I am rooted, unlocked, and S-offed and running a custom GPE+ 5.0.1 ROM. I have an unpinnable notification that says "System Update Downloaded: Android L Upgrade for User/Release-Keys". It is an OTA update obviously, but doesn't even say what version it is. I believe I cannot install it because I am running a custom ROM, is that correct? If not, is there any way to install it? Otherwise, how can I get this notification to stop appearing? The update is ~300MB downloaded and I would love to have that space back. Also I think it is keeping my device awake because I use the Xposed mod "Notification Count" and it says the darn thing has sent out a notification a whopping 463 times since my last reboot - within 3-4 hours!. That is insane.
Any help will be appreciated.
EDIT: Woke up the next morning, and now the notification count for this stupid thing is "999+". WTF. Why does it have to be so insistent? Anybody have a solution to this?
A week passed and no response. Bump. Nobody has any idea how to get rid of this thing??

Is updating your custom rom to 5.1+ an option? Already many custom roms were updated to 5.1 even 5.1.1.
Interesting. Last time I checked there wasn't a 5.1 version. But it seems the dev recently implemented an initial version: http://forum.xda-developers.com/ver...m-google-play-edition-lollipop-v1-00-t2963841
The current version of 5.1 of this ROM has some known bugs and I would like to hold off until they are fixed - I like having ambient display. Is it worth waiting until they are fixed, or should I just update now?
Is it safe for me to flash the 5.1 ROM over the 5.0.1 without doing even a cache wipe?

Don't even know what rom it is so its hard to answer. If you prefer a stable rom they yes, you should wait a little more.

You should ask this one in your rom thread, sometime when the update is considered a major update, its recommend to do a full wipe, in some cases you are fine just updating without wiping. You could do a nandroid backup using your custom recovery (save it on your computer, not just on the phone) try to update without wiping. If its working fine, there is no problem, if not you can wipe your phone and restore your backup.
To disable the notification, I would try to go in settings --> apps --> all, search for the updater service, clear cache of that service and then disable it. Then find where the ota file is stored on your phone and delete it. Not sure if it will work, never tried myselef
Is there a way to do a nandroid backup directly to pc? Because I don't have room on my phone, and TWRP Manager only lets internal backups take place.
For some reason I can't search the apps in my ROM. The notification says it is from Google Play Services but I suspect that is simply routed requests from the actual updater service. Do you know what the name of the service is, so I can find it? I have a crazy number of apps and can't find it.
Hi Koolstr,
I know this thread is old, but wanted to let you know I am on an unlocked and rooted HTC One (m7) S-On. I am using TWRP and can backup to external storage using a Micro USB Powered Micro USB Host OTG cable, which I purchased from Amazon.
I am running:
Android version: 5.1
Rom: Google-Plus-Edition-LP_m7_v3.2_072915
Kernel: 3.4.10-NuK3rn3l-Lollipop_v8.00
I am getting a similar Android System Update: Android L upgrade for user/release-keys. I cannot get it to go away. I made a complete nandroid backup and then proceeded applying the update. It will reboot the phone into TWRP recovery and do nothing. The update goes away for a few days and then it comes back. I have tried to look for a way to disable the update, but I am at a stand still. If anyone knows that would be great.
Best,
manderson706
It's something that santod did. I believe there's a post in his topic with the fix. Or just flash the updated GPE from santod

Okay, so here's the deal.
I have an AT&T HTC One that was running 4.4 Kit Kat (Click: this ROM) and is S-OFF via RumRunner. I am running the latest TWRP recovery.
Yesterday I got prompted for an OTA and accepted it (in the past, with GPE ROMs, it would just reboot to recovery and do nothing). This is the only way I know of to get rid of the annoying "System update available" notification. I figured it wouldn't do anything and I would simply reboot and be good for a few more days until it prompted again. Low and behold, it actually updated my phone to 4.4.2.
Now, I'm having some issues.
I was a user of DashClock Widget...but now I use Better DashClock. However, this app is now prompting me to download a key. When I try to download the key from the Play Store, I get the message:
Error: Couldn't install on USB storage or SD Card.
SwiftKey Keyboard has the same issue.
Other apps (such as ES File Explorer, ESPN, Fandango, etc. update just fine).
-------------
I have read a bunch of posts that suggest cleaning up temp files (which don't exist on my phone) and to download SELinux Mode Changer and change the mode to Passive...but to no avail.
Can someone help me? Is this the developers issue or did my phone do something wonky?
Thanks!
Exactly the same problem here. I've narrowed it down to paid apps that won't install. Followed the same possible solutions in the 1st post, nothing works. HTC One GE 4.4.2.

I had a similar problem. I downloaded the 4.4.2 OTA update and tried flashing it with TWRP three different times. All three times I got that same error message with some apps. It was extremely frustrating. I ended up flashing the stock 4.4 recovery and then flashing the update. It worked perfectly and the problem went away. I then reflashed TWRP.

I had a similar experience. Paid apps would not install from Play Store. Amazon app store or F-Droid apps would install.
But my journey was that I had a 4.4 GPE device suffering through an issue where I can't get my bootloader to unlock. So when 4.4.2 came out I wasn't getting the OTA so I tried flashing just the firmware package from the OTA download. That's when I was getting this error (after a factory reset).
But then next day I got the real OTA and after that the problem went away. So for me it was a firmware issue in that it wasn't the right firmware for my OS.
Weird that you are running 4.4.2 but having this issue. Any chance you didn't come to have 4.4.2 the "natural" way?

Yeah...my process was as natural as possible.
I was on 4.3 at first...so when I was going to 4.4 KitKat I first flashed back to some basic stock Sense ROM to run RumRunner and attain S-OFF. Then I COMPLETELY NUKED my phone and went to 4.4 KitKat. Had no problems, got the OTA, and now this.
It's aggravating, that's for sure.
I really don't want to completely wipe my phone again and have to re-setup all of my home screens, etc.
I received the OTA which installed despite me having TWRP, not stock recovery (as per http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=48586329). Now I have the same issue installing paid apps (the ones I had already installed before the OTA disappeared off the device).
Short of starting from scratch, I'm at a bit of a loss for a solution...
Nick
Sounds like this is wide-spread...or at least amongst the people who are running newer GPE ROMs on their Ones.
im having the exact same issues here

It looks like this is all to do with custom recovery and OTA updates. I have TWRP installed. This morning I flashed stock recovery. I then put the OTA update file on the phone storage. Then booted into the stock recovery (which is the first time I've seen it, it would be nice if it was the last as it's tricky to get into), then flashed the 4.2.2. update from there. Once I booted the phone again all my paid apps reappeared. No data lost in the process. I'm not sure if going back to TWRP not will cause the problem again, so for now I'll stick with stock recovery....

Also, you left 4.4.2 on the device and just 're-applied' the OTA update? Or did you go back to a NANDROID backup of you on 4.4 or 4.3?

Yeah, that's about it. I used adb to flash the stock recovery to replace TWRP, then used the stock recovery to flash the same update you linked to. After it was done updating I reflashed TWRP. And don't forget to make a nandroid.

What if you don't have an "apply from adb" option?
I have:
- reboot system now
- apply from sd card
- apply from phone storage
- apply from cache
- wipe data/factory reset
- wipe cache partition
Can't I just open a ADB shell while on the fastboot USB option?
Hi,
I've just upgraded the OS of my HTC One to 4.4 with Sense 5.5 and rooted the handset.
I took the majority of information and downloads from here:
http://htconeroot.com/htc-one-stock-roms/android-4-4-kitkat-sense-5-5-stock-rom-for-htc-one/
while the rooting stuff I grabbed from here:
http://htconeroot.com/htc-one-root/how-to-root-htc-one-windowsmaclinux/
So ok this is my 3rd OS upgrade with root so in a basic sense I did this:
- Updated TWRP to version 2.7.x
- Used TWRP recovery WIPE option to format / (root)
- Installed the 4.4 stock ROM from above link
- TWRP then asked me if I would like to root the device and so I said ok to that
- Booting into the OS everything was fine and I had the SU-Root icon in the Apps menu
I'm not sure what happened if the battery got drained or so but in anycase after a restart the handset was no longer rooted??
As I have the 2.65 SU-ROOT Zip file on my storage partition I went back to TWRP and Install then clicked on the Zip file and re-rooted the device; then wiped the cache and booted back into the OS.
For some reason now the phone isn't able to be rooted at all? I am pretty sure I had similar behavior with Android 4.3, though the initial stock build was absolutely fine.... I think I managed to get from 4.1 to 4.2 successfully.
Will I need to format the handset again then re-install the ROM and re-root or is something else going on which I'm unaware of??
I've also noticed that the device becomes un-rooted each time the battery goes low or dies for some reason... a persistent root would be nice as I have many apps needing full root access; not to mention being able to work with the full Android system too.
Would anyone be able to suggest anything? Thanks!

hi all, I'm a little lost on what to do. I'm trying to update my phone because I'm not receiving texts out of town (need to reset my phone to get them all every time).
My phone has the following:
android 4.2.2 vs98012b (verizon)
rooted w twrp installed (and I'm guessing some sort of ota block since it hasn't updated)
What I want to do is update my phone so it can get texts out of town so I'm thinking OTA? I've searched and found
VS98024A - OTA manual install + Patched Stock Kernels (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2699123), is this the way to go?
Is there a flash I can just use? I don't need the latest OTA or Android OS since I'm fine with what I'm using now (although that would be nice too).
anyways, a point in the right direction would be much appreciated. thanks!

You need to wipe your phone to out of the box stock to use that method, if you're gonna wipe clean, you might as well take the OTA's to the current version of android on our phones.
Another option is this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2715408
You would just need to update your baseband following the instructions in the post then install the rom via TWRP.
Either way you're gonna be wiping your phone clean.
Thank you. I went with the 2nd option and my phone is running great with the update.
Although it took awhile to reconfigure everything back.

Screen Shots Please....
I just updated last night. Everything running smoothly. I had the phone rooted previously but the one click root app got removed in the update process. If anyone has success rooting after the upgrade, I'd love to know about it.
I upgraded this morning and I've been having lots of issues with my installed apps, like Facebook, Messenger, Whatsapp and more, and of course I lost Root which was previously accomplished by KingRoot which doesn't work anymore.
Also I noticed that during the update process, particularly while flashing the firmware, it was flashed using my TWRP recovery and afterwards it got removed.
I'm sure that if I start fresh by performing a factory reset, all will be fluid and in working order, minus TWRP and Root of course, at least for the time being.
All in all, the update to Mashmellow seems to be awesome, some new features.
Cheers!
I'm having issues with the update. It downloads just fine and when I go ahead and try to install...it just spins around on "unzipping" and then proceeds to restart..or turn off for that matter. The phone turned off...I didn't do anything to it just let it sit there for a while and then I saw the charge icon show up (the one you see when the phone is off and charging) at which point I started the phone up. The phone did not update and I can basically repeat the process. There is 4.30 GB of space free and no SD card. What do I do?
EDIT:
So I tried again, kept at it and it eventually worked. Updated just fine but now there are doubles of all folders in the phone. When I plug it into my computer, all the folders (Music, Download etc etc) are showing up twice with the same contents in the each of them...
What...is...going...on?
Was pretty laggy at first. Decided back up my files and do a factory reset. Works much better now.

Anyone found a Root for Marshmellow yet?
Unless Blu changed something other than the interface I'd guess TWRP won't be working on MM anytime soon. It's a problem seen in the Gionee phone and I would expect the same to happen to the Blu. As for root and a custom recovery (although not a great one) you could try following these instructions: https://forum.hovatek.com/thread-15270.html
I've played a bit with the Gionee Marshmallow firmware on my Vivo XL during the past month or so, and one thing that really bugs me is that it seems to be shipping with a kernel that is way older than it should be on an MM release. And the OTA service that is known for leaking info also seemed to still be present in the updated firmware.
Can someone who's got the Blu update check if these two things are the same for the Blu release please? Enter device info in the settings menu and check the Kernel version for me. And, if you guys manage to get root, check if AdupOTA is still lurking in there.

Does anybody with TWPR/root upgraded to official 6.0 successfully? What's exact procedure/steps?
I have my Blu Vivo XL with TWRP now, in last (small) OTA update a few months ago, I tried flashing back to original recovery and rom, but still failed OTA.
I successfully rooted my droid (that came with lollipop), using this guide
https://forum.xda-developers.com/droid-turbo/general/guide-how-to-unlock-bootloader-install-t3292684
installed twrp backed up the stock OS and installed resurrection remix lollipop rom. I did not install any different modems or radios as I planned to stay on lollipop.
Everything worked great yet after a day or two the display/phone would appear to lock up. I can press power, the display doesn't come on and when (usually) moving the the volume up/down I do hear sounds. Sometimes at this point it will reboot by itself, other times I have to reboot it.
When it comes up it goes through the android is upgrading thing, and sometimes works fine after, sometimes not, regardless eventually this problem repeats.
Thinking it was perhaps RR I tried straight Cyanogenmod, and eventually the rooted stock OS, both have this same problem.
I've tried using it with very minimal installed in the way of apps, same issue.
I've tried saving the log to SD to peer at later, but going through it I don't really see anything obvious to show what the problem is.
I"m wondering if there's a problem with the phone itself (it's a refurb) and am considering unrooting it and returning it.
Anyone seen this or thoughts on what might be the issue?
p.s.
if you happen to have a good link handy to an unrooting guide you might shoot it my way thanks.
thanks in advance!
What versions of the other ROMs did you use? Lollipop also, or Marshmallow? Nougat? For rooted stock ROM did you upgrade to Marshmallow? None of the Lollipop ROMs are supported anymore, so hard to answer for those.
There are ways to grab logs after a reboot, but here's another suggestion...
I use Auto Reboot app (needs root) to schedule a reboot my phone every day while I'm asleep.
This seems to keep the cobwebs cleared out, so the phone runs better. I know you want to find the issue, but maybe it's an accumulation of apps not releasing RAM orb something. This might help prevent that.
thanks for the reply

Yeh I've been saving it to the SD so I can view it after a reboot, I've looked at 4 or 5 of them after the problem occurred and at least to me nothing really stood out

Yeh I expect it might periodically need a reboot but if it's just unpredictiably locking up or rebooting on its own it's not very usable.
I think I'm just going to have to try to unroot and return, maybe I'll go with a LG V20 as I don't want to have pay to re-root another one of these and possibly have same issue. Also the whole pay to have some app do something secret to my phone does leave me a bit uneasy.
Kind of a bummer as I'm actually pretty impressed with this device, fast, good battery, takes nice photos, only drawbacks for me are no removable SD and lack of LED notification, but I was willing to live without those given how good everything else was.
thanks
Same here,
I tried with different Roms 7.X, still blocking and display not turning on.
I'd appreciate some help.

Same here,
I tried with different Roms 7.X, still blocking and display not turning on.
I'd appreciate some help.
Thanks!

FWIW and in case it helps you or someone else, I seem to have fixed mine finally, here's what I did.
First I installed latest twrp (mod 4) https://androidfilehost.com/?w=files&flid=39562 (there's a thread on this twrp if you want tor read on it). That in itself didn't fix the issue but did finally let me format and got rid of an 'mkfs.f2fs: invalid option -- r, ERROR=1' type error I used to get.
I installed this stock zip from twrp as described in thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/droid-turbo/development/rom-su4tl-49-100-stock-t3390041
It would never actually boot it would shut my phone off not long after showing the boot screen, and I'm not sure if doing that was necessary or not.
Taking some suggestions from here:

I dug up the last official CM 13 snapshot:
https://www.google.com/search?q=cm-13.0-20161221-SNAPSHOT-ZNH5YAO3Y5-quark.zip

Wipe and installed with no gapps and voilà it would boot consistently. Without reinstalling I tried installing pico gapps and it would still boot though it took maybe 15 mins initially.
I want Nougat so I wiped and installed lineage-14.1-20180612-UNOFFICIAL-quark.zip from https://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-maxx/development/rom-t3494646 again no gapps and it also booted fine, whereas previously it would hang on booting. Without reinstalling ROM I tried installing opengapps nano and it would just hang.
I could then no longer get it to boot again, so I reinstalled CM13 no gapps, which booted fine, wipe and install lineage-14.1-20180612-UNOFFICIAL-quark.zip no gapps, and now it boots fine though currently it's taking a while.
I should perhaps note I took twrp backups inbetween steps whenever I had a working boot, (ex before installing gapps), but once the phone went back to hanging on boot, those restores didn't help. Only reflashing CM13 seemed to clear things up.
My ultimate goal is a LOS ish Nougat/Oreo ROM with no gapps using microg, and running tmobile, I'll see what I end up with.
