my A500 has been rooted, but can not upgrapde to 3.2 via OTA everytime it reboot.
Help pls
thx
Yea, i'm also unable to receive the 3.2 OTA. I'm not rooted however, so I dont think thats the problem. Sometime it will finish the download but then say the file is corrupted and starts back at square one....

To the OP, you basically have to unroot it to update via to OTA file. Specifically, you cannot update with the OTA file using the non-stock Recovery system.
Ashy: Are you downloading it over wifi or 3g? If 3g, try downloading it via wifi...
I'm also having issues updating. I get past the download, the reboot to recovery, but the install fails with the bee/exclamation screen.
I've read recently to put the tablet in portrait orientation when installing and will try that tonight.
I remember that worked in the past for me.

Groaner, are you rooted? And if so, did you install the stock recovery back on it before trying to update?
Yes. I've tried every version of.com roms but none of them let me. I have not tried the.07 one so maybes that will be next.
Portrait orientation did not help unfortunatly.
I'm currently trying Taboonay 2.1 first.

I don't think it was really the ROM being used that matter, but that you should have the stock/factory recovery installed. I had to completely unroot my device before I could update from the OTA download.

If you are rooted anyway, I wouldn't suggest the OTA update. You will lose root and if you need it then this isn't the best way to do it. What you should do is install the acer recovery from the market, use that to install CWM (if you don't have it already) and then download the ZIP of an already rooted 3.2 and install that.
Hi. It may just be coincidence. I rooted yesterday everything was fine afterwards. I started looking into updating to MDL since I didn't take the OTA update before root.
I updated via Odin on pc but hadn't noticed that my wifi had turned off until about a hour after.
Its thru the bar and the settings. It will NOT let me switch it to the ON position.
Thinking maybe I am going to need to unroot. Take update ota . Then root again...
I screwed up somewhere since I've seen no body else seeming to have this problem. Any suggestions appreciated.
Thanks

Note: I was getting the SEANDROID notification after mdl update to which I went and froze in TiB

Just factory reset in stock recovery then go straight to download mode and odin back to mdl, it happened to me before something stays behind and causes issues mine was bc of kernel didnt fully overwrite in odin.

Flash the updated kernel that's IN Crawrj's thread. You don't need to freeze the Seadroid app anymore. Newest update to SU fixed that issue, so open up SU and you'll get the popup to update the binaries. Good to go

Just flash a new kernel, be it stock or custom, you'll be alright afterwards

Wow. I love you guys. . That worked. Thank you so much.
I did open SU but it didn't prompt me to update binaries though but I have my WiFi back.

Hi all!
Rogers has just released KK update.
Since there's no root method as of now for 4.4, I decided to root my phone this morning prior to performing the update.
My question:
Do I also need to install a custom recovery (TWRP) BEFORE upgrading to 4.4 if I want to keep root access?
Is it sufficient to be rooted (without custom recovery) in order to keep root access after 4.4 update?
I already downloaded the update to my phone but opted to install the update later.
So I'm hoping this way, I won't have any issues with the phone not wanting to download the update because of a not stock recovery detected.
Thanks in advance!

The upgrade erases the whole phone, so you can't keep root access. There's no root yet for KK on g2.

I upgraded my G2 on Rogers today and lost root, however there is at least one person who did it while keeping root, check this thread, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=51363510, for more info. From what we can see he did a factory reset and uncheck the enable superuser box in SuperSU, whereas I did not do either of those things. The Update DOES NOT wipe the phone if you do it via OTA, I believe it might if you install it via the KDZ.
Yes and if you have su pro you can also try survival mode and if you want to take ota you cannot have custom recovery

I tried the kk update via ota on my rogers LG g2 yesterday. I'm rooted and have twrp installed. In super user I checked temp unroot and ota survival and then problems started. I got stuck at twrp. Powering off and on, rebooting I always ended up at twrp. I used the terminal line and followed from some other post and got my phone back up. Now not sure how to proceed to install the update. So sticking to 4.2.2 for now. Anyone have any clues or should I do a stock recovery or would hard factory reset help?

Use the tool in this thread,I was rooted and running TWRP recovery. I put it in download mode before running the tool and it auto-detected me as d803. The whole process took about an hour, but I am on 4.4.2 now unrooted, no wipe.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2471370&highlight=d803
Bell D803 Root, FOTA, Fun
Just the other day, I decided to root my LG G2 (Bell D803), and found a TWRP Recovery that installed properly (was warned in several locations NOT to use a D802 recovery or ROMs!). Got myself rooted using ioroot (lovely tool), nice new recovery, then found no ROMs really ready for use on the D803 (although I hear some folks have been able to get D802 ROMs working with effort). Barely had time to start exploring my further options when the FOTA update appeared. Not thinking, I grabbed it immediately!
And then the phone went into a boot loop -- Recovery was my only option. Tried looking around within Recovery for any sign of the FOTA update files but later found it goes to a partition. Apparently wiping this partition brings the phone back to a usable state.
adb shell
dd if=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota of=/sdcard/fota-backup.img
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/fota
Once back in usable mode (still with root at this point, but no shiny new KitKat), I did some digging to try figure out how to get rid of my new Recovery so I can get the update. The shortest possible path I found: the LG Mobile Support Tool. I ran it, it said there was an update. Downloaded the update and all was good -- aside for remnants of root being left over (just needed to uninstall Superuser app; wasn't working at this point anyway).
So for now, I'm rootless but fully updated.

Thanks mate. I was stuck in a boot loop as well, but getting rid of the partitions you mentioned revived my phone without the need to reflash to stock.
KK can wait, JB was working fine for me anyway.

Yes. Just doing the update it offered restored my Recovery back to stock and upgraded stock ROM. No wipe necessary and only thing lost was root. There was a brief warning that updates are not available on rooted setups, but I haven't seen that again after the initial boot. I suspect removing Superuser solved this but I'll keep you posted.

Downloaded the 1.5gig file and install took about an hour. Rebooted, checked out the software version and it was 4.4.2
Maybe once root can be acquired I'll root it again simply to get rid of the bloatware.

Use the LG Mobile Support tool, change country to Canada. It Will tell you there is an update for your phone. It will analyze your phone and proceed with the download. Just sit back and let it do it's thing. It will update your phone and remove root and custom recovery if you have one installed. Hope this helps

I'm on 4.2.2 with TWRP right now but just about to update OTA. I'll give this a try once on 4.4.2 and post my results.
Verizon keeps trying to push the OTA 4.4.2 update. I've been doing "install later" but now I'm ready to go ahead and pull the trigger on 4.4.2.
1. I am rooted
2. I do NOT have a custom bootloader (TWRP or CWM)
3. I do NOT have a custom ROM.
So, in order to OTA update do I simply have to un-root? If so, with the Full Unroot in SuperSU do the trick or do I need to go through the steps set up here to go back to stock?
Thank you in advance for any advice on the matter.

If you are rooted you can take ota, as long as you meet the requirements which are don't have custom recovery(twrp/philz/cwm),everything is stock, don't have xposed and have not removed bloat also to answer your question a full unroot from su should work no problem

Tried while rooted. The phone rebooted and the installer started, showing 0%, then threw an error (it went away before I could see it...something like 0x1111004?)
Did SuperSU Full Unroot. Rebooted. Tried install again and got the same results.
I'm going to try a full factory reset and see if it helps.
Well, crap!
So resetting the phone didn't help. I forgot that I mobile hotspot mod so I tried to back that out by installing the stock hotspot apk and odex.
Now, when I try to do a software update I get "unfortunately, software update has stopped". Tried force close and clear cache but no luck. Tried wiping phone again, no luck. Any ideas?
I have a boot issue on my Verizon G2. I'm on 11A stock, rooted and hotspot altered. I also have OTA updates blocked for months by titanium. Was going to undo wifi and unroot and factory reset to see if that helped my boot issue. But I hate to have mine error like yours since mine still functions. Gonna watch this thread and hope you get yours fixed. good luck
While trying to remove the hotspot mod i removed the mobile update apk. What a moron. Anyway, thank god i had a backup.
I'm back to square one. Can't ota update. It fails with 0x1111004. I'm going to look into disabling the daily push of the update and/or some other method of installing Kitkat.

Is it just me, or did this take forever? Mine began to self-download, with no option to delay? It took over an hour to download, and then when it finally began the install step, it got stuck on the white Verizon logo for a while. In fact, it's been about 5 minutes, and I am still waiting for it to power up so I can use it!
For a security update, yes, abnormally longer than usual. White Verizon logo screen for what seemed like 10 minutes, no Android is updating apps either, just a quick storage optimization

I've been conditioned over the years with a rooted phone and unlocked boot loader to never apply OTA updates. Do security updates mess up root or anything?
Haven't rooted in such a long time, I can't say, but I certainly would want security updates as soon as possible!

I didn't update as I am rooted as well. I'm going to hold off till we get a rooted version

Just finished the update. Took about 20 minutes total to download and install. Most of that time was "stuck" on the Verizon splash screen during installation.
Got it too... Shows that the patch level is now April 1.
Anyone able to verify if it messes up root or not? I've been pushing off the update but it's persistent. Any way to simply disable OTA so I stop getting notified?

Ota won't install if system is modified.
Yes you can stop notifications, take some time and do a little searching.

OTA does not "mess up" root if you are systemless root; you'll just need to redo Magisk.
If you have written to \system, the OTA won't take at all.
Also, the OTA won't "complete" if you have other than stock recovery; you'll need to flash the firmware manually in htc_fastboot or via an update.zip.
