I started doing the Google framework force stop and clear cache today while on wifi and was prompted after 5 or 6 tries. It downloaded, verified download, rebooted and TRIED to install. About 15% through, it said untrusted zip and cwm screen popped up top and asked 'install untrusted zip?' Of course I hit yes.. why isn't it trusted? Its straight from the carrier. Anyway it immediately said installation aborted. I repeated this process again and got the same results. Please someone help. Now that JB is finally here my phone won't take it???

Your phone is rooted? If yes you can't install OTA updates
I'm rooted yes. So what do I do? Unroot?

If you have CWM flashed, you have to manually flash the update -- it won't install over-the-air. If you want to install it over-the-air, flash back the stock recovery then accept the update.

It's exact. But root can only be done if you have bootloader unlocked, and with unlocked bootloader can not install OTA updates

Gnex Toolkit wasn't working because of some missing file... re-installed it and flashed the stock recovery via Gnex Toolkit (I think). Is there a way to check which recovery is running? Anyway, if it is indeed stock, I just got prompted again for the OTA JB update.. it's installing now.... fingers crossed!!!
..OK so now it rebooted... started installing, got about halfway through.. paused, then it went to the stock recovery screen and stayed with a red triangle around an exclamation point! What is happening here?!
I have now re-locked the bootloader and received the prompt for OTA again....
Still won't work for me. I've tried even flashing the stock image and it won't install at all. Actually nothing is installing.
I've never done anything to the phone besides unlocking the BL and rooting and switching to CWM. It seems to have something to do with the SD mount.. nut then again I have no idea.
Where's all the Android gurus at?

Guys i am having this EXACT problem, except on a S4 (I337M to be exact)
Here is my thread with the details
http://forums.androidcentral.com/as...t-update-ota-failure-using-triangle-away.html
But basically, im just wondering how i can get stock recovery back and get this ota to work!!!
Thanks!
I know it's required to unlock the bootloader in order to gain root on primoc, but the directions call for flashing a kernel, and I'd like to keep my phone as close to stock as humanly possible. Is there a way to keep the stock kernel and get root, or is it the act of flashing the kernel that gets you root? The reason I ask is that I'd like to be able to use root apps, but I don't want to flash kernels/ROMs.
Sorry if this is a n00b question.
-------------------------
For any poor unsuspecting soul who finds this thread through the almighty Google... The procedure in the next post works. Apparently, if you get the latest and greatest TWRP recovery it will root for you, but the version of TWRP I found did not do that.

Follow the instructions and flash the recovery file and not a kernel. You should now have TWRP recovery installed. Download Superuser.zip from the official website and place it in your sd card. Reboot and go into Bootloader and then into Recovery. From there press the first button and go to where you left the Superuser.zip. Select it and let it finish. Now reboot and you should be rooted.

If you install twrp as the recovery it will promot you and root the Rom. With the stick kernel.

That wasn't my experience. I had to flash the superuser.zip from recovery to get the su binary and then install the superuser app to get root to work. The general approach does work though!

Just rooting doesn't prevent updates. You just lose root and have to reapply after update.
Custom recovery means you probably need to download the update file and apply it via the recovery instead of the automatic updater.
Changing or removing system files will almost definitely prevent updates being applied.

hi sfhub, do I need to do
fastboot oem unlock
before doing
fastboot boot twrp.img ?
I've been rooted since day one and gotten ota updates fine.
I use twrp and just make sure to flash supersu each time and call it good. Not a single problem on my end.
Even still if you bork it just flash factory image. It's pretty simple to get out of a pinch. But rooting and ota should work fine as long as you keep stock image. Just reflash supersu each time and you're good to go.

If you aren't already unlocked then, yes.
Most people will already be unlocked though if they are rooted.
fastboot oem unlock process will force a factory reset for security purposes so backup anything important.

There are some backup apps that don't need root, but probably need to restore.
You can also try adb backup, but it may not backup 100% of your stuff.
I'm not the best person to ask on the backup as I always unlock before I do most of the software installs just so I can avoid losing customizations later on.

Yes, very simple, just type
fastboot oem lock
I would advise against doing so unless you plan to return the unit though, as if you ever need to do stuff to your system (even factory restore) then you'd need to unlock again, which would factory reset again.

The 1.55 update doesn't appear to want to install properly for me from Google Play. Is this an issue of having the OTA fix installed?
Nevermind...i guess i needed to reboot...but, this does beg the question, is there anything related to the OTA fix that needs to be "uninstalled" in general?

here is that file modified for t-mobile users, this is how you use it:
1) Make sure you are S off and preferably super cid but not required.
2) I would recommend having the Rom of you choosing (sense) on the SD card already (Sky Dragon v9.1 is what i would highly recommend http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2700571)
3) Place file in the link on root of SD card
4) Place phone in boot loader and let the file extract itself and install
5) Phone will reboot, when it does so delete the file on you SD card, or remove it all together(thats what i did) cause if you don't you will be unable to get into recovery.
After that reboot into recovery and install said ROM.
Does this ROM have Wi-Fi calling for T-Mobile customers?
Does the camera app work properly (with the Duo Camera)?

Hi all, I've got an M8 and really want to add a few features to it. I'm a bit of a noob to all of this so I hope you don't mind these questions in this forum.
I think Android Revolution HD and the Sense 6 Toolbox have the features that I'd like. So I need to:
1. Install ARHD
2. Install the Xposed framework using ARHD
3. Install Sense 6
I've been reading this page: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2265618
So I need to:
1. Unlock the bootloader (steps 1 to 19)
2. Flash a custom recovery (next section, steps 1 to 11) - Where do I get a custom recovery though?
3. Flash a custom ROM (next section, steps 1 to 7) - This is the part which installs ARHD?
4. Install Xposed through ARHD
5. Install Sense 6
Please forgive my noobish questions and correct me where I'm making a fool of myself! I'm a quick learner
Thanks in advance

I've used the tool kit successfully and used TWRP to make a backup
I backed up before installing super user.
There you're, closer go install arhd.
Ok, HRHD installed, Sense 6 installed, Xposed installed.
But when I opened Xposed from the app drawer, under "Framework" it says "The latest version of Xposed is currently not active. Did you install the framework and reboot?"
Any ideas?
Ok I've done it, I had to allow apps from unknown sources and then give Xposed superuser permission.
