Hi,
I'm on kit kat at the moment and am trying to apply the latest 4.4 OTA via TWRP. It's constantly failing. The only changes I've made are root access, custom hosts file that I've reverted and busybox that I've uninstalled. Is there anything else I should look at that in some way would make the update fail?

If I root my Nexus 10, will I still be able to download OTA Android upates? Will I loose root access by updating? I'm on stock Android 4.2.2, unrooted right now.
Should be able to. Just don't download/install a custom recovery mode. I'm on the stock 4.2.2 rooted.

Yes you will still get OTA and YES you will lose root. You can back up the root binary and restore it very easily after an OTA via OTA Root Keeper. You can get that here: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.projectvoodoo.otarootkeeper&hl=en
Hi,
i have a rooted nexus 4 with TWRP installed.
I got an OTA update on the phone which says TAP to Install Android 4.4, when i click that , it restarts the phone into TWRP and thats it....no update.
when i reboot y phone back to normal, its still on 4.3.
I want to install 4.4.2 without loosing my data. Is it possible, else i will have to install the 4.4.2 via TWRP , but install everything all over again, which i dont want to do.
i just want to install the OTA update.
Thanks.
Just flash the stock rom there's a few floating around here and you won't need to wipe data

OTA updates require a stock recovery and a stock rom.
I have rooted my G2(D802) in stock rom.
Will I still receive Official OTA update?
1. you will, but the device will refuse to install it because it's rooted
2. you will, the device will install it and your phone will only root to recovery (if you have custom recovery)
those are the only scenarios I know of.

Yes the update can sill show up and after ignoring it a couple of times it will force itself to install and either a)if you have custom recovery you will bootloop and if you were using twrp there is a way to remove update or you will need to go Back to stock, b)if you have modified system, installed xposed or removed bloat it will refuse to install because those are things that can only be done with root and so will give message won't update because it's suspected of rooting and there are ways to make it so that it won't update but I don't remember

I have a rooted Note 4 SM-N910F. I just received an update notification and I downloaded the update (I had to fake the status of the phone using Wanam) and pressed install. It took me to TWRP recovery and there I understood that it will not work and I won't be able to update officially while rooted. My question is how do I update my device while rooted?
This is not the Lollipop update, its just some small samsung update but I still would like to have the latest updates from Samsung.
Thanks!

I have a rooted N10, but not running any custom ROM. Have Lollipop 5.0 installed and just got the notice for the 5.1 upgrade. I'm somewhat of a noob to Android, but learning alot. Wondering if doing the OTA would be better than manually installing the upgrade. I'm gonna backup using TWRP no matter what. I want the simplest, most effective way to get the update. Thanks.
You'll likely loose root by applying the OTA, but that maybe the easiest way to upgrade assuming you've not altered or removed any apps from /system/app directory as the OTA does a check before installing. You may also need to re-apply recovery but I doubt it. Assuming you are using TWRP you can use that to gain root again. 5.1.1 has worked flawlessly for me for the last week or so.

Thanks, I wasnt sure if the OTA would install since it was rooted, but if I lose root, I can always root again. I've not removed any apps from system/app. I'll make sure I backup and if i need to recover, I can figure that out.
The OTA threw an error on my rooted N10 and wouldn't install. Stock recovery. I ended-up installing the 5.1.1 factory image in "no-wipe" mode, and everything was successful.
