I am stock rooted right now on 5.1 but want to update to Marshmallow.
What is the easiest method for this?
I did this method originally while on 5.1:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-m9/orig-development/recovery-twrp-touch-recovery-t3066720
I was going to restore my stock system backup in TWRP and then do the OTA and then do the above procedure again to obtain root.
I wasn't sure if I had to go through this same exact procedure again to go from root in 5.1 to root in Marshmallow or if things have changed.
TIA

Just use the latest ruu. Doesn't wipe. Flash twrp and supersu afterwards to RE root

No. OTA updates require stock recovery. However, you can revert to stock recovery and unroot as you please. Also, you can flash OTA updates through TWRP once a flashable zip is made, except you have to download it and flash it manually, just like installing a custom ROM. Cheers.

I received the last update through OTA on a rooted Stock ROM with TWRP installed.
After the install was finished TWRP asked if I wanted to restore the root. All went smoothly.
To clarify.. I did not flash the ROM. I used the normal OTA update.

I believe you can on small point updates. The full update from 4.3 to 4.4 most likely won't work with a custom recovery.

you must have stock /system folder + stock recovery
you can be rooted, by if you delete some files in /system - you break your ota
new ota will be with new radio too
after ota super-su apk will be removed by the ota
---------------
i restored /system apps from sdcard before 4.3 ota and migrate very well from 4.2.2
The ota 4.3 update removed my root and Twrp. Hope 4.4 doesn't do the same. It's always a pain for me to restore root with my Windows 7 laptop. It keeps installing the wrong usb drivers which get in the way of the wugfresh toolkit access to the nexus 7. So it's no easy task for me.
Hi everyone.
I have the D855 model of G3 with 4.4.2 (KitKat) stock version installed without root. Yesterday, I receive the notification of update to lollipop but I haven't done it yet.
I pretend to root the lollipop version (or at least, wait for a method to root, because there is no way yet, right?). What's the best procedure to do it?
a. Update to lollipop and wait a method to root it?
b. Backup my actual version before update so, in case of not exist a root method to lollipop, I can restore KitKat, root it and them install a root version of Lollipop (if so, how I can make this backup since I don't have root?) ?
c. Root now, make a backup and them remove root to update by OTA or install a rooted version of lollipop?
Thanks in advance.
I just got an OTA notification for 5.1 too. I'm running GPE RUU rooted 5.0.1 with the latest TWRP recovery.
I got the firmware off of the link below
http://graffixnyc.com/m8.php
It has the stock recovery listed as version 3.11.1700.5. Should i flash this version or a more recent one?
Thanks in advanced for the help!
To flash the OTA you HAVE to bee 100% stock, not even root. OTA updates changed in Lollipop and if anything is different from the original system image it'll fail

I don't think that is the case regarding root. I think installing the update will mean I will loose root but as long as I have a stock recovery and system it should install. I'm just not sure about which version recovery to use..

Nope, it's ALL changed. In Lollipop if you're rooted, it'll fail. You HAVE to be 100% stock. It wasn't an issue pre-Lollipop, though

Does that mean that the only way to upgrade now for people who use root, Xposed, etc. is to do a Titanium Backup and then run a full RUU upgrade to the new image?
Backup your data, restore your stock backup (which you all made, of course), restore stock recovery and then apply the update and restore your data/re-root
I searched all the forums but could not find an upgrade procedure for those who want to upgrade 4.4.4 to 5.1 on a GPE rooted tablet with TWRP custom recovery.
Is this possible?
Do I need to go back to stock recovery, unroot, take the OTA and root again?
Thanks for your help. :good:
Hello,
I want to update to 6.0.1 marshmallow. My phone is rooted, unlocked bootloader with s on, stock 5.0.2 lollipop. I installed the elemental kernel to run viper4android. I'm able to install the stock recovery if I want, right now I have twrp. My question is what is the easiest way to update to marshmallow with out losing data and having to reset up my phone again? Also, if I go the OTA route, will I lose root? Is a custom ROM like revolution the best way? Want to make is as painless as possible.
Thanks,
RM
