POST_ROOT and NANDROID BACKUP

Hi, everyone this is my first post.
Though I am not new to rooting, but earlier i used to do one click root..so unrooting was also that damn easy.
Recently i rooted my moto x 2nd gen xt1092 by unlocking bootloader and after flashing TWRP and later using SuperSu.
But here is the catch I didn't take nandroid backup before rooting.
So my question is
1 If I take backup now , will this backup be a rooted backup , means that if in future I flash this backup my phone will be directly boot in rooted mode..?
2 If I unroot using supersu are there chances I may stuck in bootloop?
3 now as I alreday have Twrp flashed how can I get to my original OS I once had? 9(system recovery image)
Plz let my doubts get cleared.
thanks in advance

1. yes, you can do a full backup of system, data, recovery, boot, etc (default configuration of backup) and when you do a restore you have the same root system.
2, sometimes, you have a 50% of possible failure, the best option is flash the stock system files and after do a ota update or similar (never do a downgrade, can kill your phone(hardbrick))
3. Via bootloader (down volume button when you turn on the phone)
Write or copy this lines on bootloader mode (in the same folder where you have execute the command for your unlock code for the unlock of boot loader)
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot reboot
The recovery is on image of StockRom.

Thanks cyke31.
My two doubts are absolutely clear.
I have a doubt regarding the 3 point.
where I will find that recovey.img file?
And after flashing that recovery.img file will I get back to my stock rom, that I had before TWRP was installed ?
Can I take OTA updates?
Will TWRP get uninstalled ?
your english is pretty good..
I am Indian ....so don't worry . I'm not grammar NAZI..

I recommend downloading the stock rom and do a clean install , because any change you've made in system, will generate bootloop...
Here the links to the Rom (you must download The xt1092 version)
Firmwares 4.4.4 hasta 5.0.X: https://mega.co.nz/#F!TkIwRTjR!m7W1V35qfLBiiUargAx1vg
Firmwares 5.1 y 6.0: https://mega.co.nz/#F!ow8igZRL!Z7vmN8GOpez2bVMYDvEKkg
And them install via guides on xda.

so its better to flash system files than flashing recovery.img
though I'm in no mood to unroot my device. just wanted to know the consequences. I'll do normal backup of my current rooted rom. If in case anything happens I'll flash stock system files from motorola website.
Thanks for the info.
Xposed is the reason I rooted my device. Heard that is better to take nandroid backup before installing Xposed.

Yes, but xposed is a thing, and the modules are totally different thing,Xposed by itself does not cause any problems...

yeah know that but...wanted to be sure..... as there is no service center in my state

Nexus 6 stuck in TWRP after Android N ota update

My Nexus 6 was on Android N. Then I rooted it using twrp to install supersu 2.71. This afternoon, I got a notification for Android N update ota, and I allowed it. It downloaded the software and boot up into twrp. What I am supposed to do next? I tried to reboot, but it always came back to twrp. This is my first rooted phone and I have no idea what is going on. Please help!!!

In twrp, I tried to Restore to the mashmallow back up (MOB30I), but it failed.

Reboot to bootloader in TWRP then reboot from there. This will end the loop.

Thank you for your response. I reboot into bootloader , then select :"power off". But when I turn on phone, it came back to twrp. I reboot back to bootloader, then select "start". It boot up to twrp again. Anything else I can try?

I tried again, reboot into bootloader and then select start again. It went through the same process, but it was able to boot again. Now I got notification of system update, like before. I need to unroot it to allow for android N update?
Thank you. You are a life saver.

Installing a stock N recovery in fastboot should be enough to allow you to take the update. You will likely need to install TWRP and then root again afterward.

Thank you Durgis. Can I have more instruction on how to install stock N recovery in fastboot. I guess have to download file for stock N recovery, boot the phone to bootloader, then use some command to install it.

ok.. you CAN NOT install an ota via twrp recovery. you have to have stock recovery if you want to install an ota, period. next time, search and read.

Could he use flashfire to update to the new N he's being asked to install?

no idea

I know I use it to flash the monthly updates.

twrp cant flash updates, you neef the stock recovery for that. seems as you wiped your phones rom off the phone. so, youre going to have to push a rom to your phone and flash it.

There is an option to flash an OTA in flash fire. I personally used it to flash the n image from mm

Hi converge12, I completed registration in this forum only to say you thank you.

Go to TWRP then select restart as "bootloader" and select start to go into system.

Currently rooted on 20i MM, what do I need to do if I want to update? (with root)

Hey XDA,
I'm currently rooted on T-Mobile's H811 version 20i. I just got the stupid update notification and I'd like to get rid of it (by updating to the latest version, and root the phone + install a custom ROM).
I can backup most of my data through Google and all my pictures are on my SD card, so I dont have to worry about losing data through the upgrade.
What steps do I need to take to:
• Update my G4 to the latest version + root
• (dont delete my photos from my SD card)
I'm afraid I'll brick my G4, since I almost brick it the last time I rooted my G4.
Thank you!

You still get over the air update even if your rooted. If you custom recovery it, you will no longer get over the air update from tmobile. Its a good thing i flash my stuff using twrp manager.

Do I keep my root and everything? Or does the root break (like on iOS devices)

Once rooted you will always be rooted unless you delete the root files. For every new version of android comes out, there need to be new method to root your phone. But since you've rooted, you will keep the root even if you updated to new android version. Even factory reset cant get rid of root. you cant get rid of it updating to new version of android. (correct me if im wrong)

Well, I clicked the install button and my phone went into two recovery but it failed to install the update. However , the notification is gone now so I guess that's ok

Lucky you ( Else you would have been stuck on TWRP Screen) till you flash the G4, best way to update when you are rooted and custom recovery installed is to use LGUP. Download latest KDZ file of 20o and flash it via KDZ you will loose recovery only but all your stuff and Root remains.

OMG that would suck, because I am leaving to go to the airport tomorrow so I NEED my phone.
I'm going to update tomorrow in the morning before I go, in case there was some problem.
Thanks man.

Mine is rooted and unlocked on 20i. I flashed TWRP 2.8.7.2. I did remove a couple OEM apps that were a bit annoying. I back-up the 3 suggested partitions, system, boot, data.
Can I update to the OTA using just TWRP or adb/fastboot without screwing the pouch?
Or do I need to take a different route to the OTA?

if you do youll get camear and sound problems... the best way its to start fresh..
download LGUP and h811 20o KDZ. the flash using refurbished this will wipe everything.. then install twrp and root..

I really find LG way more annoying than HTC ever was. This should be a simple process.
Finally got LGUP working on Virtual Box 5.026 running W7, from Mavericks OSX. But it took some doing to get the 20o update in.
Had to add Guest additions to VB in order to enable USB 2 control, so VB would see the LG.
And the proper LG Mobile drivers v4.04.exe.
A restart or 2 of the Mac.
Then ran LGUP, changed the browse extension to .kdz and navigated to the H81120o_00_0613.kdz.
LGUP ran and the G4 restarted a few times over about 5 mins or so.
Can't get twrp flashed.
I get this error: FAILED (remote: unknown command).
So I disregarded and tried fastboot boot twrp-2.img.
File not found.
Ideas?

this from Macs Terminal app or I suppose the equal in Doze 7.
Terminal:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot boot (drag and drop the twrpxxx.img into the Terminal window)
This will boot you into a "temp" TWRP recovery. Install twrp.img (select .img button bottom right)
Then install SuperSu 2.6.7.zip.
REBOOT SYSTEM

Keep booting into TWRP after Android 7.0

I had TWRP installed and enrolled in the beta program. I just downloaded the official 7.0 through the push notification and clicked, "Restart and Install." Now, my phone boots automatically into TWRP. I've turned it off, then back on and same thing. Any ideas how to get out of this?

Boot into bootloader from recovery and select start.

Yeah but it still can't install the update,any way fix it?

Boot to bootloader and flash the stock recovery from factory image. Then boot into stock recovery and the update should start.

The same happened to me. Disappointing, since the previews all worked (for me) in TWRP.
I just downloaded the OTA and sideloaded it, flashed TWRP, rebooted into TWRP and installed SuperSU 2.78. Worked fine.

May I ask which version of TWRP did you use?

twrp-3.0.2-0-shamu.img

you cant flash an official factory image in twrp..this is a known fact...

Is that comment aimed at me? Did you actually read my post? Can you point me at the relevant part where I get it wrong?
Feel free to apologise any time.

You are side loaded ota then flash twrp . But in op he was flashed ota via twrp and now os corrupted and he is not able to boot into system. All ota can flashed via stock recovery , i think. He have to flash firmware now via fast boot. Am i correct . If anything wrong ,you can correct.
Everybody should be friends in XDA.

It seems that people don't read posts before writing. The OP clearly said that he had applied the OTA. I clearly said that this was exactly what I did with the same result. I also clearly explained what I did to fix it. The next comment should be from the OP saying what he's doing to recover. If he does what I did he'll be fine.

He can reinstall stock recovery and side load from there
Either flash the stock recovery.img through twrp or
Flash stock recovery through fastboot or
Install factory image through fastboot

To avoid issues, I'd say make sure you're 100% stock, recovery and all before installing an official update. Like I said, just to be sure it won't fail.

I got the the OTA notification before work yesterday. All day at work I was itching to install it but with no PC I couldn't risk it. I was on the DP5 with TWRP, no root, and unlocked. I couldn't wait. I flashed the OTA with TWRP after I restored a backup of when I first installed DP5. TWRP throw a couple of errors but after about 10 minutes of hanging on the boot animation it finally booted. My phone was encrypted but other then that it was fine. I was gonna root it afterwards but I was on stock recovery after flashing the OTA so I couldn't do anything until I got home. Made a noforc-nonverify boot IMG throw on TWRP reformatted. Running great now.
Edit: My DP5 boot.img was also noforc-nonverify.

OnePlus 3T Recovery Loop

Hello lovely XDA-members,
this morning a new OTA update/patch came out for my OnePlus 3T, so I downloaded and tryed to install it right away. My phone is rooted on android 7.0 and I have TWRP 3.0.3-0 installed as my recovery. Normally (when I updated to nougat) after downloading a new update the phone reboots itself into TWRP and installs the update by itself, but not this time. I had to seqrch through my phone and had to install thw update manually. After that I rebooted the phone and it started booting the TWRP recovery again, I tried it again and again and again, nothint changed. So I tried to restore my backup with everything functioning, but this wouldnt help either. :/ I read the few existing threads with this problem and heard of a recovery flag that isnt cleared and the bootloader being the problem. One solution that I found was only for an LG phone and I'm afraid that I'll brick my brand new phone I have absolutely no idea what to do now, I would be so happy if someone could help me with this :$
I thank you in advance <3

Encoutered the same problem. Either you reflash the official or twrp recovery (neither did the trick to me) or use this "emergency tool" (which helped me):
https://forums.oneplus.net/threads/unbrick-guide-oneplus-3t.481214/
Btw: TWRP 3.0.3-0 is not working well, switch to 3.0.3-1 beta

Good luck to you

I had the same problem.
How you can ''unbrick it'':
1. Flash a any rom available for the oneplus 3t via twrp
a. after this you will be still in twrp bootloop, to solve this go to step 2
2. Flash back stock recovery via twrp
Now your system will boot again
Optional: Flash back twrp

Just flash stock recovery via adb and you're done. It will fix the problem, you won't lose any data
