I having unbranded firmware, rooted, Android 2.3.3, build number 145 (locked bootloader)
Had try to update the phone after receiving the notification, downloaded 94.4mb through OTA. during the updating, its updated till the third dots (screen show four dots during updating), and its start the phone. then i received a notifcation saying "could not update the phone"
What is the best option for me now?
Your stock firmware was altered. Either you removed something or modded system files like themes. A fresh flash to .181 can save you.
Thanks for your swift reply, will retry my flashing and update again.
Problem solved by reflashing to 181, rooted, then update through OTA.
Now, in 2.3.4 build 4.0.1.A.0.283
you did not experience the 0% battery issue mate?

Hi all,
I updated my phone using the Motorola update manager, but my phone still prompted to download the latest update - I clicked yes, and WIFI only, but it just fails and comes up with an error message and a notification I can't remove. Does anyone know of a way to 'cancel' the update? Or am I stuck with this annoying notification and pop ups?
Thanks for any help
I have the same exact problem...I did the update via sbf... weird..
X3, same problem lol. On wifi it says update not available then says its currently downloading an update but does nothing
Well, then you know exactly what the problem is already.... if you SBF update, you aren't OTA updating, and the phone probably asked you to update OTA and you went ahead and flashed over it. I did that on my phone on Sunday, and had to flash back to 4.1.26 in order to OTA all the way up to 4.1.83, via 4.1.57 first. Follow the steps in order like you should and you won't have any issues - my phone works just fine on 4.1.83 after OTA updating it twice, and rooting it with GingerBreak!
Thanks for the responses guys.
If anyone finds a way of removing this problem without having to flash back and then upgrade again, please share the info!
Cheers.
I've installed gingerblur so the OTA route doesn't work (it gives me this ! mark and did nothing), so I have to use sbf method....I guess I could sbf it to 1.2.6 and then OTA it, but I suspect many of the system changes I made will be gone.
To start I rooted with Kingo but still stock otherwise. Then settings/about phone/software update and no luck. So I flashed the stock image and pit file so I'm back to no root and full stock. Go back to settings/about/software update and still says (update unavailable) not (no update available) or running latest version. It's an error saying my updater isn't working. I'm on MJ7 and wanting to update to MJE the latest version. Can anyone help? I've tried Samsung Kies and Verizon repair/update on my PC and still no profit. I'm want to update and run the cleanrom 1.5.....
Okay well update took through Verizon update/repair on PC finally. First off my signal went from -98 to -92.... so that doesn't suck. 2nd) upon re rooting with KingoApp when I boot/reboot I do not get the pesky custom logo and I'm on stock room with no wanam/exposed.
3rdly) I went to settings/about/software update and it now works and says my phone is running current. Now to flash cleanrom 1.5 and I'm done. Thanks for looking!
Hello,
I am trying to update my Droid RAZR M to KitKat and it is failing to install OTA. The phone is unrooted, stock and it downloads the software update just fine, but when the phone restarts and shows the Android icon with a progress bar, it fails and the phone reboots saying "Update failed to install." Any ideas on what could be causing this? I have tried downloading the update 3 different times in case it could have been corrupted, but still no luck. Thanks in advance!

It looks like multiple users are having the same issue... https://community.verizonwireless.com/thread/823965?start=0&tstart=0
Can anyone confirm the MD5 sum for the latest OTA update? Is it CCD6F2E0363C4155A77A12E50C6F0829

Has the phone ever been rooted? I understand that the saferoot method slightly alters the kernel, and that isn't reverted if you unroot.
If this is the case, SBF to the same or a newer firmware version and the update should work (but now you can also just SBF to KitKat itself).
That said: if you're locked, I'd recommend taking a long look at this before proceeding.
KitKat Fail

Thank you for this information. Yes, I am locked and the phone was rooted with Saferoot, but I had followed the unrooting procedure and was back on stock. I did not realize that the kernel was affected. Anyways, I downloaded the new KitKat firmware from http://sbf.droid-developers.com and flashed it successfully using RSD Lite. Everything worked out perfectly and I am very happy that I am now on the new firmware.
I have an i9505 device that is on stock rom and kernel. Never been flashed with other roms or has had any other kernels or recoveries ever installed. Has been rooted twice. I wish to temporarily disable the root to update via OTA. Is this possible? I do not wish to update via KIES or install via ODIN. I run the stock lollipop update.

No. Rooting your device means change the OFFICIAL state of your device to MODIFIED.
You should follow this steps:
1- (Being rooted now) Use the Triangle Away APP for change the device state of CUSTOM to OFFICIAL.
2- Backup your intenal data and factory reset your device:
- From your home screen press the apps icon in the lower right corner.
- Find and press the settings icon.
- In the upper end of the screen press the accounts tab.
- in the bottom of the next screen press the Backup and reset button.
- Press the factory data reset.
- Read the info on your cell phone screen and hit Reset device.
3- I think you will be able to receive OTA Updates then.
Some time ago , when i had KitKat on my I9505 , beeing rooted ,i've managed to change the phone status from MODIFIED ti OFFICIAL with Xposed app.After doing this it started to recive updates via OTA without doing anything else.The problem back then was that i've also had installde TW recovery so...the update downloaded itself but it couldn't install.
In your case i guess it is enough to get the phone status to show OFFICIAL...
Edit : what i forgot to say is that Xposed doesn-t work on official 5.0.1 so ..you'll have to find another method for getting OFFICIAL status.
Hi all,
I was running my stock 5.1.1 (LPD23.118-6.1) rom rooted for a long time and wasn't able to receive OTA updates due to the obvious reason about rooting and etc. My recovery wasn't changed. So, I saw the thread about that "flashable zips" about 6.0 roms and decided to test it. Due to some crashes and forced closes, I decided to back to my previous backup of rooted 5.1.1 stock rom. But now I want to have my phone stock as hell, and the first thing that I do was flash the most updated firmware that I found in here that was available to download. I flashed the whole LPD23.118-6.3 stock rom, a little bit newer than my old stock rooted rom. Everything working, everything fine, except...
In bootloader it says "Software status: modified", and when I try to manually check about updates, it says that my software is up to date, which I know isn't true, because OTA update of Android 6.0 is already available (i have a friend who got an X Play and he already received the ota).
How can I solve this?

The force closes you got are completely normal and if you read the thread you will have found out you just need to reboot your phone until they go away.
The status modified just means your bootloader was unlocked and doesn't matter.
You have a few options, keep trying for OTA, flash another version and keep trying for OTA, sideload one of the available OTA zip files, or try a TWRP backup.

Thanks for your reply. Actually i'm downloading the recently posted 6.0 firmware for the Brazilian/Latin American rom in firmware's thread. Unfortunately the download is very slow, but I guess I can surely update without losing anything. The only strange thing is that I didn't received any OTAs....

It's not necessary that if your friend has received the OTA then even you will receive it within few days. The OTA is rolled batch wise and no one knows which phone is in which batch except Moto of course. [emoji4]
