Hi peeps
I have installed clockwork recovery and rooted my s3, now an update notifaction is redy for my s3, I downloaded it but did not install it, now I cant get rid of the update reminder, the phone is o2 contract but would apeare to be unlocked as I put my tmobile sim in it and it all works fine.
My question is, how to get rid of the update reminder?
Is it safe to let the phone do the update?
OTA firmware update ???
OTA updates generally fail to install on rooted phones .
Update can be done via KIES or from stock rom threads .

I have rooted HTC One, I noticed a new software update was released by AT&T, and I wondered if it I updated it, would my root be gone? I tried to update it and after downloading the update, my phone restarted and booted into TWRP recovery and I rebooted and there was no update installed. Are any rooted HTC One users experiencing the same problem? What should I do, should i just forget about the OTA updates?

Anytime you root the phone it changes the stock recovery so when the OTA tries to run it fails because the recovery needed to do it is the stock one. Just wait for someone to post a updated ota that works with twrp.
For the most part, updates will be baked into roms so you won't need to take the OTA

On top of stock recovery, you need to have all stock apps present on the phone. They can be frozen, but they must be there. The first thing any official OTA does it check the signatures of all .apks it expects to find on the device--if any are missing, the update will abort. I learned today that when you unlock your bootloader, several HTC-specific applications are automatically deleted from the phone and this will prevent the phone from accepting the OTA. You'll need to either A) replace those apks, or B) flash a stock NAND backup, flash stock recovery, do the update, then re-flash custom recovery and continue on from there.

I installed it and it worked great. I have a unlocked bootloader but I am not rooted.
AT&T update file name and location?
Same experience. If I knew the location and file downloaded through AT&T Software Update, perhaps I could install it through TWRP. Anyone know? Tried?

Many thanks for all your help.
One question:
I have an HTC One (ATT) - SW Ver 1.26.502.10, bootloader unlocked, rooted, bloatware erased.
If I flash CM 10.1 - does this include the latest OTA update.
Many thanks
Hi.
I have just bought a used HTC One running Android 4.1.2. It say there's an update available (2.24.401) which will bring it to 4.2.2 but I have trouble installing it.
The problem might be that the phone is already rooted and has TWRP installed. I have only very little experience with rooting and recovery tools
Anyway ... what happens is that I tell it to update and it restarts the phone. Instead of just rebooting it then enters TWRP and from then on I'm lost. I can get TWRP to reboot as system but after doing so the update is still not installed.
Is there anything I can do to get the update installed ?
hi friends
I've rooted my device - now it says there is a system update - since I cannot update OTA version, how can I stop asking for system update?
nobody knows how should I get rid of system update message?
Make a nand back up of rom...if wanting to keep current rom...if not on stock rom reflash stock nand back up and recovery,if s-on...relock bootloader accept ota...not that big of deal actually...until they push the update to device and you cant not accept it...has been known to happen...lol

Are you rooted? Have you changed or removed any system apps? These are the typical reasons it fails like that. If so, you might need to restore via PC and try updating via OTA again if they don't have the newest version to flash via PC for your version. If you have changed stuff, it might be possible to replace what you have removed and unroot and the OTA might work. If not, then the PC is the only way it'll work.
