[Solved] Unable to install OTA updates after rooting - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Edit: Solved via flashing radio ROM in ODIN, see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=31934326&postcount=22
I rooted my Sprint Galaxy Nexus using the Galaxy Nexus Toolkit 6.1. When the FD02 update came out, I couldn't install it OTA, but could install the radio and other updates in CWM recovery by downloading the files from here on XDA and installing them. Now that FG01 is out, I'm seeing the same problem of not being able to install OTA updates. I googled around and saw that one problem could be having CWM instead of the stock recovery, so I used the Galaxy Nexus Toolkit 6.1 to ReFlash Stock Recovery. I forced the OTA update through clearing/stopping Google Services Framework, and my phone rebooted and started to install, but halfway through I got the red exclamation mark screen.
What else do I need to do to be able to install OTA updates while rooted?

The radio, bootloader, and the ROM all has to be same model (or type). Try reflashing all the radio, bootloader and the image that is all yakju or takju

I'm on the stock ROM, the FD02 radio from here, and I'm not sure what, if anything, is different about the bootloader, other than that it's unlocked now.

Um... what is the version of your Galaxy Nexus? Yakju or takju? Because mine is L03...

OK never mind. L03 is the bootloader derp... but I still know if you are yakju or takju and then give me the bootloader and radio.

You didn't need to revert to stock recovery. CWM will flash the OTA update just fine, you just have to tell it to. The OTA update will download as a zip file to /cache (or you can use the URLs posted over in the General forum to download the zip file yourself)... just boot into CWM and flash it. This also gives you a chance to also flash SuperSU before rebooting so you don't lose root (since the OTA update will unroot you).
This is how I install my OTA updates. I download the zip from URLs posted in this forum, boot to CWM and flash it, then flash SuperSU, reboot. Done. The bit about needing the correct bootloader and radio still applies, of course.

No. He's not running either of them, probably. He's on Sprint, which means his stock radios could be different from gsm yakju/takju (i believe sprint's model is lte/cdma? I may be wrong though..).

Radio will be different from gsm.

LOL. I said Sprint in the OP I think the Sprint Galaxy Nexus is called "Toro Plus" or "Toroplus" in this context.
Anyway, the problem I had before with CWM was that I could start the FD02 OTA update within CWM, and I'd get, as I recall, the red exclamation mark screen, instead of a successful install. I had the same issue when I tried the FG01 OTA update outright, it rebooted, went to CWM, and gave me a red exclamation mark. From searching around on google, it seemed that this was due to my current non-bone-stock setup (rooted/CWM recovery/unlocked/stock ROM), so is it actually unusual for this setup to not install OTA updates properly?
Thanks for the help so far, this is my first Android phone after a long line of WinCE/PPC/WM6 devices, and there's a lot that I'm unfamiliar with

rooted = no effect on OTA updates (assuming you haven't messed around with anything in /system - if you have, all bets are off)
unlocked bootloader = no effect on OTA updates
CWM = will not install OTA updates automatically, but will install them manually by flashing the zip
stock ROM = required for OTA updates, and must be the build that the OTA update is meant for
radio = must be the version the OTA update expects
bootloader = must be the version the OTA update expects (actually not 100% sure on that, but it doesn't hurt...)
If everything is right and it still won't go, I'm not sure. Flashing with CWM might actually give you more of an error message indicating what's wrong. I think the stock recovery just gives you the exclamation mark and nothing more.

Yeah, I was unsure about toroplus being the sprint version.
Not sure whats going on, although i wouldn't think much about it and go full stock. Have you tried the updates thread on dev section? Have you tried TWRP?
Since i'm on maguro, i flashed yakju factory image, booted twrp with fastboot, flashed a supersu zip, reboot. Full stock achieved, with root. Nothing to it. Backup your root if you want with OTA root keeper or whatever people use (i would just repeat the first steps i mentioned after the ota installed, except reflash factory image, of course), then accept the ota.
Sent from my i9250

So you're saying, return the GNex to full stock, unlock and root again (perhaps using a different "toolkit" type utility, or just using adb commands), and see what happens? And I haven't visited any update threads other than when I installed the FD02 radio + other updates.

I'll ask the same thing I asked other dude with the same question, why?? Who wants an ICS OTA with borked search? For the love of all things butter, just flash JB!!

Seriously, should I have to explain myself? I want Sprint TV since I'm paying for it anyway. I want things to "just work" and not mess with JB ROMs using a hacked ICS radio. I don't want to put on ROMs with broken stuff in it (there's one ROM whose OP just says "Broken: you tell me." for crying out loud). I'm not going to argue this any further. Obviously if I wanted to put on a community ROM, I would just do so.

I'm sorry if I came off confrontational, I was sincerely trying to help. I've been using JB ROMs since they were released and nothing is broken and I would never even consider going back to ICS now. But, of course, it's your phone and you'll do what you want with it.

Rooting has nothing to do with it.
As was mentioned earlier, CWM will install an OTA update file but it will NOT install it over-the-air. What I mean is, if you download the update yourself ( from the "update" link in my signature), you can use CWM. If you get the notification that there is an OTA update and you click accept and try to have it install while CWM is installed , it will fail. See the difference?

I am so so sorry for this but I can't figure out how to take a screenshot in recovery mode.
When I install the OTA update in CWM (flashed it back), this happens:

This is what happened last time with FD02, more or less.

You are getting that error because you are using a custom kernel. You need to be running the stock kernel for the build you are running.

My phone is rooted and bootloader is unlocked,what to do to get updates from google?

I am a total noob when it comes to android, i did manage to unlock the bootloader , root and install cwm premium, now i want to update my phone so that i can get the updates directly from google and not from samsung, i have read a million posts and am confused as hell since some people are talking about flashing radio's and also new boitloaders? I have a canadian gsm BELL galaxy nexus can anybody guide me on the easiest way to get this done considering what i have done already?
Thanks

keep doing what you did to get where you are now. and find out you can't get updates from google. directly. now you have to do it on your own.
You could flash roms and kernals of your likings.
Rom is the firmware of the phone.
Kernal is like the main programmable engine that runs the phone. (Usually for OC and UV)
I don't recommend touching the radio though if you got your phone on bell and using it on bell network.
thanks for the help, so as for flashing the stock google firmware would i just download it and flash it using cwm's flash frim sd card option? Also is radio's something that the carrier usually updates or is it something thats there for the life of the phone unless you flash it with something new? Last question is by flashing the stock google firneware does it do anything to radio's or does it stay at stock? Thanks for all the help.

Flash the latest google official update: click me.
f.
If you want actual OTA updates from Google, you cannot have CWM. And unless you are doing custom ROMs, I fail to see why you need CWM in the first place.
IMO just stick to stock recovery (flash it back if you already have CWM). Fastboot + adb will take you a long way, should you need to do some low-level work.
Only drawback is that you will need to reroot once you get your OTA updates.

Got OTA notification but....

...I downloaded the 4.0.4 update and went to install and reboot. But the phone got stuck at the screen with the android belly up and a exclamation point. Pulled the battery and rebooted and was at 4.0.2 still. Haven't gotten another OTA notification. Do I get another OTA alert or do I have to update manually.
I have a GSM Nexus, rooted but with stock 4.0.2. And I activated OTA RootKeeper before downloading the update. Any help will be greatly accepted.

Besides root and maybe unlock your bootloader, did you change anything in your system (install mods, different radio etc. or rename system files)? If you are not completely stock your OTA will not work and you will have to update manually or get back to Stock first.

Nothing changed. Except for root and unlocked bootloader everything is stock.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk
Well the screen you were looking at (Android belly up) is the stock recovery. If you see that: no need to pull battery. Simply push volume up + power simultaneously and you'll get into the recovery menu. Scrolling through the options can be done with the volume buttons, select with the power button.
That said: I think no one knows for sure but I myself would not wait and update myself. There are a lot of guides here on how to do that and if you flash the stock images you will have the same as anyone who had the OTA. Make a proper backup first (you allways should)! You will lose all your data if you have to unlock your bootloader.

Have you installed CWM recovery installed?
The "belly up" android is the phone trying to boot in the stock recovery to update the phone. But as you may have CWM recovery installed (which replaces the stock recovery) the phone cannot complete the update.
You will need to re-install the stock recovery. I believe you can do this with the GNex Toolkit.

Is it possible to get the Stock Recovery Screen when you have CWM installed? Didn't think that was possible... that it would just boot into CWM recovery. That is why I didn't mention it (trying to learn here).
Same problem here. Stock 4.0.2, rooted, CWM installed.
Does this mean we will lose settings before we are able to update the device?

this mean you are not eligible for the OTA update mate, because you have a custom recovery
i suggest you to
flash the stock rom manually
flash a custom rom wih 4.04 inside

custom recovery is needed in order to install custom ROM dude, is quite simple
and yes, you can root the stock ROM without custom recovery, there are a lot of guide about that in the developer section

So my only option to fix this now is flash 4.0.4 manually (will I lose stuff?) and then root again and get stock recovery back? Sorry for my n00b questions, thanks for your help!
Edit: would it be easier if I just get the stock recovery back and then try to get the OTA to turn up again?

I want to manually flash 4.0.4 and stay unrooted. Should I use the GNex Toolkit to flash 4.0.4 directly or do I need to flash the same version I have on my phone?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk
I had the same issue described by the OP, the belly up android when trying to update to 4.0.4 from the OTA notification. I had previously changed to 4.0.2 yakju using efrant's instructions from the first post in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1391881
However, I had skipped the optional sections. In particular step 12 to flash the recovery partition. I went back and just executed step 12 (fastboot flash recovery recovery.img) and rebooted. Then I was able to update to 4.0.4 successfully from the OTA notification.
I'm guessing I didn't have the "stock recovery" because I previously had the default Samsung version?
Just got the update again OTA, and again the belly up droid. I'm really pissed now, bc it also reset my Go launcher... Had 7 screens w/ widgets and shortcuts...
Why did it go wrong again? I thought I put back the recovery to stock to solve the OTA problem... Should I do other things? The phone starts to really slow down and I'm ready to toss this piece of c* in the bin...

I had the same issue just now with my phone (unlocked, rooted, stock revcovery), but a quick reboot allowed the update to complete and I'm now on 4.0.4. Did you check the version number again after this latest attempt?
Yes, still 4.0.2.
And of course, my phone says I'm up to date. Lovely, NAAAAAT!

[Q] Stock ROM 4.0.2 won't update

I have an unlocked Nexus on stock rom 4.0.2. I haven't been using for a couple of weeks. Finally I decided it's time to sell it. So I charged it up and reset to factory settings. On restart it told me that there is an update available.
Sweet! Let's do it. The phone restarts, goes into update mode and then somewhere in the middle it fails. After a minute it restarts and works ok, but the OS is still 4.0.2
This happened about a week ago. Since that time it has asked me to update 3-4 times and has failed every one of them.
Anyone can suggest me how to deal with this? I just want to upgrade it to 4.0.4 via normal way.
why bother updating when your anyways selling it
and why ru selling it by the way ?? is it buggy,faulty or something ??
i dont have my nexus with me yet but i'll can advice clearing that setting (and data if available) from settings and try checking update >> apply update
or simply screw all that manually flash 4.0.4
You have an update for which variant on which carrier???
This could be a download issues that happens. It should eventually work. But I don't know which carrier your on and also there could be OTA traffic.
If you changed kernel /radios/Stock recovery for cwm/twrp /Stock system apps the ota wont work..
If you want to flash yakju or takju(Stock factory images) follow efrant's guide

Not sure what do you mean by that. The update just pops up saying there is a new version available. The phone was bought in Czech Republic, it is not locked to any carrier.
It won't update if you don't have stock recovery.

If you "rooted" by flashing the root files using CWM, then you need to flash back the stock recovery for the update to work.

OTA after root question

So, I am sure somewhere deep in the bowels of the forum this has been answered before. Unfortunately my searches have not yielded any results. Please forgive me for repeating the question again.
I've Nexus, just over 2 weeks old. Loving it. Still like my Galaxy Note (international) but having JB and not having clipping blacks on the screen is a win win every time.
In any case, I have of course, unlocked bootloader and rooted it. I also have CWM installed and updated to the latest one with ROM Manager. The only other application that might be doing some changes to system files is Volume+, but I am not sure if it does not does not. There is of course SuperSU installed, Titanium, Root Explorer. Otherwise no other changes, additions, or removals, were done to the phone's software. It is still reporting JB 4.1.1 build JRO03C
My question, in this configuration will I still see OTA updates come up, whenever they appear, or not? And if yes, should I go through and OTA them or will that break something?
While having my GNote running stock ROMs I would not be getting any OTAs since I am in the wrong country for the CSC of the device/ROM. So I never had to deal with that question while using that device.
Thanks in advance for your answers.
Bump?

You will probably be notified of them if you have the 4.1.1 bootloader and radio installed. You can't accept it with CWM recovery though. And when you choose to flash it manually via CWM (when the files become available), you'll have to use something like "OTA root keeper" to hold onto root and let you apply the update. It'll properly install assuming you haven't modified system files.
Thank you

Hey,
I got an update notification this morning on Rogers. It is 86mb. I dont know what is new since i didnt install. Can I install over top of Clockwork recovery? If not how do I put stock recovery back on (Prefer not having to wipe data).

I downloaded the update but could not install it since I don't have the stock recovery. It tries to boot into the stock recovery but because I have TWRP installed it booted into that. I'll try a Kies update later to see if that works.
I got my notice and automatic download for mine as well on the Bell network. Samsung Canada along with the main carriers have put out the new I747MVLALH1 Firmware. Our OTA updates are smaller and will very by carrier because they only contain the files that need to be updated rather then the whole firmware itself.
This is very good news for all us Canadian 747 users because the LH1 Modem along with the firmware changes include a great deal of proformance/bug fixes, our launch firmware with our phones was kinda the ****s to say the least so this new one should really help out.
As for keeping root. I am using SuperSU root paid for the Pro version which has a Root keeper funtion in it when you update via OTA. However the update does require the stock recovery so if you have flashed CWM recovery you will need to flash the stock one back first then apply the update.
Just finishing my phone backup atm to my computer then will try the OTA Root Keeper and see how well it works out for me.
Any chance someone could post the modem I747MVLALH1?
I'm still home and downloading as we speak. I will cancel before the installation and if its still not posted online by the time I get to work, I will upload it somewhere.
BTW, the Rogers update is the same size. I have a feeling this update will include the removal of Universal search.

Anyone have a flashable version of this for the rooted folks?

I updated via the OTA, I try'd out Chainfires SuperSU Pro version which has a Root Keeper function to maintain root while updating on OTA, it did not work for our Canadian Models unfortunately but that is okay it is an experimental function anyways. At any rate I simpled flash CWM and push the SuperSU root app back onto my phone via CWM just fine to retain my root, and you can quickly and easily use chainfires Triangle away app to reset your flash counters.
Everything has worked fine for me. I am using the new LH1 firmware on my Bell phone and I am completed Rooted ^_^
For those less experianced and dont mind waiting for a root injected rom that is all good. For others you can take the steps I did and so far so good OMG I am loving LH1 over what we got out of the box!
You can also get the rogers and telus update through samsung-updates.com. ot will be a odin flash. I will do a modem cwm zip when i get home from work.

Is there a way to restore stock recovery? I'm asking because I have a backup of my touchwiz rom (currently running cm10) and I want to restore to that to get the OTA
I'm on rogers and it says there's no update. I want a brightness slider! I've missed it from my crappy on aokp. But I get my computer back this week. Time to play again.

Yes there is, one way is to flash the stock rogers odin firmware. It can be found at samsung-updates.com. the stock software has the stock recovery
