[Q] updating to 4.2.2. - AT&T LG Optimus G

i feel like i remember seeing some word of having to update to the 4.2.2. OTA update in order to flash 4.2.2. roms onto my optimus. right now im running SlickJB (4.1), and want to update, but i dont have a lot of free time to fix my phone if i brick it. can anyone point me towards how to update to the latest OTA so flash some newer roms?

You would want to either use LGNPST to flash stock 4.1 or Tinybin
I used Tinybin to update (I had to use the altbin to get my phone to boot)

OTA failed due to beats audio

Hello everyone.
This is my first post and unfortunately, I need help!!
My wife has a droid razr that got the early xmas jellybean update. Phone has been rooted as well. My wife decided to download all sorts of root apps and installed the beats audio app without backing her stuff up. Well now the official jellybean OTA is being pushed to her phone, and she cannot update. I have tried via OTA, and sideloading the file that I pulled.
This is the error she gets:
assert failed: apply_patch_check("/system/lib/libwebrtc_audio_preprocessing.so", install aborted
Is there a way and can download the original files that were supposed to be there before beats changed it??
Thanks for your help!
You can flash back with rsd lite the complete firmware, that should restore it..

I'm not gonna sit here and pretend like I know how to do that, sooo....whaaa? lol
Where do I need to download the firmware? Do I have to download one for the xmas jelly bean release?
Also, I tried downloading just the audio_.......... files off 4shared and replaced the one in my file system. That did not seem to do the trick. Do I have to have a specific copy of it??
Thanks

Look at the stickies in your phone thread and there should be a thread about reverting to stock. Just follow the guide there and you should be fine.
If it doesn't revert to the latest version then you will receive an ota notification. If you want to make sure you are on the latest firmware just go to setting-software update.

You will need a PC. If you were rooted you could download the flashable zip and have it. But again you need a PC to root!
Sorry!
So you don't know anyone with a PC?
You don't need to be rooted to flash the zip version -- you just need CWR or TWRP.
So, have you installed a recovery?
I havn't installed recovery yet, im new to this, but do I download a recovery and then once I do this, what would I use to flash? Ty

From a pure stock phone:
Plan A: Download Kies software (google for it). Install Kies software, connect phone to pc, and let the phone upgrade to 4.1.2. Phone will be pure stock JB.
Plan B: Download JB update file from development section. Download Odin3 software - find it by googling "odin3 1.85". Then run odin software, reboot phone in download mode, connect to pc, and install JB update. Phone will be pure stock JB.
Plan C: Wait a few days and you will get a software update notification. Accept the terms, and phone will update itself to pure stock JB.
If you don't have access to a pc you will have to wait a few. The last ICS update took only four days to hit the phones after the release on the world wide interweb.
I updated but its really not different than 4.0.4 ICS . . . No new features but lots of extra bloatware from at&t.

Will I get the update if my phone has no service? And do I need to be rooted in order to use odin? Thanks to all that helped I will wait until the update is released on my phone since I don't have a PC

Of course you need signal for your phone to know it has an update...
No you do not need root to use Odin. In fact, you use Odin TO root.
can I get the update over WI-Fi connection is what I meant sorry.

It is highly doubtful that this update will be released as an OTA. Better start looking for a PC or go to a friends house.
Why not, Amigo? And do you think that will leave out Canadian phones too?
Almost 800MBs is quite high for an OTA update especially since this is a totally new OS with different partitioning. More likely it will be a Kies update only. Should be no difference for Canadian versions once released. Time will tell and this is only my educated guess by experience. I know I have read that it can be received OTA but nobody that I have seen has reported it yet.
Probably right. But at&t could break the update into two parts. They did that on a big windows phone update a few years ago. Just a speculation.
I know at least telus made the ics update ota..
It's doable, not even that outlandish really, cause Going from ics to jb would be pretty much the same as gingerbread to ics...
oem roms of all 3 android versions have been relatively the same size and partitioning can be done on device within the update script.
It being possible and them doing it are different arguments though lol

[Q] Cannot upgrade to 4.1.2

Hi there, after receiving a new RAZR since my last one broke, I decided that I only wanted to root it and install cyanogen mod onto it. Fast forward 5 months and now I've decided I want to install the new MIUI v5 but in order to do that I need to upgrade from 4.0.4 to 4.1.2. I downloaded the OTA update but after it attempts to install, it reboots and says update failed. Just some background info I have a GSM RAZR rooted and have safe strap on. Any ideas on how to make it not fail?

Thats probably because you removed some system apps,you need to flash ics again through rsdlite and then update to jb.

I don't think I removed any system apps though, I haven't uninstalled or disabled any apps that it came with.
You don't even need to upgrade. You can use this tool to install and boot MIUI without upgrading: http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/t...-between-jellybean-kernels-with-ease/?hl=dual

Best Method to get 4.3 update

I have been seeing a lot of folks talking about just going back to complete stock to install the update.
Is that the best option? Are we able to root 4.3 yet?
Do you need to reset S-off on the phone or what? I have seen a few different things out there today talking about this. My phone downloaded the update and keeps asking me to install ever so often but of course won't as I don't have the stock recovery console.
All help and info is appreciated!
I'm using Avatar ROM and my phone isn't even prompting me with the update. I'm really happy with my phone now so I'll give it a few days and wait for feedback on it.

I have just been using stock rooted as I have needed to keep my wifi calling.
I am used to Samsung's and Moto's and this is my first HTC I have worked with so the process of doing everything is a bit different.
Is there a way I can just flash stock recovery back and then install the update and be good to go?

You can leave s-off but you need to go back to stock Rom and recovery to receive ota. I have a link posted a link in the ota is coming thread that will help you return to stock. If you updated firmware you just need to use a usb otg and a usb mouse cause touchscreen won't work

If you take the official OTA you will definitely get a locked bootloader, and lose root. Root may be possible down the road but there are no guarantees. If you want to ensure root and an unlocked bootloader you need to follow the directions in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2578458
Is there going to be a zip I can flash in twrp to up date with out having to be on a rom just on the 4.3.1 I don't have access to a computer and never used odin some help would be nice this my first Samsung all I my other phones were moto and we're different doing the updates

My question is I think I want to jump to 4.3, but I'm not sure how. I am stock rooted with locked bootloader. I'm still on 4.1.1 with VRALJB. I was always satisfied with the stock rom so never saw the point in unlocking the bootloader. What is the easiest way for me to update since I'm really not interested in root access anymore?
My question is why would you want to go the VZW 4.3 OTA? As previously mentioned, you'll lose root access, end up with a locked bootloader,and likely get a bunch of bloatware. There's plenty of 4.3 custom ROMs out there that will do much more for your device.
I dont want that. I'm new to the note 2. I've been on moto phones with locked bootloaders. So I've not had to worry bout locking down my bootloader until now. Ive rooted my note 2 and installed roms on it. Im just trying to find a update that I can use with out installing a rom in order to get to 4.3 1.
I've never used odin and don't have access to a computer right now. In starting to think that i can't get to 4.3.1 with out a computer. Was just hoping I could use twrp to flash a mod version of the update to get there

So far I have not seen any reference to a recovery flashable firmware file...odin only. That said, with a computer, odin is really easy to use so when you get to a PC you can do it in about 3 minutes.
So can I just do the mod update and not have to install the rom or it a package deal ? Just asking cuz with the razor all I had to do was the update .
