You won't be able to apply it while rooted. The upgrade will fail.
You can disable the app Motorola Updates with Titanium Backup to stop the annoying update screen all the time.

Oh, didn't knew that, so I just have to download that "Titanium Backup" app and disable the updates?

Yes, I'm not sure if you can do it with the free version, but I believe you can.

You are in doo doo land if you are rooted, use twrp and never backed up your virgin ROM.
There is a post, not long ago, in the Nougat Update thread showing all the fundamental steps.
I have not rooted since early KK.

Here's the firmware
https://mirrors.lolinet.com/firmware/moto/addison/official/
I would say you're safe to flash a us firmware but only flash the 10 sparsechunks,recovery , boot img and OEM IMG if you flash and modem file or any other file you'll end up losing your IMEI.
But you're always taking a chance.

I think I'd tend to agree with this, but with no real experience with Moto to back it up.
WTF is ROW though?

[Q] I received the D851 10m OTA today. Some questions.

I have rooted, and I have xposed installed.
What is the upgrade procedure? Do I need to go so far as to remove root? Any advice appreciated.
Thanks!

Hi,
I have T-mobile LG G3 and I also received 154 MB update this morning. My device was rooted with Xposed installed. After the updated, i lost my ROOT access, everything else remains the same. Hope this helps.

Got this just now...but don't wanna lose root. The notification is annoying as hell. I would flash and update if it won't bork everything but I'd settle for just getting rid of the notification. Anybody know how to get rid of it??
Everything I do or have is custom.... Period.

When I long press, I see "App Info" and when I press it, it shows Google Play Services.
When it is disabled, does the update go away, or is it still on my G3 waiting to be installed?
Anyone know how this happened? I'm rooted, with custom everything, and I have OTA updates disabled!
I'm doing a TWERP backup anyway.
Anyone that has installed the update - did you get root back?

I'm working on it, my uh computer doesn't really want me to do it though lol
Its hiding the update zip from my computer on both my internal storage and sdcard over sub and my computer won't even seem to mountain my sdcard through the slot

Software Update

anyone else get the prompt to update the software? are you going to update?
Got it and did it 2 days ago
Same and same
probably too early to know, does anyone know if this update will affect root? coming from htc, i remember updates were frowned upon as they can make rooting more difficult.

below is the link I used. The battery drain is bad but manageable. I think it puts the wrong recovery on the phone, but it does root the phone. I was able to use titanium again :highfive:

locking bootloader? Android 8

Bad idea. Next update might fail from left over stuff from root or a mod...then you are done.

The solution (I think) would be to wipe data and flash the entire stock image for your phone, then re-lock the bootloader. This will make sure that any folders/files pertaining to being rooted are gone and shouldn't cause any problems when it comes to validating your OS. Just make sure you properly unrooted SU by using their uninstaller/unroot tool before wiping and reflashing.

Yes run flashall unless you are extremely brave. I used to lock and unlock my nexus 6 bootloader with custom firmwares but this phone is a completely different animal

Flash. all to both slots and be sure to include -w
Out of curiosity, why do you even wish to lock the bootloader? Especially with the numerous horror stories of users unable to resurrect a bootlooping device (rather simple to fix if unlocked) because their bootloader is locked.

Just an FYI, here's someone that locked their bl. Only 2 reasons I can see this as necessary is RMA, and Android pay. And Android pay works with magisk, so really only one reason.

Hello.. I have a question for you..
If this Gentleman had used the proceedure listed for the 7X, to use TWRP & DD Commands to backup all partitions.. could he have recovered his 7X... using his backed up image ? Assuming of course, he still had access to TWRP...

Look in the S8 plus forum for ROMs for the Partcyborg ROM. You should be able to flash that because it is a bootloader version 2 ROM.
