[Q] can someone make a flashable zip for latest OTA

i would like to install the latest OTA update for 4.4.2 but it keeps failing.
i flashed stock recovery and i have stock kernel.
when i apply the update it just states that the update was unsuccessful.
any idea on how to solve this? i have tesco moto g on which i flashed stock UK firmware. it is only rooted. i do not think that i have deleted system apps and i tryed disabling xposed modules.
could someone make a flashable zip if it is possile?
i would really appreciate it :victory:

I use the latest TWRP as my recovery and it updates the OTA files fine, so I would suggest trying that.

I updated manually, now I will get OTA normally?

I had rooted my nexus last week and, after I rooted my nexus,
I get a message from my system to update from 4.4.3 to ----> 4.4.4.
so I press install, and he started to install, after 25~ seconds, my nexus said: "error". (because of the root...)
because of this I decided to updated manually through: "toolkit" and the root will be gone.
I download the 4.4.4 from google's website: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images, and "toolkit" updated my nexus to 4.4.4 and the root gone.
now when I will get a message to update system I will be able to install normally?

Yes, you should be fine! What was your error? I'm rooted, custom kernel and recovery and the OTA installed with no problem.

You said previously that you flashed the factory image. If that is the case you have nothing to worry about.
As far as the L update I heard this fall!

Just root and enjoy the phone. L official release is months off....you can flash stock then in minutes and take the OTA, or flash it through fastboot when the time comes and forget about the OTA.

Stagefright update (LMY48B->LMY48I)

I bought a Nexus 5 (refurbished) from Freedom Pop. I can't remember what version is came with, maybe 4.4.4. First thing I did with it was install CWM (6.0.4.7) and flash the Google Nexus 5 factory image (5.1.1 / LMY48B) and root the device. Now that LMY48I is out, I got a OTA notification about a system update. When I try to do the OTA update, it fails. So I downloaded the update zip to take LMY48B->LMY48I from http://www.droid-life.com/2015/08/10/download-nexus-4-5-6-7-9-10-ota-stagefright-patches/ . I boot into CWM and install zip, but it fails with:
Package expects build fingerprint of google/hammerhead/hammerhead:5.1.1/LMY48B/1863243:user/release-keys; this device has google/hammerhead/hammerhead:4.4.2/KOT49H/937116 Instllation aborted.
When I go to Settings, System, it shows I have LMY48B. Why does the install think I have KOT49H? When I flashed the factory image it did it not update some file somewhere and if so, how can I get that file to accurately report what I'm running?
Thanks,

You must return to stock before you attempt to install that zip. That means you cannot be rooted or have custom recovery in place

I've got a stock N5 I bought from Google on LMY48B and there's still no update for me.
Does anyone know what the roll-out timeline is for the LMY48I?
When should I conclude that I'm not going to get it OTA and resign myself to factory wipe and flashing the image?

I have a stock Nexus 5, rooted w/ cf-auto-root, re-locked , no custom recovery or bootloaders, and all i see is Error when trying to install this OTA. I'm stuck at the moment myself. Installing the OTA should just unroot my phone, but it won't install. Currently running on 5.1.1 (LMY48B) myself.

I have the same problem her as well with my nexus 5 it keeps saying error with little droid I've tried side loading manually but it didn't work also tried hard reset and wiping cache but nothing solved the problem so i just figured out the problem is the package it self

Same problem here

Same thing here, error with little droid picture on rooted android 5.1.1.
Has anyone found the reason for this ?

Try flashing system image directly

This possibility makes me spend a lot of time, becouse i have lcd_density changed and all apps when i restore a backup are not in the main screen.

This method is for anyone with lmy48b that's rooted or has a radio, kernel or recovery custom flashed.
Condensed version but here's the important pieces. You will lose root if you are unrooted. You will not lose any data or settings if done this way.
Step 1. Download lmy48b from google
Step 2. Unzip lmy48b package
Step 3. Copy bootloader, radio and system.img from lmy48b package (unzip zipped file for bootloader and system.img)
Step 4. Connect phone and boot into bootloader
Step 5. Type in fastboot flash recovery [recovery].img replace [recovery] with the actual file name
Step 6. Type in fastboot flash radio [radio].img
Step 7. Type in fastboot flash system [system].img
Step 8. Reboot
Step 9. Update via OTA

Working - confirmed

Thanks, confirmed that this method worked. Managed to update my rooted nexus 5 to LMY48I

Tried to install ota update after reverting to stock recovery using Simple Recovery Switcher app. However, also the error message, with little Android picture also appears. Please help

I assume this removed your root, though.

It seems we are getting a new factory image en september to properly solve the stagefright bug
"A second patch has been sent out. "We’ve already sent the fix to our partners to protect users, and Nexus 4/5/6/7/9/10 and Nexus Player will get the OTA update in the September monthly security update"
I have decided i will stay at 5.1.1 untill Android M maybe september also. In the meanwhile i have disabled MmsService and OTA.

I'm with you, not going to try to flash these things, there are a few zip files out there dated a couple days ago, apparently the zips aren't tested prior to release since everyone is getting failure when flashing the zip file.

Is there really no method to apply OTA updates on rooted/modified devices (e.g. modify the update.zip itself to bypass whatever checks it performs)?

Same problem here- only had a custom recovery and root. brought back the stock recovery and did full unroot from SuperSu.
OTA update installtion stops with "Error".

Just flash the system image from the update.

Thanks, I ended up doing this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=62288667&postcount=196
(flashing stock system, boot and recovery from my current version, letting OTA update install and re-rooting according to http://forum.xda-developers.com/goo...ide-nexus-5-how-to-unlock-bootloader-t2507905)
I guess i could have flashed the new version just the same.

Shutting down Repeatedly When trying to Update Marshmallow

Hi All,
I have Moto X play running on android 5.1.1 lollipop. It was rooted recently and used with cyanogen Mod 12.1 for a month. during that time i did back up of entire phone. later i restored that and at present i have been using stock Rom. Recently i got official update for Android marshmallow and i downloaded the 500+Mb file and tried to install. In that process it was going to Twrp recovery mode and not installing properly. So i did reboot system. After 5 mins i turned on mobile, it got shutdown and i again restored my backup . It was working fine. cant we update to Marshmallow with the rooted device? If so how to stop the notifications of android system updates? I tried this way but still i am getting update notification
Apps--> All---> Motorola Update services--> turned off the notification
.How to disable it so that i should not receive update notification? or any other process to upgrade to marshmallow even after rooting? Please let me know

you need stock recovery to update to OTA mm, you cannot update from TWRP. download the lollipop stock-firmware extract the recovery file and flash it, then update.
i wanted to ask that after restoring from backup you got OTA update notification ? or you downloaded the MM update from other sources?? because i thought after rooting i wont get official OTA.

if you have your backup just do a full flash on stock rom and start fresh. there's an Asian 6.0 rom (I believe it is Indian) on the x play github. then proceed with root again.

Actually i am not android developer or android related person. After i heard many things about rooting the devices. I just give it a try by watching the video in you tube. So i am not aware of the core technical terms you specified.
First rooted the mobile. before installing the cyanogen Mod 12.1, i took back up in TWRP recovery mode. i used that same backup to restore after my device got shutdown. Yes even after rooting i got the Update notification

i think if you can block/disable notifications for Google Play Services, it'll remove the update notification.

Sir, Is it possible to unroot the rooted devices in any way? if so could you please let me know

if you want to unroot you can do it from superuser, its mentioned in the youtube video. just unroot from superuser settings.
then if you want to upgrade to marshmallow download Indian stock lollipop rom from https://github.com/motoxplay/stock. unzip it on your computer to the the folder where you kept TWRP while flashing it . you'll see a file named recovery.img.
from adb run the command
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
i.e flash this recovery just the way you flashed TWRP.
then you can update to marshmallow.
and did disabling google play services removed your update notification???

Just follow the procedure as given in that thread and everything will be fine.
It has nothing to do with the way you rooted your phone.
If a phone has twrp installed, he has nothing to fear about upgrading to latest versions as the updates are made available on Xda in Twrp flashable zip.
So no need to format the stock firmware again and then update and then all the headache.

Sir, In your previous post you meant to say this?
1. First unroot the mobile using the super Su (settings)
2. Then flash the Stock lollipop rom mentioned in the github
3. Then update the mobile to Marshmallow
4. Then again root the device

1. correct
1.1. check oem unlock and usb debugging
1.2. Copy the original old backup which you took, to your external sdcard. [just to return to stock if anything goes wrong]
2. Just flash the recovery which is present in the lollipop rom, no need to flash the whole rom.
3. correct
4. Do NOT flash the old superuser to root. To root again follow these steps http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-play/general/root-how-to-root-6-0-easly-t3277202

my phone running 6.0.1 not 5.0.2, anyway what is the solution ?

Ota updates can only be installed on an unrooted system with stock recovery unless the ota update has been compiled for flashi via twrp.

It is asking for google and you have omni.

so, is there a way to install this ota update manually, without unroot the phone and wipe twrp recovery ?

Why would you install a Google OTA when you are obviously running a custom ROM?
Wait for the developer of that to update, or revert back to stock.
