Hi everyone!
New Android 7 Developer RUU is out. I remember that there were several problems with the last Android 6 security updates in September and October. So it wasn't possible to root with the latest SuperSU.zip
Instead you had to use an older version and update to the latest version with Play Store later.
Before I flash the Android 7 RUU, I would like to know if anyone already has experience with rooting latest Stock ROM?
Any problems which occurred? And if the root process was successful, which SuperSU Version have you used? Thanks in advance!

I've used this to root stock Nougat ROM and it worked fine https://download.chainfire.eu/1014/SuperSU/SR5-SuperSU-v2.78-SR5-20161130091551.zip
Anyway make a backup.. just in case it doesn't work
EDIT: It will reboot the phone at least 2 times before booting into system

Do we need to modify system in twrp? before installing this?

No there's no need, at least I didn't change anything and it worked well
I just wanted to add this as a note as I did not see anyone else having these issues in nougat (7.0). Do not install SuperSU 2.78-201609011115. If you do your mobile data option in the notification bar will be grayed out. Your cell signal will have a slash through it and cell signal will no longer work. I do not know if other versions of SuperSU will also cause this symptom.
If this happens to you restore from a backup in recovery or if need be run the RUU again.
Mat08.cc's linked version of SuperSU does work!!!! Thanks!
My m9 doesn't want to upgrade. After it download the Nougat ,it says that I'm running modified system. My phone is att but converted to developer edition. The way I was updating my phone each time so far was with RUU file and I didn't gave any issues until now. Please help . Thanks in advance.

Excuse me, I did not understand.. The phone has received the upgrade but can not install it?
Yes, that is correct. The issue was that my CID was 11111111. Changed it to BS_US001, downloaded, installed successfully. Now I just ran in another issue. Tried to root it so I did: twrp 3.0.2, then installed supersu-v2.78, device booted, cinfirmed rooted but doesn't recognize that there is a sim card inside. Ideas? Thank you!!!

Definitely an incorrect SuperSU apk. Use the one in OP of http://forum.xda-developers.com/one-m9/general/nougat-coming-t3513698
Okay. Will try and get back to you. Thanks
P. S. Am I the only ine who is experiencing Messages failing and sending reports to HTC? Ever since I switched to Nougat, every time when I receive/send a text the app fails and when I try to access notifications it fails automatically as well. Ideas? Thank you

Reporting back:
After installing the SuperSU that you gave, everything works normally. Thank you very much.
There is an update which my phone didn't want to install. It said that the update is for himaulatt and my phone is himaul. Is it because phone is rooted and with twrp recovery? When I install the update manually via RUU from laptop, works fine. It just pisses me off cause I have tk start from scratch with my phone but update is successful. Had this issue for a while now amd was trying to figure it out. I really don't want to keep wiping the phone every single time there is an update. Thank you in advance.
Best Regards

I just read the threads you gave me. I understood the process. I will search for the zip file cause this seems to stop me right now. Everything else makes sense from top to bottom. Thank you very much once again.
So it looks like the major feature added is the Google Play assistant, which I don't even use on my phone.
But also, I believe the latest version of YouTube will be the stock app, which I just don't like.
I am rooted, which I realize will go away after the upgrade. But also, I don't have anything installed that requires root really. I wanted to take advantage of some xposed features, but apparently there is no version of the framework that supports nvidia shield tv 5.2?
So is it worth upgrading right now? Has anyone tried it? Anything notable worth upgrading for?
I'm in the same situation (rooted) as you. I tried to update, but I end up in TWRP and I don't know what to do from there. If I boot system it just start up as normal and ask me again to update.
Any ideas? Anyone?
What to do, what to do?

I have a stock shield (not rooted), but had backed off the YouTube app to be the old one (the one that works with secondary accounts).
I let it upgrade and it did not force a YouTube update. After it finished, I'm still running YT 1.3.11. So you should be okay there.
Of course other than Google Assistant, I haven't found much new. What I really want is for Google Assistant to work with Google Play Music, but it doesn't do that (yet?).
I'm in the same boat as you guys. Currently rooted and debating the upgrade. I would think that we could update via flash fire if someone knows where the ota is stored once it downloads.

I hear you guys. I will wait for OTA update to be downloadable or I might even consider returning to stock. I really don't have any use for root now.
FYI, Doesn't work with flashfire.

That's not a developer image right? wouldn't think it would work unless it is the developer image or your bootloader is locked
I got mine to update even though its rooted.
After it finished downloading, it rebooted into twrp and installed the update automatically with no issues.
I did however get some issues after it finished updating.
The recovery/twrp is gone and cant boot into that anymore.
Root is of course gone.
And now im also just getting a black wallpaper in the launcher instead of the default nvidia one.

I would assume the OTA is a developer image. Since it couldn't get flash fire to work, I reflashed the stock recovery image and applied the OTA, but it kept freezing and after about 10 minutes it would just boot into the original os.

Sorry I meant the developer rooted image that Nvidia usually releases shortly after a upgrade that you can flash over a unlocked bootloader and root and keep root

I've seen a few fixes for screen issues, either making sure in advanced display resolution settings things are correct, or disabling/renabling the CEC in settings.
You may want to check out the nvidia geforce forums thread, I'd probably start out middle to last several pages (assuming you read this soon, in a few days you'll just have to take a guess as there will be way more pages) https://forums.geforce.com/default/.../shield-experience-upgrade-6-0-for-shield-tv/
I think there's a post about chroma clipping which may be what yours is doing, but it could be some of the HDR stuff or something with the HDMI or CEC issues for all I know.
Hi,
i have a 2015 Shield (root) with 5.2 image.
I would back to stock image and unroot my shield.
I have download the "nv-recovery-image-shield-atv-5.2.0".
my approach.
*** Prerequisites:
1. Ensure that the bootloader is unlocked (see above step)
*** Flashing instructions:
1. Execute these commands on the host PC:
fastboot flash staging blob
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash vendor vendor.img
fastboot reboot
Is this the right way?
Thanks!

Hey guys,
Im at dp3 beta android 9. Today a lot of my friends got the dp4 update but I keep trying to get the ota and nothing for me. Anyway I can get it? I remember there was one builds that updating the playstor3 would make you get the update ota.
My phone is unlocked and I'm using UK number.
Thanks for your time

Bootloader locked? Sign up here and you'll get the ota https://www.google.com/android/beta
If bootloader is unlocked, download the image from here, extract and run the script. Make sure latest Google platform tools are installed.

or simply sideload the OTA file.

Soooo.....I just bought this phone, unlocked the bootloader and installed Magisk.
Today, I got a system update notification saying Android Pie is ready to download.
Anybody else getting this and if so, I have to go back to 100% stock in order to upgrade right? Then unlock BL again?
Mine isn't showing the update yet. I've got the TA-1068. Not unlocked or anything.
It is possible someone jumped the gun, releasing it too early, and they pulled it so can't download it.
Not yet available on my nokia 6.1. I think we are a couple of weeks away from the update.

What security update level of android 8.1 are you on?
Good luck getting 100% back to stock.
I have a TA-1045 and I unlocked the bootloader and installed Magisk on the July patch of android 8.1. I get update prompts for the August security update, but the update won't install. I tried completely removing Magisk, but it stills fails with "Installation Failed". I don't think anyone has a stock recovery image (at least for TA-1045) to restore
At this point if you flash twrp/magisk you have no way of restoring to stock and accepting OTA updates. You will be stuck on the update you are on until someone figures out a way to take OTA updates or someone gets a hold of stock firmware images for your device (none yet for TA-1045)

Nope - don't think its Chinse - it appears to be a "global" or international version. I don't really notice a difference from my original stock.
I got it from here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/no...-to-flash-global-firmware-pl2-222e-0-t3831764
And was able to flash the "extracted version" with fastboot. I used some fastboot instructions that I found for a chinese rom and changed the filenames to match the worldwide filenames and it worked without the OST tool

You should have pulled the OTA link from a logcat so the rest of us can download the update files and upgrade ourselves :/
I guess this OTA is a fake. No one with a Nokia 6.1 has reported getting an Android Pie notification. It's super rare that just one single person will get it.

This. Unless OP is an insider and just dun goof'd, then I fail to see this as legit.
Slightly off-topic:
I was on the June security patch on my 6.1 until yesterday. I received an OTA notification while half asleep and got all excited thinking it was the Pie update, but no, it was the July security patch. What's interesting is that immediately after installing I received the notification for the August security patch, and promptly installed that. May just be me being lucky, but that almost imples that HMD are trying to push out the latest security updates to devices as a way of preparing for Pie maybe?

I got the July update in July and then I got the August update on August. I don't know why yours took a while to update. Mine and other that I know, get the update for the month the same month.
Anyone been able to successfully receive an OTA to the beta yet? Enrolled my device last night the moment I got it home and nothing so far.
Disclaimer: I'm using a carrier and bootloader locked T-Mobile version; still hoping I can eventually get TForce to carrier unlock this for me sooner rather than later otherwise i'll just return it and get one direct from good old El Goog.
Did they get magisk for the 3XL yet; last I read over there they didn't have it for Q on the XL.
This true. I spent a couple hours on this last night and it does not work. I went back to pie.
I think it may not be specific to your TMobile branded Pixel. I've bought one straight from Google and have opted in but have yet to receive the update.
I've tried flashing the Q Beta 3 image from Googles dev site, but get an error when flashing system so haven't been able to flash it. Doesn't help that the latest version in for March.

That's pretty much what I figured, but wasn't certain. Good to have some feedback from others; sounds like we can pretty much confirm that it isn't being pushed to the 3a devices yet.
I got my Pixel 3a XL Wednesday (from the Google Store) and I got the OTA for Android Q beta immediately after enrolling the device. Stupid question, but did you go into System updates and check there?

By 3aXL came from bestbuy and had no problem flashing the Q-Beta 3. It was really nice but could not root the phone with canary Magisk, so I went back to pie.

If I may, what was your flashing environment? When I initially tried to flash the Q beta 3 I was told that to flash system.img I needed fastbootd. I have tried using linux as well as minimal ADB and fastboot on windows.

I had trouble but got this error and got the latest version then fastboot worked. I saw the fastbootd come up on the phone while q-beta was flashing.
fastboot too old; please download the latest version at https://developer.android.com/studio/releases/platform-tools.html
Looks like Pixel 3a and 3a XL were removed from eligible devices on the beta sign up page.
I wonder what's up?

Wow. Thanks for that. I thought fastbootd was a mistype when they were compiling. I didn't know that it was a whole other thing. Seems to be more akin to what recovery previously was on some older devices.
I'm curious to how you guys got the OTA update for Q. When I try to enroll this is what I come across.

I did not get the OTA. I downloaded the firmware image and flashed it.
Android q beta isn't ready for the pixel 3a/3a xl until June
An FYI... I just wandered over to Papajohnwu's Twitter and he is saying he'll be ready for Q.That's some good news, hate to be stuck on Pie forever.
If you have a 3a (xl) from a carrier like T-Mobile where to boot loader is locked, if you're able to use adb/fastboot to flash beta 3, you very well may not be able to revert the phone to Pie. I'm stuck as I got mine on the day TMO put them on sale, then opted in to the beta expecting to be able to opt out, well considering they removed that option, I'm now stuck on Q..
Got it on my P3aXL.
Got the device SIM-unlocked from carrier (T-Mobile).
Toggled OEM Unlocking in Developer Options.
Downloaded new adb/fastboot (If you have not done this in the last week, do this now.)
Rebooted to fastboot mode.
Ran "fastboot flashing unlock"
Let it reboot to welcome screen
Booted back into fastboot.
Ran flash-all from Q Beta 3 Full Image download (Still available from Google).
No issues so far. Disabled Digital Wellbeing, enabled full-gesture control, enabled Dark mode override in developer options, and it is so nice.
PM me if you need any help or clarification on the steps I used.
I'm curious how you got it unlocked from T-Mobile. I picked mine up on release day and when I got around to checking, OEM Unlocking was greyed out. Did you do this before installing a SIM?
Thanks!

Got it on my P3aXL.
Got the device SIM-unlocked from carrier (T-Mobile).
Toggled OEM Unlocking in Developer Options.
Downloaded new adb/fastboot (If you have not done this in the last week, do this now.)
Rebooted to fastboot mode.
Ran "fastboot flashing unlock"
Let it reboot to welcome screen
Booted back into fastboot.
Ran flash-all from Q Beta 3 Full Image download (Still available from Google).
No issues so far. Disabled Digital Wellbeing, enabled full-gesture control, enabled Dark mode override in developer options, and it is so nice.
