+1 to this. Can't upload cause bootloader unlocked but if i relock it I cant turn on my phone and dont know why

Did you install a recovery? I've seen that happen with TWRP installed, I suppose it needs to be updated to .253

+1 I have exactly the same issue. You can not even dismiss the notification op the OTA update. I was on 434 and rooted. Flashed via CWM the 253.

Try uninstalling or freezing the Update Centre app.

Okay Force Stop, Clear Data does not work once the Update Center restarts the notification is back. Had to freeze the application for now until fix can be found.

If you mean you've froze or uninstalled it and still getting the notification then try freezing the Update Service.

im confused are you legit about a new update? why would that cause my problem

I also have the same problem. Flashed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2279661 and still get the OTA update notification since two days ago. I have also attempted OTA but it fails during update.

I had the same problem, froze it with Titanium Backup and that solved it

You must flash back stock kernel using Flash Tools before can locked back bootloader.
Locked bootloader don't work with any 3rd party Kernel if you had flash before, example DooMLoRD kernel or the DooMLoRD recovery which include it own kernel as well.

Flash back stock kernel of .253 ROM (from any .253 ROM FTF) via Flash Tools will prevent the un-stop mentioning of new firmware available. Remember only flash the Kernel, not the whole ROM by untick Data, Cache, Appslog, Kernel, and Fota at Flash Tools.

Do I need to unlock my bootloader to use autoroot?
How I wish this update would be done via OTA..
main reason for me is I don't want to lose root and to I don't want to flash also because restoring 14gb+ of data will be a lot of work for me.. I'm thinking not to use titanium backup instead I will just copy all my sd card files to my PC as a backup file.. But I fear that if i return all my files back to sd card after update some apps/games might not work properly.
autoroot would be a great idea though, but I don't trust the guy who said it.. I think felix is just boosting his post count by lurking around this forum, giving incomplete details, always saying "there is already thread about that", and other non sense post just to boost his post count.. No pun intended felix..
I think many/most people with a locked bootloader are waiting for the ota (myself included). The ota for the arc xloud update came a while after it arrived on Pc Companion/SEUS so i guess it just a waiting game now for when it arrives.

Im not sure myself since i also have the play but i think it was a few weeks. I just noticed a similar discussion on the arc forum (about if they will loose root) and a few weeks later people were getting the update over ota. But like the last update not every country has had the ota update yet only some.
OTA update 4.0.A.2.368 available + remain rooted (arc)
got the update via OTA today! (Philippines)
and i managed to preserve root!
Yey!

Thats how i did it anyway,you dont need unlocked B00TLoader to use FlashTooL so maybe try that?It may not work though and pretty risky too
I read somewhere you don't need unlocked bootloader to use flashtool but if you try to flash custom kernel via flashtool you need an unlocked bootloader....
I tried ota (uk generic) today but after download I get 'could not install software' error.

[FIX] Enable FOTA update for UNLOCKED bootloaders WITHOUT brick

Hello pals
Well I have a good news
All of you know about the FOTA update problems when your bootloader is unlocked. Well forget about it.
Simple as that, FOTA brick is past.
Now is possible to unlock bootloader and even repair the already unlocked ones to be able to update via FOTA.
So if you have this problem and you want to fix it you know what to do. (Send me a PM)
This process have no cost but if you want to buy me some Dr. Pepper you can donate
DONATE
You will need to download this: Download Me
And also a paperclip or wire will be needed.

Users with phones unlocked by omnius/others-tools can NOT use this fix without re-unlock the phone.
I think is caused by different signature certs
How about if you haven't unlocked the bootloader but have rooted? Will a factory reset allow safe updates? Will a factory reset put system apps back the way they should be, even if they've been changed? I changed BBC iPlayer for the one that allows connection to 3g. Will I have to put the original apk back in the system apps folder?

Really?, did you update yet?, to which version?, which region is your phone?
Nothing for india
after 40 minutes updating it installed OK, I booted the phone and got "updating android: optimizing app 2 of 2" then "launching apps"
checked in settings "about phone", nothing changed in versions. I assume "update service" can't do partial updates as OTA do.

Or just do my restore.
I am not sure my restore has the bug as I use the Avsi.frankenROM as my daily rom.

All that occurred a few days after the ota push... I "purchased" the device the day prior to the ota... none the less I am about to be on the new base band to see if that helps any with the data drops if not I may just have to flash a few ROMs and hope I find one I like that plays well with a must have app of mine...

in the FWIW department, the only time I noticed data dropping (and usually wifi - never mobile data) is when I'm using an app that accesses FB (such as Scrabble).
other than that, zero issues.
if you're having mobile data issues, could be the tower in your area. try getting the Network Info app to measure your signal strength.
