I may have missed this in another thread, so please feel free to redirect me if so...
Without thinking, I updated my Droid with the OTA push and my previously rooted Droid 2 is now not rooted.
I did try to run the oneclick and 1-2-3 root processes. Both end with "your device is now rooted", but of course it's really not. I do have the Superuser APK, but my rooted programs are not communicating with it. And I'm not able to uninstall the Superuser program (thought I'd try to reinstall it). No go.
I had Titanium Backup, ad am wondering if I can wipe my phone and restore it, then upgrade, and root after. I'm a newbie with limited knowledge, so wondering if I've backed myself into a corner on this one.
All feedback appreciated!
Yesterday, I did the same thing you tried and I was successful in rerooting my phone after the OTA update. When you used the 1-click process did you choose option 1 or 2. I tried 2 and it didn't work. I had to chose option 1 (reload everything) to be successful. BTW, remember to make a new recovery backup of the system.

Same issue here - how I fixed
I had already made titanium backups of important stuff - you have to go into applications (that use root) and force stop and clear data. Once this is complete open titanium backup for instance, and you should be asked for super user and then be good to go. Same goes for rest of apps that need root
OTA update Loop?
i have my d2 rooted after the ota 2.2 update. i just received a notification to accept the most recent OTA update ... whatever it is... and assumed it was one of my apps as i didnt read it thru completely b4 tapping 'ok'. now it is stuck in a download, reboot, update, "update unsuccessfully installed", redownload, reboot...........
is there a way to cancel the update? i dont really care if i have it or not
or some way to stop this process aside from the airplane mode i had to set it to so it would stop this madness
So you can do the OTA update without having to unroot and reroot?
Great advice from all - thanks! I'm not sure exactly what fixed it, but I ran DOROOT several times, did the unplug/plug when it hung for a minute, force closed/cleared data from previously rooted items, and also put phone into 'charge only' mode when USB Debugger would not run.
Finally - success! My advice to users with this same issue - try and try again.
Thanks all!
Ok I am posting this in case it is of any help to anyone. I have friends and family that have the SGS and decided to write them a few instructions on how to update their phone. I have updated 16 phones myself so far and found this to be the best method. Each phone has worked perfectly after with none of the problems I am seeing being reported on this forum. Hope it works for you too.
Backup apps and data with My Backup (free) or My Backup Pro. Pro version backs up application data which is very useful.
If you have installed OCLF then open OCLF and Undo OCLF, Undo Root and Remove Ext2 Tools.
On phone go to Settings, Privacy, Factory Reset.
When phone reboots type in *2757*3855#
When the phone restarts update phone to latest firmware using Kies.
After updating again run Settings, Privacy, Factory Reset.
When phone reboots type in *2757*3855#. This seems to either use a slightly different format or wipe files not wiped previously. I really don't know but either way phones I have tested this method on have had less lag.
Turn on USB Debugging by going to Settings, Applications, Development, USB Debugging.
Change Settings, Wireless and Network, USB settings to Ask On Connection
Connect phone to pc via usb. Do not enable any mode.
On PC run SuperOneClick found here, h t t p ://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=803682. This does not take long. Superuser will install last and should be followed by Done. This does not always happen so if you see superuser being installed for more then 10 seconds you can safely close SuperOneClick.exe. It will have installed but you have not received the final Done message.
Reboot phone and it’s now rooted.
In Market install OCLF and My Backup/My Backup Pro.
Run OCLF and install Ext2 followed by OCLF V2+.
Reboot phone.
Run OCLF, Alter minfree. Click Strict and set on boot then Fire it up.
Run Change Scheduler choosing Deadline, set on boot and tweaks then Fire It Up.
At the moment it seems if you reboot the phone you must make the last two changes again as the set on boot does not always work.
Run My Backup/My Backup Pro and restore all applications.
When finished run again this time restoring Data.
Reboot phone.
Now you may be left with one small problem. Market Download does not always show all your apps installed. Tends to be missing the free ones you have installed.
Run Settings, Application, Manage Applications, All
You will see Market and Market Updater. Go into each and click Force Close then Clear Data.
Now when you go back in to Market, Downloads you should see all your apps installed that are available in the Market.
If you have any apps installed from Samsung Apps you will need to reinstall them again. The reason being is even though you restored them the samsung app does not know you have done that and you won’t be notified of updates in the future.
All these steps doesn't look painless. I just flashed mine with Odin without the need to do anything else. After the update everything worked just fine.

Hi.
This procedure doesn't work for me, because of the Kies problem. I have yet to work around it.
However, I just want to point a slight mistake.
That code you entered doesn't work. It should be *2767*3855# . That's the Factory Reset without confirmation.
Thanks for the post.
In my opinion the most painless method of updating to 2.2 is by using Kies with registry hack tool made by Nodial : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=835628&highlight=Kies+registry . Then apply the CWM if you want root and you are ready to go
why bother with this complicated stuff if the official update from Kies will be available for every country by the end of the month?

I've rooted my nexus 7 and some months later I used the softkeyZ app what changes your softkeys/navbar. I made a backup from my softkeys. when I changed them the first time it worked. I wanted my normal softkeys back so I updated the backup and my softkeys where gone... I was lucky I had LMT PIE as extra softkeys but when I booted it up I was stuck in a bootloop and reset my tablet. the softkeys where still gone and my root... I can't update my ADB drivers and can't access my play store apps...
please HELP!!!
already thank you

Nexus 7 (Read everything before doing something to your device)
Hello, i ran into the same problem today, and yesterday i have rooted my nexus 7 for the first time but don't worry , i just fixed it after a long research in some forums. My device particularly got softbricked after some failed attempts of reviving it but the solution for the problem is the same since the corrupted file is the SystemUI.apk. First you'll need to install Nexus Root Toolkit, make sure you update every directory before doing this. Then follow this steps ( skip step one if you already have installed the drivers for the nexus 5):
1-Installing the drivers: After you open Nexus root toolkit and selected your device and build you'll need to configure the drivers, for this click on Full Driver Installation _Automatic + Manual (The steps for installing them are pretty straightforward and they are detailed inside the program).
2-If the driver tests were successful (At this point a backup is recommended but not necessary ) , then select Soft_bricked/bootloop (under Flash Stock + Unroot) and then click Flash Stock + Unroot. You'll be prompted to several windows until you encounter one that's titled "Which Factory Image" select the latest build that your tablet had, and in the same window under settings select "Force Flash Mode" Then hit "Ok" and follow the on screen instructions.
This process restores the main folders of the device by deleting the old ones and pushing new functioning ones , so THIS WILL WIPE ALL DATA. Basically your tablet will boot as if it booted for the first time out of the box. After this you can Unlock and Root it again, i did it and it works just like after i rooted it yesterday. Hope this helps you out and anyone who is suffering the same problem.

Hi folks,
I've got a Verizon LG G2, and I've performed the following tweaks:
- Disabled a few unneeded services (e.g. verizon location agent, sync service, etc. using the built-in android capability
- Rooted via "ioroot" technique
- Installed ClockWorkmod Superuser app (for some reason the ioroot app wasn't prompting before allowing root)
- Backed up and then uninstalled extra cruft using Titanium Backup.
Lately I noticed that there's an OTA update available. However, when I try to install it, it reboots and eventually gives me a 0x1117008 error. Through a little bit of searching, I concluded that 0x1117008 was perhaps an error indicating that the device had been rooted. And sure enough, the Status section in About Phone did indicate "rooted" in Rooting Status.
Through using Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper, I was able to un-root the phone. I also removed other traces of the SuperUser apk and used the "forel.lee" trick to reset the "Rooting Status" property back to "unrooted". However even after all of this, the update failed with 0x1117008. "Rooting Status" still shows "unrooted" after the failed update, too. So my next strategy was to restore the bundled cruft apps via Titanium Backup, and re-enable the unneeded services (and subsequently performing the root removal steps). And sure enough, 0x1117008 once again.
My questions at this point are:
- Is 0x1117008 really because the error detected that the device was rooted? Or is it perhaps some generic message that could mean multiple things?
- If 0x1117008 is indeed because root was detected, does that imply that the update process does a different/more-thorough check for a device having been rooted? And if so, what indicators of having been rooted might I be missing? e.g., could it even be going as far as detecting the presence of apps such as Titanium Backup Root as indication of being rooted?
- Other posts indicate that a way to get the OTA update working is to do a factory reset and then upgrade from there. But that'd blow out all of my data such as text messages and app-specific stuff, right?
Any questions or suggestions on how to proceed would be greatly appreciated. I'm not overly concerned about this incremental upgrade, but my fear is that when the KitKat update eventually comes out, I'll be in the same boat. Worst case scenario, I suppose a factory reset combined with the same steps that I used to migrate data from my old phone (Google online backup, SMS Backup & Restore, etc.) might allow me to do it. But that was a headache I'd like to avoid if at all possible.
Thanks!

Well, I tried doing a factory reset, and it still resulted in a 0x1117008 error on attempting to install the OTA update! It wasn't really straightforward, but here's what I did to get the phone updated:
Create Titanium Backup Root backup
Create SMS Backup & Restore backup
Via adb shell, make a tarball of all of /sdcard
Get a copy of that tarball via adb pull
Do factory reset. This will clear everything in /sdcard!
Remove evidence of root
Use LG Mobile Support Tool to get latest ROM. I can't link to it, but google for B2CAppSetup.exe The option to update the software is available via a menu option. It's about 2GB and takes a while to download.
Re-root (ioroot 1.7)
adb push sdcard tarball back on device
Extract sdcard tarball via adb shell
Restore messages via SMS Backup & Restore
I had unchecked the option to have Google back up my apps during one of my factory resets, and this apparently deleted my online backups. So my app restores were manually via Titanium Backup
It's possible that this upgrade may have succeeded without doing a factory reset, which would have made things much easier. Also, I did note that during the Firmware Update process, it said "UNROOTED" on the screen. It's not clear if it would have succeeded if it were detected as rooted.
Edit: It appears that SMS Backup & Restore is redundant, as Titanium Backup can restore SMS messages. And Contacts as well. (I have a number of non-google-synced contacts)

I'm getting the same error... do you have any suggestions on how to get the update applied without the full reset? Thanks.
Edit: LG Support Tool finally worked to complete the update.
Encounter the same error while doing ota update. G2 rooted.

I encounter the same problem here while updating via OTA. Please guide me. Did u do factory reset using LG Support Tool or did u simply update kitkat via PC Suite? Will it also encounter the same error when using the latter method?
Anyone Helping with This???

I have the same problem, I have not seen anyone with help for us???
Reviving an old thread. I'm getting the same error with the Latest January 2015 update. Rooted with towel root. Stock ROM, no frozen apps. My Wife's stock unrooted G2 updated fine.
David
Same error here. Rooted with Towel Root and stock rom. Wifi hotspot mod is about the only thing I've done with the root. Wondering if reverting the hotspot mod will allow it to update.
Keep getting the update pops up and I dont want to update. Is there a way to disable the update itself?
I tried App Settings > System Apps > Moto Update Services, Force stopped but there isnt Freeze or disable Options like my S8. Any ideas?
Thanks!
I froze it in Titanium Backup. That is if you're rooted of course.
Why don't you just update what's the point in not updating when there is an update.
This is under the developer options. It bugged me too.
I'd have a street party if mine said there was an update, i think it is a myth and no updates actually exist.

What option stops the notification? Disabling automatic system updates will still prompt you occasionally to update if there is an update pending.
Using Titanium Backup, I assume freezing Motorola Update Services should be the only app required, correct?
If I wanted an opinion on whether or not I should perform the update, I would have referred to the "should I perform the update" thread - not the "How to disable the G5 plus update notification".
Seems like a very simple thing to understand, no?
Here is the real answer:
adb shell
pm uninstall -k --user 0 com.motorola.ccc.ota
Ok, but more clarification please.

Got a new Moto G5 plus (unlocked) with 7.0. Spouse accidentally downloaded update BUT caught the error before installing the update, and did not install. The file is apparently on the phone and now badgers us constantly to install. I want to halt the automatic update process and remove the downloaded update file. I have disabled automatic updates under the 'Developer Options' as you say, but the notice continues, even after reboot. I suspect it is because the update is now resident on the phone and triggers the process, even though it has been switched off under developer options. This phone has not been rooted. I guess the fix will require rooting, but I'm apprehensive about what method is the most current and reliable, specifically for this phone. Any help on how to proceed would be greatly appreciated. Til then, a billion annoyances.
Same issue here - and the update notification is extremely aggressive. It will interrupt anything I'm doing, including videos/music on YouTube.
I vaguely recall reading somewhere that we need to flash a stock recovery and boot.img temporarily, but I don't know if that's accurate. I'm wondering if I should just wipe it and install Unofficial LineageOS.
For clarity, at least in my case:
Phone is rooted
TWRP Recovery
Custom boot.img
Stock ROM
EDIT: I'm trying NeoGeo's advice and freezing Motorola Update Services using Titanium Backup.
