I am having the same issue. I don't really care whether the update is applied or not. I just want the annoyingly persistent update message to go away. It is there every time I turn my phone on. Can the update either be applied somehow, or if not, can it be disabled?
Thanks.

Hi guys, earlier i tried updating my phone to 2.3 gingerbread. And some reason, when finish downloading and was checking for approval package or something like that told me failed. Now im trying to update it again, and just tells me "Current version is the latest" I was rooted but i unrooted my phone before i did the updated, even did a reset factory on my phone. Any help on this?
I'm running stock, its not even rooted yet again the updates fails. Is there anyway to fix this?
I unfroze all the apps I had frozen and tried the OTA and it still failed.
I am rooted with just the stock ROM.
Anything I am missing here?
I do not think OTA updates with the carrier is possible on a rooted phone. I know mine would not do OTA updates when it was stock, unlocked, and rooted. It would always fail.
No OTA updates will work on a rooted phone. If it somehow does work it will likely break your root privileges
ok that makes sense.
So did you just not do the update and how do I make it stop trying to update.
I might start running custom roms again. I have not done that in a long time.

You can do a OTA with root but you will just lose it. If you altered some system files it will fail or if you run a custom recovery it will fail.
I've had similar issues, on other devices, with ota updates not working because of root, and more specifically I believe, cwm recovery. Unfortunately I've had to use kies to update.

There was no option to update. Verizon pushed the update to my phone twice in the middle of the night without my knowledge or permission. In the mornings I would see the message that the update failed. I didn't want it anyway, and dislike the bloat, so I flashed to a custom ROM after their second attempt. No more OTA updates for me now. That's what happened with me anyway.
Yea I agree... I did not really need the OTA and I plan on installing CleanROM 5.6 tmr.
I just froze all that bloat back. I can't stand all that S***T running in the back ground.

Hi folks,
I received the OTA update notification for Android 5 yesterday, downloaded it and while installing it - I received an error and the device restarted to normal Android mode (Kitkat 4.4.4 - Nexus 5). I dont know what went wrong, the OTA notification is gone now. And I tried many times for updating the device via OTA, but there is no update information.
Wanted to know the following things:
1. Does any one had similar problems like this?
2. What really went wrong?
3. Will I get the OTA update or should I follow any of the manual method?
PS: Device Used : Nexus 5 - running Kitkat 4.4.4 - Rooted via TowelRoot - Stock ROM
If you feel I miss any major inputs, please do comment, so I can add it.
TIA Have a Great day !!
If it failed chances are you've made a change to a system app/file which is why it's failing. You have to be 100% stock to successfully apply an OTA update
Thanks for the quick response !!

Does unroot help in here? How about unroot and factory reset?
Will I get the OTA anyway?

If you're the chosen one then, yes, you should get it again.
Phone is S-off, Rooted
Running Android 5.0.1
TWRP 2.8.5.0
My screen prior to going into recovery states: Software Status "Official"
I'm getting the VZ software update notifications. Does anybody have any idea what this update is for? When it has tried to auto update in the past, it has failed, which is expected.
Wasn't sure I needed to bother with updating my phone or grabbing an updated ROM for anything groundbreaking.
Thanks!

Nevermind, just googled the OTA software update number (4.17.605.5_R4) and it relates to Stagefright patch. I am currently on 4.17.605.5
Is it something to be concerned with leaving as is or go ahead and update?.
Thanks
