I had downloaded what I thought was the latest stock AT&T factory software for the phone, rooted it, installed TWRP, and got a notification for an OTA. Being so used to my old phone, I just told it to download (Had a Galaxy S4 Active which would just fail to update and reboot to Android). I found out how to get my device to boot again by using the TWRP Command Shell (Thank goodness there was such a way! I have so many pictures on my phone that I hadn't backed up yet!).
So it's back to the stock rooted w/ TWRP. What's the easiest way to get to the latest software so that I'm not nagged by AT&T and eventually it makes me download the OTA making it a paperweight until I type in that long command from the TWRP Shell.
Software Information:
Android Version 4.4.2
Baseband Version: M8974A-AAAANAZM-1.0.190082
Kernel Version: 3.4.0
Build Number: KOT49I.D80020k
Software Version: D80020k
Or is the firmware update coming up because TWRP is installed? I thought the method to install it downgraded something on the phone. I was on 4.4.2 when I did all the software modifications.

Hi -
I'm trying to install the latest update from AT&T. I had previously tried rooting after going back to the default rom, and still have ClockworkMod Recovery v5.0.2.6 installed. When I download the update and reboot the phone, I get taken to this bootloader instead of giving me the option to install the update. When the phone finishes rebooting, the following message is displayed: "The software could not be updated at this time" My brother said I have to flash, but I'm not sure I know exactly what he meant. (is that just for the bootloader?)
Thanks in advance

Read carefully and you'll be fine. I was new at flashes toi

Pretty sure you need to be on the stock 3e recovery and not Clockwork
Thanks!
So I need to use Odin to return my phone to stock to fix this?

I have a Nexus S that I bought new from Future Shop in Canada. I'm with Telus Mobility as my cellular service provider. When I bought the phone, it was running Gingerbread 2.3. I rooted the phone and flashed CyanogenMod 7 on it, but I had stability problems, so I flashed back to the official ICS image from the XDA forums. I've had no problems with the image, but just yesterday the Android 4.1.1 (Jellybean) System Update has shown up on my phone as being available for OTA update. When I clicked Restart & Install, the download ran fine, but when it restarted to do the install, it booted to the android and exclamation point. I had to do a battery pull to get it to boot, and then it just booted back to 4.0.4. I've tried the OTA updatemultiple times, but it still fails. Can anyone help me figure out why the OTA updateis not working?

I would do this. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=29073020&postcount=1
Just make sure you are choosing the right stock for your phone i1920A I assume. Factory Images "sojua" for Nexus S (850MHz version, i9020a)
This should clear it up. Then get the 1 MB update. Then do this to get 4.1.1 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=29067584&postcount=2817
Thanks. That's exactly the information I was looking for. It turns out the problem was Clockwork Mod Recovery v5.0.2.0. It seems to have been causing problems with the OTA update.
I purchased my Moto G (unlocked, 4.4.4) from Amazon. It was a Telus CA phone. I rooted the phone and installed CWM recovery. Last night, I got notification from Telus that 5.0 update was available for download. I downloaded it and tried to install. It kept failing for the same reason - Moto Blur version did not match. Update script repeated itself (installation) for 3 to 4 times then it stopped. So far, my phone is still at 4.4.4 and not rooted. Here is my phone's information:
Android version: 4.4.4
Baseband version: NSM8626BP_1032.390.81.01P, TELUS_CUST
Kernel: 3.4.42-gb7b2f25 [email protected] #1 Tue Jul 15 14:12:39 CDT 2014
System: 210.12.50.falcon_umts.Telus.en.CA
Build Number: KXB21.14-L1.50
New version (5.0) available for download: 220.21.32.en.CA
Is there anyway to skip the Moto Blur version check so that update can be installed ?
Thanks,

Problem solved by flashing stock recovery. I was using CWM recovery. Update via OTA without problem.
Do you have a link of where to get stock recovery and how to flash it?
The stock recovery is contained in the xml.zip file. The recovery can be flashed using fastboot or mfastboot commands.

Here is the link where I got the stock firmware : http://www.filefactory.com/file/z4r...4.4.4_KXB21.14-L1.50_52_cid14_CFC_1FF.xml.zip
Unzip the .zip file and flash stock recovery using fastboot.
Hey guys,
I am currently on the 4.4.4 stock rom with the latest Code Blue kernel (Built 450). In addition my phone has an unlocked bootloader, is rooted, got CWM Recovery and has Xposed installed.
Now I want to upgrade to the latest Lollipop version. I always get the notification "A systemupgrade is available" in the notificationbar.
So my first question is: Can I simply upgrade my phone from a stock KitKat rom with a costum Kernel to Lollipop via OTA?
If not, should I "just" flash the latest Lollipop rom via ADB or CWM?
Thanks, and every answer is appreciated!
No one?
I recommend this
In short, if you are already rooted / unlocked bootloader etc, there is no point in using OTA update.
I have a new D850 that I want to flash my backup from my other D850 onto. The new one is:
Code:
Android version
5.0.1
Baseband version
MPSS.DI.2.0.1.C1.13-00058-M8974AAAAANPZM-1
Kernel version
3.4.0
Build number
LRX21Y
Software version
D85021r
Security software version
MDF v1.1 Release 3
So my goal is to get TWRP onto it, ideally 2.7.8.0 as that's the one on my old phone I made the backup from, but any version will do.
What are my options? My understanding is that:
I need root to install TWRP
D850 10F and above cannot be rooted currently
However, it is possible to downgrade... and then root?
Do I really need to go through all of that just to flash my backup? Is there a simpler way to get TWRP loaded?
If not... can someone explain the downgrade process? I see hyelton's guide, but I'm so very confused as to which of the methods (LGUP, KDZ, TOT) apply to my situation – D850, downgrading from 10R to something rootable – and which files I'd actually need... :S

I've already responded to your post while back ;p Only the tot method is available for the D850 as stated.
