Hey everyone!
It's 5:47am on this Tuesday, November 9th, and I have a firmware update notification in the status bar.
What should I do?
Devs?
: )
Are you running a custom Rom or stock? If stock, what is your current software and firmware version.

I'm running a custom rom, SlideMeRoot, with the first Mytouch Slide update applied.
Or SlideMeRoot is a version of the stock rom?
Then:
Firmware: 2.1-update1
Software number: 1.27.531.1
Images attached.
They are trying to give you the OTA. Don't take it if you like your root.

I know that's why I've posted here.

There hasn't been a text message sent out about any other updates. This is them trying to ruin your root access.

I also haven't heard about any privilege revocation updates in that case.
The OTA broke root for so many people it isn't funny.

Slidemeroot uses is older than ota, they are sending you the rom that cr modded(1.3.x). Upgrade to cr for new radio and it will go away.
Edit: read rest of your post,it may be a small hotfix, probably not 2.2 .Maybe 2.1.1

Sounds like you've got the OTA many of us have had for quite some time. Take a look at my signature; if your build resembles my current ROM it's an older OTA. Post some screen shots as you did earlier so we can see the change since you've updated. Thanks.

I've also had that update for quite some time.
So before anyone else suggests that very update again in this thread, bear that in mind.
Well what are you waiting for? Go ahead and transfer it from the phone and post it

Bear in mind the OTA update was more than just a radio upgrade ... which from your initial post appears to be the extent of the OTA you have had for quite some time. Interested to see the updated screen shots though ...

Dude (and everyone else who reads this thread), please -- I'm asking for guidance here.
So if you want me to do something, articulate what that is.
I will transfer the update from my phone and post it here, just tell me HOW.
Anything else you need: also articulate what that is and how.

It was more than a radio upgrade; it was also a fix for other slide conundrums.
So you want me to apply this OTA update and post screen shots?
Because that would be unwise for a rooted phone...
Hi All,
Please forgive me if this sounds like a noob question...
Here is the situation:
Rooted verizon galaxy s5 with towel root.
Cannot install the new OTA update they just released, the update downloads and fails on the attempt to install. Shows the little green android with red ! in his belly:cyclops:

First, plug phone into computer, and install updater software from the phone that is on the device in 'Installer Mode'. Take the download on the PC, then follow directions below, and you can still have root after.

Hi again,
I installed the upgrade assistant in installer mode but for some reason it is not picking up the new NE9 update on my computer. See attached print screen. Very strange.. It sees the update on my phone to download though.:cyclops: Do you know why this is and how I can get it to see the update on the upgrade assistant as you mentioned?
Kind Regards
Can you explain why you want the update so bad? You do realize that rooting and accepting official otas is completely contradictory, correct? OTAs are generally what fix things like what towelroot exploits. If you accept official OTA, you will likely lose root.
But can't I just re root after the ota? I guess the reason I want the Ota because I heard of camera enhancements and stability fixes

No. OTA have patches for known security flaws as well. The flaw that towelroot relies on is closed after the new OTA. Meaning, no more root.
edit: in this case I believe folks have figured out a work around for keeping root with the update. In general though, if you value root and what it provides you do not accept official releases.

@ks3rv3rg I believe the links mentioned above provide a workaround for the Root to be kept after updating.
As for the problem nick, I can't help you there. I haven't personally take it as I see taking OTA's is silly with a rooted phone you can modify to be much more. Perhaps someone else who has done it will chime in...
Thank you both for your perspectives.. Plus, I can always just wait for a ROM that currently has the update installed.

I think you are referring to my safestrap flashable OTA zip file. I'm going to keep that one in my back pocket for the next OTA since the kernel swap worked.

I have a similar question but reversed. How do I stop it from updating and it from asking me to update? I have the free version of titanium backup and can't freeze it. Is their another way? I can't turn off SDM that runs the ota upgrade i can only force stop it.

Have you switched to ART or anything like that? Tried a reboot or factory reset?
The update is failing for me as well. Stock rooted with TWRP and Xposed. After starting the update, the phone goes into TWRP and starts running an update script, but fails.
Anyone have a zip or IMG or something of the update?

I just turned on my phone a few minutes ago and saw the update.
Honestly, I wanted to check here on the XDA forum first to see who installed the UPDATE for the phone, because frankly, after the recent Lollipop UPDATE that Google sent out to their Nexus line of devices, and the HUGE DRAMA with system BUGS, I'm leaning toward conservative -- even though I know this isn't a Lollipop O/S update.
UPDATE: I found the link on T-Mobile's website, and they say, "This update provides Chinese language support"
https://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-18152
Went ahead and allowed the update to be applied but because I have already rooted it the update wouldn't take.

Just a few more days and I will get home to my Edge that is sitting in its box. After setting it up I am going to use your root method.
Saw the update this morning when I got up and this popped up in the googletron. I know it's for the Note 4 but I'm wondering if any of this garbage will happen post update... Anyone have any issues like stated in the article?
http://www.tmonews.com/2014/12/t-mo...e-malware-installing-apps-without-permission/
Please note that I am not rooted yet, had an issue with my accelerometer with my first Edge and I'm giving this a few weeks to see if anything crops up first.
My girl got this is morning. Nothing on my phone but i havent check either. I always wait until i get the info on xda first.
But with it just being language support i doubt i will be looking for it.
But im also willing to bet its a patch for something and they just dont want to say so.

Hi, feel like an idiot having to ask this but I'd rather be an idiot with a working phone than one without. Anyhow when you say update via ODIN, which slot am I putting it in to? Or maybe the better question is where in the CF Rooting process does the zip or rather md5 file get flashed?

That would be step -1 (step negative 1) right before step 0... You will start by flashing via Odin the newest NK3 firmware... Then continue the whole guide. Any questions, just ask.

Just checked and received it as well!
Has somebody captured the OTA file?

I had Verizon before. They are known for doing updates late and completely messed up. At least they aren't late this time. I'm just miffed that they dropped it before RETUS.

You do not need root to read most system files.
It used to be in /cache but deletes itself after the flash.

I know. Since I flashed it, I couldn't pull the ota through logcat.
My update is having issues. Tried a handful of times and would get "update could not be verified" or something similar after the download would complete update. When it doesn't fail verification, the install fails after rebooting. wtf, I have tried the VZW/Moto software update program but it returns that I have the latest software. Guess that channel might not be updated yet.
