P2a42_S232_170320_ROW Nougat Update

[The Dutchman]

Just letting you guys know this Nougat update just appeared.
This will update your P2 to Android 7.0. So far I havent noticed any major changes except obviously
the changes Google made to Android itself. Very satisfied with the small toggles.

Head over to Settings > About Phone > System Update and happy updating!

head over to https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/P2-P2a...onsive-after-hiding-the-navi-bar/td-p/3583234

as per say by Motorola Admin

It's working as designed. This is what happens even if the nav bar isn't hidden, as soon as you overlap the nav bar and the screen, the screen won't respond. With the nav bar hidden -- even in apps that do it automatically -- I can still swipe left or right at the bottom of the screen, but up or down is likely to bring up the nav bar.

looks like lenovo wont acknowledge it as a bug..

and its sucks.. really annoying but deal with it or jz switch to other phone, which will be my option.

Well that's sad.. At least give us the option to completely disable the software keys instead of a swipe up.

You can use this guide by manos78

Warning - Own Risk!

requirements:
- systemless root
- unlocked bootloader
- TWRP

After downloading the update from Lenovo, the update is stored in the /data/data/com/lenovo.ota folder on your phone.

go to shell in adb and request su priviliges to copy the OTA update to your sdcard folder.
Download zip file and edit the updater-script file found in META-INF\com\google\android folder

Look for line 6

getprop("ro.product.device") == "[B]P[/B]2a42" || abort("E3004: This package is for \"P2a42\" devices; this is a \"" + getprop("ro.product.device") + "\".");

change P2a42 to p2a42
save and copy updater-script back into the META-INF\com\google\android folder of update.

rename zip file to OTA-TWRP or whatever you prefer and in adb push the update to your sdcard.

reboot to recovery and disable zip verification in options menu and flash OTA-TWRP. Some red errors show. after flashing wipe cache and reboot.

Your are now on android 7.0

Recovery is replaced by stock lenovo recovery. Root is also gone.

I am now fastbooting TWRP in order to backup boot and system and flash SuperSu.

update: Backup worked, TWRP is installed and device is rooted with newest SuperSu app. root verifier says i'm not rooted.
