[Q] How many reboots does an update take? - Fire TV Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I notice when I install updates to the roms, that after the initial reboot and installing of software, that it still says it's installing software after that, briefly, after I do reboots.
Last time this happened I was going to say something, but it stopped, so I didn't think much about it.
Is there a way I can clear out that updating it keeps saying it must do?

Cleared Notifications keep returning

I have unlocked my bootloader and rooted my phone. Still running stock 2.2.1. Seems that about one month again I noticed that intermittently all of the previous notifications will return. I can clear them and they will stay gone for a while but will return later in the day. Also noticed that super user has begun to give me a "stopped unexpectedly" error. This seemed to start about the same time as the notification problem. Don't know if the 2 are connected. I've tried to do a search but did not find anything about the notification problem. This is forcing me to think about getting off my butt to install a custom ROM. Any suggestions before installing a custom ROM?

The newest update of super user is causing many issues, suggested not to update.
I have superuser versions 2.3.6.1 and 2.3.6.3. I will try a reinstall of 2.3.6.1.
If still have problems then will try 2.3.6.3. Will not allow an ugrade until I see a newer version than the one out now.
Thanks

N7100 keeps freezing

I've recently started having trouble with my N7100 freezing/locking up.
I bought it shortly after launch, so it's a little over 1 1/2 years old. I had flashed one of the first rooted 4.1.2 firmware that was available, and never bothered updating because it was stable and got great battery life and I didn't feel like dealing with ROM stuff. But recently with the official 4.4.2, I decided to finally update, and decided on trying out DN3. So I flashed the latest TWRP, did the usual backing every thing up, flashed the MJ5 bootloader, and flashed it. It kept bootlooping, so I figured something went wrong, so I restored my 4.1.2 backup. This was where the freezing began. It was to the point where I couldn't use it. Tried rebooting a few times, but every time it would freeze as soon as it booted or shortly after. I assumed something just went wrong with the backup, so I tried flashing DN3 again. This time it booted successfully, but would occasionally freeze, most often when loading an app, but sometimes just randomly. After a couple days it seemed to subside. Then I decided to try out OmniRom. Same thing -- it would occasionally freeze up, then after a while would be fine. (Note: these were both clean installs.) Seems like every time I'd flash an updated version of Omni, the freezing issue would flare back up. Just now, I flashed the latest homemade build, and the freezing was really bad again, to the point where I can't even use it. Sometimes it'll freeze the instant it finishes booting, sometimes it'll freeze a few seconds after, sometimes it'll finish booting and will be fine until I load an app, then would freeze, and sometimes it would be fine for a couple minutes and the just freeze randomly. What's odd about it is that the screen is still responding to touch. Every thing's locked up, but when I touch the screen, the capacitive buttons light up as though it's still working fine, but nothing else works. I've even had a couple times where I let it sit for about 10 minutes and then it started responding again.
What's really frustrating is that I can't find a common cause here.Started on 4.1.2 (which had never had any issues beforehand), continues on a clean install of DN3, and continues on a clean install of OmniRom. Disabling Xposed and removing my SD card had no effect. It boots fine into recovery and download modes.
Does anyone know what the issue could be here?
EDIT: And now I've done a complete wipe, again, and reflashed DN3, again, and it appears to be working fine. Go figure.
It's not suddenly death?

AT&T LG G4 Won't Update! Help!

I'm currently running Android 5.1 Build H81010e.
Since last week, my phone has alerted me that a software update is available. I start installation, the phone resets, and the notification comes right back after 2-3 minutes. It's been in an endless loop for at least the last week. Now my phone resets every 3-5 hours attempting to force the update, but it doesn't seem to ever install.
Anyone else having this problem on AT&T? Is my build the most recent? Any ideas on how to fix it?
If you want root, don't take the update.http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/help/how-to-prevent-updates-g4-t3148650
If you don't care about root, go to Settings > Smart Cleaning and use the cleaner. It may remove the update file and let you download it again.
Since AT&T blocked recovery mode, there's no easy way for us to clear the cache, so you may need to factory reset to get the update to download again.
Apologies for resurrecting an old post however this is the closest forum topic I can find. I have a G4 and I have the same issue as above. I keep getting a notification of a software update and when I try to install the update it just restarts and then 2 minutes later I get the same notification of an update. It's an endless circle lol. I have tried smart cleaning twice and each time I check for a system update and I get the original notification and the endless loop begins again. Is there anything else I can do to update my device? I'm not keen on performing a factory reset or rooting my device if at all possible. Also I'm not with AT&T. I'm with an Australian carrier.
Many thanks

Factory reset on a corrupted Android OS?

So about a few years ago, I tried to root my galaxy note 4 (n910aucu2doi3), but I guess it rejected the root because it instantly bricked my phone, to the point where I had to completely wipe it using android recovery. The only way to get my operating system back was to download it online and install it through my PC (I had to find the exact version for my phone as well, 5.1.1 at the time, because it rejected every single other version).
Everything seemed to be working fine, except that I couldn't install software updates on my phone anymore. It was permanently stuck on 5.1.1. It was a bit of an annoyance but I didn't think much of it at the time.
Fast forward to now, and I'm getting several signs that my OS may be corrupted. My phone is constantly freezing, crashing and restarting. Maneuvering through applications causes the phone to freeze for a few seconds before either restarting or crashing the app. I want to say it's definitely a software issue, but I did install a new battery recently and it was working fine for a few weeks, could that be the issue?
If not, I want to start over, but I'm not sure how, and I don't know if it's safe to do a factory reset on this OS. Is there anyway I can get a fresh stock version of an android OS that can also update?
Any help is appreciated, I'm pretty much desperate.
I manually updated to 6.0.1 with the help of this thread https://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-att/general/updates-thread-t3663943
It seems to have fixed the issues so far, and my phone can automatically update again

Gen1 FireTV stuck in reboot loop

So, I have a rooted 1st gen FireTV (aka bueller). I have no recollection what I did to it long time ago when I rooted it, other than it worked fine but was stuck on old software (5.0.x?). So I wanted to run newer apps on it, and I updated it with 5.2.7.3 rooted image. It reboot, went through the 10 min "system storage and applications" and was working, new UI and everything.... but when I tried updating the apps, it complained that the app store is too old. A few minutes later it rebooted.....and did the same "optimization" gig for like 10 mins.... then it rebooted, and now it reboots over and over, sometimes doing optimization, sometimes not, and sometimes I see the UI come up a second before it reboots again. TWRP bootloader works, so I can try flashing it back with older FW, I but I really would rather go forward. Any way to find out what is happening? I tried ADB, but it does not seem to connect when "optimization" is running
Thanks
