I would like to flash Franco on 5.1.1 to help with battery. To use it and configure it i need root. I got a nexus for the ota. Can I simply do fastboot flash boot/system boot.IMG/system.IMG? And take the ota?
Thanks!

no.
any kind of system file changes, and i mean any, and the ota will not flash. you would have to flash the factory image, then take the ota, or.. you can flash a custom recovery, your kernel, and root. then flash the update in a flashible zip form, via your recovery. and keep root, your kernel, and everything else.

Yes. If you root and flash a custom kernel, fastboot.flashing a system and boot image will undo that.

absolutely.
it makes it much easier than waiting for an update, unrooting/flashing a factory image, taking the ota, then setting everything up again
Can someone explain this to me as to why https://android.googleapis.com/pack...amu-ota-LMY48I-from-LMY47Z-superblock-fix.zip gives me the following error shown in the attach picture?
Looks like it should match correctly but sideload is errorring out saying otherwise
C:\Users\Double\AppData\Local\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools>adb shell getprop ro.build.fingerprint
google/shamu/shamu:5.1.1/LMY47Z/1860966:user/release-keys
C:\Users\Double\AppData\Local\Android\android-sdk\platform-tools>
Do it from stock recovery. It's kinda broken in twrp because twrp was build with a build.prop with old user keys so it won't let you flash it. All the Ota zip will see is those old user keys and kill it every time. Stock recovery will work.

I'm having the same problem with TWRP and the TMO LYZ28J update. How do I get back to stock recovery? Is it just a matter of uninstalling TWRP and reinstalling it when I'm done?

Install the stock recovery in fastboot, you can download it from the factory images or just search for it

If you have TWRP, chances are your rom would be modified in some way so the OTA Won't work anyway.

I'm stock rooted, are you saying that won't work? What's the proper way to install this update without losing data?
I'm used to flashing updates from recovery, so this whole sideload thing is new to me.

Correct, root is a modification. An OTA will not flash unless the rom and kernel are 100% as expected.. This is regardless of whether the OTA zip is flahsed in adb sideload or as an OTA natively.
If there is a J factory image available, fastboot flash the system.img and boot.img and you're updated.
If there is not, do the above but with the version the OTA expects. .. Then flash the OTA

Thanks for the info! Since Google says they will release these updates monthly, I'm hoping to find a simple, painless, and repeatable method to do these updates. Will flashing your suggestions lose root or data?

It will lose root, but you just flash supersu from recovery
I had to flash the stock recovery back on and then did the OTA update. :-/ I really like my full system backups that TWRP does though..

You can certainly download the OTA through updater app however applying is not possible for rooted Mi5 witih TWRP.

Are both custom recovery AND root the problem for OTA, or just the recovery?
If I leave stock recovery, and do full unroot with SuperSU, will then OTA still work?

You would have to try that.. I didn't try this method.. I downloaded the full rom from en.miui.com and flashed through TWRP... and then flashed SuperSu.. this would ensure that data remains and rom is rooted and updated.
Moreover, generally MIUI OTA updates are same size as the original rom, so doesn't matter if you download full rom or OTA.
Thanks. OK then. So generally I can install both TWRP and root. And when I get OTA notification, i just download the full rom, and flash it using MiFlash tool, without wiping data and phone storage? That way I will still have all my apps, but will obviously have to root again (and maybe put TWRP?), right?

download the full rom zip file and flash it using TWRP.. no need to flash using MiFlash tool.. you'll flash to flash supersu zip again.. no need to get TWRP again as it is still there and ya all yours apps and data will be there.

No, miui ota are much smaller than full rom. They are just just 100 or 200 MB if you update regularly. There is a modified twrp called zcx. If has an option to flash incremental ota zip without losing root or recovery. Search on afh.
Dear XDA,
Can I update my phone (OOS 3.5.4), to OnePlus3TOxygen_28_170114 via OTA?
It's been rooted and I'm using the TWRP recovery.
No custom kernel.
No, you need to download the full OTA and flash it in TWRP.
My advice is do not do a dirty flash.
I wiped Data and System and battery life has been amazing after.

Can I only download it via OTA on my phone then?
Do I get to keep root, TWRP and files?
Download the full rom from https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-3t/how-to/rom-oos4-0-nougat-op3t-leaked-t3523482
move it to phone and load twrp

You will get OTA, after Root also, but after updating your root will gone, recovery will replaced by Stock recovery, and if You are decrypted after update
it will get encrypted.

Does stock recovery not allow zip flashing?

It allows local upgrade, but it has not much flexibility like TWRP.
I've just updated from 4.0.2 to 4.0.3 and here's how my "OTA" was working:
1) Got notification that the update is available
2) Went to XDA to download OOS 4.0.3. full ROM zip, TWRP 3.1.4.1 image and Magisk 11.1 root
3) rebooted to TWRP, flashed new ROM, Magisk root and TWRP image.
As far as I know, that's the only sure way to update your phone while keeping root and TWRP.
Does it pass safety net?

Yes, it does! With MagiskHide it works like a charm.

I'm sorry, i didn't fully understand what you were trying to say here
But i'll take a wild guess and tell you that in TWRP you always need to flash full ROM, not OTA version. Otherwise your phone won't boot.

Nope, it never wipes anything other than system, so all your data and apps are safe.

Hello, sorry for my bad english (German). I installed the update too and now my root, recovery, kernel.... are away. When I try to flash the recovery or other stuff with cmd, is there an error message: FAILED (remote: Partition flashing is not allowed)
Got anyone an idea how i can flash my recovery again?
