So I've had my m8 rooted and unlocked since I got it last year... And have had a custom ROM flashed to it for the same length... I vaguely remember having to do something special when kit Kat 4.4 released in order to install as the updater in my setting could only download and not install... With the new lollipop being out... I'm having an issue as I don't remember what I needed to do any suggestions or links is appreciated..
Also.. my daughter playing w my phone one day managed to encrypt my phone storage and even trying a factory reset will not make it unencrypted... Any ideas on that ?
No one has any ideas?
i finally figure it out.. had to flash an updated FUU that returned it to stock etc.. this thread can be deleted

Updated to JB back in January and since then I was very disappointed with decreased performance and lag.. even factory reset did not help...
So I have made decision to flash back to ICS 4.0.4.. Everything went fine and my Note is like new The only problem is that it auto downloaded JB update again and it's nagging me every couple of hours to upgrade (which I obviously don't want to do).
ICS doesn't seem to have option in settings to disable updates.. Or at least I am not able to find it...
Could somebody hint me how can I delete downloaded JB firmware update and stop Note from downloading it again?
Thanks

ps: I was trying to find similar topic here on the forum but failed to find solution.

I don't know if this will work but if you just root your tab, samsung update will see it's modified and you never get updates again.
If you later wanna do updates just use odin.
Hope that helps...
Got a notification this morning that there was a new update available for KitKat. I do not know what the update is as I postponed it. I am currently running KitKat 4.4.2 Kernel version 3.4.0. The build is D80020c. I am rooted. I have no other information except that it shows that an update is pending but it will not tell me what the update is and I do not know where to find out what it is.
Anyone have any ideas as to what this is? I am concerned because the last time an update rolled out, it soft bricked my rooted phone.
I spoke with tech support at AT&T and they claim that they do not know what it is and suggested that I call LG for an answer.....

Don't install it, it jacked up my phone. I was running the rooted mixed partition D80020c and I can't boot or get into download mode now. All I get it a constant reboot back to recovery. Cannot install another ROM, cannot restore a backup. My daughter was playing with my phone and pushed to continue with the install and now I'm trying to unscrew it.

Is there any way to force a not install or deny it? The only option I have is to postpone the install and after 4 hours, it will run again and continue to run every 4 hours unless I find a way to break the cycle. How do I force a no install option?
That is what happened to me last time with the "q" update. I postponed the install (no option to not take it) and it installed itself after 4 hours when I left my phone on one night. I woke up to a bricked phone.....

I don't know how to permanently disable the update, but I'm sure there's a way. As info, I was able to easily fix my phone with the help of this thread posted by @thecubed: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2451696. I didn't read it all, but this might be what disables the update.
I'm not rooted. I took the latest update and all is fine. It's google+ fixes and Google wallet support. It actually let me set up tap & pay! I'll have to go somewhere to try it out.

I got the notification too but figured that it would probably screw things up since I'm rooted and running TWRP so I did a little searching and came across this, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=50454408&postcount=3 . It's been a few hours since I changed the setting and haven't seen the update notification again although AT&T pushed the update into CACHE/FOTA sometime this morning.
Well scratch that, the notification just came back. I'll try freezing it now.
Well if rooted just use TB to freeze software update. I am also running a mixed partition D80020c. I am on Straight Talk AT&T. Before rooting I tried taking the official OTA of KitKat but for some reason you can't enter an APN type so I couldn't get or send MMS. So I flashed back to the D firmware,rooted,added custom recovery,entered the APN type and then flashed the modified C firmware. You could also use Root Freezer instead of Titanium Backup to freeze
Phone: Motorola Moto G XT1032
OS: Android 4.4.4
Let me start by saying that I am new here, and I am not sure if this is the correct place to ask for help, but here I go anyway...
I am in desperate need of assistance. Against all better judgment, I rooted my phone a few months ago and now I am in a "pickle" so to speak. I recently recieved the Android 5.0.2 OTA Update notification. I have attempted multiple times to install this update but each and every time I do so, it returns me (after rebooting) a message along the lines of "software update was unsuccessful". I have sifted through some posts online with no avail. I am not the best person when it comes to my phone, however I do know how to get around on a computer.
I guess I should also add that I read somewhere that the phone must be un-rooted before attempting to upgrade, however, I have alrady attempted to do so with the "Full Unroot" option in SuperSu, but the only thing that seemed to have happened is the app is now deleted.
Another thing, I only rooted my phone and did not install any of the recovery programs like CWM or TWRP. This is stock android and no Custom ROM.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, as I have been waiting for Andoid L for a very long time and am very upset that I am having all these issues trying to use it.
Thank you for listening and look forward to seeing if anyone can help me.

What you may try to want to do is to find the factory stock image online for which ever version you have and run it then upgrade to each new version till you get to lollipop update. Yes you will lose all of your data but if lollipop is what you want that is probably what your gonna have to do. Every time a factory update is available on Motorola before it does the update it will check for every app and checks file system and recovery. Anything out of the ordinary and it will usually not upgrade it. So if I was you look for the stock factory image of 4.4.4 and update to lollipop 5.0.2.
Alternatively flash a custom recovery, TWRP or Philz Touch, and then do a factory reset and flash one of the zips in this collection:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g/development/rom-stock-motorola-lollipop-rom-t3017510
Less risk and you keep your photos etc.
I had to restore back to stock because I messed something up and it went fine, but it says server unavailable when trying to get the OTA for lollipop. Anything I am missing?
tried with att sim, data only, wifi connected...tried factory resetting again.
any help would be greatly appreciated.
thanks
Same here. Right in the middle of resetting so I can start on a new ROM/Kernel based on stock 21q w/21q kernel sources too. I just got done bugging LG for them to release updated source for the AT&T D850 and they finally did a few days ago.
Could mean a new update is coming, or more likely someone at AT&T pushed the wrong button and no one knows about it yet. lol
(edit: update server back online, it was down for several other devices I tried also.)
I couldn't wait to get the 5.1.1 update in the usual way. So I asked google to find update. I found a cm12 bacon download. I Neva done this before so I just downloaded n installed this bacon update. I think I flashed my device by mistake bcoz afta my phone bricked. I managed to unbrick my Oneplus one n now in about phone in the settings it says I'm running 5.1.1 lollipop. But my problem is I had to reset my phone for a different reason n afta reset it still says in about phone in running 5.1.1 lollipop but it's not displaying lollipop on phone is just like it was wen I first bought the phone. I want to know what do I do next?? Oh n also phone keeps asking me to do system update to 5.1.1 , I've tried but obviously phone doesn't recognize I've already done this update early so wants to update to 5.1.1 again. So what next?? For example do I have to root phone now so I can get 5.2 running on phone or what ??? Please help I am new to all this n haven't got a clue what I am doing???

There is nothing called 5.2
Just ask in this sub-forum's Q&A, Help and Trouble-shooting section for further help specific to your phone: One Plus One - XDA Forum
I'm a bit confused. If you installed an official ROM through the stock recovery, your probably OK. Maybe there is a newer 5.1 release than the you installed.
