I got the update and it is downloaded b/c I see it in the recovery mode. I scroll down to install update, but it will not work.
My phone is rooted, I have CWM, and it is unlocked. How can I get my update completed? I really want to keep stock right now. I don't want to keep checking up on updated ROM's , etc...
Thanks so much. Please - if you respond, break it down easy. step by step. That is what I need. Basics. thanks.

It's CWM recovery that messes it up not root.

Assumption is the mother of all **** ups...so i assumed that if you are rooted the most common thing is that you have CWM installed...
So how do I get there from here? Do I need to uninstall something and then do the update??
Thanks for the help.

Ok, I can try that. How do I do that? I am not sure I am familiar with fastboot. I can follow step by step instructions though.
Did you try the instructions on this thread?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1419170&highlight=ota+update
You seem to have the same set up as I do. I've just updated no problem with method 1.
The only instruction missing is that you have to re-root afterwards (you can check with Titanium).
When re-rooting, it got stuck on the Google image. I disconnected from the computer and pulled the battery out. restarted and voilá, all done

As I'm sure you all have read the post above this one, neither CWM nor root prevent you from receiving the OTA update. CWM, however, will prevent it from automatically installing, but CWM can easily install the OTA. See link in post above.

Yes, but if you flash the latest images, you will lose all your data...
I tried doing it via CWM. It was aborted. I just went ahead and uploaded a ROM. The Android Revolution HD one. I kinda gave up trying to do the OTA myself. Thanks for hte help anyway.

I am currently on rooted stock 4.0.2 on my GSM Galaxy Nexus. I know I will be able to receive the 4.0.4 OTA, but will it break root or re-lock my bootloader? If so, will be I be able to re-root without losing all of my data?

Yes you will loose root and normally I would say you would not loose your locked bootloader BUT since there apears to be a new bootloader version with this OTA I might be wrong and your bootloader might end up locked again. I myself updated manually and also flashed the bootloader and it did not switch to a locked state but I would not bet on that. Maybe someone else can varify...
Anyway: be sure to make a proper backup and no harm should be done right? It is always possible to re-root and re-unlock. with a proper backup no harm in that
use ota root keeper on the play store

Every update has a bootloader in it. According to Google the Nexus bootloader will remain unlocked.
If you're rooted, i thought you cant go through with the ota.

Rooted and unlocked bootloader are no problem for OTA... Custom recovery and any other change are AFAIK...

oh yeah. i think you're right. i don't have custom recovery. could've waited. oh well. impatience does that to you.
You will lose root but it can be restored easily without losing any data. The setuid bit on /system/bin/su was removed by the OTA update. You can simply chmod the file to restore it using cwm recovery and adb.
Full steps can be found here (sorry, I can't post links): blog.talawah.net/2012/04/how-to-restore-root-access-after.html
I used Voodoo Root Keeper to restore my root access. However, full root is not restored initially. I started up Titanium Backup and root was restored fully. It was a file right issue why the root was not restored completely.
No CWM needed. Since I want to keep using OTA, I stay far away from CWM.
I rooted with towel root. Knox still shows 0x0. If I check of updates to the OS, I says my has changed and there are no updates. How can i reenable updates? Eventually, I'll install CM or something, but for now i want to install the latest.
I've had a few random reboots. They seem to be warm boots, because my uptime doesn't reset. I want to see if an updates fixes this problem. Other than this, eveeything has been great.
Cheers,
Rich
Ok, I did the following:
- unrooted (with SuperSu)
- did a factory reset
- rooted with towel root (again)
- ran SuperSu and left knox running
- reinstalled apps with TB
Everything now looks good. The "Check Update" no longer complains. I want to run this way for a little while. Will install CM in the future.

So you were able to take the latest OTA and you still have root and a custom recovery, and your Knox flag is still 0?

There was no OTA. So, still waiting to see what happens there. My knox is still 0x0 as i did not install a custom recovery. Towel root does not trip knox.
I'm on rooted stock. Knox is still running. I did not disable it with SuperSu. So far, no random reboots (10 hours)… very stable.
I will install a custom recovery and CM at some point in the future. I want to keep my warrenty intact for a while. I bought this tablet last weekend. I like it.

Gotcha. So what is your build number (from Settings/About device)?
Mine came with NAI installed. I don't know yet what build number it is going to install when I let it apply the OTA.

Are you on a UK device? If so, I see from sammobile.com that the latest NF3 was released. You can download it and flash with odin. It will unroot, so you will have to re-root. I believe as long as you don't flash a custom recovery, the warranty flag will stay at 0x0. That way you don't have to wait for the ota update.

I have the same notice and I'm wondering the same thing. I've rooted using Stumproot and have TWRP, but have not installed any custom ROM as yet. Been using the LG skinning of Android and seeing if it works for me over the long term or not.
So - is this the L update? Will this blow up my phone if I try it? Normally I know not to take OTA updates if I'm rooted, but there's a chance it may just run since it's the stock ROM, but just rooted.
You will lose root of course.
If you have TWRP you will not be able to install this update of course.
There should be something more written, not just system update. What version it says?

That is normal what happened.
You have to downgrade now and then root it.
What version it says you have now after the update?
Xposed 2.6.1
Android 4.4.2
So I need to unroot and then do it again?
Okay, could you eplain more detail.
If you have xposed installed that means you are rooted.

No, this is not Lollipop.
If you have the stock recovery (not TWRP), and haven't deleted ANY of the factory installed apps, the OTA might work. But even if it does it will break root, and leave you with a phone that is, at present, unrootable.

I updated my sprint lgg3 (from ls990zv4 to zv6... That's the OTA update) and lost my root permissions. The Super SU (by chainfire) cannot find it's binary or something like that.
You may want to hold off until someone figures out an easy fix. The alternative is to unroot (refresh to stock) then do all the updates, then root.
Hi,
I thought that after rooting OTA won't be available but I just got a notification about an update.
Is it safe to click "restart and install"? will it keep the device rooted?
if not, what's the easiest way to update?

Last time I updated, I noticed that TWRP took over the updating process if you have it flashed.
While updating, TWRP wont let the updating script to replace the recovery partition, so TWRP remains after the update, after that you have the option to flash more zips if you wish to.
I'd recommend you reflash SuperSU after the update.

I dont know what makes the OTA so large... I could be wrong but it is probably an OTA you would get if you were to be updating from M-N or something.... I just went right for the full firmware package, if you never used flashfire here is all the instructions https://flashfire.chainfire.eu/ but its pretty simple, click the + button at bottom right, click flash firmware package, select the files to flash and it will start doing its thing, I chose not to flash recovery when you get to that point, I was concerned it was gonna flash the stock recovery so didnt want to do that....

Well actually now I got the OTA. The problem is I don't know how to flash it. Because FlashFire is not working anymore.
If you can figure out where is downloaded to I am sure flashfire will flash it, When mine was downloaded I couldn't find the file in system/cache or anywhere else so I gave up and just flashed the whole firmware package.... If you find it, let me know how it goes...

Yes it makes sense. These are not incremental OTA zips that you may be used to from previous Nexus devices.

This is a full OTA patch. The quick explanation is that these OTA zips will update over whatever you have installed (custom rom, stock, rooted, etc) and will patch every partition to the zips OTA level. You could be on OTA #1, 2, 6, 11 or whatever, the zip will update over each previous update.

Supposing you have no other mods installed and no other changes to /system have been made, unroot, reboot, then see if you can adb sideload that update.zip. If it fails, you have two ways on how to do so successfully and without Flashfire like you asked.
