Hi,
I was previously current with the stock firmware, but rooted. I have OTA Rootkeeper. SU was backed up and did a temp unroot before the update.
After installing the OTA 2012.11.07 Update, every app at startup threw "Unfortunately, ... was closed" errors. I could not even launch any apps without them closing. Subsequent reboots ran through the "Updating Applications" cycle, but kept the same error result, basically creating an error loop.
I was able to "fix" it by manually installing the firmware update (now running 10.4.4.20-20121026 without error), but have lost root. OTA rootkeeper has no listing to restore root. So 2 questions (1 is very obvious, at this point):
1. Did I lose/overwrite the rooted SU binary or can this be relocated/replaced somehow?
2. What the root options (if any) for the TF700T Android 4.1.1 version?
Any other suggestions?
Thanks!

There was another OTA update? my crappy tablet hasn't received any update since the original JB update. It says no update available. ASUS website doesn't show any new firmware update files.
I (painfully) solved my problem. I flashed back to Gingerbread, got root, then upgraded to the latest Jelly Bean. This time OTA rootkeeper did it's thing. No idea why it was so broken before. Unfortunately, it removed all my apps and settings so I'm busy restoring for the night

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.
US_epad-9.4.2.15-user to US_epad-9.4.2.21-user

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

My rooted SCH-i605 got an update a week or two ago, and whenever I try to update it, it restarts and says the update failed. I keep postponing it by the maximum it allows, 5 days. From reading what people have been saying here, the same update has bricked some people's phones.
Should I flash back the vanilla ROM, update, then re-root? Is it possible to root this new update? Also, if I can't root after the update, can I restore applications with saved data from Titanium Backup (or similar) without rooting?
I'd appreciate advice on what to do. Thank you.
Hello everyone,
I have read several forums regarding the new update and decided to attempt OTA with VooDoo's rootkeeper running (and backups made of course!)
I have dowloaded the update seveal times and everytime I get the error "verification signature failed"
Any suggestions to move past this?

Don't do it, you will lose root regardless of having Rootkeeper and you will not be able to re root until a workaround is found for the new update. The reason its failing is because you have a custom recovery. Which you will no longer be able to have if you accept the update. freeze sdm 1.0 using titanium backup to stop the ota process and feel lucky that the update failed.

As the title suggests. I need to ota update, I couldn't before cause I was rooted. I removed the root and it still gives me the system is modified message. Any ideas?
reflash your firmware..and verify that there's a newer one
I've got a rooted Nexus 9 (WiFi) with TWRP installed. A few days ago I got a notification to install an update. I was surprised, as I didn't think OTA updates would come through once TWRP/root was set up. I tried installing it, but it just gets stuck at the TWRP logo.
I'm guessing that you can't just install OTA updates, so I have two questions:
1. How can I install the update (without losing all my data)?
2. If I can't install the update, how do I get rid of the "System update downloaded" message that keeps showing up?
It's been a few years since I've been in to this kind of stuff, so forgive me if these are dumb question
Thanks!
If your using systemless supersu and have an unmodified/untouched system partition then Flashfire app, maybe able to apply the update.

Otherwise you will need to flash factory images (which can be done without wiping data) to update.
