Hey,
So I was going to update my Phone to 4.4 KitKat.. This is a AT&T Phone. I've tried to update the phone twice through the check for updates section on the phone and both time it failed with this error message.
The phone was previously rooted and then the rooting was broken by an AT&T update so although I still get the Custom message when the phone boots up it's not rooted currently.. Do I have to roll this phone back to a unrooted version of the Firmware before I can do the update? If so can someone point me in a direction for instructions on doing that?
Thanks
Yes, from what I understand you have to go back to stock, or flash a leak.

Hi guys,
I'm wondering if someone can help me please. I attempted to root my phone a few months back, not knowing it can't be done on HBOOT 1.54 so ended up flashing Clockwork Mod recovery to the phone (now says TAMPERED)
I got the alert come through to my phone when 4.3 became available, but when downloading it fine, it won't install. It boots into CW recovery and an error saying 'operation aborted' appears very quickly and the phone reboots back into how it was originally before downloading the update.
Does anyone know why this is? Ideally, i'd like to scrap the CWmod and get back to how it was before (like factory etc)
I also can't seem to get my desktop to recognise my phone, I think it's a driver issue, does anyone have drivers for Windows 8?
I have a UK Vodafone contract HTC One.
Please can someone help!
Thanks
You need stock recovery to flash OTA.
You can probably S-Off with rumrunner.
Hello,
Let me start by just saying that I'm very new to the whole rooting and android development scene and I'm.sorry in advance if this question is noobish. Anyway I have an at&t HTC one m7 that I unlocked the bootloader on, flashed twrp and rooted. The device was working fine no issues ,recently there was an ota update that my brother got for his all stock m7. So I flashed an img of the stock recovery and relocked the bootloader in hopes of having the update install. I know it would remove my root access but I didn't mind that .
Anyway now my device is telling me there is no more ota updates available.
This is odd because I tried to do the update before changing anything back a nd it got stuck when twrp launched .so there is an update available.
Is this normal or is something wrong? thanks!
Edit, i cant words
So I decided to flash THIS on my XT1063, which currently the phone is on 4.4.4. It gave a error as shown in the screenshot. The phone is completely stock and nothing have been modified. Any solution? and I don't want to wait for OTA... AND I have limited internet so I need to get this working...
Thanks
You need to downgrade as there is no ota for build 21.11.23

Just bought an at&t variant on craigslist, I did a factory reset and tried to run the 5.1 update and I get an error updating, it downloads update.. then it reboots and starts installing showing the android guy working , then about 20 seconds into it it shows the little android guy on his back with a red exclamation and says error and then proceeds to reboot. Once rebooted it says it failed to update. I'm used to Samsung phones .. hoping there's an odin type option to get a stock 5.1 or rooted stock 5.1 on this guy, any headstart info would be appreciated. thanks
Here is the AT&T 5.0.2 firmware:

If you want to unlock your bootloader or root your phone don't upgrade yet! While you still have 5.0.2, root is possible with mofo and unlocking the bootloader can be done with sunshine. After you upgrade to 5.1 you can't downgrade nor root it. If you unlock it now and root it now, then you can keep root when you go to 5.1. But if you go to 5.1 before that you are screwed and lose the ability to do it forever.
We don't use odin. We have a tool called RSDLite. Search for it on these forums and you will find it and instructions on how to use it.

thanks for the heads up.. Glad I decided to wait and not try to figure out that update.. then not be able to root.
thanks
Hi,
I rooted my GF's Verizon Moto X on 4.4 like 2 years ago and can't remember how I did it. I feel like it had something to do w/ slapMyMoto or one of those toolkits.
With the announcement of Lollipop finally being released I wanted to return it to stock so It can be updated to 5.1.
Does anyone know how I should go about doing this? Is it as simple as just doing a standard update? through the software update in "about phone" or will that break it without reverting somethign first?
EDIT: when i click on update, it give me the following error "Unfortuantely, com.motorola.vzw.settings.extensions has stopped"
EDIT2: looks like that previous error was because i had some of the updater/OTA apps frozen. It now seems to present me w/ the option to update to 4.4.2. Decided to give it a shot and try to take the OTA. It rebooted and shows the android guy with "installing update" then eventually turned to a "error" android guy and rebooted, so no successful update.
THanks and sorry for the probably dumb question. I've been too spoiled w/ nexus'.
Download the stock firmware and flash it with Moto's fastboot executable, at least if the bootloader is unlocked you can do that. I'm not really sure if it will work with a locked bootloader, but I'd imaging that it wouldn't. I believe that there is a sticky here that even guides one through the process of returning to stock.
Thanks, i did eventually find some info and flashed the stock 4.4 image. After doing so, I was able to take the OTA to 4.4.2. However now that i'm on 4.4.2, it says my "software is up to date" when checking for the 4.4.4 OTA. Anybody have any tips on how to get it to go to 4.4.4?
to get 4.4.4 update
