So about a few weeks ago, I received the MD4 OTA update. Ever since, I've been having problems with the phone occasionally freezing during app use. Whether its using Waze or playing Auralux, it will freeze. Pretty consistantly during Auralux. Heres the deal, I'm stock but rooted. I kept receiving the OTA update notification so I flashed the stock recovery to get the update.
Extremely annoying, currently browsing for a ROM that suits my fancy. Seems to me, I can't find one yet. Which is why I remained stock for so long.
You say that you flashed the Stock Recovery, and accepted the OTA. Did the Update go through ? Did you check Root afterward ?

It seems my phone is stuck on ALJC. I flashed the stock recovery via Odin and did a temp unroot, downloaded the OTA update. The phone rebooted and went to the stock recovery and appeared to be installing the update. Upon reboot, my phone was back in rooted condition (not sure if this is normal for voodoo unroot or not). This has happened twice. The first time it happened I had not noticed it, but now that it has sent a second update request to me today, which I used the same method only to discover that it doesn't seem to work. Now when I request an update it tells me no update is available. Suggestions?
Ignore this thread, I said screw it and just did it all manually.
So I had my phone rooted sometime around the point when the 4.1.2 OTA came out. I went back to stock recovery and a nandroid backup that I made before rooting. Now, about once a week, I get the notification that the update is available but it doesn't work. My phone reboots like its going to update, I get the android guy with the spinning graphic thing, then it reboots the same as it was before.
I tried searching but couldn't find a solution...if my searching skills suck just let me know
THANKS!
I've got an unrooted, completely stock, unlocked Galaxy Nexus. A few weeks ago, I updated it to 4.3 when prompted by the usual notification ("System update downloaded: Touch to install"), and the update went fine.
However, since then I keep getting the same notification again, and pressing it seems to reinstall 4.3. The notification then reappears after a week or so. I know the update isn't failing, as I can see in the settings that it's running 4.3.
Does anyone know why it might be doing this, and how I can stop it?!

Hi All,
Last week I received a system update for my Nexus 7 for Lollipop. At that time I didn't want to update so I dismissed the notification. The problem is that I can't get it to re-appear. I've already tried to check for updates 100 times over a couple of days. I've also cleared the Google Play Services and then check for updates, but didn't work.
Is there a simple way to get the update notification again?
Thank you for your help!
Yes, wait for the OTA to become available again. There's a possibility that the latest OTA (5.0.1) was pulled and is no longer available. If you really want the update, download the firmware from Google and flash it manually.
Edit: someone got the notification today. So who knows why you haven't received the notification.
I thought one you dismiss the notification and don't take the update you go back to the end of the queue - so it could be weeks before you get it again.
Happened to me as well. Got the notification last week for 5.0.1, didn't update but didn't dismiss it either. After a couple of days it just disappeared and so far hasn't shown again.
I'm still waiting on 5.0 here. Getting annoyed and was looking for sideload update options but if other people are still waiting on it I guess I'll hold off a bit longer.
If you're now running a modified stock rom, you will most likely have issues updating with the OTA. Here's a way to update without having problems or waiting for the OTA with no loss of data: Download the rooted rom from Scrosler found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/nex.../rom-factory-stock-rooted-rom-lrx22c-t2960745 , use Wugfresh's NRT 1.9.9 to update the bootloader that's also mentioned in Scrosler's thread, and then dirty flash (no wipes) the 5.0.1 rom with TWRP.

Stop waiting and do it manually. Why is everyone so consumed with sideloading? You can flash the latest firmware in fastboot without losing anything.
When I lost my update (long story) it took 3 days to come back. A little less than I was expecting but still a little more than I wanted. I'd expect you'll get it back in 2-3 days.
Same here! But will download it now instead. Tierd of waaiting
My phone was working pretty well on the 5.1.1 lollipop update, no crashes, somewhat okay battery life after a full factory reset and manual installation of programs (Reinstalling with kies seemed to kill battery life again). I jumped at getting the MM update when it as available. I had previously rooted my EVO 4g and had issues getting updates after a certain point, so I haven't rooted my Note 4 yet, since I was happy with the updates.
Now, though, the MM update keeps crashing my phone. It will sometimes maintain stable operation for 20 minutes, but it will eventually crash and reboot. I once got the mmc_read_failed error on a reboot, but I am not completely sure what is causing the issue. The phone worked fine until the OTA update installed. After that point, it crashed once while setting up my Google account and has been crashing regularly ever since.
What's the best way to fix this? Are there any good Marshmallow updates I can install, either rooted or stock. Also, any I can use Odin for?

Factory reset AFTER your OTA updates clears up most problems.
Good luck
I had this happen. I was getting the mmc read failed 6x a day. Nothing fixes it. Internal mem failed. My free replacement came in today. TWRP, tx's rooted stock Rom/everything restored with tb..... Good to go.
Sad too, it was a launch day mint condition phone.
