I see. Thanks for the clarification.

Sorry if this is a stupid question, but if the bootloader is unlocked, isn't it already insecure? Would there be a difference being on the April vs May bootloader, security-wise, if the bootloader is already unlocked.

Sorry, I should have clarified that you are only able to apply TWRP and root to images and bootloaders that were released before the May updates. You are absolutely right in that that I should not be installing TWRP or Root on the May bootloader because it'll result in bootloops.

Applying the OTA or flashing a full factory image does "break" root and TWRP in the sense that you have to reflash TWRP and apply root again. Apparently the May factory image/OTA is applying a new bootloader which is not allowing the re-application of TWRP and root after flashing. Chainfire...

Thanks for the info. Couple more questions: 1. Does sideloading just the OTA, flip the active slot? 2. Is there a way to check if the April OTA updated the bootloader as well. I'm guessing the May OTA does update the bootloader since applying it has broken TWRP and root for people.

I have a Verizon Pixel XL with unlocked bootloader, TWRP, and root on NHG47K. I have been updating it via sideloading the OTAs since I got the phone. I've seen on the forums that a lot of people flash the full factory image. I wanted to know what the difference was between sideloading the OTA...

I have a Verizon bootloader unlocked, rooted Pixel XL, with TWRP recovery. I'm on the latest February security patch. I was looking to install a custom kernel, namely Elemental X. I had a couple of questions: 1. If I sideload a new OTA (not the full factory image, just the OTA zip), does it...

I'm sorry for being AWOL for a while, was traveling and busy. I did uninstall Particle Storm and that didn't help. I will try and re-installing a fresh Sense ROM and see if that fixes it. I wanted to try CM6, since I heard many good things about it, so I installed that, and I like it a lot...

I recently successfully rooted my HTC Incredible and am running the Sense ROM. I received a update notification for a live wallpaper, Particle Storm, and performed the update. Then I applied the live wallpaper. I wanted to reset it back to the HTC static wallpaper. When I went into...
