Yes patch as in security patch with some fixes. I understand that. Prolly i stick with mar update since i can't update to april patch. Thanks.

I've tried updating/installing using a vpn. Still no success. Don't know what's wrong...

One possible guess is that you accidentally modified the system, vendor or boot partition since OTA need 'untouched original' partitions.
For example, change system font, modify hosts(not systemless method) in order to disable AD, etc.
In order to find out what the cause was, you need enable developer option, and type the following command:
adb logcat | grep update_engine

No worries,
The typical message you will get if any of three partitions has been modified:
Code:
The hash of the source data on disk for this operation doesn't match the expected value. This could mean that the delta update payload was targeted for another version, or that the source partition was modified after it was installed, for example, by mounting a filesystem.

Android System Update *root* 24.6 MB........

I was hoping someone could help me out with this......
I've been getting this irritating "Android System Update" (screenshot attached) week after week.
I'm rooted (unlocked bootloader), running stock 5.1.1
This update keeps showing up and when I go to install it, the phone reboots, then it goes it TWRP. I'm assuming this hasn't installed correctly because it keeps coming back.
Does anyone know how to get rid of this or install it correctly. It's becoming quite annoying when it pops up time after time.
Thank you-
Install the update manually or block OTAs.

You can't take OTA if you are rooted.

So I just need to find the security patch and manually install it?
Now where to find it, LOL
I'd start by reading the stickies at the top of the thread list... Good readng.
this update would probably be LMY48I, for the stagefright patch.
what is your current build number?

The link you posted is for Galaxy Nexus (not N6). It is the same page, but a different location. You need https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#shamu
@IINexusII is likely correct that the update you received is LMY48I. So you should be able to flash that

Thank you all very much for your help.
I'll try to patch one of these updates this weekend when I have some time off.
I'm the gatekeeper for all that is Android OS in my family. Myself, my Mom and now my Dad all have Nexus 6' and I've rooted us all. So I install it on my phone first and then the same with theirs.
I was so happy I found a fix for the MLB At Bat app and their stupid blackout rules.
This is just great, been having the same issue and versions
This covered everything I had at the moment!
I applied the update tonight, sick of those damn OTA prompts.
This is where I got mine from, but still not sure if I chose the right one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6/development/fxz-nexus-6-recovery-flashable-fastboot-t3066052
Installed the download from:
LVY48F (5.1.1 Project Fi bugfix update 20150910)
It says Project Fi only, but I have no idea what that is. I didn't see an option for LVY48I, so I went with LVY48F.
Did I do this right?
Want to make sure I didn't screw up my phone.
I tried installing the OEM ROM from here, but it failed while trying to flash it via TWRP recovery:
https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images#shamu
"5.1.1 (LMY48I)"
Anyone?

[SOLVED] Pie october update failed

I have TA-1046 with unlocked bootloader (and uninstalled Magisk before try Pie update)...
Pie stable i installed before using adb sideload OTA file (B2N-322C-0-00WW-B01-update.zip) from this thread
Before some days i have notification with OTA October update, but instalation after download failed(screenshot), tryed several times and on more different wifi connection...
Then i also try adb sideload file B2N-322D-0-00WW-B01-update.zip (from same thread as before install Pie stable) and too failed, this method show more info(screenshot):
"Package is for source build 00WW_3_22C but expected 0001_3_22C
Installation aborted"
In Settings/System/AboutPhone/AndroidVersion i have right build_number: 00WW_3_22C (screenshot)
I read in some other threads that someone have same problem, but without reaction, then a create rather this dedicated thread...
Anyone have same problem? And anyone have please sollution for this?
Please don't write if don't have this problem or tips for sollution, keep this thread clean for finding sollution, thanks
UPDATE: Thanks to TomThePhysicist is problem solved, here is howto...
Same problem and I didn't find any solution yet.
Try this : (works for a similar error in 6.1+):
Rename the package to B2N-322D-0-00WW-B01-322C-0-00WW-B01-update.zip
Put in root of internal storage, go to dialer and dial *#*#874#*#*
If it can't find the file, use the original name and re-dial.
I hope it works, please confirm so others can use it.

Are you rooted? It's weird, it works for some people but not for others.
I'm trying to guess it it's variant specific or maybe having root is the issue (it's expected on a rooted system).

i have rooted (using install official Magisk zip release in only booted TWRP) before, when i see first OTA update notification, then i unroot using MagiskManager Uninstall Complete...
then all update i trying (OTA wireless, adb sideload, dial and reboot with file in root with your filename) is without Magisk/MagiskManager installed, "only" with unlocked bootloader

I might have a clue on this. I upgraded to Pie from a rooted state (the OTA allowed me exceptionally to upgrade from Oreo to Pie and I said why not!). Now after installing Magisk Manager I noticed that Magisk is already installed! This might be the reason behind this annoying error.

ok, i go try OTA dial update after install Magisk
edit: same as without Magisk, failed at 17%...
Of course it should fail. What I mean is it fails because we don't have stock boot. Like in Oreo when it was not possible to use OTA with patched boot, it is not available for Pie. They just made it available for Oreo to Pie update and that has messed everything up.

I was on an unlocked bootloader with Magisk installed and encountered the same update failed error. I tried uninstalling Magisk via total uninstall and ended up soft bricking the phone, unable to apply any OTA update. The firmware flashing tool also did not work. The good news was I was still able to access Download Mode and Fastboot mode. I ended up sending it to the service center after relocking the bootloader and they flashed the official firmware at no charge. The phone then updated to Pie on first boot after downloading the update, and then wanted to update to the October update after a restart. The weird thing is the October update failed again, inspite of locked bootloader and no root! However, when I checked the phone few hours later, the update seems to have gone thru just fine. Not sure why this October update is a bit wonky. I agree with the above poster; not having patched boot is the issue here. However, we should be able to get this by extracting payload.bin and using magisk to patch the file.
For now, I am back on a locked bootloader and no root. Awaiting more stability in the unlocking/rooting scene before I try again. Unless Nokia releases official bootloader unlock, I will have to firmware flash back to Oreo, as both A/B partitions are occupied by Pie and the hack used to unlock the bootloader has already been patched on Pie.
Hi. Thanks for the input and your detailed comment. The thing is there is no service centre here in my country! So I should do everything my own. But may I ask how you relocked the bootloader?

Sure, I followed the instructions here https://www.techmesto.com/lock-nokia-android-bootloader/ . However, if there is no service center in your country and you don't plan to do a warranty claim, I've read that relocking the bootloader will prevent you from using the firmware flashing tool.

[HD1925]PSA: WARNING: Unlocking the bootloader or doing fastboot -w will KILL OTA!

ntzrmtthihu777 said:
The OnePlus 7t Pro 5g McLaren (at least the one from T-Mobile; I don't know about other versions) has a crucial issue
in how it handles factory resets/wiping userdata, and OTA updates.
The stock rom contains a file, `/data/reserver/reserve.img`, which is an ext4 image mounted at `/system/reserve/`.
It contains a number of OnePlus specific APKs and is not particularly required for a functioning phone (though I
believe it may have stuff which is preventing my fingerprint from working, but that is speculation), but this image
is updated by standard OTA updates. As there is no way to read this image without a rooted device, and there is
currently no way to root your device without unlocking your bootloader (which would nuke userdata), any 'master
reset' (as described here) or `fastboot -w` or `fastboot erase userdata` will kill your ability to take OTA updates.
[edit start]
Apparently the tmo method will not kill it. Only the unlocking bootloader or wiping via fastboot should.
[edit end]
The OTA updates given out are what are called `delta` updates, which are a record of changes to filesystems and
not whole filesystems in and of themselves. As such, any change to the expected filesystem images (system, vendor,
this reserve image, etc) will kill your ability to take OTA updates.
If you're having issues OTA updating, you can check if this is your problem by checking if this file still exists
(`adb shell ls /data/reserve/` should return reserve.img) or by grepping your logcat during update attempts,
checking for sha256 hash errors on the 'reserve' partition.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
TL;DR: don't unlock or erase userdata on this image, or you'll never get another update until OnePlus fixes this.

No, I think you're good on those, as there is a full software package on the oneplus site you can use to restore.
the HD1925 models do not, so we're screwed until something gets fixed/figured out.
Thank you very much!
Finally,, I know why I can't update. Thanks.

Nah. its a bit of both. OnePlus was stupid for putting 'reserve.img' inside userdata,
but T-Mobile is even stupider for not implementing the fix non-TMO OnePlus
devices use, which is to switch to full OTA updates.

Question Update Failling

Heya,
I magisked my S21 ultra and when i want to check for updates it says registration failed?
It did not do that before I magisked it.
So I need to restore everything to fix it or ?
you need to be specific on your concern what apps says registration failed? it's better to provided screenshot of your issue
Here is the screenshot
Sorry it took so long

it is not recommend to update your OS directly from Setting while Magisk is installed ...your phone would go into bootloop(unusable state) there are also stories of people that are force to buy new device because of this silly mistake also installing OS update from Setting would uninstall Magisk also worse case scenario would lock your bootloader too which as your provably know it's nightmare

Please help, need boot.img with Android 10

I have tried multiple times to install TWRP and every time it seems to get overwritten by stock recovery. I've tried everything I can find online. After successfully flashing recovery.img and sending command "fastboot reboot recovery" or command "fastboot reboot 'recovery.img'" it flashes orange for a fraction of a second then vibrates a second time and shows boot logo screen with orange state warning, then either boots to stock recovery, or it boots to the home screen. One person said he was running into the same issue as I was and was only successful by deleting all the partitions on the device and reflashing it. He doesn't remember the steps he used and I would like to avoid even trying to do that anyway.
My only goal is to obtain root on my device, even if I'm using AOSP, as long as it's AOSP Android 10 v222, however I'm having issues trying to build a version of AOSP for this device without being able to find the binaries for it.
With all that being said, my question is if anyone who has the Blu Bold N1 running with the Android 10 update and working TWRP installed could please dump the rom and send it to me or upload it for me somewhere. There is no way I can dump the rom of my own device because I cannot get TWRP to successfully boot, and Blu does not host the Android 10 iso for this phone anywhere.
Alternatively, if someone could find the binaries for this device or knows how to find them, I could successfully build my image of AOSP and obtain root that way. I would rather be on the stock android that comes with the phone, but if I can't root it then I don't care to move to something else.
On an unrelated note, this is the first time I've ever posted on this forum and I apologize if anything I'm asking for or saying goes against the guidelines.

I can't seem to get TWRP on it at all, with the boot img or the rom would it not work with magisk?
The 3 files attached are:
boot.bin: The contents of the original 'boot' partition.
boot-stripped.bin: Patched with an empty vbmeta image, to allow custom ROM flashing and the like. Generated by:
Code:
cp boot.bin boot-stripped.bin
avbtool erase_footer --image boot-stripped.bin
avbtool append_vbmeta_image --image boot-stripped.bin --partition-size 33554432 --vbmeta_image /path/to/google-empty-vbmeta.img
boot-magisk.img: Pre-patched with Magisk 23 Canary (23016).
These are all from the November 2021 security patch of A10 on the Bold N1.
Also: you can extract everything off of the live device with https://github.com/bkerler/mtkclient:
Code:
python ./mtk rl <path to backup>
will give you a dump of all of the partitions on the device. (Since 'userdata' is encrypted and the last one, when it gets there, just hit ctrl-C when it gets there and you'll have everything out of the backup.)
