[Q] [4.1.2] OTA

Hi guys, so i recieved the OTA a few hours back and it required me to have more battery life in order to continue with it.
I was charging it and realised that it would allow to me to continue as long as it was charging, so i continued with the operation.
It rebooted my nexus (everything stock, rooted using mskips all in one root) and then required a confirmation to continue. in my excitement i pressed power instead of vloume down (in order to scroll down to yes). i thought that i should just rather reboot my nexus and start the whole process again, but now it doesnt show that there is a update available, system update says my system is uptodate but i am still running 4.1.1
does anyone know how long it will take for OTA to come through again? or how i can "induce" it?

I would just flash the update manually. Check out links to download from Google site.

yeah i guess, i was gonna do so anyway by monday if i hadnt gotten the OTA by then XD still would prefer OTA though....

1,8 MB OTA update again?

Since I didn't see any news about this, I think that it's an error on my phone. I just got another OTA update with a size of 1,8 MB.
I already installed the tiny update 1-2 weeks ago, but in the end the updating progress said "Failed". However, after a reboot, it didn't offer any updates again, so I thought it would be good - now what's up with this update? Is my phone trying to install the update again?
I'm using stock recovery and image on a rooted Nexus 4.

[Q] Nexus 7 2013 Lollipop update, downloaded but no update.

Hi All,
On Tuesday i downloaded the OTA after getting the notification. The download completed but update paused because of low power. I plugged the Nexus into the mains and went to bed. In the morning i found that the 7 had not updated........any idea? My Nexus 5 updated no problem and i LIKE it.....A LOT!
John.

Are you rooted?

Same thing happened to my daughters 7. Update downloaded plugged in to let it charge up, came back and the update was gone, and tablet shows no system updates are available.

Similar happened to me. I got notification about update available. I downloaded the update successfully, confirmed to reboot and install the update but nothing happened after reboot. Update not installed. When I check for update now it shows that it's up to date... I'm running on completely stock ROMs only since beginning, installing OTA updates only as they come...

100% stock unrooted and unmodified (SO's tablet), downloaded and rebooted and no L - boo

- Clearing the device cache might help. The OTA is usually stored there so that would delete any partial or full downloads, and might restart the whole process.
- You could always sideload the OTA from your computer. The option is in the stock recovery mentioned in the link above. Just Google how. And you don't need to be rooted for that.
- You might consider waiting for the next update. A lot of users are complaining about performance of 5.0, especially on 2012 model. Personally mine runs great. First couple of days had a bit of lag but now it's as smooth as it was on 4.4.4

Rooted Nexus 4 Lollipop Update
Hi All,
My nexus 4 is rooted & i just got the lollipop update. However, during installation of the same, i got a question, Fix Root, with a red color exclamation sign on android robot. As i didnt know what was going on, I selected no. It rebooted my phone & I am still on 4.4.4 Now there is no OTA available. I have tried clearing cache memory, still its showing, System is up date. Please help as i dont mind loosing my root privileges over lollipop update.

Completely stock ONN 8 won't download an OTA.

I have completely stock ONN 8 that I've had since launch. It has never received an OTA, and in the past trying to update it with the OTA updates in another thread never worked. For the first time today, the tablet had a notification that there was an OTA update available. The notification says the update has been paused and click resume to continue. When I click "resume" nothing happens and it goes back to paused a few seconds later. I tried factory resetting the tablet and using several different networks, and it will not download the OTA. Any ideas?

Same behavior for months. Spent time trying to resolve and came to the conclusion the back end mechanism to notify and initiate OTA's is on a different platform (server, url, whatever) than the delivery mechanism. The latter appears to be non-responsive; no one is watching the hen house.

Thanks. My suspicion was that it was server related.

There's like a new update ONA19TB002_20200416.
EDIT Even downloaded and installed. Kind of regret using that Mediatek tool to install 2019111 from the stock/image/ota thread as ever since then the wifi's mac address keeps changing on each boot or wifi is turned off/on.

Interesting. Maybe someone will grab the OTA fie and upload it. Unfortunately, it probably won't do me much good, as my tablet doesn't have the November update installed.

I would avoid the update if you can - I came home last night to find mine updated and the screen was mirrored (everything is backwards, including text). A forced reboot didn't do anything. It's basically like looking at it through a mirror as everything is backwards. The odd part is, the touch locations are still in their original locations. So if on the screen, an app is now on the left side (again, backwards), I have to touch the right side of the screen to use it (with the same behavior inside the app - controls all backwards). The update basically made my tablet useless. 100% stock.

My update is still "paused". At this point I don't really care. This tablet is so slow it is virtually useless. I doubt an update is gonna make it any better anyways.

My FOTA doesn't even give any updates, just that it's "fully updated." I wonder if I got a test model, as it also came with a multitouch test, had a chinese "factory mode", and had a strange MTK debug mode when I tapped custom build mode.

My unit had an FOTA to the May 2019 but no more updates while on that firmware. The Nov FOTA from the Stock Backups thread wouldn't take and I had to flash the full stock image. It gave me the April 2020 when they released one.

New Update
I know this thread is old, but I received a new update today. It has the July security patch, and the kernel is dated 8/14/2020. It's the first update that actually installed since I got this tablet at launch last year.

Does anybody know how to overcome the problem of getting the latest OTA. I get an error after reboot and trying to flash it, here is the log:
script aborted: unable to use metadata to correct errors
/dev/block/platform/mtk-msdc.0/11230000.MSDC0/by-name/system image corrupted, attempting to recover...
script aborted: unable to use metadata to correct errors

E:Error in /sdcard/Android/data/com.adups.fota/files/adupsfota/update.zip (Status 7)
W:failed to read uncrypt status: No such file or directory
25.10 solved the problem by reflashing the stock image from may 2019

Android 11 official fw for G977B BTU UK, includes Google Drive mirror

I set a watch on this page to get notified when the Android 11 update appeared, as of a few days ago it's available here - but they weren't kidding about free download being slow, it took me about 5 hours, so I've uploaded the untouched zip to Google Drive in case anyone wants to download it a bit quicker. (I remembered after the fact that I got a tool for downloading from Samsung's servers, then forgot about it)
If you unlocked your phone and rooted with Magisk, don't forget to patch the AP image with the Magisk Manager app first before you flash it (scroll down to "Additional Notes" here about updating, hopefully this is the same guide you used in the first place). If you're still fully stock then you don't need to worry about that, but maybe you can just update officially from your phone. I did the Magisk thing and flashed it with Odin, all went really smoothly, haven't had any errors or glitches and all my stuff is still there.

FWIW this is no longer the latest, there have been two more updates since - the latest ends in BD and is One UI 3.1.
I had a few spontaneous reboots while running the first Android 11 release (the one from the above post), am waiting to see if this newer version avoids them.
