I haven't used my MOJO in ages. I am trying to update the system's Android OS system. It has jellybean 4.2. I'd like to update to something newer. However when I try to update it closes out saying settings has failed. I am doing this from the my mojo tab in settings. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
There is no official update on mojo. Use roms from xda.......

Alright, I'll run down my problem and hopefully someone can help. I have looked at all of the threads and none have helped me . I am however, very confident one of you guys!!!
Alright, when I Updated to 4.3, I decided that I wanted to go to Cyanogenmod instead of the touchwiz from samsung. I had previously done it with my s3 and everything went well!! So I decided to give it a go. From the moment I tried to root my phone, a notification would pop up on my phone saying "Security information An application attempted to access system on your device without authorization. This attempt has been blocked."
It doesnt matter what method I use (mottochoper, terminal, mac, pc) I always get the same message and everything stops and whatever program I use tells me it couldn't finish.
I have a macbook, I tried uninstalling kies, rebooting my s4/mac, everything!! Nothing works because of this message.
I also tried to dissable and force stop Knox, but it just keeps happening.
I unchecked the box that allowed know to be activated under security, but it keeps happening!!!
I can't root my phone, and it makes me sad very sad ((( The closest I've come to rooting my phone was with the mac Cyanogenmod installer. It almost worked! But then, the security thing.
I have a Galaxy s4 from at&t, running 4.3, a macbook running 10.9, a bagged lunched I prepared for myself that could be yours, and internet access of course.
Someone help please!! Thank you in advance you beautiful folks you!!!!

What rom are you talking about? You can either delete all know related files in the system/app dir or freeze the files using TB backup.

If you're running the stock 4.3 OTA, then you can't run cyanogenmod or any AOSP ROM first of all. Second, if you do have the 4.3 MK2 system, you need to either use Saferoot or Kingo ROOT. If neither of those work, use the third post in ted77's update.zip thread to flash back to entirely stock without the security updates (it will erase data and internal sd) and then root.

Ok, i will try that, thank you so much!!!
I have the Verizon SGP561 running Android 4.4.2 rooted with PhilZ Touch & CWM & TWRP installed. I just received notice of an OS update. Has anyone else receive this and know what it is? I hesitate to take any updates and don't want to lose root.
OK--- Just found this to answer one of the questions --
OTA update 23.0.1.E.0.208 also includes "optimized touch sensitivity," better performance for users who encrypt their tablet, improved support for TalkBack (Google's accessibility service for the visually impaired), and minor UI tweaks to fonts, icons, and layouts. None of it is particularly crucial, and no , it doesn't include an update to Android: Verizon's version of the Tablet Z2 is running the same build of Android 4.4 that is was back in July. But it's hard to be too miffed about that, since the Wi-Fi version of the Tablet Z2 hasn't been upgraded to Lollipop, either.
Now the question is will I lose root if I apply it...
I would also like to know if we would lose root with this update.

i took the plunge and tried it...
i used the supersu and used survival mode and installed as a system app
I am STILL ROOTED
Thanks! Except I've tried 4 times to update and keep getting failed. Using stock recovery so not sure what's going on.

I didn't change my recovery, I only rooted it yesterday and then 20min later enabled su as system app and then survival mode and applied update. No issues here
So far running good, however when I go into settings and tick on airplane mode it actually doesn't goto airplane mode. The only way I can get air plane mode is by holding the power button and selecting air plane mode.
Not sure if this is a error with root or glitch with the new update.
We now have a reboot option tho (not like I have ever needed it on this awesome tab)
On mine the update fails. Says "There was a problem with the update..." As I said, I am on 4.4.2 using NUTs dual recovery and root. I install SuperSu as a system app .
It makes me disappointed I spent money on the sixaxis controller on play store to not figure out how it works for the Z2 tablet a month prior to this update.
Maybe I could use it on other non-Sony devices?
Since my system update thing doesn't work, is there another way of acquiring and applying this update?

You can use this software to download the ftf file and flash it manually using flashtool http://forum.xda-developers.com/cro...perifirm-xperia-firmware-downloader-t2834142/ (will lose data and root)
Update: I've found a way to update the latest version without losing root and posted here http://forum.xda-developers.com/xpe...et-verizon-t3054700/post59440416#post59440416
Any idea on a lollipop update compatible with the sgp561?
Hi all,
thankyou very much for enabling nightly builds!
I have installed omni-5.1.1-20150630-hammerhead-NIGHTLY.zip
I have done it like fresh install, wipe data, chache dalvik.
But for some purposes does the OTA functionality not work. Even there are new nightly builds I get the message, the device is on a actual state, nothing to update.
I remembered for 4.4 it was necessary to uncheck Security within the OTA settings.
But this also didn't help.
Do you have any idea what the issue could be or is this currently not working?
Kind regards,
Chris
Same reason we've had OpenDelta OTAs get stuck before - weird things happen when the download server runs out of disk space.
We're in the process of getting a new server with more space set up, and also our server admin was away due to holiday stuff when we had the space run out this time around.
And how it works?
Ive just rebooted my fire tablet after installing some minecraft mods, when I turnt it back on it came up with a promt saying it was installing the latest software or what ever it does when doing the ota, I knew this from upgrading to 5.0.1.
is it possible it was just doing what happens when normal android optimises apps on boot. is there a app to check the installed software version as im not near my pc to unhide and go in and check what firmware im on. I put this in general as it wasnt a question but just to inform that my tablet possibly had a update despite the proper steps taken to hide the ota and updates.
Saw Same Message But No Update (whew)!
For a split second I saw that same message too when first starting the Fire up. But nothing happened and nothing updated. So I think it's still blocked. Even checking for updates still fails.
So I think we're OK!

Have you tried unhiding to see the software version
Sent from my HTC One_M8 using Tapatalk
I didn't unhide it, but it says I'm still on 5.0.1. There was no update.
I saw the same thing but it didn't seem to update. I know the method i provided works for 5.0.0 to 5.0.1. Until there is a bump to 5.0.2 or whatever we don't know for sure if the "fix" works under 5.0.1.
Same thing happened to me but it was 3 days ago. I had been trying all day to install my adb drivers without success and switched off the device. When I restarted it immediately went into an update and I went into a panic that the new update would block the ability to access google play but immediately after the assumed "update" I successfully installed the adb drivers and google play without problem. I also checked the version and it still showed 5.0.1 so I wondered if my initial update on switching on the fire for the 1st time had somehow been unsuccessful and that had been what had been causing the inability to load the adb drivers although the tablet hadn't seemed to have any other problems and I had already downloaded and used several apps from Amazon.
I let it update upon first booting my Fire to 5.0.1. I was still successful in installing Google Playstore and hiding ads on lockscreen.
I'm not sure but i think that 'installing the latest software' screen is the android OS updating the dalvik runtime files after rebooting when an apk is modified. nothing to do with an ota.

That is my conclusion also.
I had this happen to me also. Considering amazon patched a root method I made sure to root and nuke any chance of a future OTA unless I wanted it too. That was a cheap move, Amazon.
I have S8+ and its currently on android 7.0. Everytime I try to update it, it says you are on the lastest version already. Any way I can get it updated (officially).
Thanks in advance.
See screenshots for more.
Try going into 'apps' and then 'Google Play Services'. Clear the cache, and then force it to stop. Try to update after doing this; I never tried this method, but I heard it works. Some had to do this a few times before it would update.
