[Q] Checking for updates is crashing? - Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Since yesterday I've been checking whether the OTA update is arriving on my N4. Yesterday, when I pressed "Check for updates", the label saying "Last checked on" changed to the current time and the window stayed open.
Since this morning, every time I press "Check for updates", the label saying "Last checked on" changes to the current time and the window immediately closes.
What does that mean? Is something broken? A reboot didn't help. I'm running Android 4.2.2, no custom ROM, rooted with stock recovery (previously TWRP, but restored the original already).

[Q] "Unfortunately, Phone has stopped" after TB restore

So I upgraded ROM (factory reset, etc), and started restoring using Titanium Backup.
Edit: It was an old Carbon ROM 4.3 to the new CarbonROM 4.4 nightly. I also used the newest PA Gapps
Here's what happened:
Chose "Restore all app with data"
Chose "Let me choose myself!"
Clicked on "Deselect all"
Then, I chose only the green and yellow colored app data, as well as all my missing apps
I started the Restore process...
At 92% completion, it remained stuck at "phone/messaging storage"
I waited 30 minutes and it was still there.
For some reason, I rebooted my phone.
Then I keep getting this message: "Unfortunately, Phone has stopped"
When I press okay, 2 seconds later it pops up again. Every time I press Okay, it pops up immediately after. Very frustrating....
I have also noticed now I no longer have phone signal either....What can I do?
Factory reset will fix. Phone data is not gonna be compatible between kitkat and other roms as the dialler is different.

[TA-1021] October Patch (7.1.2) Update not installed properly

Hi all
I have a Nokia 6 TA-1021, I got the October Update when I checked the system updates. Battery was about 35% at the time so, it didn't install. So, I connected my charger and "restart & install" option showed up. After tapping restart and install, the installing progress bar appeared through a dialog then the phone restarted showing the fading android logo then, booted to OS. Status bar and notifications are visible but the screen is completely blank & black. I waited for sometime and saw notifications like "Need to set a backup account" ;"SD Card Ejected". I restarted the system and fortunately, it booted into OS showing the lock screen and stuff but things changed, the customizations I've made like, my accounts had all been removed/reset. (Installed apps and data still remains. This affects like stored fingerprint, Facebook, Google, WhatsApp accounts & stock launcher). Most importantly it did not got updated. Still in the Sept Patch 7.1.1
Now when I check system updates again, it doesn't show the latest update. What's the problem occurring here? I had the same situation when flashing Sept Patch too

LineageOS - Updater has stopped

Was prompted with a LineageOS 15.1 update this morning, so proceeded to download that. I then clicked "Install" when done and I am told that I am about to upgrade and the phone will reboot after.
As soon as I click "OK" to proceed, updater closes and "Updater has stopped" is displayed.
Restarted the phone and now it doesnt say install but instead says "DELETE" for the update, clicked that, refresh and now no updates found.
Not sure what just happened

After 5th February Update, Backup button is disabled with PIN as lockscreen

Hello people,
my M1 is running latest Android 9 ROM, with February 5 update.
I've flashed it and I've noticed that the "Backup now" button is disabled.
I did a factory restore, too, and I have same issue.
I've noticed that Contacts and Photos are fully synced.
I've played a bit with adb and fastboot to force a backup via shell.
It worked, but the button stay disabled as you can see in attached screenshot.
****UPDATE****
I've noticed that "Backup now" button is enabled if NO LOCKSCREEN IS enabled.
If I choose, for example, PIN as lockscreen, "Backup now" is disabled.
Any hint, please?
Regards,
ghale
My guess would be that you have backup ongoing already ("waiting to backup" messages). I have the button enabled, when I click on it, backup starts and button is disabled until task finished (takes a couple of minutes).
There was similar discussion a while ago with some solutions/workarounds:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/mi-a1/help/mi-a1-pie-update-t3893338
BTW : My backup is working fine since I did the steps I wrote in thread above...
Thanks.
I've tried those steps without success.
I'm going to downgrade and try to see if Backup button works.
Then, I'll upgrade again.
And it's a pain because I have to reinstall everything....
So, to recap: I've downgraded to tissot_images_V10.0.4.0.PDHMIXM_9.0 ROM, then I've done OTA and installed February 5 update.
Now "Backup Now" button is active and works.
What a mess.
I've updated first post with additional info.
Disabling Lockscreen re-enables Backup.
Weird.

OTA Update failed... both unrooted and rooted!

Hi!
A couple weeks ago, I received an OTA update for my Moto G6+. Like most OTAs before, the phone downloaded it automatically but failed to install it. I was constantly getting a "Update unsucessful" error message every hour or so. Before, doing a factory reset would allow me to install the OTA , so I went through with it every two or three months, whenever there was an update available.
This time, however, I decided to root my phone. Why not. And I did! Magisk installed, Smali-patched to make fake GPS apps work fine, etc. I also unchecked the "Download updates" option in the Developer Options so I wouldn't get any updates (I can't install them, since the bootloader is unlocked now).
... but I still got one. And I'm still getting the same error every time the phone tries to install the update. So, my question is: is there any way to delete that update? I remember reading about a button combination during reboot that sent you to a menu with factory reset settings and all that, and going there would delete the OTA file from your device. I know I did it once. But I just can't find how to do it anymore!
Also, is there any way to prevent updates from being downloaded? I though that setting in the Developer Options would do the trick, but it clearly didn't.

To enter fastboot mode just press and hold volume down button while your phone is rebooting. When it's turned off just press and hold volume down + power
The latest OTA updates do not download a .zip file and save it somewhere on your device. It's stored in a cloud.
To prevent your device from starting the update you have to freeze the "Motorola-Updateservices" app.
Therefor open a terminal app and type:
Code:
pm disable com.motorola.ccc.ota

Thanks. Let's see if that does the trick!
