Fixed!!!!! I used Brks Asus transformer rootkit script to root which installs an insecure bootimage to work and this is what caused the problem, I just plugged my trandormer in and restored my original files then the update went on fine first try!!!! Thanks for the help!!!!

Did you install Clemsyn/Blades OC kernel? More than likely this is causing your problem.......

I'm getting the same error. Running 3.2 stock but rooted, no modified kernel. Only thing I modified was the Netflix patch which doesn't seem like it's needed now. Is there a flash able zip for this new update?

You can't update the normal way after rooting.

Actually, thats not true. I was running on stock 8.6.5.6 rooted, and was able to update sucessfully. I verified the update in the settings. I have also verified with root checker that i am no longer rooted, as i was before the update. I bought my transformer only a few weeks ago. It came with 3.1 and i updated to 3.2 before rooting. Wonder if that or the rooting method has something to do with why i was able to update while rooted.

I rooted using the method in this thread:

Same happened to me. As I understand it just rooting doesn't prevent future OTA updates, hence why I was prompted to download this latest, but why it now after failing it tells me there is no longer an update available is beyond me. I can only think ASUS has pulled it for some reason.

You only get it offered the once. Your device is then marked as updated at Asus end. If it didn't work because you were rooted, then tough...

Hmm interesting.
Which method did you use to root it?
Maybe we can pin point why the updates are failing for some people after rooting. I would like to root mine if it was 100% that the OTA updates would still work, even if I had to root it again after each one.

I'm having problems with OTA updates and have used Brk's ASUS Transformer HC3.2 RootKit Script to root my device.
I probably did something very stupid...in which I factory reset the device, but noticed that "superuser" is still installed in the apps list. I'm wondering now if i have to re root the device to uninstall superuser and then do another factory reset and then see if the OTA update works? suggestions appreciated

I always look at the updater script in the package before I update. This script contains a bunch of asserts that check the integrity of certain files before it will apply the update. If you can get the update package just open " \META-INF\com\google\android\updater-script" with notepad and that will show everything that's happening when the update occurs including the file asserts it makes. If you've modified these files then it will not update. 8.6.5.6 initially didn't work for me but by checking the script I found the problem was my srs_processing.cfg file because I tried to fix my speaker balance and this was a file that the script asserted. After restoring the original file I was able to update with stock recovery even though I had modified other system files. As long as the specific files the update checks are ok the update will proceed.

You need to UnRoot it, I don't think factory reset makes any difference to rooting

The above post about altering certain files appears it might have something to do with it. I rooted using this method... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1198303
But it was V2 when i used it. It is now currently V4.

You can re-download the update if you clear your DMClient cache.
Follow the instructions in this thread.

I had the error with the Android + exclamation mark so I unrooted (reflashed both the stock ROM AND the stock recovery - to get rid of clockworkmod) then cleared the DMClient cache and was I able to update OTA.

As far as I am aware the OTA will not install if you have clockwork Mod flashed for recovery. But if you have rooted without flashing over stock recovery ie clockwork mod not installed the OTA should work but you will lose root by updating.

Good point. I did not have clockwork mod recovery installed. Had stock recovery, stock ROM rooted.

I tried flashing back original boot and recovery image, update still failed, and now it fota won't come back. Cleared DMClient cache and hard reset. Guess I'm out of luck until someone releases a flashable version of the update?

Same thing happened to me. Tried all the above, and can't get the update to come back.

Have any of you changed original system files whilst rooted? That's why it was failing for me. I managed to get the update again but it failed. I got it once more after it rebooted but took a copy first, unrooting made no difference. Unlike the downloadable firmwares from the ftp site which I checked out, the update script checks the integrity of a ton of files mainly the system apps that cannot be changed without root. If any have changed the script aborts.
Unfortunately even though I had backed up all of them with Titanium Backup, it wouldn't restore them and TB just hung. I tried all its options but nothing helped - a little worrying.
In the end I copied off the TB backup directory to a USB stick and used the NVflash recovery to restore back to factory. I then performed the upgrade again to both the tablet and dock without issues. Four hours later I have it almost back to where I want it.
Hope this helps some of you, even though it's not the best process, but the update imho is worth it

[Q] Rooting Confusion on latest OTA Update

I apologize in advance if this has been answered or if I have inadvertently offended. I did watch the video and have developed OSes for 30 years. I also have searched all over this site and the web for resolution and am making no progress, so I'm asking the 'oracle'
Got an ATT S4 (I337) a week ago - it was running UCUAMDL. I rooted it using Motochopper and was happily using Titanium Pro etc. I get notified of OTA update. OTA update downloads (357MB) yet fails during install at 30% consistsently.
I figure it is unhappy with my root - I unrooted and cannot remember which way I did it - I seem to recall SuperSU I was using did not have the built-in 'unroot' support so I grabbed the stock image and used ODIN to flash it.I also may have manually uninstalled the 'normal' way the SU app - I suspect this may be my real problem.
After flashing stock ROM for UCUAMDL phone was no longer rooted, did not say custom etc, and took the OTA upgrade just fine. This was for UCUAMF3 which did add App 2 SD support - BTW this update used another 1G of storage compared to UCUAMDL, and I could not recover the 1G by moving apps either, making it virtually worthless as far as adding support for apps in SD, lol.
The problem is now I cannot seem to get the device rooted again. Motochopper fails when installing su.apk. I suspect I have screwed the pooch - what do I need to do to get this thing rooted again?
Is it typical for an OTA update to fail 'because' the device is rooted?
Any advice is much appreciated.

You can't root mf3. You never should have taken the update if you want to be rooted. Cross your fingers that someone finds a way to root the update but I'm not sure you should hold your breath.

So is doing a stockrom restore back to MDL an option? Then just root that with Motochopper? And disable OTA updates till its figured out?
The real joke here is that to get their built in app-to-sd functionality they give you an update that hogs up another 1GB!

Nope. Can't go back. Just gotta wait it out. Cheers

Just curious if you don't mind - WHY can't you go back? (Ready for the explanation based on perms and su etc, lol) Or flash stock ROM and factory reset etc?

[Q] 4.3 update frozen on Odin screen

I downloaded the official OTA update. When I went to install it the phone needed to reboot and now I've been stuck looking at the Green Android screen saying Downloading... Do not turn off target!!! and in very small writing could not do normal boot, Odin mode. I am rooted. Please help

What version is the phone? I'm reading up on things in preparation of updating myself. I'm on MF3 and for what I've read I need to Odin back to stock before updating since I'm rooted. This may not be your case figured I'd toss it out there.

Ok I am going to try to go back to stock by using a firmware DL and Odin v3.07 If it works I will tell everyone. If not I may be screwed.

I'm currently on MF3 and had rooted my device previously and would like to upgrade to the new OTA. Would someone be so kind to link me to ODIN and the stock file,so I may return to stock and apply the OTA.
Thank you,

Did anyone go to recovery and factory reset?

I'd recommend it but it's to late for me.

This worked for me to unroot.
To unroot, try this. It worked for me. I'm back to "official". However, I've downloaded 4.3 like 5 times already. I can download 100%, but when it reboots to install it stops at 30% then says update failed.

Same exact problem!
wading through threads for answer!

Ok I have my phone working again. I am not on 4.3 but its back to where it was before I started, which is better than nothing. After running Odin once and it failing like it always does (I have never seen it work) I was able to get the holding down volume, home and power button option to work and I just said no and to reboot and it worked. I then went into SuperSU app and unrooted. I will try to update to 4.3 at a later time. I am glad I wasn't the only one having issues. I usually pride myself on knowing technology and being able to figure it out.

I had the same problem. The only way I was finally able to upgrade to 4.3 was to use Odin to revert to stock (unrooted) 4.2.2 MF3 using the files on this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2502003 Once I did that I ran the OTA update to 4.3 and it worked without any problems.

So if I oden to stock again don't root Then hit the update it should go? Weird thing is I installed my back up today and it a stock backup fresh rich from a oden wipe and it stared DL on its own before I stopped it with killing WiFi. I s this 4.3 update or is it mf3 since I never did that update. ..help. Thanks

Take it to Best Buy. "Kies broke your phone" *wink*wink* and they can flash it back to stock without messing up your data. You can do it yourself. Plus they have this mysterious awesome SMART tool. Lol

Use the link in my previous post (post #13). That has the files and procedures for using Odin to get back to stock 4.2.2 and then you can do the OTA upgrade from there.

[Q] HELP HELP HELP verizon ota butchered my phone

i was running digital dream vs1.1 for the verizon G2. i got ota update notification last night but i was too tired to deal with it. well my gf rolled over to check the time this morning and meant to use knock on and coincedently knocked on the part of the screen that said install now now. now no matter what i do it wont leave twrp. i tried wiping, reinstalling, restoring, nothing works. any ideas?

Using TWRP, go into command mode and type the command used to turn off the flag to boot into recovery. Should get you back booting on 11A.
If you screwed up and Factory Defaulted, then you'll gonna have to restore stock and update naturally before hacking.
To restore stock, you gotta download the stock TOT file and use the flasher to go back to stock, then update the OTA updates twice up till the latest 12B. RE-Root and reinstall TWRP.
Nothing else works. Not even restoring a backup. The Flasher app was pretty straight forward after downloading all of the DLL files needed to launch it.

Rogers D803 - KK update vs Root

Hi all!
Rogers has just released KK update.
Since there's no root method as of now for 4.4, I decided to root my phone this morning prior to performing the update.
My question:
Do I also need to install a custom recovery (TWRP) BEFORE upgrading to 4.4 if I want to keep root access?
Is it sufficient to be rooted (without custom recovery) in order to keep root access after 4.4 update?
I already downloaded the update to my phone but opted to install the update later.
So I'm hoping this way, I won't have any issues with the phone not wanting to download the update because of a not stock recovery detected.
Thanks in advance!

The upgrade erases the whole phone, so you can't keep root access. There's no root yet for KK on g2.

I upgraded my G2 on Rogers today and lost root, however there is at least one person who did it while keeping root, check this thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=51363510, for more info. From what we can see he did a factory reset and uncheck the enable superuser box in SuperSU, whereas I did not do either of those things. The Update DOES NOT wipe the phone if you do it via OTA, I believe it might if you install it via the KDZ.

Yes and if you have su pro you can also try survival mode and if you want to take ota you cannot have custom recovery

I tried the kk update via ota on my rogers LG g2 yesterday. I'm rooted and have twrp installed. In super user I checked temp unroot and ota survival and then problems started. I got stuck at twrp. Powering off and on, rebooting I always ended up at twrp. I used the terminal line and followed from some other post and got my phone back up. Now not sure how to proceed to install the update. So sticking to 4.2.2 for now. Anyone have any clues or should I do a stock recovery or would hard factory reset help?

Bell D803 Root, FOTA, Fun
Just the other day, I decided to root my LG G2 (Bell D803), and found a TWRP Recovery that installed properly (was warned in several locations NOT to use a D802 recovery or ROMs!). Got myself rooted using ioroot (lovely tool), nice new recovery, then found no ROMs really ready for use on the D803 (although I hear some folks have been able to get D802 ROMs working with effort). Barely had time to start exploring my further options when the FOTA update appeared. Not thinking, I grabbed it immediately!
And then the phone went into a boot loop -- Recovery was my only option. Tried looking around within Recovery for any sign of the FOTA update files but later found it goes to a partition. Apparently wiping this partition brings the phone back to a usable state.
adb shell
dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota of=/sdcard/fota-backup.img
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota
Once back in usable mode (still with root at this point, but no shiny new KitKat), I did some digging to try figure out how to get rid of my new Recovery so I can get the update. The shortest possible path I found: the LG Mobile Support Tool. I ran it, it said there was an update. Downloaded the update and all was good -- aside for remnants of root being left over (just needed to uninstall Superuser app; wasn't working at this point anyway).
So for now, I'm rootless but fully updated.

Thanks mate. I was stuck in a boot loop as well, but getting rid of the partitions you mentioned revived my phone without the need to reflash to stock.

Yes. Just doing the update it offered restored my Recovery back to stock and upgraded stock ROM. No wipe necessary and only thing lost was root. There was a brief warning that updates are not available on rooted setups, but I haven't seen that again after the initial boot. I suspect removing Superuser solved this but I'll keep you posted.

Downloaded the 1.5gig file and install took about an hour. Rebooted, checked out the software version and it was 4.4.2
Maybe once root can be acquired I'll root it again simply to get rid of the bloatware.

Downloaded the 1.5gig file and install took about an hour. Rebooted, checked out the software version and it was 4.4.2
Maybe once root can be acquired I'll root it again simply to get rid of the bloatware.

Use the LG Mobile Support tool, change country to Canada. It Will tell you there is an update for your phone. It will analyze your phone and proceed with the download. Just sit back and let it do it's thing. It will update your phone and remove root and custom recovery if you have one installed. Hope this helps

Got home ran the software update and it worked like a charm! I appreciate the tip! Oh and it only took about 15 mins!

Must have a fast connection. I had to do it through my friends WiFi on his phone. Glad it worked no glitches for you ?

Looks like there's a way to get root now on the D803.

I'm on 4.2.2 with TWRP right now but just about to update OTA. I'll give this a try once on 4.4.2 and post my results.
