[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

The only thing I did to that phone after unboxing it is rooting it. Nothing else has been changed.

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.

[Q] Will updating to JB - when it's out - unroot/brick my phone?

Hi Everyone!
So my question today is pretty simple, when JB is out for my SGH-I747m, and I update it OTA, will it remove the root I have installed (superuser), and or brick my phone because I have CWM recovery and BusyBox installed?
Thanks!
Michael

Most likely it wont install if you are not completely stock

It will not update unless you remove root(OTA Rootkeeper) and if you froze or removed the bloatware it may not work as well. It sounds like with the update that just came through this week it has to be pretty close to stock, with stock recovery to work OTA. Im sure there will be ways to flash it once these guys get ahold of the official files with CWM or Odin.

I got the app and it seems very interesting! Can't wait for an update to test it out!
Hopefully JB will come quick through the Carrier in October to our devices!!!

No update via OTA or Kies

Anytime I try to update my phone via OTA, it says connection failed (done so since I bought the phone in June). When I try to update via Kies, it says "This is the latest firmware" Current version: PDA:LG1 / PHONE:LG1 / CSC:LG1 (ATT); Latest firmware version PDA:LG1 / PHONE:LG1 / CSC:LG1 (ATT). I know there have been several updates as I'm on I747UCLG1. I was rooted, but reverted in attempt to exchange out my phone due to battery issues (which were instantly gone after returning to stock). My girlfriend also has the AT&T S3 which has always been stock and is having the same issues. Does anyone know why this is happening or a simple way to update (simple enough to explain to someone who is not tech savvy over the phone)? I just don't know why the phones show there isnt an update when there has been several.

The update after UCLG1 hasn't made it to kies. It's a staggered rollout it seems. Either that or it's been pulled.

I have the exact same issue. My phone says the server is unavailable OTA, and Kies says I have the latest firmware. I took my phone to an AT&T store, and the guys were clueless. My friend got the update on his phone and it's really no big deal, but just keep your fingers crossed it doesn't do this when Jelly Bean comes out.

I had the same issue, LG1 would only show up, couldnt get the LH9 to even show up via OTA, kept telling its is up to date.
So I ended up just grabbing the stock LH9 update.zip that gunnyman put up in another thread and just used that on the stock recovery to update it to LH9.

I just had a crazy idea. I have quite a bit of bloatware and pre installed apps disabled. Can that be the problem and is messing up the update?

Thats the post to where gunnyman put the original OTA update.
Take that file, rename it to update.zip and copy it to the root of the internal storage. Then boot into STOCK recovery, not CWM (if you have CWM, you will have to put it back to STOCK recovery) and choose update via zip file, and choose that zip file, it will update just like the OTA does and be identical to stock OTA update. Then you done.

Do I need to be rooted for this to work? I know you can do this same procedure unrooted with the Jelly Bean leak.

If you are asking me, then no. You need to be on stock recovery and you cannot have any FROZEN apps via Titanium Backup as the update itself is an offset patch, so it cannot find the file (because you froze it) then it will fail.
Dixit

I downloaded the file and renamed it to update.zip. I saved it my internal SD card, and it's not showing up in stock recovery. Did I do something wrong? Oh yeah, if I update this way, can I still connect to Kies or will my device be "modified"?

I dont think it will work on internal, I cant remember though. I believe I put it on my External SD as I have one in there. If you have one, put it in there and it should work. It will not show "modified" on status, that only shows up if you are rooted.

Ok thanks. I've been to lazy to go out and buy an SD card lately. When Jelly Bean comes out, this means I will be able to get it through Kies right?

Yes. This is an ORIGINAL STOCK update, its not modified in any way shape or form, so dont worry, its not going to affect your future updatability. That only gets affected when you are rooted. Updates like this one where its patch offset based, the update will fail due to when you root most people freeze apps. That fails automatically on patch offset updates.
Jellybean may be a full udpate which Kies will do.

Thank you so much Dixit. You really helped me out. I did what you said and the update was installed no problem.

Error while updating to 4.3 OTA

I received an update notification through OTA, and I've start the upgrade process, the device restarted to do the upgrade, but while upgrading it gave an error and hanged, I've removed the battery and start the phone, but I'm still on 4.2.2, and whenever I try to check for update it gave that there's no update.

Is your phone stock? If you're rooted and made any modifications to system files (mods, build.prop edits, etc) your phone will fail during the OTA. You need to be completely stock on the latest 4.2.2 radios for your model. Basically you have to be more or less on the 4.2.2 OTA to get 4.3.... always been like that for every android version though.
Can't you fasboot flash the factory images?

Exactly what happened to me. So, I flashed factory images, received OTA for 4.2.2, cleared Google Services Framework several times, 4.3 showed up. In process of installing. Good to go.

I think flashing the image it's the easiest way, any one had the link for yakju?

Also happened to me. Cleared "Google Services Framework" and tried to re-install 4.3 when it came down.
Still got an error
Any ideas?

sant0d, you are da best. Not that I need this, but you've done a lot to ontribute to this model phone. So thank you.

This work with your KitKat ROMs too?
I just went through and flashed your Odex Debloated KitKat ROM, and downloaded this to block the OTA from happening. However, I just noticed the last update of this is from December. Is it still OK to flash this on top of the KitKat ROM, or is that going to muck up things? (Or did you already "bake" it in by getting rid of some of the stuff in the debloat process?).
Thanks again!

It should still work fine on KK.
But the debloated rom already has the OTA stuff removed.
Look in Settings > see anywhere to even check for a software update? No you won't...
It's already been removed.

Stock Un-Rooted HTC One..?
My husbands phone (which he refused to let me root when we had the chance, has been giving him a lot of grief with this latest OTA. It keeps downloading, attempting to install, and there errors 410 update failed, and exits software update. When I checked his phone after the latest attempt by the phone to install 4.4.3 to see if the download was still ON his device, it had disappeared with the failure of the update.
My question is, he's just sick of getting the prompt, error, and reboot - as a temp fix, can I push this OTA Killer onto his phone even though it isn't rooted and have it work, or do I need to find a signed RUU of the 4.4.3 and flash in bootloader (as I was originally planning on doing, but came across this...)
Thanks in advance!!!

If he has a custom recovery installed, then it will work. Have you tried downloading the OTAzip to his SD card and running the ota directly from stock recovery?
Get into recovery, select install update from SD, select OTAzip.

NO, no custom recovery installed, everything is 100% stock. He spent a good part of 3 hours with tech support with Verizon and HTC and they were both dumbfounded....go figure!
Problem is because it's a virtual SD, I have no way of verifying (without root) that it's even downloaded to the virtual one on the M7. Would it hurt anything to take a shot at it from stock recovery.....?
Or is there a link someone could suggest to a download to the OTApkg file?

would this help my problem??
I recently read a post, I don't know where now, but it had to do with a hidden Trojan/malware. That was started in 2013... After reading, thinking back to when this really started affecting me Feb,26, 2015. I noticed some strange things mentioned in my service log from around that date. The post mentioned how it places a high tracker in some obscure app. Unfortunately I got the bug, BAD!!! So not knowing about this until I made it worse by plugging my phone into my computer... I'm sure you can figure out the rest. My everything is screwed now. My HTC one m7, is the only device I can use period, now. I tried to root, and couldn't. Then downloaded another root checker, and it said my device was already rooted. Is there anything I can do(on my knees begging). This has to be the worst inter-web experience ever. Any and all ideas, advice, similar problems, links, and time are greatly appreciated. Thank you
