[Moto G6 Plus] Update stock ROM? - Moto G6 Plus Questions & Answers

Greetings to the community
I have the Moto G6 PLUS with Android 8 build OPW113-89 reteu, root with Magisk (thread)
I also installed Xposed and some modules (Gravitybox and other)
Now I would like to update the rom. I downloaded the latest available of Oreo and Pie (from this thread; link reteu folder)
Is it possible to flash without deleting apps and data? I searched the forum but found nothing.
TIA

Sorry for my english, I use Google translate

Probably not recommended. Clean flash is always better.

It's possible, but might bring issues, if you're rooted.

I thought I would do this:
- uninstall magisk
- flash the ROM
- reinstall magisk
Is the procedure correct?
I just don't know how to flash the ROM without deleting apps and data. Tips?
Using TWRP would it work?
TIA

New Miui Version

Hey guys just wanted to point out that we have one of the newer versions of miui for our phone available here:
http://en.miui.com/download-244.html
It's what I'm going to be using for a bit.
It is for LB/UB
Cheers.
Here's a link to the basic gapps I used(play store only):
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23991606952608222
Instructions:
Boot into recovery, wipe cache data and dalvik cache. (I flashed from stock 4.4.2 with root and recovery)
Install miui zip.
Start up, use it a bit.
Reboot into recovery, wipe cache and dalvik cache.
Install gapps zip.
Here's a review with screenshots

Is there any thread for XZ2 Miui 6 on mi forums or could you share some screenshots.
Thank you.
Also, Is it required to go back to kitKat stock for flashing this ?

I flashed from 4.4.2 ftf after root and recovery but you can probably flash from anything if you do a complete wipe including kernel etc check op for screenshots

That's strange are you flashing with debugging enabled as well as unknown sources on a rooted version of 4.4.2?

You can't install it with flashtool. You need to root and install reocvery.

There is a new root method for lollipop roms. You can find it in here in the general section. And yes you have to put the rom file in the SD card. I suggest you to read everything about root, bootloader unlocking, TA backup, and recovery and only start it.

(Q) Android is upgrading problem

Whatever i reboot my phone, it will stuck in bootlogo and boot again...a way to reboot normally is to wipe dalvic cache and cache...but by doing that, it will always do a Android is Upgrading and will load about 5 to 10 minutes until it's finished...so it's a long time to wait for me to use my phone for every reboot...
I constantly changing my Sim card, so a reboot is necessary....this problem never occur to me before...i have flashes new rom evertime but the problem still persis....but i always dirty flashes every one of them...i also do a restore system and kernel image but not data..but still the same....i have to many apps and setting to do a clean flash...is their any other way beside that.
I'm in Xperia Z Ultra, Custom stock rom Lollipop 5.0.2 .242....
Any replies is appreciated....thanks[emoji4]

I found this when searching for a fix...
After gapps is flashed into my Galaxy S4, I kept getting "Android is Upgrading" on every reboot.Following steps had helped me to get rid of it.*
Open */system/framework*folder with Root Explorer*delete*com.google.widevine.software.drm.jar and*com.google.widevine.software.drm.odes delete*com.google.widevine.software.drm.xml*in*system/etc/permissions Now , reboot your device.
Will their be consequences when deleting these files...

Yes...but i always use it before but no problem....it only occur now...
And the custom rom is pre-installed with xposed...you think maybe some of the mod is the culprit or the whole xposed is at fault...

If you upgraded from 4.4 KitKat to 5.0 Lollipop you should update Xposed. Flash the newest Xposed, which fix bootloop problems and write if this was helpful.

If you were making your flashable prerooted .zip, you should use xposed-sdk21-arm-20150430.zip from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=3034811
Or, if you can, write how did you make your .zip or how did you upgrade to 5.0 Lollipop.

Thanks for the advise on clean install...
I did however manage to solve the problem when flash the latest xposed alpha 4...so the culprit is xposed all along...but the funny thing is, its seems superuser mod is unable to stick in my rom...some of the quick setting, and themes is stock even though i have used a mod themes....
Reinstall xperia xposed again and it went normal....all well here...

Since its 910C, it should be easy.
But remember, there is always a risk of bricking the phone.
Sh*its happens sometime.

There is a good chance that autoroot for 5.1.1 will works for 6.0.1
It happens with autoroot for 910H.
Or, you can just flash twrp using odin, flash bootloader using odin, and this rom using twrp.

flashfire to update via ota?

Has anyone successfully used flashfire to push an ota update to their g4 plus? I'm currently on mm, rooted via SuperSU, xposed, elemental kernel, and twrp. Also can't for the life of me find where the ota downloads to lol, also if flash fire works, should you first uninstall xposed, and revert back to stock kernel? Thanks

In Any Case If You Want to Install an OTA you will need Stock Recovery and I Would Say if want To Upgrade to Official 7.0
Use the Fastboot Method as It Will Override all your Mods like Xposed and EX Kernel ETC. Otherwise you May Get Some Issues

Awesome thanks bro! Ya the only reason I wanted to update stock was for the nougat radio, want to flash Tesla etc. But don't want to loose fingers print and whatever else by staying on mm radio.... Swear their use to be just the radio zips floating around at one point.... Only thing shying me away from updating stock is the few reports of loss of imei

It can! All you gotta do is uninstall Magisk and it'll ask you to restore the stock boot image. Once you've done that. All you need to do is downloading FlashFire [Root] and flash the OTA. :good:
