[Q] How to receive updates again (5.0.2 to 5.1)

Hello,
like the title descripes, i just want to know how i can receive OTA updates again. I'm currently running on stock Android 5.0.2.
The device has an unlocked bootloader and has been rooted(wich has already been undone).
Did i flash the wrong firmware since i had to manually install it because the device was running on cm 12.1?
I know i could simply install the 5.1 firmware but since i don't want to loose all my data and i don't want to **** arround with backups and stuff,
i hope i can get the OTA update to work again.
hope you glory it magicans are able to help me
kind regards
P.S.
Here is a screenshoot with some infos:

"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}

How do you know that you won't get any updates with the firmware you've got? As far as I know, Motorola hasn't released the 5.1 update yet, at least not for the XT1068 model that is sold in Germany.
For reasons of comparison, I am on 5.0.2 with my XT1068 as well (never rooted, never unlocked BL), although it states the Baseband-Version to be: "MSM8626BP_1032.3105.93.00R EMEA_DSDS_CUST"
(funny how my device is always recognized as XT1068, although the "1032" suggests it to have the Baseband firmware of another device).
I also have different kernel versions and build numbers:
Code:
Kernel: 3.4.42-gdd242b0
[email protected]#1
Fri Jan 23 13:23:41 CST 2015
System version: 22.26.1.titan_retde.retdeall.en.DE retde
Build number: LXB22.46-28.1
This is an unbranded device, bought in Germany. My system updater app always states that my system software is up to date, so I guess I'll have to wait a little longer for 5.1 to be released on my XT1068 so I can get it OTA.
But basically, there is no reason to believe, your device has already received an update, so it may very well be that you'll get one when it's released. Or, if not, then you may see if you can find another firmware (i.e. the one I have, which runs quite smoothly - I've had only one or two unexpected reboots since I've got the device, and never had any other troubles), then why shouldn't it get an update? Provided that you don't deactivate the Motorola OTA app, which needs to be working for the phone to know when it gets an update.

Looking for Update (T-Mobile - H811)

There seems to be some sort of update for my LG G4 H811 (T-Mobile). I'm already on Android 6.0.1 Marshmallow, so what could this be? I can't update due to having TWRP installed, so I was hoping to find this update on the web somewhere. I checked T-Mobile's site and the highest they have listed is 6.0.1 from last year. Any idea where I can find this update?

Any idea if a flashable zip exists?

Or any way to go back to stock recovery? I'm currently using H811V20r_00_0111.kdz w/ TWRP.
EDIT
I found the stock recovery for the H815. Do you think it'll work on my H811?

To be honest no clue as I have never went stock recovery

It won't update because you probably have unlocked bootloader in addition to not having stock recovery. One option to update that worked for me (albeit you loose all data on phone as it resets when you relock bootloader, but that will probably happen anyways if you could update) was to go into fastboot menu, lock the bootloader, then turn off phone by removing battery (saves a lot of time by skipping the unnecessary rebooting), reinsert battery, put phone in download mode by holding vol up button as you plug usb cable that is connected to your computer. At this point, you can use LG Bridge 'update error recovery' option to get the latest stock rom and recovery reinstalled on your phone. Before you do all this, do realize that LG and T-MOBILE stopped updating or supporting this phone long ago and security updates only go up to April of 2017, so doing all this for an incremental update may not be even worth it.

How to fix OTA updates (SM-N950U1)

Ever since I got the official beta build a few months ago, I no longer get OTA updates. I have had to flash all my updates through either ODIN (to get off of the beta back to stable) or Smart Switch. I posted the following thread on reddit and they told me that somehow I flashed ATT data to my phone, but I don't think I ever did that. I have only used the XAA firmware since I have a factory unlocked Note 8 that I bought directly from Samsung. Here is a image of what my recovery shows now:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",

"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Any ideas about how to get it back to Block-Based OTA instead of File Based and also how to fix the errors?
Thanks!

Bump - Anyone?

I have the same issue. believe it is due to the pie beta, tried odin and OTAs still don't work. rip for us

I also have N950U1 and flashed the beta Pie version and beta updates from SD-card as Zip files.
When official Pie was available, I used Smart Switch; I had to downgrade first to latest Oreo version. Thereafter OTA worked again, for initial upgrade to Pie and subsequent updates.
My advise, try downgrading through Smart Switch.

If I am already on the latest update, is it still possible to download back to Oreo from Pie? Would I have to do this through Odin?

I downgraded through Smart Switch, it indicated to do so...

I have no idea then. I only get update prompts when I connect to SmartSwitch, which is how I have had to update since exiting the Beta.

Just had emui 9.1 update but being asked to install again. And again...

I just installed the emui 9.1 update on my phone but after restarting I'm being notified of the update again. This happens around 5 minutes after restarting following the update being installed. When I install the update again, it "installs" in about 20 seconds before saying the update was successful and reboots. I have tried the installation 3 times now, but I have just set the installation to "later" so I dont get bothered by it again today.
Is there anything I can do to stop this happening?

Disable system update app using adb

All very well, but then I won't get notifications about future updates.
It didn't work anyway. I'm still being asked to install the update.
After a bit more investigation, it seems the original update may have been corrupted as I'm getting a message that system files or pre-installed software may have been altered or deleted and that the official update needs to be installed. Except it was the official update. Hisuite doesn't have the option to rollback the software to the previous version. So what can I do to put this right?

Yeah, but I didn't install any of those. I installed the official version through Hisuite.

Thanks but I just get "getting package info failed" when I try that.

Finally sorted. Connected to hisuite again and this time another firmware version (311) was available. So I installed that and when I rebooted there was another 4.7mb patch needed installed. I installed that and everything is back to normal now.

This happens when you install an incorrect firmware version on your phone. The firmware file names may be the same but they are not the same versions.

What steps have failed? Magisk Manager does properly patch the MR2 boot.img from the stock firmware. Happy to help if you're running into trouble.
