Problem updating to 4.4.3

I am on a stock rom, rooted with twrp. I downloaded the 4.4.3 update ota but when rebooting it went to twrp and I did not know how to proceed so I booted to system. The update did not apply and I am still on 4.4.2
Now I cannot download the update again as it says I have the latest version.
Please tell me how I can get 4.4.3
Thanks

First make sure you have the latest twrp, then boot into it, flash the ota zip from inside twrp, the ota zip is located in /cache...be sure to wipe cache and dalvik before restarting.

Many thanks for the prompt response. Unfortunately, when I try and install the update I get a message
Unexpected Content in system/app/iWnnIME.apk
Many thanks

Me too!
I am having the exact same problem. I got a notice that an update was available but when i did the update via TWRP, it rebooted and i was still on 4.4.2. It thinks i already updated so say's I am already up to date when i check for updates again..
So i downloaded the 4.4.3 update zip file from somewhere and put in on my SDcard. Then went into TWRP to install it and it complains that /system/app.Videos.apk has unexpected contents - WTF??? Then aborts. Why is a simple update so damn problematic?
Am i out of luck? I don't want to have to wipe my tablet and start over.

Both of you modified /system, you must dirty flash your stock system.img then flash the ota. Additionally, if you are using a custom kernel, you will probably have to flash the stock boot.img as well.
And both if you, don't forget to do a nandroid first!

By dirty flash if you mean wipe Dalvik and cache, i did that and then tried reflashing the update but it failed again.

No, what I mean is you need your system.img (and boot.img if you use a custom kernel) from the stock rom, then you need to flash that over your /system and /boot respectively, then flash the OTA, then wipe cache and dalvik.
And both if you, don't forget to do a nandroid first!

Updated!
Bought my Nexus recently and it was android 4.3 [Dad bought it in US and forgot to check the version)
I got the OTA update to 4.4.2 a few days back but it didnt install though it finished downloading. After trying all methods, i decided to do it with Nexus Root Toolkit. But to my surprise, NRT had the 4.4.3 stock img already! I flashed it and my Tablet is smooth. No problems noted till now. If you want me to check whether a particular app is working in 4.4.3 properly or not, let me know. I will test it and tell you

Hmm..I don;t remember removing video.apk but i may have done some house cleaning awhile back. i know i don't have a backup of it anywhere. Since I'm not running a custom kernel, i just need to flash razor-kot49h-factory-ebb4918e.tar, wipe dalvik and cache and then the update and then the update should work ok? will i lose any of my installed apps after flashing the factory image? I'm assuming this puts it back to the original out of the box OS.
Actually, if that's the case that I will lose everything, why can't i just flash the factory image 4.4.3 (KTU84L) directly?

No, no, no, extract system.img from this zip, then fastboot flash them.
i.e.:
fastboot flash system system.img
...then flash the OTA, then wipe cache and dalvik.
This process will revert system to stock, thus allowing the update to work. It will not wipe data, but any changes you made to /system will be gone, you will have to reapply those changes.
You did not ask, but I use MultiROM, and I will flash a new version to a secondary, then use titanium on app data, then boot into the new secondary, make whatever changes I need to, once I am fine with how it works, I then migrate my data to it, then use the swap ROM function in MultiROM. The whole OTA thing is a PITA when you modify too much of the system.

I fought with the Nexus 7 {2013} 4.4.3 update for a good day and a half. Tablet rooted with xposed modules , etc. Same messages you got.
Found that this method works very easily and preserves all data. Takes a few minutes to accomplish, then just one minute to reroot. Try this, it works:
http://nexus5.wonderhowto.com/how-t...ndroid-4-4-3-without-losing-any-data-0155334/

sucess
OK, I was able to update successfully.
I copied down the factory razor 4.4.2 kot49h image from google and extracted the tar file using cygwin's tar because winzip was giving me errors reading the tar file. Once i extracted the contents, i used ext4_unpacker to extract the system folder. I then copied videos.apk to the system\app directory using a the File Manager App and provided the correct RW attributes.
I tried the upgrade again but got an error this time about system\bin\app_process. I searched the web and realized that i need to uninstall the Xposed framework. Then i tried the upgrade again. this time it worked. I wiped dalvik/cache and rebooted. However, now I've lost root and need to remember how i rooted initially.
Thanks all.

Just download the newest SuperSU and flash it from recovery. Then install busybox from playstore.

I had to uninstall xposed, re enable all apps. Recovery, install update in cache, wipe cache dalvik, reboot, reboot to recover flash su, boot, install supersu, reboot to TWRP and boot then reinstall xposed.
Yep if you're unlocked and rooted it can be done without a computer but it's way slower!

How did you uninstall xposed? If you did so the way you normally uninstall apps, you did it the wrong way. You should have uninstalled it from within xposed. I think you can still fix it by reinstalling xposed and doing it the right way.

Since this is the full rom, not OTA, has anyone successfully twrp from stock rooted 20e and then SuperSU and kept root? Will TiBu frozen system apps stay frozen as well? TIA

The name of the zip file and first post tells you what it is.
LG G3 D851, Pac-Man ROM, Tapatalk 4.9.5

do we flash it through TWRP? or any other custom recovery?

Yes, just as you would w/ any other ROM. Perform a full wipe beforehand, excluding both internal and external storage. And if you want to retain root and recovery, make sure to flash those immediately after (add them to the queue in TWRP).

Just flash this rom.. Everything works fine..

This may be a stupid question but I flashed this and it says I'm still vulnerable to stagefright, isn't this suppose to patch it.
Sent from my LG-D851 using Tapatalk

I flashed the same 20g ROM, and according to the Lookout Stagefright Detector app, my device is not vulnerable to Stagefright.

works but
Followed these instruction using twrp
http://forum.xda-developers.com/tmobile-lg-g3/general/firmware-t-mobile-lg-g3-t2818667
I had to reset phone after flashing and setting up. Because the phone was no functioning correctly.
Unfortunately Stagefright CVE-2015-6602 is still vulnerable according to
Zimperium Stagefright detector app.
Lookout Stagefright Detector will not detect the latest Version 2.0 vulnerabilities of Stagefright and make it clear in there app description.
"This app does not support detection of Stagefright 2.0 vulnerabilities. "
So here we go again in the waiting game.
Wouldn't it be better if google took Stagefight out of the rom, so it can could be updated in play store?

Wiped cache & Dalvik cache, flashed the OP update zip then flashed TWRP custom recovery and finally SupurSU.

I landed here because I tried the 20e to 20g update and got the "unexpected version" error via twrp. Responding to my own post cuz I got bold and did it anyways.
...So, I had TWRP 2.8.7.0 D851 installed. Did full backups with Titanium paid version and TWRP. Started with STOCK rooted d85120e, left it rooted, and used TRWP to install
1) STOCK d95120g from top of this thread,
2) TWRP d851 2.8.7.0 found elsewhere (above link is 2.8.6.0), and
3) the SuperSU zip from link found just above.
Rebooted system without any wipes. A few minutes to update apps on first reboot and mostly good to go. Had to update SupserSU binaries via normal mode, and reinstall busybox. Busybox froze on black screen on multiple attempts during it's startup check, so on next attempt, I didn't let it finish the check, just told it to install, and has been bliss all day. So far, so stable. Better have the backups and not need them than need them and not have them. Settings show D85120G and Lookout shows NOT vulnerable to stagefright.
Sitting pretty. Hope this helps others who couldn't use the 20E to 20G update method to keep stock roms with optional root.

Wiped everything as stated and flashing reboots TWRP, anyone know why this happens?

Thank you! Works - rooted 20e to 20g

Cannot dirty flash
I currently have thomson.aa's unofficial lineage os build installed. This update shows up in the updater app, but after I download it, it says the zip is corrupt or unsigned and it does not let me install it. If I manually download it and try to install via TWRP, it fails saying "can't install this package on top of incompatible data. Please try another package or run a factory reset". I would hate to have to reinstall all my stuff, though. Is there some way around this? Or is there something wrong with the update?

Got no problems installing it via TWRP. Works great, stable so far.
crdroid was fine too, lots of special settings (little too much for me), but I prefer a ROM with regular OTA updates. Thank you beroid anyway.
P.S. My grammar help changes "beroid" to "heroic"

Can this be installed over the top of cm13.0 nightly?

You basically asked the same question in 2 threads??? So as this isn't really thomson.aa's problem, I'll answer you here.
I dirty flashed from stock -> cm13 -> crDroid -> thomson.aa's LOS14 without issue. I tried with the official release and got the same as you. So after editing the installer script to force it to install, it did. But once it booted, everything kept force closing. It just wasn't happening.
So I wiped data and chose to restore my backup from google. I just installs most of your apps but it saves a bit of time. Still need to set things up properly though.

I figured this might be due to either
- Something being wrong with the currently installed build
- Something being wrong with the one I'm trying to install
That's why I posted in both places. Sorry if that is not the thing to do.
Thanks for your reply. I guess I'll have to do another reinstall then.

Wifi

I have no wifi, too (after trying a dirty install over an old CM13 that resulted in an error). Here's the issue in their bugtracker, I think, in case anyone else experiences this.
Got the same issue when trying to go back to CM13 now -___-

Seems strange that I've had no wifi issues. I've tried turning it on and off with no problems.
A few (maybe patronising) thoughts:
Did you guys check the md5 hash?
Which recovery did you use? I used TWRP 3.0.2.5
Were you previously on COS13.1.2? I was.
I downloaded fresh open-gapps for the install - ARM64, 7.1, nano.
I wiped system, dalvik, cache. Installed LOS14.1, su, gapps in that order.
The dirty boot left me with lots of force closures so I wiped data, dalvik and cache, completed the wizard after booting and all was fine.

I was on the latest CyanogenMod snapshot.
I wiped data, dalik and cache, then installed lineage, gapps and su. Restoring a nandroid backup of CM13 did bring the wifi back again.
I then wanted to restore my backup of lineage, because I already transferred most apps and settings and don’t care to much for the wifi (hoping it will be solved in not too far future), but TWRP failed to recover, getting stuck while restoring data, only restoring the system partition. Strangely, after this, the wifi worked, however I experienced many FCs. After wiping data again, the wifi was broken again, the MAC adress showing as 02:00:00:00:00:00.
Wiping system, I tried to reinstall lineage without any extras, but TWRP just got stuck again with no progress being made after detection of the partitions. Strangely, restoration of the lineage backup worked now, including data The original problem persists, of course.

I mentioned COS13.1.2 specifically because it flashes partitions other than system that may affect your situation. CM doesn't. If you've had COS13.1.2 installed previously then these other partitions should be up to date.
If you're having inconsistent results using TWRP3.0.3 it may be worth trying 3.0.2.5.

I have been working on the sister models also. I saw no one was building these anymore so here it is I hope it can be enjoyed by all. Spread the word. provide feedback so other fans of this ROM may obtain it and work out any bugs if there are any. I will update once or twice a week depending on time and demand. I'm compiling for three different variants. Hit the thanks button and Enjoy. Dirty flash the updates not the initial flash of this rom but the updates to it. Initial install = Factory reset, wipe data and cache, install rom zip, install gapps zip, install su zip, reboot system. As of 9-3-18 i will be switching to Ubuntu 18.04 Bionic Beaver, that being said i do not know if i will have to change anything or do anything different to keep pushing these updates out but i will most definitely try to keep them coming.

Wipe system, cache, and dalvik install rom zip install nougat Gapps and SuperSU all at the same time meaning do not reboot until you have flashed all three if it didn't work the first time try it again just make sure you wipe system, cache and dalvik and install the Gapps at the same time it sounds like it's booting up but conflicting with other elements otherwise it would be bootloop and not system isn't responding

Thank you for your rapid response! I will try that as soon as I get to my house and I'll let you know what happens

After doing what you said, it still says "process system isn't responding" I will try a few more times. Also, I'm flashing off nothing. There is no OS, no personal data, just TWRP. Does this have to be flashed on CM12 or something?

You need to Odin flash the latest stock firmware then root then flash recovery then flash the rom
This should help

I will do that. Your rom needs to be flashed over stock rom?

No this is lineage os 14.1 it's not mine I just build it because they have stopped doing it officially for this variant of the s3 but there's more to a phone than just the system and you have nothing but a recovery? There's bootloader modem, Efs etc. You wouldn't be able to even flash CM12. in TWRP are you going into advanced wipe or are you just swiping the slider?

What you said makes a lot of sense actually. Im used to just flashing back ups of other roms that I forgot how to flash fresh ones. I'm not used to this haha but I got it now. Stock rom 4.3 has been flashed via odin and the root method is currently on my screen.

What was your system status before flashing the rom? What software? I'm having trouble flashing it on my S3

Does it need wipe data and cash before flash or we can do dirty flash without any thing?(update from 13-4-2018 to this rooted update)

If it's an update then dirty flash it if you already had SuperSU installed you will need to reflash the SuperSU zip if you are installing for the first time you just need to install the SuperSU app
