Lately, I've noticed that I get an "Android Updating" message each time I power on my Tab 2 7. I'm rooted and wouldn't expect to be getting a system update even though I'm on stock UEALD3. Any ideas?

I'm also started to get that message. running ICS 4.0.4 on a LePan2 Tablet. I know is not hardware related as I restored a Honeycomb ROM (android 3.2.1) and it doesn't show with that version.
If n1 knows what could be doing this would be appreciated.
I did install a program called SYSTEM TUNER PRO which did some changes to /system/build.prop so I am not sure if that's the case. I'll keep Google-ing to see what I find.

Hi,
I installed Electron's ICS rom on my Verizon GT 7.7. It works great! However, now I'm getting constant update notices to install the update that Verizon is trying to push out (for the reduced battery consumption). This update is for honeycomb, so I'm sure I don't want to install it. The tablet is working great and I wouldn't want to mess with that right now anyway.
Does anyone know how to disable the auto-update checking, or freeze the update process? I saw in another post that someone was able to freeze the process, but he didn't say what process it was. I did some searching on the interwebs but came up with nothing.
The tablet is rooted (the Electron ROM came pre-rooted).
Any advice would be appreciated!
hi, i just got my tablet back from repairs and i asked them to install ICS if they had to reset the firmware, and they did. now my problem is that i want to update to the 4.2 JB that came out (while my ASUS was in repairs for 3 WEEKS) but i can't. when i try to update, it just says "no update found". i have already talked to their "experts" and he just kept saying "oh, it come to your tablet when it ready" I have also tried to download the update from their site, but then when it tells you what version you need by looking at the build number, i noticed mine was IML74K.WW_epad-9.4..... and shouldn't it be something more like US_epad-9.4.....? i tried to install it anyways but it never detected it on the sd card. so then i tried to just use fastboot and flash it to the device, but when i entered the boot menu, THERE WAS NO OPTION!! In fact, there was only 2 options, wipe data, and boot android. there was no usb or RCK (or whatever it was) option. i also have several other problems, but i'll leave them for another day and another post, sense they may be related
Any help would be awesome sense it's obvious I'm not going to get much help from ASUS. Let me know if you need any other info too!
Thanks in advanced!!

The stock 4.2 (10.6.1.8) has an assert that will only allow it to be installed from 10.4.2.20. If memory serves me correctly ICS does not have the usb icon until unlocked. Also the new 4.2 bootloader only has three icons - no usb.
Are you unlocked? Most units that come from repair are not and can't be unlocked.
With all the unresolved issues on 4.2 I would not put it on my tablet at this time. There are many bricks waiting for a resolution.
thanks, that helped fix it!

I downloaded the 4.1 firmware and it detected it and installed it right away. I don't know why they couldn't tell me that when I called, but it fixed the problem. And I know you said not to, but I installed 4.2 anyways because I was too curious, and I have personally found no problems and like the new features.
Hi all,
Hoping this is an easy fix someone has seen before.
I have a used 16gb wifi version that I'm trying to update to 5.1.1.
The OTA download works OK, but when it says flash and reboot, the progress bar only gets about 20% along and then shows an "Error" message over the robot.
Wiped the download and redone the OTA a few times with same results.
Not so concerned about getting the update as I am in trying to figure out if the device is part of the recall or not.
I think that the system may have been loaded with a custom ROM by the previous owner but it looks to be put back to factory. Don't know if it is left in a weird state of locked/unlocked/rooted or not or if that should matter.
Thanks
Ron
Make sure you are getting the full update. Should be more than 700 mb. In system update click the 3 dots and select the full ota.
Resolved- Thanks

Hey, thanks.
I found this just before your reply by accident when my son wanted to try the update ONE MORE time and hit the 3 dots by mistake. Just caught the word "full' before the window closed and went back to give that a try.
All the other devices in the house are Nexus so this new device was a bit of an anomaly that I wasn't used to.
Update worked just fine but now looks like we wait for the recall replacement to come in

Hi everyone!
I've just received and successfully installed a system update for Android 5.1.1 and it says exactly zero about itself. Even Android's version hasn't changed.
Does anyone have any idea what it fixes? I surmise it fixes two recent holes but 10MB sounds a little too much for that.
I also got but nothing happened
Sent from my Nexus 5
I got it, I'm updating manually since for some reason my phone never wants to update the regular way.
It addresses the Stagefright vulnerability
How can I apply this update manually?
It doesn't apply automatically - there are no errors, nothing. I've rebooted my phone three times already and it wants to install it again.

flash it through ADB
I use this thread as reference just to make sure I don't miss any step but there are a few others threads like this. http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/general/guide-update-rooted-device-to-5-1-lmy47d-t3050789
OTA install error
I got the OTA notification to download & install the Stagefright patch. Every time I try to install it, it says "error!" shortly after it starts to install and shows the android with a red exclamation point.
My nexus 5 is stock & unrooted.
Any idea what's causing this and how to force the install? If not, I can sideload OTA with ADB later tonight.
Thanks!
I think the build number should have changed to LMY48I.

adb fastboot
I've had my first freeze and first complete blackout since this small update
This should be the monthly update mentioned on main page
This update is worthless: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2015/0...efright_fix_wont_be_resolved_until_september/
I will skip it.
As in the title states I have the galaxy tab 2 7.0 and recently I installed CWM and a ROM and everything looked like it went right however after I reloaded my tablet nothing seems different it jus seems to return to stock setting and now I cant do the OTA software update which means now certain apps and games I can no longer uses as it says my device isnt compatible. My goal was to simple update from Jellybean to at Least Kitkat.
Can someone help me. where did I go wrong?

Well after a short research I found a ROM called Resurrection Remix, loaded with 5.0.2 (or Lollipop) however now everything is force closing and I barely got my laptop to see it as MTP again after installing a new Binary (glad that did that trick for that) but I cant get it to boot into CWM Recovery bc I cant access the app the only thing it will let me do right now is change the Binary.
How can I fix this issue?
Edit: Okay so I got that solved with doing a factory reset twice, booted in CWM, loaded up the GApps. Now just wondering if there is away to make it not seen with phone options like the dialer or msgs as its jus a plan old tablet, doesnt take a sim card and has no carrier. I do have the source code but I am not tweaking that til I get a better understanding of it.
After a lot of research and tries (amazingly without bricking) I am now running an even newer version of a CM 13 Marshmellow
