Update after root ? - Acer Iconia Tab A100

Hi Devs
I rooted my A100 ICS, couple weeks ago and now there an official update available OTA.
I hesitated to accept it, and then just downloaded it and install.
when it restarted a popup message says: update fail.
does rooting have anything to do with this .
is there any solution to this ?
Thanks

I have updated ota with a rooted tab, it went fine and justed needed to reroot with zernulls method.
If you removed any bloatware/system apps, it will fail. Hopefully you have a ti backup of everything.
Edit: if you need to reinstall a system app, you can try and go to /system/app, and click on the apk to reinstall it.

[Q] Problem with root after OTA and Voodoo VZW/Gnex

On my Verizon Gnex before the OTA to 4.0.4 I was rooted but still on the stock ROM and I ran the Voodoo Rootkeeper to make it easy to get back root afterwards. Once I got the OTA I restored root and the existing programs I had been using still seemed to work, but I was no longer getting screen notifications when one of those apps was granted root. I also applied the few updates to superuser and it's now fully up to date.
Last night I went to the approved apps list in superuser and saw multiple entries for one of my apps, so I figured I'd delete them all and reauthorize it again, but now I never get a prompt to add it, it just fails.
So it appears that either the current version of superuser is hosed or not installed properly. Voodo indicated that root permissions aren't granted in its status screen, but gives no indication on how to fix this. So I'm wondering how I should fix this. Is there a way to uninstall/reinstall the superuser app easily or do I have to go back through some part of the rooting process over again, or should I wipe and flash all the way to stock and start over?

Does anyone know what file/apk to change to stop OTA

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.

[Q] (First Post) My phone is broken please help :(

Ok so I have the gt-i9195 s4 mini. It was rooted but I needed to update it so I decided to un root it. With the root installed I couldn't update I just got a notification saying it was modified :/ So basically after I un rooted it I still couldn't update. After finding out I still couldn't update I factory reset it. Even after that I couldn't update. I didn't want to f*** it up any more so decided I wouldn't update it and just leave it. All was going well I set it up fine but then I go to download an app but I can't sign in to the play store because it can't establish a connection. I google a fix and followed multiple guides but none have worked. Is my phone fixable? If anyone knows how I can fix this and update it to the latest update please tell me Thanks

Update Error

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?

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.

How do I prevent OTA updates?

A couple hours ago my phone with unlocked bootloader, twrp and magisk root installed an OTA update without me initiating it. This failed and the phone was stuck in twrp recovery and couldn't boot until I flashed a stock rom through fastboot and restored my backups.
Now I want to prevent this from happening again. How do I block the phone from checking for OTA updates?
I will have to install them manually anyway so the OTA checking is not helpful.
Same thing happened to me except I was dumb enough to try and install myself the update... You can install Titanium Backup and freeze the Motorola Update app. Also, you can go under dev options and disable automatic updates (this alone didn't work for me).
How to prevent OTA updates, without root, please?
I followed this guide, the method 4 worked for me when my phone was rooted.
http://www.droidviews.com/disable-ota-notifications-android-devices/
With help from the Google, I finally recalled how I'd done it in the past.
Initially, I thought rooting would stop OTA updates, but that may have been prior to Marshmallow or with SuperSU.
This time, I used Titanium Backup (must be rooted) to freeze the MOTOROLA UPDATE SERVICE app.
As soon as it was frozen, the OTA notification disappeared from the notification bar and I gave not seen it return, for a couple days.
Yay! I didn't want to go beyond the stock firmware version that is available and I really didn't want Oreo.
Another way is to use a firewall app.
Also you can just add Motorola's address to your 'host' file to block it
Im the opposite, I want the notifications, without the automatic installation.
Wonder if I changed the permissions of the folder the updates download to, would that prevent automatic install?
also, there is an option in developer options, to turn off OTA.
