Update the firmware from the phone never works, atleast not for me. Use Kies. Doky's post has the same firmware you have, so you cant update via Odin for now.

OTA won't work when you using cusrom..
back to your 'origin' rom and then try it again

Thanks for the help actually after having problem in Update or ROM i thought theese sort of software, ROM, Stock falls under development ;-)
Thanks again for moving the thread

Hey friend
Have you tried clearing your cache before trying the update? You can do it by pressing volume up + home + power. As a last resort if you are really that keen to update via FOTA then perhaps make a full backup and also select wipe data (its in the same 3 button combo mode) Doing this will wipe EVERYTHING on the phone and bring it back to stock state, ie when you bought the phone. So make sure you have a backup if you try that route.

Samsung Galaxy Nexus Update Error

Hi Guys!
I did not find anything concerning this problem, so i considered posting it here, I hope this is the right section though.
I own a GSM Galaxy Nexus (German Phone) and after finally getting the update 2 4.0.4 my phone always jumps into this state after rebooting and trying 2 update:

As i found no way to update manually this is probably the only way to get to 4.0.4.
The Phone is rooted and has 4.0.2 running atm.
Anyone some advice?
Greetings
Julian

Your have one or more of the following:
1) a radio that is different from XXKK6;
2) a boot image that is either not stock or (if it is stock), a different version from the one included in the factory image of the ROM you are using;
3) a stock recovery that is a different version from the one included in the factory image of the ROM you are using;
4) files in /system that were modified or deleted, either by you, or one of your root apps.
Those issues need to be rectified before the update will install.
Have a read of this thread for additional info.

Hey efrant
Thanks for you fast answer!
I checked the list.
1.) My Baseband/Radio is I9250XXKK6, so i guess thats ok so far.
2 and 3.) As far as I know I'm on stock Boot image and ROM, how can I check that on my phone? (Heres the info from the system info menu: Kernel-Version: 3.0.8-gaaa2611 [email protected] #1, Build number: ICL53F)
4.) I had several files altered by root apps:
- I'm using Avast Anti Theft and had the Anti Theft functions written into my bootrom (which could likely cause a problem)
- I'm using a Web Remote App that altered some files in the system at least it requested superuser access
Thanks
Julian

The easiest way to proceed is to flash CWM, download the IMM76I-from-ICL53F update from here and try to install it in CWM. CWM will tell you exactly which file/files is/are causing the problem.

So, I'll use Method 2 from your link above and this firmware right, and report back!
Worked flawlessly! Thank you!

Or not....
I had OTA RootKeeper installed before the Update and just reflashed the device afterwards being sure that my device will be rooted again....
Well as i found out right now it didnt protect anything, i tried Root Check Basic (Which says my device isnt properly rooted) and wanted to do a superuser binary update which always fails at "getting root access".
I tried rerooting the device using the GNex Root Toolkit several times, with OTA RootKeeper protection on and off, no difference.
Im not sure what a rest would do to my phone as I have an anti theft app installed and several other things that would cost me some time to rebuild after reset. So i'd by happy to solve this without a factory rest. Any Suggestions?
Thank you
Julian

[Q] LT28i Root

Hi Guys!
I'm sorry if this question has been asked a gazillion times, but I want to know what I'm getting into first as I am new to rooting.
I have a Sony Xperia Ion (LT28i) with Jelly Bean on it (4.1.2). I was simply wondering if the process outlined in this thread would work:

Once again, sorry for a repeat but I'm not exactly sure about what my firmware is etc.

yes that will work..go to settings>about phone> and you will find all the info abt ur software versions...u are basically looking for build number here..

Build Number is:
6.2.B.0.211
Therefore since it appears to be the most recent firmware, I can simply skip to the rooting portion of the guide correct?
Thanks, I've been hoping to get my phone rooted to get rid of all the bloatware.
You guys are awesome!

I have attempted to root the device to no avail. Does the firmware have to be flashed over? Or can I use the firmware currently on it. If it has to be flashed over, my phone does not appear to have drivers in the flash tool. Can I flash without installing a driver?

u have an unlocked bootloader or locked???

I believe it is locked as I have not done anything to the phone besides upgrading to JB from ICS. I used the Sony PC Companion to do so as well.
Edit: Bootloader is locked and apparently cannot be unlocked. (According to System info)

It doesnt matter...can you tell me the steps that you did briefly and where you faced the problem?

It tells me to use the display system check but it just gets stuck hanging at a white screen on my phone and the program does not continue from there. If you could tell me the version of the root program and which option to use, I might be able to do it, but I've tried a few different versions of it with different options. Not exactly sure what I can do.
Edit: Do I have to flash my firmware before trying to root? It doesn't say anywhere that I have to, however could that be what's not allowing me to root?

This method doesnt work with your .211 fw. Try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1886460&highlight=root+211+ion

I've tried that thread's root method. All I keep getting is a screen that it pauses at basically indefinitely, and none of the other root options work.

[Q] knox and rooting questions

Hey everyone. Im relatively new to this forum and rooting. I have some background knowledge in programming and other related aspects, unfortunately nothing related to Android. As well as some Linux OS experience. Now as far as i know ROM's could be compared to OS builds. Android 4.1.2, 4.3, 4.4, etc. Rooting makes you a super user/sudo like Linux. I think i have that pretty much correct. Now for the things i know little about.
-KNOX so far it seems its mostly used for enterprises and to see if we have installed a custom ROM. I've seen a lot of different information about Knox. What exactly else does it do/change? As of 4.3 i see we could no longer roll back or we will brick our device. What should i be wary of? I could care less about tripping the knox counter.
-Stock OTA is another thing i was curious about. This simply means an update was installed post factory by user, correct? My girlfriend has an S3 and i cant remember if 4.3 was stock or 4.1.2. I just wanted to clear up if my OTA updated S3 was covered under this.
-i saw one root method which kept the stock recovery but installed the superuser. What is the benefit for having a stock recovery? Would i be able to use a custom one with Knox in place? I was thinking of using a 4.4 cyanogenmod rom.
Sorry if this seems a bit noobish, but my schedule is tight and i spent maybe 6 hours trying to find exact information. Kind of hidden lol.
I appreciate any answers!

And to answer some if them.
There is no advantage to stock recovery, you can't do anything with it.
Yes you can do anything the same with Knox but installing a custom recovery triggers the warranty bit in Knox. If you bring in your phone to be repaired or something, if they put the phone in Download Mode they could tell whether you installed a custom recovery because Warranty Bit would say 1 instead of zero. There's also no way to reset the flash counter with Knox.
And the biggest thing, if you have Knox do not try to downgrade the firmware. Aka don't try to Odin anything other than 4.3+. It will brick your device.
Other than those things it won't effect you at all.
And yes an OTA is Over The Air update. When the device scans for firmware updates and it find one it automatically downloads it and persistently bugs you about it until your firmware is the most current version. Done by the user or sometimes the techs at phone stores like to do it without asking you.

So to clarify (at work, ill read your link, appeciate it) Knox wont affect anything BUT the counter and downgrading? So i could root the old way with odin and cwm for 4.1.2 without problems?
Stock recovery is just worse in general or similar? Lastly "stock" ota is what i meant lol. I guess that means a non-custom ROM from your carrier?
I personally dont care for my warranty, i have a few months left in my contract and could upgrade now to a new phone if i wanted.
Thanks. I hate to sound like i did no research, i appreciate the link.

[Discuss] Capturing the OTA

Since, sony released new update couple of days ago, with 15.4.a.1.9, rc2, many of us have unlocked bootloader, so can't install it via OTA and also not through PCC.
So I was wondering if anyone knows how to capture the OTA?
If anyone have ideas, please share, I can try to capture it.
BTW, I have tried to install the ota, even on unlocked bootloader, but it takes me to cwm, nothing happens, not hard/soft brick etc...
