Installing OTA updates while having Custom Recovery (ex. ClockWork mod) is not possible. You need Stock Recovery to install the OTA update. I'll be showing you how to install Stock Recovery, and how to get back to ClockWork mod, without the need of flashing a total new stock ROM (RUU).
Please read this very well before starting:
* I'm not responsible about anything that may happen to your device, please don't follow this guide if you don't know exactly what you're doing.
* This guide is for Windows users only. If you can get the official "recovery.img" or "recovery_signed.img" from somewhere else, then you can follow the guide (b) and start from step 5.
* If you're on Custom ROM, this will not work for you. Go flash an RUU instead.
* Please download the OTA update zip file before starting.
* If you deleted any system apps before, doing an OTA update will probably fail with Status 7. In this case, you'll have to restore the deleted apps as they were. If it still doesn't help, you'll have to flash an RUU and then do the OTA update.
* After flashing the OTA, you'll need to run Revolutionary to install custom hboot giving you permissions to flash recoveries and other things through fastboot. (IT IS A MUST IF YOU WANT TO USE "Android Recovery Manager" to flash ClockWorkMod after updating)

Other costum recovery if you want to reflash after update.

Advice:
Deactivate pin lock for simcard. Otherwise you must put phone on airplane mode before updating.
Update remove root, so be aware and install a costum recovery to have root again.

Good guide BTW. I do have a question though, have you had success in getting an update through this method? The last time I tried to do it, it didn't work

It could be because you have an S-OFF'd device. Devices with Unlocked bootloader and S-ON will not be able to apply an update like this. It would be great if you'd add this info as well

Yes, this thread is very misleading.
It's not installing OTA with a custom recovery or manually flashing an OTA. It's simply how to put the stock recovery back and how to go back to custom recovery after.
Sunshine
I tried sunshine but it didn't work and required my boot loader to be relocked which caused me to have to unlock again to boot android, wiping all my data. I'm not trying sunshine again!

For a custom recovery, check here
For a stock recovery, you would probably need to find the recovery image, if you have any OTAs lying around then you can open them up to find the recovery image.

Wow, didn't occur to me that the OTA would include the recovery.img! Okay, I'll dig around my phone's storage for where the OTA got put, and see if I can copy out the recovery.img. I'll report back if it works, for the benefit of anyone else who owns a Remix who might be monitoring this thread.
Thanks!

It will be in the "firmware.zip" inside the OTA zip. You will probably have the OTA file if you haven't updated in the downloads folder. It gets deleted once you update

For any other One Remix users following this thread, I actually found it in /cache/fumo, under the name "OTAPkg.zip." Since this partition won't mount when you try to mount your phone on a PC, you will need to copy this to a different location, like your SD card, using the "cp" command. I moved it to my downloads folder with
Code:
cp /cache/fumo/OTAPkg.zip /storage/emulated/0/Download

Hello, just installed the leaked sprint hero 2.1 rom on my phone. The rom works okay except that I have too restart my phone every time someone calls me or I try to call someone. This is rather annoying and now I would like to revert back to 1.5. I created a backup with nandroid but I can't seem to restore it properly. I have installed fastboot and followed the directions on how to use it with nandroid but fastboot.exe doesn't execute because it can't find the adbwinapi.dll file. I have this file (along with fastboot) both in my System32 directory and in the android-sdk/tools directory so I don't knowwhy fastboot can't find it. Is there any other way to restore with nandroid?

hmm the recovery screen has alot more than that....your 100% positive your holding the home button and then pressing power (while keeping home pressed in)

Clear data sounds like the bootloader.
Try this. Power off the phone. Hold down the HOME button. While holding the HOME button, press the POWER button. Wait for the phone to vibrate, then release the HOME button.
That should boot straight into recovery (if recovery is installed).
I think if you hold the home button too long, I think it will go into the bootloader menu.

Tried that and got picture of my phone with a little hazard symbol maybe this means I need to install recovery mode? and how would I go about doing that?
hmm i know when i hold home and end key for short second it asks me to clear all data or end ... wat i do is hold home + end for a long time until the ra pops up

I'm not sure. You probably still have root since the RUU is rooted, but you probably have to go through it again to get the recover image on there too. This is where my level of expertise ends.
Finally figured it out!
Turns out when I flashed the RUU rom I lost my recovery screen but I manged to figure out how to get it back.
This is how to do it

How did you find out that your phone is rooted?
Moreover, write following information here:
Bootloader: locked or unlocked?
HBoot:????
S-Off or S-ON???
You can this information by doing following.
Switch your phone Off. Press Volume down button and power button. This will take you to a screen where you can find this information. Put your information here and wr'll take it from there onwards
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1429241&highlight=and - This is what is installed on you phone. So you know. Not that this helps anything but just so you know it isn't some random thing no one has heard of
Now the recovery these guys are on about is something that has to be installed on the phone for someone to have installed this 'OS' (ROM). If you do as many have said and power the phone down. Remove the battery. Place it back in and whilst holding volume down and power wait for it to get to white screen with coloured text. If it boots as normal you have done it wrong Once you in this screen use the volume keys to navigate up and down and the power button to select. Navigate until you are over the Recovery option and use power to select. The phone will reboot and go to what is known as a Recovery. Chances are this is a customer recovery which allows you to install new 'OS' (ROM).
If you have this it would be easier for you and everyone if you download the stock rooted OS. Now you don't really need to understand what root is etc. I am sure you could Google all of that. But what you have to do is download it from here. Once it has downloaded you need to move the .zip file to you SD card on your phone. Just plug your phone into your PC and drag and drop it to your phone's sd. The SD card in your phone is virtualised so although you may not physically have one the PC recognises it as an SD card.
Once you have moved it to your phone. You need to unplug your phone from the PC. Get your phone back to the recovery, using these instructions again:Power the phone down. Remove the battery. Place it back in and whilst holding volume down and power wait for it to get to white screen with coloured text. If it boots as normal you have done it wrong Once you in this screen use the volume keys to navigate up and down and the power button to select. Navigate until you are over the Recovery option and use power to select. The phone will reboot and go to what is known as a Recovery.
Once you are there continue to use the volume up and down to navigate and power to select. You need to select 'Wipe Data/Factory Reset' option. Then select 'yes' Once that is done, you need to select the 'Wipe Cache' option. Again, select 'Yes'. Once that is done you can install the 'OS'(ROM). Now you select 'Install zip from SD card' then the option 'Select zip from SD card' Navigate and find the .zip file you moved to your SD. Select it, then select 'yes' After that it will do some stuff. Once it's finished, select 'Go Back' and then 'Reboot System' that should work.
If you don't want to do that then you can download the RUU file that fshami already linked. http://www.filefactory.com/f/2c6cbf04d4909b70/ - Select the one named 2.31.401.2_Europe. Once it has downloaded you need to ensure you have HTC drivers installed. Best way to do that is download HTC sync and plug your phone in. After it has installed the drivers and verified your phone you're good to go. Plug your phone in, find the RUU file you downloaded. It will be an .exe file. Right click on it and click 'Run as Administrator' Follow the steps on screen.
After downloading CM11 and GApps, I put it in my SD card and went into my recovery cwm9 by using an app. I got in and tried to flash my zips but I couldn't find them. Before I actually tried to flash them I did this first:
Wipe cache ( only required on first installation )
Wipe Dalcik cache ( only required on first installation )
Format /system and optionally /data ( Only necessary if coming from stock or a different ROM )
So when I rebooted I was greeted by getting stuck at the T-mobile boot splash.
I don't know how to get into recovery manually. I can't try to use download mode because I used fastboot. When I get into fastboot I tried using ADB to boot into recovery but device is not found when I'm in fastboot.
Please help me, I literally just got this phone and wanted to flash a custom rom because the LG stock is disgusting.

See FAQ thread for getting into recovery.
[SIZE=+1]Q14: I've flashed a custom recovery but what are the key combos to get there?[/SIZE]
Power off the device
Press and hold Power + Volume down
When the LG logo appears on the screen, quickly release the Power button, still holding the Volume down button, and press and hold Power again until the "Factory Reset" screen appears. Don't worry, this won't reset the device.
Use the volume keys to navigate up and down and Power to select. Scroll down and select "Yes" and repeat once more. It may take up to 10 seconds for the device to boot to recovery.
I've now gotten into the recovery and installed both cyanogenmod and GApps. I've actually had to change the rom found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/lg-l90/development/rom-cyanogenmod-11-lg-l90-lg-d415-t2871371
I've had to change the updater script that contained "w7" to "w7ds" because it said my device wasn't w7 and that it was w7ds.
I've rebooted and now it's just stuck on the cyanogenmod boot screen.
What do?

You've got an older recovery it seems. Download Philz-Touch from my thread, the link you posted, or get TWRP from this thread
Since you're having booting issues, use fastboot to flash the recovery.
Thing is when I'm in fastboot, ADB won't detect my device. I've only gotten it to detect my device once and that's when I was unlocking my bootloader. I don't know how to do it again.
So what do I do? BTW, thanks for helping me.
Edit: I formatted everything again and tried to reinstall the cyanogenmod and GApps. Seems like I just had to wait for the boot screen.

Put device in fastboot mode. ADB can't detect the device when it's in fastboot mode.
Type:
Code:
fastboot devices
You should see a listing similar to "adb devices" output.
Copy recovery image to the same folder fastboot is in. Then type:
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
or
Code:
fastboot boot recovery.img
First one will only write the recovery image to the device. The second on will write the image to the device and should then boot the device to the recovery.
EDIT:
Yes, the first boot takes a couple minutes.
Seems I just had to wait for bootscreen.
How do I turn data on and off?

Well, yeah, but a faster way. Like in LG in the notification bar there was a button that would turn data on and off. Does cyanogenmod have anything like that similarly?

No mean as in bootloader unlocked and can flash factory images
pratchaya, when you start your N6, do you see at the bottom of the screen a picture of a padlock with the lock open on one side?
1. Go here, https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
2. Download this, https://dl.google.com/dl/android/aosp/shamu-nbd90z-factory-92e7bb05.zip
3. Power off phone, hold down power+volume down, boot into bootloader
4. Extract contents of zip to your computer
5. Flash fresh install of Android on your phone
Actually do this instead now that i've thought about it.
1. Go here, http://www.wugfresh.com/nrt/
2. Download the latest version of Nexus Root Toolkit (v2.1.9 as of writing this)
3. Install onto your PC
4. Use NRT to Flash Stock + Unroot
I use NRT all the time when wanting to flash beta images from Google. Never had an issue with it.

That's what I was gonna tell him, but it won't work if his bootloader is locked, or if he could just flash the recovery through fastboot and side load the OTA from there

Maybe i don't know this just because my bootloader has been unlocked since the day i got my phone.
But i would imagine that google's STOCK image would be flashable, even with a locked bootloader...
But if it's not, then that sucks.
But NRT has the option to Root+Recovery from the fastboot/bootloader...But once again, not sure if you need to be bootloader unlocked before that will work.
I guess you have nothing to lose trying and seeing what happens.
If he holds down the three button salute, it will take him to the bootloader where he can run fastboot OEM unlock to unlock his device then flash just as long he has unlockable in developers settings checked.

Hi, I don't know about bootloader lock or unlock.
But I'm a normal user , just use my nexus as normal user ( original from factory + update + upgrade + reset sometime ).
Is this mean bootloader lock ? sir.

Hi, I can't see any picture except these photos.
Well, that's puzzling. I've just restarted my N6 to be sure of my facts, and there is clearly a screen before the four dancing icons you show in your first picture. The very first thing that the phone shows on boot is a pure black screen with "Google" in big white letters in the centre, with (on my unlocked phone) the picture of an unlocked padlock at the bottom.
Are you saying that you don't see this?
=============
And while we wait for the answer to the question above, please try this:
- Power off the Nexus 6 completely.
- Next, press and hold Volume Down, Volume Up and Power simultaneously – don’t release the buttons until Fastboot Mode menu appears.
Note that this is not what you've already tried - this should get you into Bootloader mode, whereas you described the Recovery procedure in your first post. Does this procedure get you any screen? If so, please describe what you see.
(Further edit: just noticed that biggiesmalls657 suggested this on the first page, but I think that pratchaya appears too inexperienced to know what you suggested).

You guys are incorrect
This isn't possible unless the ROM starts and he can check OEM unlock in the developer options
And he can flash the OTA file with a locked bootloader but he has to have a working recovery
Have you tried a Hard Factory Reset?

I just said that!
Edit: Did you notice force closes before all this happened? Lots of force closes when doing a factory data reset sometimes means it's hardware with the internal storage. If you can't boot into Android to check OEM unlock button and fastboot doesn't allow you to flash while locked then I am not sure then.

The stock recovery is crappy as it's rough to get in unless you try lots of combos.

What if he were to select the factory mode in the bootloader menu? I know that trying to access the stock recovery is a pain sometimes. OP what do you see when you select Recovery Mode?

Hi,
I hv already try this method . but nothing happen on my nexus .
( press and hold Volume Down, Volume Up and Power simultaneously more than 20 min. and nothing show , still dark screen )
Actually I try this method at day one that my nexus dead.
Hi guys while searching the web and the forum to find a way to root our phone I found this guide https://topjohnwu.github.io/Magisk/samsung
you can do it by yourself if you want but I thought to edit it a bit to match our device. all credit goes to original developer I just copied what he did and it worked.
I don't take any responsibility if anything happens to device, brick ect. use the guide with your own risk!
make sure you have updated drivers and a good usb cable, I recommend Smart Switch for pc you can download in the samsung site, it will also install latest drivers and you can back up the phone with it to the pc.
just for your information rooting voids the waranty, trips knox and makes things complicated, but I can't have a phone without root, it reminds me the days with my old nexus 4.
this guide will also factory reset your phone so make sure to back up everything don't forget to back up whatsapp in the app itself.
I'm not a developer maybe there is an easier way to root, this is the only way I found, so if you want to wait until an experienced developer who knows english better then me release another way to root that's fine by me, I wont get upset.
the only downside I see in this kind of root that you can't normally enter the system. I mean that normal reboot and power up will boot your system without magisk, because the root sits on the recovery or something like that. so each time you power off your phone to power it up you need to hold the Volume up + Power button untill you see the bootloader unlocked warning and release, and everything will be working with root. even if you accidently powerd your phone without the way I mentioned you still have root don't panic like I did just turn off the phone and power it up like I mentioned and its all good.
also you can't normally update the phone through the phone settings and to update the phone with odin like I understand you'll need to have a patched version of the AP tar file with magisk, or something bad will happen to the phone, again I am not a developer I don't know the full risks.
so after the warnings and the long intro here is the edited guide:
Unlock the bootloader - this will wipe all your data so make sure to back up before you start anything!
Allow bootloader unlocking in Developer options → OEM unlocking
Power off your device. Volume Up + Volume Down + Power button and plug in your device to a PC to boot into download mode
Long press volume up to unlock the bootloader. This will wipe your data and automatically reboot.
the developer also mentions that sometimes it wont work because something called VaultKeeper. I didn't had that issue just make sure after the system boots after you unlocked the bootloader that the OEM unlocking option exists and grayed out in the developer options.
Instruction
1.Download the firmware for your device.
2.Unzip the firmware and copy the AP tar file to your device. It is normally named as AP_[device_model_sw_ver].tar.md5
3.Install Magisk Manager from the Canary Channel
4.In Magisk Manager: Install → Install → Select and Patch a File
5.Select the AP tar file. Magisk Manager will patch the whole firmware file and store the output to [Internal Storage]/Download/magisk_patched.tar
6.Copy the tar file to your PC, and boot your device to download mode. (Hold all 3 buttons Volume Up+Volume Down+Power Button and connect to PC cable)
I have downloaded the firmware with Samfirm I found it on the forum I'll upload it here. I will also upload the AP file I patched and write the firmware version I took it from. I'll also upload the full firmware for you if you can't find a good mirror online. and also the odin version I used.
the csc i look up is for ILO but I think the csc have multiple regions, you know better I'll upload it anyway maybe it will save time for someone.
7.Flash magisk_patched.tar as AP in ODIN (I flashed the entire firmware because I had some problems flashing without all the files try it the way you want. flash it with normal csc of you choose to flash the whol firmware)
Important: Uncheck “Auto Reboot” in Options!!!!
8.Magisk is now successfully flashed to your device! But there are still several steps before you can properly use the device.
9.We now want to boot into the stock recovery to factory reset our device.
Full data wipe is mandatory! Do not skip this step.
Press Power Button+Volume Up+Volume Down to exit download mode, and as soon as the screen turns off, immediately press Power Button+Volume Up to boot to recovery partition. Just as mentioned in the previous section, since we want to boot into stock recovery, continue pressing the volume up button until you see the stock recovery screen.
10.In the stock recovery menu, use volume buttons to navigate through menus, and the power button to select the option. Select Wipe data/factory reset to wipe the data of the device.
11.This time, we can finally boot to the system with Magisk. Select Reboot system now, and immediately press Power Button+ Volume Up. After seeing the bootloader warning screen, release all buttons so it can boot to the system.
12.The device will automatically reboot for the first time it boots. This is completely normal and done by design.
13.After the device is booted up, do the usual initial setup. The following steps will need internet connection.
14.You shall see Magisk Manager in your app drawer; if not, manually install the APK you downloaded in step 3 and continue to the next step. The app would be a stub and it shall automatically upgrade to the full Magisk Manager when you open it.
15.Magisk Manager will ask to do additional setups. Let it do its job and the app will automatically reboot your device.
16.Baruh Ashem! enjoy magsik!
That's it I think if I forgot something I'm sorry I hope it worked for you! and maybe some real developers start to look at the device and start building costume roms andall the good stuff that comes with it!
meanwhile the files are uploading you can try get them by yourself here are the names of the files I used:
Odin3_v3.13.1_3B_PatcheD
Samfirm
firmware file: SM-A705FN_1_20190412140953_u5ql0uali6_fac
Magisk manager is linked the developer enterd the canary build but I'll also upload 7.1.2.apk version I found on the internet.
ALL CREDIT GOES TO THE ORIGINAL DEVELOPER, AND DEVELOPERS. if you have any question I can help you with my own expirence only.
Here is the download link, use at your own risk. if you are not sure the firmware uploaded is right for your device download yourself with samfirm that i also uploaded.
Download Link - Google Drive
Thanks for your research and this manual! I've been trying your steps for a few hours now, and after a few trial and errors, softbricks and reboots I'm still not able to succeed.
Magisk Manager won't show up in the apps after setup wizard. Installing it manually, it says Magisk is not installed
My phone: A70 from the Netherlands. I used Israel firmware from updato.com (https://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?record=440E12D670B911E9BE8CFA163EE8F90B) and your file (which is same size after patching). Unfortunately I can't find Dutch firmware, hence the Israel version.
Anybody else succeeded?

thank you for the feedback!
did you flashed the whole firmware? with BL, patched AP,CP and CSC? on the google drive folder I have to full firmware try to download that.
maybe you do have it installed but you didn't boot corectly. try to turn off your phone then hold volume up+power button and hold them untill you see the galaxy a70 powered by android. and then check magisk! I hope it helped!
Will try and flash complete firmware with all your Drive files tomorrow! Hope it will succeed

I have good hope that this device can be rooted considering my past Samsung devices, it is only a matter or time.
I'm downloading the files again now, and going to try! Will report back a.s.a.p.
Edit:
Installed everyhing from your files in Odin: BL, AP (patched), CP, CSC and:
It worked! Magisk installed, Magisk Manager updated. I could install AdAway and it asked for root permissions.
But... after reboot Magisk Manager said it is NOT installed anymore. Now what?
Edit 2:
It seems Magisk sometimes fails to load when booting. After some reboots, it is back again and AdAway works. So end of the story: IT WORKS, and it Magisk starts to nag that is it not installed, just reboot a couple of times, and enjoy your rooted phone

Yay I'm happy it worked!
Magisk isn't loading because of you want to boot with magisk you need to hold the volume up and power button together untill you see the bootloader unlocked warning and it asks your to press the power button to continue then release press the power button. I usually press volume up and power button again for 2 sec to make sure and that's it! Reboot won't boot with magisk sure make sure u use this method each time you need to reboot!

It's not that bad, even if you accidentally booted without magisk just turn off the phone and boot with the way I mentioned and magisk is back!
If you normally power up your phone just pressing the power button with this method just add the volume up and hold both button together for 4 to 5 sec.
Right now it's the only way to root that I found. Maybe with twrp things will get easier.
And one more thing if you install magisk module don't press reboot after your install just power off and boot the way I mentioned that's it.

I tested a few reboots, and this is how my A70 behaves:
X Reboot without pressing any buttons: no Magisk
X Reboot, pressing the power button when prompted: no Magisk
V Reboot, hold power button + volume up button, press power button to confirm: Magisk :victory:
Well, that's good enough for me! I am happy :laugh:

Yeah that's right my English is not perfect maybe I didn't explained it good enough but that's what I meant! Thank you for trying. That's good enough for me also.
I also installed EdExposed and it's working good with modules that are confirmed to work with Android pie.
Next thing is trying to flash mods with flashify or something because we don't have twrp yet.
There is more good news!
I got EdXposed working following this manual, using the SandHook version: https://magiskroot.net/download-xposed-for-android-pie
It was really easy, just download and flash/install these files:
Links:
Riru core: https://github.com/RikkaApps/Riru/releases
EdXposed Sandhook: https://github.com/ElderDrivers/EdXposed/releases/tag/v0.4.1.2
EdXposed Installer: https://github.com/solohsu/XposedInstaller/releases/tag/Ed_v2.2.4
Don't forget to reboot with the button combination trick mentioned earlier!

If it failed maybe magisk didn't patched AP correctly try to extract the AP file again from the firmware file and then patch it in magisk again.
I extract with 7zip and got all ok in magisk. Newest 214 build.
But got success 0 fail 1 as result
Can't be ok like this?
@Avicohen21 I almost bricked it. Send me on pm your telegram contact or something to send you some pictures
