Sorry, I don't have that right now.

Thanks anyway. It'd be awesome if someone who has it posted. Anyone?

Yep, the update just popped up. How do you capture it by the way? What's the path?

There are three folders under cache, backup, lost+found and recovery, none of them contain the update.

You already installed it? Once you install it, the file is erased - forever. All OTAs are this way. You MUST extract it before you install it.
Confirm: Did you install it or not? Also, if not - has it downloaded completely?
EDIT: I'll take your lack of response as you confirming that you did install it...

I am downloading ota update my phone is rooted so should i unroot it first and remove xposed framework.. reply??

Yes, un-root, and remove all traces of having rooted. That includes any changes done to your System Files which Xposed might have done. You will have to flash the stock recovery too.

No, my lack of response was because of the reading I was doing here on XDA as why I wasn't seeing the OTA zip file under cache. Then I realized that I did not download the OTA, I thought that it was downloaded already as I had data on and it was just asking me to whether it should install or not.
Now I downloaded the OTA, and it's there under cache folder, and now at a safe place on my desktop.
I would never install it on my phone without flashing back stock ROM again anyway. I like to do things fresh.

Thanks. It's always nice to have the latest of Android. The new dialer is meaningless for me, again, it just changed it's viewing type, nothing else has been changed! Need to install ExDialer as usual. Will see if there's really something done with the camera, can't take any meaningful photos at 3:30 in the morning :laugh:
Just one thing, as I have taken the OTA after a fresh install of stock ROM, now I don't need to format it again from recovery right?

There is already a thread for the 4.4.4 rollout here, please use it instead of having two similar discussions going on in 2 separate threads. Thanks

How to remove CWM please?

Hi
I'm going to update my a500 to 3.1
I have unrootedmy device but how to remove CWM completly????
Please help
Why don't just update via CWM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1154492
1) re root your device
2) go into acer recovery installer and reflash to the backed up recovery (or do the stock recovery for your version)
3) de root.
I had to do this to get my update to work.
Do you know where can I find stock recovery for my version?
I have Acer_A500_1.139.05_COM_GEN1
thank you!

When i installed ARI, it backed up my current recovery. When i went back into ARI, my old recovery was the first option. Sorry, explanation sucks, i don't have screenshots for you. I know there are threads with most of the software/firmware elements of most of the different versions, maybe do some digging? This would be the best place to start: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1126364
Look in system/etc for a filed called install-recovery.sh. if its there change its permission from 444 to 544. Then reboot normally. It'll overwrite cwm with your stock recovery.

Hi Euclid, are you able to post a copy of that install-recovery.sh file? I don't seem to have it in my system/bin anymore
...That is assuming the file is not unique to each device??
I'm thinking the reason my OTA update wouldnt install is because i dont have the stock recovery menu.
Thanks!
I really don't get why everyone is spazzing over this... If you've already taken the steps to root and install CWM in the first place, why not just install the stock 3.1 image that's been provided in the dev section? It's 100% stock, no need to wait for Acer to stop twiddling their dangly bits...
Floatingfatman, that is exactly what I did, and it worked perfectly. Good advise!

Yeah thats what i ended up doing to update it to 3.1.
Reason i want it back to stock is that i couldnt update via OTA at all (downloads fine but install fails at ~20% with the ! in a red triangle).
I was hoping by restoring it to stock the OTA would work, and so any future updates could also be done via OTA as opposed to finding a workaround each time.
Other than that, it's working just fine for now.

I don't understand 'change permission from 444 to 544'. Root Manager lets me choose between, 'Read, Write or Execute'. Could you please elaborate?

Yep, that's all I had to say, but if I posted in any of the ICS threads it would be buried. Dlpkgfile available HERE NOW!

Cheers luna ... just need a WW version
Noob question though ..... I am on a custom ROM. I have CWM recovery.
I thought I couldnt update OTA if my TF was rooted ? or is it that I have the custom recovery that prevents this ?
I can flash back to stock easily - its removing CWM and unrooting that looked to be the more techie issue.
With what you are saying is there an easy way, once I have reverted to stock ROM, to revert to stock recovery without losing root ? Or do i even need to revert to stock ROM ??
Can update if rooted, but need to be on a stock ROM and stock Recovery image in order to successfully install. Download the 8.2.3.5 US recovery file located here :http://theunlockr.com/2011/11/28/how-to-unroot-and-remove-cwm-recovery-on-asus-transformer/, flash it through CWM and you have now overwritten your CWM and gone back to stock. Ready to update from there. Cheers!
so what is the procedure to update? Rename it, put it in microsd root and reboot into recovery?
another question, i cannot root with nachoroot, so is it possible to root with 1-click root?

That might work, I don't know exactly because I got the FOTA pushed to my device and updated through the 'official' update process. I honestly have no idea how the dlpkgfile is even packaged, if it is CWM flashable or requires stock recovery etc., honestly my first time fooling with capturing the OTA files.
Ok I'm trying and I will tell u....
I don't care about root right now...

Do I understand correctly that I only have to do Step 7 of the tutorial? and then install ICS (regular update process)?
I am rooted and I have CWM (no custom ROM)
So first impressions luna? Might as well start a discussion to keep the post on top and visible.
Did you run Spark? If so how does it compare?
Positives negatvies
Yes I do realise that you have had it for like 12 seconds but first impressions are nice.

Unfortunately I never did get around to trying the latest Spark, I saw the complaints about touchscreen issues and decided it might be best to wait for Paul to work it out, but Asus finally got the upper hand on him!
Seems a treat, but I expected as you can see I've been running CM9 on my epic for about 3 weeks now. Much snappier, generic comments that have already been posted- but not explored completely yet, too busy helping others get their own ICS since the update came in to be selfish and sign off yet
Steven, I'm not sure which step 7 you are referring to but you will need a stock recovery in order to flash the file. CWM will flash files that have been repacked for CWM usually, and OTA updates install from the cache partition so CWM will not be able to install the OTA. CWM can flash it manually, I THINK (not sure if it needs to be repackaged for that to occur or not), but CWM will not install the OTA through the normal OTA process.

I was refering to step 7 on the Unlocker page you pointed to:
http://theunlockr.com/2011/11/28/how-to-unroot-and-remove-cwm-recovery-on-asus-transformer/
So in short only replace the recovery as explained in pojnt 7 (and 8) of that page and then do a regular system update to ICS.
No need to unroot??
Will this keep my apps and settings? I do have Titanium so I can do a backup and restore that way.
Thanks a lot for helping!!

Yes, your apps and data should remain intact, and that is correct, you only need to flash the recovery back to stock if you are already on a stock ROM. As of right now, only US and TW firmware versions are getting the OTA pushed to their device, but if you are not one of these you can manually flash to these stock ROMs via CWM if need be. But yes, if you are stock + root + CWM, you only need to flash over CWM back to stock. Root is fine to keep and all data will be saved (it is an official update, people would be irate if it wiped their data you know!)
Great stuff thanks again. I'n in Europe so I might need to wait for a bit but that is fine.
No problem. Ok guys, I've done a bunch of talking and answered quite a few PMs, and posted all my methods/experience with ICS so far, now, I'm going to go play for a while (it's 7am, and I've not been to bed, and I have to work at 4pm and my son will likely be up in an hour, so no sleep for me today, should have a well-rounded review by the time you see me again)
If you guys want to keep this thread alive, have at it! Turn it into a discussion.. See you guys in a while, can't wait to see what I miss while I'm gone
Well I did the update with root disabled with rootkeeper but now rootkeeper will not restore Root.
I guess I should of read thi before updating
Anyone in the same state?

If you are SBK1 device you can flash CWM via NVFlash, use CWM to flash SU binary from ChainsDD (located HERE ) and then flash the stock recovery if you so choose to return to stock recovery (in case any patches or incremental updates come out you may need this if you want to stay stock ICS).
ONE MORE THING BEFORE I GO GUYS;
I just noticed that ICS brings a new recovery as well, so the update will overwrite your recovery, I assume it will do this if you figure out how to flash via CWM so be prepared for that. Any devs will want to work on removing the recovery blob from the patch file before releasing as a CWM flashable zip. My 2 cents. See you guys in a few hours/days, depending on how addicted I get to ICS.
Your dlpkgfile didn't work.. i need the WW version
Anyway I've rooted with nachoroot with stock asus recovery, waiting for ics update via FOTA

problem to update to 4.3 with TWRP installed

Hi guys. I have a small question and maybe a problem. I have Nexus 4 rooted with unlocked boot loader, and TWRP installed on it. And as I think with stock rom, because only done everything to root, but nothing else.
Now I have a problem: phone offering to update to 4.3. I press update. It updating and restarting, but after restart it loads TWRP. And what should I do next to finish update? Because I don't know how to make it finish updating with TWRP? What should I do with TWRP to do so? I will be very thankful for any help. Because twice was making update, but still on 4.2.2.
You need to flash the stock recovery because you can't update via OTA with a custom recovery.
You can actually OTA with TWRP.. The device should load into TWRP and complete the update. After the update you will lose TWRP and root

This is incorrect. The best way to update is download the ota zip from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2145848
Go to twrp recovery flash the ota zip then SU zip v1.51 reboot done. Now you got 4.3 with root and you won't lose your recovery

When you get the notification saying there is a update on your phone you select it and it downloads flashes the ota zip. What I said is the same thing except you download it and flash it your self and by doing it this way you can flash the SU zip at the same time and not lose root or recovery.

[XT1032] OTA 5.0.2 EURetail.en captured

Got the OTA for Lolllipop 5.0.2 today. Copied it from /cache/ before I started the update. Update info stated it would take around 15 minutes to complete, but in my case it took closer to 25 minutes. It stayed for a couple of minutes on the bootloader logo ("warning bootloader unlocked"), so don't freak out and just let it finish. I was on Kitkat stock, rooted and using Xposed. I uninstalled Xposed framework before applying the OTA.

The most common reasons for the error response are:
1. Not currently running EU 4.4.4 stock.
2. Rooted.
3. Custom recovery.

Fingerprint errors are usually caused by not using the stock recovery. You need the recovery that's part of the stock ROM.

[HELP] Going to Flash firmware

Hey Guys, Recently i installed viper4arise on my Huawei P8 Lite 2017 using TWRP and theres an error, Music is OKAY except phones default sounds. Like Notification Sounds,Ringtones, Etc.
So i think the best solution is to have a fresh ROM again,
Wondering if i was able to install a new ROM without affecting it. Because my system for now was not fresh (ROOTED,BUSYBOX)
To make it clear. (Sorry for my english)
I am worried if the ROM that i was going to install will be effected of my current ROM? Because its Rooted, Busybox installed, And have a SOUND issue.
Thanks in advance ?

Hey Guys, Recently i installed viper4arise on my Huawei P8 Lite 2017 using TWRP and theres an error, Music is OKAY except phones default sounds. Like Notification Sounds,Ringtones, Etc.
So i think the best solution is to have a fresh ROM again,

okay sir I'll try it
One can never predict this to 100%. With a user it works. With other not.
I have from the Debranding no knowledge.

Sad to say but it won't work. I think its not the audio file. its from the Viper4arise drivers thats not compatible for me. Sad to say Viper4Arise dont have a flashable uninstaller.

my current phone is rooted, busybox installed. do i need to uninstall those first. before flashing stock ROM?
the viper4arise drivers was installed on system/lib folder.
can i copy the lib folder from my stock rom?
You must uninstall nothing. Updates ignore this.
Only the stock recovery is necessary.
Try first a factoryreset from stock recovery.

do you think sir. flashing using system upgrades can fix this issue? or the viper drivers will deleted. or Its just stick on my system ?
I think the drivers are not the reason, but not complete firmware. Making the update.

do you think i was able to install full firmware via system upgrade again? my current build number was B123 and the firmware that is only available on PRA LX2 was B123.
I was able to flash B123 before, when my build number was B160
This becomes nothing. You can get full firmware only as OTA update/ upgrade. Differently it goes only like in mine rootthread is described.
