I've tried to search for this issue in the forum but it seems that nobody ever encountered it.
I'm running the rooted stock ROM 5.1.1 on a Nexus 4 (LMY47V) that I've updated since the initial version using always OTA downloads. My provider is T-Mobile USA.
Recently, I keep receiving a notification for a system update that looks a bit weird to me.
The update should be from 5.0.1 (LRX22C) to 5.1.0 (LMY47O), but I'm wondering why I would get it if I'm already running a newer version.
The full path of the download file [1] has a hash that doesn't match any of the original images, but I don't know if this is necessarily a bad thing (since it's just an update and not a complete install).
Initially I tried to update because I didn't know it was the wrong update, but (lucklily?) it didn't succeed so I investigated a bit. I had a few issues in the past with other OTA's failing because the system was rooted, but I managed to decompress and manually install the single components. Although, I don't think I want to do it in this case, because of the version mismatch.
Does anybody has a clue about what's going on?
Also, since I suspect that this update is useless, is there a way to silence or delete this update without installing it?
Thanks in advance.

Hello all!
I just got the push for the 4.4 upgrade on my phone but I wanted clear a few things up before I commit. I'm currently on a rooted 4.3 with a modded radio for LTE. Is it safe to just run the OTA update from my phone? Or is there another proper way to prevent bricking? How should I go about this?
Thanks guys!
There are a lot of variables such as programs and versions installed, but I tried the OTA under similar conditions as you (In my case I was rooted, hybrid 27/84 radio, unlocked bootloader, TWRP, Koush's superuser, and otherwise stock 4.3) and it just didn't work. I even reverted back to the old radio before I tried it, but it might be the modified build prop or LTE activation that caused the problem. The OTA did not brick my phone or cause any other problems, it just didn't change anything on my 4.3 install. I could see while the update was running that it failed right after examining my existing install, so it didn't like something with my existing system config. I then did the following from the advice on this forum and my upgrade to 4.4 went flawlessly (Post #13):

I just flashed the entire image of the os on top and didn't lose data. On twtp, LTE back, unlock boot loader from 4.3.

while i cannot say what is new (not having an 1050L tab) i did downloaded and checked inside
this is what he does:
1. writes on ESP a new x64 bootloader
2. writes a new boot image
3. writes a new fastboot image
4. updates the bios with a new capsule (and by the size it writes over all the bios region)
5. writes a completely new system image (however it does it by using the patching way, even more using the block-update)
all in all excepting your data partition (where you have your personal data/preferences and the apps you personally installed) it will do a fresh new install of everything
problems one could have:
1. obviously if you had an unlocked bootloader you will need to flash back again
2. if the bios updates also the security part it's possible that you will no longer be able to use the unlocked bootloader
3. the new system is wrote by block patch (they could have wrote by flashing method) and this means you can have problems if you modified it (ie mounted at some point and changes something on it) by rooting or something else
on the bright side now someone could build a 'stock' rom for this model using this ota (so you can flash lollipop stock rom from lenovo and even a recent one by means now known)
So is it still 5.0 and not 5.1? Seems excessive for a bug fix build.
10x, i have stock not rooted not modified.
its 99%, i will write today if android version will be changed.
its 02:22 am on my clock and i must sleep tomorrow i will check what will be changed.

some props extracted from the build.properties in the new system image
ro.build.version.incremental=YT2-1050L_USR_S100192_1511191319_WW52_ROW
ro.build.version.release=5.0.1
ro.build.version.security_patch=2015-12-01
ro.product.ota.model=YOGATablet2-1050L
ro.product.name=YT2_10_row_lte
so no, it's still 5.0
it's big but it's also lenovo , joke aside this way it's better than incremental patches and it also gives you basically a stock rom (well first someone should compile it)
Ahh right, just stagefright patches then no doubt.
Yeap, its still 5.0.1
We recommend not to upgrade if you want to change?
i didnt find something changed. but i think the overall performance is increased and it better gets wifi signal...
They fixed also the new user problem
Now u can add new user or switch to the guest mode
Is there anyone noticed anything else?
Is the bios now is x64?
Has anyone received an update for the 1050F model?
firmware update 1050L not possible
Every time I try to install this update, which comes up every day, I get the message that my SD-Card is making problems.
But even if I officially unlink the SD-Card and take it off, the error message stays the same and I can't update.
How can I solve this problem?
Does anyone knows where can I download this firmware? YT2-1050L_USR_S100192_1511191319_WW52_ROW
Hi all,
I was running my stock 5.1.1 (LPD23.118-6.1) rom rooted for a long time and wasn't able to receive OTA updates due to the obvious reason about rooting and etc. My recovery wasn't changed. So, I saw the thread about that "flashable zips" about 6.0 roms and decided to test it. Due to some crashes and forced closes, I decided to back to my previous backup of rooted 5.1.1 stock rom. But now I want to have my phone stock as hell, and the first thing that I do was flash the most updated firmware that I found in here that was available to download. I flashed the whole LPD23.118-6.3 stock rom, a little bit newer than my old stock rooted rom. Everything working, everything fine, except...
In bootloader it says "Software status: modified", and when I try to manually check about updates, it says that my software is up to date, which I know isn't true, because OTA update of Android 6.0 is already available (i have a friend who got an X Play and he already received the ota).
How can I solve this?

The force closes you got are completely normal and if you read the thread you will have found out you just need to reboot your phone until they go away.
The status modified just means your bootloader was unlocked and doesn't matter.
You have a few options, keep trying for OTA, flash another version and keep trying for OTA, sideload one of the available OTA zip files, or try a TWRP backup.

Thanks for your reply. Actually i'm downloading the recently posted 6.0 firmware for the Brazilian/Latin American rom in firmware's thread. Unfortunately the download is very slow, but I guess I can surely update without losing anything. The only strange thing is that I didn't received any OTAs....

It's not necessary that if your friend has received the OTA then even you will receive it within few days. The OTA is rolled batch wise and no one knows which phone is in which batch except Moto of course. [emoji4]

I know when flashing, firmware updates can be 1Gb - 2Gb file sizes. When you take that same update OTA, do they send down the entire firmware file, or just the sections that need updating? This 910V is the first phone I have never rooted, and have never taken an OTA update. When I bought it, it was on 5.0. I downloaded the CQC1 firmware and installed it updating it to 6.0, via Odin. It tried to update itself immediately after I rebooted. I disabled the updater until I did some homework, as the thing was relentless about updating and driving me crazy. I see now there is CQD1, CQE1, and CQF2 available. My problem is, I have a crap internet connection (1.5Mb) and am wondering if it has to download that hug file anyway OTA, if I wouldnt be better downloading it myself and installing it via Odin.... rather than an OTA update that gives me no info on progress etc....?
So:
1) OTA or download and install it/them myself
2) If installing myself, Where is the best place to download the huge file, without having to sign up or be throttled?
3) Is there anything in these newer updates that warrant updating, or any problems that arise from them? Or is it wise to just stay on CQC1 which is working without a hitch?
Thanks for any help.
Hey all,
I am very much willing to wipe my phone to do a downgrade.
I have the OP8 Pro, unrooted (never rooted/never unlocked bootloader).
The scenario I see is - I downgrade my phone to 10.15.13 (I have the INAA modell). I'm sure at some point the phone will check for an OTA.
My question - Is it all possible for the phone to upgrade itself if it restarts?
Meaning, is there a time limit that the update is sitting in the queue waiting for the user to press reboot to install? Or can I just somehow figure out a way to silence the system notification of an update pending?
Not sure if that makes sense but my hope is to just go back to 10 and enjoy certain things that just worked out better for me unrooted vs 11 unrooted until some things are ironed out.
Thanks for your time.
No you would need to initialise the upgrade, unless you have automatic updates on.
You would have seen the initial installation begin.
Least that's my experience of it. The update is stored on the phone so you may also be able to delete it.
Turn off automatically download updates.
I downgraded using the special firmware I found (couldn't find official to do it ) and then installed the official EU/UK firmware straight after with no problem

Nice - noted. I think I can start my search as well. Looking to do this tonight.
