[Q] Cant install OTA jelly bean update with CWM - Sprint LG Optimus G

So I've been lurking these forums for quite a while over the years. Anyway I used the root method here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2039421which worked flawlessly, I must add.
Today I received notification that a new version of android was ready to be installed and now upon reboot I'm stuck in a loop. CWM recovery boots but cannot install the update.zip. i get the following error messages:
installing /sdcard/update.zip
finding update package
E: cant mount /sdcard/update.zip
Installation aborted.
Manually trying to browse for the zip file does nothing. Ive tried clearing davik/fixing permissions. Is there any way of updating besides flashing the stock recovery?

You are currently unlocked and thus cannot update via ota. Also, the current update is still ics. You probably need to come to irc for help.

Thanks to all the guys on irc and especially shelnutt2! you guys are awesome

I have the same problem, please help!
I have the same problem with my optimus g. Can someone please help! What is irc?

The IRC is a web chat room where the devs work on the device and help people with soft bricked phones and many other issues.
Can find it at WWW. http://webchat.freenode.net and the room is lg-optimus-g if I remember correctly I at work and don't have my comp with me.

Thank you. I am looking now.

Jelly bean update?

This is caused by your bootloader being unlocked. Restore your boot.img and associated files that you backed up during the FreeGee process and you will be good to go.

I think trying to install an ota without the stock recovery screws up the misc partition. I would recommend:
1. Don't upgrade with ota's (duh)
2.If you do, get help in irc before you do something the helpful folks there don't know how to fix.

[Q] root, install cyanogen 10, and sim unlock the SC-04D docomo (japan)

I I just received my galaxy nexus SC-04D locked to docomo,
My goal is to have it rooted, running cyanogenmod 10, and carrier unlocked.
Which order do I do things in, and which guides should I use for each step?
I am a little worried that if I first root, then install cyanogenmod10 that the **** docomo app will not work on cyanogenmod10..?
and do I have to unlock a bootloader? (i dont even know what that means)
Thank you.. I:m a relative newbie and am looking forward to exploring everything available for a power user of a rooted nexus.

I did as you said and got closer to success, but it CM10 got stuck in bootloop.. so I went in to try to hipe or restore, and now it seems i:ve wiped too much, when I click reboot, it says *no OS installed! are you sure you want to reboot?* so now i:m pretty messed up..
when I click install it shows two nightly:s that i:ve downloaded, but when i try to flash it , it gives me that same erorr

[Q] Rooted Note2/CWM. Error on OTA AT&T update

Phone: Samsung SGH-I317
Android Version: 4.1.2
I got my new note 2 last week and made it about 2 days before i had to root it and install CWM as i had on my Galaxy SII (which was on US Cellular). I rooted it without difficulty, installed rom manager and installed the newest version of CWM for the Note 2 v6.0.2.5. Here is where my first and only problem has come up.
I tried doing a small 8.45mb OTA AT&T update on the phone ( i did the 4.1.2 OTA update before i rooted it). It downloaded no problem then brought the prompt up that the phone must restart to install. It goes to CWM recovery no problem to install then i get this.

I have searched XDA, google, ect trying to find an answer but am at a loss to why i cant install the OTA updates. Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thanks XDA for the help.
Generally if you have a custom recovery installed you can not install OTA`s
Same happened to with the S3. Any fix?
No fix...
Unless the device uses the stock 3e recovery. ..
The device can be returned to stock...then the OTA taken. ..then root and flash the custom recovery again. ..
Then back up the newer build for later use. ..g

TWRP Recovery & Possible ROM Issues

I rooted my kindle fire using kfu 9.8. As of this moment when I install roms they do not boot up and they stay at the boot logo. I dont know if it has to do with TWRP or the roms, but I have tried 2 cm10 roms and one AOSP 4.2.2 rom. I will tell you exactly what I did.
1. Rooted with kfu
2. went straight to recovery, flashed the aosp rom + google apps
3. Booted up and it stayed at the boot screen
4. Tried another rom, put it onto the device through usb mounting with twrp
5. Still stuck at boot logo
6. Tried the last rom but still stuck!!
After that I tried to flash back to stock using this
(doesnt let me post a link if requested I will pm)
But twrp gave an error and it did not install, it said somewhere an error doesnt matter and you would boot up fine but I didnt
Between installing all Roms I wiped cache, dalvik, and factory reset.
Thanks in advnce!
EDIT
Used this to try to bring to stock

PLEASE HELP! Kindle Fire 1st Gen. I've looked everywhere for answers
Okay, This is the first time Ive ever posted anything on this site. Normally I just search for answers and people usually have already solved the problem so I just go off what other people post. But now I cannot seem to find any fix I rooted my Kindle Fire 1st Generation. I was running TWRP 2.2.2. and a Hellfire ROM. I went on vacation and left my Kindle at home. When I got back, most of my apps weren't working properly and my keyboard was glitching so I tried to update my ROM. It was unsuccessful. So I thought maybe if I upgraded my TWRP Recovery to the latest version It would fix the problem... I was wrong. Whenever I try to flash any ROM I get an error like this... (E:Error executing updater binary) I have searched for answers for about a month now and nothing seems to work. I dont know what to do and I feel like crying. Can someone please help me? Please?

[Q] galaxy nexus 4.2 stock recovery

my bro got a rooted galaxy nexus with CWM recovery !
we want to install the OTA updates (Device status is normal so he can download the update) the problem is he gets Failed message when he tries to install updates because of CWM recovery! anyone knows how to get back to Stock recovery on nexus i'm noob in nexus fastboot stuff (CMD fastboot command)! also the proper stock recovery.img PLZ ... (i've attached a screen shot of the setting -> About device Screen).
he does not get the error message because of CWM.

4.1.2 Update problem

I started posting on a thread in the general section but think it is better suited over here. I apologize for the double post but thought it would get more eyes with a suggestion on it over here.
I was running a Stock ROM, rooted and unlocked 4.1.1. I have not been able to update to 4.1.2. I tried using CWM, TWRP, stock recovery and ODIN. CWM and TWRP give an error and won't install the update. I completely reflashed to stock and downloaded the OTA using the stock method. It tries to udpate and stops. After restarting it gives a message that the update was interupted.
I have tried installing the update through stock recovery with the file on the external SD card and the following message appears.
The other message that comes up when trying to update through stock recovery is
assert failed: apply_patch_check("/system/app/Facelock.apk", :c0c83a8c5d02786abed70758022dce17e1fb3a6f", "1bel1a17f8063aba12220a38a38caa7b3382ec96bbeb")

It sounds like your stock Rom is rooted. Unroot and try again. Same thing happened top me this morning as i did the update.zip again for a project. Unrooted with SuperSU and then it ran like normal. Don't forget to back up your internal sd, as it will be wiped in the process
You can just flash the already rooted 4.1.2?
Unless you want to download it from att? Wouldn't make sense to me.

I had similar problem, but the error was with bootanimation. I found my original file and put it where the update was looking for it. I am willing to bet that the Facelock.apk is not in /system/app or there is a problem with that file.
