[Q] System Version 139.15.1 won't OTA

I have a Moto X developer edition and I've been trying to OTA update to 139.15.1 but my phone fails with the error code 410. I found the Flashable zip and so I'm going to install it with that but for future installs how do I do it with the OTA. The phone failed both while rooted and while running a stock nandroid I made before rooting. With the stock nandroid the only thing modified was the unlocked bootloader. Yes I am using the stock recovery. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

there are threads out there already describing how to take the ota on a dev phone. But pure curiosity here, how in the hell are you making nandroid backups with stock recovery? I had noidea stock recovery allowed you to make those backups. I thought that was the point of other recoveries.

It isn't possible to make a nandroid backup with a stock recovery. I meant I reflashed the stock recovery after making the backup. Anyway it is possible to make a backup that includes your stock recovery by using the fastboot boot command to boot to a recovery over usb rather than flashing it to your recovery partition.

interesting. Still wouldn't expect the OTA to work if you booted that way though. The OTA would be checking the files on the phone not the files from the usb that are running the phone. I wouldn't think. But I could be really confused on what you just said. Either way, there are several threads on the matter that should adequately answer all your needs.

Yes it would appear you are confused on what I just said. Anyway I guess I'll browse around to find instructions on how to take an OTA for the next time there's an OTA released.

i get what you were saying now. I thought you were saying that you were booting your phone from a usb drive that had the stock recovery on it so you could see if the OTA would take on your phone. Anyway, I dont' remember all of the steps that people were taking but it was pretty simplistic.

URGENT: New ota released (1.54.651.10) how do I take it if I'm root?

I'm root/soff. a new ota just came out that will fix my unusable phone. how do I take it if im root, do I have to fully unroot? or can I take it as is?

looks like it needs stock recovery to flash, it's not hboot format and twrp won't take it. will report back if I am able to do it

One of the benefits to being s-off is you don't have to take the OTA...you just flash the firmware and done.

i did that and then i was unable to take profile or prl updates :crying: it also didnt apear to have fixed the signal issue... i might not have waited enough... or it could have something to do with the unability to take prl and profile updates... anyhow ill try again from a diferent download see what happens

Did your baseband change? last four should be .0610.
If it did change then it's most likely a network issue.

Yes the baseband did change but the signal problem persists. i need to take the FULL ota to fix my phone (or install something else that will) regardless the radios alone aren't fixing the issue.

i tried flashing the rafios by themselves and it wouldnt update prl or profile; it also had the same signal issue. i tried the radios AND the new stock rom for it and same thing. i tried going back to stock and taking the ota and the ota wouldnt install.
Thoughs?

I'm the same root/s-off. I flash the h/k sound file did you find a way to install the latest ota update?

I cant figure out how to get the OTA either
I have S-Off im also rooted, and i have TWRP recovery, i can't get the zip to flash. I was thinking about doing a stock root recovery using the RUU, but then i thought if i do that, would i still be able to reroot using the same method? so my question is, how can i flash this zip and keep my root? or should do a stock recovery from the RUU and update and wait for another root? if any devs read this, i'd really like your help please and thank you. I currently have the stock rom with just root access and S-Off.no custom roms on here.

man.. i have the same problem bro.. smh.. hey man keep me posted if something comes up

You have to have stock recovery to take the update, which means you have to flash stock recovery first and then take the update, then repeat the rooting process.

you should at least have seen a green arrow circle and/or a red triangle with a "!" in the middle. if you saw the triangle that is recovery trying and failing to update. at this point if you press and releast volumeup+power it should bring up the text of what it did.

Unable to mount \system \data \cache etc. HELP

The problem: Overnight my Moto X (xt1056) went dark. Was 80%+ charged, woke up and dead as a door nail.
The day before I took 4.4.4 OTA, flashed TWRP, rooted, backed up the ROM. All turned out fine.
Now when it boots it gets about 80% of the way through the boot animation and then it goes black and nothing ever happens. So I went into recovery and attempted to flash my backup but it fails. NO!!! It says cannot mount \system. Now I cannot wipe anything and I can't mount anything and I cant flash any ROMs.
I have tried flashing back to stock using some unbricking articles, but they all result the same way.
I think I need to reflash the gpt.bin for 4.4.4, but I can't find one. I am open to any ideas, and let me know if you need any other info.
Thanks XDA community!

Did the OTA "take" bringing it to 444? So if you try 442 that would be a downgrade? Right. Try Rsd lite with 444 unmodified. Edit,
But you may have a brick due to the 442 flash.

You can't downgrade!!!! Never attempt to flash a previous version. Best/easiest way to BRICK your device!
He means using RSD Lite. But use the 4.4.4 SBF. Use this one: http://sbf.droid-developers.org/download.php?device=0&file=940

Just to clarify, the ROM says VZW but this is Sprint, will it matter?

Are you xt1060 or Sprint? Yes it matters.

Yep, there IS NO Sprint XT1060.
All XT1060s are VERIZON. Big deal, and big difference. Your first post said you have an XT1060...........
You are in a tough situation if you are using a Sprint Device. The ONLY 4.4.4 SBF that has been released is for Verizon. You may have a brick for possibly weeks until the Sprint 4.4.4 SBF is released....

I don't think there is a 444 xt1056 XML ? There is a thread in the dev sec.
Edit but there is no firmware link- XML/Rsd file so you are stuck til a release is out.

There is no solution here. You must wait for the official XML.
Let others note : do not downgrade. Which is what happened here. The borked OTA was just bad luck or an example of how things can go wrong. But the op would be stranded anyway with no XML to fix it yet. But He will not know til the XML comes.

Notice how 444 has no firmware button while the others do. Rsd can only flash firmware. Roms are flashed by custom recovery & they only touch boot, system, data & recovery. Rsd does much more. You have borked partitions that, hopefully, only firmware & RSD (or fastboot) can fix.

The "XML" is a file inside the SBF that instructs RSD Lite which operations to perform. For all practical purposes, they mean the same thing....
There is ONLY a 4.4.4 SBF for Verizon. You do not want to flash this to your sprint phone - most likely it will get no service.
I'm sorry that your phone is in a non-functional state, but it definitely sounds like you had modified something that caused the OTA update to go wrong. Unless you want to risk permanently bricking your phone, you will do this:
Put it in a drawer somewhere. Re-activate an old device to use in the meantime. Wait until the official 4.4.4 SBF is leaked for the Sprint XT1056 (could be tomorrow, could be next month - no one knows). When it is leaked and appears on the droid-developers site, you can ATTEMPT to flash it, and hopefully you will recover.
Bummer. Bad situation to be in....

Oh I get it now! So now I need to hope someone releases the firmware and hope that when I flash it it fixes the problem. Right? lol

Of course the OTA (Blur.update.zip) needs an intact partition/phone structure to add on to so it is of no value now.

So if I flash VZW it will work but I won't have service? That would be great because I don't have service now! I was already waiting for Ting to whitelist the Moto X. So if I run that now, I can check back when (if) Ting opens up and perhaps the Sprint one is out. Right?

It isn't without risk....but another member says that he did it successfully. A member in my SIM-UNLOCK thread has flashed the VZW firmware to his Sprint Moto X. He did not lose the IMEI, and since he used my sim-unlock method, the phone works on any GSM carrier.
But DO NOT take this as me saying that you SHOULD do this, or that it is safe. I'm warning you that it COULD make your condition worse or could cause irreversible damage. I have NOT done this myself, and I would never recommend it.
It *Might* work for you, but *ONLY* if you have unlocked the bootloader, and its still quite risky. If you do it, you are doing it completely at your own risk - I'm not responsible for anything that goes wrong.

I understand. I already F'd up once by taking a risk, I think I learned my lesson. I will wait a bit for the Sprint firmware and if that pans out then I can rethink it.
So the Sprint ROMs page you linked me is the place to watch if it comes?

[Q] Updating my rooted phone without OTA?

So my phone keeps screaming at me to install a update, stock Rom only rooted, downloaded it to find out I cant install it with out the stock recovery and it would probably unroot my phone....
So I'm kinda confused as to what I need to download to update.
This all steams from how my old lady is picking up 4G at our house on her s4 and I'm stuck on 3g and I think it's because I haven't updated in a long time.

if you're s-off you can use the modified firmware in OMJ's thread to update your firmware.

Sooo, just flashing a new firmware is enough? Dont mire things get updated in a ota, could I get a link?

I'm with you... I tried doing my own research, found this thread (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2795856) and asked if flashing the "Modified Firmware w/ Radio" file would be the correct one to give me all of the needed OTA updates. I was told yes (though as you mention, the size difference doesn't make sense), so I flashed it in Fastboot.
...and I still have the system update notification on my phone which I can't get rid of. If you figure it out, please post here. Thanks.
I hope to have the process all figured out once 5.0 is released so that I can upgrade without wiping, as folks who are not rooted and take the OTA will be able to do.

Have a look at this regarding Android L/5.0

[Q] AT&T Nexus 6 5.0 -> 5.1, will I lose root?

All,
I just got prompted by AT&T to install the 5.1 update and while I want it right now my phone is working near perfectly and I use a number of root needed applications. Before I do the upgrade I want to know if this will cause me to lose root and if so how easy it is to get it back? Right now I'd definitely pick root over 5.1
Searched but couldn't find an answer so sorry if I missed a thread on it already...

you have root, you wont be able to update via ota. any kind of system file changes prevents you upating via ota.

Ah, ok - so even if I'm being prompted you're saying that it will fail? I'm not running a custom ROM or anything just rooted. Just clarifying as it is prompting me to update.
So to update would I then need to go through the process manually? I'm sure there's a thread somewhere so I can find that, just making sure I understand...
