Hey guys I woke up this morning with a update from at&t so i tried to install it, the phone reboots and then says Signature verification failed installation aborted. My Galaxy S 3 is currently rooted. Anyone else have this problem?
It's much easier to flash a rooted stock ROM containing the OTA. There is at least one in the development section with more to follow.
THE HARDER (BUT NOT HARD) WAY:If installing the latest OTA update, you need the latest version of cwm for AT&T phones for the OTA to install. It's in the development section. You may also need voodoo OTA root keeper app to backup your root. The OTA WILL break your root.

Sweet thanks for the help, I flashed back to stock rom, got the update and rooted back to what I had before. It only took 10 mins to do

Hi everyone. So i followed the s-off guide the other day and completed it. Today, I got a notification that system update 1.13.651.7 was available. Updating didn't work though. After running the update, the phone rebooted and the black/green team win recovery screen was brought up saying the update was aborted. I then tried to apply the update manually through the Install from zip option but the thing fails at the stage where it is verifying the signature.
My question is should and be trying to apply these updates and if so, how do I do it?

If you want the update, flash a rom from the dev forum that has it in it otherwise you will lose root.
Stock rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1192670&highlight=stock
or flash a custom rom see my sig for my suggestions. For future updates, it is generally recommended you wait for a developer to post it rooted in the forum.

if you're ever going to apply an official update .zip, whether it be an OTA or an RUU, load the stock recovery first.
even though teamwin recovery project and clockworkmod are based on the public AOSP recovery code, the stock recovery is not open sourced and manufacturers could very well modify AOSP when creating their stock recovery.
i haven't really seen anybody do a lot of research on the topic, i.e. decompiling a stock recovery and matching back to AOSP.
it is best practice to let the stock recovery handle the stock OTA or RUU .zip files. it is also considered best practice, if you're not experienced/developer, to not load an OTA/RUU unless you are comfortable with the possibility of permanently losing root. if you're not comfortable permanently losing root, then use a custom ROM which has incorporated the updated software, as suggested above and can be found in the CDMA Dev section or GSM Dev section of this forum.
hope that gives a bit of background and helps clarify!
Thanks guys. That's really helpful.

I have EC05 installed on my Samsung Epic 4G from Odin, and ClockworkMod Recovery v2.5.1.0. As you may know, Sprint recently released EI22 OTA, would it be safe for me to let the phone upgrade itself OTA? It keeps prompting me to update, and I would like to update using this method as long as it is safe. If it is not safe, can someone please provide me with a link to article to do it manually that would be safe for my phone? I'm always paranoid when upgrading or installing different ROMs.
This is the article I followed to get get my phone in it's current state:
forums.androidcentral.com/epic-4g-rooting-roms-hacks/71389-odin-ec05-froyo-ec05-prerooted-cwm-v2-5-1-0-rfs-odexed.html
bumped.
I'm in the same situation as druciferre. I'd like step-by-step instructions on how to safely update from a rooted EC05 to rooted EI22. Do we need to unroot with Odin first, then do official update to EI22, then root again?
I've found these excellent instructions from qbking77:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1337453
but I am not sure whether to follow them starting on EC05. Any advice/links welcome. Thanks.
I know there must be mentioning somewhere, but I couldn't find it...
Please forgive me for asking the obvious.
I have Razr Maxx with stock rom and have only rooted.
Should I unroot the device before receiving the ICS OTA?
Many thanks for your kind help!
If you just installed root there's no problem but if you removed any system app then you'll need to flash stock 2.3.6

If you installed bootstrap, you'll also need to remove that. You can't upgrade with bootstrap installed or root. I spent about 10 hours today figuring out that CWM was preventing the OTA from installing properly.
Thanks pedrotorresfilho and brgr,
Thanks!
I haven't deleted any system app nor have installed CWM.
All I have done is install Titanium back up, Wi-Fi Tether and Voodoo OTA RootKeeper.
I guess I am okay.
I will look at these SU required apps if anything goes wrong...
BTW, I am still waiting for the OTA...
Many thanks!!
hi
With 651.167.20.XT910.Retail.en.EU can get ICS directly from Motorola.Or I have to go to stock
thanks
I woke up this morning with an OTA update on my P769 USA version. I have not ever rooted my phone yet and have been waiting it out for some roms to come out and clockwork mod. My phone has the 10e firmware that can be hacked to unlock the boot loader. My problem is my phone downloaded a new OTA update, 10g. If I reboot my phone its going to install the update and I'll be screwed out of being able to root the phone when I want to (locked boot loader). How do I keep this update from trying to apply itself on reboot? I don't have root access. Can it be rooted w/o having to reboot to thwart this update? Can I delete the update file? I'm really trying to avoid having to reboot the phone now. (The system update apply/reboot pop up is driving me nuts!) I never agreed for this update to download! WTF?!

The update will not automatically install when you reboot. Root your device using the many instructions in this sub-forum. Use the search.
No it won't but u can root ur phone. All L9 models can be rooted
Or you can just update himself(optimus L9) and flash it back to the rootable roms using KDZ offline flash
Or start phone in CWM mode, take nandroid backup and reflash V10E, root it and restore V10G nandroid backup.
Dont know if this work perfectly or not, but just suggesting.
PS: I just wonder what Update it would be after V10G? Is it JB for P769?
Or you can let two month old topics stay dead.

Two potentially useful posts in an old thread goes a much longer way than some snappy quip posted almost solely for thanks.
Oh, look. I'm being about as useful as you right now. Time to go outside.
Thread Closed, OP if you wish to reopen, just send a PM. Thank You.
Hi everyone, I have a quick question. I am currently running Stock ICS rooted with Safestrap 3.11 installed. Can I perform the OTA JB 98.72.16.en. update? I know I should use OTA Rootkeeper to temp unroot before attempting to upgrade. Then restore root after upgrading via the saved backup. Yesterday I tried to install the update but it failed at some point during the process. I did not have Safestrap installed at that time. Not sure if there was something wrong with the downloaded update or not, but I don't want to try again until I know it will work and not screw anything up. Has anyone else updated to JB using OTA from a rooted Stock ICS ROM? If someone can point me to a detailed procedure that would be great. Thanks
I actually just did the same thing. Just beware, the kernel upgrades with the OTA as well, so if you're running any custom ROMS, they may not work with the new update. In order to perform the OTA update, you should unfreeze any bloatware apps you may have frozen with TItanium Backup. I also used Voodoo's OTA Rootkeeper and maintained root without a problem, although I've heard mixed things. I left Safestrap installed when I upgraded, but I don't know if that was a good idea or not.
I actually had problems upgrading with safe strap installed. Gave me a failed update 3 times until I finally un installed. Flashed fine after that. Safe strap does indeed work after for me. That is with the official cm10.1 nightly rom. So far so good. Still dual booting on a phone with a locked bootloader. Ha...

So uninstalling Safestrap might be the best bet. I am running a rooted Stock OTA ICS ROM, nothing special, just what came from Verizon. I actually started with Gingerbread 2.3.6, rooted that, and when ICS came along, I did the OTA after temp unrooting with OTA Rootkeeper. Been running that since. Now I just recently got the message on my Razr that JB is available. I tried updating but it failed. I think the download might have been corrupted or something. I redownloaded the update earlier today but have put off updating until posting on here. So i guess I will uninstall SS and then try the update again and hope I keep root. Then reinstall SS after that. If anyone else has any input or ideas please feel free to post your methods and results.
Anyone else have any experience performing the OTA update to JB or installing Stock Verizon JB in some other fashion. I would like to hear about it as I am still a little unsure about performing this update and don't want to lose root priviledges. Thanks.
Well I just tried to perform the OTA JB update again and it failed again. I temp unrooted using Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper, set SuperUser to OTA Survival, rebooted my phone, and then attempted the update to JB and about 1 minute into the process it craps out and gives the triangle exclaimation point and then reboots 30 seconds later. Nothing seems broken, its right back to my Stock verizon ICS 6.16.211.XT912. Of course I am rooted but as i stated in a previous post, I have been rooted since GB 2.3.6 and was able to perform the update to ICS using the same method I tried here for JB. What gives? Is anyone else having these issues. I have seen on other forums something called the DroidRazrUtility which is supposed to update you to JB and provide root if needed. Is this the only option for me? Also if I perform a factory reset will that screw my phone up since it is rooted? Will I lose root if I factory reset it? Will a factory reset then allow me to update to JB with ease? Lots of questions but I want to be sure of what I am doing. Any help is much appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Tried two more times and the update failed each time. I think I am going to try a factory reset and see what that does. As a note I did have CWM Touch 5.8.4.5 installed with ROM Manager but uninstalled both and also had Safestrap after that and I made sure I removed that too. Unless I didn't get it all removed. Is there a procedure to ensure they have been fully removed?
For those of you who are having touble getting JB to load on your XT912 Razr, use the following script by Developer mattlgroff. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2192467
Follow the instructions as he says to and it works perfect, to include rerooting using the Razr Blade script. Be sure to not only thank him but donate if you can. Developers like this are a life saver to all us that rely on them to provide us the freedom we deserve on our mobile devices. I spent 2 days doing everything I knew how to do to get JB installed and all to no avail. Used mattlgroff's Droid Razr Utility and life is once again good.
I have a rooted Razr Maxx and can not get the update to work. It has failed 3 times now. Any suggestions?
