what's the failure message? Also, can you run something on your phone before you do the upgrade?

@OP
I didn't get enough information as to why the firmware upgrade was failing. I was also going you could pull an xml fastboot for me from your existing setup if you are still rooted.
Please download this software https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.tranquilice.toolbox and make an xml backup of you're current phone. I also want the XML backup but it it's very large, so you should break it up into 100mb files using 7 zip and re-compress it. Then post it to your Dropbox. Don't worry this backup doesn't have any personal data.
Then you can download the update file from my Dev-host account here :
http://d-h.st/JNV
And save the file to your external sdcard.
Boot into recovery, then try to apply the update from sdcard, and write down exactly all the information it says (maybe take a picture of it using another camera). And send me all the information.
How to boot into recovery:
1) Power off phone completely
2) press and hold both volume buttons and at the same time press the power button.
3) use the volume down button to navigate the the recovery option, then press volume up.
4) an Android on the side will appear, now tot can proceed with updating
How to apply update in recoveyr mode:
1) press and hold both volume buttons while pressing power button
2) a menu will appear, use the volume buttons to navigate and the power button to select the option to update from external sdcard
3) find the update file and press the power button on it.
4) watch the update, if it fails please tell me all error messages, hopefully tot can take a picture for me.

failed to upgrade to Jelly been
I have a fido motorola razr hd lte and rooted. I tried several times upgrading to Jelly Been using OTA and all failed.
Then I followed steps above and still failed.
I have actually uninstalled some default apps like SMS, file manager etc.

Thanks for help in advance!

Did you try to modify the update package? It looks like the update package doesn't have the same signature as it should.
Do not try to open up the ZIP file provided, just place it on the external SD card without touching it.
If you get another error after that, please the new error.

I'm having the same problem cause I deleted the bloat ware from my Rogers phone. From what I've been reading, I'm thinking about just staying on the 4.0.4.

I have actually followed your 7 zip packages from the other post and upgraded my phone to 4.1.2 Rogers stock version, it loads with Rogers logo, but other than that, everything works. Thanks a lot.:good:
The only issue is that I have all rogers one number, one contact... apps and every time reboot has rogers logo. Is it possible to have fido one?

i cant even get into recovery lol...............

"FDR" -> Factory/Full Data Reset does not replace applications that have been deleted.
The only way to fix is to put them back or RSD/Flash back to stock.
I hate these threads.
People remove apps and wonder why the upgrade doesn't work.
Don't remove factory applications, freeze/disable them!!!!!
Removing them will remove the ability to upgrade until the OS is back to stock.
The installer checks to make sure that the system and application area is untouched.

Just updated the thread here with the link. I didn't want to start a whole new thread or have it get lost in another thread.

I just bought my phone from Swappa. It's currently rooted,TWRP and running D80120a.
I received OTA update notification last night.
Will I loose root if I allow it to install?
If so, how can I ignore it and disable the notification?

If you're rooted with TWRP, the OTA won't install, at least it didn't for me. I clicked on the OTA and it rebooted into TWRP, but nothing installed. Rebooted the system, the OTA was gone, and I was still on 20a. You will lose root if you install the 20e, but you can re-root with TowelRoot and I believe you can get TWRP back with AutoRec (I used TowelRoot, but not AutoRec). From my understanding, if you use AutoRec, you will lose Knock Code.

So I tried to update and it went through the process. Even seen the little green android saying installing update . phone rebooted still had root access and about phone is showing the "a" version. Checked for update again and it said phone up to date. This doesn't seem right

I'm guessing you don't have a custom recovery? I had TWRP and the green android was on for a split second before TWRP started and it didn't update. I think if you're rooted, you have to update via the support tool or the pc suite. To get root back, use towelroot. Backup your data, but you should be able to keep everything on your phone if you don't wipe/reset.

Cool thanks!

The only thing keeping me from getting this phone is lack of root and the locked bootloader. However, I might be able to survive without a custom ROM if I can at least have root.
Would I have to buy this phone ASAP in order to use this root exploit before Verizon/Samsung try to patch it? If they do patch it, would there be a way to downgrade to a vulnerable version of the OS so I could apply this root in case I don't get the phone before they patch it?

Will adaway trip Knox?
Once I root using this method if I install adaway will it trip Knox?

Has anyone been able to do the "switch to supersu" part? I'm wondering if it can be done on a mac?

No, you will not. Unless something touches the bootloader or recovery partitions, you're fine.

It was pretty easy on my Win8.1 laptop. Although, one command toward then didn't work for some reason. It just gave me a permission denied error. The process still worked and I'm on Supersu now without any problems.

EDIT: I seem to have it almost working, but when I try to push SU to my device it says my device is not authorized and to check the confirmation on my device. There is no confirmation on my device. Debugging is checked. A serial number (my device) appears in the cmd prompt when I run "adb devices". What am I missing?
EDIT2: I just unchecked/rechecked usb debugging and I got the prompt to authorize. Everything is working now

I've had my S6 since close to noon today. Nice device.
Now the confusion..
I have been waiting for an OTA to get to OC3 but now I'm not sure I don't already have a newer build than that??
Under build number I've got: LRX22G.G920VVRU1AOE2
I am guessing this is newer than LRX22G.G920VVRU1AOC3 which is in a lot of recent posts.
Edit
well yes I have the newest already. Just used PingPong root to root it. Had to do it a couple times before it took but works great.

Sure, when the process is complete you will have root and when you reboot the phone it will say custom on the slash screen.
Other than that it is still a little fuzzy.

OF1 has the patched kernel and cannot be rooted nor can it be downgraded back to AOE2 or AOC3

Is there root available? the same exploit used for sprint?

Unfortunately, people who has 5.0.1 rooted stay away of 5.1.1 ota because you can get bootloop.
We need a stock system backup from 5.0.1 unrooted, so when I can update, I will root it

I don't think we will ever see that fixed the right way. I'm 99% convinced it's a hardware issue.

My update is running now. Agree the update is pretty big. If this fixes battery drain, no need for root for me.... Between package disabler pro + runtime permissions, not much is needed anymore for root. The only thing is some are saying if you use package disabler pro, there can be more battery issues than not because the OS tries to reference those disabled packages. I'm not sure how that would be any different though if you froze them with titanium backup or something

I installed the update. My phone rebooted and after I log in it goes to a black screen that says "Installing applications" with a progress bar that never shows any progress. Not sure what is going on and how to get back to my launcher. When I select the recent apps button I can see my recent apps and interact with them. It is just the launcher and pull down notification shade that are not running so I can't launch anything else.
Any ideas how to fix it?

The last paragraph says it all. If someone is working on an exploit to unlock the bootloader in it's current state, and you take the update, * After updating , you will not be able to downgrade to the old software because of updates to the security policy. * Then you would need to wait for the next exploit to come out to get past the new security updates.

Whatever, the phone is great stock with package disabler. Only thing I might want root for is unlimited tethering.
