Hi, my Nexus 5x has downloaded the new OTA but as I am rooted, bootloader unlocked and running TWRP I can't install it through the phone. Does anyone know which location this is downloaded to so that I can delete it? I can't find it anywhere. There is nothing in /cache.
Thanks.

Use chainfires "flashfire" to apply update.

As always do a nandroid!
I didn't know that I could do it this way if I was rooted, bootloader unlocked and running TWRP. I was going to use Step 9 of Heisenburgs guide to do this.

You can download apk directly from chainfires site but you will have to manually update in the future.

If you've received the OTA update only, please comment.

Yes it does. You will need to re-root then re-flash CWM
And if I'm just using the stock ROM, just rooted?

It will still remove root, so you just need to re-root afterwards. You won't lose any data though as it doesn't re-lock fastboot or anything. Literally took 2 minutes.
Is there a guide to rerooting without unlocking fastboot, as I assume this differs from the original rooting process for this phone using the modified img and bat file?

Unfortunately no, you'll need the bootloader unlocked for the superboot method until there is a better root solution available

What I meant is that this OTA does not lock the bootloader. The bootloader is therefore unlocked. All I'm asking for is a step-by-step guide to rerooting from that state, with it unlocked.
Hmm this is weird. I was prompted to install the OTA fix. I just have the stock Google ROM, rooted and that's it. It rebooted, showed the wireframe hexagon animation for a second, and went to an android with a /!\ exclamation mark. I had to remove the battery.
Now I can't update and it has disappeared from the update page in phone settings. Check for update doesn't bring it back.
Is there a place to download the update patch?
Same thing happened to mine. I just found a zip of the update here and flashed it via CWM. You will still need to re-root and re-flash CWM.

And here it is! Just rename to update.zip and place in the SD Card root folder, then reboot into recovery and install update.zip:

Hi guys, i need to learn something.
I use Bigxie [ROM] [OTA] [GSM] Android 4.2.2 JDQ39: Rooted Busybox Deodexed
and want to update 4.3 with similar;
Fireb33 [ROM] [JB] [JWR66Y] Galaxy Nexus 4.3 stock (deodexed, rooted, busybox)
So do I need to vipe anything or just download and flash via Twrp?
And better for me is: can i just download an "update.zip" (for same root-busybox-deodexed stock rom) instead a huge rom file?
Will i lose any data with any way?
Hello
Today i recieved the jellybean ota update. its not working. i searched for a while and found out that ill have to update it with something called cwm and this requires root, but i dont want to root my phone. so i thought it would be possible to downgrade my device but apparently this also requires root. I have an unlocked bootloader but is there no way to update/downgrade my device without using root?

cwm does not require root, just an unlocked bootloader.

dafuq? it was written everywhere so can please someone delete this thread?
Forgive me, I am new to "pure google" devices.
I am on build NRD90R. I used the nexus root toolkit to unlock the bootloader and root the device.
I am being prompted for a new OTA. Probably just the october security update. Do i need to "unroot" before i can take the OTA or will this overwrite what it needs to?
thanks.

OTA will download, but it won't install if there are any changes to system partition. You could fastboot flash the factory image files if your bootloader is unlocked.

OK cool. It looks like the new update to NRT supports the latest build so I should be good to go. Thanks.

I have a Google edition Pixel XL on Vzw's network. I have only had it for a few weeks. I am currently running android 8.1.0, unlocked bootloader, with root and Majisk 16.0. Just a short while ago, I received a notification that there is an update available- specifically a Security update available and the update size is 68.2 MB. This leads up to my question.
Do I need to do anything special prior to installing this "security update"? Do I install this update? I am coming from a Samsung Galaxy Note 3 so I am certainly not up on the does/don'ts of this bootloader unlocked, with root and Majisk 16.0.
Thanks so much in advance.

You cannot have any root or magisk or xposed installed to apply the update. Your bootloader can be unlocked though. To unroot to update just flash the boot.img. also can't have twrp installed

I followed Tenn3r's guide. You don't have to do anything special you just have to flash magisk again.

there is also this guide # 4
https://forum.xda-developers.com/pixel-xl/how-to/guide-pixel-xl-android-8-1oreo-unlock-t3715279
these worked fine for me. The only thing is I had to put my factory image files in the platforrm-tools folder.

Do I need to uninstall majisk and twrp first when using the factory image files?
No. I don't even have to uninstall Xposed. You'll have to flash twrp and magisk again tho.

I just updated to Android 9, and I want to know if there's someone working on a TWRP for this Android version or if there is already a way to root it. Thanks

Check this link for twrp: https://forum.xda-developers.com/z2-play/development/twrp-3-2-0-0-moto-z2-play-albus-t3715660
Yea you can root like any other Moto phones. First you've to unlock the bootloader then you can root and install twrp. To unlock bootloader check google.

You are not talking about anything in particular friend that version of twrp produces bootloop on the phone, it can only be started temporarily, I think they have not updated to the latest version of recovery
