Few weeks ago updated my firmware to the latest NK3 and rooted using effortless method.
I'm 100% sure status then was custom. I used triangle away to make it official and failed, so after couple days and few reboots later I gave up.
So now I was just looking around my phone menus and I see status is official again. WTH??
I know for the fact, since I gave up on changing the status, it was custom and since then I have not played with my phone much at all.
Anybody has any idea how my phone become official again, on it's own?
I"m fully stock, rooted, knox=0, with supersu, to control root access, no xposed or other status spoofing programs at all.
No problem, just curious how it happens.

Ok I have the system update that was pushed a few weeks ago. Every time I try to update it it will just go to the home screen and I lose the ability to update for a week when its pushed again. It is a rooted phone but no custom roms. Any ideas why? I called VWsupport and they called HTC and HTC said try wifi or a full factory reset... I don't want to do the reset but I will try the wifi unless someone has a better idea.
You don't need the update since I believe you will lose root once it's installed and there is nothing in the update other than changes to verizon's bloatware like VCAST, etc.
That's strange. Although it makes you (temporarily) lose root, it should still install. However, it wont if you've touched any of the stock apps in any way- those have to be returned to 100% stock status for an OTA to install correctly. If you do get it to go, as long as you're s-off, all you have to do is re-flash clockwork and su to reacquire full root status
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

I've got an unrooted, completely stock, unlocked Galaxy Nexus. A few weeks ago, I updated it to 4.3 when prompted by the usual notification ("System update downloaded: Touch to install"), and the update went fine.
However, since then I keep getting the same notification again, and pressing it seems to reinstall 4.3. The notification then reappears after a week or so. I know the update isn't failing, as I can see in the settings that it's running 4.3.
Does anyone know why it might be doing this, and how I can stop it?!

I have the same problem
Probable solution
I found a solution in this thread

Quick story: I rooted my note 2 about a year ago. Ran Paranoid Android for a long time. got it in my head I wanted to revert back to stock. So I did, successfully. I then did all the updates, including the dreaded knox firmware. I then went back to PA, but with knox on the phone I was never able to get root access. I did get PA to stick somehow, but for the last 2 months i've been without my LTE. So I decided to revert again, successfully. Because I'm a glutton for punishment I allowed the stock update to kitkat 4.3, which soft bricked my phone. This was after it had been working on 4.1 for a half a day. A really nice guy in this thread showed me how to unbrick my phone and get it back to the bootloader. From there I was able to run the revert to stock again and my phone is again happily running stock 4.1.
All of that is leading to this, the actual question. My phone is constantly hanging when the OS asks if I want to upgrade. I've tried it a couple more times at this point to see if it was just a fluke that the update didn't take. Is soft bricks the phone every time...how do I get the phone updated to 4.3 so it stops asking?? At this point I am stock. I also tried running the auto root but it runs into knox (i think, something goes wrong) and wont take
Dont care what I have to do at this point, the knox counter is already tripped. Although it doesn't show up after running the revert to stock rom.
Cliff notes: rooted/unlocked xl on stock 8.1 ota. that I sideloaded. Phone installed 9 ota, requested restart, now im on 9. I honestly do not remember accepting update.
How can this happen? and will there be issues?
More Details:
So an odd thing happened to today. My phone, a rooted/unlocked running stock rom, got a notification for an update to 9. I have had my phone since 1/17, and I have been rooted unlocked since day one. This is the first time I have received a update notification. I ignored it figuring ill just get the ota and sideload it like i have done previously. Later today my battery was low and I get a message stating the update install is paused due to low battery. Once it charged enough it told me to restart phone which i did, then quickly realized it may have been a bad idea. Phone booted, told me i had an unlocked phone blah blah, then I noticed my custom loading screen was replaced by the standard google screen. 30 seconds later android 9 boots up. everything works fine, lost root though.

my phone is still on 8.1 and a check say's up to date, I have downloaded 9. ppr ota , would like to know before i side load, have you got root back ? I use magisk .
I have not attempted to get root back.
Did you have TWRP? Honestly, I'm in a situation where I'd like that to happen. Unfortunately I don't have access to my PC and would like to take the final OTA to Pie, but I'm rooted with Magisk, and.have TWRP installed, I'm worried about a bootloop.
I'm just trying to figure out if there is a way to force my phone to get the OTA update the normal way. My Pixel picked it up as soon as I manually checked for an OTA Update. My daily driver Pixel XL has been saying that I am up to date for the past 22 - 23 hours since the update went live, so I'm still stuck on 8.1.0. Does Google drip feed the update out in blocks based on IMEI to limit the impact on the download server?
