Whats the best way to update from November build to December build if rooted with magisk and TWRP recovery installed? Do i have to relock the bootloader?
1. Flash the OTA zip in twrp, then flash the twrp installer zip and let the OS boot up. Then go back to twrp and flash your kernel and magisk.

2. Fastboot the factory image with the -w removed so as not to wipe data, and let the OS boot up. Then fastboot into twrp, then flash the twrp installer zip and kernel, let the OS boot up, then go back and flash magisk.

Just some FYI, I always disable screen lock and all substratum themes before I begin. And there ya go :good:

Hey all,

Any other method outside of sideloading to force the December update? I must seriously be on the last batch for all updates system & apps with either Verizon or Google...I have to manually update with APK files for most apps and I have had to sideload OTA's before. I mean the update was released by Google/Verizon on the 3rd and its now the 13th and no show?

I tried the framework google play clearing and no dice after the reboot...

Sigh...

There's probably some situation on the go. I've never received notification for october, november and - now - december OTA. Had to manually flash.

So, unfortunately, I've been getting away from phone modding because I have a young baby, and new job, and just don't have time to do it anymore. So in the last year I've stopped pretty much all together. My phone was on the September build, and I just tried to update this morning and it now won't boot because of the red triangle warning saying the device is corrupt and can't be trusted. Not the orange bootloader unlocked screen, but the red one that prevents it from booting. I can't flash any of the builds now, nothing will boot. What am I doing wrong? It says it's on the December bootloader.

I did what another user suggested and opted-out of google beta program....soon as i did that, within a few mins, had the update there.
Check your not a beta user and good luck.

You did a factory reset before trying to flash? It takes me literally 5-10 minutes from start to finish to flash the OTAs.

I've tried everything.... Even factory reset phone. I think I didn't get November patch till November 20 something.
