I have a rooted LG Optimus L9 Android version 4.0.4. I deleted bloatware after I root my Optimus. I just tried OTA update. The phone showed red exclamation mark and rebooted but I still have the old 4.0.4 version. Is there a way to install deleted bloatware again so I can use the OTA update?
I know there are other ways to update but I don't feel like restoring all apps and data after the update. Please help.

I had the same issue and used the CWM method to upgrade my L9. Before that, I did a backup with CWM and after the upgrade, I restored the lost data from the backup, just choose advanced restore-data only. It worked for me but it may screw up the system by doing so.

Are you saying you're on 4.04 initial jb ota update, and you were offered a new update?

After i rooted my SGS3 with latest Jelly Bean firmware, i can't receive updates anymore, every time try to check updates i get "Your device has been modified. Software updates are not available" Can i fix this one some way without losing root, or i need to unroot my device?
As JB isn't available yet except for poland then you will need to go back to ICS, reset flash counter and unroot.... Basically you're taking it back to stock.... Then Kies will allow updates, but only to what is currently available for your rom version/country.....
So you could still end up restocking and not being able to upgrade to JB as "There are no updates for your current version"....

It is just some kind of disclaimer from Samsung, but if you flash an official rom you'll continue to receive official updates.
same i'm also like that after flash JB "Your device has been modified", so i just wipe all my data and reflashed, problem solved, the big problem for is after reflashed JB, stock music played cannot find any music on ext SDCARD

I have updated my SGS3 to official UK Jelly Bean OTA update, and after rooting it the software update service complains about the device being modified also. Not too bothered about it at the moment but will probably be a pain in the butt once new updates will be released (although knowing Samsung, it will be quite some time before the next one).

I updated to JellyBean using the OTA update file from Cache but through the 'ever root' method of mobile Odin. I also tried Triangle Away but received the same message before and after. I have now also used Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper v2.0.3 to temporarily unroot the device but it still says the same message from the update screen.
So much for being friendly to the modding community!
Here's how i fixed my S3

1. You need to unroot your phone.(you could find it in youtube)
2. then perform factory reset
Every bug in the rom fixed and software update works like charm....
cannot update

I have not done anything to my phone other than update it to 4.1.1. Now I get the message that it has been modified and cannot receive updates.
How can I fix this, as it was never rooted.
Thanks
Try this if ur device has a SD card.
1. Go to Settings
2. Storage
3. Unmount SD card
4. Restart your Device

why
AW: [Q] Your device has been modified. Software updates are not available?
If you want to root your phone, use Framaroot recommended.
When you open the app, there is a list: Root with Superuser; SuperSU and Unroot.
Root with SuperSU is recommended.
If you have a I9300 take the SAM-Exploit, if I9305 the FRODO-Exploit.
If it don't work, try the other Exploit
It won't change your FlashCounter!
And when you want to unroot your phone you have to go in SuperSU, Settings, scroll down and click Full Unroot.
If your device status is Modified anymore, reflash StockROM and wipe your data!

Possible solution for rooted stock ROMs
I had the same problem with my GT-I9505, update from XXUBMEA to the latest XXUBMGA. Previously I rooted XXUBMEA and I was getting the "Device has been modified message". TriangleAway saved me at the end, I enabled the "Allow tracker to run" option, rebooted and after that I succesfully updated the stock firmware via OTA. Unfortunately the phone is not rooted anymore even the "ota survival" option in Superuser didn't save it.
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.

Hi everyone. I'm not a TOTAL noob, but I am to this site. ANY help would be GREATLY appreciated and if its a developer, I'm MORE than happy to donate. Anyhow, I have the Metro PCS Galaxy S3. It's rooted, but Im still using stock rom. I am trying to install the new jelly bean update OTA.
Now the only other update ive gotten for this device, I had to install via KIES and it was a firmware upgrade, but NOW this time, KIES is not seeing that an update is available. Just says "firmware is up to date"
Ive done alot of research and I believe that the issue is that I removed bloatware after I rooted the phone and back then I did not understand the value of a backup so I cannot restore the bloatware that I removed.
Ive already tried temporarily unrooting and installing with voodoo unroot, Ive tried restoring it to factory settings/wiping data and ive tried odin and clockwork mod to install the update but it fails everytime.
I even downloaded the triangle blocker and reset my flash counter to 0.
Does anyone have any idea what I can do?
You should have an option in your settings to look for an update but if it says your firmware is up to date then maybe you should root your phone again and not worry about the ota it's very slow and pain for use....

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?

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
Have a Verizon Galaxy S$, 4.4.2, rooted with towelroot. Suddenly it wants to do an update from SCH-1545 to 1546. I already have SDM frozen, what else needs to be frozen?
Option B, unroot, unfreeze all bloat and let it update? Can I reroot?
Try freezing FWupdate too.
Fwupdate does not exist.
Just accidentally allowed the OTA for my VZ S4 4.4.2 that came up this morning. Tried to use towelroot to re-root, but towelroot now says "This device isn't currently supported". I'm assuming it's just a matter of waiting for a new version of towelroot to come out for this new update?
What does your version show after the update?
Hmmm, still shows Android version as 4.4.2. Baseband version is shown as I545VRUFNG6. Kernal version shows 3.4.0. I'm quite a newb when it comes to this so hopefully this was what you were looking for. Thanks in advance for the help!
Any further ideas for disabling this update? Fwupdate is not on my phone

Try this if you have SS installed, try to wipe your Dalvik Cache and Cache.
OK, found fwupgrade.apk. Dunno why Titanium didnt see it but searched and found. Renamed it to .bak. That SHOULD kill the update....
Well, so much for that theory. Upgrade ran anyway. Said successful but version info has not changed. Root is lost and towelroot says no support.
I just froze configupdater and went back to software update under settings and settings crashed.
I pushed the update back to 8am tomorrow, I'll get you know if my phone tries to update or if freezing configupdater worked.
Did you downgrade from NG6 to NC5 then root and go back to NG6.
Phone is very unstable after this "update", frequently reboots and locks up. Avoid if you can.
I have confirmed, freezing 'configupdater' does stop the update from getting pushed.
I will unfreeze it once I find it confirmed in this forum that the update has been fixed and root is available for it.
I FOUND THAT BAD BOY! I found the update software and deleted it. In Root Explorer under Cache there is a folder FOTA and I deleted its contents. The file was placed there last week around the time my phone started to pester me to update. I really hope that's it.

I froze configupdater, but my phone kept trying to update. Once I froze SDM as well, the update attempts stopped.
