[Q] Why does my FIDO XT925 fail to update?

Fido XT925 4.0.4, recently my cell phone consumes too much power and it can't just standby for 2 days, so I just wanna update my software, I got an ota update package just now, and it's 300M+. I updated once ,after reboot up, my screen shows "software update failed", could any one tell me why ?

Could be some third party app you have installed? check what you have bro, I did same update a while back but xt925 was all stock. Also, you may need to re-download the update as it could have been corrupted

Just download the fastboot file and follow the flashing instructions in my tutorial thread.

[Q] Downloaded lollipop but nothing happened

A few weeks ago I broke my rooted Nexus 5, so I got another. It has KitKat installed and when I tried to root it the best I could get is to unlock the bootloader. I finally got fed up and last night I allowed the Lollipop OTA to download onto my phone. The problem is it's nowhere to be found. After finishing the process the phone's home screen looked the same so I went to "about the phone" and the software still shows 4.4.4. What the hell happened? The annoying OTA notification is gone. Why isn't lollipop there? Thanks to anyone who can help.

You can't OTA on rooted phone.

Why don't you just flash the 5.0.1 factory image with fastboot and be done with it.

Help with Lollipop
The phone isn't rooted. Just the bootloader is unlocked.

You don't need to be rooted to do as @jd1639 suggests, using the link he supplied. ?

Yes, and you need an unlocked bootloader to flash factory images. Root access only has relevance within Android itself and is completely irrelevant in fastboot/recovery.

[Q] Sell my moto G but screen is flickering

When my regular moto G was at 4.4.4 I decided to "upgrade" my phone to 5.0.1 GPE. Then, for some reason, I did not want GPE 5.0.1 anymore, so I downgraded to stock 4.4.4 then installed cyanogenmod 5.0.2.
The result is the famous screen flickering - which can be solved by locking/unlocking the screen once.
Now I want to buy a new phone and sell my moto G. I'm wondering how I could get rid of the screen flickering. People will think that the moto G is somewhat damaged and will not buy. Will the screen flickering be gone if I downgrade to stock 4.4.4 again? Or do I have to wait for kernel fix?
Best regards
Martin

Kernel source is out. I personally haven't used it yet but I'm thinking that should solve it.

Ok
Could I just flash that kernel on my phone then? Where can I find it? Thanks for your help, I'm new to this

If an OTA update to 5.0 is available for your phone, flash back to stock and take the OTA update.

Hmm, the OTA will come. Dunno when.
Lets say I do as you suggest, will I get the OTA even if I don't have exactly the same stock image as when i bought the phone? Cause I can only find this (i'm from Sweden):
XT1032_RETAIL-EU_4.4.4_KXB21.14-L1.4…d7_CFC_1FF.xml.zip
You think that would give me the OTA Lollipop when it comes?
Best regards and thanks a ton for your help

I'm not sure, but if it isn't available through OTA, maybe you can find a stock image later.
I flashed my Telus xt1032 back to stock 4.4.4 and it keeps saying my software is up to date, but I know it isn't. It may take time for the Lollipop update to happen.

Xt1541 ota

I've got a XT1541 8GB with LPI23.72-22 firmware Spain retail version. I've seen the retail firmware in the firmware's post but i haven't got the ota just yet. Has anyone with this device got the OTA? Is there any other way to install it? Downloading from motorla website and flashing maybe? Im on stock unrooted.
Also i would like to know if I stay on stock recovery and root the phone, will unrooting it before updating be enough to capture ota's without any problem? And then root again by temporarily boot into twrp?
Thanks for the help.

I have a different model but root won't stop you from downloading and capturing the OTA. I was able to capture the OTA even though I was rooted and updated while rooted. To be on the safe side, it would probably be best to unroot though. Before I rebooted after the OTA, I went into the cache and saved a copy of the OTA.

So as long as i keep stock recovery and I unroot before updating i wont have any truble right?
Is motorola sending the OTA or my carrier? Because i got the unlocked phone on amazon and my carrier is not selling phones or giving them with a contract.
Anyway i think im gonna go for cyanogenmod as soon as it gets official support.

Right, you shouldn't have any problems. Motorola will be sending out the update, not your carrier. You probably wouldn't have any trouble updating while rooted, but to be on the safe side it wouldn't hurt. You'll have to root again after the update anyway, so you may as well un-root before the update.

Android System Update w/ Root

Hey all,
I've got the Verizon Pixel 128gb with unlocked bootloader and 7.1.1. I just received the notice from my phone today asking if I want to get the recent Android System Update for the 2017-01 patches. (46.5 mb).
Will it mess anything up if I accept this? Anyone else receive this? Will it work on a rooted phone? I haven't seen anything about this particular update yet, so I figured I'd ask.

There are monthly updates, first Monday of every month. If you are unlocked you can take it no problem. However if you are rooted or modded it will fail and you will have to do it manually.

It won't hurt anything, but you won't be able to apply it automatically. The best method for handling updates is this:
Steps for Magic:
Install TWRP
Flash OTA file using ADB sideload
Reinstall TWRP
Profit!
