Hello all
Have searched this forum, but im not really sure what to do.
I've used titanium backup to perm remove a few stock apps, the exchange stock app and amazon app
Now i can't recive any updates OTA, and i get this message..:
assert failed: apply_patch_check("/system/app/Stock.apk"....
E:Error in /sdcard/download/OTA_Ace_HTC_WWE_172_405_3_r2_1_32_405_6_release_1632939lowfu0y78jktpp2.zip
(status 7)
using 2.2 android version number 1.32.405.6
please help

You can't accept OTA updates when you are rooted.
I see, but only used temp root with visionary
is that going to affect something?
Or what are my options to get a hold of updates in the future, a costum rom instead? I do kinda like the stock rom, just without stock apps
anyone?
Once again, if you are rooted, it doesnt matter how, you CANNOT accept ota update.
If you deleted something you shouldnt have, then restore the backup to that, or do a factory reset and re-root.
Ok i just figures since it was TEMProot that it didn't matter. Tnx for the reply, tried the factory default option (no luck), is there any place where I can get the Stock firmware to re-flash the phone?
Or would anyone in here recommend another rom ? Tons of custom roms, as I can tell.
Thread moved in Desire HD General.
go here and youll find your rom that you need,
you need the ones that are "RUU_Ace_HTC_WWE" in the file name, as these are what we call World Wide Editions
Thank you very much.
Just to make sure I do not **** something up, what are the steps i should follow, to install the rom?
This is what I did: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=888109
Got the same problem -- some time ago I removed some "useless" apps from my /system/app folder, and when 1.72 update was released I wasn't able to install it in any way (I was trying to follow this guide). I restored the missing apps, and then everything went fine using the guide mentioned above!
Hope this helps.

Sorry but that ain't correct... You *can* update your phone if you're rooted, the main problem is that root will be gone after update. The best solution is to *always* reject OTA updates provided by HTC and wait until devs here have found a safe way to update your device without losing root privileges.
Thank you
Thank you all, it gave perfectly sense since I'm quite happy with the stock firmware, i'll stick with this. The root is not so necessary for me at least for now
I'm glad it was corrected that visionary did not remove the ability for OTA, that was also what I've read before used it.
I'm intrigued in rooting my Nexus 7, but I also love google's stock android, no extra bloatware and apps makes me a happy camper, and thats why I waited for a Nexus tablet in the first place. Here's my question:
Is it possible to root the Nexus 7, get superuser permissions, change DPI settings, etc.... while retaining stock android (no flashing or different roms) so that whenever an OTA gets released, the device still lets you install the updated without giving any problems?

Yeah, you can root and get su permissions without changing stock. You need to use this to get OTA and still keep root: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.projectvoodoo.otarootkeeper&hl=en
I'm not sure if the DPI would revert back to the original settings when updated, but it's something to try.
Also, if you remove any of the apk's under the system folders, you will not be able to update. The update checks to see if they are all there before it starts installing.
great..... do you think the device would still be rooted after an official OTA?
Don't see why not. You would need to run OTA root keeper again, to re enable root. If you read the description in play, it tells you that it temporarily disables root so that it hides it from the OTA update
Anyone actually try this yet? I had OTA Rootkeeper on my razr and it didn't work sometimes.

I haven't tried it yet. I let mine update before I rooted it.
Have head mixed reports on here, most say it works and some say it doesn't. You just have to take the chance.
If it does not save, its very easy to root again using a toolkit so it's not a big problem......
I am, unfortunately, running on MF3 firmware still and have my phone rooted and "customized" (ie I have Titanium backup blocking a few files). I'd like to be able to take the OTA update so I can update my firmware which is still pretty outdated (Android 4.2.2).
What do I need to do in order to be able to take the OTA update and what is the best way to proceed? Will the most recent FW version allow me to obtain root permissions or do I need to do something "fancy" like use survival mode in SuperUserSU?
Let me know the best way to proceed when you get the chance. Thanks!

If you have modified or deleted any system files the ota will not work. The latest version, nl1, is rootable with towelroot. If the ota doesn't work then I'd flash the nb1 tar file in Odin, see the general forum, and then ota from there.

I'm sure I have at least frozen some of those files using titanium backup . . . What's the best way to handle it? Do a backup of my TB settings, unfreeze everything, then try to get the OTA update? I haven't even been prompted for an OTA in months and I'm assuming it's because I currently have root and have frozen some of those files . . . Do I need to remove root in order to get the OTA prompt or is it likely a result of me freezing files?
Thanks for your help!

I'm not sure why you haven't gotten the prompt but it's not because of root. Try unfreezing the apps. Make a backup first

If you try to OTA with root, it will get to about 30% and then fail because the update checks for root if it's anything like the at&t update. I suggest unrooting and going back to 100% stock before trying any OTA updates.
I have posted a guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3-att/general/how-to-restore-device-status-to-t2832880
I know it's for the GS3, but should also work on the GS4.
You guys are awesome. Sounds like this is plenty of information to get started. Thanks for your help!
My wife has started being prompted to this system update the last week for 24.81.3.en.ca. I'm wondering if she can hit install no problem or if i'll need to unroot (or do more?) before i can install.
I've looked and actually can't find much info on this specific update so not sure why that is but if someone could confirm that would be helpful as i dont want to brick her phone as she already doesn't like me 'fiddling with it' so i'll be a dead man but the constant prompts are also starting to annoy her.
Thanks!
I did this update today. Thought it was nougat. Biggest problem for me, was I seem to have lost 60gb of downloaded music on my 128gb sd card. Google play music started downloading EVERYTHING again. Also, all the programs that were on my SD card, disappeared from my home screens. The apps were still there in the app drawer, just had to put the shortcuts back. Not really sure what the update addressed.

October security patch
Sent from my XT1562 using XDA-Developers mobile app
I installed it but, StageFright Detector still tells me that my phone is vulnerable even with this security update. Google needs to make more efforts. Or maybe, Motorola should've given us the December 2016 update instead of a two month old update.
I saw a timeline earlier regarding a Nougat update in Dec for X Play? Any word?
ok so do i just unroot and install or something else? Or is there anyway to hide the update prompts?

You habe to be totally stock while updating from OTA.

Please share ota file on share drive like, googledrive/dropbox/etc.
Yeah if someone can share it, that'd be great. I can't go back to my stock ROM anymore cause I did the update, then tried CM14.1 and now, trying to go back I get (bootloader) preflash validation failed...

So I'm using the stock Rom but the bootloader is unlocked and rooted so I have to unroot only and install the update then re-root?

In your bootloader the status should say "unmodified/original(something like that)" you need stock recovery.
Easiest way is to download the new firmware and flash it.

Do NOT do this update. Nothing but problems since. Now will not recognize my sd card at all. Will not format it, gives tons of errors. Called Motorola support, they are aware of problems. Terrible idea.
Maybe that's why I'm completely unable to relock the bootloader with the official ROM?

Thanks, I was just doing a TWRP backup on my device to start the process of installing this update. I'll subscribe and wait for others opinion before installing.

I've never been able to relock a Moto device. I thought that was a Nexus only feature, but I could be wrong.

You can relock them but it will always remain as having been unlocked (status code 2). I've done it several times after tinkering with CM but after yesterday's update I can't do it anymore. I get a preflash verification error.

To save you looking around, here's a reminder how to stop updates: https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/MOTO-G...llipop-update-notification/m-p/3204499#M19669
If you really want to get rid of the Lollipop update notification go to "Setting" then scroll down to "Apps" and select it. It will take you to another screen. Since it's asking you to update you have downloaded the update that enables you to upgrade. Under the "Download" tab scroll down until you find "Motorola Update Services" and select it. You'll have three options at the top, "Force stop, Uninstall Updates and Disable." Select "Disable." It will then prompt you "Delete data and disable app?" Select "OK." It will then ask "Do you want to replace this app with the factory version?" Select "OK." You will no longer be asked to upgrade. If you ever want to upgrade just enable it under the the app again under the "Disabled" tab in the App menu, just swipe to the far right and enable. Don't forget to download the update from the playstore to enable the upgrade to Lollipop in the future.

That's unfortunate for you. Personally, I don't have any problem after the update. The only trouble I had at first was that it was refusing to install because I had root. I tried to unroot and then reinstall default recovery but I still had the same error. I had to flash factory image on the phone before installing it.
Alright the firmware with the update was added to https://github.com/motoxplay/stock !

Hi Guys,
Newbie to this forum...here's hoping you can help resolve my issue. The latest update (24.81.3.en.ca ) does not want to install on my x play get an" error!" message mid-way through the install. Performed a factory reset ( a few times) as per Motorola customer support. Still get the same error message mid-installation…Any suggestions? My phone is stock ( not rooted ...yet). I noticed other users having issues with this update. Was wondering if I don't install this update will I still be able to install Nougat (when it becomes available)? Other than this issue the phone works great no problems.
Cheers!
Wireless OTA update on rooted lemfo lem5 smart watch downloads the update but does not install it, says root found cannot update. Is there a way to flash the downloaded ota update via twrp? Also I am unable to find the location of the ota update. Where is it stored/downloaded?

Rooted with kingoroot, I am not very sure which app i used to root. Replaced it with supersu app and updated the binary. I found a way to install OTA updates with root using flashfire. It preserves the root after flashing and thus saves the effort and time to re root, although other root related stuff need to be redone especially after full system update. It's very good for incremental updates and good for full system update. The only issue is the flashfire app's display needs to be resized else is unusable. This is a bit pain but I was successfully able to do it. I realized that the recent ota update of 14.19mb dated 11/01/2017 is buggy and does not get installed. Anyone else found similar issue?
It also preserves the custom recovery after installation of updates.

Tried to resize the screen to 320X480?
That will create problems as the display will go off the screen and you might not be able to use. lem5 is 400x400 bigger numbers will reduce the display. Smaller numbers will make it bigger. If you want to experiment and acquire the required display, I suggest go in very small increments or decrement, its a trial and error method, don't change abruptly to a number of big difference. If you do so you will not be able to use the screen and will have to restore full backed up rom from pc. I think it would not be possible even to enter custom recovery as the key combinations of a smartphone probably don't work for watch. Also restoring only system might not do the job. Both data and system needs to be restored as both are changed by playing with the resolution. You have to have a full backup, a backup that can be restored with pc and also don't forget to set usb debugging if your pc backup software requires it before playing around, else there will be no way to do it from the watch. Miracle box software though does not require it for restore and backup.
