After touching the system update, we get the official ics update downloaded to our device, where does it get stored?
For kernel#10 users is it possible that we replace the official update file with pre rooted ics and then flash the update?

The update is stored in the /cache/ota folder with a long name usually starting with signed

Hi,
I rooted my Asus Prime after the ICS update and I'm now being prompted for a new OTA update but it fails every time it tries to install.
I'm currently running Android 4.0.3; build #9.4.2.15-20120221. I can't figure out what version it's trying to update to.
Will I have to unroot in order to update? I tried the Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper and the temp. unroot but it still fails.

Had the same problem but screwed mine up slightly.... you need to reinstall .15.. IMPORTANT apply root keeper... (I didn't) then update to .21.... download .15 from the asus site... just remember to apply root keeper after it comes back up...now I have to wait with the rest of the people who forgot for a new exploit.....
I can't get it to manually roll back to US_epad-9.4.2.15. The system won't recognize that there's update files on the card.

If you do it properly, it will.
Unzip .15
Unzipped file will be another zip
Put that zip on the root of storage
Reboot

I've got a galaxy S2. Right now I've got rooted stock GB (latin version I think). Recently the update notification came up saying my ICS update was ready. I download it normally and install it normally but when the phone reboots, it boots right back into GB saying that the firmware has been updated. I suspect that this update won't push onto the phone because I'm rooted. Anyone have any ideas? If this is true, how do I unroot in order to allow the update to push onto the phone normally?

if you are rooted dont update OTA update to ics by downloading any rooted ics firmware or flash stock ics rom and re-root your phone
Using ODIN correct?

I have rooted HTC One, I noticed a new software update was released by AT&T, and I wondered if it I updated it, would my root be gone? I tried to update it and after downloading the update, my phone restarted and booted into TWRP recovery and I rebooted and there was no update installed. Are any rooted HTC One users experiencing the same problem? What should I do, should i just forget about the OTA updates?

Anytime you root the phone it changes the stock recovery so when the OTA tries to run it fails because the recovery needed to do it is the stock one. Just wait for someone to post a updated ota that works with twrp.
For the most part, updates will be baked into roms so you won't need to take the OTA

On top of stock recovery, you need to have all stock apps present on the phone. They can be frozen, but they must be there. The first thing any official OTA does it check the signatures of all .apks it expects to find on the device--if any are missing, the update will abort. I learned today that when you unlock your bootloader, several HTC-specific applications are automatically deleted from the phone and this will prevent the phone from accepting the OTA. You'll need to either A) replace those apks, or B) flash a stock NAND backup, flash stock recovery, do the update, then re-flash custom recovery and continue on from there.

I installed it and it worked great. I have a unlocked bootloader but I am not rooted.
AT&T update file name and location?
Same experience. If I knew the location and file downloaded through AT&T Software Update, perhaps I could install it through TWRP. Anyone know? Tried?

Please...a little advice
Many thanks for all your help.
One question:
I have an HTC One (ATT) - SW Ver 1.26.502.10, bootloader unlocked, rooted, bloatware erased.
If I flash CM 10.1 - does this include the latest OTA update.
Many thanks
Hallo every one.
I am an owner of the htc One. I've rooted this device and had an other rom flashen over it. It now runs with AOSP with Jelly bean 4.2. 2
This morning I got a notification that the system update was downloaded and ready for install. The update was around 128mb big.
I pressed on the install notification and my phone rebooted and then came up with the fastboot / safeboot menu. (don't know which one excactly But you guys know what I mean I hope)
And then it tried to install But it reported soms errors and failed to install.
Does anybody know where it stores this system update or where to find it on my phone?
And no, the notification was not an advertisment or something similair. It was one from htc.

in order to accept a OTA you have to be on stock recovery and your bootloader must be relocked IF YOU ARE S-OFF'd use revone to LOCK instead of RELOCK or you can even remove the tamper flag from your device. keep in mind accepting the update might make it to where you may have some rather irritating issues later on
updates are in the cache partition if im not mistaken
Thanx for your reply. I was asking this because I believen that there isn't a 4.3 update for the htc One yet.
I've searched the cache folder(s) But could not find the downloaded system update.

on tmobile, no there is not yet a 4.3 or even a 4.2 update for the HTC one yet. officially atleast.
Thanx for your answer. But I know that there is not yet an official update. That's why I asked it here. Because it got a notification that there is an update for my phone. 4.3 and I Just wanna know if it's still on my phone somewhere. So that I can share it with everyone.
Can you be more specific about which ROM you are running? If you are running an AOSP 4.2.2 ROM you should not be receiving update notifications from HTC.
same thing here
HTC One Google Edition Rooted unlocked with TWRP 2.6 , not S-Off'd (Hboot 1.54) , received System Update 4.3 update to reboot and install.
Clicked on it
reboot it to recovery, and i manually rebooted to system.
No update was installed.
any thoughts?

The GPE model did just recently get a 4.3 update but you have to be "stock" unrooted for it to work
I have added a screenshot with this post. I received another notification that there is an update for my phone.
And which AOSP rom I run? I actually would not know it. Where to find these specs?

hi friends
I've rooted my device - now it says there is a system update - since I cannot update OTA version, how can I stop asking for system update?
nobody knows how should I get rid of system update message?
Make a nand back up of rom...if wanting to keep current rom...if not on stock rom reflash stock nand back up and recovery,if s-on...relock bootloader accept ota...not that big of deal actually...until they push the update to device and you cant not accept it...has been known to happen...lol
