I check for software updates... sure enough... there is one... I download it... phone begins to install updates, then reboots. Upon reboot, I get an error message, "This device is suspected in rooting. Software update is not available for rooted device."
I've read through the unrooting thread... http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-lg-g3/general/unroot-return-to-factory-stock-att-lg-g3-t2820827 ... and I'll do this if I have to... and... are there alternatives to get the latest Android version installed?
And I supposed I should ask... why is AT&T denying me an update, potentially exposing me to malware, etc.
TIA

I have an unlocked T-Mobile G2 Touch (service provider O2), which I am trying to upgrade to 2.1. I am currently running 1.5 and have just updated to the 2.73.110.26 ROM which I downloaded and installed from HTC.
After installing this ROM upgrade i get a message asking me to do a software update, (which I understand from reading forums should complete the upgrade to 2.1), but shortly after confirming the update the handset turns off then turns on with what appears to be a warning display, (a triangle next to a presumably dead handset graphic).
I have left it like this for 20mins+ and nothing happens so i have tried the process again, (re-install 2.73.110.26 ROM, get prompt to update), still the same problem.
Does anyone have a suggestion? I can't help but think I am having this problem because I have an unlocked phone.
I should also point out that just before doing all of this I rooted the handset, (followed instructions from Unlockr.com). I had planned to use a custom ROM but if i'm honest it was daunting and so I thought i'd attempt the official update first.
I just received my OTA update this morning as a download.
Problem is, my G2x is rooted and in superuser mode with busybox installed.
I did not run NVFlasher or install a custom ROM.
If I allow this update (was able to delay for 4hrs) to run do I need to unroot or will the update just break root and everything will be ok?
I updated my phone with the kdz flasher while rooted, I doubt it would matter for you either. After the update you will be unrooted, of course.
I unrooted, went back to stock recovery and everything, got an OTA update this morning and did it, but it was validating software package and somehow I had gotten bad service and it said invalid software package, and now it keeps telling me "connection failed" or "current version is the latest" WTF?
I got my Xoom 2 unlocked from an electronics store rather than a carrier, so I'm not sure where I need to get the ICS update from. Whenever I check for system updates it just says "checking for available updates, please wait" indefinitely. It doesn't say there isn't an update but won't find one either.
System version
0.268.4.MZ616.Telstra.en.AU
Firmware
GAS_ASIA_TABLET1PASTUAUTEL_P021
The bootloader is still locked but I did root it, would that be the problem?
I have a z3 for t mobile rooted. Now when the z3 get's 5.0 from t mobile how would the ota work ? Would it work if i'm rooted ?
OTA should work if you did not alter the system files, even if your device is rooted, therefore, you "should be" able to retain root through OTA. When i say "altered" i meant removing any bloatware the from the original FW or any other modifications.

to my extent of knowledge, you wont be able to perform an OTA update since youve already removed the bloatware applications. if you want, you might have to perform a fresh start retaining the bloatware. Again, wait till the OTA update is there, try to update it, if it fails then fresh start it.
This is one of the reason why i would not root my device until Sony is done finish killing all the bugs, especially when Lollipop was just recently launched. That said, next time you can try to disable the bloatware if possible rather than completely removing them from the device system.
Hey guys,
I have the SAMSUNG-SM-N915A model number and the stock version Build number LMY47X.N915AUCS2C017 Baseband version on my phone. It works like a charm after spending days trying other stock build version I found online that had so many problems restarting the phone over and over. AT&T is trying to force a software update to 6.0 on my phone which simply wont work as the regular software update bricks my phone for some reason. Is there a setting I'm missing the just tells the phone not to accept any software updates from AT&T? I'm almost positive this update will screw weeks of tinkering and I finally got it working with 5.1.1. I want it to stay this way. Any ideas?
Thanks

Go to settings/security.
You'll find the update settings in there IIRC.
closest thing I see too that is "security policy updates option which is already check off for automatic updates. It seems to be the Device management that's always trying to download the software update and force update. Is this a hidden stock application?

Sorry I took so long getting back.
It's been a while since my 5.1.1 days.
Check in the section that says about device.
You should find your updates on/off listed in there.
You might want to turn off the cloud sync'ing settings as well.
