Hi guys fairly new to android been on ios since the beginning.
my problem is when I try to update from 4.2.2 to 4.3 OTA it downloads fine but when its installing gets about 25% done then phone reboots and I get error message "could not install software update please try again", tried it about 20 times in last couple of days just keep getting exact same error. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
Hi!
If you have CWM or TWRP installed, uninstall it and the update. as recovery prevents OTA from completing.

Waiting for good news. :fingers-crossed:
Great news I am on 4.3 with root via OTA. Yes it did work!
So what you must do: Flash .534 via flashtool, then root, then OTA (with ota survival mode enabled) to 4.3!
Don't do anything else like disable system apps, only what I said in this post!

You are correct mate it is only partial root

rooted partially
Basically I would not consider it rooted as when using flashtool, busybox was unable to be installed.
Can't even edit build.prop
not rooted via OTA
Agreed, unable to edit build.prop to add in my net.hostname for the LAN. So wouldn't consider it a root at all.
Anyone found a way to root without unlocking the bootloader?
help update failed
Can anyone help me please have flashed my c6903 back to 534 then rooted I don't have Cwm I am on stock recovery and . Have tried to update with voodoo temp unroot and also survival mode in such but each time the installation fails am.I missing something thanks

If you have rooted 24A with a stock recovery, you can take the OTA and retain root..
Ok so I figured I'd ask here instead of making a new thread since it's sort of relevant. Hope not to thread jack. I have a vs980 rooted on 24a with stock rom and twrp. My phone tried to update to 25b yesterday and I canceled it by switching from WiFi to 4g. 2 questions I have are can I take the update and stay the same or not yet since I have twrp? And 2 it started downloading automatically, if I can't take the update is there a way to keep it from downloading again? Thanks in advance.

1) It won't install without the factory recovery.
2) You have to remove/disable/freeze the updater app to stop it from prompting you. (I don't remember the exact name of it)
So there really isn't any harm in letting it download since it won't install without factory recovery? I'll check the apps I have frozen again I thought I froze it, but maybe not. Thanks. Do you know if it's simply called system updates?
Software Update is the app name people are freezing using Titanium, don't know what the .apk is, I have a debloated rom currently. You should be able to find and rename the .apk for Software Update to stop it.
I've been using ultimate backup lite and I have a system update app I could freeze just wanted to make sure it was the right one. Tried to post a picture, but I don't have enough seniority.
is ioroot still the best rooting tool?
Also when I take 25 will I have to reinstall twrp?

Did you do this personally? I have stock rooted 24A now. I am using xposed and other root apps. Will the OTA effect any of that?

December 17, 2014 OTA 5.1 arrive at my Google Nexus 5 running stock, no root.
You are a little lost. Is 5.0.1 not 5.1. Be carefull with your writing.
just downloaded and installed.... only to get ...
"error"
plus a picture of an android lying on its back
phone unresponsive
a few minutes later it rebooted, still in 5.0
Yep, 5.01 OTA came to me about 1 hr. ago and installed with no issues!
EDIT: Sorry, should have stated my N5 is completely stock.
Yep. Got my update about an hour ago also. No issues.

my nexus is unlocked and rooted. but im running the stock rom. i rooted my phone just to tether my wifi. so i havent really changed anything. so i need to know if i DO the ota update, will it do something to my phone. i didnt quite understand what you meant in what you said.
was saying that the last time I did not have a problem KK to L, now to update 5.0.1 if you gave me error, taking the stock and root

after about 10 minutes, the "update available" option returns
rebooted again, same outcome - "error"
i don't have much space on the device (500mb) so i'm going to free up some space and try again...
I'm pretty sure you need to revert to stock, unrooted and locked for the ota to work without issues...

I've never rooted my Nexus 5 (embarrassed to say)... first device that I didn't feel the need to
I've now got tons of spare space... 3rd attempt... downloads, starts to update, wait 20 seconds, then a nice picture of an Android on its back and an "Error!"...
You could try wiping your cache partition before trying again?

Don't be embarrassed! Like you, I never felt the need to with my Nexus 5... my previous HTC Desire and HTC Desire S however were another story... I just hate HTC Sense with a passion after using the Nexus!
Tried 2 sideload OTA (adb reboot bootloader, then (when my Nexus 5 is in recovery mode and after tellin him "apply update from ADB") adb sideload 785a2f7af3718dba7e569decde8b6c4dc476a309.signed-hammerhead-LRX22C-from-LRX21O.785a2f7a.zip) , Error !
Unroot usin supersu unroot, Error !
Google sent me OTA by air (3 times), Error !
In order 2 wash without data loss, I tried Skipsoft Android Toolkit washin, then I put out android Avast (then sideload again), Error !
I wiped cache...
Then Google sent me OTA (4th), Error !
Do U know some right way (except factory reset) ?
Got mine a few hours ago and installed without issue. its tough to say if it fixed anything since I wasn't having any real issues outside of Chromes performance being terrible and the occasional screen redraw. Seems faster but that might be placebo or just that my caches were cleared with the update.
Worse is I kwow where is the bug : reading /cache/recovery/last_log.x tells that :
.../...
Verifying current system...
failed to stat "/system/bin/install-recovery.sh" : No such file or directory
etc...
(Somebody stole file before...)
As far as I know you must not have custom kernel, custom recovery or be rooted for the OTA to be applied correctly
Got mine this afternoon, in BC Canada only 13.3 mb downloaded and installed with no issues, stock, no root, unlocked boot loader. I always wait a bit after a major update before doing anything to my phone since you know the bug fix is always coming shortly after.

Not sure what this is yet. Non rooted, stock image.
5.1.1?? Will report back...
Not 5.1.1
No idea as they haven't posted changelog, but hopefully a fix for MicroCell issues everyone is experiencing.
Let us know if you see any changes.
Update downloaded.
Real upgrade from OE2 to OF3. Thats all it says.
@Globalrebel where are you looking for change logs?
Update just finished. Yeah Android version is still 5.0.2. Baseband G925AUCU2AOF3 now.
Getting it now.

You mean since 5.1.1 was supposed to hit the S6's "in June?"
This is getting ridiculous, we need an update from 5.0.2, the memory issues I'm dealing with even on XtreStoLite are almost unbearable
Exactly and as updates for 5.1 come out for other carriers we get updates for random att crap that are almost a month old
It's sad to say that the latest AT&T OTA patches the export for ping pong root, don't take the OTA, because you cannot downgrade the Odin fails

They know because it says on the Ping Pong Root thread not to update for anything past May 15th as the method for root has been patched
I'm curious if there are any other undocumented changes besides the 2 official changes listed earlier. It feels like a fairly big patch for a fix to an phone location and a kernel security fix.
Is there any hope, luck or signs of achieving root on this new firmware

Wow, what a crappy push out by AT&T.
In any case, what process do i need to freeze in TB to stop my phone from trying to download and/or annoying me with that pop-up when it does happen?

AT&T Software Update is the main one, but there are a few others - I don't have an AT&T ROM on mine right now to help out, but it's been posted a few times already (I think I even posted those once)
Just freeze att software update. Then it can't even run so no downloads. I got lucky I clicked on update after reading it in Android central but didn't want to install it. Postponed couple of times but somehow it automatically loaded the update process. I was like sh#t. When it booted up it said a problem updating. And then I blocked the updater. My root almost gone lol

According to Slim, root is broken on the new update. They also changed the bootloader so you can't downgrade. They apparently want everyone to update to the new software.

Of course they do... they don't want folks rooting... Sammy knows what's up... if they were decent they'd give us a bootloader unlock to make up for rushing the devices to market to beat Apple on the release date (which is already cracked smh) and catch a few more percent of market share...

I was able to root. You just can not take the new update, it will prevent root and will not be able to revert back to the old firmware..

For clarification,you were able to root a replacement note 7?
I read,somewhere, that the update starts when you power it on the first time. I am hoping to root mine immediately to avoid the update.

Yes you are correct. The update starts to download when you power up the phone, but you can pause the download or postpone it for later install. This is what happened on my phone.

Awesome thank you for clarifying.
Once I saw there was complete root with volte I went straight to download mode and did the process. Glad I didn't take the update because it blocks root and the sprint engineer rom.
