I have a problem with recent update. It came at night and in the morning I saw a message that "Something went wrong. To finish updating restart your device". I don't know what exactly "went wrong" but reboots do nothing, I tried more than ten times. What can I do in this situation? Maybe there's a way to remove OTA files and let the phone get it one more time? Or should I install it manually? Will I get future OTA updates this way?
If you haven't solved this already (I would hope you have), your best bet would likely be the Official Google Android Flash Tool.

Thank you for answer. Yes, I didn't find the solution and updated the phone by flash.android.com already.

I recently started getting system update notices for 3.26.605.1 on my D-Inc.
I'm running the "standard" clockworkmod recovery that flashed when I rooted the phone. As I understand it, I can not install the update because I'm rooted so is there a way that I can stop the notices (without unrooting and going stock)?
I've also read chatter on other forums about a fix or "root version" on the way from unrevoked, but I haven't been able to find anything official.
Can anyone confirm an update from unrevoked?
Thanks.
Hey Dude,
I figured I would get to you before the wolves do lol you'll probably get a better response to your questions in the "General" section. To answer you directly there is already rooted versions of this OTA such as (shameless plug) both my Roms Redemptive rEVOlution (Evo hybrid) and Redemption Rom.
OK. Thanks.

I've been hitting Cancel on that update message for the last 2 weeks. Today I read about it a bit, and finally just gave in and ran the update. I don't know if it actually updated, but the message is gone, it says my system is up to date, and I still have S-OFF/root. FWIW.

I saw that, thanks. I wanted the update, I just couldn't find any solid answers on whether it disabled root or not. It sounded like it disabled root but left S-OFF alone, so I did ran the update, thinking I could root it again later. But now I still have root, so I don't know if the update was actually applied or not.
I'm not worried either way, it was just an experience relevant to the OP's question.

Go into Settings/About Phone and see what firmware version you have, if it's 26 your updated, if it's still 21, it didn't update.
If you don't know if it's updated, it's prolly not. You would've known as it would've rebooted and then had run the update. If you don't recall any of that, your not updated.
Like was posted previously, you'd be better off finding which ROM has the update and then just flash that, be sure to do a backup 1st and foremost in case you screw up, you can always flash back to what you had and start over.
The only way that update will take is if you have stock with just root and no changes, I did this initially though and you will loose root, which is why I recommend you backup before trying, this way you don't have to root over again.
Edit build.prop. Here is the configuration you'll need to change to stop the OTA updates. This will also help save your battery if it frequently tries to download on 3G.

If you want to stay put on the version you have now, not accept the update, not be bothered by it again, then following bsdbytes's info for editing the build.prop is what you need to do.
If you want to accept and the NOV OTA update and still have clockworkmod recovery and root after... see -> http://solo.dc3.com/dinc/ (If you have an SLCD incredible, be carefull of which CWM Recovery version you use).

The current Unrevoked3 (ver 3.21) does not work to root the Nov OTA, nor install a custom recovery. There were tweets about an update coming, but delays due to thanksgiving, finals, etc. I haven't seen an ETA posted yet.

thanks for the info. you're right, it didn't update, i'm still at 21. when i clicked update a window came up saying it was going to reboot, but it never did. must be due to change i had on the device.

thanks for that link - i'll try to go through that when i get a chance.
I'm in Cincinnati Ohio, and I have a *completely stock and non-rooted* Note 2. I have been trying to get this OTA update since it came out, but no dice so far.
It basically just says that no update is available - the same message everyone else reported. Am I just in an area where it has not been rolled out for *anybody*? Or is there something going on?
I know on my Nexus 7 I had to clear the data on a google service to get it to notice when the Kit Kat update showed up - anything like that for the Note 2?
Thanks.
P.S.
I have searched both XDA and with google, and completely read through the main large thread in this forum relating to the update.
I don't want to load the update in any other way that will wipe my phone. I understand that many of you don't feel like waiting for an OTA, and download these updates and load them manually. I do not want to do that. So, this post is only seeking information as to how I can get the OTA update through the update mechanism in the phone.

Have you tried updating through KIES?

No, I don't even have it installed. If I decide to install KIES, does it do the update without wiping the phone - just like the OTA?
I just don't like installing vendor crapware on my computers unless it is absolutely necessary. Which is why I don't own electronics with a "i" prefix.
Ok, I installed KIES and attached is an error message it gives relating to a firmware update

Crap, nevermind. I got this phone via trade and it turns out that the guy I got it from had rooted it at some time in the past... So no OTA for me. I'll accomplish it the way all the other folks have.

Software update installed itself. Is the March root impossible for me?
My Note 4 pestered me constantly to update the software, and I kept hitting the home button. Eventually I got tired of it and hit "Update Later" thinking it would stop nagging me every 15 minutes if I hit that button.
Well nope. Instead the phone shut off in the middle of downloading my apps and starting installing the software update.
This pissed me off so much.
Are my chances for root lower in March? Is it possible to downgrade the software?
Thanks!

That was what I read. That's why when the software update installed without my approval I got annoyed. If a root does come, and it's not for my software version due to the OTA update, I'll be screwed out of root. Could I flash back to stock then?

You read it wrong. It's a question not an answer. Do you THINK we will have root by March 1st? As for your question I wouldn't loose any sleep over taking the update. You can flash back to the previous NI1 with Odin if needed. If you are worried about any future OTAs being forced on your phone see this thread or this one and follow the directions to block the OTA.
For some reason my phone will not let me take the newest update for the Verizon G4. Does anybody know of another way besides OTA or Verizon Update Assistant that I could update my phone? Can't find the KDZ to try and flash. Any help would be appreciated. Thank You
Mine won't see it either. They may have pulled the update?

I would also love to hear of a way to update to Verizon's 12a without OTA. I unrooted my 11a version in order to get 12a to fix touchscreen issues. It seems the 12a OTA is not around, at least verizon doesn't want to give it to me.
Oddly enough after using kdz for 11a my software showed status as "Official". But a few hours later it switched to Modified, even though I'm not rooted. Not sure why.
I don't see it either

Same here, my phone is unrooted, and it is on Verizon Network.
I have tried OTA update, it keep saying i already have the latest update (which is 11A)
I have also tried Verizon Update Assistant Installer (working in windows 7, but not in Windows 10), same thing, when I tried to update, it keep saying I already have the latest update (which is 11A)
do any one know Verizon push OTA by the list? (e.g. some people will get first, and some people will get last) or every one should get OTA at once?
Also, is possible Verizon pull the 12A update due to notification issue?
thanks
It's highly likely that Verizon pulled this update. Nobody has reported receiving it since about 10/10. I'm sure we'll see a new one drop soon that fixes whatever was wrong with 12A.

Thanks for the info.
Hoping Verizon does not take too much time, We will get Marshmallow soon, then 12A is no longer needed.
Is anyone else getting this or does anyone know of a solution to this? It basically tries to download and fails immediately on WiFi and cellular. I wish I could get the update from OP but of course it's still not listed.

So in theory, if I unroot then run OnePlus updater I should be able to get the update. Then reboot after. Correct?
Maybe I did something wrong, but I tried unrooting for the last OTA and still received the same error. I had to wait until the full version was on the OnePlus site, I think OnePlus updater grabs the zip from there too. It also took a month longer for the full zip to hit the OnePlus site.
Flash the stock boot.img and then try again. It should update. Just make sure you use the correct boot.img for the version your currently on
I have global unlocked varient and when I first received it I just flashed BA/EU on both slots(local upgrade twice) and I've been able to get all full zip updates(via system updates and/or O2 updater app) staying rooted the whole time. I'm in US on tmo, I'm wondering what could have been so beneficial some ppl want to stay on AA/glo builds.?
Initially I was getting that error. Then I ran the uninstall in Magisk and chose to RESTORE IMAGES. I then just hit retry on the OTA from the phone settings (NOT Oxygen Updater) and the update installed. Initially this did not for 11.2.3.3 as it would still give the error after unrooting by uninstalling Magisk, then it worked for 11.2.4.4 and 11.2.5.5. So YMMV. You can look here for my update process as I was having an issue post-OTA:
No cell service after update to 11.2.4.4AA while keeping root
I'll try to keep this short. Global OP9 Pro on 11.2.2.2AA, bootloader unlocked, rooted w/Magisk. Been trying to find the best way to update. Decided on trying this: 1. Un-rooting by going in to Magisk and doing UNINSTALL->RESTORE IMAGES 2...

Not knowing that the AA variant would have dog**** updates from the start, and already having restored my old phone's data and not wanting to go through setup and restore again.
Edit: The goal is also to eventually get on crDroid anyway so it's whatever. I'm not resetting until there's an official crDroid build out.
