how to manually apply ota update on rooted moto g5s plus - Moto G5S Plus Questions & Answers

I have received the "Blur_Version.26.241.8.sanders.retail.en.US.zip" ota-update.zip on my rooted device but I don't want to unroot my device.
I've been reading somewhere that it is possible to edit a file contained in the ota-zip and then flash the modified ota-zip with twrp or adb-sideload.
Any help or link will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance

you need the stock firmware package for your phone and when you extract it there will be a image file named recovery you need to flash it then take the OTA then reflash your custom recovery
thank you very much

after that,connect your phone, and reboot to fastboot, open ":\adt\sdk\platform-tools" in your pc, hold "shift" and click right key of mouse, then shoose "open command window here". then input "fastboot flash recovery recovery.img", and you can get your recovery back to your stock recovery.

Thank you very much. Did as you describe (just before reading it, i found out you can't flash an img file through twrp, so googled and found had to do it from PC via the fastboot command ... did that, but when i now try to reboot into recovery i get the green droid and a red exclamation mark ... Haven't found out how to solve that. Right after initiating the command, the first output is "variable not supported!", but the phone did flash. I did try a second time, but get the same result. So i now can't get into a recovery and can't flash Android 4.2.2. Any suggestions ?

Found it: while seeing the droid and red exclamation, i can press "Volume Down and Power" and get a menu, am flashing the 4.2.2. while i type this. Thanks!
Mine is press the up and power button. Do you success to flash 4.2.2? I heard that it can't flash down to the previouse system, may cause some trouble?
Sent from my XT1053 using xda app-developers app
if you are not 100% sure you want 4.4.2 i would not flash it because you can not flash back to 4.4.

Revert to stock after MOFO Root

To revert completely back to stock
The rootjunkysdl website. http://rootjunkysdl.com/?device=Droid Turbo&folder=Firmware
It's in the firmware section for the Droid Turbo
Download it, unzip it, run the .bat file while in fastboot mode, wait for the magic.

Thanks, what firmware does this flash? It shows "21.128-15" in the file name so I am just wondering. The latest is 21.44.12.quark_verizon.en.us.
21.21.15 The original firmware from the October, 2014 release

Oh yeah, thanks! I just downloaded it and opened it up. This will flash literally everything from radios to the bootloader to system. Thanks now I have it just in case.
Edit: bootloader stays modified...
where can i find 21.44.12?
Edit: do i flash through rsdlite or mofo?
I have been unable to find that version myself. You don't use RSD or MOFO. After you unzip the file look for the .bat file. Put your phone in recovery mode and open the .bat file. It will flash on its own.

Thanks for the reply... I actually messed up my recovery file so I couldnt go that route... luckily it was easy as fastboot flash recovery recovery.img after getting the correct file
Is there any way to get an unrooted system.img to flash with mofo? I'm trying to 'unroot' my phone and keep the modifications I have made, so I can continue using the apps that don't allow me to use them when I'm rooted (Barclays Mobile Banking and Pingit)
That I'm unsure of, have you tried any of the root cloaking apps in the Play Store?

Yes, they don't work. I tried removing su and superuser.apk, but still no luck. It won't probably work, but I'd like to try, see the differences between a rooted and an unrooted system.img, also see if these apps work on a 'flashed' system.img that is unrooted...
I'll keep trying to convert the system.img_sparsechunk* from the stock rom into a mofo flashable system.img... If I can't do it then I'll open a thread asking for a dd from an unrooted system partition

As long as you have your adb and fastboot tools installed on your computer, as well as the drivers you need for the moto g2, the steps are the same for both windows and Linux. To root:
1. Flash twrp version 3.0.0.0
Download the file, place in your fastboot folder, and then open a command window in that folder. Type : fastboot flash recovery twrp.img
2. Using TWRP, install SuperSU v2.62 only.
3. (Optional)Boot your rom up and update SuperSU to version 2.65 using the play store.
That's all you need to get root access.

that doesnt work, you ned a modified boot.img or it gets stuck in a bootloop. why attempt to answer a question you clearly dont know the answer to?

1. You do not need a modified boot image, SuperSU will modify the boot image for you.
2. I answered your question because I've done the above hundreds of times before.
3. I do realise that I'm replying many months later than when you posted, but XDA only informed me of your reply just now.

What was your original firmware? You're best off flashing a firmware from FunkyHuawei via eRecovery to restore. You might need to use the rebranding tool first if there isn't a firmware available that matches your device. You can't flash the update.app via fastboot or TWRP
Or if you have the full firmware package follow instructions from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p20/development/rebrand-huawei-p20-eml-l29-eml-l09-t3779283 and you might be able to recover without paying for FunkyHuawei

can you Install TWRP recovery?
Download this file and follow the instructions:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-9/development/tool-flash-official-firmware-recovery-t3769279/
Use this firmware in this post:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p20/how-to/firmware-release-eml-l29-8-1-0-110c432-t3779477
And this recovery:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/huawei-p20-pro/development/recovery-twrp-3-2-1-0-t3779400
I recovered my p20 a few hours ago.
Start by flashing the TWRP recovery and pushing the files to the phone using adb push. Also ensure you rename the files EXACTLY as in the picture instructions in the first link. It's easy to figure out. And don't forget to put the recovery file in there too. Ignore the red error. It works perfectly.

Hey I'm having this issue as well.
How and what files did you push over adb?
I can't get my phone to connect to my pc, so I need to send the files over adb, if possible.
Thanks!
No need to pay to anyone, finally solved. Try and let me know
