Can I install OTA update using phone after unlocked bootloader ? - OnePlus 3T Questions & Answers

The situation is like this :
I want to restore data of apps and games from my Galaxy Note 4 to my new Oneplus 3T using titanium backup. So I think maybe I can unlock Oneplus 3T > root it > restore data using Titanium > unroot > Relock . Just then I know relock will erase all of your data. So now, the plan will only be Unlock Oneplus 3T > root it > restore data using Titanium > unroot > Relock .
I want to keep my phone unroot because some games did not run when rooted. Currently, my phone is Marshmallow 6.0 . I do want to update to Android N 7.0 . So can I apply the OTA update (without custom recovery) through my phone after unrooted but unlocked bootloader ?

I recommend the use of Magisk to hide root from your games and banking apps and you can play the games and have root at the same time.
Just unlock the bootloader
Flash twrp
Flash magisk
Install and restore Titanium backup
Restore your app/game data or copy paste the obb
Use Magisk manager to hide root from your desired games and banking apps
Play the game as usual

Thanks for replying. I will consider it but can I know whether it is possible or not if I want to keep stock recovery. Just wondering...

I dont know why everyone doesn't use magisk lol. And OP im sure you can flash stock recovery back on after everything else if you really want to.

If I am not mistaken, when you are rooted, you can flash the OTA files via twrp, then flash SuperSu to gain root again.
But my area currently having a super slow internet connection :laugh: but then I think I can just download those OTA files and wait... . Ahhhh.. I really want to keep phone rooted. Want to explore everything like in previous Sammy phone.

Can't you just get the full rom files from xda or oneplus forums and flash them manually? It seems like a lot of messing about just for OTA, your internet can't be THAT slow.

See if you want to stay completely stock and just want to restore the game data just unlock stay stock and copy the obb files from Samsung to OP and stay stock with stock recovery to get and flash ota updates.

I'm currently rooted and have just had the OTA message. How do I update to 7.11 without losing root?

I don't know much about magisk. Never use it before. Now it look interesting. I think I want to try it. Can you clarify a little bit about magisk, and things I need to know before flashing it and maybe... the procedure flashing it

You need to download a full update from oneplus website (eg : http://downloads.oneplus.net/devices/oneplus-3t/). The files must exceed 1gb or more.
Then you need to flash it using Twrp. Then re-root by flashing SuperSU .

Yes. I've done restored data and updated to android 7.1.1.
After restored data, I unrooted and flash stock recovery
Reboot my phone into recovery mode, flash the update files via install from internal data . Just a summary. :laugh:

That version SuperSU 2.46 is ancient, like 2015 Lollipop era! Root methods constantly change, and you need to use a relatively current SuperSU version.
I've applied 2 updates now (while rooted, unlocked bootloader), without a hitch using Funk Wizard's guide and SuperSU 2.79.

[GAPPS] 64 Bit Slim Gapps

Now that you installed TWRP or another custom recovery, here is a working GAPPS for Xiaomi Note Pro, this one so far works
perfectly, do not rely on manual install version as they are missing key lib and framework files.

Most important question to ask, i new to xiao mi environment,
Let say i install the developer rom, anytime i can download the stable rom and update over? While installing do i need clean data or the rom?
Do i need like use twrp to backup the stock rom first or something?
need your advice bro, and how about the recovery? as i know use flashify to backup and restore, as stock rom doesnt not have root yet, so cant backup as well.
Thanks if you can give me assurance

You won't get TWRP on without developer rom first as it fails through fastboot. The only method is using Flashify. Best thing is staying with developer rom as it is stable, had no problem at all with it. You will also receive weekly updates. Just don't flash TWRP because the updates will brake it needs to be stock recovery. You can install the developer rom by downloading it onto your phone and installing it using the Updater app on your phone. Once you have activated it the root permissions a bit strange. First what you have to do is open app that required root permissions, close the app then go to Security App>Permissions>Root Access and select the app. Yes you can flash the stock rom back at any time but you will loose root. I'm waiting for Xiaomi to release the Kernel Source, when that happens we will have custom roms such as Cyaongen mod, root methods etc..

TWRP works fine on the stable ROM, you just have to hold the vol up and power button at first boot as you would if you want to go into

I'm rooted and have Xposed : what should i do when there is an OTA update ?

Hi,
So i have a Moto G 2 XT-1068 with Android 5.0.2 and system version 22.21.28.titan_retaildsds.retaildsdsall.ex.03 reteu.
I rooted it and installed Xposed.
Since some days, my phone notify me that there is a new (official) update avalaible :
22.56.3.en.03
My first reflex was to post in the Xposed forum :
I have a Motorola Moto G 2nd edition (2014 XT-1068) with Android 5.0.2 and these xposed versions installed :
XposedInstaller_3.0_alpha4.apk
xposed-v75-sdk21-arm-1
This morning, my phone notify me that there is a newsoftware update available :
22.56.3.en.03
Can i update ?
Will Xposed still running or do i have anything to do before or after update ?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
then :
Yes i'm rooted (i didn't know i could install exposed without root ?!) and i ask the question to rooted users : what is the recommended behavior to have when we are rooted and there is an official update like this one ? Should i ignore it ? Should i wait ? Should i update (with one of your solutions) ?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
and this is the reply i had :
You'll have to ask how an OTA works for that in your device forum.
For Google Android (untouched by OEM) in Kitkat, OTA used to check each important file individually and if one was modified, OTA would fail. This did not check all existing files or added files such as root, so as long as you uninstalled Xposed properly (restoring the original app_process files etc) then an OTA would be fine.
Since Lollipop, OTA checks the /system partition as a single item so any modification in any file, or any additional file will make the OTA fail. In which case, the only way to update would be to flash a stock ROM.
You will need to find out in your device forum which of these applies to your device.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So this is it, i make a post in this Moto G 2014 forum
Doing the OTA will most likely delete the XposedBridge.jar so you will have to flash it again.
Else the Xposed app will still be available but the Framework won't be installed.
If it doesn't update because the /system partition has been modified, you'll have to flash the whole rom to update.
Ok, so i can try without risk ?
And what about my root ?

Root will be gone too. You'll have to root it again by flashing SuperSu Zip though a custom recovery. (TWRP)
Restore the nandroid backup of the stock system you made in TWRP before you rooted.
You also need the stock recovery for the OTA to install.
You made a backup of your system before you rooted, right?

I'm note sure i made a backup before i rooted cause i'm note sure i knew i could install recovery without root but i checked my backup plan and my oldest backup is post root
So, what do you recommand when there is OTA like this ? Should i ignore them ?
It seems to be a hard process (flash stock recovery and root again and not sure if it will be possible anyway, is it ?) for maybe a little update ?
Maybe i should wait for the next big OTA like Android 6, then be sure that a new rooting process exist before update, and also be sure that Xposed will be supported ?
So if i ignore this 22.56.3.en.03, will i be notifyed for others newer OTA (like Android 6 for instance) ?
Thanks

You might have to flash the whole stock firmware back to get the stock recovery. Big waste of time.
Then rooting back means using CF Auto Root Commands again..
You have to update to it though if you want Android 6.0.
Since it won't be soon, you rather go for CM13 once it gets really stable.
Also by the way, Xposed is already supported on MM.
Thanks for these precisions.
So if i can resume : a custom rom is easier for enjoy Android updates than just Xposed.
Hi,
Can you confirm :
For someone searching advanced features like customize status bar, quick settings, shutdown menu, hardware buttons, etc : customs roms and "stock rom + exposed" are two solutions. BUT, for someone searching these same advanced features but also keep his device up to date : custom rom is really a better solution. Isn't?
I was happy when i discovered xposed as it seemed to be a easier process that flashing a custom rom, but i didn't know that i couldn't update easily..
So, what is the advantage to use xposed instead of custom rom?
Hi,
I am always thinking if i will update my stock rooted xposed rom, or if i will install a custom rom prerooted like Cyanogen mod (o have easier future updates).
i have some questions :
1- Is it possible to install xposed and modules on a custom rom like cyanogen mod ? I think yes but can you confirm ?
I know that CM come with inbuilt tweaks but i discover some great xposed module i would continue to use, even if i install CM.
2-If i keep my stock rooted xposed rom, and don't make this "little" Android 5 OTA update, will be i notified for "Android 6" ?
(i don't want to lose my time to reflash my rom, reroot mydevice, etc.., just for a little update, but i could do that for a more important update like Android 6...
3- We are agree that if i flash a custom rom like CM, it will resolve my "ota update" problem, cause there won't be "Motorola OTA" anymore, but there will be CM updates easy to make, isn't ? If yes, what could be the advantage to use stock rom rooted + xposed vs custom rom + xposed ?
Thanks

Need help, Rooted the phone, via twrp, but I wanted to revert back to stock recovery, I try to flash stock recovery with fastboot, then unroot the phone.
Then I try to go to recovery mode, and got to rescue mode.
Turn off phone, and reboot, and start just as I had it with my apps and everything.
But no stock recovery Need your help guys, what sould I do?
Edit: I managed to reinstall TWRP
In future updates, do I have to reinstall stock ? Or TWRP works like stock recovery for updates?
I erase some system apps google, hangouts, etc
Can I factory reset with TWRP, and configure the phone again, or do I need to flash firmware on stock recovery?
Is there a flashable zip for TWRP to downgrade or update firmware?
Sorry for my bad english, noob here!

System Update with Bootloader unlocked via Sunshine

Hello out there I looked for a thread on this subject and I didn't see one so I apologize to the mods if this has been covered.. Anyways today I received a notification for a System update on my Turbo. I haven't tried to install it yet. Right now my bootloader is unlocked via the Sunshine apk I have TWRP installled as my custom recovery and I have root. Basically I'm running stock but rooted. What is the upgrade procedure.

Hello out there I looked for a thread on this subject and I didn't see one so I apologize to the mods if this has been covered.. Anyways today I received a notification for a System update on my Turbo. I haven't tried to install it yet. Right now my bootloader is unlocked via the Sunshine apk I have TWRP installled as my custom recovery and I have root. Basically I'm running stock but rooted. What is the upgrade procedure. I'm pretty sure the update will fail with twrp installed. Is there a set procedure everyone is using... Thanks in advance

Backup apps via titanium backup, and save off the phone. Backup all personal files, pics etc, off the phone. Flash a stock ROM in TWRP, wipe dalvik & cache. Then flash stock '49' recovery using ADB. Power up normally & take update. It should execute flawlessly. You could also flash the stock firmware for marshmallow via RSDlite, but that will wipe your data off the phone. Bootloader will still remain unlocked so you can Flash TWRP back on afterwards. Root can only be restored by flashing a particular beta version in TWRP. Better details and download links in the XDA forum thread for droid turbo.
USE THE TWRP-FLASHABLE VERSION OF UPDATE

Congratulations on having an unlocked bootloader! No need to do all that above, unless you really want. There's also a TWRP-flashable version on that update already posted in this forum. Just flash it in TWRP. It's the full update, minus stock recovery so you can keep TWRP and also flash it in TWRP!
@TheSt33v, who wrote the guide in this forum about unlocking the Droid Turbo bootloader is who posted it, so you can trust it.
[ROM] MCG24.251-5 100% Stock
https://forum.xda-developers.com/droid-turbo/development/rom-mcg24-251-5-100-stock-t3512949
All updates like that will ALWAYS be posted here in various formats. Never any need to take an OTA. That's one of the great things about XDA.

OTA update with rooted device?

Hello all,
so I have a op3t with SuperSU. I was wondering when the android P update comes out eventually will I be able to OTA update and keep root, or will I have to reflash SuperSU(Using temp TWRP environment).

You will definitely have to reflash SuperSU.

What he said. That goes for most updates of most Android devices (need to root again after an update).
Further, a new Android build (particularly a major update, like Oreo to P) will often require updated root methods. Since SuperSU development is basically dead, it may not work on Android P. You may need to move to Magisk root method (not a bad thing).
Best way to apply updates on rooted 3T, is to get it from the following thread and basically follow the install instruction for root users on Post #3 of that same thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3t/how-to/official-oxygenos-5-0-1-android-8-0-t3728119
I would also advise to backup your data before updating, as a clean install (wipe data) is not unheard of (possibly even recommended), when installing major updates.
Note that failure to flash Magisk/SuperSU after applying the update, will not only cause you to lose root, but also lose TWRP (will be overwritten by stock recovery if you reboot before flashing a root file or alternately a modified kernel).
