"Could not install" update

Hi,
My phone's current build number is 12.0.A.2.254
I've downloaded 12.1.A.1.205 but 30 s after restarting and installing it says "Could not install" and then I have to download it again and repeats.
How do I fix this?

Are you rooted and/or have xposed installed? And you're talking about OTA right?

Oh my phone is rooted and have SuperSU? OTA means through my phone right? If so yea it's not via my pc.
On SuperSU there is a "Full Unroot" option which says "Cleanup for permanent unroot"
Will the update work after it's unrooted and will I loose all my setting and app data if I do this?

If you don't know what root is, you don't have it
If you have xposed installed, Uninstall the bridge, then your OTA may work. Use supersu survival mode, not root cleanup

My phone is on 4.1.2 though, can I use the ones listed under 4.3?

If you want 4.3 use 4.3 Rom
For 4.1.2 Use 4.1.2 Rom
Flashtool dont care what version you want to use
I was upgrading mine from 4.1.2 to 4.3 using flashtool and Stock 4.3 ftf and i have Locked Bootloader so if this metod would be faulty i would end with brick instead of phone
P.S This will make CLEAN install of 4.3 You wil LOSE ALL your data, apps and stuff on System and Data Partition (Build in 5,3Gb Partition).

[Q] Verizon Maintenance Update KXA21.12-L1.26-3

So this morning I got this maintenance update and now I'm being told that an update is available and that this install is differed. When I click on "select to continue update" I'm told my system is up to date. I've already wiped cache, which did not help. Anyone else experiencing this?

Are you unlocked and rooted?

Nope, totally stock Verizon 4.4.4. I'm so far out of the loop, I didn't even know I could unlock and root in the first place.

Anyone have a fxz for this update? I have it too, but I am rooted with twrp.

There does not appear to be an FXZ for this.
You can try flashing stock Recovery.img onto your phone and take it. Unlike other OTA's that failed due to Xposed, this one did not give me any issues installing with Xposed still enabled.
NOTE: I'm unlocked bootloader, rooted, running TWRP, with Xposed instaled (MotoXNetActivity module installed). I haven't made any other modifications. I only run apps that require root like AdFree, wifi tether for root, Root Explorer, etc.

Thanks, I think this answered my questions in the other thread.
Is there a risk to try running the update with stock recovery and other Xposed modules like Gravity Box? Would they fail similarly to a failed system check like I've had in the past for removing/renaming system apps and such?

Oxygen OS 3.2.1 Released

Usual 48h to hit devices thing is probably in effect here swell but i'm sure the VPN trick will work for most if you're impatient or waiting for this fix for your SIM issue.
The changelog seems to have added just the SIM fix but for some reason the changelog on the phone says there's more Notification fixes but have to wait and see on that
Here are some of the highlights:
Fixed some notification issues
Addressed SIM recognition issue
Enabled sRGB mode in developer options
Improved RAM management
Improved GPS performance
Enhanced audio playback quality
Updated custom icon packs
Improved camera quality/functionality
Fixed some issues in Gallery
Implemented latest Google security patches
Fixed bugs in Clock/Music apps

When I'm trying to install the ota update I'm getting an error 7 in TWRP. TWRP, root and xposed are systemless. Do I have to unroot to install the OTA?

Are you using the System Update option on the phone to install or the Zip file? either way normally any changes to the system will make OTA fail (like root and xposed)

Actually no. You don't have to unroot but you need to flash stock boot.img . Better option always is to flash Full 3.2.0 ROM twice (sometimes first flash doesn't succeed) and then 3.2.0 -> 3.2.1 OTA immediately and then SuperSU and Xposed. Or wait for Full ROM mirror. Will take me some 20 minutes more. I am downloading it at the moment.

Yes, I tried to install the downloaded ota file via TWRP. Guess I have to download the whole 1.2 GB to get the 15MB update.

can you explained it in detail.which notification issues?

Sorry for the question, just to be clear:
I install the full ROM in twrp, install it again without rebooting and after that immediately SuperSU?
Do I have to wipe Cache/Dalvik?
After that I reboot and all the apps are still there?

Spotted this and just VPNd it my self.
Fingers crossed i get less drain over night

If you install the full 3.2.1 rom just install it once, then supersu and THEN wipe cache/dalvik. Your apps will be still there he just needs to optimize them at the start(might take 10 minutes).
If you want to use this "trick" to install 3.2.1 OTA over a 3.2.0 full rom, i have no clue. But i would rather install the full rom. I tried it with the OTA last time and it didn't worked.

daclaus, you have to install the complete rom via twrp, after that you have to install root and xposed again. ota will not work with twrp.

How to disable system updates?

I have OEM non-rooted phone with original 4.4.4 Android.
Phone keeps bugging me about installing the latest OTA Lollipop update it downloaded over WiFi even without my permission.
How would I disable it? Apparently with possible MMC Fail I don't want any updates installed.

1.non root method
If you dont want to root You can download "package disabler pro" app ftom playstore and disable "software update" from apps list.
2.Root method
Root your phone and install titanium backup app from playstore then from titanium backup app search in app list "software update" click on it and hit freeze.
For root you can use kingroot app since you are on kitkat or Twrp recovery+supersu method.
Hope this wil help.

Thanks! #1 worked like charm

Not only the "Software Update" but also the "System Update" (in some ROMS like the Jasmine 3).
Also, you want to delete the 400M update file /cache/fota/update.zip

Why dont you want to uodate?
I just picked up a t-mobile note 4. Currently on EPG2 baeband, Should I be concerned with firmware updates?

Can't install the June update (software update unsuccessful)

Okay so i did a clean install of the stock rom (Pie) with May update. Flashed all the files and was finally at the home screen. Got a notification for June security patch and i installed it immediately. Keep in mind till now no modifications were done to the phone including rooting, the rom is stock, clean and without any modifications. The only thing unlocked is my bootloader.
I observed when the update reaches around 80% it says update unsuccessful. No changes were made to the system. I tried downloading the update again, rebooting, formating/wiping data both via stock recovery as well as TWRP, factory reset. Even tried updating without SD-card just in case. Again flashed the full stock rom but to no avail, the update was not successful.
Any ideas why i can't apply june update and how am i supposed to solve this? Thanks

I have no ported apps. As i said, its stock rom with no modifications. I didn't install any app from anywhere. The only apps i have in my phone are pre-installed apps which come with the stock rom such as Google Drive, Play Books.. I even tried clearing the data of the pre-installed apps but still no update. Also today i tried flashing the retail version of the stock rom with may security update. I think there is an issue as i flashed the retail version of the rom, the about section from the settings app still shows software channel as "Retin". Shouldn't it be showing retail version

You have to flash the first pie update (November patch) and then you can do updates.
