Don't post questions in development.
Read all the directions and use this to flash the update. It will wipe everything on your phone so use Titanium backup or some other backup app to backup all all apps and data
Moved to Q&A and cleaned up

Hi,
I just noticed this was ready to download on my phone today. I downloaded and went to install, but the ClockWordMod Recovery doesn't let me install the update saying, "Image Verification Failed". I assume the problem is that the phone is rooted, and searching through the forums I heard this update isn't really anything big, just removing some German apps or something.
Is there anyway I can stop this update from notifying me? Or anyway to install? My phone is rooted but I'm not bothered about keeping it rooted as at the moment, there is nothing I need the phone to be rooted for. So, either way is fine for me.
Thanks!
If you want to unroot it, just flash generic ruu, more info here http://theunlockr.com/2010/06/07/how-to-unroot-the-htc-desire/
Than simply check for updates and update it
Or wait for few hours for rooted version of this rom
Hi!
I have a branded Desire and installed the update via Recovery. I had to disable the verification to do that (Goldcard inside). But all I got was a boot loop and my phone was derooted. I tried much (e.g. delete my data) and after a couple of hours I found the simple solution: Simply install the update again. Then I rooted my phone and restored the NANDROID Backup I made before I started the update because all of my data was gone.
Then I installed the Update again and this time it worked at the first time. All data was still there. I rooted it again and everything is fine. Don't know why my phone got a boot loop after first try but second try was perfect!
My suggestion: copy the zip from the download folder to the SDcard (made to a Goldcard!!!!) root and to the PC. Just if you need it more than once. Then make a Backup in the Bootloader. Then Install the update via Recovery. If anything goes wrong install the update again!
Hey my evo doesnt want to update it!!?? why??? it reboots.. then i get the loading thing that is starting to do it. but then i get the TRIANGLE WITH THE EXCLAMATION MARK.. with the little Android bOY.. LOL.. Could it be because its rooted? :/
HOPE ITS NOT BECAUSE OF THAT!! :/ HELP PLEASE
You don't need to install the latest 3.70 release...it is just a maintenance upgrade and has no improved functionality ...I hope you made a nandroid bc you can restore that to get back to your previous state. Good luck

Im new to all this man.. i dont really know anything.. like whats nandroid?? sorry for a stupid question.. but it says is has the Swype typing thing..
One more question.. what happens if i reset the Whole phone? like with the option it has to reset it to its FACTORY DATA RESET.. WILL IT WORK? OR WILL IT JUST NOT BOOT ANYMORE? OR WILL I STILL BE ROOTED? TH \ANKS
never accept a sprint upgrade with a rooted phone, it will mess your phone up...since you dont know what a nandroid is, im assuming you never made one..you are going to have to restore the phone back to original out of the box and a factory data reset is not the way to do it...
try this ...download the 3.30 release from this site and put in root of sd card http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Supersonic
EDIT...in order for your phone to see this ..boot into bootloader..when phone is off, hold the volume button down and then hold the power button...the phone will see it and flash and update it...you will be back to stock and not rooted...you will have to re root the phone and then create a nandroid...
read this for more info on nandroid backup http://www.simplemobilereview.com/android-rooted-what-is-nandroid-backup/
to recap..never accept a sprint ota upgrade with a rooted phone, you will mess your phone up (as you already know) and once rooted, always create a nandroid...if you ever mess something up, you can restore that nandroid and restore your phone to working condition
also..once you are rooted and you want to update to the latest sprint over the air updates, search this forums for rooted stock RUU and you can then flash the lastest rom from sprint which is rooted...instead of trying to accept the OTA like you did
good luck
oK.. I WILL DO THAT WHEN I HAVE TIME.. LUCKLY MY PHONE DIDNT MESS UP TRYING IT.. LOL..
oK so installing the ROOTED STOCK RUU.. it will already be rooted, and i can still install sprints updates and upgrades with no problem correct?
THANKS FOR THAT BUD! SOUNDS EASY TO FACTORY RESET THE PHONE THANKS!!

Once you restore to factory non rooted and then re root...you have install the rooted ruu to get the latest sprint upgrades ...you don't accept any ota updates ever...just flash the most current rooted ruu and you will have the latest sprint updates

Self confessed complete Android/Evo newbie here... I didn't even know how to access the settings on the phone until about 30 minutes ago. I've been working with iPhones since day one and have jailbroken many releases, so I get the general idea. It's actually my wife's "work" Android, and a co-worker of hers rooted the phone at some point. She tried to install the auto-download 3.70.651.1, it failed, and she gave it to me. Pulling the battery and resetting seemed to get things back to working, but now I'm taking over management of this phone and getting things right.
Here is where the phone is:
Nag screens about updated software seen. Update now selected. Update seemed to fail with a triangle/exclamation point, phone locked.
Pulling battery gets a normal reboot. Still get nag screen about "do you want to update"
Settings/aboutphone/software info shows "Software number 3.29.651.5" after failed update
Here's what I've done so far:
On software update screen, chose to "delete update". Rebooted. No more nag.
Turned off "scheduled check" for system software updates in Settings menu.
Figured out how to boot into the recovery menu. Looks like "Clockwork backup" was already installed. (ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.0.1)
Created a nandroid backup using clockwork.
Rebooted phone
Mounted the SD card to my Mac, backed up the SD card including hidden files.
Verified creation of clockworkmod nandroid.md5 file
A few questions:
Once you restore to factory non rooted and then re root...you have install the rooted ruu to get the latest sprint upgrades Is this really necessary? Can I not just find a latest/greatest "rooted ruu" and overlay it on top of my current configuration?
I see some threads with titles like "[ROM] joeykrim-SDX-original-5.1 Odex *Stock Rooted 3.70.651.1* Dec 15th 2010". Is this an example of a "rooted ruu"?
This thread says I need to install "unrevoked 3.2.1" and "unrevoked forever". I'm guessing these are different tools than whatever was originally used to root my phone. Any chance installing them will conflict?
If I go back to a stock 3.3 ruu, what happens to all the applications and info already on the phone? Does it just overlay the software, or wipe everything clean?
TIA for helping an Android/Evo newbie out!
Hi all,
I installed the [ROM] [2.10.405.2] Rooted Official HTC Android 2.2 (FroYo) ROM at the start of the year and have been getting told to update my software numerous times since.
I have downloaded the rom update to my sd card, gone into the boot menu by holding the power and back buttons, turned of verification, installed the rom from my sd card then installed it. When it restarts, the phone then gets caught in a boot loop and I have to reinstall the original rom.
Please can someone tell me what I'm doing wrong? I've never done anything like this previous to installing the original rom.
Thanks in advance.
NEVER EVER apply an update to a rooted phone. This has been covered in numerous threads in the past
Thanks for letting me know. I wasn't aware. So I should download the roms from here?
If you wanna update but stay custom then yes go for a newer custom ROM
Hey guys,
I have searched the forums for a while but I can not find the exact answer or procedure to help me out. I just rooted my phone yesterday for the first time and early this morning I received a notification to update my system. Can someone please respond in a helpful way to guide me in actually installing the new system updates and remaining rooted with the rom I am running. I understand this may not be possible without going back stock from what I have researched on the forums but any clarity in the situation would be appreciated.
I have the SPRINT GN2 SPH-L900 running Android 4.1.2 L900VPAMC2 and MacksROM Allstar! 3.5 MA7
I would like to install system updates if possible. If it is not explain why. If I can, how I do that and keep rooted with roms I like.
Thanks
If you're running MC2 Baseband, there's nothing you can update until Mack pushes out an MC2-built ROM. Consider the update notification a phantom and ignore it.
I'm running macks 3.5 w/MC2 and kept getting the update system notification and read to just install it and it would go to your recovery (twrp in my case) and it would fall to install. So that's what I did and didn't get the update since then, a few days now. I flagged another rom lady night and now just got the update message again. I will just accept it and it should disappear again. Hope I helped.

Back when I was on stock with a custom recovery and root. There was a different method that has been mentioned in the forums before, however if I would try to hit restart & install it would just sit there at 0 seconds and never would be able to actually go into the custom recovery. So I just finally decided to go back to stock in update to mc2 and then redo the whole custom recovery and root process.

Are you trying to take the ota recovery?
Sent from my Amazing Galaxy Note 2!
Hello all, my First post so please bear with me, Been using these forums for quite a while and all answers have been allready given, so no need to post... till now.
I have a Samsung Galaxy s3 i747 running android 4.1.2 OTA update and used CF-Autoroot. No problems there,
installed Rom manager, and cwm recovery touch. no problem
When I restart in recovery mode, also everything seems fine...
When I try to backup the phone however using cwm recovery it starts backing up everything including system but the just as it starts data the phone restarts.
Tried reinstalling cwm over and over different versions.. nada same result..
went into the settings to mount the various options as suggested to another user. same problem nada...
To be completely clear, I am trying to make a backup of my stock / rooted only Galaxy s3 i747 onto it's own storage NOT SDcard.
as I also could not figure that out either.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. -Erdericks1976
Sorry about misleading Subject. This is about making my first backup successfully..
Followup.
Well seems there are/were more problems here than I thought, it has begun randomly? restarting,..
Well. not Ramdomly. Whem specific apps are run it would restart.
I did a titanium backup and it would backup alot of the apps. but them would restart the phone when it got to 1 specific app.
I think I figured out what I did wrong here.
I have a Galaxy Note 2, and I may have flashed something from it by mistake......
so I have restarted my Gs3 From scratch Re-Following all instructions.. waiting to test and see if CWM works to back it up now..
It sure was faster with the Note2 rooted Kernel though. (if that was in fact what happend)
I'll update soon as its done..
Followup 2
Yep. that musta been it. Used the correct stock (rooted) Rom
OTA updated from 4.1.1 to 4.1.2, then used CF auto root to Re-root, then reinstalled SU and CWM and Backing up now.
Just passed the Data section the phone would always restart at...
