Too scared to update since I'm not on stock rom and it might make more problems with my airave but it's 39.7 MB.
Any news on this?

trust me if you are rooted it an't gonna install. If you keep pressing install later then it will keep poppin up that update notification. Just click install and it will try to install but it will not and you will no longer receive that notification.

hmmm, think its the lg8 update. i see you have the lg8 baseband but the build says lg2. if i'm right and the notification becomes a burden, replace your build.prop with this one and i bet the update notification goes away. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/39180283/build.prop (right click, save link as). Its from blazer just modded to look like its updated.

I'm still stock. Should I do this update will it make it harder to root? What is the l g 8 update?

flash this, you will be stock LG8, but rooted and all that, then flash theme afterward.

I'm guessing that it's just the notification for the "official" LG8 update that came out 2 weeks ago. I'll bet you've only been on custom roms since it came out so the system thinks you haven't updated yet.

I'm on Build number IMM76D.L710VPALG2. I tried this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1KeZx65twLk and downloaded the recovery file that it shows and the update file but when I try to install them I get an update aborted notification.
Do I need to update to a different version from LG2 before I can update to the latest LG9? Not sure where the problem is coming in
Also I still seem to have Superuser even after flashing the recovery file which is supposed to be stock with Odin. I'm not sure if that is what is causing the problem. Odin flashes the recovery file fine, not sure why its not taking.
The error that I'm getting is
E: Error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip
(Status 7)
Update:
Looks like something is just weird with the instructions on that Youtube video, I can't get that to work. Ran the Odex version in the developers section, (Odin stuff, Update, Modem) and now I'm at the latest. If anyone else runs into problems with the Youtube version it might be best to just use the instructions on the developers section, you don't need to erase your data it seems when you flash the Odex versions.

Unable to root stock Rom

Hi,
I've got some trouble to get a proper root mod on my phone. After i used some of the hints which can be found in this forum i didn't managed to get it running.
History of my mod-trys:
I got it running until i patched my stock Rom to the latest version via fota. (the feature pack for German roms)
Then i tried to go back to a stock Rom here at the forum - but with little success. I installed it but important not able to get the root mod running without errors.
This is a screenshot of superuser:

If i try to update i am getting an error.
Sadly i don't know what to do now to get this fixed. Iused many fresh installs / cleanup etc but everytime i install the update.zip via recovery - its messed up.

try to flash CWM with ODIN.. do not use adb shell because it needs root.. the try flash another ROM.. IT'S VERY RISKY.. I'M NOT RESPONSIBLE IF YOUR PHONE BRICKED
i've got cwm at the moment installed. As far as i understood the "root / unroot" thread it's not recommended to use this while rooting via recovery.
i used cwm to create a backup of my system and i rolled back it many times - so - thats working fine.
But my problem is that i don't find a suiteable custom rom for me - because it has to be "as stock as possbile". Meaning - i'm doing much development and testing with that phone - so it's not good if the mod can do things which i can't do with a stock rom. (Rooting is ok - i can handle that "mod" - if it works )
But i'm not firm enough with android core development to fix the root problem right now. Are there any manuals to use the "USB Debugging" Shell? I'm able to use that, too.
OR - if exsists - is there any _german_ stock rom out including the "value pack" addon? I just found a stock rom which is missing that. I guess there's coming with the value pack that causes rooting via update.zip going mad
i cant also root mine and i also have the value pack update but before i had the value pack i can still root my phone :CC

1. Put this in the Q&A thread.
2. This update came out months ago.
It's is just show up on my phone
Got the notification too but phone is unsuccessful on trying to upgrade from 4.1.1.
FWIW, I have the TWRP 2.5.0.0 bootloader and an unlocked/rooted stock ROM and the phone downloads 200+ MB of data and then reboots into TWRP. I then ask it to reboot into the system when it says the upgrade failed and boots me into 4.1.1 again.
I also just got the notification today.
I had previously had the 4.1.1 rooted stock ROM (the one that didn't trip the Flash counter) and was wondering if there was one for this update too.

if you need to update either go with customs roms with the same version but debloated, fixed and works really great or download the samsung stock firmware with Odin and you will go back to real stock with everything bloated and No ROOT

Unable to upgrade from 4.4 to 4.4.2

I have a Tmobile LTE Deb, it has 4.4, rooted with TWRP recovery. I received 4.4.2 OTA tonight, clicked reboot and upgrade, it went to TWRP but failed to upgrade, it went so quick, I couldn't see an error, I don't know where the OTA was downloaded to. So I downloaded 4.4.2 zip for LTE upgrade from the thread here, when I tried to flash it from TWRP, I received this weird error "This package is for DEB devices, this device is a FLO". I downloaded again, reinstall, same error. My device is a deb as you can see from the attachment. Any suggestions?
Thanks in advance.

Maybe it's the download for 4.4.2 from 4.4.1, and you still have 4.4. You can download the KRT16S to KOT49H or go from KRT16S to KOT49E then KOT49E to KOT49H. Go here

You're probably using a recovery made for flo. Download the one for deb and you should be good to go.
You're right on. Somehow the root toolkit flashed wrong TWRP. I flashed TWRP for Deb and it is good to go. Thanks a bunch!

[Q] Rooting problems

Hello i've some problem with my T-Mobile Galaxy Note 2.
Last week i updated my phone on Android 4.3 version.
Unfortunelly i had a wifi bug and I couldn't connect to internet, so I decided to downgrade it to 4.1.2. I've flashed my stock ROM with the newest one. (thanks to this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2102380 )
Afterward, i would rooting my phone and install custom binary CWM by this thread, option 2.
However i can't modifiy system files. I consequently would verify my status root by Titanium Backup. And that's really strange because it is already rooted.

So i'd like to know how to resolve my problem, i how to modify system files?
(PS: sorry for my bad English!)
PS2: That's the same thing if i connect it on SSH/FTP protocols, unable to modify too.
I have T889 version and I just updated today with 4.3 with no problem.
I would say the best thing is just start from scratch and reinstall your app.
I don't even use TB anymore, I used to but I just happen to run into problem a lot.
I decided to just reinstall apps everytime I flash rom.

So, do you advise me to re-install the 4.1.2 version and re-root again?
update: I've re-installed and re-rooting my stock rom and nothing has changed. Can you help me please?

Try using the Odin again and when you full wipe don't even do anything just update to the original 4.3 via Tmobile.
After that install CWM or TWRP, Like I said I never had any issues installing Rom back and forth.
Just don't skip a step and never rush things.

What Could Be Causing This High Usage Of Data While On Mobile Network?

So I was driving back yesterday and my phone notifies me that I'm reaching my data limit. I thought, "That's odd, I've only used 0.1 GB". So I look down and see this monstrosity of data being used by the damn Android OS. How the heck can you see what would individually be using data in the "Android OS" package cause it could be any number of things. I'm guessing it could have been a system update pull but I did disable OTA updates in developer settings. I have root as well and I would like to freeze that process with Titanium Backup if anyone knows what that process might be on the Pixel. Also any other suggestions as how to further troubleshoot this would be appreciated.

It's the update pull even though you are updated. We have seen this a few times with others. Get it updated.

Well when I go to system update and choose to install update it says that it failed. Any advice on that? Can you not properly install updates while rooted?
In terms of updating to the latest OTA I followed How To Geeks - FlashFire Guide which put my device into a endless bootloop so I don't recommend doing that.
Still looking to see if anyone knows what to freeze in Titanium Backup on Pixel to block OTA updates from downloading. Thanks.

You must of modded something that is stopping it. There is a way to sideload the OTA, but the third post in the thread below is how I do it each month. Have ro reroot afterwards.
Pay attention to the part where you remove the-w from flashall bat file. That is what saves your data.

I ended up flashing the original stock ROM off Google's website and then went threw the systemless root methods mentioned here.
I now have the below:
Android: 7.1.1 ROM: Factory (Rooted) Kernel: 3.18.31-ElementalX-P-1.08 Build: NOF27B
im having tons of data through the same thing. I ran a data manager app and it said its google.uid.system:1000 . I reset the rom to original as I have not installed any other rom then googles originals. I have some of the highest data downloads its crazy. I even turned off back up picture folders. Here is the data.
