People i know haven't even unlocked their bootloader
But can't update?
me too, have the same problem.
I'll just flash the 4.4.4 EU image for my XT1032...
and I'll do the same thing for when lollipop comes around
Its look like you must reset factory then direct updating your firmware..
have you unroot and relocked your bootloader?
Try restoring to stock: Flash 4.4.3, go to stock recovery and try to make the update search, if this is not working do a clean flash (wipe cache+userdata) and try to update, some time ago i noticed that cannot update the firmware of my 4.4.2 because the cmw recovery, then wiped cache and intalled stock recovery and everything went fine
To receive OTA updates device should be only on stock recovery no cmw, no twrp. Try to install stock recovery with fresh stock rom, and remember to enable any disabled system apps (if any) like Motorola services, Motorola OTA, then only you will able to receive and install updates....
You need the stock recovery

Hi!
I rooted my Nexus few months back from now with Fastboot recovery. I got my Android ICS update 4.0.4 last week, I tried downloading it, I downloaded it, then it said rebooting for install. But my Nexus S freezes at Google logo with my unlocked lock sign. I have tried installing it many times, but all in vein.
Please somebody help!

If you're rooted, why dont you just use the rooted method to install the update. Someone made the update flashable. Its in the development section.
either way, pull the battery to see if you still have your recovery(volume up and power button)... if so, then restore to your latest restored point, hoping that you did make a backup
Then download the newest ICS update and just flash it the rooted way.
But if you insist on the official, unroot and then get the update via stock recovery method
good luck
Are you using the latest version of CWM?
If you've got a modified system image (including root), you should not use official upgrade packages. If you want to update the rooted system, you can use unofficial packages (in CWM). To boot a system, please start your recovery and flash a proper (4.0.4, unrooted or rooted, signed or unsigned) system image. If you erase the data partition all of your data is lost!
If you have stock recovery, then only signed images can be flashed. To be able to flash unsigned images you'll need CWM, which can be flashed through fastboot.
By the way official firmware can be downloaded from Google. Important! All of your data (including USB storage area) will be lost after the full upgrade with fastboot!
Hi xda,
Can anybody help me in updating my shield to the latest update 72? I have a rooted NVIDIA Shield on (I believe) update 68, Android 4.3 Jelly Bean. I have clockworkmod recovery installed as the bootloader. Upon downloading the update and hitting restart, it brings up CWM and asks if I want to flash the update zip it downloaded, click yes, says root may have been lost - fix? click yes/no, doesn't matter I've tried both and then it boots right back up and says the system update is still available. SO it's obviously not installing correctly.
Can anybody help me out? Is it possible to install the OTA update with CWM, or do I have to restore the default android bootloader? And if so, do I also have to unroot? Factory reset? What would be the easiest way of updating?
Thanks in advance, I'm loving my Shield!
You will need to revert to the stock recovery before you perform the update, as CWM cannot do it for some reason.
If you are not using CWM features outside of rooting, you might prefer this rooting method which does not require installing it so you can just do OTA upgrades without worrying:

Failed OTA with a twist...
I also tried the OTA with a rooted/CWM Shield and failed. However, I found this thread and reverted to stock recovery as instructed. But now, it says there are no updates available, and still reports I'm running 4.3. So how do I get it to update?

I actually had the same problem as you after reverting back to stock recovery. The only solution I could find was to 1) Backup everything on my Shield and 2) Factory reset. After factory resetting, the OTA update was detected, and installed flawlessly. I'm now on 4.4 Kit Kat, stock recovery, and am in the process of restoring all my apps and then re-rooting.

Just an update:
After going back to stock recovery, factory resetting for the OTA update to detect, installing it, restoring all my apps, and re-rooting using the method above, everything is running great. Future OTA updates with ease as well as being able to have root access!
Hello
I run stock rom with twrp
I download the update and then i tap to install it
It reboot my phone into recovery mode without updating it
Then i reboot my phone and i realize that the update was lost
It says me that my phone is updated(thats not true)
What can i do?
Maybe i can flash the update because i downloaded it and probably it is somewhere in my device?
Please help me
Thanks
Assuming you are rooted (since you mentioned TWRP), you cannot install updates to Lollipop - because your system partition is modified. You will need to be completely stock if you want to take OTA.
P.S. The update is 5.0.1, not 5.1
I was in the same condition, I flashed a stock lollipo android 5 with is home kernel, no root and with unlocked bootloader but the result is not changing. When the 5.1 update pop appears I confirm dowbload, I confirm installation but when reboot in recovery a very fast fake installation runs on error and then stop on home twrp immage.
Please any flashable pure stock will probably be easier.
Thanks
Sorry jj14 I confirm update is 5.0.1

Backup your apps and other files on your phone and just flash the 5.0.1 factory image, reroot and restore your user apps and you`re done.
Could you please upload a stock .zip file 5.0.1 that I could flash from recovery??

Hi,
I have a UK Moto G (2013) running 4.4.4 KitKat and I installed CWM recovery and rooted it some time ago. Now they are pushing out Lollipop OTA I am getting nagged by the phone to update - but, it always fails when I try. Presumably this will be because of the CWM and/or root. I tried a full unroot but that didn't help as CWM kept complaining on the upgrade reboot about something (can't remember what now!). I've read that in order to get the OTA update to work, I have to get the phone completely back to stock, but I can't find a working stock recovery for it. Do I have to take it back to stock or not ? Either way, would anyone know how I can get the OTA update to work please ?
I've tried flashing a couple of stock recoveries, but one fails to flash at all and the other doesn't work - you choose recovery and it just reboots the phone.
At the moment it's back to rooted, unlocked bootloader and CWM recovery.
Any help you could offer would be very gratefully received.
Thanks!
Are you able to locate the phone's from here: http://www.filefactory.com/folder/c6cdedc45a775d27/?sort=filename&order=ASC&show=100&page=1
Ok I had a notification on the Moto G that there was an official Lollipop update available , along with a prompt to download 23.21.17 ( see attachments )
I initially tried upgrading from a rooted stock version of UK tesco firmware/Rom .
The firmware update started and the phone booted into a boot-loader ( with android image laying down ) The firmware update started , However this firmware update failed around halfway and the phone simply booted back into kitkat firmware/Rom
I then suceeded in re-flashing a stock UK KitKat ( 4.4.4) retail rom , then unrooted the Moto G , so theoretically the phone is stock but boot-loader is still unlocked .
I suspect the phone recognizes the boot loader is unlocked and fails to complete the update process
IS there a possibility this is an incorrect update ? I have not seen officail confirmation of lollipop for UK peregrine XT1039 yet which makes me suspicious of the new lollipop update on phone . Could this be due to me using Hola VPN ?
Please advise
Bump
I guess this means I have to update the unofficial way ?

Reflash stock ROM, and stock recovery. Ota will not update if the phone is rooted (even unrooted), if the system files are changed (xposed) or if the recovery isn't stock. So, basically, you can't use twrp, Cwm, etc. You have to be COMPLETELY stock.

Does it matter that the phone has been unlocked ? I mean an unlock code was used so it could acccept any sim card . Does that mean I have to reflash Tesco Firmware Rom , or would retail firmware ROM be ok ?
