This may work well in the dev section also, for now at least. More traffic over there.

As it is a question I thought I should at least ask here first.

It's GREAT to see that there are users that know this. One wouldn't believe how many posts we get like this in Dev that are immediately replied to with "RONG SEKTION, Q A PL0X"
Anyway, I believe you need to use abd during the install, not sure though and there are people that can explain it better than I can anyway. +1 for the idea though

I'm pretty sure you need to do an adb pull while the update runs. But, wait for someone more educated than I to give you further instruction, as I have no idea in hell how to do it

quick google search yielded this.

idk if it would work but you can try.

It sounds like root is needed. Her phone isn't rooted. Does anyone know of a way without root?

Found this in the desire forum. Would this work for the incredible as well?
The OTA .zip files which are downloaded from a Google server are not signed the same way as the RUU "rom.zip" files - they use the app .apk manifest signing method. (manifests and certs a la "jarsigner").
If you are interested in looking at the process that HTC/Verizon uses for the OTA updates, you can get the URL for the OTA zip the following way:
Run logcat on the pc and accept the update on the phone
$ adb logcat > logcat_accept.txt
This will sit like this (it continues to log output into the output file) until the phone reboots. At that point, the adb logcat job will terminate, and the name of the zip file will be indicated in the logfile in a message similar to:
W/SystemUpdateHelper( 64): !!! REBOOTING TO INSTALL /cache/desirec-ota-104882.7b1e5cca.zip !!!
Then, take the name of the file and paste it on the end of android.clients.google.com/updates/partner

Another weird pop up message...

I was at my sisters all weekend. Phone was perfect. I came home. Tried to get on the internet & now I keep getting a pop up message, about every 3 seconds, that says "shell has been granted superuser permissions"
I am rooted...
What does this pop up mean?
Restarted my.phone & still keeps popping up.

It means something is getting superuser permissions. In SuperSU you can look through the apps you have given permission to. You can then modify their permissions, i.e. block apps. Try blocking apps until you find the one causing problems.
Good luck finding it.

If you have superuser installed, it's a recognized issue with the developer.
Short story; root isn't sticking at boot.
You can open up the app and make sure binaries are updated or you can just apply the supersu apk. Supersu will take priority for root permissions and it doesn't hurt anything running both.
If you have supersu installed and superuser doesn't apply to you, open supersu and ensure binaries are updated.

Do you have an app the requires Superuser that refreshes after a certain interval? That could be doing. I think Juice Defender has an option for rooted users that can scan for data, wifi, etc. after certain intervals. Just an example that you might be able to compare to?

I figured it out guys. Thank you so much for your help!!

[Q] Does rooting on stock ROM causes any security threats/vulnerability.?

Hi,
I am about to root my Galaxy note II GT-N7100 on stock ROM.
Before doing that, I wanted to confirm weather rooting (on stock ROM) causes any security threats/vulnerability to user/device.?
I don't want people to steal my calls/communications & other private data like photos, videos, documents etc.
Thanks..

You can answer your own questions by learning what is rooting or gaining root access.

That's fine with me. I am doing that too. :good:
But taking second opinion is always a good idea.
Also, suggestions and explanations from experts boosts the confidence in the right way. :good:

As always with root related questions I think one should ask if they need the root access or not. For me many years I used my android devices without needing it. But now I dont think I can have a device without root.
Rooting allows many things and yes also opens your phones system to be altered...
But again root access controlled by SU so you know who or which app is requiring root access and it is down to you to give or deny permission when this happens.

Weird Super-User issue

Okay so idk wth is causing this bc this is the first I've seen of it and it just started doing this this morning. I keep getting a super-user request for system_network. What would be requesting root access for system_network? I denied it for now. Anyone shed some light on this for me?
I'm running newts 4.3 sense 5.5 ATM. I didn't have this root request on Bonestock 1.2.

The phone apk I think was doing this as well. There is a thread on it.
I would deny for now

Stupid question abouot android update...

I know this is stupid, but I've been trying to search for the answer for a week and I haven't come up with anything.
I have a T-Mo rooted G4. As per the instructions, I disabled the OTA updates and don't use wi-fi. I have an alert on my phone that says there is a system update available. Can I download it to get rid of the alert, or do I have to just ignore it?
Thanks for putting up with the noob question lol.

Just ignore it if you dont want to update your s/w and loose root privileges.
