Since you already have trwp, you will have to update manually (unless you flash the stock recovery and wait for the ota, but who knows how long that will take). I would download the 80i image and just flash system.img and boot.img. That should be the equivalent of you getting the ota. Reboot and confirm that it will boot and you are on the new build. Then follow OPs instruction to root and/or decrypt.

Download, Extract everything.

Fastboot flash system system.img

fastboot flash boot boot.img

Reboot, check OP for further instruction.
[Nexus 5X General] chickentech:
This worked for me too - I tried to:

>adb push supersu.zip /system/

... Then in TWRP install -> select /system/supersu.zip

But this failed for some reason... However, this worked:

>adb sideload supersu.zip

Then reboot, and restore :) Thanks a lot! Didn't want to give up encryption either...
[Nexus 5X General] Camp As A Champ:
Will I be able to do this through TWRP or should I just use ADB to flash the image files? Sorry for all the questions, this is my first nexus phone and I'm getting used to all the new methods

Nevermind, got everything to work, thanks for the help though
[Nexus 5X General] dbrohrer:
No worries. The image that you download from Google has to be flashed via the fastboot command with your phone in the bootloader. Similar to how you flashed twrp initially. When you download it, you extract it, then extract the zip inside the archive again. At that point you should see system.img, boot.img, recovery.img, cache.img, and userdata.img. since it's a minor update, boot and system is all you need. If this was a major update (like 5.1 to 6.0), it might be better to flash each img to its respective partition.

There is a thread in 5x Android Development where someone has packaged the system.img and boot.img into a flashable file that you can flash through trwp. I cannot confirm that the zip works properly because I have not flashed that particular zip myself. I did download it and the file looks correct. It should work fine. If you go this route, twrp will prompt you to flash supersu afterwards. DO NOT FLASH SUPERSU THIS WAY. It will bootloop your phone. It will say something like "swipe to install root / Supersu." Choose "do not install" and then reboot the phone. Once it boots up, check settings, about and confirm your new build number. Then check op and root that way.

If you are more comfortable in twrp, go with option number two. Just don't root via twrp's built in implementation. It will bootloop your phone.

If something I said doesn't make sense, let me know. I'm happy to help.

What carrier are you using? Was mda89f on your phone when you got it or have you done 2 otas already?
[Nexus 5X General] dbrohrer:
I'm on AT&T in the US. I do not know if I had 89e or 89f out of the box. I looked but I don't remember now. I only received one ota to mdb80i.
[Nexus 5X General] andresee:
Ok cool. I had an ota for 89F but used I when i rooted... Just wondering thanks
[Nexus 5X General] Camp As A Champ:
Alright so I got TWRP on my phone and installed SuperSU, but when I try and do anything in TWRP it doesn't let me and tells me that E: Unable to Mount

Should I go back to normal recovery and try again, or should I just do the decrypted way?
[Nexus 5X General] dbrohrer:
Hmm.. You can try to mount the system before attempting to flash anything. Just go to mount from the main twrp screen and check system.

You now also have another option now as well. Cleancore (in Android Development) is a great rom. Vomer is a great dev. I ran cleancore on my nexus 6 for a long time and never had any issues.
[Nexus 5X General] dah328:
I followed these instructions with the addition of a poorly-chosen reboot between unlocking the bootloader and flashing the modified boot.img. Because it wiped the phone when unlocking the bootloader, it booted up into the initial setup mode. I skipped through all the screens thinking I'd do another factory reset after finishing the root process to restore all my settings and apps. I finished the root process and confirmed that I had root, but when I attempt to factory reset the phone, I see it reboot into TWRP briefly with some message about wiping a partition and then continue the boot into the phone's previous state of when I'd skipped through all the setup screens.

Is there a way to get it to really reset the phone or restore my apps and settings. Setting them all up from scratch would be a real pain.

---------- Post added at 04:57 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:27 PM ----------

In case anyone else runs into this, I noticed that TWRP was complaining about being unable to mount /data so I tried re-flashing the stock recovery. Once I did that, I was able to factory reset the phone while retaining root.
[Nexus 5X General] rustybathtub:
Can i use this method without flashing twrp at all using adb push supersu to system and adb sideload supersu.zip? Will it work?
[Nexus 5X General] kbbeer:
OP - Thanks guide worked perfectly. Could you add the steps to update from i to l and then m?
[Nexus 5X General] dmudd:
I haven't done any rooting in a long time so I have some questions before I start out doing this.

First, as I understand it, the following explicit steps will let me obtain root:

1. fastboot oem unlock

2. fastboot flash boot boot.img // Chainfire boot image

3. fastboot flash recovery twrp*.img // I have version 2.8.7.2 for bullhead from their website

4. fastboot reboot

5. Reboot into TWRP

6. Mount /system/

7. adb push supersu.zip /system/ // I have version 2.46

8. Install supersu.zip from TWRP

9. Reboot

Is this correct? Also, does 'fastboot oem unlock' erase user data? If I run this command will I have to set everything back up like installing apps and restoring messages or pictures? Sorry if the question sounds dumb, but I really would rather not have to set everything back up right now.
[Nexus 5X General] dorqus:
Yes, fastboot oem unlock will wipe your phone - photos, text messages, music, etc. Best bet is to do this before you setup the phone (I couldn't as I didn't have a USB A to USB C cable/adapter when I got my phone) so I had to deal with restoring everything - what a nightmare :(

You also may want a newer version of SuperSU as well, use version 2.52 - that worked for me just fine when installing from TWRP 2.8.7.2 (2.56 did NOT work)
[Nexus 5X General] mu3g:
Hi there,

I'm not sure why you need step 4. You don't have to boot into the system. If I'm not mistaken, you can boot directly into recovery using fastboot reboot recovery. And also use SuperSu v2.52 with TWRP 2.8.7.2. There are custom boot images for your version on this thread: http://xdaforums.com/nexus-5x/general/guides-how-to-guides-beginners-t3206930 - see post 143.
[Nexus 5X General] CrazyPeter:
I have a question, how secure is my phone with TWRP installed? Can someone just boot into that, bypassing PINS and fingerprints, and just copy whatever data they want?

If so, doesn't this somewhat make the fingerprint scanner on the 5x useles
[Nexus 5X General] briggl:
Hey guys, I'm trying to root my phone by only booting into TWRP but not flashing it. Unfortunately, I always end up in a boot loop with either the adb push *.zip /system/ and with the sideload method.

I always flashed back to stock when I ended up in a boot loop and tried to root again without success. I do managed to get root access by flashing the recovery, however, i want to stay with the stock recovery and don't wanna flash it.

So my Question is, is there a root method without actually flashing the recovery? and is there a way to get rid of the open bootloader warning when booting? I thought the modified boot image would also do that.
[Nexus 5X General] CrazyPeter:
Found my own answer, you still need the password to decrypt the phone from twrp, so data is secure
[Nexus 5X General] perusmuro:
Why this 2. fastboot flash boot boot.img // Chainfire boot image is needed? I read that 2.8.7.2 version support decrypting.
[Nexus 5X General] ajpettit:
The password that twrp asks for where can I find it? Also is oem lock possible after root has been achieved?
[Nexus 5X General] chickentech:
Don't relock the bootloader. No need to do so (you gain nothing) and it will brick the device if you do so after modifying the boot.
[HTC Tornado] alexmw:
Hi All, I upgraded my tornado to WM6 successfully today. Everything works fine except accessing my contacts. When i press the contacts button on main screen nothing happens! If i try getting to my contacts via the start key also nothing happens. I'm using Sprite Backup 5.2 and performed a backup and restore as described on the sprite website below.

Can anybody please assist me with this? Thanks, Alex.

http://spritesoftware.crmdesk.com/answer.aspx?id=329
[HTC Tornado] NiTroGenious:
Did you backup in WM5 and restore in WM6? Overwriting WM6 registry with the WM5 one isn't such a good idea. Hard reset your phone and restore ONLY My Documents, Email and Personal Databases, NOT the System Data!!!
[HTC Tornado] DSF:
WM5's pim.vol is not compatible with WM6

you should:

- reinstall WM5

- restore backup

- backup with PIMbackup ( http://www.dotfred.net/ )

- install WM6

- restore with PIMbackup

PIMbackup is a PPC application, but works also on smartphones
[HTC Tornado] netsyd:
You backed it using the old version of Sprite Backup which was not compatible with WM6. Sprite Backup 6 can/should be able to handle the ROM upgrade... at this point the option DSF gave you is your best bet to solve the problem ... either that or you can roll back to WM5, restore your information then upgrade to Sprite6 and try it again.
[HTC Tornado] alexmw:
Ok, Thanks guys i'll do as suggested by DSF. Thanks for the help!

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S6] wil318466:
I had two s5's. I immediately jumped all over this deal. I now can sell my old S5 and pocket the money. Used one S5 and got an S6. VERY happy with the S6. Did not get the tablet (don't need one, and I'm def not going to pay 10 bucks a month in data for a device I don't need). Salesperson seemed dissapointed I wasn't getting the free tablet. He tried 3 times to get me to change my mind. Also tried to sell me a 100 dollars case, I laughed at him. He then tried to sell me a 40 dollar case which I simply didn't like. I got the bodyglove for 14 dollars (which I actually preferred).

By the way : to qualify for this deal you need to have your s5 totally paid off. In my case I still owed some money so I forked it over and paid it and got the upgrade. My bill will be cheaper now every month.

Very happy with this deal.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] eyesofice:
a good ap to save battery power is called battery doctory.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] spexwood:
Google Play Services (which I will abbreviate as GPS) began sucking a lot more battery than usual on my phone as of a week ago. GPS updates automatically and silently install without your knowledge every few weeks. Occassionally, they introduce a bug and everyone's phone begins freaking out, seemingly like magic. I think the latest version may have some sort of bug, but it's hard to tell for sure.

First, what version of GPS was installed on your phone? Go to settings-applications-all-Google Play Services and look at the version number under the app name.

The latest version is 8.3.00.

One way to see if the app version is bugged is to uninstall the updates and see if the battery life improves. With updates uninstalled, your Google apps will basically be useless though. This technique isn't fool proof though, because at any time, GPS may update itself again. This also means that you can't downgrade, because the app will update without your knowledge.

Try uninstalling updates to see if your battery improves. If it does, try using it like normal until GPS updates itself. At that point, battery drain should kick up again.

PS: Are you using any Android Wear?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note 4] UrbanLagoon:

Okay, I really have some files i need to take from my samsung galaxy i9000. its not on the memory card, but on the phone itself.

the screen is broken, so its all muddy and you cant really see anything but when i connect phone usb cable with pc i manage to click the button that said "connect to pc" or something like that. i couldn't really see what it says, but i know i need to do this and after that i can access all my files.

but when i tried today, first i couldnt unlock my phone because i forgot my pattern. and now im stuck to a point where i cant even guess my patern anymore because it only promts that screen to enter gmail user and pw. so what can i do now? all i want to do is access some files on my pc. it does show on pc like "removable disk (F)" but when i try to enter it, it says please insert a disk into removable disk f. now thats what usually happens and after i click connect to pc on my phone, it works. but now i cant do that because my phone is locked and i cant really type my user and password because i cant see much on the screen.

is there any way out? i tried droid screen with adb, but it doesnt recognize it. i also installed samsung kies and it wont recognize it either, i guess usb deburging mode is probably not on.

[Other SmartWatches] kaleamity:
I'm only posting here because both devices involved are smartwatches.

I have 2 android 4.4 watches that have gestures built in. The lack of soft-keys on the device prompted the devs to add 2 gestures.

1. swiping right to left acts as a back key. However the gesture recognition causes my swipe keyboard to wig out as well as the homescreen to lock and drag a specific icon around the homescreen forever.

2. swiping left to right acts a menu key. Works okay but this unfortunately feels backwards to me. My last device I had custom gestures set up allowing recent apps key (replacing menu key in most devices) to be right to left.

Where in the stock rom/android aosp would you be able to edit this?

If not possible how can I block these gestures?

Pretty specific question, so any help would be appreciated.

I apologize if this is in the wrong section.

Hello everyone. I am getting ready to transfer service from att back to big red and am probably going to end up with the G4, and was wondering what the development is like on this phone. Does CM have any development moving forward to the device, anyone working on a rooted/debloated/fixed ROM. I know the device only just got root this summer, so I know it takes time to get these things, but just wondering if anything is at least in the works.
[Verizon LG G4] S1L3nTShaDoWz:
A bootloader unlock is made and will be released soon, BUT it is only available to the first known software available upon launch, any updates since then ruin it. So basically...you will not be able to BL unlock your device if you buy it now, meaning no ROMs or anything besides root stuff. Also, there are no ROMs available or anything yet for the VZW G4.

And by the way, I highly advise against coming back to VZW if you like Roms and that stuff, Verizon locks everything down and they suck!
