[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] justineldracher:
OK, so I'm fairly new to Android, but I've got a rooted Moto X Pure 2015 and I just updated TWRP earlier today. My problem is that my phone keeps bugging me to install security updates (the September 2016 patch, I think), but whenever I try, it fails. I've attached a screenshot from TWRP. Now I've done some research into this already, and from what I saw, OTA updates only work for unmodified devices, and since I've got TWRP as my recovery, it doesn't work. I've got stock Android 6.0, not a custom ROM, so I think all I'd have to do is unroot in SuperSu, and then flash the stock recovery with fastboot. If so, where can I find the stock recovery image?

At the moment I'm trying to avoid wiping my SD card, so if there's no way to install the update without re-installing the OS, can someone at least tell me how to disable the daily reminders to install the updates?
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jason2678:
You can get the stock recovery from the firmware thread.

This phone is picky about OTAs. I once fastboot flashed my phone back to pure stock, no /boot or /system modifications. However, I didn't reflash logo, that's it. I left the modified one on that doesn't show the scary bootloader unlocked warning, and the OTA failed to apply.

You can use titanium backup or a similar app to freeze the moto update service if you're rooted and you'd like to stop getting nagged.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] justineldracher:
Alright, thanks for the link! If restoring the stock recovery doesn't fix it, how would I go about reflashing the logo? My current bootloader looks something like this:

Is that the stock one? Thanks for the tip about freezing the update service, hadn't thought of that.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jason2678:
Can't tell from the bootloader screen.

Do you still see the unlocked bootloader warning instead of a moto logo on a white background when you turn on your phone? If you're unlocked and rooted and your phone doesn't greet you with a blinding white screen with scary text about the bootloader being unlocked immediately after you power it on, then you've replaced logo.bin. It is easy to revert. Just download a full firmware package from that thread and a stock logo.bin will be one of the files in it.

I just wanted you to know how thorough this phone is about checking for modifications before applying OTAs. I thought with unmodified boot, system, and recovery I'd be all set. The only thing that wasn't stock was the logo partition, and it still blocked me.

It is safe enough to try once you're fully unrooted and as stock as you can get. Just make sure

fastboot erase cache

is in your bag of tricks in case you stuck in an update failed to apply loop. That will delete the OTA Blur*.zip so your phone stops trying to apply it.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] justineldracher:
Oh, yes, I see the moto logo on a white background, so it sounds like I would have to replace it. Thanks for clearing that up.

Yeah, I've had that looping problem before and took care of it by using the file manager in TWRP to delete the update. Good to know the code though. :good:

:[/QUOTE]Can a few of you help me with this and give me advice, suggestions, or tell me how you handle all of these app update requests? Thank you for your time and hopefully a good sample of answers. :fingers-crossed:[/QUOTE]

My personal opinion only.

I would take all updates, there are reasons behind updates. Otherwise certain apps will not work properly or cause hiccups.

Did you uninstall certain apps, bloatware?

It can you uninstalling apps but their embedded specifically to your software.

Again, I would definitely keep updates. There good for your health..Lol

I hope, I helped you in some way..

Yes, I took out some very offensive bloatware and egregious apps that refused to sleep or exit, namely Go SMS Pro, the worst offender. I will prune the stuff I don't need and let the rest update. Thanks! :highfive:

Modified

Hi!

Motorola Style X is not updated since May.

The bootloader: Software status modified

During boot says Bootloader is unlocked, but in bootloader write locked, status code 2

How do I set to original?

Sorry for my english!

Thank you!
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acejavelin:
You can't change your status... But your bootloader status has nothing to do with receiving an OTA.

Manually flashing a full factory image gets you to unmodified or official status 50% of the time, but receiving an OTA on a otherwise stock device often changes the status to official.

As far as the bootloader unlock screen showing, if you have ever unlocked the bootloader, it will always show even if relocked. You can mask it by flashing a custom logo intended for that purpose.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bill720:
no hurry to update apps

That's a fair question, especially given that the default is to automatically update without prompting the user. In all my years with Android, I've never allowed automatic updates. My strategy is to check into the Marketplace once every month or two and just manually update a few apps at a time. There need not be any rush.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chmcke01:
Sorry for this SUPER noob question...I rooted and ran custom ROMs on both the SGS2 and SGS4 without issue but both of those had clear cut instructions on the XDA forums. Basically "to get from completely stock to running a custom ROM do 1, 2, 3, 4."

I am having trouble finding something like that for this phone. I am having issues with slowness and other weird issues and just wanted to give a custom ROM a try (preferably Nougat) before I throw in the towel and just buy a new phone.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ohmster:
Thank you. It is very nice to hear that I am not alone with being suspicious about so many apps that "require", ...updating. I have seen many apps that refuse to sleep when you exit the app. Imagine you open a Calculator app, do your work, close the app. The app has no legitimate reason to remain open and running in memory with no UI for the user to access. But almost every game (Really, every single one, I would be hard pressed to find one that doesn't perform this suspicious activity.) once exited, remains alive and running in memory. And then out of the blue I get ads in the status bar. Or my browsing habits are studied, or I now get popups on my own phone. On app I have used for years, Go SMS Pro went rouge with it's 6.0 release. I did not like the new UI and this app was not sleeping when exited. I used Greenify to put the app to sleep when I am finished with it. It got so bad that Greenify could not kill the app, Titanium Backup could not kill the app, and not even App Info in Settings would kill the app! ONLY freezing the app in Titanium Backup then killing the running process in App Info would stop this rogue app from running. Uninstalled immediately and switched to Textra.

This is why I am so suspicious of apps needing constant updates. I suspect at the very least, they are updating to rotate in app ads with new ones as the in app ads cannot be blocked. At worse, they are building their armor to one day become arrogant and refusing to close, ...ever.

Here is an interesting experiment you can try. Install any popular game on your phone, open the app and play for a minute. Close the app. Go to /Settings/App Info and see if it indeed did close or is now an orphaned process that continues to run. Uninstall app. I bet you find plenty. Same thing for "pushy" apps that hound you for ratings, they do the same thing. Give them a BAD rating. That is my ultimate revenge and it works. The last developer I did this to was for The Lamp game and he said he "gets it" but try to understand that he must make money. ..really! It is comical, see for yourself.

You cannot miss it, I softened my critique and gave him two stars. Ha ha. Deceptive advertising is no excuse that you need to make money. Shame! What ever happened to asking for a donation if you like the app or publishing a demo and the full game with cost on play store instead of all this deception? Thanks for the honest feedback, friend. :good:
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ohmster:
Actually the Moto X Pure Edition is a mighty fine phone. You have a 1.8 GHz 6 core CPU and 3 GB of RAM. My MXP hardly ever lags, but it might for a brief moment, I wake the screen sometimes and see an inverted black screen that quickly corrects itself, but not often. However the stock ROM and launcher are not tolerable of modifications, you might want to do a factory reset to get your power back and then modify your phone, carefully next time. So far as roms go, I really have not seen any that are worth installing. The ones I have seen may offer some nice features but will have something that is not working in the rom. Although I have not tried it, rumor has it that Majisk has lots of nice features, root and su hide, and other nice features. Instead of installing a rom with defects, I have changed the launcher away from the stock Google Now launcher and installed Nova Prime, a BIG improvement as the stock launcher would crash with Xposed modules like Gravity Box installed. But not with Nova. That plus a half dozen really good Xposed modules and this phone does everything I want, no need for a rom.

As far as root goes, it is not that difficult and there are lots of threads here on XDA with good how to guides and member help. Simple enough, unlock bootloader, download TWRP and install with USB from a computer and adb commands. The instructions are right on the TWRP recovery image web site, here. Download and Install TWRP for the MXP.

If you want to go with Majisk, use the built in root that comes with Majisk, otherwise download SuperSU to phone, flash in TWRP, done! TWRP is a *must* on this phone as it is your sole mode of recovery, flashing root, making and restoring backups, and then install your Xposed modules.

I did not realize this at first and insisted I need a rom like CM12 which never happened since no developer has an MXP and wants to write a rom for it. The thread asked me point blank what do I "need" a rom for. I could not give a good answer other than I "thought" I needed one. But with Nova Prime installed with Xposed modules, I now have everything I need. If you want more than that I would suggest you try Majisk. My friend has it and has raved about it. Majisk does have some really nice features and plays quite well with the MXP. Hope this helps.

I initially had the same problem you did because I really thought that without a custom rom, the phone would never be any good. Once I gave up on forcing mods on my phone that did not work out and installed what I really needed, I now have a very pleasurable experience with my Moto X Pure Edition. :good:
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bill720:
an excellent distinction

Well, it depends on if it's just sitting idle in memory or if it's actually running in the background. If you're switching between your email and web browser, for example, one thing you definitely don't want is for the phone to close the web browser when you're not looking at it, because you would then have to wait for the program to open and load your tabs all over again upon switching back to it. That's what memory is for.

That said, some buggy applications don't always sleep elegantly. The only noteworthy example of this that I've ever seen is with SlingPlayer, which occasionally will wakelock if it isn't force-closed and keep the phone up, even when it's supposed to be sleeping. Wakelock Detector is a good tool for discovering what applications are causing trouble in this way.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ohmster:
The rouge apps are running in memory. Force Stop them if you can i App Info but like I said, some rouge apps will NEVER quite and sleep by any means.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bill720:
Wakelock Detector FTW

The best way to tell the difference and get to the bottom of the issue is with Wakelock Detector. You can "force stop" a lot of things, but it's futile since you'd just have to fire them back up again anyway in order to use them. It is best to know for sure.

Recently the Android 7.1.1 update came out for the Moto x pure. If i manually flashed Android 6.0, stock and I am using a vpn, will the Android 7 update come to my phone?
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ohmster:
I doubt it, but the only real way to know is if you have gotten other OTA updates before. I know there is a December patch that I cannot take because it trashes my Bluetooth so I restored back to before I installed it. Did you get any updates before on that phone? If so then you will be offered Nougat when it releases for your rom. :fingers-crossed:

---------- Post added at 09:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:47 PM ----------

Friends, all you need to do is just flash the stock recovery from the extracted firmware file you have using "mfastboot flash recovery recovery. Zip" . That'll replace twrp for the time being. So far as i know from my last Moto e device, CUSTOM RECOVERY WOULDN'T HELP PATCHES UPDATE! DON'T KNOW THE REASON. YOU CAN RE-FLASH YOUR TWRP LATER.

Any idea where to get started with rooting this device?(I have the pure, XT1575) I know there's a guide but I'm not sure if it still holds since the post is pretty old. Also, in case of soft bricking the device, how can I make sure my device is backed up? Any help will be gladly appreciated.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jason2678:
The basic steps are unlock bootloader, flash TWRP with fastboot, make a backup in TWRP, then flash systemless root with TWRP. The backup part is very important, so just in case something goes wrong you don't end up posting yet another "help my phone is stuck at the M logo" thread on here. The systemless root part is important for the same reason.

The Heisenberg thread is still good for setting up adb/fastboot, unlocking the bootloader, and installing TWRP. Everything up to rooting is ok. Do not use the root method it recommends for M. It is very outdated there.

At this point the easiest and best way to root is to flash Magisk in TWRP. Reboot into system and install Magisk manager from the play store. You might have to reboot once more to get things settled, but that should do it.

Shame on heisenberg

He's still an active user, so shouldn't he be updating these posts as the software matures? If it's a "beginner's guide," irrelevant information will only serve to confuse those beginners.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jason2678:
The guide is a great write-up. Just needs to be updated to use systemless SuperSU or magisk. It would be great of that happened.

Lots of people still mess with that ivcarlos method because it's in the guide and end up losing WiFi because the boot image doesn't match their firmware (and they've usually neglected to make proper backups.)

I don't know why I always have such a hard time finding this, but can someone point me in the direction of where to get the latest version of superuser? I'm currently running the latest nightly of LineageOS so I just want to throw a little su on top of that.

Also, after I do that, is there still an app I can install to block ads? (been out of the rooting/flashing game for a few years so I feel lost)
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acejavelin:
I haven't used LineageOS since it was CM, but isn't root baked into the ROM? It used to be all you did was go to Developer Options and set Root Access to Apps and ADB and you were done, but maybe that has changed.

The original SuperUser died a long time ago, July 13, 2012, the author officially released the final version and halted development. - Source

Today, most people use SuperSU or Magisk...

Both have pluses and minuses. SuperSU has been the "standard" su for nearly 5 years now and it is an excellent root method, available from (shockingly) https://www.supersu.com. It is rock solid, dependable, and considered the "standard" method by most people, but it doesn't have some of the fancy features like Magisk Hide that allows the device to pass a SafetyNet check.

Magisk is the new kid on the block, it has grown quickly since it has a huge series of approved plugins to do all kinds of stuff, including bypass SafetyNet detection. It is quickly becoming a favorite among many people. More info is here: https://xdaforums.com/apps/magisk

Both work well, and either will do the job for most people.

As far as root ad bypass... Adblock Plus or Adaway both work well. If you took a vote the results would likely be 50/50, so take your pick (I prefer Adblock Plus, mainly because I use it in Chrome, not because I necessarily have proof it's better).
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aybarrap1:
As a user of adaway, I can vouch it works well. In the end it is really up to you which adblocker you like better.

However, there is an option for devices without root: DNS66. I read this for some time on unrooted devices and it works pretty well. It has to run as a service but it is pretty light in RAM usage.
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] imail724:
Thank you for the info! Looks like when you go into developer options in Lineage you can grant root access, but only for ADB, not apps.

I think I'll probably install supersu, but what is safetynet and what is the benefit of bypassing it?
[X Style (Pure) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acejavelin:
SafetyNet is the API that apps use to see if your device is modified... It is a mandatory piece of Google Play Services and you cannot uninstall or remove it without breaking all Google services on your device, and it is updated constantly without your consent. Your device creates a "token" that summarizes your hardware and software configuration, submits it to a database Google maintains asking basically "This is who and what I am, and what I have installed. Pass me if I am stock or fail me if I have been modified.", and then gets a pass or fail response from Google's SafetyNet database. (Extremely simplified version)

Almost all banking apps, Pokemon Go, Mario Go, Android Pay, Netflix (new addition), and many others use this API basically to check if your device is stock, not rooted or running a custom ROM, if the check fails the app won't work. This has become a real issue as of late. It used to be if you were on a custom ROM the app might not work and a few might see if the su binary existed and fail but otherwise apps didn't care what you had done to your device, but today if you are on a custom ROM, rooted, or in some cases just have the bootloader unlocked but the device is otherwise unmodified, many apps will flat out refuse to work.
