[Q] Won't download from play or goo.im - Asus Transformer TF700

Hello, I was running an unlocked transformer on CyanogenMod 10.2.1. It was running extremely slowly and gave me a weird error where it turned off the auto time and date function and thought it was 2011. I tried to update it to CM11 using the auto-update function, but TWRP reported the update failed, then put the tablet into a reboot cycle. I was running TWRP 2.5 at the time, which I've since found out was incompatible with kitkat.
I put it into recovery mode, and restored to ASUS stock (still rooted). The tablet booted fine and signed in to Google Play and accessed the web, but wouldn't download any files from play or from Goo.IM. I downloaded other versions of CM11 and tried going into recovery to flash them and got the same failure message. Occassionally, TWRP will give me a message saying my root permissions are incorrect and to repair them. When I repair them, it goes back to the reboot cycle and I have to restore to stock again.
I've since updated TWRP to 2.7.1.1 and uninstalled/reinstalled SuperSU. Through Titanium Backup, I restored the market links without any effect. I've also run the motochopper root utility to try and fix my root permissions. That has allowed me to successfully flash CM11, but when I boot it sticks on the CM splash screen with the arrow continually circling around. I've sat and waited for 30 minutes without any progress, so I don't think it's a matter of letting it figure itself out on the initial boot.
Any ideas? Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

I bet not only your recovery was outdated but your bootloader is too. Check it.
It has to be 10.6.1.14.8 or .10

Nexus One doesn't load past the multicoloured logo

Ok I have a massive problem here. Last night I decided to use the 1 click universal root app to root my phone and flash it to get CM.
I downloaded the app did the root, downloaded clockworkmod then did a clockworkmod recovery. After that finished i was given a pre-root option to backup my phone and wipe data/storage.
I only chose back up my phone. My nexus one then rebooted and proceeded to backup my phone then it went to install CM 6 RC2.. After this had finished it then rebooted and went to the multicoloured animation where the colours ceom from the left and right..
Here it would continuously loop and never do anythign else. With this I pulled the battery and loaded into recovery where I was in ClockworkMod. I then proceeded to use the recovery and as it was doing the recovery it just froze and the progress bar nor any words would come up.
From here I pulled the battery again did a soft/hard reset but it would hang on the loading animation again. I then did a wipe data/clean option and now it just hangs on the X logo.
On my sdcard I still have the clockworkmod folder with the backup, nandroid, system and all the other files as well. Vodafone Australia have no stock of the Nexus One at all and won't be getting anymore in since it's a finished product
I barely have any cash for a new phone and need to know asap what to do to fix this problem! If anyone can help!
When you installed Cyanogen CM6 did you install the proper baseband also or you just didn't write it down for us? If you had 2.2 on the phone before you rooted the baseband is ok for CM6.
Did you try hooking your phone with USB and try if ADB interface works? If your computer sees the phone via fastboot?
IF fastboot works, you could always restore your stock recovery and install a stock FRF91. (And then try again with CM6, this time installing the proper baseband AND WIPING like you should when installing CM6!!)
When installing custom ROMs always read the install instructions whole first then install.

[solved] OTA update (176.44.1) fails w/ CWM or ends in bootloop w/ stock recovery

Hi guys,
I'm running my Moto G 16GB on Kitkat 4.4.2 system version 175.44.1.falcon_umts.Retail.en.DE. Today it offered to download and install the latest OTA update (called 176.44.1.en.DE). I started the download and tried to install it.
After downloading the update was placed in /cache. The file name was 'Blur_Version.175.44.1.falcon_umts.Retail.en.DE.zip', which surprised me. I was expecting something like 'Blur_Version.176.44.1.falcon_umts.Retail.en.DE.zip'.
When I tried to install it without removing root and without going back to stock recovery it ended with a signature error in CWM. Installing the untrusted zip manually didn't work as well - as expected.
Then I tried to follow advise from other threads and went back to stock recovery (extracted from a full install package 'Blur_Version.175.44.1.falcon_umts.Retail.en.DE' - 444MB) That seemed to work and the install of the OTA update went fine before getting stuck on the boot animation on the first boot. It sat there for 10 minutes before I rebooted and restored a CWM backup.
I'm running out of ideas. Some say it's sufficient to go back to stock recovery temporarily. Others say you need to go back to full stock.
I have to repeat that I'm rooted and that I've de-activated a few unused apps (mainly harmless google stuff (hangout, search, music and so on) and Motorola Assist, Migrate and 'Context Services') .
Are there further findings about what stops the OTA from succeeding?
Many thanks in advance,
Kleo2

If your phone is rooted or there is a CWM installed or there is any change in system files then ota will fail till you flash stock rom. You can't just bring back stock recovery. You have to "delete" root as well.
There is some info http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=47495650&postcount=6
I will post my case here, I had the same problem, I had CWM and root and when I rebooted to update I get installation failed and boot loop.
Then I just flashed stock recovery (only) rebooted and now I already have the update installed

Hi, thanks for your replies. Because of your report and others, who state the same (installing stock recovery only to get the update working) I was hoping to get around going back to full stock. It always takes a lot of time to configure the phone the way it was configured before essentially wiping.
Just to repeat what I did: when I try to install the OTA while CWM is installed there's just an error message in CWM, the update fails, but the phone is working normally afterwards. It's just not updated.
When I try with stock recovery the update process finishes without errors, but the phone get stuck during the boot animation.
Maybe there's a way to fix the boot loop?
Looking forward to any suggestions
Cheers, Kleo2
I tried again and found a way without going back to full stock.
1. flashed stock recovery from full 175.44.1 image
2. let the phone download the OTA and restart to install it
3. ota install in stock recovery went fine
4. reboot -> stuck on boot animation again
5. flashed CWM and wiped cache AND dalvik cache
6. next boot took longer than normal but got past the boot animation
7. android optimized/cached my apps and then started normally
8. version is now 176.44.1 and the phone seems to work normally (after 30 minutes of usage)
Hope that helps someone and that I won't have issues going forward because I did it this way.
Cheers, Kleo2

I UPDATED my rooted Kitkat Tesco version SUCCESFULLY! and still rooted.
What I did:
1. install Motorola Device Manager (RESTART computer and telephone)
2. downloaded MotoTool
3. Made a Nandroid backup in CMW, made a backup with MotoTool too. Just in case
And deactived (did not uninstall) my Xposed framework modules (if you dont have it, you dont need to)
I have some system apps disabled, but didnt re-activate it. (was too lazy haha)
4. downloaded the correct ROM from: http://sbf.droid-developers.org/phone.php?device=14 (Tesco UK 4.4.2)
5. unzipped the ROM and rename and overwrite the recovery.img to the exact name as in the MotoTool All In One 2.6\Data\KitKat\StockKitKatrecovery.img (Just for sure it's the same as my ROM, I dont know if all the ROMs have the same recovery sooo )
6. started MotoTool, unplug&replug device. Checked KitKat option in the program, did a connection check, it was okay. Did a NORMAL restart via progam. You have to grant permisson on your phone.
7. after reboot, rebooted the phone to FASTBOOT.
8. Checked Stock Fastboot in the program, it flashed succesfully. Then I went into recovery (1×down volume, then 1× up volume) checked if the recovery was working. It was working (android logo+ no command error message)
9. reboot (long press power button)
10. Updeted OTA, settings/inf./update.. blabla okay okay next next. Wait until it downloads (only 7.9 MB )
11. wait for the update to be done, then it reboots, then apps are being updated. Everything looks fine and working
+1 flash CMW or other recovery again.
Hope this helps! I was afraid to do it too. I'm not used to MotoTool and other Motorola stuff because I had a HTC Desire, it was much simplier with that. But no risk here either! Good luck!
So I am trying to put back my stock recovery so I can take the OTA, but after I flash the recovery and try to reboot to it, it says "No Command". I have reflashed TWRP and then the stock recovery again with the same result. The phone itself will boot fine, but I can't install the OTA as it gets an error part of the way into the install. Any ideas? I have the 1034.
EDIT: Well I remembered I did the H+ mod, so after reverting that the OTA flashed I had Faux Kernel before hand, but after reflashing it my wi-fi wont enable, any ideas?
Thanks!

Wiping cache and dalvik cache did the trick for me. You saved my day
Please please help
I have the same problem. I've tried to update the new OTA and failed. After restoring full stock rom, the system simply doesn't boot!
I had Faux Kernel and GravityBox but I didn't revert anything. I thought that a full stock rom would clear all system settings.
This is my version of stock (Blur_Version.174.44.9.falcon_umts.Retail.en.GB) and I tried to flash it several times now. No success. I get stuck on the boot logo.
I tried to downgrade to 4.3 using version Blur_Version.14.71.8.falcon_umts.Retail.en.GB. I was able to boot and see the initial setup but I have no WIFI! I was trying to install 4.3 then try to update via OTA but OTA only works with WIFI so I'm stuck.
I also tried installing the 24th Feb nightly build of Cyanogen and the device also booted but with no WIFI.
I really don't know what to do! Please help me. I've tried other stock images out of despair but none with sucess.
Does anyone have a clue to what might be to problem and how to revert it?
Thank you

Before flashing stock ROM try to clear/format all your partitions with a custom recovery!
Sent from my XT1032 using xda app-developers app
I installed the OTA update using the CWM recovery but not root, I changed the update-script to not give error during installation

At part 8, I am getting an image of the android guy with his stomach open with a big red '!'. That's 'no command' right?
Any ideas? I have no idea what I am doing
Guys, a really easy way to update is:
1. Install Philz recovery - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2639583
2. Reboot and then download the OTA update when prompted - select Install when prompted
3. It will now reboot into Philz recovery, install the update and reboot
4. You'll see Android is Upgrading...
5. Re-boot back into recover and re-install faux kernel
I have just upgraded my XT1032 on 174.44.9 en GB (rooted + faux008) to 176.44.1 using this... worked like a dream! All I had to do was re-install faux kernel as that was overwritten by the OTA, but Root was in-tact...
i have root, twrp recovery and faux kernel, the problem is only faux kernel? Or I must remove all? (root recovery etc)

Root = bootloop on 5.0.1

Hi all,
So I'm far from a noob at at all of this (doing the custom android thing for years). But I'm not exactly constantly fiddling with my phone all the time anymore either. Basically I get a set-up that works for me, and I stick with it.
I've patiently been waiting to update to Lollipop. And today I did it. I did it by flashing the required factory images with fastboot.
AND IT WORKS. No problem. It boots. I go through the initial set-up. I can let it restore all my apps and passwords from the google servers, etc. So far so good.
My problem is that I cannot root. After I try, it bootloops (stuck at the Google splash, with my unlocked icon).
I tried to root before my first boot. I tried after the initial boot (before set-up and signing in). I tried rooting after setting it all up, and singing in, and letting google restore all of my apps. No matter which sequence I try, it will reboot a couple times at the first Google splash, and then fall back to Recovery.
(So, I'm on back on my rooted 4.4.4 nandroid, I think it's Mahdi Rom-- I forget)
Vital Stats:
Trying to install factory images of 5.0.1, all stock (system, boot (kernel), radio, bootloader)
Factory reset
(the above works fine)
TWRP 2.8.1.0
SuperSU-v2.40 (flashed via recovery)
Any ideas? Thanks for any help.
No, but could you try the previous version of SuperSU? Just to rule out the new version that I haven't tested please?
I updated to 5.0.1 earlier
Flashed all the img files exact userdata and then booted in to Android.
I then flashed TWRP 2.8.1.0 and used that to flash SuperSU 2.37
All that worked fine.. I then did a play update and SuperSU updated to 2.40
All working fine as far as I can tell. Apps needing root are working!

Try not doing that? When you go through the initial configuration, choose "Set up as a new device". Maybe the restore is somehow corrupting SuperSU?

It happens even if I try to root before setting anything up at all.
albert_htc,
Are you saying: I should also flash the stock recovery first. Then boot for the first time. Then re-flash TWRP. Then flash SuperSU.
I never flashed the stock recovery. TWRP was on already on it.
Thanks guys. I'll give it another rip (doing stock recovery, then flashing back to TWRP) sometime soon.

Yes, flash the factory image using the batch file so every partition gets re-flashed. Now I'm thinking maybe your recovery is corrupt.
Run flash-all.bat and when your device reboots, go through all of the initial configuration and download all of the Gapps updates. Once that's all completed, go ahead and route using TWRP. If you find yourself still having the same problem, try live booting TWRP to flash SuperSU.

I'm not going to flash over my user data, nandroids, app back-ups, etc. I'll stay with kit kat forever on my nexus 5 before I do that. Version numbers aren't that important. Hours wasted getting things set-up again are.
My recovery works fine. Both on kit kat and lollipop. My only problem is a boot loop when I flash SuperSU (via TWRP), on lollipop. I will try flashing stock recovery, though and then reflashing TWRP.

It's a tedious process, but it really isn't all that hard to back everything up to a computer, and you can do it easily with fastboot and a single command line.
Or what I'd recommend doing is just booting up, backing up all folders to a PC and then resetting and restoring later, backup apps with Titanium Backup (what I always do). A lot of us flashed factory images when Lollipop came out, so it isn't that bad once you start on the road.
Have you tried rooting from the bootloader via Chainfire's cf-auto root? I know I've read that sometimes rooting from recovery doesn't work properly, and that only certain zips will work. I've used the auto root each time (from stock fastboot flashing 5.0 & 5.0.1) with lollipop and it works fine. Link
Unzip and run batch file in bootloader. It will wipe everything if you haven't already unlocked bootloader (fastboot oem unlock). If you are already unlocked it won't wipe anything.

I just backed the /sdcard, to my PC. I just re-ran titanium.
I can deal with "/sdcard issues" from updating to lollipop easy enough. That's a 30 second fix. I can deal with setting up my email accounts to my email client app. I can deal with launcher settings, and all the other apps, widgets, etc. Those are things that I can slowly get back to where I want. They aren't critical. But yeah, very tedious.
I think "starting over" may be much more tedious for me than most people though. I run ssh servers and clients on all PCs, servers, and phones (disabling passwords and using rsa encryption keys for security). It's very nice, once I get it all set up in that I can access everything (from anything) very easily. I do need root for that though also.
But if I can't just hit a "restore" to get it all my ssh addresses, keys, fingerprits, etc back to where it was and then I have to: reverify new fingerprints, generate new keys, re-enable passwords to transmit new keys for everything, then disable passwords (for all machines) ... well... I just get very very grumpy.

Update process for OTA 3.1.1 on noOTA Shield?

Hi folks,
My NEW (RMA) Shield is rooted / TWRPed / 3.1 / and I applied the noOTA process to it so that they couldn't force-push some future undesirable OTA (or accidental bricking) at me.
Of course, as soon as I get settled in to the new unit with all apps and data where I want them, they do this new OTA.
What's the process for applying the latest OTA, given a rooted, TWRP recovery system? Do I just boot to TWRP, flash the full OTA, reflash noOTA, and be done? But wouldn't the full OTA kill TWRP, so I should reflash it?
Before I mess up this thing I want to make sure I get it right. I've got a PC so I can ADB/Fastboot sideload stuff if need. My main interest is in not messing up my data and apps.
Thanks
:highfive:

that's correct. this update in particular doesn't upgrade the recovery too, so TWRP won't be affected, but if you have an unlocked bootloader, you can just reflash TWRP at any time. for root, you might also want to flash SuperSU from TWRP (it will ask before rebooting if you don't install it yourself)
Thanks Bogdacutu.
I copied the full US LTE OTA 3.1.1 over to the internal memory (I used the downloads folder), rebooted to TWRP, and flashed it from TWRP. Before rebooting, to be safe I also flashed nomoreota.zip and then supersu.zip. On first boot I got the typical post-OTA "android is updating" thing where it optimizes the apps. Any idea what this app optimization is? I've always wondered... This app optimization process actually took longer than flashing the OTA and stuff.
After finishing the first boot, SuperSU told me it needed to update the binary, which failed. It suggested a reboot.
I rebooted normally (not going into recovery or anything first). This boot stayed on the NVIDIA boot up screen a lot longer than usual. after about 10 minutes like this I turned it off. After it was all the way off I turned it back on again. This time I let it go about 20 minutes. Still nothing past the NVIDIA boot screen. Crap.
I turned it all the way off. Rebooted with volume down button and was relieved to see it give the usual options (continue, recovery, fastboot, etc.). I let it go into recovery and got to TWRP in short order.
At this point I turned it off, as the battery was getting a bit low and I have to take my kid to a soccer game. I'm charging it in powered off mode until I get home.
Any ideas what to do next to get this thing booting into Android again?
Thanks

After it charged all the way up, when I got back from my kid's game, I booted back to TWRP and reflashed the OTA update.
I then told TWRP to reboot... it said something about should it reflash SuperSU script to preserve root. I agreed and let it reboot. It came back up in Android. I'll explore the situation and report back.
All seems well at this time.
According to rootcheck my root is preserved. SuperSU successfully updated binaries in normal (non-twrp) mode. Checked for system update. It said I was up to date. I booted back to TWRP, flashed nomoreOTA.zip again. Rebooted again, no problems. Back to normal, fully updated. Phew.
I'm not sure what went wrong the first time, but it seems OK now.

Bricked Shield (wifi) tablet after flashing 6.0 update

Last night, I downloaded the 6.0 update, copied the .zip to external storage, rebooted to CWM, and flashed it (successfully), then flashed SuperSU over it, cleared dalvik, and rebooted.
Since then, I'm stuck with the Nvidia boot screen. I can use Power/Vol Up to get in to fastboot, but when I try to boot back into recovery, the screen goes black, but goes back to the Nvidia boot screen instead of booting to recovery, even after flashing a recovery image to it via fastboot.
I can probably fix this with enough time and tinkering, but I just came back from a two week from vacation at work and don't have the time to futz around with this. Posting here in case someone already has an idea on what the problem is/how to fix this.
Update: I was able to get back into recovery using TWRP referenced in http://forum.xda-developers.com/shield-tablet/general/unofficial-update-original-shield-t3281541. Direct link is https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24345424848487676.
I'm thinking this is a kernel issue.
This was a kernel issue. Flashing a older OTA (http://ota.nvidia.com/ota/data/post...wf-full_ota-36442_589.1541.20150826095201.zip) and booting normally, then rebooting to bootloader and fastbooting the CWM image worked. I'm restoring from a backup I took before flashing the update last night, then flashing TWRP, backing up, and trying this all over again.
Thank you, I was having the same issue :good:
Have the exact same issue, except that now, for some reason, I can't even get the device to turn on!
