Have same problem. Now I have installed pre rooted WW 9.2.1.11. I have OTA notification, but whenever I start update, TF reboots, then there is some progress bar (unpacking?) and when it comes to about 1/3 it stops and I have same picture as above.
I tried to clean cache, clean that agent responsible for OTA (don't know how it is called and I don't have my TF with me now) but nothing works.
Maybe I have to flash manually? Will there be problems becouse of root?
Regards
cwm recovery cannot do OTA.
If you have stock recovery, you can try the following:
Download the latest ASUS official firmware.
Unzip it and you will find another zip. Rename the zip to EP101_SDUPDATE.zip
Put EP101_SDUPDATE.zip on the root of your sdcard.
Boot into recovery
For more detail, down load from ASUS website the firmware installation instruction.

Today when trying to update the busybox binaries it failed. Whereupon I lost root and wifi stopped working and I couldn't root the device again.
I did factory reset/wipe to no avail (wifi still dead and couldn't reroot). Then I restocked using odin doing wipe again. After the restock wifi worked again but now I'm not able to root the device (I'm using the root.zip method from recovery). Superuser can't update the su binary and neither can SuperSU.
Any help with this dilemma (getting root back) would be appreciated. Thanks.
First uninstall the update of version 3.0 of superusers. In the handler for app not see more' the application but if you go in the menu you will notice it is still there, given that many ROM cook have a default. Then the total uninstall does not, you can do. Now download the package of the binaries and flash using Recovery http://www.mobilegeek.it/?dl_id=397 once finished initiated the device and download from the market the update to version 3.0 . Now open superuser /settings and select "Track on v3.0 " to update correctly the rails. If the process give you all the "OK" green vul say that everything is alright. If by some red writing reboot the device and try to reflash the rails ...

I just bought Gsmart Arty A3 and it proves unrootable. But also, I found out that it comes with stock recovery and stock rom updates like here which are flashable and in .zip format when downloaded.
So I'm wondering this: is there a way to download this official firmware from the link above and tweak into being pre-rooted?
Please help me out if you know how
Regards
EDIT #1: Only a way to debloat this stock firmware is good enough if there's no help for root
EDIT #2: I downloaded official update and this is in system/app from that flashable .zip (see attachment)

Now, I wonder if it is safe to delete bloatware in this folder (widgets and cosmote .apk and .odex's), save changes and flash this zip through stock recovery?
PLEASE, ANSWER ME!
Great idea. But we need to check if that zip is signed or something. Including how those apps that are taking care of firmware updates are used. Would be great to re-package with KingoRoot, Busybox, SuperSU etc, for example, for those who doesn't want root out of the box...

Download file from here:https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B9DmzLnUt5tuNzJyc3NNTHVXdUE/view?usp=sharing
unzip and find three more zip files, one is drivers. I don't know which ones did the magic cause I was screwing around for days so just install em all like I did.
Then install and run Vroot with USB debugging enabled....That'll get you root.
Then run the beautiful twrp magic installer I found somewhere else, you'll be warned about potentially losing your IMEI due to space issues, if concerned, back up with mobileuncle tools first. I didn't lose my IMEI though.
after TWRP installs, install supersu from the app store and update the su binary through recovery when prompted or using the supersu update zip through recovery (not included) and you're all done.
Thanks to everyone who originally made these files, I can take no credit. but u can jock me for spoon feeding you if you want
Will this root method work on life play mini L180b?

Assuming you're using a Windows PC and Odin.
Run Odin as administrator.
You'll need the exact OEM Samsung firmware for your device. Good thing you included the variant code of your firmware in your original post.
Here is one place you can find the file to download https://www.galaxyfirmware.com/model/SM-A127F/
After downloading, extract the zip. A few "tar.md5" files will be inside.
Using instructions from here, flash the original firmware onto your phone.
After reboot, the phone might restart a few times and launch into recovery. If it does, then select "format data" in recovery and reboot.
Phone should be back to factory ready for you to brick again.
Also if you want to try rooting again use patched magsisk
I tried updating my phone manually with a batch file, using the official retail g100 rom, but it wouldn't finish the installation and now my phone is bricked
I updated it several times before using this method but it never gave me any issues until now
is there another way to install the official rom without losing any data or is it better to just switch to a custom rom, and if so, how do I go about doing it?
I'd really appreciate if you guys could help me asap
Can you access fastboot/bootloader mode?
yes
Did you use an old batch file or create a new one for the updated firmware?
If you are using an old one, chuck it and make a new one from the recent firmware. Possibly theres an extra sparse image part in there, that the old batch file isnt flashing.
I tried with a batch file from the previous version and then I created a new batch file but it still didn't work
