They're named for the build they're meant to replace. Differences are noted in the 2nd post change log.
EDIT**
Well, thanks for this official update, but it too fails for me while flashing the radio image and bricks my phone. I guess I'll have to call up Moto again. :'(

SaaaaaaaWEET! Thank a bunch Sam!!! Got it dl'd, installed, and now in the process of re-rooting and re-installing Safestrap! You're the BEST!!!

I have safestrap with stock rom on the non-safe and cm9 on the safe system. How do I go about flashing this update?

You dont recommend sbf'in back to stock before installing the update?
Just a thought..i would probably reccomend it as it would help the install process and avoid any conflicts that would cause a brick..seen it a thousand times..but...
And it would be easier to get to stock recovery by pressing pwr+x
Just food for thought..

If your build.prop identifies your version as 906 it won't update because the updater sees that you're already on that version. I was already on 906 too but I put the 890 build.prop in /system and rebooted and the update showed up.

Android 4.4 KitKat installation failed on nexus 7 (2012)

Hello,
I had a problem with my nexus 7 today, hope someone will help me.
Today i got a notification that says, new android system has been downloaded.. touch to install..
So i tapped the notification, and if anyone who has nexus 7 and got an updated before.. he will know exactly mo problem.
So i clicked the button "reboot and install".. my device has been rebooted .. and there was that screen like cmd in Windows.. i remember some messages from it "MD5 not found" then the the deviced booted and didn't get Android kitkat update.
Information about my nexus 7 device:
1) It's rooted.
2) I've Android 4.3.
My Questions are:
1) How can i get that notification another time to try install it again?
2) When i go to Recovery.. Install.. I see the ZIP file for Android 4.4, it's name was "kataski" i think, my question if i flashed that ZIP file.. means i've installed kitkat manually, then i'll lose my auto updates?
Waiting for the reply.
Thanks

Hi,
As per: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=47648484&postcount=2342
OTAs will never work on a system which is modified in some way, because they contain only bytes which were changed between two Android versions. If files on the device are changed (custom ROM, different kernel, MultiROM-injected init, sometimes even root), OTA simply can't be applied. Everyone who roots his device should be aware of that.
Wait for the flashable ZIPs,

So, instead of OTA (over-the-air), you can simply download the image files directly from Google Android's site: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#nakasi

Aha, i see. So maybe because i've rooted my nexus 7, and i've also got a different kernel for MultiRom( I've installed ubunto touch on my device). ... Those the reasons that leads the installation to be failed?
Anyway, my system auto downloaded the update, it name was "nakasi".
I tried to go to Recover mode, and tried to flash the nakasi ZIP file and flash it,,, but the operation was failed!
What should i do?
How i get auto update installation for kitkat on my nexus 7?
Another question, if i downloaded the Factory image from the link you gave me: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#nakasi and flash it in Recovery Mode... Let say it will success? then i''ll lose auto system update on my nexus in future - because it will be installed manually.
=========
Please Copy the questions in your reply, and post the reply below each one.
Thanks
You modified your rom, therefore, you cannot ota. Use the full images or restore the rom to normal (kernel and whatever else you did).

That quote isn't exactly correct. My N7 (tilapia) is rooted, unlocked & twrp recovery. The OTA worked fine. I had to reroot (which us normal), but its clear evidence that's contrary to "OTA's will never work on a system that has been modified in some way". In fact, wug's toolkit thread has multiple comments where people go it the OTA after rooting, unlocking & installing a different recovery. That said, mods MAY result in OTA's failing.

Another 4.4 Upgrade failure
I am having problems with the OTA upgrade too. However I am running a unmodified/rooted version of 4.3. I have also tried sideloading the factory zip and doing OTA and sideload from a factory reset.
I get the dead android and red triangle error and if I go to the restore menu then this is the error report I get each time

You can use this ZIP( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2528090) file flash using recovery. You can use cyanogenmod window installer to give nexus new life and then revert to kitkat. Using that zip. This zip can update via ota. Just help

We are probably agreeing to refer to the same thing; maybe it was just a little miscommunication.
If we take only the first sentence of the quoted post "as-is", then it may contextually be construed as an over-generalization (to which, I agree that it is not exactly correct). However if we read the entirety of the quoted post, it was explained further that if a user has a "different kernel and multiROM-injected init), then OTA cannot be applied.
...to which, this thread's OP eventually mentioned that he has "a different kernel for MultiROM" installed.
But as far as being able to receive the OTA, yes I did receive it (rooted and running MultiROM); I just couldn't apply the OTA update. To solve, I performaed a "fresh install", i.e. download and install factory image method.

The problem is that, the nakasi file i downloaded from here: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images

Thanks in advance

My bad. I read the "different kernel..." as an example of mods that might be made, that could cause failure, not a specific listing of mods that would cause a failure (implying that if the mod's not on the list then it wouldn't be a problem).
So i have the same problem, but aditionally my Windows 8 is unable to recognize my Nexus 7 while in recovery mode and i can't mount the sdcard to install a new rom. Only recognizes it as "grouper". Any advice?
I think Wug Fresh for nexus toolkit can help you guy to bring back your nexus to life. I use from the start.

Stock Nexus 6 (Verizon) will not update!

Hi guys,
As I wrote in the title, my Verizon Nexus 6 will not update. When I get a notification for the software update, I see that it downloads and is ready to restart the phone so it will install the update...
but when I do, it will display the android icon with the word "error" above it. No error number or details about why it did not work.

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Things I tried already are:
formatting the phone (both through the settings menu as well as the stock bootloader)
deleting data and cache in Google Services Framework (via settings/apps/all apps)
I have more than enough space in my storage; more than 2/3rds of my storage is free space, so I really am having trouble wrapping my head around why this software update is failing to install. And since all the threads and help things I find are for rooted phones, I am having trouble finding something that would offer an answer. I was hoping to keep this phone stock as long as possible, which is an oddity for me because I usually want to root my phone immediately. I guess I just really like this phone as stock. And other than this update that fails to load, the phone has no other issues, other than a few emojis that fail to show, but I feel like that's from the software not being able to update for the 6 months that I've been trying to update it.
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!!
Is your device unlocked? Have you tried to sideload the update?
If your device is unlocked you can use NRT to update without loosing any data.

You might try clearing the cache partition in recovery and reboot. Maybe the next OTA will be install without issues.
lol!
if you made any kind of changes, chances are that any ota will not work. but that's alright, all you have to do is flash the factory image. it would've been updated already if you did that instead of writing out your post. you can grab it here https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images

Best is to enable OEM UNLOCKING and usb debugging in developer options, reboot into fastboot and unlock the bootloader and after the reboot flash the latest MMB29S firmware as @simms22 allready stated. Flash the img`s seperately in fastboot, all i would flash personaly is the system and boot img.

I had this issue with my Nexus 7 (stock) - wiped the cache partition in recovery, and waited for OTA to appear again - and it worked.
BTW, you don't need root to make certain changes(I don't know what changes, but I know many don't get ota because of). or google just made it to sensitive.

After you flash with TWRP (a step with NRT). When you opt to reboot system, you will get a message asking if you would like to install SuperSU. If you swipe to install you will have a "system root". If you opt to not install, you will have a systemless root.
Personally, I have a "system root", and it seems to be working fine, whereas before, I was having an issue with the systemless root.

ok, thank you for all the help. i already unlocked the bootloader using the tool kit.
tonight i will root it and try a custom rom. maybe chrome or pure nexus project, those seem to be stock with extra options and rro customize.
Thanks guys. I just got around to sideloading the update last night and it's working like a dream.
I'll probably root it soon now. I've been feeling the itch recently... Lol
This (so far) is probably my favorite stock phone though. I might keep it stock for a bit longer

I have just bought the fire 7, update and register if I wish to root right now?

Hi, first of all, thanks for accepting to me in the community I am a new user, now.
I have just bought a fire 7, and now I want to root so soon so possible...
Come with the version 5.1.3, my question (very important question right now) is if I have to update and register the device or not, I have not set up the device with wifi cause I think it would automatically upgrade to a higher version....
and the reason to not doing, is reading this http://forum.xda-developers.com/amazon-fire/development/amazon-fire-5th-gen-supertool-root-t3272695 have to downgroad the 5.1.3 to 5.1..2 and after this useing SuperTool.
Help with my first steps for not brick the device,
Thanks friends
If you upgrade your fire tp 5.3.2.0 you can then downgrade it to 5.3.1.0 which can be rooted.

Agree on 5.1.3->5.3.2 via OTA followed by 5.3.1 rollback (sideload); then root using the 'SuperTool', not Kingroot directly. 5.3.2 is the latest build at present (reference date of post); first OTA typically updates to most recent build.
Other thoughts:
- no benefit to 5.1.3->5.1.2 rollback; leaves you with a slightly older kernel
- be sure to keep WiFi off after rollbacks (except while rooting)
- no need to register device w/Amazon if custom rom is ultimate goal

Thanks very much
to side load you will need the "update-kindle-global-37.5.5.2_user_552153420.bin" file then you power off the fire, then hold down both volume down and the power button in till you see a screen that looks says this "Amazon system recovery <3>"
Scroll down with the volume buttons to "apply update from ADB" use the power button to select it and sideload the file from earlier.

Reload (sideload) FireOS 5.3.1 via stock recovery menu. Refer to forum index, specifically forth post, for recovery details.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/amazon-fire/general/index-amazon-fire-2015-t3210485
this one firmware is? https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24269982087009066
I did root from 3.2.1.0, my device never uploaded the 3.2.2 so not did need downgroading, so the firware would help to me?
it is my first device I root (and brick too lol )
thanks

Yes, correct file. Forum index (previously referenced) contained a direct link; you didn't have to go hunting.
Thanks again, I have to find out how flashing it to my device ... I saw supertool have a recovery tool, but for the early firmwares ... my english is not so good, I am newbie, and I do not want to make a false step that could break the device so I apreciate a lot you helping me..
Hello,
Searching and reading other threads, I thinks this is the way to unbrick my device, only I want to make sure http://forum.xda-developers.com/amazon-fire/general/unbrick-restore-stock-2015-amazon-fire-t3250639
I think not having to install drivers again (supertool did when I rooted, it is ok?) and the only thing to do is change the extension firmware from bin to zip and place it to sd, finally run the Amazon Recovery following the steps i did read.
Although not sure if I have to install the Twrp thing at somewhere.
Thankssss

No, that won't work. Nor can you "install" TWRP. If you can not access the stock recovery menu the device is not recoverable.
I can access to menu recovery, if is this one below, yes I can

See below, 1st and 2nd posts. Includes video. Make sure you have the proper firmware; 3.2.1 is not relevant to this device. Should be 5.1.2, 5.3.1, etc. Must be identical or higher that version of FireOS previously on device. Attempting to go lower usually yields a brick.

Thank I just saw the video.
Although I'm a little afraid to have to take so many steps lol
If I installed drivers to computer, I did it when I ran supertool to do root, I can avoid this step now, can't I?

No - different drivers are used (or just try; of device won't connect you'll need to install/update drivers).

[GUIDE] How to install early Android Pie build on Nokia 5

UPDATE: ND1-612E released. If you have already installed ND1-612D or 558K, you can download it from https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=287909 and install it manually by dialing *#*#874#*#*.
I strongly recommend you to unlock the bootloader before proceed - I won't tell how to unlock the bootloader in this guide.
Take a look to this video first if you want to know the experience of Android Pie: https://youtu.be/ay6CeonzoD8

In this guide, I'll provide two different methods to get Android Pie on your Nokia 5.
Both methods will erase your userdata.
I only tested it on TA-1024, but it should also work on TA-1053.
Here's an important hint: Nokia 5 (ND1) and Nokia 6 (D1C or PLE) can flash each other's stock firmware, including TA-1000 Chinese firmware.
So the TWRP ported for Nokia 6 can be also used on Nokia 5.
If you want to experience fully customized Android Pie (CN) on your Nokia 5, read this guide:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/nokia-6/how-to/guide-how-to-install-android-pie-build-t3879899/
To confirm your current firmware revision, please dial *#*#227#*#*.
If you're running ND1-558*-0-00WW-B01, you can use both methods.
If you're running ND1-560*-0-00WW-B01 or ND1-563*-0-00WW-B01, you can only use method 1.

Method 1: Use OST LA to flash my homebrew firmware
You should be familiar with this method.
1. Download "ND1-612C-0-00WW-B01.7z" from following site:
Or, you can also download ND1-558K-0-00WW-B01.7z instead then perform method 2.

https://fih-firmware.hikaricalyx.com/index_en.html
2. If you have Android 8.x running with LOCKED bootloader, please downgrade bootloader back before processing. If you have unlocked bootloader, you needn't to downgrade the bootloader.
3. Open OST LA or NOST and load the mlf file, in download options, only choose "Normal Download" and "Erase userdata".
If your phone boots suddenly when flashing splash, close OST LA and force power off your phone then flash again.
You can download NOST from https://github.com/StollD/NOST
4. All done, enjoy Android Pie.
Method 2: OTA Update from ND1-558J or ND1-558K
1. Download packages from here:
https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=287909
https://tpedutw-my.sharepoint.com/:...1BsF1FoPk--uIBfiMbYurDs7NCwOHd05fanA?e=MToYsb
2. Place both packages to root directory of internal storage.
5. Dial *#*#874#*#* to update.
6. After update installed, it will tell you "Encryption failed", click "Factory Reset".
If your phone encountered boot loop, you can enter recovery to perform factory reset manually.
Here's how:
1. Press and hold both volume keys and power key.
2. When you see "shutdown device:" on the left up corner of the screen, release these keys.
3. Connect your phone to a charger.
4. When you see a charging animation, press and hold volume up key and power key.
5. When you feel the phone vibrates, release the power key but only hold the volume up key.
6. When you see Android Robot lying and "No command", press the volume up key with power key holding to get the recovery menu.
7. I needn't to mention what to do next.

7. Enjoy Android Pie.
FAQ:
Q1: Can I root it?
A1: Yes, but you must have unlocked bootloader, and Magisk 18 seems unusable.
Q2: How to downgrade bootloader in case I want to roll back without unlocked bootloader?
A2: Rename existing Android 7.x or 8.x OTA package for your model to ND1-9999-0-00WW-B09-update.zip. Then you should know what to do next.
Q3: When will you unlock Nokia X7 / Nokia 8.1?
A3: I don't know!
Q4: When will you get Nokia 9 Penta Camera Phone?
A4: I don't know, don't ask.

You still need to check if you're running ND1-558J. If yes, download both packages and follow the guide.
You'll need to update twice.

Flash TWRP-3.2.3-0-PLE.img to recovery partition, then power off the phone:
Code:
.\fastboot oem HALT
Pull the USB cable, connect your phone to a charger. When you see the charging animation, press and hold volume up and power key.

(my device is TA-1027, and my version was ND1-558J-0-00WW-B01 before the process)
it is not necessary to unlock the bootloader of the device, in my case (I do not know if it was just good luck) but do not need to restore the phone to the factory state (keep my complete info, even some banking applications that are more delicate than usual with the updates)
-----
Installed on a TA-1027, method 2
No problems encountered after 3 hours of testing.
Does the temporary bootloader unlock method suffice for said unlocked bootloader requirements?
I can't get NOST working as it says i have to be in critical bootloader state(?)
When doing OTA update method, it says file not found
+1
One question
Would I be able to further update my phone by OTA updates or not
the link is broken
the link to download the file from nd1-558j can not be access
Looks like a great tutorial. Too bad that official version is just around the corner. On the other hand.. Are there any plans to make NOST linux-friendly? Not talking about wine.

Question Fleeting chance to update to MIUI13 - what happened?

Hi all,
I've been hanging out for the MIUI13 (Global) OTA update for ages, hoping it would fix a bunch of issues. before I go the nuclear option* and install a custom ROM. I've joined the beta program and been hitting check for updates obsessively.
Finally late last night it said MIUI 13 was available! Based on Android 12. Woohoo! I hit the download and waited.
When it finished, it asked to reboot, but unsure as to how long the install would be, I quickly went and checked my mail. Of course, when I returned to the update screen, the reboot prompt was gone and there were no updates to MIUI 13 anymore - back to 'no updates available'.
I rebooted many times and have checked dozens of times, but the update to 13 has vanished. If I manually download the latest package, it's still 12.5.9.0 Stable.
I'm guessing I've tripped a flag or something and it thinks I have a failed update. Any thoughts on how to proceed?
Cheers!
* nuclear in that I would have to get a few specialist apps reregistered etc. and it would be a major PITA.

Why you didn't search for this file:
miui_SWEETGlobal_V13.0.4.0.SKFMIXM_4e557a2f1f_12.0.zip
and clean flash it via orange fox?
Or search for the same fastboot file and flash it via miflash?

That will be my next step - normally I would just flash a ROM of my choosing.
Mainly I didn't want to lose all my data and settings. For example, the scanning app I use for my Invisalign requires the dentist to generate a new registration code if I reinstall or get a new phone.

The MIUI OTA update first downloads the update file to your phone. That file should still be on your phone somewhere. See if you can find it and note where it is. Then ...
​Launch ‘Settings’ app on your device, select ‘About phone’, click ‘System update’, then press ‘three dots’ icon at the top-right corner, and select ‘choose update package’ to enter. Choose the ROM file you’ve put in ‘downloaded_rom’ in Step 2.
