I downloaded the OTA Update file but when I press it says:
Low battery. The devices battery should be more than 15%
But I have 87%, I also tried reboot. I don't have cwm to clear battery stats
So what should I do

You should install the update via the PC. It's better that way. Installs done via the PC typically have less issues than OTAs plus, you don't have to worry about the stupid OTA system saying your phone isn't ready.
Also tried clearing cache of app

I am on limited net connection. I downloaded the 120mb file. Any way to flash it now. I got the update.zip. Will it work by applying from default recovery

I am gonna try update via recovery
No luck. My recovery uses some signature check
THANKS IS NOT SOMETHING TO SAVE, IT'S SOMETHING TO GIVE OUT
If you have the correct update.zip and the stock recovery, then it should work. All recoveries should have a signature check to prevent people from trying to install the wrong things. What phone do you have?

For future reference, you can download it and then choose not to install it. It can be downloaded over Wi-Fi, or uses background mobile data but doesn't display the icon.
EDIT:
It took 11 minutes to install, and now I'm Android 4.0.4 and Sense 4.1. I can't find how to change the Recent Apps button to a Menu button. I'm slightly upset about that.
Now on to attempting root!

Is that the "Defer" option, or "Yes", then choose to not install?
Once it downloads I would expect a constant nag to install until you do.

First "OK" to download update, then "Defer" to not install it once it has downloaded. And yeah, you'll probably get constant nags.

I believe the Menu button change is the 3-button Mod that you can install once rooted.
Good luck on the root attempt! Please let us know how it goes.
so can we not use this exploit unless we have downloaded the newest update?

Unlike the sense 4.1 updates for one series and EVO LTE, ours does not bring the key remappingoption to settings...those updates changed display & gestures to display, gestures, & buttons...and the option is in there for those users
Got the update but unlike others, mine just downloaded and installed without asking me permission! I was in my car and needed to make a call too! Argh. But at least it seems to have installed OK.
Any idea if this update is available for download on VZW's website somewhere? I am having trouble with the OTA update.
I got the update too...no notice, it just d/l'd and installed without options. What's the new icon in the status bar (left of the wifi)?
Caught mine just before it installed the update and yanked my battery. Every time I boot it back up it tries to install the update. Any ideas on how to get it to clear the update? Don't want to update til we know more about what this might mean for the possibility of S-OFF or root with the current h-boot.
it downloaded mine and i defered it, but where does it download to, i can't find it.

I installed TWRP on my TrueSmart this morning via adb while booted to Android. Rename the file that you download to twrp.img and then do the following:
adb push twrp.img /sdcard/twrp.img
adb shell dd if=/sdcard/twrp.img of=/dev/recovery
Done.

Sorry, I have a fairly high standard of roms at this point.
Dont want to go too far off topic, but I've had some issues with bluetooth (pairs, doesn't stay connected, thus making the companion app useless), battery life, etc.
I may have to run tasker scripts to emulate some of the things I want it to do with notifications and turning the screen on. Finally, if I install a new launcher, it'd be wonderful if it didn't cover up the notifications bar.

I don't have yours installed. Mine is just running completely stock firmware right now.
And it sucks that you're quitting. Your build looked to be the one thing that might make the OS on this thing worth using.

One final question here: I have been using apps like goomanager to reboot into recovery, but how can you enter TWRP straight from turning the watch on.
Is there a key combo that needs to be held when turning the watch on to get right into TWRP? I tried holding down the bottom right key and that did not work.
Hold both keys for 10 seconds then toggle to recovery

Ok, I thought so. Unfortunately, I'm getting errors. The OTA just fails on its own, and flashing this zip in recovery does too. It says there is a data error in the file or that there is a problem with buil.prop.
I've tried the latest CWM touch, CWM standard, Recovery_Cingular_US_3.17.502.3.img, andrecovery_m7_att_stock_1.26.502.12.img. I've tried clearing cache and dalvik first, mounting system, and even toggling signature verifcation.
Was going to try temp un-rooting (via SuperSU) next. Hoping I don't have to flash the RUU and start from zero. Any other suggestions?
I'm s-off, htc-dev unlocked.
Added screenshots of install after new download of zip and temp un-rooted, install after mounting system, install after toggling verification. build.prop is definitely in system.

After you successfully rollback did you do your factory reset ?supposed to before reroot and all. At least go and wipe data for any app that fc.
Yes, I have factory reseted and still no luck. It is rooted through the toolkit with ota off.
Xposed?HDXposed? Tried reverse ota blocker? Any block or firewall at router ?which base Are you on?
I tried turning on the OTA with the .94 toolkit and then launching an episode. Still same error "We're experiencing a problem playing this video. If this problem continues, p lease contact Amazon Customer Service."There are no blocks on my router and my brother's HDX video works fine on the same network as me. (However he as not tried rolling back nor rooting. Any ideas? Should I try updating to the most recent version, I hear it can still be rooted.
Thanks in advance,

No no this is fairly simple , you never told me which system you're on so just go grab the bin file that matches up with your system I believe you said you roll back to the 13.3.1.0 ? Simply grab that Bin file again put it on your device open file explorer and rename it .zip boot into safestrap boot into stock system wipe cache and a basic factory reset . Flash your renamed Bin file /a flashable version of superuser ie root. Boot , skip set up install xposed framework the HDXposed module initialize module reboot . Set your tablet up .Bam hope that helps.

Did you have to unroot before updating ?
Never-mind had to unroot it would not work otherwise. But still wont finish - maybe because i may still have a different then stock kernel even though I unrooted.

You need to unroot, and also make sure you have the reserve.img partition restored. If you unlocked the bootloader after the .27 OTA, reserve.img is deleted during unlock.

Will this cause a wipe ? If so, will wait for a bigger update.
I'm not currently rooted, so my results won't matter too much atm

No. All data will be intact. You are not formatting or overwriting userdata.

All I have to do is to not screw up, and after having been on Samsungs since S3, where most things were straight forward and relatively easy, there is a good chance I will.
Will be doing more reading - wish there was a guide like the unlocking and rooting of the US TMo guide thread.

It's very simple, and the script does most of the work. All you have to do is hit Enter a few times, and let it run.
Back up your data to be safe, and worse case scenario, there is an MSM tool available that will restore the phone to stock.

Is there a better backup than Google Drive for data - was so easy with TWRP ?

Use Google Drive backup, but you should first temporarily turn off your password/fingerprint authentication. That's the only way to ensure a complete backup is run. That's been an issue with Google device backup as a whole since 9.0 began enforcing encryption on backups.
You can turn it back on as soon as the backup completes.
One thing I've noticed already on this update is idle battery drain with 5G enabled (connected or not) has improved dramatically.
I would suggest that anyone who re-roots after makes sure to use a freshly patched kernel pulled after the update.
