After trying to root, will I still receive any OTA's? - T-Mobile Note 7 Questions & Answers

**I don't condone anyone using a Note 7 since the recall. **
After spending a lot of time trying to root and failing. I was able to get a slightly different stock rom and now have full battery 100% capability (V2 and previously had update to block at 60%)
What has me excited is when I go to manual update it gets a "Processing Failed" message right away. Tried over wifi and both with a live SIM to make sure.
My questions is, if I can't force update, will I now avoid the OTA coming in couple weeks?
Thanks
Edit - so if I can't get the update to limit charging to 60% again, then I shouldn't receive other OTA's?

I was thinking of rooting mine too but instead of I flushed firmware and rolled back to the green battery and blocked packages with Package Disabler PRO.

It's for a friend so I'll factory reset the device before giving it back. I can advise him to download package disabler once he gets logged on his gmail account etc -
But if the phone gets a "Processing failed" error right away when clicking on check for updates, will it receive push updates still since it can't register and download any of the previous updates at the moment?

Unless your on the orig note 7 firmware rooting isnt going to happen.
Unless you have a paid license of package disabler before it hit version 7 using it to block an OTA also isnt going to happen.

captivate jh7 upgrade

Got the firmware today.. when it loaded it ran the entire progress bar and later said that it failed.. however in the settings it say jh7 and additional attempts to update says no updates available. Also.. after the update the superuser app is still installed and appears that root is still there. Any thoughts?

You have to unroot before you can do a ota upgrade. Rooting is suppose to block ota upgrades because a ota upgrade would remove superuser.
I read somewhere that people have had to flash back to complete original. I've rooted and removed AT&T crapware. Also, being new to the Android platform I need some guidance on how to go back to factory orig. I've heard of odin.. but base on my limited research I haven't seen if it is available to mac. I am familiar with Unix/Linux.. they are my primary OS'.. but messing with a phone OS is just a different animal altogether.
I had to redo the phone but the update never showed up.. So what I did was just flash the update from samfirmware and it is working even though I have to redo everything...
HTH,

My phone is rooted and I updated without issue.
Well i just tred to update mine this morning, i finally got past the communication errors. The download went fine, but when it was installing it went from 0 to 50% percent in about a second and then said update failed and rebooted.
I'm on the stock JF6 rom, however i used odin to get there.
My Sim card and sd were left in, however my sd is blank
And i don't know what any other info i can post to be helpful
2.1 update
just did the update with one click root loaded.went though with no problems phone is faster with less lag.also i can still use as wi fi hot spot. new Quikoffice,Media hub,Mobile Video and you tube. well this may mean no 2.2?
I also did the ota update with root installed, allowed 3rd apps, with wireless tethering, and it went through fine for me but I still have poor gps, did not seem to do anything for the gps except removed the option to enter lbs test mode. Anyone know how to get to the lbs test mode after update?
Samsung Mini-Kies Updater
If anyone is having troubles with Mini Kies (I had the problem where the application crashed, using Win 7 x64), I'd recommend using the regular Samsung Kies application. I was unable to do the JH7 update even after restoring to complete stock with Odin (50% update failed error). This was easy, and now I am fully in JH7, and so far the GPS lock is much, much faster.

[Q] Stop OTA installation of G900A OC4 from AT&T

I currently have a rooted stock 4.4.4 on my S5 (G900A) along with xposed framework. Two days ago, AT&T downloaded the Lollipop OC4 rom and since then it has been prompting me to let it install the downloaded update. I have been telling it not to since from what I gathered I will be losing root and there is currently no way to root the OTA OC4 for G900A.
Problem: Today, the OTA update popped up again and said it will automatically install the update in 30 seconds whether or not if I want it, which prompted me to turn the phone off. Turning the phone back on results in the same results in the same autoupdate in 30 seconds prompt in less than a minute after the boot up. How can I stop the OTA from pushing itself through at this point so I can stay on the 4.4.4 with root. Note that the phone is still on warranty and the Knox is not tripped and I don't want to trip it either.
I have reversed the Xposed overwrite for the status so now the phone is no longer showing official but custom instead both during the power up and in the device menu. I have also rebooted into recovery and cleared cache. Neither one of them prevented the OTA from telling me that it will auto update in 30 seconds at the following reboot.
Can someone help me stop this OTA so I can keep my current 4.4.4 with root?
Thanks

Just freeze the software update thing with TiBu

If your rooted I'm pretty sure the ota will fail anyways...then do like @Rakuu said and freeze the Att software update app so it doesn't bug you about the update.

What is the name of the software update thing? Exact name? Assuming that it may not fail and may push through I only get a 30 sec window to do it and reboot.

I don't want to risk finding out the hard way that it pushed through. What exactly is the name of the item that I need to freeze?

Therws no finding out the hard way, it will fail. Its called att software update or something, the icon is a white and red arrow pointing opposite directions, i'd check for you but im on a tmobile rom so i dont have it. Just turn on airplane mode and it should prevent it from downloading.

You missed my question. The update has already downloaded and gone through 2 days of grace period. Now it is giving 30 sec to force install itself, not to force download. I know the download fails if the device is in custom state instead of official state, and I am at a point beyond your experience.
Can someone with AT&T Rom please help me identify what exactly the item that I need to freeze is called? Thanks.

Att software update
@Rakuu is correct though, if your status is custom update will fail.

Sweet! Thank you I just did a quick reboot and with Titanium Backup Pro froze it, and did a reboot. Although the force update gave me the 30 sec warning while I was trying to navigate Titanium Backup, I did not get a notification after freezing it and rebooting. Now, I got to play the waiting game and hope that one of the devs can figure out how to root OC4 / stock Lollipop on S5 G900A.

If your looking to get on rooted 5.0 then you can follow the above thread...it will also not update the bootloader so you can still downgrade if needed.
The update will not install if you're rooted, but the process is just annoying as ever. If you've frozen the updater apk with Titanium BackUp then you'll be fine. I froze that back in October of 2014 and haven't been bothered since. Every so often a security notice flashes in the statusbar but nothing else.

5.1.1 update keeps failing

I have tried twice now to update my phone to the new 5.1.1 update. Each time it downloads. I tell the phone to restart. When it goes to install it states Error. Then just reboots with out doing the update. No information what is causing the issue.
Now after this 2nd time my phone is stating I have to wait 17 hours to check again to try the update! No idea what is causing it to fail. Wondering if anyone else has had this issue. If not I am thinking tonight I might do a clean wipe of my phone and restart.
If your rooted or where rooted it will fail the update...have to odin back to stock first

Same issue here. After reboot the install fails. Have never rooted this phone.
Quoted from the Android Police article "As mentioned, I could not get my personal AT&T S6 to install the update. I finally got it to work after enabling all the system apps that I had disabled before trying to do it. I have seen others report success with this as well. If you have already tried and failed, just manually set your date a day ahead to check the servers for the OTA again."
check this

Why is my Nexus 6 not receiving updates?

I've just taken my phone out of box, this is October 2015, and the moment I opened the phone first it started overheating and second I checked for updates and it says "software upto date".
The software is stuck at 5.0 and I don't know why I'm not receiving a single update when it's the time people are getting Android M. I've a Nexus 5 too and it's up to date to Marshmallow while this one is still stuck at 5.0 Lollipop.
I guess this has got to do something with the OTA feature and I want to fix this instead of flashing OS manually. So please tell me what to do now.
Till now after many Google searches I did twice reset of my phone and cleared data cache everything of Google Services Framework, but still nothing is helping.
Just 1 day old nonrooted nothing ever did, everything's from my side fine, just not understanding what to do.
Please please help me soon, I'm regretting buying nexus 6 now!

I think I've mentioned that I'm not even getting 5.1, okay not even 5.0.1
Can someone please understand the level of problem I'm facing?
I've already mentioned while others are at 6.0, I'm not going anywhere ahead of 5.0
Please help!
Where did you buy your phone from? Are you sure it is not running a custom ROM? Is the bootloader locked?
Keep the phone connected to the internet (WiFi or cellular data), and sign into your Google Account, and wait another day. It may take a day or two to get update notification.
Edit - depending on your build#, you can download the OTA files and sideload them using ADB (don't need to unlock bootloader if that is a concern), or the faster option would be to just unlock the bootloader, and flash the latest factory image.
im on my 3rd day on my nexus.. but im not losing hope.. im still waiting for the ota.. its on 5.1 lmy47d...
So here is something funny. I was waiting and waiting for 6.0 on my nexus 6 for days. Never came. I have friends that have the same phone on the same carrier and they had already received their updates. So frustration and being impatient had gotten the best of me and I decided i was going to side load the update. In order to do so you need to unlock the boot loader which will wipe all of your data, EVERYTHING. When the phone rebooted completely wiped i went through the initial set up and it wasn't 5 min later the 6.0 update came rolling in like no big deal. WTF. I don't know why it wouldn't find it on its own but i wouldn't. Needless to day that is what I did and ended up getting it in a round about way. Maybe give that a try if you get to impatient and at that point if it doesn't show up just side load it. Hope this helps
Same, stuck on 5.1 LMY47D
google gives us factory images for a reason. if you arent patient enough to wait for an ota, just flash a factory image yourself, instead of starting threads about how you arent getting an ota. whats the point of a thread about you not getting an ota?

Sideloading the OTA using "ADB sideload" doesn't require you to unlock the bootloader.
Unlocking the bootloader is needed if you choose to flash the factory image file instead of the OTA file

I've bought it from an online retailer Flipkart in India.
I'm sure there's no changes made in phone and it's original and is as a new nexus 6 should be. Just this software update is causing me problems

Well I'm damn impatient, if I'd 5.1.1 and waited for 6.0 I'd have definitely had some patience, but waiting from 5.0 doesn't make sense.
Anyways to the point, after listening to your story, I tried same thing, clearing cache and reset from recovery mode, but still it didn't help
Hope there's some other resolution to this now.
I suspect it was your post that I responded to, at another forum - but you have two options really
1. Unlock bootloader (wipes data), and flash latest image
2. ADB Sideload OTAs one after the other in the right sequence (see http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/general/ref-nexus-6-stock-ota-urls-t2906493 for OTA URLs) - check your current build and choose a path to get to the build you want
I am having the same problem.
I am having the same problem. Have you tried resetting the phone and starting it without the sim?

Droid Turbo upgrade issue (OTA + assistant)

Hi there,
I am using Motorola Droid Turbo. from 3 days Im getting ota update and while i try to install to downloaded package it get error on installing on like 20%(percentage is presume as on that screen only loading shows not percentage)
on the other hand if i try to install from "software update assistant" it get disconnect while downloading the update; like of 40% or 50% even on 90. "software assistant" is damn slow and not helping it all
i have wasted already more than 15GB data in and 3 days still same problem plz help
I believe the OTA update is downloadable here, somewhere... so you could try that. Worst case, you could also use the new RSD-image and flash that: https://forum.xda-developers.com/dr...-official-stock-firmware-6-0-1-mcg24-t3531571
Keep in mind, the latter will probably wipe the phone, too... so be sure the backup your data before doing that.
