Hello. I have a Galaxy Nexus on Verizon's network and it keeps giving me a pop up notification that there is a system update available, the IMM76K update. However, my phone is already on Android version 4.0.4. I am rooted, running the Axiom ROM (Axiom Crossbreed Monolith B1), and have Clockwork Mod Recovery. I can't get the notification to go away, and it obviously fails if I try to hit update. I've read some similar threads about problems people have had when they try to install the update, but my problem is different because I'm pretty sure it doesn't actually need the update, I just need to get rid of the pop up. Can anyone help me?
All the OTA does is check to see if your footprint is proper (via build.prop check) to get the update, then pushes it. It doesn't really care if you're on a custom ROM so you can still receive the OTA when you don't actually want it (that's where you're at now).
Basically what's going on is the custom ROM maker isn't blocking OTAs (they should be) and you're gonna keep getting bothered by it until they fix that or integrate the OTA code into their new release.
Great. So basically I should check to see if there is a more updated version of the ROM or I should try getting a new ROM which is blocking the OTAs?

Yes. This seems to be a recurring issue and I'm not sure why these ROM makers aren't integrating an "FOTA kill" service.

I ignored the pop-up and it expired after 2-3 days. But don't initiate the update or you might end up with a bricked phone or be stuck in a boot loop. If you don't want to wait for the dialogue to disappear, you can search for FOTAKill.apk and install.
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.

The update to 4.1.2 on the AT&T S3 was released a few days ago and I am still unable to do the udpate. I have tried deleting the data from Google Services Framework, I have tried on Wifi or the data network, I've tried Kies (not on Kies yet apparently), I've done the clock trick, I've tried every conceivable idea I could think of to get the OTA update, but it just wont show up. I press software update and it checks and after a few minutes it says "Software Update Interrupted." I am rooted and on the stock ROM with stock recovery. Only superuser. Somebody please help!

Just use the update.zip in the general section. It works with stock recovery but you'll need an external SD.

So there is no way to update without wiping my data other than the official OTA update which for some reason won't show up?
The ota can take some time to get to everyone. I tried going the official route, but it's a 200mb download and it seemed to be downloading on dial up speed. The update servers were def getting hammered. Just be patient. If you don't want to be patient, pull everything off your internal card, backup your apps on an external sd, use the update.zip method. Those are your choices.

So can you provide a link? I can't find it. The link here I keep finding on the internet says its for GS3, but then when you go to the link, it says GS4 on the top left corner: file ID 23060877489997375 on android file host (It wont let me post links here to show you)
I even called AT&T about this and they said my phone is an Unlocked version. .I'm like what are you talking about I have gotten OTA's before.. then I remembered I had to send it to Samsung for warranty repair.
A link to the STOCK I747UCDMG2 would be awesome. Even better if it didn't wipe the device, but no big deal I can just root and use titanium. Should I unroot before running the update? (And the problem started before I rooted.. It keeps saying software update interrupted,)
Thanks

s3 4.1.2 update interrupted. shows 4.1.1 version up to date ever since
So I tried to update my at&t s3 to 4.1.2 last week when I realized it was available, everything seemed to go well until it did not stop downloading the update when it reached the total file size, I let it keep going and do its thing and finally it stopped at 367 MB instead of 229 that it showed. Then it froze and showed that the update was interrupted, and ever since, when I tried to update it again, it tells me that my current version is up to date, it's been over a week and nothing has changed. I looked all over online and no one has really had this problem but me. Then I came across this site, it may be wishful thinking, but if anyone has any idea on what I can do to get this update, I'd be forever grateful! P.S. I have done factory reset and still with no luck..
If you are stock and have twrp flash the update zip in the original post here, then flash the other zip several pages in to update the bootloader and modem. I did it without wiping data and everything was just like before except I now have the update. Didn't lose any of my settings, apps, etc...I don't usually recommend a dirty flash but I have had zero problems with either my daughter's or my phone since doing this. Even my root was retained.

Hello All,
I am a beginner to all this stuff. I wanted to root my phone after seeing OnePlus One running on CyanogenMod. So, first I tried to directly install the Mod using the softwares downloaded from Cyanogen's website. But the software gave the error "Unsupported Firmware". Then I researched a bit on manually installing the mod. I followed the instructions.
- First I rooted my phone with Odin 3.09v
- Installed ROM Manger on my phone (Meanwhile the SuperSU app kept on crashing)
- Somehow I managed to install ClockworkMod (What I did was downloaded SuperSU apk, installed it again. It started working and then, not losing the chance I installed ClockworkMod).
- Then I tried to install CyanogenMod through ROM Manager
- My phone re-booted and then gave a error "Can't install package on incompatible data".
- I'm having the latest snapshot version on CyanogenMod.
- Then I left the things as it is. No rooting, unrooting, etc.
- So, now I tried to take backup of my current ROM, in case something happens at least I'll be having something with me to recover
- I used ROM Manager to take backup. But it gave the error "Can't create the image"
So, now I'm stuck between middle of nowhere. Please help me out to reach to some point.

Ok, first I think your SuperSu is not working properly. Open the Supersu app to see if it needs to update binaries. If it continues to crash, go into recovery manually (not using rom manager) and flash the latest SuperSu. Wipe Cache, go to advanced and Wipe Dalvik. Reboot. Your phone will say "android is upgrading" for a bit. Once it's booted up, go back into the supersu app and see if it needs to update binaries, if so- let it update, if not- move on. Here's a link to download SuperSu 2.02
Go back into recovery manually and select backup and restore-> backup to sdcard (or sdcard1, external sd, is my preference) This will start the backup process.
Once that is done, you need to find the CyanogenMod file specific to your phone, then you can enter recovery and flash it.
If you have trouble entering recovery, you can flash a new one via recovery or with odin.
Hello absinthesummer,
I followed every instruction you told. Now I'm done till creating backup. The problem now I'm facing is this 'Status 7' error. It says "Can't install package on incompatible data.....". Now what to do?
Status 7 is a very specific error. It means your recovery is out of date. Get the absolute newest you can find and try again. This is good news though, you've got progress!
---------- Post added at 11:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:46 AM ----------
Edit: flash the latest recovery you can find via Odin. You probably won't be able to do it in recovery while you're getting the status 7 error.

No, I've got the latest recovery. But I figured out the problem. It was with the package I downloaded. The CM 11 M9 version was giving errors. I researched and tried few fixes, but still it didn't work.
The fixes I tried :-
1. Deleting some coding lines from the updater-script file. But this fix gave the status 6 error.
2. Changing the updater-script file format to UNIX format. Then again it gave the status 7 error.
So, what I did, when I had no more brain to fix it, I downloaded the CM 11 M6 version and tried installing it. And VOILA! It worked. Then I updated it to M9 version through phone. Now it's working. Though it has some bugs. And some features are missing too that I wanted badly.

Awesome! I'm glad you got it working. You can also try comparing the two files to see what's different, or maybe swap the updater script. Maybe you'll be able to get the one you wanted working with a little modification

Thanks to you. You too helped me in working it out!
But, I have some more questions
Question 1 : If I flash stock ROM on my rooted phone, will I receive the new updates? If yes, will I be able to install them via Kies on my phone without getting into any trouble?
Question 2 : If I install stock ROM of any other phone, say Galaxy S5, will it work on my phone properly without any problems? If yes, will I receive the updates for that too and able to install them via Kies? If no, is there any way to install it? Cause I have seen people using S5 ROM on Note 2.
First question the answer is yes. As long as you have the stock recovery and stock kernel (along with the stock rom) you will receive ota updates. You can use ota root keeper (an app) to keep root during an ota update. There are many people who choose to stay fully stock but root to get rid of bloatware & stuff. However, if you want to get ota, I recommend freezing the bloatware instead of uninstalling, because an ota usually replaces old bloatware with new bloatware and can sometimes abort the ota if those apps are missing... but keep on mind this is not always the case, only certain devices.
Second question, no you cannot. Roms from other devices have to be ported to be compatible. But if you look in the development forums, you can find many roms that are basically stock but have specific features from other roms, along with the system ui (ie S5, note 3, & so forth). These rom devs have ported either parts/features or full on roms to be compatible on our device. They are excellent! I recommend reading up them and if you see some you like, try them out!

- Stock Recovery
- Stock Kernel
- OTA Root Keeper
- Bloatware
Well, to be honest, just right now I learned these new terms but know nothing about them. Can you please give me a brief description for these four terms so that when I do advanced search on them, I'd have a idea in my mind about what these are. It will make it easy for me to understand the advance things.
And I'm looking for S5 ROM for my phone. Let's see what I get.
One more question. I made a backup of my rooted stock ROM via latest ClockwordMod, manually. Now, if I reset the binary counter using Triangle Away and then wipe Cache and Dalvik and then flash my stock ROM which is located on my memory card and then after flashing I use SuperSU to unroot and then a factory reset (I don't know the method of factory reseting cause I'm confused. Whether to do it manually, like going into recovery mode or just from the phone settings. So please tell me this also.), will my phone be unrooted totally?
And sorry for bugging you so much. I hate to do that, but I don't want to take risk with my phone. So I am just collecting information. I hope so many queries are not a problem for you.
Ok...
You already know what a rom is. A kernel is a lower-level base. It controls the hardware. So when you do something on the interface, in the rom, it tells the hardware how to react. (Ie if you're playing music it tells which speakers to play and how loudly). The kernel controls almost everything you can't see, it relates to performance. Most stock kernels can be limiting as they underclock the cpu by a certain percentage. Because of this, people seek out custom kernels to max out their device's potential. Louder speakers, faster cpu, better graphics, etc. This is all stuff the kernel can optimize... but because you can change so many factors there is a risk of instability if you push your device too hard (max performance) or limit it too much (max battery saving).
Recovery is exactly what it sounds like. When you boot your device the very first screen that pops up is the bootloader. It's giving you time to boot in 3 different modes. The first mode, by doing nothing, is a normal boot into the rom/OS. The second mode, which you get to by one button combination, takes you to recovery. The stock recovery is very limited. It gives you the option to factory restore, wipe cache, update, or boot normally. Stock recovery only exists for emergencies, if your phone fails to boot normally. We have custom recoveries so we can do more stuff, flash custom roms and tinker with things. The third mode is download mode/Odin mode. This is the bootloader interface itself. It's the last resort for recovery if your recovery has been damaged or corrupted. It allows you to connect to Odin or kies and perform an emergency recovery of the device. If you damage your bootloader, your device is completely bricked.
So the order of operation is this:
Lowest level- bootloader
Second level- recovery
Third level- kernel
Fourth level- rom
Bloatware is all the pre-installed apps that your carrier adds to your phone. Most people don't use it, don't like it, and don't want it. That why we root. Without root we basically are just guest users of the device. With root we become the administrators of the device. Until you root, your carrier has admin rights over your phone (to use windows terms).
When you receive an ota update, your carrier can make it to where the update won't proceed if their pre-installed apps have been removed (although this isn't always the case). Additionally, the update package itself checks the integrity of the device. It checks recovery, kernel, and rom. If any have been altered, it will not proceed because it could cause conflict and potentially brick your device. That's why those things have to be stock.
Ota root keeper is simply an app that backs up your superuser rights before an update and restores them after its done.
You should be able to find plenty of roms with S5 features. I'm using one that makes my device fully like an S5 (my device even thinks it is an S5 and every app identifies it as such) I can think of at least 2 others as well. There's plenty to choose from, and if you see a rom you like but it's mudding a particular feature, you can probably find that feature as a stand-alone installation in the forum's themes & apps section. Just about every feature of S5, S4, and note 3 has been ported to this device, so look around!
Also, for future reference, if someone helps you on the forum, hit the thanks button instead of saying it. I don't mind either way, but some people get annoyed and will stop helping them if they don't hit that button lol. It's silly, but it's part of "forum decorum"

You're fine, I don't mind answering your questions. Yes, you can unroot fully in the way you just mentioned but you don't even have to go through all the trouble of factory reset. Just unroot in the app. The app can be uninstalled afterwards via the play store.
You can factory reset either way, the same commands are given no matter which way you go about it. But it can be more efficient to do it from recovery because when you do it from the rom it has to create a wipe script for when it reboots, and it has to shut down the rom first. If you do it from recovery it doesn't have to anything, the rom isn't running and it can execute the wipe command immediately. (The wipe command is wipe /data /cache etc)
Thanks again for all that great info!
Questions : Is there no way to fix the Bootloader if it gets damaged by chance? And which S5 ROM are you using?

If you damage the bootloader it's a hard brick and you would have to send it in for jtag services (this is a low level emmc chip flash service) The bootloader won't get damaged unless you do something to corrupt it. If you ever feel the need to flash a new bootloader, do it via Odin, never recovery! If you remember that you should be fine.

I meant to tell you I'm using DN3 rom. It has an aroma installer that lets you choose whether you want an S5 ui, a note 3 ui or a mixed ui. Choosing S5 ui & S5 build prop allows your device to work with S5 apps & it looks just like an S5. It's not the only rom out there, but it's beautiful, fast, and stable & the team works hard on it.

Hey absinthesummer!
I tried to unroot my phone with the method I told you. But in the restore option, I am stuck at 'Checking MD5 Sums..'. What to do now?
MD5 checking takes forever! You have to wait it out. Most recoveries offer a way to turn it off. You shouldn't have to factory reset though, just click unroot in the super su app and then uninstall the app from the play store.

I waited and the system was restored. But I got an error on 'Restoring Data'. I rebooted the phone and now it's showing glowing Samsung logo from like 3-4 minutes.
I've seen that before. Can you get back into recovery? You may have to flash stock in Odin, flash recovery and then do the Restore again. Data got messed up.

I'll try removing the battery now. Let's see what happens.
Ok if you can get into recovery, do a fresh flash and then try to restore again. And see if it offers a way to turn off MD5 checking. That's why I use philz or twrp, they offer that and move much faster through MD5 check by default.

If you still fail on data, flash stock in Odin, flash custom recovery, then you should be able to enter recovery and have a successful restore.
Hi there

@ Dsbhai
Thanks for the suggestion, I have tried it and I still encounter the same problem.
Still receiving the updates OTA from the server, but it fails to install each time.
I'm still unable to update my phone with this update and have even done a 'factory reset'. Initially I thought I had bricked the phone as it was stuck in the boot animation loop, however after awhile it did restart.
Is it possible to install the update using ADB or even with a Custom Recovery?
You may be able to update using a custom recovery
And as you have done a factory reset already why not flash the ROM through SP Flash tools and then update accordingly
Hi there
I'm reviving this old thread as I still have been unable to update the security patches from Google ie stuck on trying to install March 2016.
It's really really strange as each time I go online the March update is flagged up to be installed.
Can this be correct? Surely, Google stops the OTA links after a set time?
If anyone could provide me with some basic steps to undertake to get control of my phone back, it would be appreciated.
I'm still on stock 6.01 and have only the stock recovery options available to me.
Thanks for reading this post (again!).
BTW Why are the stock roms for sprout4 & 8 not listed here ??
