Im on MI1 and it won't allow me to install the new OTA. Keeps failing. Ive reset my phone, odined to the original stock and still the OTA fails. Help please
@kiilajoe are you still rooted? I had to unroot before it would take. I also had to completely remove SS. Not sure if you have recovery installed or not. There are a few people saying that OTA service is unavailable at this time as well. Update has not shown up in Kies yet so that is not an option. Not sure if a emergency recovery would work for you or not but could give it a try also. When you went back to stock did all the native apps reinstall. I had to go through MyApps in play store and manually install everything prior to upgrade.

You can ODIN back to stock 4.2.2 with http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2484726 its non destructive so it will not wipe your device. However you will lose root. Then you can take the OTA with out issue.

I have a D2G. I rooted it.
But it now wants to do a 2.4.3 update. of course the update fails when it reboots
So my question is, could i apply the update using the bootstrap. has anyone tried doing this, would it brick my phone if i tried.

You probably could if you remember to wipe data and cache, and you should probably get the Team Black Hat app and download the SBF/driver/RSD Lite files just in case.
Edit: Oh, the update file. If it's failing to install, you should probably just try the full install. I'm not sure why it wouldn't go through unless you're on stock, in which case, you HAVE to use full install.
I think he is talking about the official Verizon update. Not FRM...
When you rooted did you stop or remove any of the Blur apps? That will cause the update to fail. All of the Blurr must be there for the update to work.
If you used Z4Root to root your device, try to unroot the device with zroot and then try the update again.
You may have to re-install Zroot after it is completed to re-root the phone. But I did the update before I rooted almost the day I got the phone so I had not really done enough to notice if it wipes the device and data. My guess would be no!
Since I did this from the stock rom I did not bother to look but if the file is a zip file then chances are likely you can run it from the clockwork recovery.
But best bet is to unroot and then try it again before you go that route.
I would however get RSDLite and the stock SBF to have handy in case you run into problems.
You cannot apply the OTA update (I assume you are talking about 2.4.330 Verizon official OTA update) from the custom recovery. It must be instaled via stock recovery. But due to the way update is made (patch based) it will fail if there are alternations (missing files) in any of the system areas. You must restore all changes you made in /system/app (assuming you froze/delete some stock apps), if you are rooted it is ok, update will not bother (extra files in system do not break the checksum - update only checks original files. But if there is even a single file missing (deleted/renamed) in system area, update will fail to install. If you can't figure it out (what is missing) and update keeps failing, simply flash full SBF to return to stock, apply the OTA update then reroot and freeze/remove all apps that you don't want in system area.
I accepted the OTA for NC5 for my phone awhile ago and I would like to get warranty service on it because the screen is flickering. Does anyone know how to unroot the NC5? I rooted using safe strap and downgrading the system sans kernel and re updated with the rooted version of 4.4.2 I searched and could not find any guides and I was not able to find any original stock OTA upgrades to re flash Verizon OTA that they sent out before. Does anyone have any locations or ideas on how to undo the root? For giggles I did try the whole get rid of supersu from the system folder and uninstall supersu.ya that works for all but 5 minutes until you factory reset and it is built in. So I at least gave it the college try... :angel: Any suggestions or possible solutions?

Flash a factory stock ROM image using Odin.
Ok, I was force updated to NG6, I downgraded to NC5 using a no wipe tar with ODIN. That put my phone into a loop. I did a hard reset to my phone which successfully got me back to NC5. I did a towelroot and installed SuperSU. I changed the files SDM.apk and FWUpgrade.apk to back ups which stopped the NG6 update.
Now I have a security update that keeps showing up in my notification panel. I just clear it and it goes away for a while but always comes back.
What else do I need to freeze to get this to stop.
Thanks.
Similar question. I went from rooted NC5 to stock NC5 using ODIN.
1. I still see Customer Recovery icon on boot
2. I get this same security update msg as well, but it will not install for some reason.
I actually want to go to complete OTA stock. How can I solve above 2 issues?
Okay here's my tale of woe..
I rooted my phone last year - but at some point - took an update and lost root.
Though the phone still displays the "custom" boot screen with the padlock.
I tried to take the Lollipop update through the OTA but it fails and I get the "laying on his back" failed Android dude...
The phone DID take the first update.
I have: wiped cache in recovery, wiped data and cache in download manager.
No luck.
I have tried loading the NC5 kernel back on (via Odin 3.09) - but that makes the phone 100% unstable...reboots every 3 minutes..no access to apps - they lock and reboot etc etc.
Loaded the NG6 kernel back on to re-stabilize the phone and tried to Kies the update.
Kies downloads the update then when it tries to apply it the phone boots into "download mode"
I have been advised to:
I had the same custom boot screen--even after unrooting. Tried using Triangle Away to reset the binary count, but the count was already at 0. So ultimately I had to re-flash the NC5 kernel via Odin to get things truly back to being recognized as stock.
Then updates started rolling in for NG6, then NK1. Finally the two-part update for Lollipop.

and - of course that doesn't work. NC5 won't let the phone run long enough to take an update..
It has been said:
Try to flash the OC1 with the pit file

But I haven't found the stock OC1 file anywhere to even try and begin to get it loaded.
Honestly - I'm not even really concerned about rooting right now. I'd really just like to get the phone back to a stock configuration and kernel and lollipop.
Developer mode is enabled. Obviously both Kies and Odin talk to the phone with no problems.
Any ideas ?
Thanks, Dan
Get your phone to 4.4.2, use the verizon software upgrade assistant program preloaded on your phone to update. I had this exact same problem and that's how I got to 5.0.1
You WILL lose root. And there's no method to root 5.0 right now, and people have been saying that there might never be. You also won't be able to downgrade, or at least there's no method to do so at the moment, so you will be stuck with lollipop for a while, maybe forever.
Yes.
Maybe I need to clarify.
I do not care about root at this point. I just want to get the phone back to a stock state and take the Lollipop update.
I'm curious as to why I will never be able to update beyond Lollipop.
Doesn't matter I guess - the phone will have been replaced by then - but still...why ?
Thanks, Dan

I've downloaded (3) different 4.4.2 Firmwares.
FNK1
FNC5 (No Wipe)
FNG6 (No Wipe)
Any opinion on which one is best ?
Did you download these manually or OTA? When I re-flashed the NC5 kernel, I received NG6 then NK1 then the 2-part Lollipop updates all OTA back-to-back.

I would use the ng6. That's what I was running.

Manually - from these (XDA) forums.

Hmm... I'm not sure if it makes a difference to download OTA instead of manually. I would think it's worth a shot flashing NC5 (if it will let you downgrade) and using the software update feature to update OTA the rest of the way.

Got it finally !
started out by flashing (FNG6 (No Wipe)) in Odin 3.09
That got me to regular boots with no "custom" screen showing the lock symbol.
Then I had to take OTA updates to FNK1 then the OTA preliminary Lollipop update then (OTA) finally Lollipop itself.
No root - but that's OK.
It took about an hour and a couple shutdowns to get things running smoothly but it's all good now.
Thanks everyone for their help.
I've had this pending on my phone for quite awhile, I haven't done it because I'm rooted. I decided one day to try it, my phone rebooted to TWRP and nothing happened. Which is exactly what I thought would happen. So I pulled the stock recovery from the stock rom and successfully flashed it. Tried the update again and I am getting a bit error from the stock recovery. The phone goes into "wtf just happened" mode and I have to do a battery pull and reboot. Which works fine. I don't really want to backup everything and re-root and reinstall everything, so does anyone know what my bootloader isn't seeing, but needs to see in order to push the update through?
Also, my phone isn't reading my brand new 64gb SanDisk evo suddenly. Was reading it fine last week... And ideas?
I'm on stock rooted ZV8 with sprint naval kernel.

partitions may be zv4/zv6 on your phone? that may be why you cant do the OTA. what about dirty flashing stock rooted ZVA(not recommended, but works great for me)? there is a navel kernel for it also. Make a backup and if you dont like it, flash back? what connectivity fix does the ZVA update claim? I thought the only (LISTED) update was they added factory reset protection?
He can't take the OTA cause he has TWRP installed. OTA will only install with stock recovery. Probably will need to use the flashtool to go to complete stock if you want to receive the OTA.

He said he put stock recovery back on, but yes he would probably need to flash completely stock to do the ota

Guess I should have read that better, sorry. As stated, try the rooted ZVA. OTA can be stopped due to edited build prop, debloating, etc. So complete stock through flashtool or flashing a rooted ZVA would be the only way to get to the new version.
