My phone asks me if I want to install, I hit yes, it powers off and goes to the screen with the droid and the status bar. Status bar fills up then it changes to the droid with the ! in the triangle and just stays there. If I pull the battery it asks me if I want to install again when the phone boots up.
Rooted 2.2 w/ unrevoked forever.
my update went to that page with the !....had 2 arrows kinda making a circle around it. Just wait it out...mine sat there a few but did its thing...
Mine doesn't have the arrows. It has been sitting there for 15+ minutes on two different occasions now.
i get "assert failed" then boots to previous rom
hmmm... Does it have any red on that page? I have seen that page with red on it...battery pull usually fixes it. Mine was same page but no red at all just the arrows. Maybe you should be on a stock 2.2 ROM?

Same configuration here with the same results.
It's just the little green guy and the !. No red. Battery pulled 3 times now, won't work. I'm on stock 2.2.. only rooted. I rooted it and haven't changed anything. Not even a custom kernel.
Hmm, something must be up with the OTA update. Just download the package from one of the other threads, save it to SD card and update from zip from recovery.I did that and it worked in less than 10 minutes

Also I have the actually files that I got when I did the OTA if you want them. I am actually unrooted on one of my phones...for comparison stuff. So the files I recieved on the unrooted OTA are here:
These are the 2 files I recieved when I updated:
1: http://www.mediafire.com/?i2ypi9121snmpyo
2: http://www.mediafire.com/?cljyvv281l1b000
I have not tested to see if they break root but this is the official updates...2 seperate files/apk's.
Same problem here with unrevoked so I did it manually and it worked like a charm.
I can't post links but if you go to androidcentral it has the instruction there on the front page.

had that exact same problem. i think the OTA doesn't bode well with being rooted, at least thats what it seems. i was unrevoked and tried it (then got your problem with the !). so i tried unrooting it and the update worked like a charm
BTW....You will need run unrevoked again if you applied the update manually!
yep i went all stock unrooted and it took it right away. it probably didnt like the fact i was on metropcs too lol
why are you guys doing ota? there is already a rooted version of this update in development that you can flash from recovery.
i just want pri,radio,etc and rom to be stock without any mods besides what i do.

Guide for this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=8285266#post8285266
I don't know why people are having soooo much trouble with this so im just going to post this..
this is what I did to get the 1.8.3 update.
1) Go download the Motorola Software Updater from here.
2) Download the updater and then install it. Make sure that you have your Motorola Driver updated.
3) Run the updater, plug in your phone (Debugging has to be on). Wait till the updater recognizes your Atrix.
4) The updater will scan your device and see what firmware you have installed. Once it identifies that you have your Atrix connected and you are updated to 1.5.7 it will start to scan for updates (This can take a while, so let it do its thing).
5) Once it finds an update, it will wait till you click next.
6) After that it will download and install the update to your phone, once it is completed your phone will reboot. (Again, the updating/installing can take a while)
THATS IT!
Rooting time w/ GingerBreak.
Go here to view the full guide on how to do it. FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS!!!!
If I can do it, anyone can.

Hi there
About how long does it take to recognize the phone??
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
It would be nice if you could update like this but they have pulled it off there site since its not goin OTA yet. So now were having to revert back to flashing 1.8.3 over 1.5.7 va RSD. then do the whole root and side load after that

When I did it. Sideload was still there. I just used GingerBreak to re-root. It was really fast and easy to do.

A while. I guess it depends. I'm not sure if Motorola pulled the update from their servers like AT&T did.
Well I guess I need to clarify, how long does it take for the software update tool recognize the phone?
Sent from my MB860 using XDA App
To my understanding it took alot of peoples phones a while. From what i heard you can Flash 1.5.7 then flash 1.8.3 on top of that and root and enable side loading before the phone tools would start the update

There should be a %. But it doesn't say how long and I didn't keep track. I just started it and left. Came back and it said it found an update then i just installed it.
Proof. Just want to show you that I actually have it working.
-Sideload (the only way I could get Screen Grabber on my phone)
-Rooted (required for Screen Grabber to work)
-1.8.3 (shown in picture)
I Flash a 1.8.3 SBF file.
But can't display a MP4 file which can play on Ver 1.5.7.
Can you play it with Gallery (with 1.8.3 default video player.)??
People have told you several times now that this method no longer works, I tried it exactly as you said several times over the past few days and just for good measure I tried again right before I posted this.
I understand that it worked for you a couple days ago but things changed and I assure you it does NOT work anymore.
Looks like the OTA availability is widening. I've been manually checking for updates daily for the last week or so. This morning it found the update and installed without issue. Northern VA area.
i just used the 1.8.3 sbf with RSD lite 5.31
No update on moto for me and no OTA
finally got it working, thanks!
I got the update notice as soon as I registered the product (which I hadn't done until today after owning since April 20th). Make sure that you've registered your phone on motorola.com
I just got the update right now over WIFI > System Update. Looks like its downloading now!!!
dont forget to backup your internal sd card since gingerbreak will format it.
Mine just popped

Ya, that was my experience too. I did everything to the letter, and no update. What I think happened is moto/att is pushing out the update in batches, and you (chubby) happened to be one of the lucky first in the roll out, and that's why it worked for you.
I could be wrong, but that would definitely explain why everyone but you was having so much trubbs.
BTW, I just checked again a few minutes ago and it finally found the update.
I kept getting a pop up message on my phone saying a new software update is available for my device. It appears to be an Android update MB860 v4.5.141. So I downloaded the update with no problems but the update won't install.
When I clicked Install the phone shut down as it's supposed too. But the update fails and I keep getting a black screen with Android & an exclamation point inside a Triangle. I have to pull the battery and restart but once the phone boots up it shuts down again to attempt to Install the update and again I get the black screen with the Android and exclamation point. The phone is unusable at this point. Any ideas?
My Atrix is NOT rooted.
I just tried the manual update and it won't work because the phone can't start up long enough, it shuts down before I can do anything. How can perform a factory reset if the phone shuts off before I can get into the menu to select factory reset? Will a factory reset even fix this problem?

Thank you for the help. The problem is I'm new to Android so I don't really understand what that post is telling me and I'm a new member here so the forum won't let me post a question there. I don't understand how to boot into CWM or how to format the /cache partition once I get there. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Have you flashed a custom recovery? If you have, boot into it by holding volume down after turning the device on. Then hit volume down until you have selected recovery. Then hit volume up to boot into recovery. From there, wipe the cache partition and reboot.
If you haven't flashed custom recovery... I dunno what to tell you. It's strange that the OTA update isn't working on a non-rooted, non-unlocked phone.
I don't even know what flashed recovery is. Is that what the post above is about where it explains to boot into CWM and format the /cache partition? Sorry for the newb questions but I'm really lost here and kind desperate because now I'm without a phone.

Make sure phone is off.
Press and hold the volume down button, then press the power button.
When text appears on the screen, release the down volume button. Then press the down volume button again and watch the text change... keep going until text reads "Android Recovery". Press up volume button. IF YOU go to far (too many down presses) keep pressing down and it will cycle back...don't press the up volume expecting to go back.
You are now in recovery...if you have a screen with a big triangle and an exclamation point, press both volume buttons at the same time. A menu will appear. Use volume buttons to move to the option you want and the power button to select it. Most likely, you'll want "factory reset". do that.
If you end up with any other screen (not the triangle) then you have a custom recovery and you knew everything I just told you...
Yeah it looks like a factory reset is my only option at this point, I was hoping to avoid that. Thanks for all the help and tips.
I got it working!! I spent about an hour searching google with different search phrases and I found a post where someone had a similar problem about a year ago with a different phone. This is what I did:
-I pulled the battery then booted up the phone by pressing the power button & the volume down button at the same time until "Fastboot" showed at the top of the screen.
-Then I scrolled through & selected "Android Recovery"
-I then selected "Wipe Cache Partition"
-Then I selected "Yes-Wipe Cache"
The phone then restarted and I got a message that the update failed but the phone stayed up and running and has been working fine since. I've since restarted it several times.
So the update did not install but I'm not going to attempt the update again at this point because I'm sure I'll just have the same problem.
I know I said the phone was not rooted but I failed to mention that I did buy the phone used so I don't know what the previous owner did to it. But I did a Factory Reset on the phone when I bought it so wouldn't that remove any previous rooting on the phone if there was any?

No. Factory reset does not clear out rooting, unlocking, or any modifications to the bootloader or recovery.
for root: There's a root checker app in marketplace to test root access. If you do have root access you need to unroot before applying the update.
for unlocked: the only way I know to tell is when you power on the phone the word "unlocked" will appear at the top of the screen.
bootloader and recovery: if you have a locked bootloader than you should have stock bootloader and recovery = ok to apply OTA update. If you're unlocked, do NOT apply the OTA update. A few people have succeeded somehow, many do not.
Thanks Gnac. I just noticed when I turn the phone on it does say "unlocked" at the top left of the screen, I never noticed that before. I know for sure the previous owner was using it on AT&T so I don't know why he would have unlocked it. I think I'll just skip the update to avoid any further problems.
I know it's been a couple of months since my last post but I never got the update to work even with the manual update from Motorola's site. I followed the exact directions more than once but I just can't get it to work. At this point I don't really care about the update but the nagging pop up every hour on my phone reminding me to update is getting annoying. Is there an easy way to stop the nagging update pop up that give the option to download now or download later? I always choose later but it nags me probably 20 times a day.

titanium backup's freeze function (you need to buy the paid version) can fix this. Just freeze Updater to stop the pop up.
Thanks for the suggestion but that won't really work for me since I have no experience in rooting and I'm way too worried about bricking it to even try that.
You say you bought your phone used, and haven't rooted or modified it. Are you on AT&T? If so, and were it my phone, I'd be taking it to an AT&T store and having them check it out.
We are great at looking for alternate routes to fix our own stuff and using "official routes" as a last resort (as it requires putting it all back to stock first), but to me, this is a clear case of their own update screwing up for some arbitrary reason -- totally not your fault.
I don't think that will work because the bootloader is unlocked so I have to assume the previous owner rooted the phone. When I start up the phone it says "unlocked" in the top left corner during start up.
Wait for the update but I know that come in 2013 when android world will be jelly bean

Ok I'm sorry to be a pest but I can't take this darn nagging pop up 20+ times a day. Obviously I don't have a clue about rooting but a guy a work with said he could probably unroot this phone for me so I can install the update. My question is if I take the SIM card out & sign into blur will he be able to do whatever needs to be done without a SIM card in the phone? That way I can put my SIM card in an older phone I have so I won't be without a phone if it takes him a few days.

Actually you could probably do this yourself.. search for "Petes Motorola root" then download and follow instructions in how to "unroot"..
Sent from my MB860 using XDA
Thank you for that suggestion. Since I don't have any experience in rooting I'm a little nervous but it seems pretty straight forward. How do I verify steps 1 & 2?
1. Make sure the Motorola drivers are still installed.
2. Make sure USB Debugging is still selected.
3. Connect your Bionic to your computer.
4. Run the Pete's Motorola Root Tools.exe.
5. Select UnRoot My Phone at the bottom.
6. Your phone will reboot 3-4 times as the program goes through all 4 steps in the process.
I had to manually check, but it's here on my phone .

Yep. Here in the Seattle area, the Verizon Android 10 update is here for the Moto Z4. Update went without a hitch...phone runs well and smoothly.
Anyone know how to get rid of this? It just started after the updated lol.
I think they put that there to remind us that once Android 11 is released, we'll be stuck on Android 10.

It's there because developer tools are enabled, if you turn them off that message disappears.
I had the update last week, but was waiting for it to come up on Software update center since I have retail version, but now update is gone and it hasn't been released on the update center.
Could someone pull the update and post it here for the rest of us to manually update??
There is a new one today, it said critical, and applied itself, no option to delay it, it's called Update 5+.
I agree we really need the system image for this update. My phone will not update using the update system option, it only tells me it's already up to date. I tried using the tool from Verizon, same thing, up to date. I called verizon, after the second tech they want to send a new phone. But I don't really want a new phone. Also they had me do a factory reset just to be sure. I had a lot of apps disabled, and had other modifications through adb. Turns out those weren't the issue.
Pretty Please with Sugar on Top.
I'm sure all it would take is for someone to use the Verizon update tool or whatever it's called and select reinstall but keep my days then it'll download and extract. You just have to grab it once it starts extracting the zip and copy it somewhere so that when it finishs extracting it doesn't get removed. The app deletes the system image/zip when it finishes extracting. You could also unplug your phone when it starts extracting and it would touch your device.
Edit...... Then upload it anywhere.
This is an excellent idea, however it'll only work for people already on 10. Myself and others cannot update neither OTA or using the update tool. Using this aforementioned method of extraction would be absolutely fabulous, and I myself would buy some beers for anyone that would pull the update whatever way they can and upload???
Just manually checked and the update was there. I didn't think of it but there used to be an app that a Dev put out for Moto phones that would copy the update. Probably to old to work anymore though.
I did the same thing a couple days ago.
It's finally in the repository

%#*%^$^%$#$(&!! I've been scouring the web all evening trying to figure out why my bluetooth stopped functioning recently...all worked fine until this new update that came across on my phone yesterday. I haven't been able to find any info on this, I was starting to think I was the only one having issues after that update. Is there a fix for this?
Sorry for the post first.... I am sure the answer is here somewhere and I am going to start reading up.
But if anyone happens to know the quick and easy answer.
My V20 was in a drawer after doing a nice job for a few years. But I pulled it out as a backup phone and got it a cheap MVNO sim on ATT towers.
Didn't think much of it - but apparently I haven't had it on ATT towers for some time and it found a OTA update. It has downloaded it I guess and says it will install it in 10 seconds... no options to quit or delay or nothing.
I am rooted, unlocked and flashed - honestly don't remember exactly where... but I'd guess in the AO Rom at 20H and TWRP.
BTW - Don't need to really update to anything as the use case is backup really. I need WiFi calling so flashing Lineage is out too.
Open to thoughts and ideas.
Thanks in advance.
AT&T has update towers specifically to do updates. They're are fast. Get within range and bam.
Disable the OTA update app or ask AT&T tech support to disable OTA updates on their end... they can.
Yep - thanks but they got me already. It won't complete the update because when they execute the script TWRP loads instead - which is nice. But if I reboot - it stays live for 20 seconds and says rebooting to complete update, to twrp boot, to shutdown to reboot - stays live for 20 seconds and says rebooting....
Not exactly a handy backup phone...
Any ideas how to get out of the boot loop.
Looking at all my old notes now - just gonna flash it again I think but can't remember where/what...
Anyway - thanks and my studying continues.
Oh and - I had no idea folks were pushing uphill on getting Android 12 on the V20. That would be amazing. Great phone to get this on.

YES - exactly what I am trying to find out how to do?
I'm in TWRP now looking for the file that I presume it downloaded that it is trying to install. Presuming the OS looks for a file and when it is there it does the prompt - "Shutting down in 10 seconds to install update".
Found some notes and TWRP backups - so restored my backup of AlphaOmega.
Then - enabled developer options and disabled automatic updates from there
I think that is all I have to do.

On Samsung's that won't do anything except not auto update when the phone restarts. OTA updates is still active and can hijack control of the phone. It has every permission under the sun, might as well be malware.
If the app is still running it's likely going to screw you up...
Yah - I wasn't satisfied either...
I installed Magisk and installed some root app uninstaller. Not exactly sure what I am looking for - but the only apk with OTA in it was something FOTA - so sounded Forced.... I uninstalled.
Heck - haven't customized much yet - figure it is time to try and break it...
We will see what happens.

I did completely blow up the phone and biffed it while updating TWRP.
Posted here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/bad-day-kernel-panic-trying-to-update-twrp.4534615/
But I have it all back up and running. I didn't delete anything yet but it runs and isn't boot looped in the update cycle. I did disable updates inside developer options. But now I don't have any cell service where I am currently staying so I am probably going to put this aside for a while. Thanks all for the help.
