Hello,
I want to update my phone to the latest 3.29.651.5.
Im using the OTA downloaded file to do this when i boot into recovery and try
to update the phone it says failed and points to missing Flickr.odex.
I tried really hard looking for that file on the web and on forums but not sure what
to do anymore.
Anyone have any insight.
My phone is rooted and i believe i might have removed it and i thought i did a backup before
removing default sprint/htc apps but i guess not.

Hi
I got the message informing me the upgrade is available, i downloaded the file. When i tried to install it, i got a message telling me i need to have at least 25mb phone memory, i uninstalled some apps and got the memory up to 45mb but it still wouldn't update. I rebooted my phone and now i don't know how to install the update, i can see the file in my downloads but i don't know how to got about installing it. I tried to check for software updates but it keeps telling me my i'm up to date, however my firmware is 2.1. How do i get the update installer to come up again? Is anybody having the same problem? Any solutions?
Thanks in advance
Can you still see it in your downloads? Then just press it, that started it for me.
(be sure that you have a goldcard inserted if you have a debranded phone)
I can see it in my downloads through my file manager, but when i click it i just i see more files, is there anywhere else to access the downloads, i tried through the web browser but i can't see it.
By debranded phone do you mean sim free
Thanx in advance
With debranded I mean you used to have, for example t-mobile (or whatever provider you have) splash screen when booting up instead of htc. or that you had some programme's preinstalled by your provided on phone. And now have gotten rid of all that stuff by installing a clean htc rom.
As to how to get the update working, I don't know.
I solved the problem, i stopped hello fota and downloaded the update again.
Thanx a lot for your help Flaggie
So, my sprint GS3 is rooted with SuperSu pro. The Android version that is on my phone is version 4.1.1 I never had a problem with the phone until one day it prompted me to upgrade the software and I accepted. The update was never successful. I have a picture attached that shows error message it gave. SuperSU pros' icon also doesn't show up anymore on my phone. My phone is still rooted because I can use Titanium back up pro. It has been acting up more and more ever since that first error message.
I've tried searching for similar problems on this website as well as on others but haven't found anything that's similar. I hope the picture helps and someone else who's experienced a similar problem can shed some light on mine because it's driving me crazy.
Have you verified Root, like with Root Checker ? It's Free in the Play Store. Have you tried to Update SU ?
It sounds like you were rooted and tried to get the 4.3 update. Luckily for you it didn't take. If you want 4.3, I would suggest you flash the Knox free version. Just follow the install instructions in the OP and it'll get you back rooted. If you want to stay on 4.1, try flashing super su update through cwm if it won't install from the play store.

I'm rooted stock 4.3, I hear the S3 has the 4.4.2 update? Is that true? What is the error in the attached screenshot mean as well? I'm connected to wifi and I get the error no matter what.
I also have another issue I'm curious about and rather than making a second post I'll ask that too.
I have the supersu app. My rooted apps completely detect root and work. I want to change from the supersu app to the Superuser app for personal preference. I get stuck at 'Making sure new su works'. Why? I also get this no matter what.
Screenshots of both issues attached.
The latest is 4.3. If you are rooted then you most likely have a custom recovery and that is why whatever OTA update you are trying to get is failing.
Want to block OTA updates on my 8.4 Wifi. Anyone know what apk/file(s) to rename/freeze to keep it from trying to update? I'm rooted, but still on the stock ROM.
I believe it will not update ota now that its rooted, simple test is to check for update, go through that, it should end up telling you something like, file have been change or modified or something and it wont let you update

It's trying to update & I just keep selecting the 3 hour postponement. I'm rooted and it's still trying. On my phone (GS4) I renamed the update apk, but I don't know the filename of the one on the tab.

On mine I went into 'settings/general/about device/software update' and unticked automatically check for updates. Then booted into recovery (stock recovery still on mine) and cleared the cache (which I believe deletes the OTA update file) then rebooted.
Since doing that I have not had any software update notifications and the OTA file hasn't reappeared.
My tab is on the original stock ROM and rooted with Towelroot.
Hi guys, I really hope you can give me a hand here. I was rooted using method 3. Yesterday I unrooted the device. Today there were some OTA updates, so I downloaded them and wanted to install them. It was 58 if I'm not mistaken. The phone rebooted and started installing the updates and after few seconds a symbol of android popped up with an error message. After that the phone started and said that update wasn't installed and the origanal settings were returned. After that it said that there wen't new updates available. Factory reset didn't help either. Later a new update was available 59 I think, but the same thing happened... I really don't know what to do now.
I have ZF2 64Gb, WW version installed on it.
right now running 2.19.40.22
I'm really hoping for your help
Update: I've don't system wipe and cache wipe from the recovery menu
Update N2: I've managed to install V2.19.40.22 image from official website. But my phone doesn't show me an option to do an OTA update, it says that there aren't any update available. Is there a way to make him check again properly?

flash the pre-rooted image of the firmware you all already have. then retry the OTA.

Do you mean as in making the file MOFD_SDUPDATE.zit puting it on the SD card and through recovery? The update starts, then says gives an error
In recovery it says:
Veryfying current system...
"/system/build.prop" has unexpected contents
E: Error in /sdcard/MOFD_SDUPDATE.zip
(status 7)
I might have edited my build.prop file back then when I was playing with DPI. Now I can't find the line I edited... please help

That's why you have to flash the pre root firmware first. It restores all the system files so they can pass the check while the OTA runs.
