Like a FOOL, I allowed myself to press "update" when I got a new system update screen this morning, while I was half asleep. It rebooted and went to TWRP. I'm on @runningnak3d 's Nougat v30b update. I tried a wipe and reflash the 30b update, but each reboot goes only to TWRP. If anyone can help me sort this out, I'd appreciate it. Nothing like doing stuff wrong when you are waking up. Thanks johnm
Stuck: New secruity update soft brick
- Thread starter jmacie
- Start date
yeah @LexQ45! saved us sleepy idiots days of refreshing this thread to see if someone could bestow the magic! special thank you to @RainGater, right on!!
So this 85.3 mb system update that keeps nagging, we just need to get it into the form of an update.zip, and flash that. I'm gonna need some help with that. I'm glad people are still reading these v10 threads, or I'd be hung out to dry. Good Luck all! Thanks again!
If someone will grab the update.zip off their phone, I will be glad to make it safe to flash. It used to be in /cache but they may have moved its location. If it is not in /cache then:
* adb shell
su
find / -name update.zip
Post a link here and @ mention me

* adb shell
su
find / -name update.zip

This is odd. For some reason, after I did the encryption fix a few post back, it's now asking for a knock code. I have no idea why it's asking me for one. Anyone else come across this?

Thanks @runningnak3d , I'm sure your continued help is appreciated by all! Thank you!
I just took a quick look with root explorer, and DO NOT flash that. It will increment ARB, lock your boot loader, and wipe out TWRP.
I will be able to look and see if there is any part of it that is worth flashing once I am in front of my PC again, but I wanted to get the warning out.

Keeping an eye on this thread. Just received the update notification. Being that I use this on cricket I assumed I wouldn't get the update but it showed up today.
Guess I was the only one that experienced that knock code entry. Well, FYI, if you install that update, you may be asked to use a knock code that you never configured. Blah.
All in all, just reinstalled everything and started from scratch. Woohoo!
