Hi there, I'm quite a noob at this, but I want to upgrade from Android 7 to 9 and also resetting all data/cache, and I'm not sure how to. I had Magisk root, and uninstallled it by restoring stock image through Magisk. Although I thought I could do an OTA after that but it says my phone is modified.
I am guessing I will need to use Odin to flash to Android 9. What firmware do I flash to upgrade from 7 to 9? Or do I need to go from 7 to 8 to 9? I will want to root with Magisk when upgrading to 9.

i cannot currently advise on how to maintain root while updating to 9, but i can advise on the rest.
get samfirm or frija
get the info those tools ask for from sammobile.com/firmwares and download them with either of those tools
unzip the contents of the firmware package and put each file in their respective places in Odin, phone in DL mode, connect, flash
from there you should still be able to root if the bootloader is unlocked and so forth. You might need to wait the 1668 hours to unlock the bootloader again. Not sure tho as my device isnt able to be rooted

I own the 6GB Ram version of the phone and wants to root it so as to use Titanium backup to restore all the contents of my previous phone.
But the Problem is that we are still going to get some big OTA updates regarding camera and maybe more bug fixes.
I know the general procedure for rooting the device i.e. first unlock the bootloader then install a custom recovery then root.
I just wanted to ask if I just install back the stock recovery after rooting the device then will I get the Ota updates?
And I am sorry if any similar question has already been asked, I searched but didn't find any. Thanks

im using twrp and magisk for root. i still get OTA updates. but only the full updates, the 1,5 gb size
after that i need to flash twrp again and then install magisk again too.
but no data lost or anything so if you can live with that, its no biggy.

i assume you know how to get root ? unlock bootloader, flash twrp, install magisk or supersu ?
well from there its just the same.
getting ota updates see attachment.
after the update you are back to stock recovery without data lost.
so just flash twrp again and install root again, thats all.

1. Unlock Bootloader and Flash TWRP
2. Flash and Download APK Magisk 13.3 (Root + Pass SafetyNet)
3. If there is a new update go to OnePlus 5 Downloads
4. Boot into TWRP and Flash the new update.
5. Everytime you flash a new update you must also flash Magisk Root.
6. Done
Should we flash twrp recovery and root zip right away after flashing full ota package??

You don't have to flash twrp recovery again.
You can flash a root zip right after flashing the full OTA package
Hello all awesome members, i have searched google, xda and even bing for answers but none have answerd me yet.
So i have an OP5 wich is running Oxygen os 5.1.2 and now i want to update it to the latest.
Things i have tried:
Download and update through the phone updater: Fail
Recovery manager: Fail
ADB sideload: Fail.
To be clear i don't care if i loose root i just want my phone back to fully stock.
So how do i get there? what am i missing?
Can you tell us more details, what ROOT method you are use? If you are using TWRP + Magisk, it's easy to update. Just download Full Update (not OTA) mostly OnePlus 5 will detected if our device ROOTED then will download Full ROM.
Then Goes to Custom Recover, Clear Cache dan Dalvi, install Full Update ROM and flash Magisk again and done

I diskussionen use twrp and magisk bit when i Tried to update via twrp i get error 7. I want it to get normal again
I really try to do stuff on my own without having to make other people repeat themselves a million times but this process is just so complicated and confusing that it's giving me a headache.
My goal: Be able to boot up LineageOS 16.
Code:
httpsforum.xda-developers.comnote-4snapdragon-devrom-lineageos-16-0-t3900807
It says it requires MM firmware and TWRP 3.2 or higher.
I have the retail 900V Note 4.
So far I have managed to downgrade to 5.1.1 and unlock the bootloader. (It says MODE: Developer)
From there I was able to install TWRP 3.0.2.
But now what?
Right now I have a phone that won't boot because there is no OS on it.
1. I can't get Odin to flash any other TWRP besides the 3.0.2 version. Odin just freezes halfway through and never completes. I'm assuming this might be because I'm not on an unlocked MM build yet. Currently still on LP.
2. I'm unsure how to get root back once I upgrade to a MM build. (I only have access to WiFi atm and this guide says it will disable it.)
Code:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-verizon/development/howto-bootloader-unlock-upgrade-to-t3398144
Any help is greatly appreciated.
I'm no expert so some of the things I'll suggest may not work.
As a first thought have you tried installing Lineage from TWRP 3.0.2
I'd suggest
1. downloading the OEM MM ROM from Sammobile and install that first so at least you have an OS to start with.
2. after setting it up install the official TWRP App update to the latest version of TWRP
3. ensure SuperSU is on the internal drive although I've not had problems installing it from a MicroSD and install it from TWRP Recovery. You should now have a rooted phone on the latest version of TWRP
4. put the Lineage ROM on the internal drive although again I've not had problems installing from a MicroSD (although it does take longer) and after 'Wiping' the system (it should tell you what steps are required from the Lineage guidance) install it.
5. After setup you will probably have to install SuperSU again or Magisk assuming there's no trace of SuperSU left on the system.
Hopefully someone will jump in and comment if I've missed something obvious or got it all wrong. Although I've rooted all 3 of my SM-N910Fs and SM-N910C at least once and installed various ROMs I don't consider myself particularly knowledgable. So far I've not bricked any of my phones or Tablets.
I really appreciate the reply.
Currently I am trying to flash 5.1.1 stock onto the phone and Odin just freezes about 25% into system.img.ext4
I have tried a dozen times.
I believe what makes my phone so difficult to flash is the stock bootloader is locked.
So, due to my Pixel's battery life being atrocious I wanted to try LineageOS 14.1 and use my P9 Lite as a daily driver.
I started by downgrading to Marshmallow from Nougat as DC-Unlocker wouldn't work on 7.0 and I needed the bootloader unlock code.
( I used the firmware and tutorial from 4mobiles dot net, looks to be a polish one. )
Once on 6.0 MM I was able to get the code and unlock the bootloader, however, LineageOS and it's TWRP does not seem to work on 6.0 so I needed to upgrade to Nougat again.
Unfortunately, when I try the official update it says there are no updates available and any time I try to use the firmware finder app either the download fails or upon attempting install the phone reports a 'compatibility issue' and won't accept any firmware.
I tried loads of different update.zip files via the recovery update as well as through ADB. Nothing seems to work.
Finally I was able to get TWRP 3.0.2.0 on it, but again, only the version from 4mobiles dot net works. Other versions of TWRP just remove recovery altogether. (I guess they don't work with 6.0)
At this point it's a bit easier to try roms, but still none of 'em seem to work.
-I tried sideloading and manually installing lineageos 14.1 from the sdcard, it fails with ERROR CODE 7
(currently I'm stuck on the 'YOUR PHONE CAN NOT BE TRUSTED/BOOTLOADER UNLOCKED' screen, no splash but I can get into recovery and fastboot)
-Tried flashing boot.img and system.img of various OEM firmwares as well as LineageOS's manually through ADB, same result, bootloops
It seems to me that some other file makes the phone believe that it's incompatible with any of my roms. Maybe the firmware i got for 6.0 is region locked, or perhaps it's the vendor.img that I don't know how to flash?
I know it's a grave mistake but I didn't take a note on what my original version number was. It was the latest 7.0 Nougat EMUI 5.0 update on a UK based unlocked VNS-L21. The 6.0 MM I flashed on it with a rollback update was C900B300.
I tried the proxy method, custom DNS, and manual download on various roms in the Firmware finder app. Even when the download doesn't fail, the system always says the firmware is incompatible when I try to install.
Right now I could put 6.0 MM back on it and make it usable, but I doubt it would be much better than the 7.0 that was on it originally.
Can anyone tell me how I could put the original Nougat firmware back on it? eRecovery doesn't detect any possible updates.
Any help would be appreciated and thanks in advance!

I've only used Full-OTAs, no bugfixes. None of them seem to work.
Yesterday I tried manually selecting a different model in Firmware Finder;
VNS-L21C185 instead of the default VNS-L21C432-
and downloaded VNS-L21C185B397 update. It verified fine but I couldn't install it due to my recovery being TWRP and not the stock one. What I think I'll try is flashing the recovery of the original Marshmallow firmware that's currently on the system and seeing if it will install this update. I kinda doubt it will tho.
Any other suggestions?
Is there any way I can install a nougat TWRP without my current working firmware being on nougat?
If not, is there any way I can install a nougat firmware with TWRP 3.0.2.0? In order to flash update.zip / update.app files I need to get the stock recovery back, but I can't seem to be able to do that.
Is there any way I can flash a standard OEM Rom onto it with TWRP?

you can't install nougat TWRP in EMUI 4. you can install update.app with original recovery.
extract UPDATE.APP from update.zip
place UPDATE.APP to dload folder in sdcard.
press power button, vol+ and vol-
As title, do we have any way to root it with magisk yet?
I'm wondering myself. I tried to root with "magisk_shieldtvpie_r2.zip and although it seemed to have installed, after restarting I still didn't have root
I know you said you wanted magisk but have you tried the Nvidia Sheild developer only OS images?
Those come with included root.
https://developer.nvidia.com/shield-developer-os-images
My problem is I don't know if I can update my developer only OS image 8.1 to 8.2 without losing all my apps. I left the bootloader unlocked. Wondering why I couldn't simply flash developer os 8.2 over 8.1 if bootloader is unlocked?

Maybe I'm doing it wrong, haven't flashed anything in a while and the place I use to get step by step guides from (nvidiashieldzone) shut down. Mind telling me the steps that you used to root?

I successfully root on normal firmware 8.2.0 with the lastest magisk. I dont know about the developer firmware.
1. I disable all magisk modules and restart
2. Boot to fastboot mode
3. Download and extract the firmware .
4. Run flash all.bat to flash the 8.2.0 firmware
5. Reboot after complete(let the shield completely boot up)
6. Use magisk manager which previously installed to patch the boot.img
7. Reboot shield to fastboot mode and flash the patched boot.img
8. Rebbot
9. Now i enable modules.
question to you guys who have rooted.
Did you get AFwall+ to work?
I have both 2017 Pro model shield and 2019 Pro model. I would like to root so I can uninstall all the crap, and then install AFwall+ firewall and just enable outgoing twitch, spotify, youtube, and some small services I use..

I just got Shield the other day and it came with 8.2. Would flashing with rooted firmware wipe it clean? Same for just rooting it?
