Hey, so I am all new to rooting, I have rooted my G6 H870 with TWRP and Magisk, I have been getting messages on the phone telling me to install a software update, but after some browsing around I am told not to do it directly via the install button and that I need to flash the update, how do I do this?
As far as I know I need to install the update and flash it with FlashFire so all my data won't disappear, is this correct?
I am scared to root my G6 D:
Its easy bro. You need just download the update as a zip file and flash it with twrp without deleting your data or anything
What update have you recevied ? 11i ?
If yes that the zip file

Yes, it is 11i. So I just need to flash it with TWRP and none of my data, files or memory will be deleted?

This OTA-Update will update your french (Retail.en.FR) MotoG from Blur_Version.174.44.9.falcon_umts.Retail.en.FR to Blur_Version.176.44.9.falcon_umts.Retail.en.FR.
Don't get fooled by the filename this is indeed the 176.44.9 update. You might need to change the file name to "Blur_Version.176.44.9.falcon_umts.Retail.en.FR.zip" in order to install via SDCARD (copy renamed update to /sdcard/ on your phone) method
http://www.file-upload.net/download-8643048/Blur_Version.174.44.9.falcon_umts.Retail.en.FR.zip.html
MD5 checksum: 56934274b7985aad92ea4fc08bc29f12
PS: Please ignore the thread title. I've mixed up OTA and OTG . I've reported myself to get it changed.
... or without renaming it can be installed via stock (!) recovery.
Edit: Philz can be used too.

My experience is that root is not a problem. And when Philz recovery warns you about non-signed file, just ignore it.
Hey guys... I've flashed twrp and obviously now my Knox is 0x1... I saw that my phone is showing it's have been modified, what means that I can't receive OTA... I reed somewhere that I can fake this status with wanan xposed, and download the update by OTA, but I'll can't install... What I wanna know is if I can install that update via twrp, copying the downloaded update by OTA and pasting in the sdcard... because will be very annoying to download the full stock ROM, that have about 2gb, every time an update comes... thanks and sorry bad English
You don't mention what module you used but you might wanna give ROOTCLOAK a go.
Respect!

I have tried all things you have said (fake status by wanam, download OTA, copy to sdcard, install via custom recovery), but unfortunately unsuccessful.
What I have to do finally is download full stock firmware and flash via Odin. It's about 1.5GB I think, and all user data will be reserved.

But doing it without a full wipe doesn't bring bugs?

Nope, dont worry.
If you perform full wipe you will lose all data
Warning: This is probably gonna be a long post and may have typos.
Now, let's cut to the chase.
I'm currently on my Mate 8 emui.4, I had my phone rooted a while ago with TWRP and SuperSu. After rooting, I had the nougat update and I updated without knowing that it would remove TWRP and my root access. That was not the only problem! I couldn't switch on my Bluetooth. Also I lost the update option from the about phone location. I tried searching it in the search bar and clicking on the update button but, nothing would open up. And.. Yes, it was an official update. I tried to root it with the usual method but, it got me into a bootloop. I tried most TWRP versions but, it didn't seem to work! Either there would be no recovery (just a Black screen with some text) or the options inside the TWRP recovery wouldn't work. So I rerolled back to Mate 8 marshmellow. Now I don't have root, no TWRP or unlocked bootloader. So my question is if I should root my current phone version of emui.4 and be satisfied by it by unlocking bootloader now and rooting it, or update my phone to Mate 8 nougat again? If you're suggesting I update to nougat please provide me with ALL the necessary files to root Nougat and please guide me through. And provide me with the information on what to do in the worst case scenario too.. Please .
@Devil Chan
I think you should make like that:
Download the new firmware without to install it
Unpack the bigger file in a dload folder created on the external sd. You must to have a big file (more than 1 GB), inside you should find an update.app file, you put this one on the dload folder
Unlock bootloader
Install insecure boot for your current firmware (B200)
Install twrp
Reboot to twrp
Wipe - factory reset
Format data
Power off your phone
Install new firmware via the 3 buttons combo
After installation, make a factory reset via erecovery
Power off the phone and reboot to bootloader
Install Decrypted data boot for the B560
Install frd-twrp
Reboot to the twrp
Format data
Reboot to the twrp
Install update data of NXT-L29C185B560, I think you also have it in the downloaded files of your new firmware
Install supersu EMUI 5.0
Reboot system - normally fully rooted
For the 1 & 2, I think the files are like I said, if no, don't make this tuto. You shall see otherwise.
For the 4, it's the little issue. You must to recover a stock boot B200 and I could make you the insecure boot or Decrypted data boot, it's almost the same.
For the root questions, we can continue here.
This may seem very complicated but don't worry, it's not!

First of all thank you so very much for replying,
I'm sorry, I'm a newbie. I have a few questions.
Where do I download the firmware from? link me to it please?
What is insecure boot? Flash using fastboot? Link?
7 and 8, Factory reset doesn't format data? Using erecovery or TWRP?
What's frd-twrp? How do I install it?
Step 10 and 18, after installing the new firmware, why would I need to update it? How do I update it?
Can you make me the insecure boot? I don't know how to use it? Do I just flash it with fastboot?
Sorry got asking so many questions.. I feel really bad asking this many.
I can't answer now, I try to answer you later.

Your first screenshot, you can update it there.
Insecure boot is a boot.img which enable you to decrypt your data folder. It's necessary to root. You flash it with fasboot, ok.
Yes, Factory reset doesn't format the data
TWRP
it's a unofficial twrp for Nougat. You flash it with fasboot
Because you should format the data before
Via TWRP if it's really like I think (obtained files in the update)
Yes if I've the stock boot. Normally you can recover it via ADB
Yeah

If I update from the location of the screenshot, won't it update automatically?
Possibly final question, I get files for step 10 from the screenshot location.. But, where do I get the file for step 18 that I have to install with twrp?

Normally no.
Normally it proposes you at least 2 files, one bigger than 1 GB and another smaller than 1 GB. First is update and second is update data

1. So I have to place the first on in dload and second one update with TWRP?
2. In case I mess up something... I just have to reroll back to marshmellow using dload with the older update data. Right?
? Thank you so very.. Very.. Very much for you time
I'm sorry for asking so many questions! Again..

The first should be update.app file extracted to the big file (above 1 GB), you will put it in dload. The second will be a zip what you will install with the TWRP.
Via dload method, yes!
Show me files once downloaded in order to be sure!

So this week i hadn't time enough to install the august update since my phone is rooted so i decided to do it now. What i did before trying to download the update :
1.Deleted all magisk modules that i had then rebooted
2.Unistalled magisk using restore image then rebooted
3.Went to sys update downloaded and it says installation failed
What do to? I'm not rooted now and i don't have twrp installed.
PS. don't want to install it via fastboot/miflash
Follow this guide in future. https://github.com/topjohnwu/Magisk/blob/master/docs/tips.md#ota-installation-tips
To fix your problem now, find a stock boot image for your update version you are currently on and flash it.

If you don't want to use Miflash (Why ?) you can boot temporary TWRP and flash .zip here:

I'm facing same issue and I was following the guide.
Same here, can't install set Ota, even after remove magisk.
Other thing, cell won't show screen to put pin to boot, previous pin of sim so I think encryption is disable!? Any idea?
After Root and Install TWRP, when I want to wipe the data accidentally I also delete the system, and when I want to reboot the device there is a notification "NO os installed! are you sure wish to reboot?"
What should I do? sorry I'm still new to this.:crying:
thank you in advance

You have twrp. Flash any available custom rom or modify the Updater script in stock rom and flash it via twrp.
Go to this thread for instructions regarding editing the updater script.

After flashing the stock rom flash the decrypt zip too.
