[Q] Can't upgrade S5 to lollipop

Hi guys,
I'm having an issue upgrading my S5 to lollipop. After I download the update, I hit install now and then the phone reboots.. then it immediately boots back up and gives me an error saying there was an error installing the update. I was previously rooted and I unrooted with SuperSu.
Is there an easy way around this or should I just upgrade through odin or something? If this is the case can someone quickly link me to a tutorial to do this? I'm a little rusty.
Thanks,

Ota
I had same issue I used Verizons Firmware repair then I did the update thru Verizons Firmware updater on my pc then work perfect, I kept getting update fail with the dead Android then I used this method and worked, I was rooted so I unrooted first after Uninstalling busybox.

[Q] Android update failed! Verizon Bluetooth update

Hey guys I'm on 4.4.2 and I used towel root to root and I did the process to flash a rom. Well when I was rooted I unrooted on Supersu on the stock rom and I updated. Today I tried to update to Verizon's OTA to fix bluetooth and I can download it OTA and install it. It boots into recovery boot and then it loads. It shows the Android guy laying down and the Error wording. When the phone boots back up it says Sorry, there was an error updating your galaxy s5 Verizon. It's been doing this all day and I really want to update to Lolipop.

Same Issue, any solutions?
I have the exact same problem, and under similar conditions. Towel Root worked for a while, but an updated unrooted my phone, now TR doesn't work anymore. So, I'm back to stock, with this Verizon bluetooth update failing everyday for what seems like an eternity.

teamwin bootloop

I stupidly accepted the OTA despite being rooted and unlocked etc. Now my phone is forcing the update and causing a bootloop.
How do I fix it?
Phone is Moto X Style XT1572

Would this work?

Searching for MPHS24.49-18-4 OTA download

My device: stock Moto X Pure Edition, never been unlocked, rooted or modified in any way
Current version: motorola/clark_retus/clark6.0/MPHS24.49-18-3/3
Status: bootloop
Back in May when the MPHS24.49-18-4 OTA was released, my phone started the install then ended up in a bootloop (again, no customization, just something got corrupted and my own bad luck). I have files on it that I need to backup, so I didn't do a factory reset to try and eliminate the bootloop. I happen to have another Moto X Pure Edition, so I thought I would just wait for the next security OTA to drop, snag the download link, and then sideload the OTA to the bootlooping Moto X. For the past 7-8 months, it's been sitting on my desk and when I saw the good Moto X get an update I was super excited. I was able to download the Jan OTA (about 40MB) and attempted to sideload via ADB to the bad Moto X.
At that point I realized the bad Moto X never finished the May (49-18-4) OTA and I'm still at 49-18-3. I've managed to find full ROMs, but I'm wondering if anyone has just the OTA to get me from 49-18-3 to 49-18-4. As I said, I don't want to do a factory reset because I haven't been able to backup some important files. Really hoping just reflashing the OTA will eliminate the bootloop (it may not, but thought I'd give it a try).
Thanks to anyone who may be able to help out.

Moto G4 amazon prime xt1625 soft brick?

Hello, i have a Moto g4 Amazon edition (XT1625) and all of a sudden, it got into a bootloop for no reason. it is not bootloader unlocked, not rooted, totally stock. so i did some research and tried some things, wiping cache, wiping data and nothing. so my next bet was to try to flash the same firmware or anything that would make the phone Boot up.
I tried flashing the 6.0 firmware, 7.0 firmware, at least, i tried 6-7 different firmware with no success (all of them said pre-validation error, like i was trying to flash a older version) but one. the only one that actually flashed, got me booting into recovery saying "this is an unauthorized sw" and that's it.
i got another exact same phone fully working and i noticed it recieved the OTA update NPJS25.93-14.7-3 and as far as i know this the December Security patch.
is there any link to download the full ROM with this update? or the September 2017?
i'm guessing those are the only firmware that could resurrect this phone right now...

Try this link for stock firmware

Thanks for the reply.
i downloaded the rom and tried flashing it without the .gpt and the bootloader.img for safety reasons...
it flashed all okay and when it booted it shows the moto logo and turns off every time i try to turn it on... if it's connected to my computer, it just reboots into boot logo.
and yes, i then tried flashing the rom with the .gpt and bootloader file and no result.
is there any way i can fix this bootloop?
this was actually the first problem the phone had, no root, no unlocked bootloader and all of a sudden went into bootloop..

Nothing has worked so far, the phone is laying like a brick for the moment.
