Dear all,
I hope anyone can help me. I am trying to update to the latest Android version which I got OTA today. I have rooted my device and I am running TWRP (version 2.8.5.0) since some time. (Rooted it to restore some apps using Titanium backup). When I try to update using the OTA my device boots into recovery. When I choose install and select the downloaded zip file my device gives me the following error:
E: Zip signature verification dailed: 1
Disabling the ZIP verification doesn't work as I will just get another error message.
I have tried sideloading the ROM using adb commands but so far this hasn't worked either.
Anyone can give me some directions as how to continue from here? I would really like to update my device to Android 5!
Update with solution (for me):
What worked for me was downloading the OTA update like I would normally do. Then connect the phone to the computer and copy the downloaded update file to the computer (should be located on internal memory/download/). Once you have the file on your computer extract it, and then extract the file 'firmware'. Inside this second file should be a recovery.img. If you flash this recovery to your phone (no need to unroot or relock your bootloader) you will then be able to install the update.
That's because you need stock recovery to flash OTA. It won't work with TWRP because the OTA ZIP works different than a custom ROM.
Go back to stock everything and it'll work.
Or wait a couple of days till the boys here come up with a lollipop rom.
Ok thanks a lot, that'll help me I'll let you guy know if I run into any more problems.
how revert back to stock rom

sir my phone also on same condition and on 1.17.707.9
please send above file link for me I have no update notification
now we want ruu
sir please send file link
Use these two files. First restore the stock nandroid using twrp (remember to choose NO when twrp prompts you to install supersu and root rom).
After you successfully restore the backup, flash stock recovery.
That should take care of it.

Are you able to install this OTA after you returned to stock .17.707.9 ?
You were on 1.17.707.9 and you received the above mentioned file as OTA ?
Can it be installed by stock recovery (un-rooted phone) or do i have to root and install twrp to install this OTA ?

in usual way of that you have to put update file in Download folder in internal memory(after that you may have to restart) and then go to setting > about > software update, checking for update and wait the way that should be.

So i just got the ota update today the lollipop for my country (Egypt) i had phone rooted with custom recovery TWRP i tried installing the update and failed.. then i flashed the stock recovery and still fails...gone to supersu and settings and unrooted it and tried again, still fails...
relocked the bootloader and STILL fails this now got me so mad because upon every install failure i had to redownload the update (it takes a long time tho) so if anyone could help me here i will be so thankful.

Hello,
is there an OTA package which i can flash with a stock recovery (my phone i locked, i don't like to have an unlocked bootloader)?
I am on 4.0.2 right now...
No, you need to be rooted or unlocked to flash the OTA package. Just wait for the official one, it will probably be pushed sometime during easter
I'm still waiting for the OTA aswell
I was pretty sure that the OTA process just downloads a file which will be flashed via the stock recovery. So if someone would have this stock OTA package (update.zip) i can just place in the internal storage and reboot into stock recovery. At least on my HTC Hero at 1.5 -> 1.6 it was working this way...must have remembered something wrong there...

Haven't tried it myself (since I am rooted and unlocked) but I recon that you can unlock (and loose ALL your data), root, flash the onetime CWM Recovery, flash the 4.0.4 stock image (by which you will loose root), relock (and loose ALL your data again).
At the end you would be completely stock again. That can all be done through the GNEX toolkit by Mskip that can be found here: Link.
You can download the official Google image from here: Link

that was probably right with the htc hero, also on my htc desire..because the ota package was picked by the stock recovery from the sdcard
but the stock recovery on our galaxy nexus with ics, expect the ota to be on the /cache partition..without root u can't write in that partition, only the os itself can write there

If you are on yakju, root using this method (note you only need temp root, so only do up to step 6), then place the update file from here to /cache and reboot into stock recovery and flash.

Thank you
Btw. it's easier to just root the OS (go above step 6) instead of only go to 6...for the cp command you will need busybox...i have seen "cat" somewhere but i couldn't figure out how it works...but i seems to be that you can copy files without installing busybox since cat is supported from android at stock...

Correct, that is why I used cat in my directions instead of cp, as you would not have busybox installed if you are not root...
I'm still on 4.0.1
Is there any way to force an OTA update to 4.0.2 or 4.0.4 without rooting. Or manually install an update with a .zip update through stock recovery rather than CWM. I am unable to get any OTA updates it says my system is up to date which it clearly isnt.

If you have custom recovery and root the ota update obviously wont work. I had asked the developer of root for our devices for the otas and this is what he had said:
dalingrin said:
My suggestion, if you want to keep root don't take an OTA.
If you really want to stay with stock LG then you'll want to flash updates via custom recovery. The community will take the updates from LG and make them flashable with TWRP or CWM.

so you ll have to wait for someone to make this update a flashable zip.

Yeah there is a script that runs when you do a OTA. My buddy had to completely restore to stock using download mode to fix his. You may get lucky with doing a factory wipe but sounds like flashing a new rom didn't even help... Look through the forums and find the thread that guides you through doing a regular restore (this will restore you to the original software. You will be unrooted and your recovery will go back to stock. This means you can do the OTA if you so desire. Just keep in mind it may block Loki and root)

Thanks for the reply mate,
Yeah i will do like that , but surely there is a way somewhere to remove the boot loop , from TWRP you can remove edit files.
So if someone with more knowledge tell us where the OTA files give the command to boot to recovery we can remove it.

I unbricked the device with FlashTool.1.0.54 , i flashed the original firmware , the strange thing this did not wipe my data, only removed Custom recovery and root.

After booting, a samsung-like:laugh: message:

Fortunately this tablet is not mine... This tablet needs a "google edition" update ASAP
Maybe somebody could cook this update into a package that can be flashed by people who are on stock, but rooted?

Hi I m really new to this so excuse me ...
i got many updates by flashing with fastboot prerooted system.img i was on 2.19.40.18 prerooted but i would like to go to a stock no rooted to be able to apply OTA now
I tried an erase of my phone, but i came back to prerooted ...
I tried to install tethered TWRP and to install the.zip from asus download page but it was stuck on updating IFWI .... ( 2.19.40.20 zip file from asus )
What can i do ?
Plz help me
You need to go into the SuperSU settings, scroll to near the bottom and choose "Full unroot."
I did all on this post : http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/general/guide-to-apply-ota-bootloop-rooted-zf2-t3127835
I did unroot, flashed all 4 line before but i think my recovery is corrupted, it end in error with the green guy instantly and flashin via fastboot recovery.img isnt doing anybetter ...
I m really stuck ..

Protocol fault is because you don't use latest ADB. Google it.
i successfully did this but now adb is stuck on serving 13 % and on the phone : verifying update package , it stopped like 15 min ago ...
Here's what I did to go from pre-rooted system back to stock.
1. Download the official latest image from Asus http://www.asus.com/support/Download/39/1/0/13/Lk0Sg1Ulh0Ph49Hl/32/
2. Rename the zip to MOFD_SDUPDATE.zip
3. Unroot via SU
4. Uninstall Xposed and modules if you have them busybox etc. (uninstall.bat for xposed it's easy)
5. Copy MOFD_SDUPDATE.zip to an SD card and insert into phone or copy to internal memory
6. Boot into recovery by holding power and volume up
7. If you get dead android press power button and volume up button and release.
8. Auto installs new image
I went this route after unrooting via SU and uninstalling xposed framework still wouldn't let me run OTA updates for some reason. I imagine I did something along the road or removed a system app or something. It wouldn't let me manually sideload or update and would error out halfway through the process. I cleared fastboot cache and even reset the device to no avail. I was on 2.19.40.18. I installed the 2.19.40.20 image then the OTA update to .22 yesterday.
If I root the device again which is likely I'll use method 3 and the rootkit tool.
i will try your way, installing the 22 now.
But i dont remember in recovery the auto installs new image ?
error in recovery trying to update the .22 like you said, i need to put the .20 before the .22 ?

I installed the 2.19.40.20 full system image (1.1GB) from Asus yesterday. They didn't have the full image for .22 up but they do now. I was on the .18 pre-rooted image. When you hold power and volume up choose recovery and it should install the MOFD_SDUPDATE.zip automatically (mine did). I had issues trying to manually update the phone from .18 to .20 and .22 via ADB (the patches are like 30MB). It would start the update with the android robot then fail about halfway.
Download the correct system image for your device. The new update is available as a full image now so download the .22 image from Asus and then rename it to MOFD_SDUPDATE.zip. Copy it to an SD card and insert it back into your phone. Phone is powered off so hold power and volume up to get the recovery screen. It will say Normal in a big green arrow. Change it to recovery via the volume buttons then hit power button and it should find and automatically install the MOFD_SDUPDATE.zip image.
FYI this is on a ZE551ML 4GB/64GB US WW firmware based phone. I imagine the other models are the same or very similar.
I wish I could articulate this better. Hopefully someone more knowledgeable comes along and lends a hand.

Flashing the entire system image you want to wipe everything anyways in this case. If you mean using the one click rootkit (method 3) to root then no it will not.
Yea. I'm hoping someone finds a way to return this to a "never been rooted" device where the OTA actually works.

Flash the .18 pre-rooted, then don't update SuperSU binary. Take OTAs as needed.
If OTA doesn't show up, download the OTA and adb sideload into stock recovery.

I've done that before, with any OTA, it'll give me the error droid when installing. That's when I said screw it, and try to unroot. And now I'm stuck with that error no matter what.

This was last attempt unrooted and this morning's OTA
Hello XDA,
I very recently got an HTC 10 and the 1st thing I did was install TWRP and root the phone using SuperSU. I completely forgot about firmware updates since those were rare on my old phone (HTC one m8).
Now, the problem I face is that I can't receive OTAs anymore since my recovery is modified.
My questions are:
Are OTAs worth to get? Do they significantly improve the phone's behaviour? The 1st OTA (1.21 > 1.30) is said to improve phone and wifi stability as well as camera. Is it that significant?
How should I go about installing OTAs now? Should I flash them?
Thank you!
1. yeah OTA are worth to get, mostly.
2. I'm doing it by : - restoring system image and boot, then flashing proper stock recovery, then manually updating OTA via file on SD, and after that back to TWRP and SuperSU. But this will only work for stock rom.
Thank you, the problem is that I can't find the proper stock recovery anywhere. I'd need the 1.21 european version and I couldn't find it anywhere
To get OTA upgrade, I use the following method:-
Disable security
Full Nandroid
Flash RUU (to get firmware)
Flash TWRP
Restore Nandroid
Enable security (pin/pattern)

Should be able to received OTA, right? just can't install it using TWRP recovery.
I copy the OTA firmware file from /data/data/com.htc.updater/files to external microSD card then move to PC.
extract the firmware.zip, recovery.img is in there, then its just a process of flashing to HTC recovery.
It works for my M7, sort of work for the last 1.95.400.3 to 1.90.400.4 update. What I mean is system is update to 1.90.400.4 but I did see a warning triangle with exclamation mark, this is the first OTA update I experience, don't know if this is normal.
Don't see any issue after update so I guess it work.
BTW, I use ES explorer with root access; WinRAR to extract the recovery cause 7zip can't.

Please ignore the above, I was wrong to think the above method will work in HTC 10.
Hi everyone, first time posting here.
I've recently purchased a HTC 10 from a friend. I'm looking to upgrade it to android version 7
The phone has TWRP recovery but no back up of a stock untouched ROM, ive tried looking for a stock UK H3G ROM (H3G_001) but I've been unable to find 1.
Could someone give me a little help on how to update my phone, possibly an idiot proof step by step guide. i just want the latest version available for my phone.
Thanks

Obviously you'd need a stock backup that matches the version you currently have.
Does your phone currently detect an available ota update?

When trying to update it says:
"Can't update software
there was an unexpected error and the file system may be corrupted. please contact HTC support..."

So, if your system is rooted or modified in any way, you'll need to flash a stock system backup, matching the firmware version you currently have. Then flash stock recovery, and you'd be able to take the OTA.
If your system is already untouched, you would just need to flash the stock recovery, again matching your firmware version, and then take the OTA. There is a recovery for 6.0.1 in that link, but I'm not sure if it's for your firmware version. You could try to flash it and see if the OTA works.
Thinking about it more, if you're able to download the ota I think the best thing to do is to flash the OTA using twrp manually. See instructions in the faq located in the twrp thread:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ht...ery-twrp-touch-recovery-t3358139/post66347165
If you follow the instructions, you should be able to take the OTA including firmware, and not have to worry about restoring anything stock first.
