Stock won't allow update.

So I got an update available notification but couldn't due lack of memory. A day or so later I got around to removing apps. Tried the update and got this.
"Your device had been modified. Software updates are not available."
I'm on stock 4.2.2 and never been near any root or unlock process with this phone.
When I cold boot I get the little android lying down with the red triangle and under it says "no command"
Any ideas?

Hi,
Look Here
You may need the Triangle Away app, depending on what customisation you have done.

But it's 100% stock and has never been modified other than different launchers from the Play store.

Do a data factory and if that doesn`t help reflash the rom with Odin. Look in downloadmode if everything is OFFICIAL and also in phone status.
Thanks for the help.Any reason why this might have happened? I just don't want to get into flashing ROMs all be it on official rom. This phone is virgin,never been touched with anything dirty

So I connected to kies and it showed update available. Needles to say kies crashed. Disconnected the phone tried the check updates again and it says now, update available but unable to download due no space available. In storage I've 833MB free on device and 25GB external. The update is 125MB?

So at almost a gig free space it allowed the update. Keep calm and carry on.

[Q] OTA update is failing

I have my phone rooted so I can use the hotspot feature and I have no problems with it. When the OTA update came I expected it to kill root and I was prepared for that also. The problem is when the phone reboots and begins installing the update, it ends with an error. It doesn't say what the error is. I'm just wondering if the error might be root related or phone related. Anyone else seeing this problem?
Root related. There is a thread to how to update MJA with MF9 boot loader I HIGHLY recommend that of you truly want to update.

I think your issue is the hotspot mod add to why the update is failing. But I agree with above, I'd go the update route that gets you the update minus the Knox bootloader

My phone is working real good now, good battery life, no dropped calls, etc. I wonder if updating is really worth the effort? I'll have to see what advantages 4.3 will give me. Thanks for the tip on the above thread.
Yes, any modded files in the system partition(hot-spot mod) will cause the OTA to fail. Also, you must be on the stock recovery.

[Q] HELP! I obliterated recovery! Verizon LG G2

Alright, So i rooted my lg g2, for some reason couldnt flash anything using TWRP. i flashed cwm, only to have my recovery screwed. I tried flashing back to stock, but couldnt get into device manager for some reason, im running windows 2002, I NEED my phone hopefully by today. Im kind of a noob when it comes to this stuff. With my recovery obliterated, i did a stupid thing and accepted the OTA update from verizon and i think im stuck inside some kind of bootloop. it shows the lg logo along with some writing at the top left hand corner, something like a error message it seems like. PLEASE HELP. How do i fix this?

but my problem is that it wont boot into recovery, Im really stressing out. ive seen that link but not sure how im supposed to do stuff without recovery. it boots then shows like a few little messages on the top left corner, then turns off
It has nothing to do with recovery. Read the forum he linked VERY carefully and follow their steps. If you still can't get it to work, then ask for help.

Need Help! Galaxy S4 won't boot

My phone was working fine and then it rebooted on it's own yesterday morning and now it is stuck at the ATT logo screen. I hear the ATT music play but it stays on the screen with the logo. I have rebooted many times and it still does the same thing. I have searched everywhere and no solutions have worked. I have NO idea where to start.
Was it rooted? MK2? MK3? NB1? 1337m or regular? We need more information

It was never rooted. Everything was stock since the day I got it. I think I did a software upgrade at the end of last year but that is it.
Contact Samsung.

I would boot into recovery and do a factory reset. It'll wipe everything so I hope you have a back up somewhere. But it should get you going again.

New LG G2 OTA Update!!!

In currently running stock firmware but rooted. I'm in the 3 network in the UK. I checked the other night to see if an update was showing and nothing, and I've been checking periodically over the last few weeks.
Tonight I thought I would give it a go and I am currently downloading a 548.36mb update. Does anyone know what this is??

are you running the 4.4.2 update already?? cause if so it might be bug fixes
Nope. I'm running stock 4.2.2. I didn't think u would get it as I an rooted.
Went to install it and obviously that's where NY excitement became frustration. I've uninstalled Xposed and done what I can to unroot the device without a PC and an attempting again.
Is there a way to unroot the phone without a PC?

if you have a custom recovery than you need a pc or alot of looking around for the flashable zips of stock recovery but they have flashables of the 4.4.2 update that are pre-rooted so id say flash that when you can
This does not belong in the Development Section; moved here...Thanks.
