OTA Update 24.81.3.en.ca - X Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My wife has started being prompted to this system update the last week for 24.81.3.en.ca. I'm wondering if she can hit install no problem or if i'll need to unroot (or do more?) before i can install.
I've looked and actually can't find much info on this specific update so not sure why that is but if someone could confirm that would be helpful as i dont want to brick her phone as she already doesn't like me 'fiddling with it' so i'll be a dead man but the constant prompts are also starting to annoy her.
Thanks!

I did this update today. Thought it was nougat. Biggest problem for me, was I seem to have lost 60gb of downloaded music on my 128gb sd card. Google play music started downloading EVERYTHING again. Also, all the programs that were on my SD card, disappeared from my home screens. The apps were still there in the app drawer, just had to put the shortcuts back. Not really sure what the update addressed.

October security patch
Sent from my XT1562 using XDA-Developers mobile app

I installed it but, StageFright Detector still tells me that my phone is vulnerable even with this security update. Google needs to make more efforts. Or maybe, Motorola should've given us the December 2016 update instead of a two month old update.

I saw a timeline earlier regarding a Nougat update in Dec for X Play? Any word?

ok so do i just unroot and install or something else? Or is there anyway to hide the update prompts?

Please share ota file on share drive like, googledrive/dropbox/etc.

Yeah if someone can share it, that'd be great. I can't go back to my stock ROM anymore cause I did the update, then tried CM14.1 and now, trying to go back I get (bootloader) preflash validation failed...

So I'm using the stock Rom but the bootloader is unlocked and rooted so I have to unroot only and install the update then re-root?

In your bootloader the status should say "unmodified/original(something like that)" you need stock recovery.
Easiest way is to download the new firmware and flash it.

Do NOT do this update. Nothing but problems since. Now will not recognize my sd card at all. Will not format it, gives tons of errors. Called Motorola support, they are aware of problems. Terrible idea.

Maybe that's why I'm completely unable to relock the bootloader with the official ROM?

I've never been able to relock a Moto device. I thought that was a Nexus only feature, but I could be wrong.

You can relock them but it will always remain as having been unlocked (status code 2). I've done it several times after tinkering with CM but after yesterday's update I can't do it anymore. I get a preflash verification error.

To save you looking around, here's a reminder how to stop updates: https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/MOTO-G...llipop-update-notification/m-p/3204499#M19669
If you really want to get rid of the Lollipop update notification go to "Setting" then scroll down to "Apps" and select it. It will take you to another screen. Since it's asking you to update you have downloaded the update that enables you to upgrade. Under the "Download" tab scroll down until you find "Motorola Update Services" and select it. You'll have three options at the top, "Force stop, Uninstall Updates and Disable." Select "Disable." It will then prompt you "Delete data and disable app?" Select "OK." It will then ask "Do you want to replace this app with the factory version?" Select "OK." You will no longer be asked to upgrade. If you ever want to upgrade just enable it under the the app again under the "Disabled" tab in the App menu, just swipe to the far right and enable. Don't forget to download the update from the playstore to enable the upgrade to Lollipop in the future.

That's unfortunate for you. Personally, I don't have any problem after the update. The only trouble I had at first was that it was refusing to install because I had root. I tried to unroot and then reinstall default recovery but I still had the same error. I had to flash factory image on the phone before installing it.

Alright the firmware with the update was added to https://github.com/motoxplay/stock !

Hi Guys,
Newbie to this forum...here's hoping you can help resolve my issue. The latest update (24.81.3.en.ca ) does not want to install on my x play get an" error!" message mid-way through the install. Performed a factory reset ( a few times) as per Motorola customer support. Still get the same error message mid-installation…Any suggestions? My phone is stock ( not rooted ...yet). I noticed other users having issues with this update. Was wondering if I don't install this update will I still be able to install Nougat (when it becomes available)? Other than this issue the phone works great no problems.
Cheers!

Android 2.3.2 System Update

I just got a prompted notification that 2.3.2 system update is now downloaded and verified in my phone. Just need to go ahead and ok the install/update on my phone. Not sure if most or all are getting this?
Should I? LOL
more info:
"Android 2.3.2
601kb
This system update from Google contains important bug fixes."
Go for it.
This is probably the update that includes the major SMS bug fix. Samsung posted to their official twitter account that and update to address that is coming very soon.
It looks like v2.3.2 is the one.
Funny thing though, I never had problems with the SMS bug. I have sent/received SMS (2k+). And when I got the notification, I just pulled the battery off to check my S/N to register in the Samsung website. LOL
Is there any other bug/fixes with this updates other than the SMS bug?
If you're rooted, you might want to wait and see if it's safe to do it (ie., doesn't break root) unless you're confident on how to get it back. The last update screwed with Recovery and gave some people some slight grief for a short period.
Just rooted
Wouldn't you know it? After I just finish rooting using the step by step guide, the first thing that pops up is that there is an update to install. So my question is, will installing this update kill my root? Or any other negative consequences for my newly-rooted SNS if I update to 2.3.2?
Just rebooted after update, seems that at least the browser got some kind of lagfix, for example www.n4g.com.
"Your system is currently up to date."
hmmm.... what about people on Custom ROMS ?
i check the Settings > About > System Updates
and there's nothing it says
"Your system is currently up to date."
Without thinking I chose to install it while being rooted and not backing up. After it rebooted it froze (when it couldn't find a recovery I'm guessing.) I pulled the battery, let it reboot, and I'm still 2.3.1 and rooted. Just FYI

Often one have to wait untill the devs implement the update into the custom rom.
Generally once you're on a custom rom, you're best to wait for the rom dev to give you guidance.

Not sure without being able to open the update file and see what it actually does.
IF you're going to try it. Have a nandroid backup made of your system as it is right now, and have a copy of CWM recovery handy to reflash via fastboot.
You'll probably have to re-root if you can even get the OTA to stick (like the one post above that says it didn't...)
so, back to stock recovery before update?
swype
FYI, swype did not work after update, had to reinstall, now works fine.
How do I get this update?
Made a check for updates in my NS, and I got none.
Still in 2.3.1 here.
Would those of you who get it, if you have a chance, please run the logcat on your phone BEFORE updating and try to catch the url so we can get a manual link for it:
in order to extract the url for the system update, we need to run alogcat from the market, then when the update notification appears look in your logs for a url that says something like clients.google . You can install alogcat, then set filter to clients.google

It's going to roll out slowly, just like the 2.3.1 and Market updates did. I don't think all the checkins in the world will speed it up by any significant amount.
What we impatient types need is someone who is offered the update to grab the url so we can just manually download it.

4.5.91 OTA "not available"???

I was not planning on installing it but i am wondering why the phone is not even finding it.
I'm on 1.83, locked BL, rooted (gingerbreak), a few mods like sideloading, tethering, webtop, etc. And a few frozen sys apps that i did unfreeze but still not finding the update?
Have you tried the SD card option?

I realize i have different options, just confused as to the simple OTA is not working. I heard that if the files are modded and so on that update will not install, but my phone is not finding an update period.
Are you on WIFI? I believe it is required.

No idea.
Using the official SD card option is equivalent to downloading the OTA through your phone. It's the same image file from moto. Better IMO if you've modded your phone and if you need to retry the update. With the download through your phone route I think the update file needs to be re-downloaded if the update fails for whatever reason. With the SD card route the update image stays on your sd card after reboot/update failure. Be sure to delete it after the update is applied as stated in the instructions.
I had a similar issue as well. When checking for updates my device reported "check for update was not available at this time" whether or not the update was actually available. In order to get it to come up I had to go to settings, data manager, data delivery, social applications and then uncheck sync over wifi only. I'm not sure why this mattered but after I restarted the phone and checked for updates it found it.
Hope this helps.

"Not available" is the error you get when the phone is not on Wi-Fi and you attempt to check for updates.

Update from NAE to NG2!

Anyone receive this update yet?
I took the update and my build number updated, but my baseband and software still say NAE (Happened to me late time too) so hopefully the .tar file gets released soon or a way to redownload the update file and place it on my external sd card and reflash it.

Thanks for the reply. I'm all stock with Towelroot only. just wondering if the new "Google security fixes" will break the Towelroot exploit as I'm assuming that it will.
Also assuming that this is pretty much a useless update that only closes that exploit since Sprint was too sorry to include wifi calling as it should have.

I want to do the reverse
I took the OTA to NG2 and now apps that I regularly use (DoggCatcher and Daily Roads) are reporting storage problems and are unable to write to ext SD card, even after applying NextApp fixes. Maybe I need to reset the paths or something, but if that doesnt work, what would be the best way to revert back to NAE?

This is probably stupid and already answered in another thread but I'm a noob, don't flip out on me... Let's say, theoretically, I was to accept the
NG2 update. I'm rooted with Towelroot, using Supersu and Titanium backup. I've backed up then delete almost all of my bloatware with TB and have no further use for root at the time. If I were to break root with the update, will all that stuff stay the same and be safe until I can root again? I.e. If I break root, touch none of those root apps, then root again later, will they even "know" anything happened?
Since you can't take an OTA while rooted, that won't work.

You will have to first install the stock NAE tar file with odin to return your phone to a stock unrooted condition with the stock recovery. Then you can take the ota. After that you can reroot again with cf autoroot.
Now the question is can you keep the domestic sim unlock if you do this?

[Q] Error during lollipop upgrade

Hi all,
I received the OTA upgrade notice recently and I let it upgrade the device. The installation process can be initiated after reboot, but after a while I get the "Error" screen with the android logo lying down with a triangle exclamation mark at its stomach. It then gets stuck there for a couple of minutes, and then reboot to the original operating system.
Since there isn't any information on the error screen, I can't tell what causes the error. Has anyone encountered this and what should I do (or just wait)?
Thanks!

If you are on a custom rom/kernel/recovery i.e. not 100% stock, OTA will fail. Even if you are completely stock and rooted, OTA may fail.

It's completely stock. I once used Kingo Root to root my phone, but had soon reversed the operation. Not sure if that is a possible cause, but apart from that I didn't make any material change to the core system.

i was just offered the OTA update for my Nexus 4 in the UK. i accepted the update and as far as i can tell, it downloaded it, then went to install it. however, that didn't seem to happen. after going through the motions and wanting to reboot, which i obviously allowed, the phone still displays as being v4.4.4 when i check for updates though, it tells me the phone is up to date.
i dont know what to do now, so would be glad of any assistance offered, please
just offered and accepted the download again. same result. it appears to be 2 things preventing the update from happening. the first one is about accepting an untrusted/ zip package (or something like that) and the 2nd is about fixing root. i have tried doing 'yes' to both of them and 'no' to both as well. same result, the download downloads but wont install.
could i upgrade using the Android Toolkit? i have paid for it, so have the pro features, but the update wasn't offered through it earlier

Do you have a custom recovery? CWM gives that untrusted package message if you have signature verification turned on. If yes, you need to revert to stock and also unroot. Supersu does have the option of unrooting so you could try that. You could check out the toolkit, at least it can be used for backing up your data to the PC.
tnx for the info, venu123. progress made so far. i downloaded the Lollipop image and put it into the folder within Android Toolkit. i then let it do it's thing. the phone is now updated but i am struggling to get root again and also need some instructions on how to get it to sync again as a lot of the apps i had on the phone are not there now. anyone able to help with this please?
gonna have another try to get root on the phone. if successful, willpost back
---------- Post added at 08:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:47 PM ----------
ok then. Android Toolkit didn't work. i can only assume that it's something to do with the Lollipop image not being in the program. however, i did get root by using the latest wugfresh app. many tnx to you for your efforts, wugfresh.
the one thing left for me to do now is somehow get the apps i had before the Lollipop update on the phone again. any help would be great, as i cant even see an option to sync the phone.

Is there a way to flash without wiping my data? Clearing my data is the last thing I'd want to do and, if this is unavoidable, I might just stay put.
I have a thought: since the message is telling me that dexdump has unexpected contents (that file actually doesn't seem to be there, as I've just checked), is it possible to just replace this file to bypass the problem? Thing is I cannot find this file anywhere for download.
Nevermind.. I copied that file from the factory image and the installation went smoothly!

Android Nougat is coming to the M9 sometime in the "far" Future

Lets see if it comes faster to our Device then Marshmellow...after Google released it to the Manufactures.
And it comes as it seems just to three Devices. (A9,M9, HTC 10)

I just wish I knew how to do the upgrade all I do is go round and round, when I tell it to update it boots into the TRWP mentioned above and I have no idea what to do next.

You can't install OTAs with a custom recovery. You'll need to flash the stock recovery first and try again.
Got that system security OTA notification as well today. I'm using the stock ROM with root (SuperSU flashed via TWRP). Can I stay rooted to apply the OTA with the stock recovery or do I have to flash the RUU first?
Solved:
Make a backup with Titanium or however you like. Save all your data from internal SD. Afterwards apply latest RUU.exe from HTC (depending on your carrier). If you wanna reroot, I would suggest SuperSU 2.65, because newer versions end up in bootloops.
Don't expect Nougat this year...
It's the August security update

You can't install OTAs with a custom recovery. You'll need to flash the stock recovery first and try again.

If you are flashing from 3.39.531.7 to .12 then you need the stock recovery from 3.39.531.7 to be installed.
If you've already flashed a custom recovery like TWRP, then just pull down the RUU from HTC's Web site. Be warned, however, that it will wipe the phone back to factory-fresh, so back up all your files/data/photos/music etc. and remove the SD card just to be safe.
RUU 531.12 T-Mobile
And to answer your specific question, I don't have the stock recovery for 531.12, but I presume that I will later today after I RUU my own device. I don't know how to archive the stock recovery but I plan to flash over it immediately with TWRP.

you should
" fastboot oem lock "
to relock your bootloader - remeber - to save alll yor apps / settings (via TitaniumBackup for exaple) before
(re) unlocking bootlader will wipe all data

I just got a OTA message to move from 3.39.531.7 to 3.39.531.12 I'm with T-MO and have it rooted with Teamwin recovery 2.8.7.1_CPTB-B1 on 6.0 Marshmallow
I just wish I knew how to do the upgrade all I do is go round and round, when I tell it to update it boots into the TRWP mentioned above and I have no idea what to do next.
guess I will wait until the smart people figure it out

I just got a OTA message and doing the upgrade to 3.39.531.21 will let you all know how it goes.
since I had TWRP installed , I had to download the RUU from HTC to do the first update to .12 , it went well 2 weeks ago when I first posted here, except it wiped out TWRP. then 3 days ago my phone started complaining , when ever I tried to change permissions on apps , with a message telling me to turn off draw over on the apps, all the searches on google, sent me to people telling me it was Twighlight causing the problem , EXCEPT I don't have that app installed, then it said something about turning off sidekeyborad? I never found it, I hard reset the phone, and as usual it ruined some of my contacts ?? I always loose 5 people I call all the time.
will post in here what new bugs crop up with this PART 2 upgrade of 7.0 nougat 63 things updating now
adios :cyclops:

That's not a bug but a security feature introduced by google. It's meant to prevent malicious apps from making you accept things/permissions you don't want (keyword: tapjacking). Go to settings > app > open the three dot menu > configure apps > draw over other apps. There you can revoke that permission from any suspicious app.
There is an article about tapjacking on the xda portal if anyone wants more information. It's called "How tapjacking made a return with android marshmallow - and nobody noticed". Btw, the article explains why the security feature isn't perfect, too. (Using xda labs at the moment I can't add a direct link to the article. However google should be able to find it.)
I just hope for the classic Non-GP Sense UI. The one with the Grid View Recent Apps.
HTC One M9 is the last chance for the full Sense experience on Nougat, because is the last Non-GP HTC that is being updated.
