Guys, I got the notification to update my ZE551ML to WW_2.20.40.59_20150807_7712_user_rel. Problem is, I already rooted and uninstalled many bloatware. Fortunately though, I've backed up all the bloatware before I uninstalled them with Titanium Backup. Will I be able to update my phone if I were to restore all of the original apps? And do I need to remove root/and or Xposed completely or do I just turn off root via SuperSU? Thanks in advance.
PS: I've tried updating the update directly prior to WW_2.20.40.59_20150807_7712_user_rel and it failed. I didn't restore any bloatware last time though. And I have NOTHING to do with any boot loader because I don't understand any of it. Please give me step by step to successfully update my phone (preferably without OTA).
I have the same question please help me

Good idea to check MD5 sum if you can, unless you like to live life on the edge or just can't wait that extra minute or so (like me)....

Better idea, TWRP backup before doing anything.
Easiest way?
Apply pre rooted image, you will not loose your setting or need unfreeze or reinstall bloatwear, just will need reinstal busybox and Xposed framework and update superSU. This is the fast way, Xposed will also wipe cache so phone will run smothie.

Yeah, but it takes so long.... And not everyone had the forethought to unlock their bootloader. Though I suppose you could still do it with the untethered TWRP too...

Will this exploit work in any other device. when i try to install the play store warns about the vulnerability. Will this vulnerability be gone after uninstalling oppoown.

It should be patched in 4.4.
But some (read most) OEMs still can't manage to patch their devices up to the latest security updates on release.
Anyway, I tested this root method a week or so ago and it works nicely

It depends on if OEMs backported it, depends on which build OEMs used and depends on the bug. Four or five different zip parser bugs with similar results. This one I used was patched in 4.3, but other exist.
Im trying to figure out why oppown apk will not install in my n1. everytime i try it just. Says app not installed. But on the install screen it says something about being an update to an already installed program. Any clues as to what the issue is? all ive done is update to the latest ota software and im currently located in indonesia if that makes a difference.

It should not come rooted, if it comes rooted then no way did it pass CTS. I'm guessing unlocking the bootloader and flashing a recovery? I don't know, I dont have one

You don't need to root if you aren't staying on stock. There's no lock anywhere on the bootloader or anything.
Simply flash TWRP in fastboot, then flash Omni (or whatever else) through TWRP.
You should be able to just flash a SuperSU zip in TWRP as well if you want to root the stock ColorOS.

Thank you
giuliano rigon said:

2) put it in root of the telephone Yes
Make sure to copy Omnirom to your phone at some point
3) flash it in recovery? No - Flash TWRP in Fastboot if you haven't flashed the recovery already. Use the official Teamwin site for guidance
4) reboot recovery wipe cache and dalvik flash omnirom.. Wipe Cache, Dalvik, System, and Data

This is off-topic for this thread though. Questions/Info for flashing Omnirom should be addressed in the Omnirom thread.

That does work. You're likely not removing root, but rather just uninstalling SuperSU.

Hello! So, the new software upgrade has came out 10L (my version is 855 european) and I'm rooted (with IOroot). Intalled Xposed Framework and these modules: AppOpsXposed, BootManager, Complete Action Plus, G3 TweaksBox, Greenify, Instragram downloader, Keepchat, XHangouts and Youtube AdAway.
What shall I have to do to install the update that has come out? Unistall Xposed and the modules and unroot or theres other method I should do?
Thanks!
Just flash it and reroot again! Thats All!

Wouldn't it work, If I unistalled the Xposed + modules and unrooted the device, with super SU for example? And then update it OTA?
Sure, but to flash and reroot is much easier and faster!

I was just asking this, because I had a nexus 5 and once I started to flash new versions of software... I couldn't no longer update OTA, it always gave me an error while downloading.. I'm just afraid that will happen to my G3, because now I like to flash, but sometimes, I just want to download OTA and I don't like when I receive an error, because that means, something is not the way it was supose to.
But thanks
Btw do you recommend any video/ post on the forum that helps with the flash of the new version?
Thanks again

Pros and cons of each other
A few months ago I rooted my phone (z00ad) so I could remove some bloatware that came with it.
I used titanium back-up to delete those apps, and of course I first made an back-up of an app before i deleted it.
But I was stupid enough to accidently delete DMClient (the system update app).
So as soon as I discovered that I was very happy with my back-up but everytime I try to re-install it it says app not installed.
I also tried to use a third party installer called system app installer but it gives me an error that says: Mounting error, Cannot mount system partition as Read/Write.
So what should I do?
Can it be fixed, or do I need to flash a complete new rom?
I still need to get very nice updates that I would really like to have so I would be really happy if someone could help me.

Yeah TI can't restore apps in the x86 way asus put them there. so i would recommend to freeze the apps instead of uninstalling them. You have to flash the pre-root firmware of the version you are on first, then you can update without a problem.

Hey guys, I'm fairly new to the android scene when it comes to the rom and rooting side of things so I just have a few questions about Sunshine and the whole process in general. Sorry if this may have already been asked but after a quick search many of the answers to these questions seem to be outdated.
1. Do you need to be rooted in order to use Sunshine?
2. If I do, is there any method to root my phone? I can't seem to find any without paying some money.
The only reason why I would want to root my phone is so I can use Titanium root and back up my data.
3. Do I have the order right?
Use Sunshine (gains S-off/unlocks bootloader)Install a custom recovery (TWRP)Super SU (Does this root my phone?)Install Cyanogenmod
4. If I have the order correct, at what point should I backup my data and when would my data get wiped?
5. And if I'm backing up my data should I back it up to my SD card and remove it, or do something else?
Once again, I'm sorry if most of the answers to these questions seem obvious but this is my first time tampering with my phone so I would appreciate any help!
Ok so a little update, I used sunshine, installed twrp, and tried to flash super su but I got stuck on a bootloop. Any help? I tried wiping the cache/dalvik.

The latest supersu zip will give you a bootloop. The previous version works fine. I don't have it anymore but you will need to download a rom and flash it.

Hey guys,
i have a rooted HTC 10 (unlocked) still on android 6. Now from time to time it acts weird so i thought i should just update.
what do i need to look for? is there root and xposed for 7? (I just need root for adblocker)
I have xposed, so i will use its uninstall script. how do i proceed from there? just OTA?

You can root 7. There is no xposed for 7.
To take the OTA, you need to have stock system partition and recovery. Since you're already rooted and using xposed, your system partition is likely modified (did you use Magisk?) and you won't be able to take the OTA. You'd have to restore a stock system and recovery, or the cleaner way is to run an ruu for your phone.

As mentioned by Magnum it's basically a fully contained file that restores your phones partitions back to stock. You need one to match your phone software version, you can't use one that's older that what you already have installed and you can't use one made for a different phone variant/region. That's unless you're s-off which it doesn't sound like you are.
First, read up a bit more about what an ruu is. Then, check out this thread and find the appropriate ruu for your phone in this thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/htc-10/how-to/stock-stock-collection-recovery-ruu-ota-t3359297
Or, if you bought your phone directly from htc in the US, download the latest RUU from HTC's website.
