You have to be fully on stock.....and on stock recovery to the update to complete.....the root is ok but custom recovery is a no no.......

Not running a custom ROM does not mean that you are fully stock.
Do you have the XXKK6 radio installed?
Do you have the stock recovery that came with ICL53F installed?
Do you have the stock kernel that came with ICL53F installed?
Do you have all the original (and not modified) files that were included in the ICL53F /system?
Are you sure one of your root apps did not modify one of the system files?
If you answered no to any of the above questions, the OTA update will not install automatically.
Thanks for the reply
Haven't clue if any of the things mentioned
Apply to the phone will do my best to check
If that fails would it be best to unroot and go from their ?
Thanks

Hello,
My HTC Desire got an update today.... However, when I try to apply it, it will progress almost halfway until it shows me the little droid guy with an exclamation mark.
I am on stock Froyo currently, however I am rooted using Unrevoked3. I was told I could still update and it would even retain root in the future. However, it does not seem to be the case.
So what would my options here be?
I do wish to retain root, and I do wish to update my phone. Mainly, because I hope it will fix the WiFi issue (WiFi goes into sleep mode in lock screen, regardless of the settings, thus I can't use Skype properly.)
Any advice and/or help would really be appreciated.
You cannot apply an OTA to a rooted phone, FFS how many more times does it have to be said!?!?!?!
Look for an updated version of your custom ROM (if you're using one) or go back to stock, get the update and re-root
Well; How would i go back to stock?
Or is there a custom rom that is nothing but a rooted stock rom?
Flash the stock Rom with 2.29 update wich can be found in the dev. forum..

since when did we become so intolerant to new members guys?? keep in mind there was a time when none of us knew that you couldnt flash ota's with a custom recovery. someone had to tell us all
Flash the update again it should work. But I'd use an RUU and get back to stock.
So I'm running the stock OS and now it won't install the OTA update. I'm unlocked and rooted and the update downloads, then the phone reboots. I see the install starts and runs for about 3 seconds and then it stops with the red triangle exclamation point.
What's going on, anyone else having this issue?
How many times per day does this thread need to be made?
You're either going to have to flash just the update via fastboot on your own, or unroot and accept the OTA normally.
Well I appreciate the answer, sorry to be a bother...
Anyway, is this the way it's always going to be since I'm rooted and unlocked? Where will I be able to download the OTA updates so I can flash manually with fastboot?
It won't work if you have ClockworkMod's recovery, you need the stock recovery.

Dowload from http://code.google.com/android/nexus/images.html. It needs 7Zip to uncompress the file. Once decompressed it has a file with no extension, decrompress that again and you will have the several file.
The just power the phone off and power back on with the volume up and down pressed. Same as when you rooted it.
Then run these commands:
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-maguro-primekk15.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
sleep 5
fastboot flash radio radio-maguro-i9250xxkk6.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
sleep 5
fastboot update image-yakju-icl53f.zip
This will not wipe your phone!
You will need to root it again.
This is what I just did and works prefectly!
Root and unlocked bootloader shouldn't prevent you from installing if you still have stock recovery. If you have ClockworkMod recovery instead, you can use that to flash it manually. If your phone downloaded the update zip, it should be located in /cache.
You'll probably have to re-root after applying the update, regardless of how you install it.
Thanks for the replies guys! I guess I'd like to stay unlocked & rooted and be able to get OTA updates. Is there any risk in doing this? If not, how do I uninstall CWM?
Thanks again!

I believe that in rom manager you should be able to set the recovery back to the default.

ROM Manager only has the option to flash ClockworkMod, not stock recovery. But the stock recovery can be extracted from the Google factory images and flashed with fastboot.
I have same problem like yours, how can i solved it? my device is SE WT19i
Happened to me as well - but I also ran into problems initially trying to do the image upgrades, because I had ended up changing a couple values in the build.prop file (wifi scan time, and disabling the boot animation). I'm assuming changes like that would cause the OTA update to fail, if doing it manually fails as well?
Also remember when trying to resolve my issue, reading through other people who went through similar sequences.
Had unlocked/rooted. Tried OTA - got the red warning symbol.
Tried installing the zip from sdcard through CWM but ran into various warnings/errors because of minor tweaks that either they had done, or something that had been installed had done.
Try mskip's GNex Toolkit. Super easy to use and everything explained in the thread. The guy's a genius!

Think option 10 will reflash stock recovery.

+1. GNex Toolkit made my life worth living, I got the OTA 4.0.4 update (IMM76I), and I'm rooted and unlocked.
I also highly recommend GNex Toolkit. It has an option to restore the factory recovery and also helps you to get root again after update.
Voodoo OTA Root Keeper only helps partially.

Each if those warnings that you are getting is because something is not stock. You will need to download the appropriate stock file for each of those warnings. I have already posted the stock build.prop and boot image in the main IMM76I update thread. If you need others, instructions can be found in the update link in my signature.

All of you guys recommending using a toolkit: do you even understand the OP's issue? I don't think so, otherwise you would know that a toolkit won't do what he needs done.
My opinion:
On an unrelated note: you need to figure out how to do things manually before you start using toolkits, otherwise you will never learn anything. There is a reason they teach you long division in school before letting you use a calculator...

Recently I tried updating via otm for my nexus to 4.0.4, I read online it the nexus was simple to update via the otm and I just downloaded an app for my root in-case I lost it, or was prepared to just re root. Anyway, when I tried installing the update the phone just booted into the screen with the little android with a red triangle with an exclamation mark in his chest. I couldn't use the volume + power button to boot up into my phone and had to take out the battery. My phone is still on 4.0.2 according to 'about' and it also says that no updates are available . After this I try flashing cwm and backing up my current ROM, but I just get the triangle again. Have I screwed up something on my phone? Any suggestions ? My SU is still there and I can use rooted apps. I'm a pretty big noob when it comes to flashing roms, still using stock atm, just wanted the rooted apps.

please, use the search button next time mate
as explained over and over, if you have a custom recovery (CWM) you are not eligible to receive any OTA update, and honestly you shouldn't care and use a 4.04 custom ROM
yeh but I mean the phone displays the triangle warning when I try and backup my current ROM, was just wondering how I can fix this ?
Remove the battery and put it back again, the Phone will boot again to your old and laggy and boring 4.0.2 then download the toolkit from the development section then download a stock image from Google (same as you have in your device now) and follow all the steps in the toolkit to get your Phone stock that if you want to get the update OTA and thats it, same thing happened to me yesterday.
P.S: after all that follow the thread on general section how to get the OTA update fast

First of all I would like to apologize for posting this because this probably happens a lot, but I couldn't find any forums to fix this, so I would be very grateful if someone could help me or send me a link to another forum with the same problem and solutions.
So I just did an OTA update on a rooted Samsung Galaxy SIII SPH-L710 phone and while doing the update it said that root access might be lost, attempt to fix? and so I pressed yes..so now and it turns on but will never get past the Samsung logo right before it gets to the homepage/apps or whatever. I have gone into recovery and data reset like 5 times already to no avail, and when I go into recovery..there are only like 6 options most are just apply update, there are no restore options. I had CWM installed but that's not showing up anymore. Yes I know I'm an idiot for trying to update on a rooted phone, but I would really appreciate any help that you guys can offer!

Ok, at this point, the thing I'd have you do is to flash a stock rooted Rom through Odin (while in download mode). The files are found in Sextape's thread over in their forums (warning, external link). Since you already wiped your user data and rooted, you should flash the "Restore" Version: SPH-L710_MD4_1130792_Rooted_Restore. They have directions on their page, so it should be nice.
Once you have root, you can use Goo Manager or Rom Toolbox to get a custom recovery back.
Thank you!! I will try this out and get back to you on whether it works or not.
And another note
Just to add something: In the future, please do not accept any OTA updates. If you're running a custom recovery or have frozen any stock apps, the OTA will fail (sometimes it'll get part of the way through, like yours did).
The best way to keep your phone up-to-date is to just flash the latest stock rooted rom when it comes out. Freeza typically has the latest stock rooted rom over in his thread, and for the most part, gets his Rom updated way before I ever get the OTA. You'll want to get the DeOdex version and if you're coming from a stock rooted Rom, you can do a "dirty flash" (only wipe cache and dalvik cache), no need to lose your user data.
Again, if you're running a custom recovery (CWM or TWRP) you're asking for trouble if you try an OTA update.

One or two days ago I received an ota notification. Every time I try installing the small update, the tablet boots into TWRP, and I don't know what to do next. Why does it not simply install? The nexus 7 is rooted with an unlocked boot loader. Can anyone give me a tip on how to get the update installed?

With 5.1.1 if the system is altered such as rooting or putting a custom recovery on the device, the update won't install. You have to go back to Pure stock to receive and install updates over the air.

Thank you very much! I am glad that some one had an explanation!
How can I restore to stock recovery for LMY48L? There is no LMY48L factory image, so I can't just extract the recovery out of there. Is there any way I can manually apply the LMY48L OTA's recovery to the recovery image in the LMY47V factory image to get a "stock" LMY48L recovery?b
EDIT: Never mind, it looks very complicated. I ended up just flashing LMY47V recovery and system images, then re-updating to LMY48L, then finally updating to LMY48P. I didn't mean to hijack the OP's thread, but I asked here because it looked like he would run into the same issue as I did.
