I'm using my Atrix in Hong Kong, and got an update notification by AT&T, I have root, but if this update can sideload apps, I'll update.
But my only concern is does it erase your data and apps?
Cheers
Sorted, thanks!
It does not delete anything. It will remove root access unless you follow steps to rename su as described in another thread on this forum.
BTW, i don't believe the update has anything to do with sideloading. It contains minor bug fixes.

Software update was set to automatically look for updates, and yesterday (for the first time ever) notified me of an OTA update being available for my X10. It's the 8.4MB update I have read about, which essentially just re-installs 2.1 and makes rooting more difficult.
I don't want to install it, and I have since disabled software update checking, but I can't get rid of the notification icon advising me about the update. Does anyone know how?
you can't :S What you can do however is do an ota update, which will attempt to install, and then fail. That is what happened for me and everyone else on here that tried doing an ota anyway.
Try to delete "dmclient.apk" in system/app using root explorer and reboot system.
Here's how I removed the notification on my phone:
+ mv /system/app/FotaClient.apk /sdcard/
+ mv /system/app/SyncmlDS.apk /sdcard/
It may work for you too.
Hi,
I have the BCOKAS prime model, a WW model, purchased from Australia.
Currently at Thailand and have been for the past 2 Weeks and I'm struggling to update to the OTA which was released a week+ ago!
Currently on the .11 version.
When I update, this is what happens....
Any kind of tips or help would be great.
Cheers
let me know if you ever find an answer to this problem

Are you experiencing the same issue too?
yes anytime i try to update or any method of installing cwm gives me the same picture although i am on .13
Search works really well when you have issues
I have to say If I had a dollar for every time I see update issues like these I would be RICH!!!!! Use the XDA search feature. Its a new technology that allows you to pull data from many other users that have had these type of issues.
OK RANT OVER.
Here is cause #1 (maybe not for all of you) but for 90% of the users that have seen this issue this will happen when you root your device and change any system files, uninstall asus apps and so forth.
Cause #2: You unlocked your bootloader
To Resolve Cause #1: Restore you system files and apps that were changed or removed.
1. For users that backed them up just restore them
2. For users that deleted its a little more difficult:
- Goto Asus's website and download the same version upgrade file that you are running.
- Put the file on your micro SD card (unzipped of course)
- Reboot your device
- Update (if on the root of your SD card correctly) will be detected.
- Let it run and reboot.
- Once done you will be restored and can take further OTA updates.
To Resolve Cause #2: Wait for developers to create roms with the current update.
I recently just got a Neo V from a network provider without a plan. When I installed PC companion and plug it in, it prompts for a firmware update and I did. After that, the rubbish apps of the provider still remains.
Recently I unlocked bootloader (SETool?), fastboot into CWM, and adb pushed Superuser.apk and su (by myself), and it is rooted.
So with these two events, a question comes in my mind: How does official firmware update work? Does it 1) flash the system partition, 2) replace files only, or 3) by other methods?
I was thinking that if it was 1, those rubbish apps should have been removed and if I update again it would be unrooted. But if it was 2, wouldn't it be either more difficult to update or less useful?
It flashes the firmware to the system partition, but they check which firmware you currently have, and download the same firmware version with the same bloatware.
You can remove the bloatware with rom toolbox it's the easiest way
For me, it totally replaces system partition, but leaves untouched user partition. My phone was be rooted too, some bloatware removed and some programs moved to ROM. After update, blootware was be restored and programs, moved to ROM, deleted!
Well I understand apps under data is preserved and they can be uninstalled using default Settings UI.
So rom update is region-specific?
These apps (bloatwares):
$ ls /system/app/*_
/system/app/com.game.crazyfarm.apk_
/system/app/com.kaixin001.activity.apk_
/system/app/com.kobobooks.android.apk_
/system/app/com.mas.apk_
/system/app/com.skysoft.kkbox.android.apk_
/system/app/com.sonyericsson.androidapp.lunarcalendar.apk_
/system/app/skyphoto.hk.shotnprint.apk_
I added an underscore to prevent them from being displayed, so they actually exists in firmware update?
Hi,
I wanted to update my phone to the new 45.4.13(?) update but it keeps giving me errors since I uninstalled some of the stock apps that were useless (for example, AdService.apk). Is there a way to either mount a partition that has the factory setting stuff, or modify the update to not check the hashes of the stock apps I don't have, and if I can do the latter, would that break the update/my phone?
Also I want to hear if anyone has updated their thing to 2.3.5 after superuser released their ota survival, and did that work?

Has anyone been able to successfully disable the system update notification on the watch for the 5.0.2 update yet? If so, would you mind sharing your technique and what is required (root, adb, etc...) I've not yet rooted but unlocked my bootloader and have installed Arter97's 2.1 Kernel. I toyed around with the idea of trying to rename or delete the update.zip in the /cache partition, but I apparently have insufficient permissions via adb to that partition, probably due to not rooting. If I simply deleted the update.zip, I expect that it will simply download again and I'll have this same issue again right? Thanks all.
Nobody has figured this out? I just don't to update; seems like more problems that I don't want.
