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 have a D2G. I rooted it.
But it now wants to do a 2.4.3 update. of course the update fails when it reboots
So my question is, could i apply the update using the bootstrap. has anyone tried doing this, would it brick my phone if i tried.

You probably could if you remember to wipe data and cache, and you should probably get the Team Black Hat app and download the SBF/driver/RSD Lite files just in case.
Edit: Oh, the update file. If it's failing to install, you should probably just try the full install. I'm not sure why it wouldn't go through unless you're on stock, in which case, you HAVE to use full install.
I think he is talking about the official Verizon update. Not FRM...
When you rooted did you stop or remove any of the Blur apps? That will cause the update to fail. All of the Blurr must be there for the update to work.
If you used Z4Root to root your device, try to unroot the device with zroot and then try the update again.
You may have to re-install Zroot after it is completed to re-root the phone. But I did the update before I rooted almost the day I got the phone so I had not really done enough to notice if it wipes the device and data. My guess would be no!
Since I did this from the stock rom I did not bother to look but if the file is a zip file then chances are likely you can run it from the clockwork recovery.
But best bet is to unroot and then try it again before you go that route.
I would however get RSDLite and the stock SBF to have handy in case you run into problems.
You cannot apply the OTA update (I assume you are talking about 2.4.330 Verizon official OTA update) from the custom recovery. It must be instaled via stock recovery. But due to the way update is made (patch based) it will fail if there are alternations (missing files) in any of the system areas. You must restore all changes you made in /system/app (assuming you froze/delete some stock apps), if you are rooted it is ok, update will not bother (extra files in system do not break the checksum - update only checks original files. But if there is even a single file missing (deleted/renamed) in system area, update will fail to install. If you can't figure it out (what is missing) and update keeps failing, simply flash full SBF to return to stock, apply the OTA update then reroot and freeze/remove all apps that you don't want in system area.
Hi all,
My AT&T Atrix is running 4.5.91. I unrooted it to update to 4.5.141 OTA (I understood it was risky to do an OTA update while rooted).
After I finished downloading the update, I started installing but during installation, the package icon changed to a warning icon (with no error message) and the phone rebooted on 4.5.91 with a message saying the update failed
I think the package may have been corrupted in the download as it was interrupted. Although, I did try this 3 times (redownloading each time)
Any tips?
Thanks
You must have frozen and/or deleted some Blur apps as well as being rooted. Unless you have all the stock files from the firmware you are updating from, the install will fail.
I have unrooted the phone
However, I did use the "integrate system apps updates into ROM" option on TB.
I did not freeze anything
Will this work:

If not, what must I do?
Edit: Oh, and I also have AdFree installed and enabled. Should I revert?

The sd card method will fail for you as well. Undo everything that required root access, including adfree...not sure if it will restore the modified files back to stock though, never used that app.
Exactly what happened to me. Successfully updated using Motorola Software Update
Hi
You have succeeded?
I am stuck for months trying to do this update...
It's absolutely frustrating...
I actually stopped trying. I got a RAZR a few weeks after I started this thread...
I might unlock the BL and install some ROMs to play with the Atrix but basically I don't use it anymore...
Anyway, I think the problem I was having was because I integrated updates into the ROM and I don't think it can be undone
Bootloader Unlocked?
If your bootloader is unlocked the update will most likely not work. Regardless, the link below has some useful information.

I did an OTA upgrade to LG8 and Rooted with CF-Root6.4 and now every time I reboot it shows the "Android is upgrading" message, so anyone know how to fix this without reflashing Rom because I won't be home until next week.
Try to remove the synchronization with samsung account , if there is still a notification, you have to do a wipe date , factory reset ....
unable to update after root
why did i can run the OTA after root? is it normal? the clockwork recovery said the the signature was not recognized.
Fundamental element in order to be able to complete the update process of the Galaxy is to have a firmware entirely original.
If you have on your phone a test version, root permissions enabled or a modified kernel installed (e.s. , CF-Root) will be unable to update.

I was Rooted when I got the OTA update and apart from this problem which isn't really a problem it all went through fine, so guess I'll just wait and use Odin to see if it fixes.
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
This is my first time trying to root a phone so sorry for noob question
I have build version 34.0.A.1.264 and it says the software it is up to date but I know it's not, Sony website says 34.0.A.2.xxx is available.
So should I try to update my phone or will the .img in the Xperia X root thread work even though it says it is for 34.0.A.1.277 devices ?
Also, will I be able to update OTA without losing root ?
Thank you !
Most OTA updates no longer work with root because they now work on a per-block (instead of per-file) basis, and will not run if any file on any updated partition was changed. You need to unroot and restore the system partition to the exact state it was before rooting, then install the OTA, then reroot. It might be easier to just flash a ROM with the OTA integrated.
