I do not recommend do that, because you will probably have a soft brick, try to do a clean installation of the firmware instead.

Do It manually. I'll post the link in a few.
Here it is.

Just pay attention to not erase user data and it won't wipe anything

It's not possible to flash a OTA.zip on a modified system!!!
And it's not recommended to try to make it work!!! That's a block based OTA-update which will ruined your phone by installing it on a modified device!

...install the update on a non-modified system. You have to be on stock rom to do an OTA update. That's always the way on a rooted phone.

See post #3.
Download the whole rom and apply it with fastboot.

Install OTA on rooted S7 ¿Flashfire compatible?

Looks like Samsung released a new OTA that fix some bugs on screen response.
I found a Chainfire app called FlashFire, looks like the solution: Flash a OTA without loose root and data.. looks great but I didn´t find any info about S7 Edge compatibility
¿Any information about that?
Thanks!

OTA: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G935F
I´m doing backup from FlashFire right now, just in case.
Yes I use this great app. Installed xposed and updated software through it.

Just download the update, unzip and transfer the 'AP' file to your phone and flash that through 'Flash Firmware Package' on the app, job done

Please Help (N910C Running 5.1.1) Keeps restarting!

Hi team
Please Help!!
I have rooted my note 4 running 5.1.1 with super SU and SpaceX-Kernel-v0.2 by flashing TWRP then the kernel then the super SU
everything goes fine until now
but when i install an app or update one uninstall it the phone restarts after the installation or uninstallton immediately
tried wipe the cache but then it entered into a bootloop and i had to install the official FW again and reroot again
and then again the same
what can i do or is there a CFW to be stable and not giving this headache!?
Note:
I used an uninstaller to remove some apps that i don't need like evernote ,S-pin and ANT+.....ect
So what did i do wrong

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

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.

Will work with ComputerFreak's tweaked stock Marshmallow? That is, if it's a system patch, and not the whole ROM.

If you flash this, it will erase whatever rom you currently have installed. The TWRP package contains the whole rom.
Are you asking if the OTA is compatible with it? I doubt it. I had a stock-ish setup that only had updated emojis, and the update failed on it.

I would imagine so. I stay unrooted nowadays, but flashing the beta before whatever more recent version you want certainly couldn't hurt.

As I remember, the ROM has to be started, allowed to settle, then go back into TWRP and flash beta SU by itself.

Has anyone flash this new modem on the Droid Turbo xt1254 Resurrection Remix of bhb27 's?
Bumpn gums from my vzw DROID Turbo xt1254
works fine with BHb27 kernel and Crdroid Rom! Thanks
Flashed the kernel & modem to CFs tweaked stock via TWRP 3020. Got no wifi, network is fine. Any thoughts?

Getting back to stock EMUI super easily, almost no hassle

Hi everyone, today I will be telling you all how to get back to stock as long as your bootloader states "PHONE Unlocked" and "FRP Unlock"
You will need to install this, this is super duper important! https://forum.xda-developers.com/honor-9/development/tool-flash-official-firmware-recovery-t3769279
When installing, you will see the error: "E: Unknown command []]"
DO NOT BE AFRAID!
That is supposed to happen lol.
Installation procedure -
1. Flash this TWRP: https://drive.google.com/file/d/18uHjW73Th8iYKIs5m_QgwleMIOjsZd7S/view?usp=sharing
2. Wipe everything except SD card, then choose "Format data" to decrypt device
3. Reboot once again into TWRP (NOTE: If you are using USB OTG cable, make sure to plug it in AFTER TWRP is fully booted and ready to go, if you do it early, you get an error, which is weird lol. EDIT: Not sure if this error is still present in the new twrp, but it's never bad to play it safe.)
4. Flash HuRUpdater, make sure the file names are correct!
5. Reboot into stock recovery
6. Factory reset and wipe cache partition
7. Reboot
This method also enables themes to work again, so no need to worry about that!
Lots of thanks to @zxz0O0 to providing this awesome tool
And more thanks to the OpenKirin community for helping me out when flashing this! :good::good::good:
hello crayonicle, hehe im on the dot os for now, im interested going back to stock. will i get official updates backs from honor if i go back to stock using this method?
do i need to install the HuRUpdater only as the instruction shows? or follow as the link to the other thread shows?

Hi !
Does it work to restore on the BND-L21C432B121 ? Because it's marked for 7X but does it works on all firmware versions of this device ?
Thanks !
hi op,
does this work on L24 the usa version?
What update.zip file did you use? can you point to the link?
Also, does this update take the recovery to stock with no TWRP?

Yes, after flashing this via twrp, if you reboot once again to recovery, it is stock recovery, not twrp.

You need to flash the firmware to update the device if you update it's with root then the device will hard brick, so you need to flash the whole firmware so you can upgrade the device.

Can I remove root, and update it with an OTA, of does the unlocked bootloader cause a problem as well?
Do you know where I can get the firmware?

You need to unmodified all things which you have installed,such as root, module's,etc. To flash the ota if there any modifications, then there are changes of brick. So suggest you to flash the firmware. And if you want data then use LMSA and make a backup and restore after upgrading it.
I think I am just going to do a custom rom instead.
