Hi guys,
i would like to update to the latest version.
My current one is COL-L29 8.1.0.148(C432).
Bootloader is unlocked, phone is rooted also xposed is installed and i use twrp as custom recovery.
Since there are several versions in Update Finder i'm a bit confused.
Which zip do i have to flash to keep al my data?
Thanks!
When you unlock bootloader, update only FullOta. OTA is not work)
So i'll lose all my data every time i flash an update?
Will it work after locking the bootloader again?

You won't lose your data just install the fullota with Hurupdater and you'll be okay

Hey guys,
I am trying to prepare my Nexus 9 to receive root (when that happens) and I was wondering if unlocking the bootloader will suffice for the time being? That means it will wipe it once, and I can start using my Nexus 9 without worrying of wiping it in the future.
Then it means as soon as TWRP comes out with a version that supports Nexus 9 I just need to flash that (no need to wipe device) and then flash SuperSU (no wiping either)
Am I missing something here?
You're right but...
Hey ombadboy
I think this will work. Don't forget to enable the oem unlock in the developer settings before. Otherwise your try to unlock will fail. Maybe you shouldn't flash the first versions of twrp, because this will be the first one for Lollipop und encrypted storage. Just boot the image once and flash superSU. So you will still get OTA updates.
After unlocking you should be able to root without losing your data twice.
After a few time and if there are no more OTAs in the near future you can flash a stable TWRP image.

See the guide here. http://www.theandroidsoul.com/unlock-bootloader-nexus-9/
Thanks for the replied guys. Yes, that's exactly what I did; now I have an unlocked bootloader.
So if I understood this well, can I get root without flashing a custom recovery? If so, what's the purpose of flashing one?

The purpose of having a custom recovery is to flash custom roms.
Here's some info for root

Recovery allows you to flash anything to device without doing manually with root explorer, adb or fastboot. Can do most anything you can do with recovery with these 3 tools.
Hi All
I have a nexus 9 with an unlocked bootloader, root (from CF auto-root), and TWRP installed, currently on 5.0.1 LRX22C. I have read this means that I will not be able to complete an OTA due to lack of stock recovery and changes within the system files that the OTA will check.
So my question is how much of stock do I have to return to be able to do the OTA to 5.0.2 and 5.1 later today. I am hoping that I won't have to do a factory reset and wipe all the files and apps, but if so nevermind.
Do I have to relock the bootloader?
Do I have to flash back to stock completely or can I just flash a stock recovery?
If I wait will a flashable zip be created by someone, that would allow me to keep unlocked and rooted?
If this has been asked before, I am sorry, I have searched but couldn't find any clear answers that were related to lollypop.
I am used to samsung phones and the nexus ADB sideloading ect. is taking me a while to get used to, so any link to a guide would be very appreciated.
Thanks for any help,
OTA appears to checksum the entire partitions, so even remount RW could have an effect (with no intentional accesses, depending how the filesystem works). However, this doesn't make a lot of sense since any update is going to struggle to replicate the same raw filesystem data reliable - maybe this is why we are seeing 5.0.2 OTAs fail on 'stock' devices.

Do not relock your bootloader. It is not necessary.
Since you are rooted with a custom recovery, if you want to take the OTA, you will have to fastboot flash the stock 5.0.1 system.img, recovery.img, boot.img, and vendor.img.
IMHO, it's just as easy to fastboot flash the 5.0.2 factory images and forget about the OTA.

Okay well I think I will wait until the 5.1 factory image is released, backup my phone, then fastboot flash it.
I guess I will then have to reroot and add TWRP again?

Do it in the other order. Fastboot flash TWRP, then flash SuperSU from inside TWRP. Very easy.
Today I've flashed the recovery with TWRP to install SuperSU.
Is there any possibility of installing the stock recovery to be able to install Android updates normally again without losing all data and SuperSU?
You sir, are not alone with this question. Been eagerly looking for an answer for the same question..

I can't find anything for the G5, only for other phones.
The only option I currently know of is to flash the whole KDZ and then install TWRP and SuperSU again. Is there another way?
As long as the system is modified in any way, the only way to install ota updated is through LGUP because before applying the update there is a system integrity check ran and if that fails you will most likely get into bootlops or worst
Here is what I did to get a 10D rooted system
Thank you @gwolfu.
I have a H850 on V10d. The bootloader is unlocked, TWRP 3.0.2-0 is flashed to the recovery partition and SuperSU 2.78 is installed.
When I try an OTA update, the phone reboots to TWRP. Rebooting from there leaves me with the old firmware.
What is the preferred way to update? Can I use LG Bridge? Or do I have to flash a stock recovery?

Update with LGUp o by flashing firmware zip (if avaible) trough TWRP.
Never do OTA when you are rooted or have a TWRP, there are high possibility to brick in these cases.
so if i have an unlocked bootloader, custom recovery, and i'm rooted, but have a bunch of apps installed and a bunch of configurations, unroot, flash stock and then install the OTA, i'm okay?

If you're going to flash stock, you may not need to worry about an OTA. Just find the latest KDZ file for your G5 H850 here: https://lg-firmwares.com/lg-h850-firmwares/ and then flash it with LGUP. Your bootloader will still be unlocked, and you'll have to use fastboot to flash TWRP after which you can root your new stock firmware by flashing SU. Flashing stock is just that; you'll lose any installed apps and configurations you've set in 10d.

Maybe you can prevent some losses if you use the LG Backup tool at first!
Make a Backup and you can restore some of your apps and their data.
BUT ALL ICON / SOUND & SYSTEM SETTINGS ARE LOST!
Hi friends.
I have a doubt about what is needed for a correct OTA installation in official ROM.
For example, I was in 20s, fresh install, no root, and with twrp then an update appeared for OTA, the 23s, I did it from the update icon, it was about 1.8GB, even with the TWRP, it was installed normally, the TWRP was replaced by stock recovery. I flashed the TWRP again, and flash SuperSU too.
When I was in 23s, an update prompt appeared, the 26s, I did it by the update icon, it was about 500MB, after it downloaded and went for install it booted on TWRP but nothing happened, so I flashed stock recovery, and did the procedure again, it said installation failed.
So I don't know what I am missing? Do I need a special recovery, do I have to be unroot?
Thanks for your help.

I mean flash just recovery from this toolbox after 26s. It's ALL-IN-ONE TOOLBOX.
You don't need special recovery. You need stock recovery for official OTA update which is 26s. If you try to update official ota with twrp nothing will happen.
by the way how did you get OTA even after root?

When I was in 20s CN I was without root, just fresh install, so I did OTA to 23s, then I rooted. Now I can't do the OTA by the update app, I think it is because of the root.
OTA because of root? Strange!? it was booting in twrp?while flashing 26s

Sorry I missed a negation of "can"
Well. I unrooted, and the same problem EUI Update Failed Cause: Installation Failed.
I did many tests, but was not succesfull.
Anyway, I restored my 20s CN version, and then the OTA prompt for 26 appeared, when I was in 23s the OTA for 26s was about 500MB, now from 20s to 26s it was around 1.8Gb, and worked. Now i have the 26s CN.

You can only update full ota updates via TWRP delta ota can't be flashed via twrp that's why 500 MB 26S failed via twrp ( 1.8GB is full update, if you​ skip any delta ota next time you'll receive full ota update), so if you want to update delta ota you have to install stock recovery and most times you need a factory reset or complete wipe.
The strange is that I was on stock recovery pm 23s, evento like that the OTA oficina 500MB didnt work.
Hi,
same problem here.
TWRP was recovery. My solution:
First I replaced TWRP with stock recovery ("hxxp://xxx.leeco.re/topic/1942-updatedofficial-stock-recovery-lemax2_x820_x822-enus" (I'm not allowed to use links as new user...)) but TWRP was still there as "app". So I flashed s23 (with file manager, named as "update") again. Here it works.
Then I flashed the update.
