Hi All,
After reading many threads onto how to get the latest OTA update on my Tablet, here are my final conclusion to get latest OTA update on your Tablet if you are already rooted\unlocked\running TWRP recovery.. [i have tried almost all other methods and they did not seem to work with me]
Here is what i have before starting:
1) Rooted
2) Unlcoked bootloader
3) TWRP recovery
Before starting this process, please backup your system and recovery via TWRP recovery..
FIrst, in order to get the update you will need to revert back to stock recovery.. there is a thread already on this subject in this forum, however, i did a different approach here....
1) download the OTA update for .26 from ASUS support page
2) extract the .zip file for the build and store it in your tablet [sdcard of external card]
3) reboot the tabled into TWRP recovery...
4) select install and browse for the extract file
5) install and reboot.
[this is a very easy process that does not require any terminal commands and worked like a charm]
at this point, your tablet will have stock ROM and stock recovery installed [ you will also lose root access] all your apps before this will remain installed, so, no worries about that...
After this point, you are ready to install .30 OTA update.. here is what i did..
1) Download the OTA update for .30 from ASUS support page
2) extract the .zip file for the build and store directly into the root folder of you tablet
3) reboot the tablet and start again into Android
4) You will get a notification that an Update is detected
5) select the update and proceed with it.
6) tablet will restart and install the update...
after 10 minutes, you are now running the latest OTA update..
you will need to re-root again and install TWRP if you don't want to use stock recovery...
i hope this helps...
Great write up!
I also updated using TWRP, but I used fewer steps. I started by downloading the .30 update from the ASUS site. Then I unziped it, and placed that file on my internal storage. I booted into TWRP, and flashed the file, powered off, powered on, and it booted. I waited while the camera firmware updated. I re-installed TWRP via fastboot, booted into recovery, and flashed SuperUser.
I am not seeing the .30 firmware on the Asus page, just .26 can anyone provide a mirror?

Found this link on another topic, it has the update:
http://support.asus.com/Download.as...&m=ASUS Transformer Pad Infinity TF700T&os=32
Updating to .30 after pbrauer's ICS Stock US 9.4.5.26 with Root
I have rooted, unlocked, TWRP installed and pbrauer's ICS Stock US 9.4.5.26 with Root.
Can I now update to .30 dlpkgfile.zip without a problem since I am on a modified ROM?

Download one of the ARM versions: http://androidsu.com/superuser/ and flash in TWRP.
I have an unlocked bootloader, and am rooted. I've flashed TWRP before previously to root and have since reverted back to stock recovery. I've been trying to update the firmware to 4.4.4 as I have class 10 microsds that I can't currently use. Unfortunately when I try to update via the OTA it shows

I've looked, and haven't seen the 4.4.4 firmware online anywhere that I can download and push. Is there anything I'm missing or any workarounds that are known? Are there any ROMs that have these fixes integrated?
Thanks

Thanks! It failed flashing with TWRP so I'm assuming I have to use fastboot to push it similar to http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2542219
I'll be doing it tomorrow as I want to back up a few thing before this wipes my data. Do you know what the difference in those 2 files are? I was going to use the (link 1) RETAIL-CA-SS instead of the (link 2) AMX-PE-SS as it was a few days newer.
edit:
The ones you linked are cid 12 and cid 14. According to this, I would be wanting cid9 for USA

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 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.

Hi All,
I have Moto X play running on android 5.1.1 lollipop. It was rooted recently and used with cyanogen Mod 12.1 for a month. during that time i did back up of entire phone. later i restored that and at present i have been using stock Rom. Recently i got official update for Android marshmallow and i downloaded the 500+Mb file and tried to install. In that process it was going to Twrp recovery mode and not installing properly. So i did reboot system. After 5 mins i turned on mobile, it got shutdown and i again restored my backup . It was working fine. cant we update to Marshmallow with the rooted device? If so how to stop the notifications of android system updates? I tried this way but still i am getting update notification
Apps--> All---> Motorola Update services--> turned off the notification
.How to disable it so that i should not receive update notification? or any other process to upgrade to marshmallow even after rooting? Please let me know

you need stock recovery to update to OTA mm, you cannot update from TWRP. download the lollipop stock-firmware extract the recovery file and flash it, then update.
i wanted to ask that after restoring from backup you got OTA update notification ? or you downloaded the MM update from other sources?? because i thought after rooting i wont get official OTA.

if you have your backup just do a full flash on stock rom and start fresh. there's an Asian 6.0 rom (I believe it is Indian) on the x play github. then proceed with root again.

Actually i am not android developer or android related person. After i heard many things about rooting the devices. I just give it a try by watching the video in you tube. So i am not aware of the core technical terms you specified.
First rooted the mobile. before installing the cyanogen Mod 12.1, i took back up in TWRP recovery mode. i used that same backup to restore after my device got shutdown. Yes even after rooting i got the Update notification

Sir, Is it possible to unroot the rooted devices in any way? if so could you please let me know
if you want to unroot you can do it from superuser, its mentioned in the youtube video. just unroot from superuser settings.
then if you want to upgrade to marshmallow download Indian stock lollipop rom from https://github.com/motoxplay/stock. unzip it on your computer to the the folder where you kept TWRP while flashing it . you'll see a file named recovery.img.
from adb run the command
Code:
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
i.e flash this recovery just the way you flashed TWRP.
then you can update to marshmallow.
and did disabling google play services removed your update notification???

Just follow the procedure as given in that thread and everything will be fine.
It has nothing to do with the way you rooted your phone.
If a phone has twrp installed, he has nothing to fear about upgrading to latest versions as the updates are made available on Xda in Twrp flashable zip.
So no need to format the stock firmware again and then update and then all the headache.

Sir, In your previous post you meant to say this?
1. First unroot the mobile using the super Su (settings)
2. Then flash the Stock lollipop rom mentioned in the github
3. Then update the mobile to Marshmallow
4. Then again root the device

1. correct
1.1. check oem unlock and usb debugging
1.2. Copy the original old backup which you took, to your external sdcard. [just to return to stock if anything goes wrong]
2. Just flash the recovery which is present in the lollipop rom, no need to flash the whole rom.
3. correct
4. Do NOT flash the old superuser to root. To root again follow these steps http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-x-play/general/root-how-to-root-6-0-easly-t3277202

For future reference, when you download a stock update on any device for yourself and want to flash it, the way it gets applied depends on what type of file you download. The files come in a form that is meant to be flashed using a flashtool on PC or a form that is meant to be flashed in stock recovery.
If you get the stock update zip, it can be flashed in stock recovery.
If you get the full stock firmware update file, it can be flashed via PC.
This applies to most, if not all android devices that get updates.
