No problem cm11 is now an option, just letting you know. I think you're best option is eclipse or kangakat when they update it to 4.4.2

Since there isn't even a regular stock recovery flashable OTA.zip for the XT1060 to 4.4.2 there isn't going to be a CWM one.
Wait until Verizon pushes the OTA and then hopefully a dev will mod a flashable .zip up for you.

yea please dont bump your thread the 4.4.2 update has not even hit the US yet and to top it off there really arnt any stock flashable zip's for the rest of the firmware.
and a dirty flash is not recommend because of the changes in the rom you will be better off running a TB backup and then returning to stock flashing the 4.4.2 OTA then installing recovery and SUPERSU then restoring your backup.

Not sure what you are smoking, but the 4.4.2 has hit the US. My phone is asking me to update to it.
As for flashing, I know what I am doing as I have three rooted devices. The other two have CM on them.

Are you sure it's 4.4.2? AFAIK, 4.4.2 isn't rolling out to the xt1060 yet.

If you have the 4.4.2 OTA in your /cache/ folder, there would be quite a few grateful souls if you extracted it for everyone.
Now to answer your question, no, that update will not be compatible with CWM. The OTA checks for stock rom and stock recovery before it can begin.

However, if you can pull the OTA file out of your cache and post it, it'll go a long way toward making the update available so others can mod it into a CWM / TWRP ZIP.

If the update fails for any reason, it usually purges the update from your cache.

You'd have to tell it to download but then find the file before the phone tries to reboot to install the update.

OTA Update

Here's the zip of the OTA that was pushed out. It won't install through either CWM or TWRP, so can someone who's more knowledgeable in these matters make it flashable?
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/821854/OTAPkg.zip
And in case it helps, here's the log from CWM from trying to flash it manually:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/821854/recovery.log
And yes, as with any OTA, you run the risk of losing root, etc. But for me, I really don't care. I've even tried pushing the included stock recovery, but it doesn't work like this. You get a phone with an exclamation point over it (I'm sure you all know what I'm talking about) when you try to boot into that recovery. A quick push of TWRP back onto the phone fixed that error, but I still can't flash the update, obviously. Anyone want to take a crack at it?
Thanks to nuclear_eclipse for getting this and the log for us!

That symbol just means that it doesn't know what file to use for the update; this is part of what get's communicated somehow from the OS to the recovery during reboot, but I'm not familiar enough with the way recoveries work to know how to trigger that myself. I would assume this is a similar mechanism to how ROM Manager et al can tell CWM/TWRP what to flash.

That makes total sense. I guess it's not automatically checking the folder that Software Update puts it in. I've got another 22 hours until I can get Software Update to check again. I'll push the stock recovery before I do that, unless someone makes this flashable through TWRP or CWM before then.
In my stock Rom thread there are new files up. They are the ota roms. So if you are running stock, download the odex one ending in 1.08 and flash in recovery, no need to wipe data. Then pull boot.img and fastboot flash it. You now have the ota software. I will post instructions to upgrade the firmware that came with the ota

System update problems

I was notified of a system update on my tablet today. Got it downloaded and started the update. About a third of the way through, the little android fellow keels over, dead, with the dreaded red exclamation.... Error. Tried the update a few times, all with the same result.
Anyone else having this problem with this update? Any suggestions?
I have to laugh every time I see the dead android... it's just a perfect icon for the situation.
Your tablet is fully stock? No root, no apps removed or frozen?

I have rooted stock, and it's been a while since I've update firmware manually on stock that's rooted. I plain forgot how to do it. Can someone refresh my memory please? [emoji15]

You have to flash the stock recovery back and make sure all the bloatware that came with the rom is installed and not frozen.
The best way to go about this would be probably to flash sbdag's stock rooted rom, then flash the stock recovery from Droidbasement, then manually flash the firmware which you get from Asus downloads.
Not worth the trouble IMHO....

Download the firmware from Asus, unzip it once and copy that file to the root of your internal SD. You may have to reboot for the system to find it, but with stock recovery installed it should give you a notification.
That's how I remember it, but there was a lot of trouble for users trying to flash back to stock with the 4.2/4.3 update - don't quite remember, but I think those got solved when Droidbasement provided the flashable stock recovery.

Original problem ... solved.
My original post of the system update not "taking", has been solved.
I got the update from the Asus site, and manually updated my tablet. Thankfully, the little Android guy did not die this time.

Phone showed 5.0.1 update ready but went to twrp

So my phone is rooted with unlocked bootloader running faux kernel. I just received the ota update and clicked the button for restart and install. When I did that it brought me to my main option list in twrp. I didn't know what to do so I hit reboot system. It rebooted but nothing showed updating when I did that. Showing I'm still on 5.0.0.
What did I need to do? How do I still update now?
You cannot accept ota if you're modified.
You'll have to flash a ROM.zip or fastboot flash system.and boot image.from the factory images

See that's what I thought but was confused that I got the ota. I'm having a problem finding the rom.zip. Only finding images and I don't want that. Do you happen to have a link?

If you download the image from google there is a zip drive with the files you are looking for inside of them. You can fastboot them individually.
Or you could just flash one of the many roms on here that are using the newer 5.0.2

[RESTORE] Factory Restore 24A zip

Here's a fast way to do a full factory restore so you can take an ota without erasing your internal storage.
This will not however remove the rooted message for a warrant claim.
Check MD5's before flashing.
Step 1: Flash Flash KK24a System Restore 1st.
Step 2: Flash KK24a Bootstack Restore 2nd.
Warning: You will loose your custom recovery after reboot.

Can't do 27a restore as System.img is too big for a zip to be flashed. Its over 2.2gb. Needs to be under 2.1gb for custom recovery to flash it. I can't get it compressed under 2.1gb.
This is cool thanks!

Excellent, thank @MicroMod777. One more question; after I flash this, I'm unrooted, no custom recovery. If I root the 24a using ioroot25 (but not a custom recovery), will the root maintain through the updates to 27A? I recall reading somewhere on here that it did. Thanks for your work!!

Not really sure, but you can always use Stump Root on 27A. Can take up to 10 minutes for it to root through brute force:

Looks like they may have patched that in twrp recently.

No, You will loose root by any method you choose to update to lollipop best to wait and see if root is even possible before updating. otherwise you may find yourself in the position of no root and no way to downgrade to 4.4.x

That's what I figured. I will just keep waiting to see if root is achieved/can be maintained.
I am uploading to my mediafire for a second dl location for those who are interested. If you want to keep root do not flash this file until a flashable version is available. If you want to flash this version do a backup with Kies so you can restore everything after you update. I did this many times before I rooted this device, it works.

There is update floating somewhere 4.4.2 to 4.4.4. Read this : http://forum.xda-developers.com/att...to-root-g900aucu2aoa1-4-4-4-2-3-2015-t3021120
Just Quote from post i post link to :
"1. Should the OA1 ota update fail consider returning to factory stock NCE (all User Data will be lost) by flashing the G900A_Downgrade_to_NCE.tar using Odin's PDA slot(AP in Odin v3.09+) then taking the OTA updates to OA1. Or, place the G900A_NCE_to_NG3_OTA.zip and G900A_NG3_tA1_OTA.zip onto your ext-sdcard and sideload from stock recovery starting with the G900A_NCE_to_NG3_OTA.zip. Once updated to OA1 "
