I've been trying to update my phone with this new OTA for the past 2 days but i haven't been able to. I am rooted but i flashed the stock recovery in order to install this new OTA. I download the update and I choose install now and the phone reboots but when it goes into recovery the progress bar gets to half way and then stops and shows the error screen with the phone and the exclamation point inside the red triangle. Anyone had this issue before? Is it because my bootloader is unlocked? I don't think it is because when I did the update for the battery my bootloader was unlocked and the update was succesful. Can anyone tell me why the update never finishes? I've tried several times to download the update again and try to install it again but nothing works.

Turns out I have to be unrooted haha thanks. I an having second thoughts about applying this OTA as I read that it updates hboot and makes it impossible to use the stock RUU.

I've never gone back to stock since I flashed the first custom rom, stock sucks, if you like sense try a custom sense rom, they are so much better
Stock is alright, I just went back to stock a couple days back, I had Rhythmic Rom 1.2 but I had to go back to stock cus my phone would reboot 3-5 times every day and its just annoying.

Hello, i have rooted my desire, didn't install a custom rom yet, just rooted. But OTA update doesnt work... it downloads, restarts, starts installing and ends with the phone logo with a red question mark above it. Is this normal behaviour? After that it reboots with the update not applied...

You can't run OTA updates while rooted etc. Even if itdid work you would loose root etc.

So i update to the new Evo update and i get stuck on a black screen with an android guy confused as hell with a triangle...whas mean?
what state was the phone in before u tried to update. was it rooted, custom recovery, completely stock?
...another victim.
You tried booting into recovery, but stock recovery is no recovery, marked by the triangle and red !. If you're still s-off, flash a recovery, CWM or amon_ra, then flash a rom.

That's stock recovery
I would say pull the battery and leave it for 10 minutes or so. Worked for me once in the past. Hope that helps. Good luck!
it was rooted with the newest (nightly) of CM7, i booted into clockwork mod recovery cause i wanted to switch to stock so i could recieve new update. so i cleared all my data then performed a recovery that put me to the stock ROM (rooted) then cleared phone again to have a total fresh install and then searched for the update and downloaded it and tried installing it but its all like, HEY YOU CANT DO THAT DLFJOEIFJDKFJDF. Halp.

Boot into the bootloader, turn your phone off, while turning it on, hold the vol+down key till you see a white screen with androids skateboarding. At the top you'll see either s-on or off; If s-off, reflash a recovery via PC36IMG, then flash another rom.
okay, i am s-off so basically find a stock ROM flash it then check for the update?

No...the rooted stock OTA roms aren't out yet. Probably by the end of the day. Just flash a rom and just coast till now; like I said, virus should have it by the end of the day.
Okay, I mean my phone works and everything I'm just on the stock rooted ROM (previous to the newest 2.3) I'm just a little confused as to how its not letting me update, I thought the fact that i was rooted didn't really matter cause it would just unroot and wipe out everything.
Triangle Update Error
I am getting the same triangle update error. I have a rooted phone using unrevoked 3. My buddie has the same set up and we both are getting the error. We are trying to un-root our phones to a stock rom but neither of us can find one that removes unrevoked root. Can anyone help. I am a web/graphics computer guy. I don't know much about roms.
Thanks,
Nick

Well if you're on aosp, you can't update, you'd have to be on a sense rom. And you should never accept an OTA while rooted, as it can brick your phone, or permanently use root.
i am on a sense ROM its the stock ROM and i just ran unrevoked.
Anyone else trying to update stock to 4.53.651.1 but it fails to install? If you take the ota after revolutionarys unlock I can not install the update. I believe this is due to the hboot version. Which seems to be how they got around the locking in he first place.
Also where is the ota on the phone? I want to pull it off the phone and try a re ruu and install it again.

Have you checked Development section for the latest stock rom. Also why would you try to do an OTA after rooting. It may take away your root. Just wait it out or try a custom rom that probably has more than the stock 4.53 rom.
You rooted to get away from stock why go back when you now have options better than stock.
Rooted Stock Roms link here
Getting root back isn't a problem. I want a nandroid backup with the.latest. the original reason for me to root wasn't to run a custom Rom. It was to remove the extra bloatware.
But after being in the EVO for a few months now I am going to play with the other roms. I just wanted to see if the most recent update had any changes worth staying on stock.
I will most likely be going to cm7. Since that's what I have on my craptivate.

ok but still why unroot? Just download a rooted version and if you like remove the bloatware. going back to stock you loose options and gain bloat.
Stock rooted is better than Stock non rooted....all day everyday
The issue is your custom recovery, not custom hboot. Sprint OTAs depend on the stock recovery, which in layman's terms is a "fake" recovery. It can't be used by the user but the recovery knows what to do with the OTA packages.
Look around for a PC36IMG.zip of the stock Sprint recovery.img. I saw one the other day in the Dev section.
And the latest OTA is rootable, just to clear that up.

Oh and to answer your where does it download question...I believe in /data/tmp or /data/local/tmp, but i am not 100% sure. It believe it would be in one of the tmp folders for sure though.

So I rooted my phone and installed the latest CWM recovery but every time I try to install any custom rom I get a status 7 error and it says something along the line of asserts failed ro.product.drvice == d2att. I've tried using TWRP, I've unrooted and installed stock, nothing seems to work. Last week I was running Jellybam fine for about 2 days, got stuck in bootloop, tried numerous ways to fix it, ended up returning to stock but now I cannot flash anything. Help me please
The status 7 error happens when the ROM ur about to flash, checks to see if the model of ur phone is compatible with said ROM. Its a good thing(safety mechanism) but can be a pain at the same time. What version of cwm are u using? Download the latest cwm recovery thru the ROM manager app and that can sometimes fix the issue. What ROM are you trying to install?

I think 6.0.2.3? not 100% sure though.. and I need to be rooted in order for rom manager to work... I tried using it but it kept saying the flash failed.. I'm using the root recovery. I've tried flashing CM 10.1 and RC5 as well as the latest and 3 before that Jellybam Roms

Latest cwm is at 6.0.3.1
I think you're getting a little confused.
You need to be rooted to have any custom recovery installed, so right off the bat you are rooted. You shouldn't flash anything with rom manager, it can cause serious harm to your phone. Tom manager is best for just updating your recovery.
There are two main reasons for a status7 error, out of date recovery or an out of date bootloader.
Update your recovery to 6.0.3.1 and he to flash it again, if it comes back you'll need to update your bootloader a two second search in these threads will provide you with a large handful of threads where people had identical issues as you

Checked my bootloader and it says i747UCDLK3 and I think that's the latest... I'll root and install latest CWM through rom manager once I get home
And one question though... I tried using TWRP 2.5 (the latest) and I still got the status 7 error...?

Can you flash any stock modded rom's ? You state you went back to stock but what method did you use to go back to stock ?
Why oh why were you using jellybam...
My cousin has it on his Verizon GS3 and it works perfectly fine so I thought I'd give it a shot. To go back to stock I followed some unroot and return to stock I found online.. not sure of the link. It basically consisted of flashing it in Odin and returned it back to stock 4.0.4 which I then updated to 4.1.1 using att ota. I'm not sure if it was a a modded stock rom or not. And I really don't feel like going back through that mess again only to flash it and get stuck in another boot loop I want to be pretty positive that it will work :/

The ODIN flash to stock 4.0.4 probably installed the old ics bootloaders, and the ota update to 4.1.1 may not have included the new jb bootloaders.
Ok so what is the newest bootloader? I downloaded the root checker that allows you to see your bootloader version and it's on i747UCDLK3.

So what should I do now then :s
You're trying to flash the wrong rom for your device, or you're not using the right recovery for your device. What Galaxy S3 model do you have? On which carrier are you and where did you buy the phone?
I have an AT&T i747 that I got at an AT&T store. The Rom is correct as I've downloaded it numerous times and I've tried the latest TWRP recovery and still received the error.
I'm going to try and flash a factory image tomorrow from the development section and root afterwards. As Michael3214 pointed out in a pm, the issue may be that my phones id has changed, hopefully a factory image will fix that.
When I got this note 2, it didn't have the ota to lock the bootloader. I after a year or so on the Alliance 26 rom I had some issues and wanted to upgrade to the newest one. I tried to install it and it didn't take and was stuck in bootloop.
So I used the same files in odin to flash the phone back to stock and start it again.
I was finally able to get it rooted but no recover will install. I am having a hell of a time and I don't understand what I have done wrong. Even casual wont work.
Well when I try to install recovery like twrp the install fails and on boot it says software not supported my Verizon , take to your local vzw store for repair.
Knox has even been tripped as well and it seems like the bootloader is locked. How is that possible? Don't know how, i flash with odin a stock rom as I did when I got the phone rooted and installed a recovery and than a rom. No issues what's so ever.
Now it seems everything I try it either says software not supported by vzw or bad firmware update or boot loops. I have downloaded so many files from all of these recovery threads I'm lost .
Never had the ota update, once I got the phone I flashed it to mj9 per beanstown on the original alliance rom and ran that room ever since.
I think I have tried every how to in this forum. Can someone chime in and tell me what I am doing wrong?
