Error on update

Updating from 5.0 to 5.0.1 I got a message that said "error" during the reboot and install phase. I had to manually shut down the phone and reboot. After the reboot, I noticed that there was no update available and my phone is still on 5.0. I've only unlocked the bootloader and does with CF. No custom recovery or rom.

You used CF so if you rooted it wont work.

As stated in the other threads, you cannot update if you have root. You need to unroot. The update notification will eventually pop up again,

Same issue - any change to the kernel or system files is going to cause this issue. You need to be completely stock (having the bootloader unlocked is not an issue)

n00b question: I have mine unlocked and rooted; how should I go about getting this update?

You need to get stock before taking any OTA (bootloader being unlocked doesn't cause any issues with update). You can either download factory images for 5.0 and flash those (skip userdata.img if you don't want to lose data), and then take OTA, OR, do it the easier way - download factory images for 5.0.1 and flash those (skip userdata.img to avoid losing data)

huh? why relock bootloader? And that's not going to fix the issue with the modified system files

[Q] Install 5.1 OTA if rooted and bootloader unlocked?

Hi guys !
I unlocked my bootloader and rooted my device, and i don't know if i can upgrade my Nexus 6 by ota (received this morning on the phone) without brick it.
Is it dangerous?
Thank you
EDIT : I'm on stock Lollipop 5.0.1

Unlocked is fine. If you have root or any other system mods, you'll need to remove them.

Oh thanks for the quick answer
So if I unroot it with Nexus Root Toolkit it will be ok?

Nexus toolkit doesn't unroot. It reflashes the entire phone which also means root disappears. If you're going to do that, no point taking the ota. Just flash full update.
You can indoor via the SuperSU app.

Oh ok I just saw that.
So if I unroot via SuperSU it's ok i can install?

As long as you do the full unroot and made no other modifications. Oh and everything must be 100% stock, including recovery

I've installed TWRP...
So, what is the best way for me to install 5.1 without losing my data?

download the factory image that you want to update to.
extract the system.img, boot.img and radio.img
Fastboot flash them.
You could also flash the bootloader if you want though I dont see any point.

Ok, thank you for your quick answers

LG G4 Android 6.0 Root Theory

Well since we are reciving the sprint updates, im wondering if we can flash the ZV9 partions indivudally since the download mode in ZV9 is fixed with DD Commands send_command.exe, cant we extract the system.img from the TOT and the BOOT.img from the tot modified and use send command method to flash the partitions manually back using the send_command.exe .

I've been reading (casually) some of chainfire's threads on SuperUser for Marshmallow and it is NOT pretty. This is on a unlocked Nexus 6P. System partition can not be touched.
I highly doubt we will see root on LG G4 with Marshmallow. Even if it was possible, there is not enough interest from the developers that have the know how.
The days of root are dwindling.

international lg g4 both have root for MM...so saying that the lg g4 wont have root is not totally accuraly.. it might take some time for us without bootloader unlocked but I have faith it will be at some point..btw I know that they have a patch for the tmo to use the international so maybe we can get a patch

T-Mobile has an unlocked bootloader already, so this is a moot point.

Unlock SIM - Lg ls991 - ZVC

I want to share my experience with you guys.
So I've updated my LG G4 to ZVC firmeware, and read that is not possible to root it, and no unlock chances therefore. And since is really difficult to make downgrade once you've reached this version, I was totally freaked out that I wouldn't be able to unlock it.
And thanks to some brave community fellows that tried this method, I felt encouraged to do it.
In order to unlock your network, you have use a Global rom for ZVB firmeware, YES, it also works for ZVC. Said that, I have to tell you that this it's a risky method, and if you don't properly follow steps, you'll hard brick your phone, so do it at your own risk.
Here is the link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/spr...-mellowmallow-debloated-60fps-camera-t3358340
Please, make sure to thank the OP and developers. Buy 'em a beer or something

Going from ZVC firmware, did you have to deviate at all from the instructions at that link you provided? Or did you get success following it exactly as written? I think you convinced me to take the plunge.
(Well, also to be fully honest, now that the V20 is available, I'm more willing to take risks with my beloved LG G4 in the secret hope I might break it and justify the expensive upgrade as being forced into it)

Hi, just go to the link and follow the instructions there, you'll be alright.
I made this threat since everyone was confused about this firmeware version, and I wanted to share with you that YOU CAN UNLOCK the network once you are in ZVC as I DID. So no worries, you'll be able to unlock the sim from your LG G4 ZVC, using the ZVB procedure.

you downgrade to ZVB and follow the instructions? or only download the global version of ZVB from the post and realize the process when the phone stay on ZVC?

In this particular case, just Install the ZVB Global rom (Even if you have ZVC like me). No downgrade needed. Once you've installed the ZVB Global rom (FOLLOWING THE ALL THE STEPS of the original post) you'll have your phone UNLOCKED and running ZVB.
In other words, it is not a downgrade process (Although you'll be downgrading your phone from ZVC to ZVB) NO ADDITIONAL STEPS for it, do like your device was on ZVB and please, don't skip any step and you'll be fine.
It worked for me, it will work for you. Good luck

Did you use LGUP to downgrade to earlier versions first? If I remember correctly, there might be a chance to use the ZVC tot file to revert from ZVD to ZVC?

ive never dont the method but can descibe it to a T
on marshmallow sprint closed the send command port on g4 so a very dangerous technique in opening it as follows kinda. you open lgup and flash some tot dont know which one but as soon as it hits 9% this is when the send command port gets opened You have to unplug the usb cable exactly rite time and the send port stays open then u can dd in the system image.
now it is dangerous can hard brick device but im digging up the links now

[Download] 9.0.7 Patched Boot Image for Magisk

This is just a simple patched boot.img so you can re-do magisk after the update to 9.0.7 if you don't care for bothering with TWRP.
Instructions are the same as the others:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot boot patched_boot-9.0.7.img
Open the Magisk Manager App and click install. When prompted, choose Direct Install.
Profit!
Download Link: Google Drive: https://drive.google.com/file/d/13RDdihjVwt1oXlaxasRXqu75_QlFJV2T/view?usp=sharing
If you Need Magisk Manager, you can grab it from here: https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/releases/download/manager-v6.0.1/MagiskManager-v6.0.1.apk

Thanks! Works like a charm

Thank you sir. Got me back rooted after the local upgrade to 9.0.7 on my tmo variant

It works fine on the T-Mobile or International.
In almost every case things will work on both unless otherwise noted.

@Dameon87 is there any way you could possibly throw an OOS 9.0.7 stock kernel zip together if it's not too much to ask?

Thanks!

I'll stick with the TWRP method.. after this messed up my phone with no internet at all in wifi or modem I had to go hunt down stock boot image.

So you had the t-mob variant.
then you unlocked bootloader and flashed 9.0.6 giving you the international variant.
How did you upgrade to 9.0.7?? Surely not OTA right?

I have a question.. nothing to do with this thread. I tried making my own thread but the xda app won't let me.. however here is my question.. I just tried updating my greenify module for magisk and it said install fails.. reason is because my API is 28 and the max should be 27??? It also told me to downgrade to a different Android.... Anyone ever year such a thing?? And is there a fix for this???

You should address your issue on the greenify4magisk thread. The dev posted explaining the reason for the issue you encounter at the last page. I don't think greenify is needed for OnePlus 6T. 1+6T has a feature called Adaptive Battery which looks like it trying to do the same thing as greenify.
