[Q] Help troubleshooting 0x1117008 with latest OTA update - G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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 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.

[Q] Upgraded without Unrooting

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!

[Q] No Connection after unroot & uninstalling Freedom - unable to root device again

[Q] No Connection after unroot & uninstalling Freedom - unable to root device again
Sprint GN3
Android version 4.3
SM-N900P
N900PVPUBMJ4
I rooted my device, decided it wasn't for me and followed directions to unroot. I also uninstalled/deleted the app Freedom which I should not have. I did a factory restore but I can't connect to any Google services, including the play store.
I changed time/date, clearing cache, and factory reset. No change. I tried rooting it again using Kingo (which failed) and Odin using this PDA CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-hltespr-hltespr-smn900p.zip which put me recovery mode and I had to use full restore to get out of that.
After I did a factory restore, I tried updating and it said my system had been modified and it wouldn't let me update.
Now, it is downloading the updates. And I really don't know if I should install the updates?
I really don't want to do anymore with this without some advice on what I should do next. I think I need to root again to get to root and remove something that the Freedom app put in, but I'm unable to root.
Any advice on how to proceed from here would be greatly appreciated.
Seems like you didn't follow the correct uninstall procedure for Freedom, which is explained on their website.
Your system files are modified, you have flash stock firmware in order to fix Google Play Store and other apps.
Install freedom
Press menu key and click on stop. If there is start, click on start and after click on stop.

Trouble Installing 027A Update...

I'm having trouble getting the 027A update. I have been rooted since 024A but otherwise fully stock. I'm now running 026A - and the phone is still stock. Titanium Backup shows nothing is frozen. I even just performed a full factory reset on the phone. The phone automatically downloaded the update but says there is an error installing it because software was modified. Any ideas on how to fix this????

Help with Root and Recovery please!

Hello.
My Galaxy S4 was dying so T-Mobile just replaced it with an S5. It came with:
LMY47X.G900TUVS1FOJ4
I clicked on Software updates in About device and it did whatever updates, but the version stayed the same. Then I went to autoroot [dot] chainfire [dot] eu and downloaded the correct file to root. I unzipped the file and ran Odin 3.10.6 that came with it. I was able to root the device no problem.
What seemed like a problem afterward was that I couldn't find SuperSU in the Application list. I know the phone was rooted though because I could launch Titanium Backup to restore all my stuff from the S4. I went to the Play Store to download SuperSU. It kept complaining that I needed a new binary, but it would fail every time to update. I even tried downloading the latest SuperSU zip to install in the recovery mode, but that failed too. I really wasn't too worried about this.
While looking up how to root the S5, I saw some posts where people mentioned their root access stopped after 24 hours. I just experienced this when I launched Titanium Backup to begin uninstalling bloatware. I was informed that I didn't have root access anymore.
I figured I'd try to reflash the auto-root through Odin. According to Odin, everything passed, but looking at the device, it said it's already patched and the restore failed, so it aborted.
Now the device is stuck in an infinite reboot loop. I can access both the download and recovery modes, but that's it.
I'd really really like to not have to do a factory wipe as it was a pain to get everything copied over from the S4.
Can I flash it with something else?
Once I can get back in the device, how do I keep the device rooted? Do I have to flash TWRP or CWM?
The only root program I use is Titanium Backup and would really really like to keep using it to makr regular backups.
Thanks a lot.
Try booting into recovery and wiping the CACHES
If it still won't boot, grab a stock ROM from sammobile .com for your model S5 (G900T by the looks of the ROM name) and flash it with ODIN from download mode
That won't wipe your data or anything you've restored, as long as you don't reset
If it still won't boot, you might have to suck it up and factory reset after flashing stock
Was the TiBu backup you restored, rooted? Maybe restoring the backup restored an old version of SuperSU and broke the CF AR version
Might need to go down the TWRP and SuperSU from TWRP recovery route to get it rooted properly if CF AR isn't woprking 100%, which it doesn't for a fair few people
I tried clearing the cache, but that didn't work.
Is there a way to download the stock ROM without having to create an account on the download site?
The Titanium Backup I restored was rooted. Everything was totally fine, until I went back to TB and it suddenly told me I wasn't rooted anymore.
I did try TWRP after I made the original post. I think messed up the device, but I can get in now. I flashed the latest version and booted into Recovery Mode. I clicked on Fix Permissions and possibly one other thing. It let booted farther before the infinite bootloop. It'd show my lock screen and give me 1-2 seconds before rebooting. If I swiped quickly, I could see the home screen with most of my icons gone. Clicked on Apps shows most of the apps are gone. When I removed the SIM card, I stopped getting the infinite bootloop. Here are the list of important programs I have left:
Contacts (all cleared out), Gallery (all present), Messages (all present), My Files (shows files from previously installed programs that I can no longer access), Phone (works when I put the SIM card back in), Settings
Unfortunately, TB and the Play Store are both gone. I might be able to install stuff using adb or by copying files over. I haven't tried, but it doesn't look good. I tried reflashing the CF ROM. It didn't change anything. I suspect I may be looking at a factory reset at this point. I'm happy to try any other suggestions.
Thank you.

Wut? lol, just make one, it's free...
XDA does not spoon feed
I created an account and downloaded the stock ROM. I flashed the device and got most of the programs to appear again though the Play Store was still missing. I decided to cut my losses and just do a factory reset. I rooted again and put everything back in place. Now I'm experiencing the problem where I lost root after a day or so of use. I'll start a new thread.
Thanks for your help.

After using UPSM Manager and UPSM+ almost all apps disabled/disappeared

Hi there
I wanted to add Messenger to UPSM screen (Ultra power saving mode), so I've tried UPSM Manager and UPSM+. None of them worked on my Galaxy S5 however, after few tries almost all of my apps disappeared. There are a few left. System: Contacts, Text messages, Phone, Settings plus Google and Lockwatch. That's all. The rest disappeared.
On application manager in settings I can see all of them, most of them have status "disabled".
I've downloaded those two apps from here:
UPSM Manager - https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2751785
UPSM+ - http://downloadapk.net/down_UPSM-ROOT.html
I've read that there is a very high probability that they won't work and that Google does not refund price in such case hence downloading .apk - could it be some kind of trojan from the 2nd link?
I've connected with adb console and
PHP:
pm list packages -d
shows 300+ packages as disabled.
PHP:
pm list packages -d | while read line ; do pm enable ${line#*:} ; done
fails with
PHP:
Error: java.lang.SecurityException: Permission Denial: attempt to change component state from ...
I can't run su as it freezes adb shell - su is also disabled so I can't enable it nor reinstall (Failure [INSTALL_FAILED_INTERNAL_ERROR])
Any hint how to restore my phone? Right now it has less features than Nokia 3210...
So maybe I'll ask a different question. Is there a way in my current state to regain root access (via adb shell) and enable disabled apps?

Hi,
In order to get helped it is always useful to provide at the beginning some basic info like phone model, firmware ver , root, recovery (custom or stock) etc.
Easiest way when you messed up your phone would be just restore your nandroid backup but I assume that you didn't make one, did you?
If not, easiest way IMO to regain root is just flashing CF-autoroot or if you have a custom recovery supersu zip file.
I wrote in Galaxy S5 forum so
Anyway: Samsung Galaxy S5 (SM-G900F), Android 5.0, G900FXXU1BOJ1, stock os, rooted
Haven't heard of nandroid before. I had titanium backup, but that's just apps I assume and they are still present on the phone, just disabled.
I haven't heard of CF-autoroot neither, but after picking matching details I got to desktop.firmware.mobi/device:370/firmware:12219 (I can't post urls with <10 posts). I'll have to read what to do with it without breaking a phone even more.

Here is the link to CF-autoroot for S5 variants:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2696537
For applying you need to be familiar with using odin pc software. Be aware that this will trigger KNOX flag if yours is still 0x0.
By the way, how did you root your device initially?
KNOX was set when I initially enable root. To be honest, I can't recall which software I used, but it just worked without any problems. I was more than a year ago. Maybe it was CF but I just don't remember the name?
Anyway, I've generated image via CF-autoroot but it fails:
<ID:0/004> Complete(Write) operation failed.
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)
and now phone says "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again" :-/

That one succeed. There is a high probability I've used that one upon first root.
Anyway, it succeed but adb shell and then su still freezes. Nothing changed. Still no root I guess.

Hmm, so you still can't enable any disabled apps? I am afraid that you may need to try factory reset and if this doesn't help then re-flash complete firmware with full wipe. Before I would make backup of all useful staff what is still working and available in your phone.
Edit: did you read whole app thread? There are a few solutions/workarounds which helped some users with their issues but not sure if it is applicable to your problem,

There is a button "delete everything" but it does not work. Nothing happens when I click it. So the next step is to reflash firmware? That seems like a bit over my knowledge at the moment :/
Also, I assume there is no way to backup sms/mms - not able to install any backup soft and no root for adb:
PHP:
adb pull /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/mmssms.db
adb: error: failed to copy '/data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/mmssms.db' to '.\mmssms.db': remote Permission denied
I'll try from recovery menu.
Ok, so it worked from recovery menu. Data are wiped, phone install some german bloatware and it's like when I first bought it. As I suspected, despite Google backup enabled, it does not work. No apps are being installed. I have to recreate every single app with it's data. That's a small disaster, ech..
Samsung backup restored some sms/mms but from February this year (heh).
Looks like all those automatic backup from Samsung and Google does not work at all and I should probably do some cyclic manual data dump. So why all those backup settings if it does nothing at all?
Anyway, thanks for your help.

Sorry for that. What do you mean by saying "no apps installed" You wrote before that your apps (user and most of the system) have been disabled, not uninstalled by the UPSM.
Are all your disabled system apps still at the same state after factory reset?
You wrote german bloatware? It looks like you have German branded Lollipop 5.0 firmware installed. I would definitely move to Polish latest unbranded (XEO) Marsmallow 6.0.1 to clean up your phone or if you wish to have rooted and debloated stock-based firmware then this rom is a very good alternative:

By saying "no apps installed" I meant that after factory reset (wipe from recovery menu) and signing into my google account, backup restore did not install anything. But I've done yet another reset, this time from options and this time I've set up google account on welcome wizard and.. it worked, google backup restored all 107 apps BUT with no settings (they claim that settings should be also restored), so I have all my apps, but with no settings, so like after fresh install. I'm recreating everything from scratch, one by one.

Yup, phone was bought as (I'm not sure how to translate "powystawowy") refurbished, from shop exhibition(?), a bit cracked on corners, but 2x cheaper. Anyway, it was just a matter of uninstalling 5 German apps (with root of course).
I did not put any other firmware as the one from Samsung has some unique features like mentioned ultra power saving which I enjoy on long travels. I've read that custom roms does not support this or NFC and few others.
