Trying to install latest update - Software Update crashes when I try to open it

My phone was rooted with hotspotprovision hack. LINK
I'm trying to install the 4.4.2 update that was released a few months ago and the installation errored out with 0x1111004. I found from another thread (LINK) it's because my mobile hotspot was modded.
So I followed the instructions on that thread and restored the original hotspot app, rebooted my phone. Now when I go to update (Settings > About Phone > Software Update) the updater app crashes the moment I try to open it.
After doing this, I realized the files the guy in that thread linked to were the incorrect files. When I originally modded my hotspot app, I replaced the HotspotProvision.apk. That post linked me to backup files for MobileHotspot.apk/.odex. After realizing this, I put my MobileHotspot originals back in the /system/app directory (thankfully I backed them up before making any changes).
So I'm currently back to where I started this morning before I messed with anything - rooted with my modded hotspotprovision. However - the system update app is still crashing.
Any idea what I can do from here? The update should already be downloaded to my phone, is there any way I can easy launch the update file, and see if that might fix it?
EDIT - Uh oh. I did a factory reset and the software update app is still crashing. Not good..

Try to use XDABBEB's way to get to 24A as it'll allow you to 1) Hotspot, 2) install any 24A compatible ROMS, 3) excellent camera mods, 4) great battery life due to Linaro kernel, 5) fix "download mode" to allow KDZ back to stock in future in case you want to return phone.
Alternatively, you could KDZ back to 24A stock, root with IOROOT25, and then install recovery with AUTOREC by Cloudyfa and start over (allowing you to install any 24A compatible roms with Malladus and XDABBEB's roms having hotspot hack builtin)

Shouldn't a factory reset have put me back to stock? I'm wondering if there's just a corrupt update file or something.. and that's what's causing my system updater to crash. Any idea where the update files are stored when the system downloads them?

Nope, factory reset only delete your data so "SYSTEM" and other partitions won't be fixed.

This thread belongs in Q&A not development.
As Huey stated, use the lg flash tool and either tot back to 12b then take the OTA, or just use the 24a kdz to go strait to 24a.

Well crap.
Is there any difference between flashing the stock rom that my phone shipped with (VS98012B) and then running OTA update, versus flashing the 24A rom?

Try flashing 24a first, if it doesn't work you can always factory restore.

**Safestrap-I537Active-3.75-KitKat.apk w/Working ROM Slots!**

See here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=56119330&postcount=336
Please use this thread in the General Section for non-development related discussion.

When time permits, I'll give it a shot. Kind of funny I'm going to uninstall my old (disabled ROM slot) Safestrap v. 3.73 for a newer Safestrap with the same version number.
Would my older TWRP Safestrap backups work in different slots to switch from NH3 to NE3 and then back again? Just curious if the locked bootloader would allow that, not that I have any inclination to revert from NH3 to NE3, because NH3 works better for me.
@muniz_ri, you've helped me out quite a bit in the past. Thank you for this SafeStrap slot development. You really should include a "Donate" link in your profile. :good:
Also, is it still advisable to flash the Safestrap i537_kitkat_masterpatch-v.2.zip?

Is the i537_kitkat_masterpatch-v.2.zip needed? It is referred to in the first post of the OP here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2791564
with a download link here: https://www.androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=15875
Asking if this ...masterpatch-v2 is needed or not because of the following problems.
1. Safestrap slots were working although shutdown was problematic with 'long push'.
2. Within Safestrap, it failed to install i537_Update.zip with Slot-1 active. This .zip, thanks to @Devo7v, can be found in the first post of the OP here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2629093, under the heading I537UCUCNH3 (4.4.2) Released 2014-09-25 - OFFICIAL
Unofficial Flashable Zip 127MB (can only be flashed through SafeStrap) FYI, this zip matched its MD5 signature.
I also had over 6Gb of internal storage available.
Has anyone successfully installed i537_Update.zip with this 'fixed' version of SafeStrap into an extra ROM slot?
In the meantime I am back to rooted NH3 along with "disabled single Stock slot" version of Safestrap.

I think you're a little bit confused about what the i537_Update.zip is for. That zip file updates your stock NE3 firmware to NH3. It will update system files, the modems, and parts of the kernel. It should not be used on any custom ROMs or ROM slots. It should only be used to update your stock ROM. The reason it was posted is because if you are currently rooted on NE3 firmware, you cannot install the official OTA update without completely wiping your phone and returning to stock NE3. The i537_Update.zip bypasses the signature checks in the OTA and allows you to update your phone from NE3 to NH3 whether you're rooted or not.
I haven't used the newest version of SafeStrap but I'm almost certain you would need to flash the masterpatch-v2 after flashing a custom ROM to a new ROM slot. The masterpatch allows the custom ROM to access certain functions of your stock kernel; without it you're probably going to have issues with your wifi and camera on your new ROM. Hopefully I was able to clear things up and not confuse you even more.

Works with custom rom
I got Hyperdrive v19 working with rom slot. I flashed the masterpatchv2 and everything seems to be working. Starting this process I had rooted stock NE3 and removed the old safestrap as instructed. Installed the new safestrap, created rom slot, and flashed rom and patch. Install was simple with no problems.
If anyone has questions I can give more details or help troubleshoot.

I've tried installing SS 'til the cows came home and not having any luck. Even ran the SELinux mode changer (set to permissive) and tried the install again. I'm rooted on 4.4.2/NH3. I've scanned the threads but haven't seen any answers pop out for me. The popups in the SS app say it was installed successfully, but the State continually says "Not installed".

Do you have xposed framework installed? Did you make sure to temporarily uninstall it before installing safestrap? I hit my head against a wall for a few days before I realized that one, myself.

Nope, don't have xposed installed. Can't figure this one out!
Thinking about just pulling the apk apart and shoving the bits in where they "belong" (effectively reversing the manual SS uninstall steps).
But it's way too late at night for me to think about that right now.

Ahh, my bad. I had just assumed (and you know what they say about that) that since it was the same version and from androidfilehost, that it was the first one I had grabbed.
This one installed successfully and it just finished creating rom-slot-1 for me!
Doing a backup of the base rom... then on to installing hyperdrive into rom-slot-1 and applying masterpatchv.2. Am I missing any steps there or is it really that simple now?
Update: Installed HD 18.1, insalled master patch.2, enabled USB debugging so I could enter APN settings. Still had the camera FC, speakerphone wouldn't work and wi-fi would not turn on.
Going back to stock and restoring my backup for now... will have to try this again later.

A little more specific? Don't see either of those files sitting around on my phone (which is back to running stock).
I packaged up my own zip last night adding in all of the /etc/wifi files and also updated the dhd.ko and scsi_wait_scan.ko files in there (the ones in the masterpatch zip were outdated when compared with my stock versions). But it was all to no avail.

[ROM] 5.0.2 Stock-ROM - LG D415 L90

I am not responsible for bricked devices. Follow these steps at your own RISK! :angel:
Flashing this ROM will install the STOCK Android 5.0.2 OS From LG & T-Mobile.
This is only intended for use on the LG L90 D415 (T-Mobile Variant)
I've tested and everything works just fine. Just be sure to flash the SuperSU zip I've also provided. otherwise you WILL lose root!
I ASSUME YOU ALREADY HAVE BEEN FLASHING ROMS ON YOUR DEVICE AND ALREADY HAVE A CUSTOM RECOVERY INSTALLED!
I'm currently running a TWRP flashable version of the Official Lollipop update for the D415 L90 Optimus, or as I call it, the LollipOptimus! LOL
Rooted and all!
In post #3 there are links to my downloads. :laugh:
thanks to: @DevoutDevelopment for advice!
& @shoxxy for twrp!
Thanks to LG for updating this mid-range device!
Thank you to the L90 community! :highfive: You guys ROCK!

Contributors
brossovitch
ROM OS Version: 5.0.x Lollipop
ROM Kernel: Linux 3.4.x
ROM Firmware Required: LGE L90 D415 (w7)
Based On: Stock LG/TMO OTA
Version Information
Status: Stable
Current Stable Version: D415-LolliSTOKK
Stable Release Date: 2015-04-15
Created 2015-04-09
Last Updated 2015-04-15

Reserved
For this Rom to flash and function properly you need:
An LG Optimus D415 (T-Mobile USA) which has a custom recovery installed.
As far as the boot loader being unlocked.... I never had the LG bootloader to begin with, only fastboot.
The current functioning ROM is FULL stock. You must flash SuperSU before rebooting or you will lose ROOT!
**************INSTRUCTIONS*****************
First download all three files in the next post. they are:
1. ROM Zip (LG/TMO packed by me.)
2. SuperSU update Zip (Mediafire)
3. TWRP.img (shoxxy)
++Ensure you have TWRP installed.++
Then do this:
1. Reboot into TWRP (CWM works too, I reccomend Shoxxys TWRP)
2. Flash ROM
4. Flash SuperSU zip to keep ROOT
5. Factory reset via TWRP
6. Reboot
You're DONE!
It will take several minutes to begin booting, be patient. You MAY see the LG logo for a minimum of 5 minutes, don't freak out!
************************************************** ************************************************** **************************************************
FRIENDLY HEADS UP:
The Stock ROM file is more than 1GB (1.07gb actually) so you'll need to have enough free space on your SDcard.
YES, I reccomend flashing it from the External SD Card.
******************************************************
Stock LG Lollipop unrooted?
Just follow this simple tutorial:
http://highonandroid.com/android-smartphones/how-to-root-lg-g-flex-2-g2-g3-on-lollipop/
*****************************************
If you need a way to install TWRP from the device and you are rooted I HIGHLY recommend RASHR:

Godspeed to you all. PM me if you have issues. But I'm not responsible for your decisions!

LollipOptimus™
I have put together a modified version of this ROM. It's the stock OS with many changes..
Debloated and trimmed to where it is as MY daily driver..
It's stable, smooth, and functional. There are many things removed, like the quick memo app and quick remote app, I will not put them back in. You could just trial and error debloat the system on your own, like I did this week..
Anyway, here's the ROM:
https://mega.co.nz/#!B4EEXZxZ!40XcuPjeFMUVcW0TpAOeQwVkuZNNCzs9OtH9V-TJVl4
There will be updates made periodically. It's not fully done yet, IMO.
Make a nandroid before flashing this! Just in case!
Let me know immediately if there are any issues!

I'm so ready for this. I can finally have my camera back.

This is gonna be too good. Thanks for all the legwork so lazy bums like myself can enjoy the goodness.

This ROM is amazing. LG is really out doing themselves!

Nope, none of that.
I will say this, @Quarx has a Lollipop CWM recovery if you're worried about recovery compatibility....
I honestly prefer to use the FLAWLESS TWRP from @shoxxy .........I mean, it's simply the best!
I flashed via TWRP with no problems whatsoever/
I flash the ZIP, then SuperSU.zip, then just to be extra safe I reflashed the TWRP.IMG from recovery.
then I rebooted recovery to ensure TWRP was installed.
then simply rebooted the system...
everything worked great so far.
I just want to test it a few more times and make sure I don't kill anyone elses device. I had a WiFi only phone for a good 7hrs. nobody should have to deal with that.
I bricked this device several times today already, i need to ensure everything is working well before I have someone test.
I currently have a few people in mind to test. if they agree and try it out with no problems, it will be free for the taking!

Should I leave it stock with GApps? or remove all the GApps so users can flash their own..?

I say remove all gapps so we can flash our own.
Might give a little bit of freedom for the users. But I don't really care! I wanna try this out!

no, i mean that you are creating flashable 5.0.2, that will be flashing from recovery on 4.4.2 phone аnd after flashing recovery still properly working? It is?
But the official firmware via LG Support tool reflashes boot, aboot,laf,recovery,system folder etc. Does this mean that your firmware flashes only kernel, folders systems and data, but first levels of loading(like aboot) stay from older 4.4.2?

No, this ROM will flash all those, then just flash SUPERSU and TWRP right behind it. it typically works. Try it out.
I uploaded a BETA, be careful!

Anyone know what's in the Verizon Update pushed on 4/12? OTA XT1096

I'm wondering if it's worth it. Version 23.201.2.en.us

I'm not sure, but here it is:
https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/12873062/Blur_Version.23.201.2.victara_verizon.verizon.en.US.zip
Is there a way to flash this onto a rooted phone? I unlocked my XT1096 a couple of months ago and installed Teamwin then flashed SuperSU.

I need some help on this too. I heard it's just a security update but it fails for me because I'm rooted and deleted a bunch of apps. Is there any way to take the OTA update?

To take the ota you have to reflash the full 5.1 firmware for verizon.
You can't have root nor a modified sytem for OTAs to work. So you need back all those apps you removed and get rid of root.

I've put together a debloated TWRP flashable version. It's here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=66354183&postcount=1057
Please review the first post in that thread as the ROM is partially debloated and has SuperSU and Xposed pre-installed. GApps have been removed and you need to install your own. It is possible with the files posted to have a full stock install but you'll need the instructions from that thread to accomplish that.

Which of these files would I want to flash, if I'm running stock firmware (rooted with SuperSU flashed)? The update from Verizon is ~20 MB, but you have a 30MB modem firmware and 398K bootloader.

Ok, those files are for the stock based rom that I maintain. You need to read the first post in that thread to understand what it is. SuperSU and Xposed are preinstalled, GApps are removed and you have to install your own. If you want a full stock install, that is also possible with the files posted, it's all explained there.
The file sizes are different because the Verizon patch has some full files like gpt.bin and fsg.mbm but the rest is just small patches to apply to the exisiting files. The first thing the Verizon patch does is check that you have the correct original files and if not, it aborts; you can't apply the patch if you've modified system by installing SuperSU, etc. My patches have the gpt.bin update seperate for ease of putting the files together, the firmware has the fsg.mbm file from the Verizon patch and then the full modem partition from my phone after applying the patch instead of just the patch files. That way the patches can be applied no matter what is on your phone now but they are much larger files.

Thanks mikeoswego. I flashed the two smaller files you provided using TWRP. Are those the only 2 zip files I need? I didn't see anything specific to a kernel or anything.
I am on rooted stock rom where I deleted a bunch of apps I didn't want.

It turns out that when I flash the two .zip files, my Moto X still thinks there is a system update available. Is there something else I'm supposed to flash?

Thanks.. it doesn't seem like I can install just the update. I'd need to flash the whole ROM. Correct?

The two smaller zips are the bootloader and modem firmware, the rom and kernel are in the xt1096-5.1-23.32-25-5-2_1.zip file. You could extract the boot.img file from the zip and flash it with fastboot. If you want the full ROM and want to flash SuperSU yourself and remove whatever bloat yourself, then use xt1096-full-stock-23.32-25-5-2.img.7z file; you can flash the image file within that archive with current versions of fastboot. (Or, using 7zip, you could delete the system.img file from xt1096-5.1-23.32-25-5-2_1.zip then rename the .img file in xt1096-full-stock-23.32-25-5-2.img.7z to system.img and place it in xt1096-5.1-23.32-25-5-2_1.zip. Then you would TWRP flash that, it would update your kernel (boot.img) and install the system partition just as if you took the OTA on the stock system.) Like AGISCI said above, the only way to use the OTA directly is on an unmodified stock system.

Forgive me, I'm not really following you. I don't know what's in the OTA exactly. Is there anything in your post that I can flash that will update my system to the latest version without wiping everything and starting from scratch?

You must flash the full firmware like was mentioned earlier. It is impossible to do the update with a modified system.

I'm wondering if there is a way to not take the update. I keep getting a nag message about installing the update and I keep pushing reminder out to a new time.
A little background. I have a XT1096 (Verizon version) and unlocked the bootloader and rooted. I also nuked a bunch of bloatware so there is no way that a OTA update will install. I'm not sure that I really want to go back to stock and start over.

I flashed the system .img file and it just updated my system without wiping anything. Seems to be working fine, but I had to reflash SuperSU.

I found a way to not take the update. Use your favorite applications manager for root to freeze MotorolaOTA and the update won't be downloaded and you won't get messages about installing the update.

System Update with Bootloader unlocked via Sunshine

Hello out there I looked for a thread on this subject and I didn't see one so I apologize to the mods if this has been covered.. Anyways today I received a notification for a System update on my Turbo. I haven't tried to install it yet. Right now my bootloader is unlocked via the Sunshine apk I have TWRP installled as my custom recovery and I have root. Basically I'm running stock but rooted. What is the upgrade procedure. I'm pretty sure the update will fail with twrp installed. Is there a set procedure everyone is using... Thanks in advance

Backup apps via titanium backup, and save off the phone. Backup all personal files, pics etc, off the phone. Flash a stock ROM in TWRP, wipe dalvik & cache. Then flash stock '49' recovery using ADB. Power up normally & take update. It should execute flawlessly. You could also flash the stock firmware for marshmallow via RSDlite, but that will wipe your data off the phone. Bootloader will still remain unlocked so you can Flash TWRP back on afterwards. Root can only be restored by flashing a particular beta version in TWRP. Better details and download links in the XDA forum thread for droid turbo.

USE THE TWRP-FLASHABLE VERSION OF UPDATE

Congratulations on having an unlocked bootloader! No need to do all that above, unless you really want. There's also a TWRP-flashable version on that update already posted in this forum. Just flash it in TWRP. It's the full update, minus stock recovery so you can keep TWRP and also flash it in TWRP!
@TheSt33v, who wrote the guide in this forum about unlocking the Droid Turbo bootloader is who posted it, so you can trust it.
[ROM] MCG24.251-5 100% Stock
https://forum.xda-developers.com/droid-turbo/development/rom-mcg24-251-5-100-stock-t3512949
All updates like that will ALWAYS be posted here in various formats. Never any need to take an OTA. That's one of the great things about XDA.
