can't do is root my device, I flash the custom recovery and then I flash the beta version of SuperSU, and when I reboot my device it bricks in the Motorola Logo, anybody knows how to fix this, or should I wait a little bit longer to root my phone? as the OP I need root too
Use the latest 2.62 superSU zip. And never root with the TWRP option before reboot.

I can't seem to get root back. I did my usual things. It boots up, but when I flash the latest magisk it gets stuck at the G for a bit, then reboots into recovery, where I try again.
I'm fastboot booting the latest twrp and flashing the latest magisk there.
When I say it boots up, I always check that it does before flashing anything.

Is this possible? I'd love to know how?
Also, did anyone else have to flash magisk uninstaller for this update as is mentioned a few posts above by someone? That's not part of my standard procedure.
One more positive I noticed from the update. There's no longer a delay between returning to the homescreen and when you can open a folder. Previously I had to wait a split second for the homescreen animation to finish before I could open a folder.
Seems like 3rd party launchers are supported too? I just used Nova launcher with gesture navigation(not sure if this is new)

I thought I read somewhere it could be done.
Well, last month was the first time I was able to flash OTA and keep root. The procedure was to uninstall Magisk from Magisk Manager (not completely) install the OTA (DON'T REBOOT!) then re-install Magisk from the manager (the after OTA option), then reboot. Worked great.
This month, I tried this and I'm not able to boot up. Reboots a couple of times then goes to a stock recovery screen telling me it can't boot and the options are "try again" and the dreaded "factory reset".
I've tried booting in TWRP (using fastboot) to flash the latest magisk uninstall, and then flashing the full factory image (with the -w flag removed)... not luck so far, but I'll try again a few times as in the past when I've had trouble, re-flashing actually helps.
Anyone else had similar trouble?

Extract the boot.img from the factory image, put it on your phone and patch it via magisk manager. Then put the patched.img in your platform-tools folder, and fastboot it to both slots. It's also a good idea to disable all modules and substratum themes, and set your screen lock to swipe before you do monthly updates. It's what I do every month without issues for about the last 2 years :good:

CAPTCHA:
After clean fastboot flashing of this version with flash_all_except_data -> rebooting phone forces to stock recovery and requests factory reset.
Seems like after installing OTA possible behaviours are: either the same request for reset, or bootloop.
Reflashed back V11.0.14.0.QDIMIXM in order to make data backup

everything fine running V11.0.14.0.QDIMIXM
So this is yet another botched update to skip, got it.
Thank you, brave ones who are willing to update first.
I'm just too afraid to update this device nowadays.
I had to reset device after last update this is really worst device support I had
For those who have reverted to V11.0.14.0.QDIMIXM, you don't have any bootloop on androidone screen?
My wife did the update, so I reverted to V11.0.14.0.QDIMIXM with flash_all_except_data but for now it still bootloop

I had the same problem, which was solved for me by going into fastboot and issuing a fastboot boot recovery which for some reason returned by phone to a working state with an update failed notification. will skip this one

Hi,
All I did was go into fastboot using the power and volume shortcut, and than I connected the device to my laptop and issued the command:
fastboot reboot recovery
(naturally using the SDK Platform tools)
After that, the phone started working again. Although there is no reasonable reason it should have worked. I was surprised enough so that I decided to take the effort to create an account here and share this for others. But again, maybe it was pure luck, YMMV.
Will be crossing my fingers for you.
I've tried to update and got the "Can't load Android system. Your data may be corrupt" messege. Tried again a few times, until the phone reverted back to the previous version and said it couldn't install the update. No October update for me. =(

Updating from 10 to 11 with root

Ok, so I'm gonna do the update to android 11 now that it seems to be more stable. My question is, once I do that, and I keep root, is there a way to do a factory data reset and not lose root all together? I like to do a factory reset when doing a major update just to make sure things run as smooth as possible, but I'd like to not lose root in the process. Thanks in advance!
Root (aka Magisk) IMHO resides in the boot image, so a factory reset would not interfere with root itself. Of course you would need to reinstall Magisk manager (Canary) after the factory reset. Oh, and you need to be on Canary Magisk for A11 anyway - so if you do the update from A10 you need to make sure you are on Magisk Canary (Manager and Magisk itself) or it won't work afterwards...

Nope latest beta works great too. Canary isn't needed anymore.

I have guides for this and for 11-11 they're in the guides section.
Thoroughly tested.

So I just need beta magisk and the regular app? Cause I just installed the canary magisk manager and it's missing quite a few options like magisk hide and such. And I definitely need those.

That is a lot more involved than I was expecting this to be. I figured I could just retain root with an update the same way I always do.

It's 9 steps?
You need to remove modules, you will need to use the updated boot img and your won't have twrp to fall back on.
If you want to wipe after you'll need to set up then reinstall magisk then obtain your boot img, patch it and boot it then flash it directly.

It's not that, it's just that I usually used a pretty simple guide for updates and I didn't need to do anything on the computer for it to work.

Is it because we're updating from 10 to 11 that these extra steps are needed? Sorry, I'm just curious is all.

No not at all.
Tbh it's extremely similar.
Just that the way I've written it means you won't have issues, I'd rather cover bases in a guide than answer a 100 questions later.
If you have magisk functional already then you're halfway there.
I've updated the OP in my guide.
Some steps are informational

I installed the canary built of magisk from your thread, but there isn't an install button. ?
Edit: I went back to the beta build and it worked fine with patching.

I did yesterday. I MSMed and updated to 43. Rooted than installed oos11 and root held.
Got 11 this morning, no major issues.
I think some of the McLaren custom stuff is borked, and all my ringtone & sounds were defaulted to silent.
Never rooted, haven't seen a need for it yet.

I was using Canary already, guess I lucked out lol. But Magisk just released official version 23 so it's a moot point now.
How were you able to extract the boot image without twrp?

My OTA update isn't being downloaded even after rebooting the phone and factory reseting my phone , do I have to root my phone to download it?
I don't want to risk rooting my device especially when it's t-mobile and I'm no root expert.
Do u know any other solution to download the update it would mean a lot.
Thank you

Mind sharing the link for the boot.img you downloaded? No worries if not, I'll look on here for it, but that's the main thing I need before I update. Thanks, man!

[GUIDE] ROOT OnePlus 7T Pro McLaren 5G (T-Mobile version HD1925)
Hi. So I wanted to put together a little write-up on how to root the T-Mobile McLaren 5G variant, at least how I rooted mine, as there doesn't seem to be anything about this yet. I was actually able to root my device last night successfully, so I...
forum.xda-developers.com
After the Tmobile update to Android 11, my phone became unusable. It will reboot to T-mobile boot screen after about 60 seconds now. Immediatedly after the update it was crashing after 2 minutes. Then I tried a full wipe and restore, it worked for a day, then when into crashing a minute after pin unlock. Did another full wipe and it lasted 3 days, then back to crashing again.
Tried various recovery methods, and nothing worked. Next step is to figure out how to put stock T-mobile Android 10 back. Why not root it and put on another OS you say? Well I need the work profile stuff and all the lockdown checks for work. Don't want my device to get marked as "untrusted".
Any recommendations on as to best place to start on reinstall.
I'm having a problem where when I go into fast boot mode my computer doesn't recognize my device driver so I am unable to send any fast boot commands, anyone know the fix?

Look here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...l-to-restore-your-device-to-oxygenos.4043925/
If your device hasn't exposed EDL mode and you can get to fastboot, you can try the command: `fastboot oem edl` from the connected computer to get it there.
I also had to extract the CAB file in the linked post before my computer would see the drivers for the phone's EDL mode and install them.
Anyone have a working Dolby Atmos?
Was using the Android 10 version from I think the ROG phone but that is now incompatible
