[Q] Received OTA but wouldn't download? - Nexus 7 (2013) Q&A

So i spent my weekend trying to sideload 5.0 to my N7 2013. I tried Wugfresh i tried the old fashioned way with ADB. But for some reason or other i cant get it to flash. So i unrooted and returned to stock 4.44 factory reset and when it rebooted low and behold i had the OTA in my notification!! I accepted and cliicked download and it just sat there doing nothing it would not download!! Then it came up with error unsuficiant storage space to download ,but i had just wiped it and had about 26gb!! I remembered with Wugfresh it said that after going back to stock it might mess up the storage and to do a fresh reset. I reset the device again and now no more OTA availble!!! My question is will it be pushed back out to me or was that my one time and now google asumes i am running 5.0? Help!!!!!!????!!

Download and flash manually in fastboot

Search in the forum : I read there is something (sorry dont remember what) to do to solve that issue before trying to update, factory reset don't help !

EVO 2.2 UPDATE (Froyo), HELP !!!

Guys,
My Evo says Froyo 2.2 is avail for download when I check HTC Updates... I hit accept, it downloads, then asks if I want to install NOW... I HIT YES, and it takes me to the boot loader page, THEN DOES NOTHING.. It doesn't boot into recovery mode like it is supposed to, and it just sits on the Boot loader screen, NO TRIANGLE, NO BAR on the bottom showing the progress, IT JUST SITS THERE on the boot loader page with the 3 Androids on the bottom... I have already tried to hard reset the phone, BUT that didn't work... PLEASE HELP !!! Is there a way to HARD reset my EVO BACK to BEFORE ALL OF THE UPDATES??? IS THERE A WAY TO Force boot into recovery to apply the "update.zip" ??? Please advise...
Mine did'nt go no where near the bootloader screen...
I hit the download...then it just installed like any other app...except it brought me to a bar progress page a couple of times. Then the phone rebooted and whala...froyo.
I must say this...I was previosly rooted but unrooted to do it!!!
Are you rooted or unrooted to start off with?
Was rooted, but then I did the "update of June 29th" and ruined ALL of my fun... Is there even a way for me to root my phone now??? How do I get it to go into recovery?
Same issue
My EVO ISN'T ROOTED, and I'm having the same exact problem
You're hosed root wise until someone cracks the rom, if they crack the rom. Most likely you'll need to update to the official version once HTC releases an upgrade as they claimed they would eventually do on Twitter.
im not trying to root my phone, i just want froyo
right, I WAS rooted, the update in JUNE fixed that for me =(... NOW I just want FROYO which is available from Sprint/HTC OTA, it just wont install?????????? I think I can install it as an update.zip if I could get my phone into RECOVERY mode... When at the bootloader, if I hit Recovery, it just boots back to the BOOT LOADER????
I would suggest using this unroot program and make sure you use the 1.47 one because there are 3 different roms. This is what I did as I had the june update as you. This will guarantee that you have the right stock rom and are not rooted. Then try the update again...
http://forum.androidcentral.com/htc-evo-4g-roms-hacks/19278-how-unroot-return-stock.html
This is the route I took and was just like you...I had no probs this way!
This is a great recommendation, but I haven't done any ROOT or ROMing to my phone since I've owned it, I've stayed true to the true image they released, and I'm not comfortable downgrading it to some other image that wasn't on the phone. I attempted to do the instructions outlined and I was unable to get pas the stage of pushing the:
RUU_Supersonic_1.47.651.1_Radio_2.05.00.06.10_release_CL195459
to the phone. It says USB error, and I have debugging mode enabled.

I RE-Loaded this version, as the other "older" versions would not work (re-loaded, as this is what I already HAD on my phone)... It wiped the system, and ALL of my info/apps (make sure you back up) and then I was able to do the Froyo Update... YES !!!! Thanks...
http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Sup...51.1_Radio_2.05.00.06.10_release_CL195459.exe
I did the same, thank you !
No prob...have fun!!!
Froyo Update Won't Install
To start off - I have never rooted my evo - my phone is running Android 2.1 update 1 supersonic - and I did not try to do the "pre-release" update put out by HTC. Since late last night, I have been trying to install Froyo through system updates (settings, system updates, htc software update). I am able to download the upgrade, which is about 80 MB, but for some reason the update will not install. When I click install now, my phone restarts in the bootloader. If I click on fastboot, it searches for an image on my SD card but can't find one. If I hit recovery, it just returns me to the main bootloader screen. The only thing I can do is reboot or shut down my phone. When my phone boots back up, it says the update is downloaded and ready to be installed. I have tried redownloading the update but the same thing happens. Any help would be appreciated, preferable without losing contacts and apps. I'm trying to save a factory reset for a last resort.
Thanks,
Nick
Nick,
Please read the earlier posts, and follow the link from Cardiox... He said the following...

Then read my posts, and you will see that I had the SAME problem you are having, and this worked for me... I posted the thread... It is pretty easy if you follow the instructions... Let me know if it works for you... Good luck !!!

I am not a genius by no means thus I am only sharing info that I have from personal trial and error. If you are going to a bootloader screen during this update process and your SD card is mounted then you most likely will need to bite the bullet and either do a factory reset or follow the link instructions so given. For some reason this update can not find the original factory code or RUU that it is trying to update. Sounds like your SD card is mounted but it can't find it...I would strongly consider just starting over with that link program. It does not root you it just puts you back square one with factory code. Then the update will have something to build off of...which you apparently don't have for whatever reason.
Ok, this is what I needed to know. I'm backing up my stuff with bitpim and will just do this. Thanks for all the help and the speedy responses!

[Q] Went back to stock, unrooted, can't update ROM

Like the title says, I went back to stock and unrooted my phone. I got a message from Tmo today that an update for my phone was available, but on trying to update, the phone just sits at the "checking for software updates" screen and nothing happens. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

Kies.
Yep use Kies to update. Worked perfectly and then just reroot.
Have your tried going into stock recovery (after unrooting) and doing a factory restore? If the option is present, you may alsi want to wipe your cache. Hope that helps.
I am having the same issue as OP. Was rooted by CF auto root plus triangle away (deleted after use). Always stock ROM/recovery. Got OTA update notice so delayed it so I could unroot first. Checked temporary unroot option in SuperSU, no luck. Chose permanent unroot, no luck. Deleted SuperSU, no luck. Ti Backup confirms not rooted. Kies doesn't show update available and selecting upgrade through Kies tools menu fails as well. Do I need to clear my cache (which I have never done). Don't want to wipe and start over. Need to learn how to do this for future updates. I thought my basic root method would allow updates with little effort. Am I missing something? Thanks in advance.
I wiped cache and still no luck. It tells me update available and when I say install it just sits on checking for updates...
Hey OP, did Kies work for you? I installed the most recent Kies and it wont even finish connecting with my phone. God I hate being a noob at this stuff. I don't have a clue why this update wont happen or Kies wont connect. Im using the OEM USB cable. Everything says official and nothing custom. Somehow, T-mobile update knows I was once rooted or something. WTF
I should of tried OTA rootkeeper but too late now.
Any advice??
Kies finally worked. No idea what was different from previous 10 attempts...
Any suggestions how to go from TWRP back to stock recovery and keep root? I can't use the Toolkit since it's missing the stock recovery Tar file...

[Q] Nexus 7 2013 wifi 4.4kitkat system update problem

So still no lollipop on my nexus 7 2013 wifi, its not rooted, i did a factory reset to start fresh, i did a backup before that. when it finished factory reset backup restored all and it works ok and again still no lollipop but a new problem started to show. Before i did a factory reset my system update automatically checked for updates 2-3 times a day, but now it doesnt do that at all i can check it manually but it doesnt check it automatically. whats the problem? can i fix it somehow? thanks to all who can help
p.s. i can see that my apps wont automatically update like before even tho my play store is set to update automatically
Why not just flash the factory image at this point? I would never wait for the OTA to prompt me. As soon as the factory image was on the Google website, I would be flashing it.

Yes that is a good idea if you know what you are doing, and i'm afraid that i'll mess something so i'll wait for OTA but can you help me with this update problem for now?

[Q] Download Lollipop but don't want to install it.

Hi. I downloaded Lollipop but have not installed it yet and don't want to. I didn't know it was Lollipop I was downloading. How do I get rid of the possibility of it installing? I keep having to delay it for 24 hours. Do I have to do a factory data reset?
What version of anroud are you on and are you rooted? If so you can simply go to the /cache folder and delete the .cfg file file.
If you reboot before doing that the update will be installed.
I'm on 4.4.2 and not rooted. If I do a factory data reset before I install Lollipop would that get rid of the download ?
"Luke" don't fight it, grab the lollipop and feel the Force.
The force never tasted better.

What is your reason for not wanting to update? Anything particular?

From what I know , when you try a factory reset it will reboot your phone to recovery and perform the reset there. It may successfully do so, or it may immediately install the update in recovery. I can't say for sure.
If it is absolutely necessary for you to avoid this update, backup your files, download a firmware from Sammobile that matches your current 4.4.2, very carefully reset to download mode (you will only have one shot at this) and Odin that old firmware into your system. Hopefully that will overwrite all your files and remove the update. On the first boot enter recovery and do a reset. That is the most likely solution I can think of which may have a remote chance of working.
Another possibility is that if your firmware has a date before Jun 5 2014, you can run towel root version 3 to root it (doesn't require a reboot) then go to the cache directory and delete the update file. Of course all of this should be done before rebooting. This should work but you will end up with a rooted system.
Finally if your were forced to take the update you can almost downgrade it back to 4.4.2.
Thanks. I just did a factory data reset and it worked fine.
The reason is I like the phone now just as it is. No WiFi issues,great battery life,ect. From what i have read even though Lollipop is a big update there is nothing new that makes me want to have it.
Anyone want to try and convince me?
Android updates seem to always be buggy. I "might" try it later.
I went straight up Kies update and the phone never ran smoother.
Running stock /rooted / debloated and everything works the way it's supposed to.
No bells, no whistles, no exposed, just straight up touchwiz.
Knox shmox, never gave it a second thought after the warranty ran out.

Wrong Test Keys - OTA update failed

Hi Guys,
so this morning my SW3 told me there was a system update, cool, so i said yes to the update and let it do its thing.
on coming back, the os version was still the same (LDZ22D) which i thought was odd.
I then did a search and found that there was indeed a new version out (LCA43) and thought something sus was afoot.
I got the twrp from this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/smartwatch-3/development/lwx49k-rooting-easy-t3107501 and booted from twrp
i then pushed the rom i downloaded form here http://www.xperiablog.net/2015/08/2...-update-lca43-intros-interactive-watch-faces/ and promptly tried to flash it like i would any custom rom i would normally flash on any of my other android devices.
I got an error, saying it was expecting "test keys" from a LAZ22D device or a LWX49K device, and that I had LRX22G test keys.
I also tried an ADB sideload which also didn't work.
Am i doing something wrong? Has anyone else ever encountered this?
Full disclosure, I also installed supersu a few months ago, but have had many factory resets since then (new roms on the paired fone) which i wouldn't have thought was an issue?
Cheers for any help you can give
That update only works on stock recovery. Go to my rollback thread and install the complete system of 5.0.1. I put links and directions to all the files. Then roll forward.
Thanks for that @lekofraggle, but I found an easier option, install Sony companion software, reflash "latest" firmware (apparently LAZ22D) then sideload the original update zip. Worked just fine. Just to clarify, I never flashed twrp, just hot booted from it, wondering if root did break ota...

Yes, root breaks most otas, but adb sideload usually works. Glad it was simpler than my doomsday thoughts.
