I just got OTA notification, should I install it? I'm rooted and have custom recovery.
If you're running stock 4.2.2 (you didn't flash a custom ROM or applied other system changes), then yes go ahead and install the OTA.
Check this thread for more info.
4.2.2 OTA Failed
Hey
I have a rooted Nexus 4 also. Running mako kernel. I got the 4.3 OTA update. Proceeded to install the update. But the update failed, then directed me to the stock recovery screen with the red warning sign. I rebooted the phone, went to Settings -> System Update, the 4.3 OTA is no longer there, and the phone is still running 4.2.2. What should I do to get 4.3?
I'm a noob.
Thank you for your help.
By "mako kernel" do you mean the stock kernel?
Why did the update fail - did you see the error message?
Since you're rooted, you have the option of re-flashing the OTA update:
1. The update zip should be in system/cache. First copy the zip file into your sdcard (ie the root folder).
2. If you don't have a custom recovery already, I suggest you use one to flash the OTA update. Install GooManager from the Play Store and install recovery. The default recovery is TWRP. Google Youtube for the process if you're not clear.
3. Once you're ready, reboot into TWRP recovery and select the OTA update file which you copied over in step 1. This should update you to 4.3.
4. If flashing this is successful, select the option to wipe dalvik cache, then select reboot device.
5. The phone will boot up and you should now see that you're on 4.3. You can now delete the OTA zip from your root folder.
6. If you want to re-root your phone, here's where TWRP comes in handy again. Download SuperSU from here, and paste it in the same root folder you placed the OTA zip before.
7. Now boot into recovery again, then choose to flash the SuperSU zip file.
8. Reboot phone and check that you have root access.
Good luck.

Can you please expand on Step 1?
Im not so sure as to what you mean and how to complete that step
Sorry for the trouble
Thanks
I believe that's the faux kernel (not sure if that's the correct name; I don't keep up on kernels). You will need to flash the stock one from Google if you want to apply the 4.3 update.
Search this forum for more info on doing that; I think the thread I linked to earlier should have instructions.
Expanding on step 1:
- When your phone automatically downloads the OTA zip file, it will store it in system/cache. Open a file explorer app (like Solid Explorer), press back a few times, and you should see the "System root" folder. Look for the "cache" folder, and the OTA zip file should be inside.
- Copy this OTA zip file into your "Internal memory" folder. Actually you don't really need to do this step, however it's the easiest folder to select when you go into recovery mode.
I managed to get the 4.3 OTA again
It downloaded and I'm now in the process of installing.
The phone reboots, (bootloader is unlocked), I see Droid, with the stomach open, blue bar right underneath it.(The screen that shows up with all updates)
Now the progress stopped. The blue bar stopped moving. This is the message on screen
Install Untrusted Package?
THIS CAN NOT BE UNDONE.
-No
-No
-No
-No
-No
- Yes - install untrusted zip
-No

*******Go Back *********
When I choose "Yes- install untrusted zip", the installation fails, with the red warning sign and the droid laying on the ground.
Now I'm at the ClockworkMod Recovery v6.0.3.1 screen, given the following options.
- reboot system now
- install zip from sdcard
-install zip from sideload
- wipe data/ factory reset
-wipe cache partition
-backup and restore
-mounts and storage
-advanced
The error message below the droid reads:

Any help would be great.
Thanks again. I appreciate it
That message is very similar to mine when I tried to apply the update using my cwm I have my baseband flashed to .33 so I can enable LTE idk if that's the problem causing it
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
@cliew:
Signature verification check failures tend to happen on CWM, which is another reason why I recommend using TWRP instead.
You can try following step 2 of my initial post and see if that works.
If the update still fails when you use TWRP, that means you've altered some system files that conflict with the OTA. You'll get another error message when that happens, and it should point to whichever file is in conflict.
---------- Post added at 09:35 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:33 PM ----------
@droidman89:
Yes, I believe if you've flashed different radios, that would most certainly stop the OTA taking. If you haven't already done so, you'll need to re-flash the stock ones in order to update.
I have the OTA file. Assuming that I'm on stock everything but rooted with a custom recovery, will the install still work, or should I reflash stock recovery as well?
@viewfindr
If only your recovery is custom - and no other system files have been modified - then yes, you should be able to take the OTA successfully.
Rooter? Lol just root or rooted. Sure it's a typo.

It should be in System root / cache. The other stuff in that folder (at least for me) are three folders named backup, lost+found and recovery.
If you can't find it there, it's probably because it's been some time since your OTA arrived. Which means it's now been cleared from cache.
If that's the case don't worry, because it'll come back again. Alternatively you can flash the update manually using the 4.3 image elsewhere in these forums.

Hit thanks if I helped
I got the LMY48I OTA update today but it's failed, after a reboot I've cleared the cache and checked for updates and it's no longer available. Will the update be re-pushed to my device eventually or am I stuck having to sideload it now?
It got offered again, however it's also failed again. Tried to follow the advice here https://productforums.google.com/forum/#!topic/nexus/CYhvUSjWfw8;context-place=forum/nexus but bumped the power button and it rebooted. Will have to try again. Do I need to be clearing the cache each time to get the offer?
Managed to get the output from the recovery console on the third attempt:

Are you on 100% Stock firmware? You must not have root, custom recovery or any system modifications for OTA's to work.
Can you sideload the OTA? I had to root my mother Nexus 4 to install a new kernal so it wouldn't go in to the deep sleep of death.
I had the same problem, with "unexpected content" found in another file. Android 5.1.1 stock, no root. This is how I solved it:
1) Boot into recovery mode and clear cache
2) Reboot into android. Go to "Settings -> Apps", tap on the three points in the upper right corner and select "Reset app preferences"
3) Update all apps from the play store
4) Go to "Settings -> Storage" and tap on "Cached data". Clear cached data.
5)After that, I ran the OTA update and it succeeded.
Good luck with that!

The only modified file I have is /system/etc/hosts but that has persisted through the last 1/2 dozen OTA updates without causing issues.

With 5.+ they changed the way that the file check occurs, which is why you have not had issues previously. *Any* modification to the system partition (1 byte out of place), and the OTA will fail. You can flash the stock system.img for your current build, and should then be able to grab and execute the OTA the "normal" way and it will work. It is a bit of a pain in the butt.

Will I loose data if I do this? Not bothered about keeping root at the end of it all - I installed Root for some extra features in Tasker and never actually used them really.
Otherwise what's the easiest way of hiding the system update icon? Replacing it with a Nexus 5 in *name Nexus 5 release date*

No, you will not lose your data by flashing ONLY the system.img file, but will lose root (which you can easily just re-root AFTER you install the OTA.)
Update : Oct 24, 2015 It looks like the bricking scare is over, and there is an updated guide on how to upgrade to the latest Lollipop without bricking :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/fire-hd/general/how-to-upgrade-to-lollipop-root-gapps-t3163950
PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT :
There are now several reports of super hard bricks (not even Amazon logo shows up) when people attempted to load 5.2.2 version via TWRP.
My best guess is that it has something to do with the 5.x update from Amazon that people request before downgrading to 4.5.3. If Amazon is providing a newer 5.x. update, it can be blocking the older 5.2.2 from working after the downgrade-upgrade procedure. When it bricked before, it would at least show "Amazon" logo, but now even the logo is gone.
One would have to capture this current 5.x update, and see what's in it. It's probably updating another partition out of those that were previously untouched :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/fire...idden-t3122246
All the downgrade-upgrade guides are on hold for now ... You are still safe to exist in the 4.5.x space (with root).

I assume I can capture file by reversing rename of DeviceSoftwareOTA.apk but leaving OTA updating blocked. Is that the method?
EDIT: Well, just did rename. No download yet. I've got otaverifier blocked. If nothing soon, I'll enable that and block dcp.
This update was strange and left a very small .data file in cache after saying a download was complete, ready to upgrade. Could not locate a bin file. I will/would try capturing a link via adb logcat.
could be a small update that just preps us to move back to the normal releases.
Just educated guesses.

All that downloaded for me were apk update files, no .data, but device>updates shows:
10.0.42-D-20150925-NA-4 is ready to install
I ran logcat during download and a couple of manual installs (pressing Install button, but I do have updates blocked). I didn't see anything obviously related to update in the logcats, but not sure what to look for. Since I didn't get the .data, will I find anything helpful in logcat? What should I look for? thx
p.s., Or must I unblock updating to capture?

Yep, this is weird. I wonder if one should flash 4.5.3 bootloaders with TWRP in Lollipop first as per this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=62011272&postcount=2 , and let it try to upgrade. This way whatever files it downloads, they will be sitting in /cache. But nothing will be run as it is a non-Amazon recovery.
Another poster indicated that the tablet rebooted about 3 times, and then he got new icons and Amazon launcher :

I'm more than willing to try to capture this if one of you can tell me how.
I don't quite follow the above. I'm running rooted 5.2.2. So I'd flash bootloaders and TWRP per guide, install OS 4.5.5, boot to OS and try to upgrade? Is this any different from someone already on 4.5.5 trying to upgrade? thx

Not this complicated. I think you could flash 4.5.3 bootloaders + TWRP under 5.2.2, enable OTA updates, and continue working. When it decides to self-reboot (after the update is copied to /cache), it won't find stock 5.2 recovery. Instead, it'll hang (4.5.3 bootloaders cannot boot 5.2.2). At this point you can manually reboot into TWRP, and see what's in /cache. Then you just reapply 5.2.0 bootloaders + 5.2.0 recovery, and boot back into 5.2.2 (and do disable OTA here !!!) Hopefully it does not write into recovery partition before auto-rebooting, so that TWRP survives intact.

OK, I'll try this later or tomorrow. Still wonder though, couldn't you--anyone on 4.5.5--leave OTA package blocked but rename OTAsoftware extension back to apk, allowing the update to download but not install?

@bibikalka OK, ready to do this and (more or less) prepared to get replacement Fire . Just one question: Why do you think there will be anything in cache after the update and reboot attempt? i.e., wouldn't deleting it be part of the update process? Thanks! (Edit: NVM--I see your explanation above.)
EDIT @bibikalka, @everyone Thought the update was out for my region, but guess not: With DeviceSoftareOTA.apk named as originally and otaverifier enabled, Device>Updates just returns "no updates." Disabled otaverifier again and will wait on this.
I believe the update will download with DeviceSoftwareOTA.apk properly named--and hope it won't update with otaverifier disabled. So maybe I can get it. Anyway, I'll check for it over next few days, but maybe someone else will try this method first. (I am west-coast US and it seems always last to get updates.)

I think it will prepare to update by staging the required files in /cache, but then it'll try to reboot to apply those files (usually updates are applied in recovery ...). So when reboot fails (as it should with TWRP & 4.5.3 bootloaders which don't boot Lollipop), you intercept the stuff in /cache and see what it has.
Added: If this works, do wipe /cache before leaving TWRP (when you restore 5.2 bootloaders). This way it won't pick up the scripts and run them ...
See edit here. Forgot that I'm always last to get an upgrade. Hope someone who might get it sooner will use bibkalka's method so we can get this show back on the road.
After downloading the 5.0.1 update once I have been unable to get it again. My build number has not updated so its possible they pulled it. Root etc still works so it doesn't look like it applied.
Hello, just wanted to say that I can testify to the fact that after updating to 5.2.2, then downgrading and going into TWRP, flashing all the zips, and then wiping cache before rebooting..... gets you a BRICK!! I've stupidly done it.... to my replacement from Amazon! Hopefully sometime in the future someone can get me out of this one....
hello there recently my rooted fire os 5 with xposed playstore just updated to 5.0.1 by it self and i swear i did have com.amazonotaverifier blocked its weird because it updated when i left my fire hd 6 on charge
it just updated itself to fire os 5.0.1 il stay on that fire os because people are saying you get bricked if you do the whole procedure like downgrade back to 4.5.3 and root and get custom recovery and flash all the zips = brick
2nd try to get 5.0.1 update
I didn't capture the update, but maybe learned something about OTA. Two things I hope someone can explain.
First, I've had extension of DeviceSoftwareOTA.apk renamed back to (plain) .apk since last attempt to capture update. Today:
1. "Check for updates" returned: 10.0.43.-D-20151007-NA-5 is ready to install
(last week there was one named: 10.0.42-D-20150925-NA-4)
2. I dd'd the 4.5.3 bootloaders and twrp (with otaverifier blocked)
3. Unblocked otaverifier, but the only thing that downloaded to /cache was "amazonmp3_10004310.apk" (update to mp3 player, i guess).
(last week they were apks for map and photo apps)
4. Hit "check for updates" again, but now it said "none" and /cache was empty.
(same thing last week)
Does anyone know about updates named like "10.0.43.-D-20151007-NA-5?" I've only seen them since I "corrected" the deviceSoftwareOTA.apk extension, and only apk files get downloaded. A couple logcats I got, however, have many more update entries than I've seen before, but I don't understand logcats very well. If someone who knows logcats could have a look, I'd appreciate it. Just tell me where to post. I think it would help us to know if these updates do more than update the accompanying apks.
------------------------
EDIT: NVM below! I'm getting # prompt because I recently set "adbd insecure" app to start at boot <doh> .
Second, I decided to start over and see if there was a different update waiting. So:
1. Went to twrp and flashed 5.2.0_stock_recovery_uboot.zip (for 5.0 stock recovery and bootloaders, i hope), wiped cache, and booted to OS.
2. Got l o o o n g startup. When OS finally loaded, "adb shell" hung CMD. I had to run TASKKILL /F /IM adb* >nul 2>&1 before adb shell was recognized. And when it was, it consistently returned # prompt: ([email protected]:/ #)
I'm definitely rooted, all google works, version still shows 5.0.0, build date July 20, but even after rebooting both tablet and computer, "adb shell" still always returns # prompt.
Can anyone tell me what's going on here? (Sorry this is tldr; hope a few of you slog through.) Thanks.
EDIT: it's late, maybe I'm nuts, but seems "adb shell" should return $ prompt, then "su" returns #.

These updates appear to be just individual apps, nothing to do with the system. You can google the version numbers, and it'll find that stuff.
The only hope is to checksum all partitions, and find the one that was updated in the latest version 5, but otherwise does not change in earlier versions. One could right a script for that. Then we could overwrite it.
But I suspect the new update may have written into one of the partitions that have other stuff, so the checksum identification won't help.

Would that mean 5.0.1 would not be rootable?
Hello, I am curious, would it be possible to use "fastboot boot recovery.img" instead of actually flashing it in order to get root in the new 5.2.2 (build date sep 23)? It seems this would solve the hard brick problem with flashing twrp.
I'm on a never-rooted 2014 HD6 with gapps & OS 5.2.2. Very interested in rooting this tablet.
hi,
my Eng is not good, i don't understand the title
Stop !!! Do not upgrade to lollipop via twrp !!!
on today i'm receive Fire HD 7 from my phone provider. This is free.
i was rooted it with kingroot. It was succesfull. But i want setup it with android with vietnames because my boy are 10 age.
it run fire os 4.5.3 now.
can i upgrade to android 5.x?
thank for read
I just received the information that there is a new OTA update WAS-LX1AC432B184, but it failed to install I think because it want to patch the system, vendor and custom partition instead of adding file. With Firmware Finder I found the full version, is there a way I can force my phone to use the full version and not the OTA to do the update?
Will it delete all of may files?
Thanks
I believe it will wipe your phone so you will lose all data.
To force the update put the 'update.app' file in a folder named 'dload' (if no dload folder just make one) to the root of your sd card.
With the phone dialer type *#*#2846579#*#* and select software upgrade or, turn your phone off and press and hold volume up and down buttons and power on the phone, this will force update.
You could also contact Huawei support (via Hi Care App) who might be able to help you install the failed update.
i received notification for WAS-LX1AC432B185 (i have the 4 GB version)
update failed, because i had TWRP flashed and after reboot it tried to flash the update in TWRP.
so, i flashed stock recovery in fastboot and then the update was succesfull.

I tried the same, but it doesn't work. I added the update of some System application inside the System Directory and I think that this is the Problem.
Reading the script for the update/rebrand for Mate9 and P10 I found this command:
$ADB shell "echo --update_package=$TARGET_UPDATE > /cache/recovery/command"
if I download only update.zip from Full-MT through Firmware Finder and copy it for example in /dload (adb push update.zip /dload) and then launch
adb shell " echo /dload/update.zip > /cache/recovery/command"
adb reboot recovery
Will it update my phone without doing a factory reset like if it was an OTA update?
In the update.zip there are the full Version of System, Vendor and Custom Partition instead of only the patch files.
Thanks
I tried but it doesn't work.
I found a tricky solution.
I accepted and download the 3 update files then I don't do immediately the installation, but I substitute in the directory where they where stored (/data/update/HwOUC/serie of number) the update.zip with the full-OTA that I downloaded through FF. I had to change owner, group and SE contest with that of the original file.
After that I tell the system update to perform the update.
The phone rebooted and the update started at end I received an error message, the system rebooted showing the old version B182 but patch updated to 1st September.
Immediately I receive a notification of a system update, but this time the FULL-OTA was proposed I did again the update and this time everything works fine. NOw my Telephone is B184
After that I had to reinstall TWRP and reroot it.
Hope it helps
I have a P8 Lite Ale-L21 which is in good condition. Since 2 months my phone has been notifying me to do update. My phone is running on android 6 marshmallow which I updated to 2 years ago. The build no. of my phone is Ale-l21c185b525. The update for build no. L21c185b574 is available on the updater. So when I tap to update it to that , the updater gives a warning that says :
Your system has been altered.You will have to download the latest full update package to complete the update.
Two options come with it that are cancel and update. I tap update. It just keeps on loading but no update happens.
I have also downloaded firmware files of this build number c185b574. I did the whole process of extracting the zip file into that dload folder of root folder of internal storage. Then I went to the updater and tried to do update. But it still gives that same warning which it gives usually and does not update. It just loads for a minute but then nothing happens. Then I tried to do force update by pressing the power button with the volume buttons. It goes into installing update mode. It goes on 5 percent and then gives a warning which says error installing update and gives a link of emui.com mod restore. I did check out that link. It just redirected me to emui.com of huawei. I have done everything I can to do update. But it seems that my phone is not keeping up to my expectations. So please help me. Its urgent.
The best way in my opinion it's do it through TWRP, so you should unlock the bootloader before
Make sure the FULL update file is in internal and external storage (don't extract UPDATE.APP, just put that file into dload directory on internal and external storage) and then in the updater app choose local update.
