[Q] I received the D851 10m OTA today. Some questions.

I have rooted, and I have xposed installed.
What is the upgrade procedure? Do I need to go so far as to remove root? Any advice appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi,
I have T-mobile LG G3 and I also received 154 MB update this morning. My device was rooted with Xposed installed. After the updated, i lost my ROOT access, everything else remains the same. Hope this helps.

Another question, I found the ota.zip should I make flashable/rooted version? As far as I have looked, no one else has done it yet

Yes please! :good:

Got this just now...but don't wanna lose root. The notification is annoying as hell. I would flash and update if it won't bork everything but I'd settle for just getting rid of the notification. Anybody know how to get rid of it??
Everything I do or have is custom.... Period.

When I long press, I see "App Info" and when I press it, it shows Google Play Services.
When it is disabled, does the update go away, or is it still on my G3 waiting to be installed?
Anyone know how this happened? I'm rooted, with custom everything, and I have OTA updates disabled!
I'm doing a TWERP backup anyway.
Anyone that has installed the update - did you get root back?

Its hiding the update zip from my computer on both my internal storage and sdcard over sub and my computer won't even seem to mountain my sdcard through the slot

[Q] Rooting after the new update(10m)

I haven't seen a clear answer on this, so does anybody know what root methods still work after the new update? If they all still do, is there anything I should do differently in the rooting process?

You have to wait till one of the methods gets an upgrade
BAD ASS G3

Well seeing as how the d851 boot loader is shipping unlocked from T-Mobile I think it would be pretty safe to say that once you manage to properly install the 10m OTA, you would simply flash TWRP from purpledrake in fastboot and from there flash supersu.

I used Stump root and mine is rooted again. I had to use the brute force root to get it done in Stump. After that I installed SuperU, TWRP and Busy Box.

Purpledrake probably replaced the M boot.img with the C boot.img. If it did that means your back on the C kernel and if it didn't you no longer have the modded disabled root checker.

Is anyone using Magisk?

If so, can you post a little about the initial setup? If you want to change kernels do you have to resort back to stock each time?
I understand you need to be completely stock when you install it the first time, I assume with an unlocked bootloader?

I got magisk running smoothly. I can share if anyone wants.

Sorry, what's Magisk?

I use Magisk on all Nougat roms. I haven't had any luck with "Chainfires" SuperSU v2.78 or any other version for that matter. I think the set up requires a couple more steps that just flashing a SuperSu zip like the one we are all used to but the benefits that come with Magisk are worth it and it just plain works. And if you use the Magisk manager you can also toggle SElinux on and off and turn root on and off for apps that require no root.. I have been on board since N hit and we has no working root accept for this, and once I used it I was hooked.

Yeah I'm enjoying it. Also the automagisk app helps with other apps.
I'm using the phh superuser and its been working fine. Just waiting for xposed to drop for N and I'll be happy.

Yes, please, if you don't mind. It's a bit of information overload in the magisk thread. I've been watching it intently as the program has developed. Just haven't pulled the trigger on flashing yet.

Yea no prob.
What I did was use the nexus root toolkit to unlock my bootloader (replacement phone) then followed this guide
http://blog.meltedpeng.com/easiest-way-to-install-systemless-root-and-xposed-on-your-nexus-5/
But I replaced the su with the phh super user from magisk.
I also did Franco kernel.
If I need to explain more let me know.

hie guys i am actually new to magisk and using this for pokemon go, my phone is nexus 6p and running android 7.1.1. Everything is working fine as i have checked on root checker pro, I am having some problems and i hope i will get some help here
1.) i am not able to move any app to system, error showing is 'can not remount system'
2.) when i restore any back up it restores till 53% and then stucks in bootloop
3.) i am not able to install any update even if i hide my root. tried flashfire also
and sorry for bad english

I flashed Magisk v 12, but not showing up in the Magisk manager app.
I'm on Google Pixel ROM(rooted), with SuperSU.
I thought that the installation guide on the Magisk site said that Magisk would over write SuperSU.
Whats your setup, and what process did you use to get Magisk working?

If the ROM does not come with root, reflash ROM and​ then magisk.

Magisk does not overwrite supersu, if it detects supersu it does not install it's own superuser version. It continues to allow the system use supersu.
If you want to use magisk and use magisk's su, then you'd need to use a rom that does not come rooted and then flash magisk.

Thanks for the explanation.
Finally got Magisk installed by removing SuperSU, reflashing the boot image (stock), then Magisk - all good!

A lot of apps won't work if they detect root, or if the SafetyNet won't pass. Android Pay is one of them, but a lot of banking apps, Pokemon Go, Mario Run, etc won't work.

The modules are worth it. I only use a few for the camera, like 60fps video or EIS, and they're quite nice.

Are you trying to install google pay while rooted? If so you need to unroot before you install Pay. You will also need to hide Pay from root using magisk hide.

Nope. However, if your just testing to see if your app works without root, I'd dirty flash your rom, then flash twrp again and let it boot up. You won't have root, but all your modules will still be there if you want to root again :good:

Thanks Badger!

Well I disabled all overlays except for Android system because I cannot undo it without root and still having issue with drawing over. Unable to hit the next button after after entering my three digit code and agreeing to the terms and conditions.

And it doesn't seem to work with the busybox from Magisk modules, says it can't detect root. That's actually the reason I don't use Magisk either right now, even though I've managed to install it and other stuff seemed to work ok (eg. Xposed). Titanium can't detect root, and if you try to install Stericson's Busybox it says something about unrecognized binary and refuses to install.
