I got this phone from Craigslist, and the previous owner had rooted the phone. I downloaded the factory rom and de-rooted it using ODIN, so I thought I was golden. Now the ICS update is here and whenever I download the update rom, after the phone resets I get a message saying the installation was interrupted. What should I do? Also, I'm sorry if this isn't the right place to post. :silly:

Hi guys,
Just like other people I have also rooted my Note 3 and flagged/tripped the KNOX counter...
The issue first appeared when I was trying to upgrade from Android OS, v4.3 (Jelly Bean) to v4.4.2 (KitKat). The update notification popped, it took roughly 40 minutes to download the firmware and I was then prompted to install. The device then restarted automatically as usual and I received the "Failure to update" window. I have tried couple of times more in case something went wrong with the download but it didn't help. So I had to install the update manually from SamMobile, using Odin and wiping my phone data. Everything went well and I am now enjoying the KitKat version.
Today it seems a new update appeared around 26 MB and I am facing the same issue. After I download the update and hit install, the device will restart and then show the "Failure to update" window.
Is there any way to fix this? Does it mean I can never install the updates automatically?
Please advise and thanks in advance.

Oke, well you can`t install official updates when you are rooted (modified the system)! I suggest you download Mobile Odin Pro from Play and flash the whole new rom from www.sammobile.com and keep root.

Right, so I can just receive the updates but not install them! that's convenient
Do I have to wipe everything again or just install the latest update? Because if I have to wipe everything each time there's an update, I may just cancel the whole update thing until there's something like a major update

You don`t have to wipe as the updates atm are mostly bugfixes. Only wipe cache and dalvik cache after the flash.

Okay I think I got it, so each time there's an update I must download the whole ROM and flash it on top of the current? Since it's the same, it only updates the files that are needed while keeping the rest of the system intact.

by all means, if you're traveling to Canada then update away haha
Lmao wow. That's the most pitiful update ever. Seriously, couldn't they have waited until there was something more substantial and then included Canadian roaming in THAT update. As always though, Verizon is dumber than a bag of hammers...

Hey guys, I have a question about this update,
My friend has the S3 for whom I safe- rooted, debloated and whatnot. Now that this update came, my friend tried to update but to no avail. She is adamant about the fact that Verizon definitely has something important hidden in the update, despite me trying to tell her otherwise, and figured that she couldn't install the update because she was rooted.
Naturally, I fully unroot her entire phone, uninstall root-only apps, and try the update, but it doesn't work. When the phone reboots for installation, the installation bar loads for a bit,hangs, then just says "error" and does not update.
Anyone know what the problem could be? Normally I wouldn't care so much, but if Android 4.4 is actually coming to the S3 then I don't want her not to have it, and I can already tell it's not going to work if this update doesn't either.
Thank you so much in advance.

Some of the bloatware you removed likely had to be present on the phone in order for the update to take place. Unless you are sure someone is never going to go back to stock without flashing an ODIN tar image and wiping their phone clean, best to just freeze bloatware with Titanium Backup. That way you can just unfreeze it in order to go back to full stock. Unless you have a list of the bloatware you removed and can somehow sideload them back in, you will unfortunately have to flash her phone to full stock VRUCML1 and wipe it clean.

Ah, I see, next time I'm around her I'll re-root it and backup all her stuff with titanium backup, flash the VRUCML1 and factory reset, then restore everything and see if it works.
Strangely enough, when the same update for my Verizon Note 2 came out, I was able to update while rooted even though I unsinatalled theexact same system apps I did on her phone. How strange.
Nonetheless, thank you so much.
I have a question for you all. I took the OTA update for 4.3 when it came out but after that I rooted my gs3 Verizon phone again successfully. Now I also took this last update and now lost root on my phone. I tried to reroot the phone but it fails now. There error I get on safestrap is something about the addresses not being able to be found. Can anyone help me reroot my phone so my apps like titanium will work again?
Thanks

TWRP & Flashify work with this?
Sorry for my noobie question, but I rooted back in April with WeakSauce & TWRP and also installed Flashify. I am fuzzy on what I did and now, I am afraid of bricking my phone through ignorance.
Can I use these files to upgrade to 4.4.3 on my Verizon HTC One M8? If so, what is the most straightforward way to do this? Can I use Flashify or TWRP to load the OP6ZBIMG.ZIP file?
Thanks
I was able to get back to stock by following this guide I found here: http://www.bane-tech.com/how-to-return-htc-one-m8-verizon-to-stock-s-on-relock-bootloader-unrootuninstall-supersu/
Everything worked great until the final step of removing SuperSU. I was unable to remove SuperSU using all methods I could find. It remains as a system app, but I am no longer rooted.
My intentions were to return it to stock for the warranty screen replacement by HTC, so I took the risk and hid SuperSU in the app drawer and sent it in for the warranty work. It came back fixed and factory reset, but SuperSU was still there. I still wanted to return my phone to a complete stock experience in case I need to return it to Verizon, so I took a risk of taking the OTA released in September, thinking it would wipe SuperSU out of the system apps. Somehow, the OTA left SuperSU in tact. I also noticed that the stock camera app was limited to only camera or selfie mode. Video, Zoe and the others weren't able to be accessed. Has anyone else experienced these issues, or have any recommendations for fixing them? I am considering taking the HTC Eye OTA due soon from Verizon, hoping that will fix my problems, but I'm not too confident since the last OTA didn't work as expected.

That's because that is a crap guide. You turned s on before removing su which turned on /system write protection and basically write protected your su app.
You must remove su after locking bootloader and making sure all is well with lock and tamper status. You should only turn s on AFTER this is all verified.

Su doesn't matter. You are going to need it to fix your problem. Did you make changes (like hotspot hack) to the default.xml file?
Actually. An easy way to fix it is to either flash a totally stock Rom or flash the official ruu i I have posted in the non dev section. It doesn't wipe and would put you back to 100% stock and let you take the ota

I'm on complete stock (not even rooted) and I've been having this problem for a while. I found out that sometimes when it happens, I can fix it by restarting my phone, but it goes back to being broken soon after. I noticed that it started to happen after I installed the Google now launcher, leading me to believe that it's a ram problem (and hence restarting will help) so I uninstalled a bunch of useless apps and now I use about 1g ram at idle, and the problem still persists.
This morning, I updated with the new OTA (4.4.4 and HTC Eye) and the problem is still here. If anyone could help, it would be greatly appreciated.

You are s on too right? If so I don't have an option for you yet. Your system files are write protected which means the most you can do is clear data for the app or factory reset. Are you using an SD card and if so does it make a difference which storage location you use?
Hi! I'm new here... Hope I'm in the right place, but I've been having problems with my GS5. I rooted it using towelroot about 3 months ago which was successful, then a Verizon system software update was pushed and installed to my phone, and that somehow installed fine, but now root checker says my phone isn't rooted and towelroot says my phone isn't supported... For months now my phone has been trying to install the 4.4.4 update with no luck, when it reboots and is in the middle of installing with the little android dude with his chest open, it says 'error'. Has there been a fix or way around this? Any way I can completely factory wipe everything?

Verizon may of patched the towelroot exploit with the new update. Have you tried posting this in the VZW S5 forums?
From my CM11 S3
Towel root is dead for firmwares newer than June 2014. You can try chainfire for root. If t he 4.4.4 firmware isn't updating, try flashing with Odin.
