Hello,
So my brothers One Plus one is rooted and has an unlocked bootloader (Stock Rom) and I can't for the life of me figure out how to get the latest OTA update or probably any for that matter when it popped up saying system ready to update I choose yes and it restarts and boots into TWRP and then just says failed or whatever I have update CM recovery unchecked but nothing. So I manually downloaded the OTA update and then placed in on the phone went into twrp and tried flashing that way but just got failed and now when I go back into the device the phone says no updates are available whenever I check for them but yet the newest update is not there. So I have looked and can't really find any help on how to get OTA updates while rooted with an unlocked bootloader with TWRP using Stock rom.
Thanks,
Provide more information please, what is the exact error you get with the update fails to flash?

I'll have to get back to you on that the next time i see my brother he lives about 45 minutes away so it probably won't be until the weekend.
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.
I'm on the XT1540 and I got my OTA notification and went back to stock recovery (still rooted and unlocked bootloader) but it fails halfway through flashing everytime. I reflashed TWRP and captured the OTA into a zip but get an error about updating binary or something when flashing it. Is there something I need to delete from the OTA zip to allow it to flash in twrp?

You cannot update your systems software using the OTA update if you are rooted and have modified the system in any way as there are checks of original system during the auto update over the OTA. This means having the original recovery too. Wont work on TWRP or CWM. So no root and no custom recovery for OTA. Unlocked bootloader is okay.
In case you want to try the OTA update then what I have noticed on my XT1550 dual sim APAC version is that even unrooting it using the SuperSu unroot option is not going to help. In my case I could download the OTA and waited till it replaced the system software but got stuck midway of the boot animation.
I had to flash the 23.72-33 version of the stock ROM and opt for the OTA update. This time though I was successful.
Hope this info helps.
Yes, what arunhebbare says. you need to back up al your data and restore your stock firmware and than update via ota.
that is the best way of doing it

This...do a full factory image restore, then adb sideload the ota file. It's signed. TWRP can't install it.
Just use fastboot to flash the factory image for the version you want ... screw wiping your user partition like the above recommends.

This...I can't understand, for the life of me, why everyone is wiping userdata with fastboot....that wipes your android data, and internal storage in one shot. Cache erasing is another totally unnecessary step. All that's necessary, at the most, is a factory reset with TWRP to wipe the android data and both caches....but even that shouldn't technically be necessary for an update like this. It's not like this is the marshmallow update!!

@arunhebbare I've got the APAC version of the G3 as well, which ROMs are you flashing? I could only find images of the India version, did you use those?
hello everyone I just have a couple question regarding my honor 6x USA version. I am still stock MM 6.0 EMUi 4.1....
1. Will I receive ota updates if I have successfully unlocked bootloader and installed root?
2. I have also tried to back up my device via twrp and get a failed error. Is this caused by backing up the oem info?
1. Last time it didn't work for me. The update got downloaded, rebooted to recovery, but TWRP was unable to install it via the command from update app. So I did force-update and live happily...
2. You need to be more specific about the error. It's basicly a hard copy, so not much can go wrong.

The error occurred during the process of backing up data...Error 255 I also believe it said something about tar fork?

Hi. As the title suggests, today I ran into an issue regarding OTA update.
Recently I unlocked my phone's bootloader to use GCam Mod, but first I had to enable camera2api which I did by temporarily booting PB Recovery from fastboot and flashed the disable dm_verity.zip and then the camera2apienable zip. I rebooted the phone and the temporary PB Recovery was replaced by stock xiaomi recovery.
All was fine until today I received an update to MIUI 10.2.1.0. I downloaded the OTA from the updater and let it reboot for installation. Almost half-way through the update, the procedure halted with an error "ERROR APPLYING UPDATE" in the stock recovery. I've retried several times, even redownloading the OTA but ut gives the same error everytime. The fine boots fine afterwards, not being updated.
Since this is my first Xiaomi phone, I'm seeking a method to correctly update my phone to the latest version without screwing it up or being ended up bricked.
Any guide as to what I shall do so to update my phone (e.g. re-enable dmverity; flashing stock ROM?) will be highly appreciated. TIA.
I don't know how to re enable DM verity. But I ws on EU beta rom. I decided to install global beta rom. Then I installed it with MiFlash. Now I'm using global beta rom, and updated it half an hour ago without problems with internal updater.
I checked status of phone with fastboot command, and it shows DM verity: True.
Download the official tgz update and flash via fastboot (or MiFlash with the chance of relocking your bootloader).

Does updating via the MiFlash Tool also resets the device i.e. deletes all my installed apps or is it more like a doing a dirty flash? I know there are 3 options while flashing but I just want to know what the keep data option means. Thanks.
You aren't attempting to flash a different variation (i.e. Stable>Dev -or- Euro>China), but at the same time, you've altered the system, so a dirty flash probably won't work out. If you want to remain unlocked with your fancy GCam, avoid MiFlash altogether. I suggest looking into a MiGlobe ROM. They keep up with Stable stock OTAs and customization is optional. Good luck
