Hi!
I'm currently running V10e-EUR-XX (twrp recovery, rooted), and got offered an OTA yesterday. Of course it won't install
a) Is there a twrp-flashable version of that update available somewhere?
b) Where is the update stored locally (it was quite big, 329 MB if I remember correctly)?
c) and what does this update to?
For installing this if there is not flashable zip.

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.
Anyone have the latest OTA that i can use to flash back to stock? Right now I'm rooted but don't care whether it stays rooted or not. I've already switched phones so my tb probably won't pull in the latest ota if i flash an older ota to let it update itself.
Thanks
You can grab a rooted copy IN MY THREAD HERE.
I'm sorry if this has been asked before, as I'm sure it has, but I can't find what I'm looking for.
My wife's DNA is on 2.07.605.1 710RD according to the about menu, it is rooted and s-off, with TWRP installed. She keeps getting an update notification but when we try to accept, it downloads, reboots to TWRP, shows a couple lines of script and goes to the TWRP home screen. No update occurs.
Is there a way to get the update to take or a ROM that is straight from the latest ota I can flash for her?
I would really like to avoid having to unroot or do a bunch of adb work, but will if I have to.
I'm hoping someone can post a link to a flashable zip for me that will make this easy?:fingers-crossed:
The update fails to install because you don't have the stock recovery.
Here is a stock, rooted, deodexed & odexed versions of the new ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2560010
Flash in twrp.
I got a notification today that the 5.1 update is available for GPe phones via the System Update tool in settings. I have converted the AT&T phone to GPe, but just wondering if there are any gotchas anyone can think of? Scared to take the plunge.
As long as you haven't made any changes to system files, you should be fine. Also, you can't be rooted. You must be 100% stock to apply the OTA update. There is an RUU available (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2708589) if something goes wrong.
Uh oh - I'm rooted. Should going into SuperSU and performing the full unroot operation be all that is necessary in your experience? Other than that, the phone would be completely stock (only used root for File Explorer purposes).
You can definitely try that, or you can flash the ROM and Firmware individually (which I would highly recommend). Those packages are available here: http://www.graffixnyc.com/m8.php
Scroll down and you should see these:
Rooted Flashable Stock Rom Build: 5.1
(Zip compiled by [email protected])
MD5: 063006c70395cf401af0d1b27b4473e8
5.1 LMY470.H4 4.04.1700.4 Firmware Zip (Contains stock boot img, stock recovery, hboot, radio etc)
MD5: a3e2bd4b51c0ceff46e52f521e9454be
After I downloaded the update, it prompted me to reboot to install, and then all of the sudden in the middle of the countdown, it reverted to telling me my device is up to date, and there is no evidence of the 240mb downloaded file anywhere. Strange. Maybe I will steer clear for now.

Did you get a notification, that you posted in the wrong section....you did now.
Moved out of the Development Section as this does not belong there, please read the Forum Rules posting.
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.
