[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Viper4713:
I am just curious as to why you guys are trying to "keep root" and get an OTA at the same time, you either root and never mess with OTA's again or go OTA like the rest of standard (non-xda/geek) users.

Simply dirty flash the Official pre-rooted 5.1 Stock ROM and flash any other mods you may had again like Xposed framework system files for example then wipe cache and dalvik and boom you're good to go.

A regular OTA does the same thing, flashes /System again clean and wipes cache and dalvik without touching /Data.

Then flash The Firmware and you have done everything the OTA does.

Firmware flash should work even on S-ON only if you are upgrading rather then downgrading and only if do it in fastboot on your phone by "0p6bimg.zip" to SD rather then doing it on a PC.

Now I understand dirty flashing is known to cause issues and bugs but the truth is that is only really on custom ROMs with aroma and other extra things and modifications, the zip I posted above is a Stock /System flash, nothing else besides flashing SuperSu app AFTER /System partition is written, almost all other custom ROMs I always had some kind of dirty flash issue, a missing app or something, but this method here I never ever ever had an issue, even on Nexus devices and such in the past.

Now if you wished to go OTA without root, then you must make sure you have CID "GOOGL001" and also confirm your MID is "0P6B17000" by "fastboot getvar mid" then flash This NON-Rooted Stock 5.1 RUU and afterwards do not make any modifications and lock your bootloader by "fastboot oem lock" I never tried it on my M8 but on my Nexus 4 OTA's failed on unlocked bootloaders!!

So the conclusion to all of this is in my opinion OTA and root are 2 different choices to make and mixing both are difficult and irritating, devs like enewman17 and others will always have Stock roms and RUUs posted and I am sure a rom and ruu of Marshmallow will be available 1-3 days of release if not sooner!
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scbash:
Well son of a gun... Looks like some update to SuperSU also solved the problem, because full unrooted actually worked this time (it removed the symlink and app_process32 had the right signature afterwards). So it was probably a bug all along. So I didn't even need to jump through an hoops tonight.

Thanks,

Stephen
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scbash:
Honestly Viper, when I started this thread back in the spring I wasn't trying to keep root. I had run a "fully unroot" and the OTA still failed to install. As I mentioned in a previous post, this seems to have been a bug which has since been corrected.

As far as messing with OTAs and root, it's a long and tortuous story that mostly revolves around a few dead phone scares that required a Titanium Backup safety net. But over the past few months I've found workarounds for everything I use root for, so going forward I won't be messing with it ;)

H9 to H10 Flash

HTC One ME GPE. Not converted.

I cannot get H9 to H10 either OTA or Flash. I unrooted SuperSU and returned to stock Recovery. I also have S=Off. Error says I do not have H9, but it shows H9 in Build LMYY470.H9. I could not do H9 OTA either, but I did flash it in stock recovery.

I don't really care about H10, but I do want to eventually get the phone to Android 6.0. Should I flash one of the GraffixNYC RUU's, if so which one? Or do I wait for a Android 6.0 flash?

Just follow my tutorial a couple posts above, it WILL WORK, make sure you're on TWRP 2.8.7.0, no unofficial versions.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pclewis:
Thanks Viper,

Your tutorial is right on. I have pretty much given up on OTA, as they are somewhat erratic unless you never root or unlock. I think I will leave it alone until I get my new Nexus 6p, then I don't mind using the M8 as a backup and wiping the phone. Probably in a year or so it will be on CM 13 or whatever.

Thanks, your comments are right on.

Phil
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Viper4713:
Alright cool, hope you enjoy the N6P! but you do not have to wipe your phone to update from H9 to H10, read the tutorial a little closer lol.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pclewis:
Well, I tried that and almost always flash rather than OTA, but even though it went from H6 to H9 with flash, it will not do H9 to H10. I took it to stock recovery from TWRP and removed SuperSU root, but still no luck. Even though it shows H9 on "about phone" I get an error that it is not on H9 when doing the flash in recovery. Rather than deal with erasing some files, I think I will just leave it alone until I get the new phone. Or maybe I should just try one more time.

[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Viper4713:
Idk that makes no sense to me, there is no reason to unroot or get stock recovery, enewman17's rom is already rooted, so in TWRP all you have to do is flash the zip file then afterwards (optional: flash your mods) then wipe cache and dalvik, and reboot, that is all it should take, you don't need to be on H6 H9, ABC123, it doesn't matter, /System gets completely replaced, remember, flash the full Rom link I sent, don't "flash" an OTA zip file in TWRP where ever you may be getting some OTA file from.

Also make sure the download wasn't bad either lol.

Also just to let you know, there is no 4.04.1700.10 firmware either, no changes were made.
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pclewis:
Viper,

As you pointed out, sometimes we forget why we root and do custom recovery, not to mention S=Off. You are also correct about occasional bad downloads. I think this phone has seen a combo of upgrades with OTA or flash using stock recovery and flash with TWRP. I am sure there is a file that did not follow everything and had a incorrect version, hence the failure of H9 to H10 update with both OTA and flash suing stock recovery. I just did the full H10 with TWRP and all is well. I was little concerned about losing data and apps this close to changing phones. Don't know why I worry given I have TWRP and Titanium BU, my main reason for rooting since I don't do to much ROM experimenting.

I had two HTC's after the Galaxy Nexus. Decided to go back to the Nexus 6p. A little big, but I like the simplicity of things with Nexus. First action will be to unlock the boot loader. HTC unlock and root is a PITA. But once it is done and with S=off it will make a good backup and overseas SIM Phone. Android 6.0 will probably be the last upgrade and I will wait for the flash version. After that will take it to CM or whatever. My M7 is on CM and it works fine as an extra phone.

So now I am at H10 with no upgrade notices. Thanks for the help and prodding me on. Not an expert, but getting better with your good advice. I await the M8 Android 6.0 and the new Nexus 6p. BTW I am a 73 year old geek and this stuff keeps my brain active.

Phil
[One (M8) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Viper4713:
Well your personal phone setup won't change if you flash /System(ROM) because everything you do is stored in /Data, /System only changes for either very small stuff like "battery.stats" and any mods you flash.

So simply make a backup in TWRP to make sure just in case the bad luck monster is in town and flash these updated ROMs without wiping /Data, this is how I've been doing it for years.

I avoid OTA files also because you don't exactly know what files have changed, so for example a certain mod you might have flashed may require 3 or so files changed and the OTA may overwrite only 1 of them.

So it begins to just get all out of whack.

I recently moved my Nandroid backup to my PC to free up space on my phone. Now, once I place it in BACKUPS in TWRP it doesn't show up when I go to restore it. I'm not sure what it is I'm missing. Could someone help me with this?
[One (M9) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grim489:
You may be missing the folder in the backups folder. I think it's usually the serial number of your phone? Easiest way to create it again would be to back up your current boot.img or something small. Then move the backup from your PC to the folder that backup is in. You know what I mean?

Yep that's it. In the backups folder there is another folder that has the backups in it. It is the same as your serial number.

Also how can I disable the "Can't use flash while on low battery" for the camera application? Is that its trying to save battery or that there isn't enough voltage? My old phone could use the flash when ever...

[Galaxy S6 Edge Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] static416:
Is there any way, even with rooting or a ROM, to disable this stupid GPS notification?

I completely understand that it's trying to tell me that an application is occasionally using the GPS in the background, but it's irritating and unnecessary. I don't care that something is using the GPS. I'm fine with it. Stop telling me every few minutes.

My last two devices were Nexus phones and they don't bother popping up a notification unless an application is attempting to maintain a continuous GPS lock. That makes way more sense.

So is there a ROM that offers the ability to turn off these GPS notifications? Or some method of disabling the notification that doesn't involve stopping the applications from using GPS.

Download a radio, such as THIS ONE.......extract the files to a folder then run the program with your device attached via USB. Select 'force sspl' and flash as normal.

Once your device is working...tunr it off then read the wiki for a few days since the instructions in shogunmark's last post should have been very clear to you. If you had read up before trying to flash a device you would have saved potentially damaging your device permenently.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] mindstormer:
I have an SGH-i337 and had an MDL bootloader before moving to Cyanogenmod and then moved on to OC3 bootloader (stock Android 5.0.1). With OC3 bootloader, I did some google search but couldn't find a way to get a custom bootloader as well as root so I can flash into another ROM (the last time I did any unlocking, flashing, and rooting was ~ 2 years ago and methods/tools have changed so I'm not sure what my best options are right now). I read that TWRP doesn't work for newer bootloaders such as OC3 because loki is patched. Any advice/guidance will be much appreciated.

Thank you!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] Undefined Origin:
Safestrap is going to be your only option I believe
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] creepyncrawly:
On MDL, the boot loader could be by-passed with loki, but everything since MDL, including OC3 has a locked bootloader and you are limited to stock kernel. Safestrap allows custom roms that are touchwiz based but no AOSP type roms. Also safestrap only works on 4.4.4 and below, not on 5.0.1. No root method has been discovered or posted for stock 5.0.1, but there is a keeproot upgrade method, so if you want to root, flash back to nb1, and then use the keeproot method.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] mindstormer:
So even if I flash back to nb1, I can only root it and not be able to flash to either Google Edition or Cyanogenmod (both if which are my ideal ROMs)? Could I not flash back to MDL, unlock the bootloader + root it, then flash to either of these two ROMs?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] levi5150tx:
No now they have nc1 flash for 5.0.1 look at the i337 thread in xda
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] mindstormer:
So I am essentially stuck with the stock AT&T Touchwiz ROM forever unless something like SafeStrap is available for OC3 bootloader? I'd do anything for being able to flash to Cyanogenmod or Google Play Edition--can't believe I flashed to an updated stock ROM by accident and now I lose all ability to flash to a custom ROM...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] creepyncrawly:
Yeah, it sucks and I feel your pain. But you are essentially correct. If you want to stay on Lollipop, then that's pretty much it.

You could flash back to nb1, root and install Safestrap, update to nj4, or install a custom TW based rom on 4.4.4.

You could flash back to nb1, root and use the keeproot method back to OC3, and then at least you'd have rooted Lollipop.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] mindstormer:
Thanks for the clarification--I'll check periodically to see if anything is available for OC3/NB1.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] DankHeals:
The only GPE ROM I've seen work on this phone is the dandvh 4.4.4 one and even then a few things were buggy. Though I enjoyed it.

iB4stid posted goldeneye v53 which is 5.0.1 for our phone which is pre-rooted and deodexed . It's still TouchWiz based, but with it being pre-rooted and deodexed you can use arter97's workaround and get Xposed working!

And lastly, you can use safestrap while on OC3, You just have to flash an Nj4 kernel in Odin, boot to safestrap, perform your actions, and then flash OC3 kernel back so lollipop will boot.

There are instructions for it on here somewhere. I would check in the "general" section. Sorry for not linking it, I'm on mobile.

Don't tell me to just use the OK2 ROM and bootloader because when I used that to upgrade to Goldeneye I actually lost root access and had to go all the way back to NB1 and that's where I am now.

Try hard resetting your phone with the help of stock recovery.

(It'll delete everything on your phone)

Follow below steps;

Step 1- Power off your device and wait for 5-10 seconds until the device is fully switched off.

Step 2 – Press and hold ‘Volume Down + Power’ buttons together and release them as soon as you see the LG logo on your phone’s screen.

Step 3 – Now immediately press and hold the ‘Volume Down + Power’ buttons again until you see the ‘Hard reset screen’

Step 4 – Press power button once and then again to confirm hard reset. If you have a custom recovery installed, your phone won’t hard reset and will boot into recovery mode.

Step 5 – Use Volume buttons to navigate Up and Down between options and use Power button to select an option.

If you found this helpful, there's a thumbs up button, just press it ;)
