I flashed my D801 to stock because I accidentally wiped both internal data and system in recovery. Now when I try to root using the root tool, I get this. It says the apk is installed already (because I tried it multiple times) but the actualy binaries required for root arent being pushed (probably because it can't mount system)

Thanks all.
Remark: OTA will check the /system, if you have installed like Xposed which has modified OTA relate files, it will not working. Just flash back the original system.img and update from recovery again!

Well for phones without external SD card like my Nexus 4 and Moto G, the memory for use to the user or connecting your phone to PC and modifying files like a USB drive is called a SD card here on XDA (I think), so don't worry about the terms. Hope its clear and hope this helps.

Unable to get to stock recovery
so i flashed this update and everything works well. but for some reason i cant get onto the stock recovery. anyone else experiencing this?
Before downloading the OTA from the below link, please take note:
1. This is an OTA update (not the full firmware). This means that...
2. You should read the whole OP of this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2639102
3. I am not taking responsibility for bricked devices.
4. This ZIP is not flashable via TWRP/CWM/PhilZ...stock recovery is required.
Here is the download link: http://goo.gl/D14Q5X
Thanks to nomad 64 for this.
I went through the update on my device. As it has been noted before, stock recovery is required. However, I did keep root through the process...woot!

Just curious... how did you root? unlock your bootloader and use customer recovery and SuperUS? or did you use SlapMyMoto? if Slap... I've seen reports of still having root, but write protection being enabled again so you can't do anything with /system and the like..
I'm on Verizon not Sprint but I still consider this progress, happy and a little jealous of you guys!

Yes. Reference the "Returning to Stock" section of this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2603358. You have to download the whole firmware package for sprint, which sucks because you only need one file. After you have done what you need to do with TWRP/CWM, reboot your phone into the bootloader, then simply run

I unlocked my bootloader and flashed SuperSU. I live life on the edge!
At the time of the upgrade, I had flashed stock recovery and unfrozen Sprint Zone. I had also completely removed Xposed (uninstalled modules, disabled Xposed, and flashed Xposed-disaper.zip). I still had other root apps installed when I took the upgrade (TitaniumBackup and ROM Toolbox Pro). I have verified that they still work post-upgrade without additional work on my end.
If someone gets a copy of the ota zip faster than i upload it please message me a copy of your link and i will update the original post with it.

You need to have a completely stock system and the stock recovery installed. I manually flashed with super user still installed just fine but everything has to be completely stock straight out the box. To manually update you just download the zip in the OP.
1 boot into boot loader by holding volume down and power button
2 use volume key to scroll down to recovery press volume key up will put you into stock recovery with the red triangle.
3 to get to the menu screen in stock recovery you must hold volume key up then press power
4 choose to install from SD card and navigate to where the zip downloaded in this screen power button is used to select your choice. I moved the zip to the root of my SD but it usually will be found in downloads.
5 push power button to install ota manually. Be patient it will take a minute
I had it abort on me first try cause I forgot to change my fonts back to stock so be sure you are bone stock no tweaks or even V4A installed with STOCK RECOVERY.

That's OK with the apps from the play store and amazon just things like exposed modules and viper 4 android have to be uninstalled basically anything that modifies your system cannot be installed. I did have Super user installed when I applied the ota with no problems though

for those who are like me and haven't felt the need to root their phone or use a custom recovery, the process below worked to update an unlocked, un-rooted, stock AT&T moto x. this is probably available elswhere on the forms too.
- copy the zip into "download" on the internal storage
- boot into bootloader by holding volume down and power together
- at the bootloader screen, use volume down and scroll to "recovery", then press volume up to select it
- in recovery mode you will see "no command". hold volume up and press power to show the recovery menu
- use volume down to go to "apply update from sdcard" then press power to enter
- you should be at "choose a package to install", use the volume buttons to highlight "download/" and press power
- use the volume buttons to highlight the zip and press power
the update will start. it took about 5 minutes on my device. when it finishes, use volume keys to select "restart system" and press power. device will restart and you're done.
for unlocked bootloader we'd have to delete superuser to install this, correct?

No, you don't need to uninstall superuser. If you use xposed, make sure you uninstall the framework (no need to uninstall the modules).

I tied to flash via recovery, but the verification check didn't complete. the email.apk didn't match. I removed it when I updated to 4.4.
I flashed down to 4.2.2 from 4.4 and rerunning slap my moto because I am rooted, but no su binary. lol
For those who had issues taking the OTA. You have 2 options that I see.
Removing the verification lines from the updater script. Don't know if that will work or what it will do.
or
Reflashing to 4.2.2 via RSD Lite. The write protection is still 0. using slapmymoto again and updating via OTA to 4.4. You will lose all data. I used to titanium back up and stored my stuff to the my box drive.
I am installing 4.4.2 via recovery from the OTA i downloaded this morning and I don't have that stupid email.apk issue. The system update says i am up to date so I had to do this way.

Excuse my not knowing, but I just came to the forums here to peek around and see about this, since I'm on AT&T. If I uninstall the framework and take the update, what do I have to do to enable xposed after the update? Do I have to reinstall the framework every reboot?

Additionally, you also want to ensure that your /system is not write protected. If your bootloader is not unlocked, /system partition will most likely be write protected, so XPosed will not work until you do a soft-reboot (from the installer app) every time you restart your phone.
I just figured that out hahaha

@smokeystack76
@Otisrhw
@Jakman85
@Azrael.arach
@Budrweber
UPDATE: 3/30/14
The same method has been confirmed by @Budrweber but instead of using adb, just flash from your ext sd card.
NOTE: ADB SIDELOAD WILL NOT CAUSE A WIPE, BUT PUSHING THE UPDATE FROM EXTERNAL SD WILL WIPE ALL DATA.
Few users have reported unrooting on NB4 after changing files and downloading the OTA and updating normally.
USB DEBUGGING MUST BE ENABLED, if you are this far there is no need for me to explain how to turn it on. If your phone is unresponsive to your computer even though you have installed, re-install via Kies 3. Turn Kies 3 off before running ADB.
First of all, you are going to need an ADB Sideloader and it can be found here.
Install to directory C:\Mini-SDK
We'll come back to ADB later.
Now you're going to need the update file found here.
Rename the file to update. (DO NOT NAME UPDATE.ZIP, JUST "UPDATE".)
Place "UPDATE" into the same directory as your ADB C:\Mini-SDK
Now lets leave ADB and the Update file alone and start replacing the files on your phone!
You'll need the following files.
system/xbin/dexdump (if deleted you can find the file here or you can copy/paste & replace)
system/csc/feature.xml (If deleted find it here.
Delete the original "feature.xml" and rename "feature.xml.bak" to "feature.xml")
Download the fix.zip from this page.
You do not have to reset permissions, I did not how ever do as you feel and works for you.
Step 1 copy the mobicore-presetup.sh to /system/bin
Step 2 copy all the APK files to /system/app.
Now navigate to system/bin
You should have a "ddexe" file, if it is named "ddexe_real", rename it to 'ddexe".
This should fix all the known errors in the process of adb side loading.
If you continue to get more errors use the file dump located here.
UPDATE: app_process is another recurring error, please grab this file from the dump uploaded from @smokeystack76
Now to the fun and most anticipated part of the day...
Volume + button up, power and home button all at the same time. Release once you see Recovery mode.
Navigate to Update from ADB.
Plug up to USB.
Now, when you start windows cmd prompt, you can either start from the ADB folder is located in by control, shift + right clicking or manual cmd.exe in "run" or "search"
Once command prompt is loaded,
Type in the following command.
"CD /D C:/MINI-SDK"
Then if you are in the right directory and you placed the "update" file accordingly... type...
ADB SIDELOAD UPDATE.ZIP(the file name should not have .zip or you will get a "can not read" message.)
and now you should be on your way to 4.4.2 Kit Kat.
Not bad. The system dump is here.
Now you need to post links to this thread in the other thread
Thanks for the step by step. I'll try this tomorrow.
You were on a rooted NB4, correct? You restored to MJ5, updated to NB4, rooted, and then did this?

Correct.
For anyone trying to find an easy way around this whole update mess. Just go to your local best buy store and talk to one of the Samsung reps. They don't have the kit kat update yet but however they can reflash 4.3 on your phone wiping out all your data (make sure you do a back up from home) and this will let you get the OTA update with no problems. My note 3 has been rooted twice one being last night and it worked. Just make sure your not rooted when you take your phone.

Has anyone tried doing an emergency restore (or whatever it's called) through kies first then trying to get the OTA to work without failing?

So did you root with Kingo too when you were on NB4? I didn't want to use Kingo, but I thought what the heck, and used it for quick rooting. Then after the Kitkat update, I realize I have SuperSU as a system app even after factory reset. Apps like CPU-Z reports my devices is rooted when it's not.
Is this the only thing that's not same as pure stock NC2?

So did you root with Kingo too when you were on NB4? I didn't want to use Kingo, but I thought what the heck, and used it for quick rooting. Then after the Kitkat update, I realize I have SuperSU as a system app even after factory reset. Apps like CPU-Z reports my devices is rooted when it's not.

you can re-run and use kingo to remove the root
Also if you are weary of the update, back up your files and apps then factory reset. Once you are factory reset, download the OTA but just hit "remind me later".
Do the instructions in the OP and after it installs it tells you that you have an update pending, install the update and it covers any files that may have went missing in the update.zip.
If you wanted to be 200% sure.
I am set at official and with no custom lock and Knox is 0x0.
