[Q] Stock Nexus 5 with Android 4.4.4 produces a Status 7 error with the OTA update

Hello,
my Dad has a Nexus 5 from Google Play. The phone wasn't and isn't rooted/unlocked. All updates are installed when they come "over the air" to the phone. So the Lollipop OTA update comes and he let it install on the phone but the update didn't work. During the system check it says "/system/lib/libnfc_nci_jni.so has unexpected contents" and "Status 7" and "Error in /tmp/update.zip". But this could not be. It's all stock and nothing is changed on the phone (no root, unlocked).
So I tried to fastboot sideload the OTA update. But this gives me the same error.
The phone data:
Android-Version: 4.4.4
Baseband: M8974-A-2.0.50.1.16
Kernel: 3.4.0-gd59db4e
Build-Version: KTU84P
I used the "5.0 LRX21O-from-4.4.4 KTU84P" OTA file from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/general/info-nexus-5-ota-help-desk-t2523217
What's wrong? How can this file have been changed without root? Or is the system check wrong? Can I somehow fix this without unlocking the phone (loosing the data would be only the last option if nothing else works)?
Thanks

As per the error, '/system/lib/libnfc_nci_jni.so' isn't the stock file so it's been changed somehow or is corrupt. That or the OTA file is corrupt so double-check the md5 and try again

Thanks for your answer. But how can a file be changed or get corrupt if there is no acccess to it for the user? But let's go this way ... the file is changed or corrupt. How can I fix this?
I read that flashing the 4.4.4 system.img could possibly fix this problem. But flashing a *.img with fastboot works only with a unlocked bootloader.
Would this way work to boot into TWRP with a locked bootloader?
fastboot boot recovery.img

So maybe booting into TWRP with this fastboot command and then flashing the 4.4.4 system.img. But I don't know if this will work.
Or is there a way to replace a system file with fastboot or adb when the bootloader is locked?
I won't have access to the phone until monday so I'm collecting all possible solutions.

[Help] XT925 failed to flash partition

Hi!
I have some problem for reflash my XT925.
He's unlocked on the bootloader and was rooted. I installed the last official KK ROM (from xda thread about update on KK). But my clock was stuck on the 1st January of 1970 and no way to modify that.
So I wiped the phone with TWRP and after I try to reflash my moto.
And it doesn't work! If i use the file for updating from 4.1.2 to KK, I have ann error with :
Code:
tz file size
And if I use the Retail FR 4.1.2 9.8.2Q-8-XT925_VQU-22
Code:
downgraded security version
update gpt_main version failed
preflash validation failed for GPT
If I delete these two files the flash works but the phone doesn't boot :'(
So I think my partition was corrupted and this is why I can't boot.
So how I can repair that. Some people tried to flash the GPT file from partition_signed file but I don't know where is mine ^^
Regards

No need to repartition system.
Flash the Retail FR 4.1.2 9.8.2Q-8-XT925_VQU-22 with RSDlite, then look for the OTA update.
If OTA update not available for your ROM, download the Edit.Blur_Version.98.21.22003.XT925.CEE-Retail.en.EU.zip which has the updater script included and flash it through your recovery.

But it did'nt work when I try to reflash the partition (only the partition) it does'nt pass This is why I have this error
downgraded security version

I need to reflash the partition but I was in KK. SO it doesn't want to flash a previous version I think. I need a KK official ROM to re-partition.

how did you install kk over what you had?

At first :
1/ Flash 4.1.2 Upgradable from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/dro...tutorial-make-motorola-razr-hd-xt925-t2916465
2/Upgrade via OTA to KK
3/Bug appeared with the clock and the date (unable to change the date or the clock (i'm not alone https://forums.motorola.com/posts/2b9452ac6b?page=1) )
4/Decided to wipe all for a clean flash
5/Trying to flash with the Retail FR 4.1.2 9.8.2Q-8-XT925_VQU-22
5/Flash Failed if I keep partition_signed (security downgrade)or tz file(wrong file size)
6/Flash Pass if I delete this lines in the xml but the phone won't start (bootloop)
Is it clear ?

much better Btrax, i can see clearly now
i just had that clock isht stuck in 1970 yesterday man, i did troubleshoot it for an hour or so, but I couldn't get it to adjust itself. In addition, i was doing more stuff even opening the xt 925 physically .
So after all the things i tried, i disconnected the battery to make sure i dont short circuit anything, then tightened up cables .
Rebooted the thing, and it fired right up.
I don't know how comfortable you are with getting into the xt 925, however with guidance, you don't even need to disconnect the screen cables or nothing.
You have two screws in the bottom, then you can just pry it open , and sideloading some plastic tool to disconnect battery and back.
I wish i had a softer solution but , it is what it is man. I ll be glad to help if you go that route.
ps. put link to this post in the link you shared

Since you are in France, there is a new recent OTA KK official update : 180.46.117.XT925.CEE-Retail.en.EU.
If I were you I would go back to Step 1 and 2 and then try to grab this new update.
Seems like it corrects Free Carrier EAP SIM and other Google security issues. Hope it will correct your problem too?

In this update there is just je gpt file and no Tz file. so I need both I think because I flashe the GPT.bin file and after flash the Retail France ROM, but it didn't Work :/
So where i can find the tz file and gpt from canada?
My bootloader is unlocked so i can flash any official ROM

[Q] Rogers Razr HD 4.1.2 OTA to 4.4.2 update fails

I have 3 RAZR HD phones from Rogers in Canada that are on 4.1.2 that are Rooted but the bootloader has not been unlocked and they have chainfire SuperSU on them. My wife got the OTA update notice days ago and said yes to it. She showed me her phone yesterday with the message that the software update failed. When it failed she was told by a friend at work that it failed because she had a SU on it so she did an uninstall on SU through the playstore and tried the update again that failed. I had told them (wife and daughter) not to make changes to them until i have a look at them, but well I guess that didn't work for one anyway. I let mine download the OTA update but said install later. I have a copy of the zip file now on my PC. She then did a factory reset (work friend) and tried the OTA update again. that failed.
Coupel questions.
1: I have been trying to find out how to unroot the phones so that the OTA update works but am getting a lot of conflicting info and not sure if it applies to my Rogers phones. Do they need to be unrooted to update? Do they need the bootloader unlocked to work around the OTA update After update how do i get Root again?
2: My wifes phone now is "stuck" partially unrooted? What i mean is I tried to put chainfire SU back on but it fails saying the binary cannot install and quits. It will not accept the OTA update from Rogers also. Apps that require Root on her phone do not work properly now also.

Would I be able to get a copy of the 4.4.2 Rogers firmware from you? I'm in the same boat and would need a copy of this firmware to force an update with the Motorola tools. If it works out for me I'll definitely share the process.

Your best bet is to backup your data, RSDLite back to stock 4.1.2 and take the OTA. Make sure your bootloader is unlocked. Do not root or install custom recovery before the OTA has completed.

Bootloader unlocked now
I have the bootloader unlocked now from Moto website. If I boot into AP Fastboot it is confirmed "Device is UNLOCKED. Status Code: 3" I am trying to flash a cmwrecovery.img to the phone. I get the following
(bootloader) Variable not supported!
target reported max download size of 31457280 bytes
sending 'recovery' (6824 KB)...
OKAY [ 0.530s]
writing 'recovery'...
OKAY [ 1.997s]
finished. total time: 2.527s
I am not sure that the img is working. I execute the fastboot reboot and hold volume up/down and power select recovery and it stays on the boot logo for a long time then goes black logo comes back and boots normally. Not sure why its not working and do not know what i am doing wrong.

Any advise out there on this Rogers XT926 O.T.A. update fails
Now that the bootloader is unlocked I still cannot get the Rogers OTA to work. I got the 4.1.2 rooted again now and installed chainfire SuperSU onto the phone did a full unroot with SuperSU checked with root checker and now it says it is not rooted. I did a full factory reset wipe all data and downloaded the OTA update, let the OTA update try and it got 3/4 way through and failed. it keeps saying there is a critical update to run will download it and try but fails. I even tried to use the CWM custom recovery to run the update file and it gets error messages and fails. Not sure what to change in the OTA.img file to get this to take. Did anyone else figure out how to force it to complete?

Where is the Rogers stock 4.1.2
I found lots of 4.1.2 img files but I cannot be sure that any are for Rogers. How do I know that they are really plain stock files with now changes made to them, so that I can proceed?

Signal Drops after some call time in VOLTE [Signal is dropped for both SIMs]

I have a Moto g3 XT1550 Dual sim phone, Recently I tried out Lineage OS. Later I reverted to stock by flashing stock firmware via fastboot.
Now after some call time, signal is lost for both the SIMs(I have dual SIM cards) and call is dropped. After some time signal would be back and the cycle continues.
There is one more weird thing I noticed; While flashing the stock firmware (Yes, I tried flashing a couple of times), when I try to flash
Code:
fastboot flash partition gpt.bin
It returns error as follows,
Code:
(bootloader) Preflash validation failed
FAILED (remote failure)
I have an Unlocked bootloader.

Don't know about the signal loss but the error you're getting while flashing is because you're flashing an older firmware on a newer one. The firmware you're flashing must be the same or newer than the one on you're phone for successful flashing.

Thanks for your reply. I have read about this prior to flashing; However, I have read that if the bootloader is unlocked, this error shouldn't occur. Correct me if I'm wrong.

The error will occur even if the bootloader is unlocked. Skip bootloader and gpt.bin files while flashing. The phone should boot up after that.

I cant promise this will work but i think if you still have access to bootloader you may be able to unlock it again then flash twrp and use my step in this link here keep in mind you need to work with the correct firmware and mid for your device. my issue was a little different but i basically had 0 access to rom . i can only access twrp and bootloader. luckily i was unlocked already
