Firmware update...

Hi all,
Currently receiving an OTA alert about firmware 22.41.24.en.gb. Anyone know what this is? 5.1? Can't install as I am currently rooted with custom recovery and xposed framework. Is all I need to do to install change to the stock recovery?

I've got this update as well this morning. Also rooted with TWRP. I'm no expert but I would say we need to wait for someone to make an update we can flash from recovery.

What is your model?

Locally I have stock image + ota
I can upload ota but for apply it you have to use everything stock

I removed root via super su app menu and reflashed the stock recovery.img before accepting the upgrade.
Then once the update installed ok I put TWRP and root back on the device.

Now that you have ota installed, can you tell me your system version and build number? I have 22.21.28.thea_reteuall.en.EU retfr system version and LXB22.46-28 build number and I didn't receive any OTA upgrade notice. I have not done any mod (root, custom recovery...) to stock

OTA Fails
Damn, even after full unroot and flashing back the stock recovery the OTA fails... And I can't really read why.
Except for root, I installed system settings Tasker plugin and converted it into a system app as well as froze some CN bloatware apps with TB. I will now reflash twrp and reroot and first try to unfreeze and as a last step uninstall the Tasker plugin.
If anybody has some solid experience, please share and maybe save me some time.
Thanks!
UPDATE: Alright, that all didn't work. I realized that the tasker plugin does not copy anything to the system, but I had a Helper app from PinTasker there which I deleted. And I unfroze all the apps and did a full unroot, but still no luck. I don't know what to do anymore now except for going full back to stock (no gapps), but I would rather avoid that if possible.
Still, glad for any input on this matter!
Thanks

Hi, is it possible to flash the stock retgb firmware (on locked bootloader) if the phone came with the retde firmware? Since they are exactly the same model (xt1072) and both firmwares are digitally signed by motorola.
I ask cause the retde hasn't received this ota update yet, and if I switched it to the retgb i could get the ota update right away for the newer modem and bootloader before i unlocked and got cm.
Thx

How to update unlocked and rooted stock rom?

Hello there.
My G5s+ is suggesting a security update. But since I did unlock the bootloader and rooted it with magisk I did not install it.
My question is: What is the best way to update the phone?
Just flash the new stock rom? And where do I get those?
Thanks in advance.

Nobody here that can tell me how to upgrade?
Should I just flash the new version if I get it somewhere?

Unlocked bootloader will not affect the OTA installation..!
The reason the OTA-Update fails is that one of the boot, system, logo or recovery partitions are changed.
Magisk modifies the boot image.
On rooted device..OTA may brick the device..so avoid OTA installation..!
Reply your current build Number from about phone..
Do a clean flash.

Flash 26-11 full firmware

Where can I find full firmware versions of the stock rom to flash?
My build version is: NPSS26.116-26-4
As I understand it, there are two new security patches since that version? If I'm flashing one of the newer versions, is it just a case of dirty flashing it normally through twrp? No need to factory reset?

If that is the firmware build you need, you could try the firmware here: https://firmware.center/firmware/Motorola/Moto G5s Plus/Stock/ but ensure you download the correct firmware. (credit to: https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g5s-plus/how-to/xt1804-able-to-lock-bootloader-npss26-t3722572) Also, verify it is the firmware you require and was the latest firmware build on your device - please don't downgrade with stock firmware (else you may hard brick with OTA updates corrupting your bootloader)...
Stock OTA updates, as mentioned above, require fully stock firmware - they will not flash with root, modifications or TWRP (and attempting to flash via TWRP may soft bootloop your device). Thus, you must re-flash the stock firmware - you may be able to save your data by omitting the 'fastboot erase userdata' command and you do not have to re-lock your bootloader. However, I'm not familiar with the G5S Plus and I hope another user can provide you with flashing commands.
I would still recommend you make a backup of your device in TWRP and keep that safe, in case you have to wipe your data for stability.

Help with up to date guide to Root

Hi,
Can someone concisely give the most up to date instructions on how to root the P20 Pro
Confused because some people talk about debranding first? Is this necessary if you, like me, just have a generic non-network branded phone?
Also.. Does rooting require twrp?
A bit unclear on if I should use the offical or unofficial twrp methods.
And if so does twrp prevent OTA updates? I was lead to believe that any OTA updates would simply wipe any root and you just have to go through the steps again, but would twrp prevent an OTA update in the first place?
What are the best instructions to root the P20 Pro to keep the OTA updates going (even if you need to reroot after each update).
Thanks heaps in getting through the confusion!

Here you have manual to root in simple 4 steps. You need adb and fastboot on your computer, bootloader unlock code and Magisk from link in post
https://forum.xda-developers.com/hu...de-how-to-root-debrand-remove-retail-t3788326

Does any of the steps,
1/ unlocking the bootloader
2/ debranding
3/ installing TWRP
3/ rooting
Wipe the device?.. I'm assuming yes?
Also. What's the point of debranding?..
I think I'm on a generic P20 Pro that wasn't bought from a carrier - so is that step necessary for me.
Thanks heaps again for the advice - coming over from the Samsung world and maybe I'm so used to the rooting methods there

Also do any of those steps prevent OTA updates?
Or is there somehow to still use OTA updates but simply need to reapply root on every occasion there is ah update?

Unlocking the bootloader will wipe your device. The other steps won't.
You need to have TWRP installed in order to be able to flash Magisk (for Root), and no you don't have to rebrand if you don't want to. You'll still be able to receive and download OTAs but if TWRP remains installed on your phone it won't be able to install unless you change back to the stock recovery. However there is methods to update with TWRP and you'll be able to get and install updates quicker than waiting for them to be pushed to you phone. That's the main reason people rebrand because generic European models are getting updates the fastest.
What's your device model and current firmware version from 'About Phone' in settings?

Thanks heaps for the advice - makes sense now!
I'm using the model CLT-L29 on C636 which I think is the Asia Pacific model.. And incidentally just received a OTA upgrade to the 128 firmware
.. So in order to receive OTA updates you simply have to change back to the stock recovery after using TWRP to install magisk and root?
But I imagine every time the OTA update occurs it wipes root?.. Which would mean reinstalling TWRP to regain root and doing the whole process again every time?

Yep you got it in one lol
The other option so that you don't have to flash TWRP then back to stock recovery each time is when you receive an OTA is download the same firmware (Full-OTA version) from Firmware Finder - you would just need the update.zip - then using Huawei update extractor you can extract the ramdisk.img Then copy the ramdisk.img to your phone, use Magisk manager to patch it then copy it back to your PC and flash it via fastboot. But I think this is more work than flashing between TWRP & stock recoveries haha

For the EMUI 8 to 9 tool you will need root. You can do it from TWRP if you wanted to.
But you will need an unlocked bootloader at least, else you won't be able to install it.
No service = its not a service firmware, as most are on androidhost.ru.
Everything works fine. I just flashed it.

It says "no service" because it's not a DLOAD firmware.

It won't with the EMUI8 tool as it is now.
I will edit the EMUI9 tool and upload it, it will only require unlocked bootloader.
Edit: You can just use the EMUI9 tool as is, it's using Oreo TWRP and Oreo NoCheck.

As I am sure that EMUI 9 comes with new bootloader, is it possible to flash it without flashing xloader? As the Custom treble rom I want to use do not work on 9.0 vendor, so I could downgrade back.
Or uses the EMUI9 the 02xloader? If 02 then I can upgrade it to try it out!

Hopefully the update doesnt come x years laters for the ones on the official beta lol, anyway have fun guys

Unlock phone, flash twrp by pretoriano80, flash Magisk zip in twrp.
Alternatively: unlock phone, patch ramdisk in Magisk Manager, flash patched ramdisk in fastboot.

Would this method work for upgrading BLA-L29c636 b145 to BLA-L29C636E2R1P13B159 (9.0.0.159)

Is there any chance of getting a working TWRP/root on this version?

Great news. I've just installed it without problems. Is there any safe way to unroot and relock bootloader?

Apparently the root developers, amongst others John Wu (Magisk), are working to get a simple way to root EMUI 9.0.
The root has already been confirmed to be working on the Huawei Mate 10 Pro and more devices should join the party sooner or later.

It should be needed to factory reset during the process.

Has anyone done it and can give some certain feedback? Thanks

I’m using the updater on an NE2211 and downloading the NE2215 full package, but when I go to local install, it says verification failed. I tried to download the local updater Apk, but it saves as a .ZIP and asks me to extract 1,200 files. Don’t think that’s right, but I don’t know.

You should never relock bootloader if any non-stock is installed. This will surely brick the device.
If you restore EVERYTHING back to stock (recovery, ROM, etc.), then you can relock the bootloader.
