I have updated OA3 have had it for a couple days and OTA update came on day one as I ovoid ed it. Although chainfire's cf auto root was confirmed with jRummy ' root check. But it seems that nothing is broken. Good luck

I had the same issue after mucking around getting the zip to flash in TWRP. I took out the system checks to make it work, only to find out it partially flashed and broke my wifi. The fix for me was flashing the stock recovery and reflashing the OTA from cache.
edit:
It does remove root as they tend to do, but cf autoroot for the ng5 works just fine

Do you have a location for the update zip?
I am having the same exact issues but my phone is not taking a flash. I am going to try a few different computers today and verify.

After installing the stock recovery and booting to it, if you haven't cleared your cache, there is an option to "flash update from cache". For anyone else reading, this is for the L720t S4 https://www.dropbox.com/s/4hr1r0gsi2w0kpm/update.zip?dl=0 if for whatever reason you'd rather not download it from me you can find it here: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SPH-L720T/

[Q] JB OTA update won't work! Help!

Checked for the new JB update, downloaded it. I went to install it and it got about a third of the way there, failed, rebooted and I am still on 4.0.4
Then it gives me a notification saying the update failed to which I can only press OK.
I've tried to update three times now and it does the same thing.
My phone is rooted, but I don't think that should cause problems
At a loss here...

Hi, I've downloaded the OTA update from Verizon for my Razr M three times this morning because each install shows "The Software Update Failed". It'd be just peachy if they didn't make me download all 250 MB each time I tried. Sheesh.
Aside from that, it's still not updating. This phone is rooted, but has never had a custom ROM put on it.
Hmmm...now that I think about it, I do have a bunch of apps disabled, including some Verizon apps, etc. I'll try enabling them and trying this all again.
Hmmm...didn't work. Still getting the failed error message. Going to back everything up and do a Factory Reset.

I am currently having the same issue in attempting to download/install the latest VZ update. I've done a factory reset and tried voodoo rootkeeper to temp unroot the phone to no avail. The only modifications I had made before the reset were deleting some of the bloatware manually with root explorer- those apps were subsequently restored from the reset.
Any idea how I can update the phone? Given that there is currently no way to install a custom ROM currently and can only delete bloatware, I'm thinking rooting this phone doesn't really help much if we are then not able to update it

I've restored the phone to stock ICS via the Fastboot method. This allowed me to automatically update to Official Jellybean.

I upgraded to JB via OTA from Verizon, you will not lose anything if you upgrade that way, nor will you have to setup anything again. If you flash it through RSD lite than you probably will lose everything plus have to go thru the setup process again. Hope this helps. Make sure you uninstall safe strap recovery and if you're rooted make sure you backup and save root via the voodoo app, before accepting the OTA. I found out the hard way. If you don't uninstall the safe strap recovery the OTA will fail every time.
Being rooted does not have anything to do with the OTA failing. Its safe strap if you are using that.

[Q][Root/cwm lost?]

Hi guys,
Recently I updated my i9505 to official 4.3 version XXUEMJ7...then i rooted it successfully, flashed philz cwm, it worked...i did a backup, then flashed a mod (lightning effect on lockscreen), turned on the phone. Suddenly my wifi won't work so I decided to do a restore from the backup that i made 10 minutes before that. While it was restoring i noticed that i didnt had enough storage so it skipped few things. When it was successfully restored, I turned my phone on and here are the problems:
When it has booted up i recieved so many errors and fc's like procedure system has stopped, com.google.process.gapps error and so on...
I taught ok, lets delete some HD games to gain space and restore it again. But now there was no cwm or any recovery. I can't use Google Play and every app that uses Google files (youtube, gmail, stock internet browser and even facebook)
I'm not sure if I lost root and/or cwm. My question is how to get it back? What do i need to flash over Odin? Download mode works.

Hello.
I have same problem. Nothing works. I think it's a protected bootloader that will rewrite every custom rom/recovery. I had rom for ~20 days, and was just doing my daily routine, rebooted and lost root and CWM. After this same symptoms occured.
I downloaded XXUEMJ7 prerooted now, and it was only rom that I could flash. Have no custom recovery by now and root works... But probably not for long. What's most important - wifi works. This is partial solution for using your phone while someone smarter will explain us what's going on.

Thank you. I'll try that.
EDIT: can you give me a link, and you flashed it via Odin?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2250824
In this thread, use "ctrl+f" and write "PDA: XXUEMJ7" There will be prerooted odin flashable link.
By the way, flashing this new knox bootloader with 4.3 was worst thing that I done do my phone. And I'm really pissed off on samsung. Hope some smart devs will solve this someday and we will be able to downgrade or bypass this.
Well, I still get those errors all the time... :crying:
I taught this would remove them, but unfotunately didn't..

The update isn't working for me, even after reflashing the stock recovery. Did you have to do anything special to get it to work, or have you not modified the ROM at all?

I had the stock 4.4.3 ROM rooted and with the Xposed Framework installed. No custom recovery or custom kernel ever installed (I always used "fastboot boot /path/to/recovery.img" rather than installing a recovery). The update worked fine for me. All I had to do was (after updating to 4.4.4) go into the Xposed framework installer, tell it to update/install the framework. I installed the 4.4.4 update through the OTA notification I received, not through the link in this thread. For me, the update was 41.1MB not 45MB. I downloaded the OTA over WiFi.
Before I installed the update, I booted ClockworkMod Recovery (again, booted not flashed) and made a nandroid backup. It couldn't backup my /data partition because it's encrypted, so I also made a full backup with Titanium Backup.
Full stock, no mods yet

I had same problem
I was on 4.3.3 stock using exposed installer, I used MotoToolAioV3 to restore stock recovery then took OTA, during install I kept getting an error.
The solution for me was to download stock recovery from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53702274&postcount=268
extract the recovery then use MotoToolAioV3 to flash it, then accept the OTA and it should work, then if you're using exposed installer do what the other poster said and re-install xposed. Hope this helps.

As I understand it, the main changes from 4.4.3 are compatibility with more SD cards, and some security updates to things like OpenSSL. I'm now able to use my 64GB Samsung EVO class 10 (MB-MP64DA/AM).
I managed to get the update installed after completely reflashing to stock (leaving the bootloader unlocked.)

The dialer is not buggy if you enable the animations in developer options (reset them to their default setting).

Thanks dude
I turned it off because I hate it
New update is pretty great. Previously on 4.4.3 the radio would drop all connections seemingly at random when starting up a music app or YouTube, but after upgrading to 4.4.4 the radio seems to hold a much more consistent connection with fewer drops (none so far) . I previously thought this might have been a faulty SIM

New marshmllow bug fix update

Just got a little update
How to install this patch update on rooted phone? Is it possible to make a stock recovery and unroot without losing any of data?

I did try to install it, the file downloaded and phone rebooted... then Prince's recovery screen loaded up, forgot I rooted the phone the other day using his excellent "Lenovo K3 Note Manager" tool
I might unroot my phone another day and try to install it again. The only thing bugging me about the marshmallow update is a problem I'm having with bluetooth streaming, songs aren't resuming when I disconnect/reconnect they restart. I doubt this update will fix it anyway, from what I've read it might have to wait until 6.0.1 is released..

Did you unroot your phone using a fabulous Lenovo K3 Note Manager 3.0? What about replacing TWRP with stock recovery? Does Note manager replace it automaticaly?
Thanks a lot, A.

I used version 3 to root the phone, but I haven't tried unrooting it yet.
After update the wifi is very stable and i am getting the full bandwidth that my ISP provide.
Any way this update can be packaged as an update.zip ??
My phone is rooted and on TWRP (s422 clean rom)... I would rather not unroot, and redo the stock recovery, just for this update, but I am getting data connection drops after power cycling.

Use this Slick S424 ROM: http://www.needrom.com/download/slick-s424-row/
Make a complete backup via TWRP and follow the instructions below, than restore only data partitions you made before. Works like a charm
Thanks... Did that (not seamlessly) and its currently just updating my apps..

After updating, I found some issues. One of them is Ebay client - does not work anymore :crying:
Isn't there a way to replace the updater script from the original lenovo 4mb 424 update with a modified one so it works with TWRP?
But how sir give me updater scripts
I just flashed the s424 TWRP backup over my S422.. worked fine.. Kept root and TWRP.

So was your phone rooted?
Did you lose the root access after updating or was it still there? AFAIK this update shouldn't do anything to root, but you can never tell

I was on stock Indian ROM and not rooted.

So 6.0 is official....can I just update without reverting to stock?

Hi all,
I got the update message(I'm on the RU firmware) but I'm also rooted and twrpd so my question is the following...Will the update process complete without me reverting to stock or will I have to before I go to 6.0?
Cheers
I don't recive the notification but I also wonder
I didn't have the patience to let the OTA download at a crawl while the servers are getting hammered, so I don't know, but I'm guessing it would fail. What I did do was download the full update from the MM thread, and "Install" it with TWRP (wiped cache etc after install). I haven't re-rooted yet, but it's running fine.

No, I used the button TWRP shows after install to wipe cache, but I kept my data. It's working fine for me so far but I can't promise it's not better to wipe it.

Just check to see if they fixed the download speed problem and it looks like they've pulled the update out!
My download of the update cut out and now I can't see it either.
I stay with the Android 5 for the momment, the differences is worth it?
Well I did what hippy dave did and it seems to be working.
Something I wish could be customized is the bottom buttons on the EPD. The home button on the black theme is way too big :/
Done same as Dave, also installed superus and xposed, all fine =) other doubt I have, sometimes the back screen seens harder to unblock, anyone know why it happens or how to fix it? It have anything to do with the light in the place I am?

From my fresh experience: install full version from torrent (http://4pda.ru/forum/dl/post/9988519/yotaphone2-user-full-RU1.1.47.zip.torrent) through TWRP, wipe cache, install SuperSU. And after that steps - reboot. All datas and apps on it's places.
