The official OTA link is http://d-h.st/3j0.
The update script checks for all the original .apks, .odexs, etc. Update fails when any of the original files are missing.
Sorry..not familiar with Moto..Gonna update wife's phone. What's the next step... Rename to update.zip and place in root of sdcard? Phone is stock not rooted.

Edit: Nope, no need for SBF on a Safestrap phone, just go back into Safestrap and uninstall the recovery.
I was getting a Status 7 failure from logwrapper but it does not require SBF to fix. Hooray!

Did you uninstall any bloat apps? If so, did you restore a backup or is everything just working for you? I am rooted on JB leak and uninstalled many bloat apps and just trying to figure out what my next step is here. And what does SBF stand for? Sorry for the ignorance, never owned a locked bootloader phone before so this is all new lol.

I only disabled bloat apps, didn't uninstall any. It checks to make sure all system apps are present (but not enabled). Your only option if you've uninstalled bloat apps using something like TiBu and if you've installed the JB leak is to revert to ICS factory image. SBF is "system boot file."
You're going to need to grab the ICS fastboot file from the dev forum and install it before either the OTA or this will work.
Root on its own is not a problem but if you have changed system apps (bloat is all "system") you'll need to do that.
If you installed safestrap that's fine, but you have to uninstall the recovery using the app before this will work because it checks the boot sequence.
Is the official update going to be worth it if we already have the leaked jellybean? All the sites I've read provide the same information regarding the new features for the update (all the same as the jellybean leak). If anyone has updated to the official jellybean from the leaked can you provide any information regarding the differences between the two
Confirmed working, and according to the Verizon PDF this official version has improved 4g reception as well as less drops on signal, improved WiFi and Bluetooth its running fine for me, going to try root and safe strap now
---------- Post added at 06:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 06:07 AM ----------
Root not working which means safe strap is not working.... reverting back too old jb leak for the time being
Installed and working great.
OTARootkeeper backed up root then temp uninstalled root. Booted into stock recovery, flashed OTA from sd card, booted up, restored root, made sure entitlement_check was still set to "0"....tested stock hotspot app and works great.
Thanks OP for providing the link.
Can't wait for a non Verizon version of this. The RAZR M has to be my favorite android phone so far - great form factor and great hardware... just being stuck on ice cream sandwich is a bit **** but I'm prepared to wait

Yes, this is Verizon's official OTA. I haven't been running long so I will not comment much on stability. For the first few minutes one system app continuously force closed and restarted and the notification bar / soft keys disappeared. A reboot solved those problems.

The SU binaries were deleted during my install, despite OTARootkeeper. However superuser responded to app requests giving the appearance of root.

Root checker stated I was rooted. May have to check again to make sure the binaries are still there. Will mess w/ her (g/f's) phone when she's done using it.
Just went back to Jellywiz from Paranoid on my S3 w/ some new radios we got leaked, so been busy setting all my crap back up.
Really hoping we can get Pimp My Rom on the M soon.
I also had no issues re-rooting with OTA Rootkeeper after manual update. I think I'm enjoying project butter the most!
If I install this like other people did with the leaked version, will I have any issues if there is ever another update?

3 options
1. unroot your device in order to update, you need stock recovery to update
2. there's a thread someone uploaded an update.zip which contains the 4.1.2 updates for those with rooted device
3. I think there's an OTA update for rooted, search it up
I think it's located in /cache, just go through the folders there.

I used myself flashed 4.1.1 in Odin and then got ota rootkeeper off the play store and backed up root. Then did temp. unroot and updated to 4.1.2 and then used ota rootkeeper to restore root without any real issues. I say any real issues because after update and restoring root I opened supersu and it wanted to download binary and failed. All I had had to do was restart my device and then supersu worked fine.

Looking for some help
I am currently running Sprint's OTA 4.3 (MK4) on my Note 2. I have rooted using Odin 3.07 and CF-Auto-Root-t0ltespr-t0ltespr-sphl900.
After every reboot SuperSU is stopped (I assume by knox) until I reinstall it. Then SuperSU works (or at least pretends to).
My WIFI Trev-E Mod starts with errors, so I was looking to flash to LorJay's ROM. Which brings me to deleting/disabling the KNOX off of my phone.
I have root directory access, but when I delete the files you specify, they do not disappear, even though the explorer states they have been deleted and then only the files /system/apps location show at all. The rest aren't there.
I tried rebooting and KNOX is still there and I have to reinstall SuperSU again.
I have also rooted using Android Root in which it says root is successful as well. But with the same results.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

If you are going to install anther rom dont worry about knox. Put phone in download mode and use odin to flash recovery (I suggest philz 6.07.9) but uncheck the reboot option. Once it flashes everything disconnect from pc pull battery. Now the tricky part. Hold down volume up key, menu key, and power key. Now reinsert battery at same time. Ii find it easiest to turn phone upside down to perform this task. Once it boots into recovery just flash your desired rom.

And from stock MK4 the easiest method to root and such for me is just use Google Kingo Root App on PC to root. It will restart phone and then you can install from the market GooManager if you want TWRP (touch) recovery, or RomManager for CWM. I installed all recoveries successfully (haven't tried any philz yet) and can flash whatever rom from there. Less battery pulling and no ODIN necessary.
Then usually I install Titanium Backup and remove Knox and freeze or remove other bloat. Leaves me an almost clean stock experience.
Just in case anyone needs an alternate method.

I just updated my NEXUS 7 2013 from 4.4 to 4.4.2 but after restarting, the Android version in settings still says 4.4.
I checked for updates again in System Updates menu but my device says the system is up to date.
My device is Nexus 7 2013 32G rooted under TWRP 2.6.3.1 recovery on Super SU root.
I also tried updating manually using TWRP zip update but it failed.
here's the part of the prompt during TWRP update:
Verifying current system...
"/system/bin/debuggerd" has unexpected contents.
E: Error executing updater binary in zip '/sdcard/Dow...
Hope someone can help me find a solution for this. Thanks!
I auto updated my nexus 7 2013 wifi 32gb with 4.2.2 and there were no problems. I put the device back to stock 4.4 first and unrooted the tablet as well. My suggestion is to get the toolkit and select any version for device then select flash stock and unroot box. I did this and received the ota update the next day. After updating successfully you can root and install custom recovery again if that is what you want. Do not OEM lock the device because every time you unlock it again you will erase all content.
Best of luck

I'm guessing the Stickmount issue is only present on 4.4 because I was on 4.4.1 (Stock Rooted ROM by Scroler) and flashed the OTA I received on device in TWRP and it successfully updated to 4.4.2...and I never lost root ?

Cool, I just ran the update myself with no issues. I just changed back to the stock recovery first and ran the ota to 4.4 no problem. I was worried about it though because I had issues when doing my Nexus 4 but it was my fault. At the end in the recovery when it asked if I wanted it to fix root I clicked yes. I should have clicked no and just rerooted using wug or something.
Now I am going to grab the 4.4.2 update. I do not have ota yet for 4.1 or 4.2 on my Nex 7. My Nex 4 though is all set at 4.4.2 and it seems like they really fixed tons of stuff! I can't wait to get that on the 7!!

I used to have OTA problems with Stickmount and that damn debuggered file on my 2012 Nexus 7. Never installed it on my flo as a result.
Are you saying that simply uninstalling Stickmount will be sufficient for an OTA to take successfully? Does uninstalling reinstate the previous debuggered file, or must we replace it manually?

Yes. Upon installation, Stickmount makes a backup of debuggerd in the same directory with a bak extension, when uninstalled it renames it to debuggerd, restoring the stock debuggerd, I did not have to put it back manually.

The over the air will not work if you have a custom recovery. You have to flash the update zip with TWRP or whatever custom recovery you are using. You could move the update from "cache" to "storage" if you still had it or just download it to storage and then flash (Install) it with TWRP..

Is it still OK to flash this on top of the KitKat ROM, or is that going to muck up things? (Or did you already "bake" it in by getting rid of some of the stuff in the debloat process?).
Thanks again!

It should still work fine on KK.
But the debloated rom already has the OTA stuff removed.
Look in Settings > see anywhere to even check for a software update? No you won't...
It's already been removed.

Stock Un-Rooted HTC One..?
My husbands phone (which he refused to let me root when we had the chance, has been giving him a lot of grief with this latest OTA. It keeps downloading, attempting to install, and there errors 410 update failed, and exits software update. When I checked his phone after the latest attempt by the phone to install 4.4.3 to see if the download was still ON his device, it had disappeared with the failure of the update.
My question is, he's just sick of getting the prompt, error, and reboot - as a temp fix, can I push this OTA Killer onto his phone even though it isn't rooted and have it work, or do I need to find a signed RUU of the 4.4.3 and flash in bootloader (as I was originally planning on doing, but came across this...)
Thanks in advance!!!

If he has a custom recovery installed, then it will work. Have you tried downloading the OTAzip to his SD card and running the ota directly from stock recovery?
Get into recovery, select install update from SD, select OTAzip.

NO, no custom recovery installed, everything is 100% stock. He spent a good part of 3 hours with tech support with Verizon and HTC and they were both dumbfounded....go figure!
Problem is because it's a virtual SD, I have no way of verifying (without root) that it's even downloaded to the virtual one on the M7. Would it hurt anything to take a shot at it from stock recovery.....?
Or is there a link someone could suggest to a download to the OTApkg file?

would this help my problem??
I recently read a post, I don't know where now, but it had to do with a hidden Trojan/malware. That was started in 2013... After reading, thinking back to when this really started affecting me Feb,26, 2015. I noticed some strange things mentioned in my service log from around that date. The post mentioned how it places a high tracker in some obscure app. Unfortunately I got the bug, BAD!!! So not knowing about this until I made it worse by plugging my phone into my computer... I'm sure you can figure out the rest. My everything is screwed now. My HTC one m7, is the only device I can use period, now. I tried to root, and couldn't. Then downloaded another root checker, and it said my device was already rooted. Is there anything I can do(on my knees begging). This has to be the worst inter-web experience ever. Any and all ideas, advice, similar problems, links, and time are greatly appreciated. Thank you
Hey Guys,
I'm trying to apply the OTA update to move to KitKat but I've tried it twice now and both times before it even starts doing anything on the installation after turning off, I get a dead android icon with a red triangle and an exclamation point. I figured this issue was due to me removing some packages to uninstall bloat but I restored all the ones I backed up and I'm not sure if I'm missing something. I'm rooted using the saferoot on 98.30.1.XT907.Verizon.en.US. How can I get my phone to update? I'm aware that I'll lose root but it's not imperative for me. I really only use it to get rid of ads using AdAway. Thanks in advance!
Is there a way to get the apk's for all the system installed apps that come with the Droid RAZR M? I could go through and install the ones I'm missing that way. I thought I backed up any ones that I was removing so that this wouldn't happen when a new OTA came out but apparently not.
Your best bet will likely be to RSD back to stock and then take the OTA.

So I would just want to use RSDLite from here - http://www.4shared.com/zip/uOa2HVb9/RSDLite616.html
And then download the same version of Android I have now (98.30.1.XT907.Verizon.en.US) from here - http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=8 and install that?
You could flash the new firmware right away.

Would that do a factory reset in the process? I just want to know if I need to backup my pictures before hand. I haven't had a problem with doing OTA's and losing pictures but I guess if there's some in there I want to keep I should back them up anyways. I don't really use my phone for many pictures though.
Using the linked files it shouldn't delete user data (wipe), but some system settings will get reset.
Please see this thread.

I would use house of moto. It reflashed the system, boot.img, etc, and I kept all of my data. When it booted up, I took the update just fine. Here's a link to the forum: http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/topic/28162-house-of-moto-22/

I'm not sure on that. I was on the stock rom to begin with but I had removed some bloat (thought I had backups for everything but I guess not) and after restoring it all it wouldn't install. Tried it twice to no avail. Then just grabbed the KK update zip file and RSD'ed it over and it was done in about 5-10 min. Phone was running slow while Google Play went and downloaded updates for all my apps but it's running beautifully now.

Yes, as long it's the same or a newer system version you're flashing: You can restore your version, you can upgrade it to a newer one, but to downgrade the bootloader has to be unlocked.

I am unlocked. Thank you...
Truth be told, I never tried to downgrade from KitKat, so maybe there's something different now, but I believe it works, just as a downgrade from JB to ICS.
