So i tried installing the OTA update manually and it did not work at all. After looking at the log installer it said that the identity of my phone had something called 4.4.2 release keys but was looking for 4.4.4 release keys, despite me having a kitkat rom installed. I will attach a screenshot when i get a chance. Am I running the wrong firmware.
BTW my phone is a converted google play edition from sense, non rooted, followed all the instructions at the time and even changed the CID when told at the time. No OTA update comes up on the system, so tried to install it manually.

You need to be on 4.4.4 to install lollipop.. So if you aren't do all the OTA updates, till you're on 4.4.4..
But if you are on 4.4.4 and you cannot install the OTA manually, you probably only have the wrong recovery installed.. So just download the RUU of 4.4.4 again, extract it and flash the recovery.img. Then you should have the right recovery and you are able to install the newest ota..

To recover OTA updates you need to reset your binary counter. (you need root access)
So you should root your device again then reset your counter and finally flash a stock firmware.

So, I'm trying to root my T-Mobile T999 S3 using this guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2563955&highlight=failed
I'm on the "Flash (install) the Knox Remover zip" in the recovery menu step, and I keep getting the "supersu failed to verify whole-file signature" error. I also get that error when I try to install SuperSU.
I figured that I needed to use CWM or TWRP but I can't get them to install. Odin says PASS but when I press Home + Volume Up + Power, I still get to the old, stock recovery menu.
What do I do?
EDIT: I downloaded the root66_TMO_T999UVUENC2.7z ROM from this page: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1771687 and it has rooted my phone.
Should I keep it, is it the same?
Thanks.
Keep what? Your phone is rooted, isn't that what you wanted? If you want to use the Knox remover zip download and install flashify from the playstore and you can install twrp from there, after that boot into recovery and flash the zip

But that thread is from 2012. How is it that I downloaded a 2 year-old ROM and it kept my 4.3 and simply rooted it?
It feels like I just did a random thing and got the exact result I waned..
That's because the thread was updated recently to add the newer firmwares.
Notice the following.

I have an unlocked MetroPCS M919N and I have flashed a stock T-Mobile 4.3 tar on the device. It works great, everything is good right down to wifi.
It fails when I try to take ota KitKat update. It gives me message about update available and downloads the update, reboots to install then says it failed and is reverting back. I was rooted with towelroot & supersu the first time. I unrooted, uninstalled SuperSU and towelroot and tried again and it still failed.
What would be my best way to get KitKat on this unit. I don't believe it has been officially released for MetroPCS(919N) but I want the tmobile version anyways.
Flash the NB4 firmware with Odin (I recommend Fenny's fixed firmware). Although I don't recommend cross flashing firmwares, it will work if this is what you want.. You can also flash a t-mobile KitKat ROM without having to flash firmware

Thanks for the info, I appreciate it. However I don't actually consider this cross flashing as the hardware is exactly the same for M919N. I tried factory reset and ota update again and still got this...

...so in case anyone is wondering, I decided to try Kies and it worked like a champ. I'm now on fully functional NB4 on my M919N using T-Mobile. Still Knox 0x0, sim unlocked but not yet re-rooted.
My device (Nexus 5x) is on official Android 7, rooted and on latest TWRP.
When a small patch update arrives I click on reboot and install button. then devices powers off and goes to "custom recovery" by itself. So I press power off and turn the device back on, then I go to system update and check if everything is Okay, But after few hours I get the same update message again! after installing for second time I don't get the message again.
What is the point of your post?
That you get update again? Because it wasn't installed, you can't install official update when you have custom recovery, root etc installed...
Thousands of threads similar like this.

Actually most of the time if you just have custom recovery it will install.
If you have modified boot, system, vendor then the partial OTA won't install.
If you got a FULL OTA (as in when you sign up for the beta releases) then it will install even with modified boot, system, vendor.

I just have a custom recovery and root. I haven't modified anywhere else.
so should I be able to install OTAs?
this is the 4th time I download this:

If not I think I should opt for beta releases I guess!

Download the rom and put it on the internal storage then go to the updater, 3 points at the top right, update file.
If this menu does not exist, tap several times on the center of the updater.
Does not work. Can not verify installation package error.
I tried also renaming it to update.zip and it did not help

Sometimes it's like that, try to change region while connected to Wifi and see if the update is offered to you.
I just updated my phone to ver 13.0.7.0 Then I got the new update MIUI14
Is it global version?
Yes
Mine is global as well and no update. Strange
I installed via an external link, not an over-the-air update
Is it fastboot or recovery rom? Care to share link?

well then, version 14 is rolling out slowly to our devices
Just found out that I have Amber and not Agate. Perhaps i would have to wait longer for MIUI14
