How do you prevent 2.3.4 update

How do you prevent an DInc from updating to gingerbread 2.3.4?
I'm getting a nag to restart and install. This happened once some time ago, and now it's happening again.
Has 2.3.4 been rooted yet? Last time I checked, it hadn't.
Thanks
Anthony

What build version are you getting prompted to update to? If its 4.08.605.2 it's the newest that started today apparently. If I were you I would pull the file from your cache so devs could see what's in it. Also, if you have a custom recovery, it won't update, as it needs stock recovery to update. If you're S-OFF that'd help too.

Does that mean I can let it install and it will fail? I am using CWM.

I'm rooted with cam and s-off.
So, where does it put the download. I looked everywhere for an 87.8mb file and didn't find one.

If you have root explorer it might be in your cache folder.

Hm...that's the first GB OTA that was "supposedly" (I didn't get it) pushed I Sept. but yes if you have CWM it will do the countdown to reboot, then never reboot.

Android Central's reporting another OTA being pushed out tonight.
http://www.androidcentral.com/new-gingerbread-ota-droid-incredible-being-pushed-out

mik rom inc HD is getting that update message also

Run your backup and then use root explorer and go to system/etc/security/otacerts.zip and change the name to something else and then you won't have to worry about getting it again. I'm not sure if you can get to it that way with Gingerbread but just look for the security folder and the otacerts.zip.

i just got this now and i am on skyraider.

Renaming ota certs.zip didn't work for me...
I have Skyraider 4.0 installed, with s-off, Clockwork recovery, and I'm still getting this annoying notification...any other ideas?

What exactly does this do? I opened the apk and didn't see a whole lot.

OTA Update failed

Woke up this morning and saw the system update message. It started to update but then I got a picture of the android with a red triangle. That stayed for a few minutes and the phone rebooted. Now I am still on 4.0.1 and there is no system update available.
Any thoughts as to what caused this or how to get the update to process?

For me the same problem.
I think something went wrong during the update. The installation of the update was already 30 minutes ongoing and nothing happened. After resetten the phone it started up with still 4.0.1 and no system update availiable.
Anyone an idee what went wrong?

Worked for me. The problem is that I have CWM recovery installed.

People use this phone on stock?

I'm having the same problem. I think it's because CWM borks the update. Any ideas anyone? I was hoping to only do OTA updates until/if I start installing custom roms.

You cannot install OTA the updates if you are rooted and have Clockwork Recovery installed. The only way you can update to 4.0.2 is to either install one of the many custom roms available or revert back to the stock recovery.

Your link contradicts your reply.

Thanks for the replies all.
The problem is that I do not have CWM installed, and my GN is not rooted. I am very happy with stock ICS so this is the first phone I have had in over 10 years that I have not installed a custom ROM on.
One thing to note is that I did force the install of 4.0.1. I was experiencing the volume bug and had to leave on a road trip so i could not wait for the first OTA to roll out to me. But to do that I did fastboot boot not fastboot flash for CWM so after a reset I am back on the stock recovery.
So any other ideas how to get the update to restart? The bootloader is obviously unlocked if that makes any difference.
Thanks,
cj

I'm not sure what you are reading, but here it is:
1) Whether you have root or not, it makes no difference.
2) Having CWM vs. stock recovery does make a difference, but only somewhat. In both cases, you CAN install the OTA update. It's just that the procedure is a little different. With the stock recovery, the OTA will install automatically. With a custom recovery (like CWM) it will install, but you have to install it manually.

1- No one said root will make a difference.
2- This thread is regarding a user who receives an OTA update. If he does not have the factory recovery it will fail.

Unless I'm reading the original post incorrectly, the thread is about a user who received the OTA update and it didn't install. His questions were: 1) What caused this? and 2) How to get the update to process?
Saying that the OTA will fail if he doesn't have the stock recovery, I suppose, addresses his questions but, instead of just saying that, would it not be more helpful to tell him that the OTA doesn't install automatically with CWM, it just needs a different install process, which EddyOS pointed him to), instead of just saying it will fail. In any case, you are correct -- lets just tell all users to flash back the stock recovery to install OTA updates.

I have the same problem. I flashed google Yakju images over my bell yakjuxx images. Boot loader is unlocked obviously but not rooted and no cwm.
I did however flash a different radio, not sure if that was my issue. Now the update has disappeared so I can't retry.

(I suppose you have the GSM version because of your ATT logo)
As you are describing right now, you are not rooted and in stock recovery.
Try flashing manually the OTA 4.0.2 which you can find here: http://download.peteralfonso.com/maguro
If it fails, then the original OTA 4.0.1 you forced was not the real OTA from google, so reflash the 4.0.1 from the above link and then flash 4.0.2.
If you have he CDMA version then find the OTA for that.

Thanks efrant! Those instructions worked.
I DID however discover something that I have not seen posted anywhere.
It would appear (for obvious reasons) that the OTA updates checks for version integrity. Due to me installing a different radio (Bell GN radio) the OTA update aborted itself and I saw the abort again when trying to manually update. This time I could see that the "radio" was mentioned and aborted. I re-installed the original Yakju radio from ITL41F and did the manual OTA update and it worked!
Now I just have to re-install the Bell GN radio image.

Yeah, I should mention that in the first post. (You could have also removed the assert in the updater-script file, and it would have installed.)

Can I prevent this problem for future OTA updates? Say 4.0.3 is pushed out, should I remove the assert in the update-script file now? or wait until it says "there's an update available"?
I don't want to have to manually update every time because I used a different radio.

Thank you very much for the answers. I did not mean to cause such a fuss. I am aware of how to flash the image manually, as I did that to force the 4.0.1 update.
I guess what (as it turns out) I was really asking was, What caused this to stop? And how to I retry/restart the automatic update?
The only other info that I can think that is relevant here is that I am sure that I forced the actual OTA. I wonder if something happened during the flash, or since, that corrupted something that the update is checking.
Oh and it is an unlocked GSM Nexus though I am currently in the UK for about 6 months so I have given up my ATT contract for a Pay-as-you-go Lebara SIM while here.
Thanks again for the answers, next time I'll try to be more clear the first time.

When the next update comes out, you can either either flash back the original radio before updating, or remove the assert in the update-script file in the new update.

[Q] Trouble with updating OTA to JB

I'm currently using the stock rom from Google (4.0.4) after updating it from 4.0.1 which originally shipped with my device (manually, not OTA). Just yesterday I decided to update my phone to JB through the OTA update. It downloads perfectly fine but when it reboots into the installation, I get the error with the android mascot and red exclamation mark.

You do not have the XXLA2 radio flashed. You need to flash that before applying the update.

Thanks for that. I've also got another question. I currently can't access clockwork mod through the recovery menu, after updating it to 4.0.4 I wasn't able to access it anymore. I've tried the rom manager from the play store but it says something that I don't have permission. I think I forgot to install the super user when I initially installed the update to 4.0.4.

I agree, you have to be careful with each rom's compatibility. 4.0.4 brought with it new radios which I believe most if not all jb roms are based on. You can flash the new radios after rooting and unlocking the device. If you manually root the phone, you'll know if you successfully pushed su to your sd card.

1) every ota update disables root access.
2) every ota update places two files on your device that re-flash the stock recovery every time you boot your phone.
3) the android laying on its back with the exclamation point IS the stock recovery.
4) you need to flash cwm, flash the su package, then rename/delete this file: /system/etc/install-recovery.sh and you are all set.

OTA 4.1 update from preview build

Basically I have the preview build of Jelly Bean (JRN84D) but it keeps alerting me to install the OTA version which fails, I know there are lots of threads about this but I can't seem to find the answer in them, I tried flashing the stock recovery but when I try to boot into it I get the Red exclamation mark and can't do anything with the volume or power keys, this is the same exclamation mark I get when trying to install the update.
I think the recovery file may be corrupt, is this the key to getting OTA update? Also my radio is XXLF1 if that helps. Thanks for any help offered, I watched the video and everybody hates noobs but I tried the solutions in other posts and it seems to have got worse.
EDIT: I can access recovery now, but the update still fails.

Flash the Stock Recovery/Radio/Bootloader for Takju from the hosted Google Factory Images through Fastboot. It won't erase your data/apps. For the Recovery, you will need to extract it manually from the image while the bootloader and radio should be standalone.

Where did you get the preview build? Based on that error, it would seem to me like you flashed a non-stock version of JB 4.1 like bigxie's ROM. If that is the case, you need to flash a stock ROM before any update can be applied...

Maybe. You can try this without wiping and see if it works. Then apply the JRO03C-from-JRN84D update form here.

If you follow method 2, then yes, you will be able to automatically accept OTA updates and have it install automatically. BUT, you MAY need to do the first one (i.e., to JRO03C) manually (if you don't get it shortly after you flash JRN84D). After that, you will be all set for the next update.

[Q] OTA JSS15R While Rooted

Currently trying to update my Nexus 7 to JSS15R (8MB OTA that may have helped multitouch issue?)
I am running rooted stock ROM, unlocked bootloader etc. Current build number is JSS15Q.
I've heard the newer versions of SuperSU have the OTA fix built in. I haven't been able to update though. I noticed there was an update and I went to update my Nexus 7. It went to update like it should, but I got an error and it never changed.
Flashed the OTA fix thinking it would help. No.
Forced OTA update by stopping Google Framework. No.
Flashed SuperSU 1.65 and tried to update again. No.
Any suggestions on what I should do? Manually flash the update without loosing root or an data?

Did you reflash the ota after you flashed supersu?
What was the error message?

I read the new SuperSU versions have the OTA fix built in which allows OTA update.
When I initially went to update before everything, it rebooted then just came up with the "open android guy" with an error. Not sure what it exactly said, but I ran into the problem when I updated to JSS15Q.
I updated to JSS15Q by flashing the SuperSU OTA update fix with temporary TWRP. It then went through no problem. I followed that same method this time, but it didn't work.

When I did the j to q update while rooted the ota had an error as well. I had to install the full q rom from google.

When I did the j to q update while rooted the ota had an error as well. I had to install the full q rom from google.

Yeah I'm running 1.65 currently, but the update won't show up anymore. Check for updates and there's nothing.

If its like the last issue with J to Q. You are updated but it doesn't show the name change in system. I could be wrong. It should have already been downloaded to your tablet. Check with a root explorer to find the ota zip or download the R ota found somewhere on this forum and manually flash it. I'm glad I didn't have to mess with anything this time around.

I found a zip for the ota update, don't remember where, but should I be able just to flash it with TWRP without loosing anything?

It will lose the option to blend milkshakes

Not asking for sarcasm, just solutions. Will I lose root or any data? Or is it just like OTA update if I do it manually.

Oh you're using twrp? Disregard what I said. I'm coming from stock with stock recovery and rooted.

Stock recovery is on my device. I'm temporarily booting TWRP with the Nexus Toolkit so I can flash things.

I read the new SuperSU versions have the OTA fix built in which allows OTA update.
When I initially went to update before everything, it rebooted then just came up with the "open android guy" with an error. Not sure what it exactly said, but I ran into the problem when I updated to JSS15Q.
I updated to JSS15Q by flashing the SuperSU OTA update fix with temporary TWRP. It then went through no problem. I followed that same method this time, but it didn't work.

Next time you have an error with stock recovery (android fallen down) press/hold power, then press/release VolUp, then release Power.
This will show you the error log.
As to your current problem, if your unit won't download and notify you about JSS15R download it by hand and place in your virtual sdcard, then temporary boot into tarp and choose install, selecting the ota zip.

Install the ota update.zip, then before reboot, immediately install supersu.
Do it that way and you won't lose root.

Forced OTA and it failed. I had already flashed the superSU.zip before
If you can't read this is the log...

Any way to manually flash the update? Because SuperSU OTA isn't working.

So, you modified the build.prop, restore your backup of the original and it will work. Or flash the full factory image.

Now that you mention it I tweaked it with PimpMyRom. I'll take that off and try to update.

I am a bit late, but I tried fixed my build.prop to its original state and I still can't OTA update...
I noticed on stock recovery there's an option to update with ADB. Is there an update file I can use to just manually install the update? I know the JSS15R update didn't do much, but I would like to know for future reference and when Android 4.4 is released.

The same OTA update.zip you used before is used to do sideload in adb as well.
You'll also get the same errors if you have modified files.
If you post the errors, they can be diagnosed.
If you modified a lot of files, sometimes it is easier using the factory images.

Status 7 error, the log is posted in one of the above posts. I use "PimpMyROM" for a short while, which modifies the file. I deleted all the tweaks that went into the build.prop.

Unless you are very careful with your edit or made a backup, you need to get the real file. When you edit, even if you have an extra space left over, the sha1 checksum check will fail.

I'll probably just backup apps + data and use JSS15R factory image. Made the mistake of not making a backup of my build.prop.
Good thing it's a Nexus Device!
