Problem with System Updates

Brazilian Moto G XT1033, bootloader unlocked, actually using Stock ROM 5.0.2 with Stock Recovery
Hello guys
Well, I was with rooted Stock 5.0.2 ROM 2 days ago, when it notified me that was an update available, so I know that I can't update by OTA with a rooted phone.
I wiped system/cache/dalvik and installed Stock ROM 4.4.4 by ADB+mfastboot for remove the root and be able to update normally.
When the cell started, I updated the "Motorola update service" in Play Store and searched for new updates (Settings > About phone > System updates). A few seconds and it returned the following message: "Check for update was not available at this time. Try again later.".
So, I downloaded the Stock ROM 5.0.2 and installed it by the same way (Wipe > Install by ADB/mfastboot) hoping that it will solve my problem... But it didn't ;(
I did some factory resets, some cache wipes etc and nothing worked for me.
I also installed the stock 5.0.2 recovery again as I saw in a forum topic, but still didn't work.
It is everything right with my phone and network connections.
This message keeps popping up, and I can not update.
Can anyone please help me? Thanks
(Sorry if I had a bad english, still learning...).

@Thales Lima : 1: keep patient, will have update after 1 day or more. If it said: system up to date=> cant update
2: you can download OTA zip file for xt1033, copy to phone( not put in any folder), and check update,it will update manually. Its ok like auto update.

Thanks for replying, thuybang!
I will be patient and wait and see if was a motorola's update server error
And... Where can I find the XT1033 5.1 ROM (zip file) for download?

OTA zip file update 5.1( not ROM 5.1). https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B_JZx92EYN28YUJyT0JmNlJqRWM/view
After download, u change name to : 221.21.56 ( only number), and put in phone...

Whoooa, where did you find it? ^^
Thank you a lot!
------------ EDIT -------------
I pushed the zip file right named to my SD Card (none folder), and looked again for updates, and it returned the same message (Check for update was not available at this time. Try again later.). Can I update using a Custom Recovery > Install ZIP??
------------ EDIT -------------
The first download was corrupted, I guess... I downloaded it again and now I'm with 5.1 installed ^^ (I installed using the method mentioned by you, thuybang)
Buuut... I still can't connect to the update server and check for new updates ;(
If a new update come available for XT1033, I won't get it =/

No,u have to use stock recovery. When u check update,if it not work, go to recovery, choose: apply update from SD card,hope it work.

Ok,its fine buddy. Maybe u will get 5.1.1. . if its show : system up to date,u will stop in 5.1.
Because before i got auto update( i got 5.1 by auto update when i check update) ,it also got that mgs. My friend show : system up to date,he have to update manual like u.
So u go to recovery, wipe cached, factory reset ,enjoy 5.1. Dont worry, its nomal.

Alright, but... Even when I knew that there was some updates available (when I was with 4.4.4), it returned the same message (that hell message saying that couldn't connect to the update server). But it's alright, when comes a new update available I'm gonna install it manually.
Thank you again, thuybang ^^
--------------- EDIT ---------------
Whooa! I think that it really was an update server's fail, now it's normal '-'

Nexus 5 - Android System Update (2.5MB) problem

Hello,
I have a Nexus 5 and installed Android 6.0 OTA and I rooted the phone. I recently got a notice for Android system update (2.5MB) and I have a problem with the update I suppose because of that root.
Update gets downloaded, the device restarts and then on the screen I get an error.
Does anyone know what the problem is and how to make the update?
Thanks!

Yes, I think a great number of people know the answer... I had to ask the same question myself a long time ago.
Since Android 5 (I think) the OTA process looks at the entire system for any changes to the ROM partitions, and it will update only if the ROM is intact and unchanged. Root changes the ROM, therefore no update.
I believe that you can update manually by flashing just the system partition, but you'll then have to re-root the phone.
It was precisely for this reason that I got fed up with root, despite its many advantages, and now run encrypted, unrooted, and with Netguard firewall protecting at least some of my privacy.

u should update before making any changes in the system folder or to the recovery.

You should not take the OTA updates while rooted.
One solution would be to download the factory image for the update and fastboot flash system.img from the download, wipe cache, then reinstall supersu.

I'm stuck

Hi guys,
for some reason after I did update to KangVIP I can't get rid off it. Besides I got no wifi and bt and I was going to start over with b023 as suggested but at this point I wont bother anymore.
I did wipe the system, I did advanced wipe using twrp but no matter what I do none of the stock firmwares are going through however the Kanga one always goes through.(KangaVIP goes through only in TWRP)
twrp 2.8.7.0
wipe
advanced wipe
I select all the partitions
mkdosfs process ended with error=1
unable to wipe /usb
unknown mtp message type: 1
unable to wipe /usb
I go back, restart to fastboot, (device is saying there is no OS installed), I restore the recovery, create dload folder on my sdcard, put there 028 (actually I tried all of them already), volume+ volume - power and I get error.
What am I missing ?
Anyone can help ?
Thanks in advance.
Eric

First you did a OTA from B029 to B209?
If so you are now on a Android 6 ROM you cant go back to Android 5 without a Rollback from Huawei.

Yes I did then I wiped everything and started with b028 again.
Same thing, wifi didn't work same with BT.
Wipe again and this time I did local update and since the local update I can't go back not even b029.

Right now you are on a Android 5 or Android 6 ROM?
If you on a Android 5 ROM you can force update a Complete ROM to install a clean system and try if everything works.

I'm stuck on 6.0
I know I can do force update on 5.0 I said it above I just can't do it with 6.0 -> b029, only with your rom.

Anyone else is having this issue ?
The Kanga rom got a quite few problems no wifi and not BT, Google play services crashing (this can be fixed with gapps) my co worker just tried it with his own methods and same issue. After I went through the whole Kanga thread 60% of the posters got problems most of them are ignored.

I don't have any problems but I think the people with problems are people who have a DAV 701L.

I got DAV-703L, just simple question, why is the wifi and bt not working ?
When I get into Kanga I can remove the root or deny access to it is there a way to ditch it ?
Yeah I know it's working for you and it's not working for 10 other people including 703L owners. There is something wrong with the rom no doubt about it.

I think there was an error while flashing and without a full clean Rom flash i can't see a solution.
Before I got it to work I flashed it more than 3 times and everytime everything worked so I think don't think the ROM is that bugged.

The first rom you introduced is working "fine" I get the wifi and bt no problem but once I switch into the latest build it's gone.
Any idea where can I get full clean Rom ?
This one is a no go http://www.needrom.com/download/p8max-dav-703l/

I managed to rollback to 5.1.1 but when I try to force flash it, it says it's not compatible.

If you don't update properly to B209, when you flash any B209 rom you are going to run into issues such as the wireless Bluetooth and sim card switching for some. If you properly updated the dload method should have completed successfully. Look at the kernel and radio version of B209 in About phone and compare it to others and see if they match.

I don't want to use your rom even if you removed the Chinese it's still inside the system. Boot load times take much longer. Unexpected crashes. I did try it on 4 phones with OTA and local updates 2 are working but the Kang does crash twice a day minimum.
All what I'm asking is how to restore it to it's original settings, this was my worst mistake ever.
What I'm trying to say if I do something I do it properly just look at your thread 85% failure ratio that doesn't look like it was done properly does it ?

Really dude?? No worries, it will be the last time I do anything for the P8Max. Maybe you should just sell the phone since you're having all sorts of issues with it....or maybe you should have left it totally stock then. Or maybe read through the Mediapad X2 forums because the two phones are very similar.

Rolling back to miui from custom ROM.

I have a FRD-L04.
I am trying to get back to stock software, but no matter what I do I get some kind of error.
I have an SD card with the UPDATE.APP file in a dload folder.
When I reboot the phone with the volume up and down it looks like it going to flash, but gives the error at 5%...the error is Software install failed! Incompatibility with current version. Please download the correct update package.
I feel like I have downloaded every single update.zip folder available for the FRD-L04 phone.
I tried using the Firmware Extraction software and getting the System and Recovery image files, but I also get errors trying to use fastboot on those.
I have no other idea what to do to get this phone back to stock!
I can flash custom roms with no issues at all.
If anyone has any ideas that'd be awesome.

Hello I just want to let everyone know I FINALLY got it working.
I put the rollback update file on my SDCard first and let it do its thing.
Then when that was done I used the UPDATE.APP to load the latest OS and it went through with no errors.

Well I lied...everything seemed to go fine, but after it rebooted it now looks like it's stuck on the Honor screen! I have NEVER had so many issues with an Android phone before in my life.

I think you have to go to the stock recovery and do a format data/ factory reset.

Need help with my S6!

Hello there,
Please forgive me if i posted this thread on the wrong place.
-I would've not posted a thread here unless this got serious, so i own a Samsung Galaxy S6, it's 1 year old phone, when i first got it, i used it normally like everyone else and had no problem with it, but my curiosity got me to root the phone, i still did not get any problem with it until i chose to add a ROM. I used NNE 5.1 S8 port and it was working well until it got my phone broken somehow.
-My phone started acting really strange after 2 months of activity of that new ROM, my phone just started restarting randomly and it got me worried, i thought it's an application problem so i first just factory reset it. It seemed it was not the problem on an application, so i chose to change my firmware to a stock one. I searched up recently on the newest firmware for S6 and i found out it's: XEF (France) , PDA (AP): G920FXXU6ERC1 and CSC : G920FOXA6ERC1 on 2018-03-22. I Downloaded 4 files: BL,AP,CP,CSC , and i found out about PIT on one of the posts in this forum (Filename: SM-G920F-ZEROFLTE_EUR_OPEN.pit).
-Before i flashed with Odin, i wiped System, Data, Cache and Dalvrik Cache. The firmware worked well but after 1 hour it started doing the same thing but now differently. It happend to me only 1 time that it froze up on an application, but i think that is just an app problem. The main problem is that when i lock my screen, i cannot unlock it anymore, it just freezes there until it restarts after a short period of time. After the restart, it just keeps going, restarts, asks for pin, restarts and so on.
I tried removing the sim card and putting it back in, did not work.
I tried Safe mode, still same.
Model of phone: SM-G920F
Current firmware: XEF (G920FXXU6ERC1)
Android version: Nougat (7.0)
If you can help me, or you know something about this problem, please repost here, i would be really grateful since this is my only phone

Ininstall twrp backup everything most important efs partition.

How could samsung switch possibly help?
I did flash it with different versions already, but no luck :/.
I've been praying a lot for this lately but it is not working lol

Please Bump this!

try doing this.
1) go here: https://updato.com/
2) choose download 2 roms. 1 nougat and another marshmallow (to my knowledge, stock roms are one file. no more splits and unless otherwise stated... no need for pit)
3) first flash nougat using oden
4) try the phone for a few some time.
if after a set amount of time, phone works fancy and no issues present then it's solved.
if not... install marshmallow. then try again.
if all this fails then...
install nougat. as soon as possible afterwards install twrp.
boot into twrp and just leave it there. my twrp locks after a while and screen goes dark until user interaction (just like it's supposed to)
if the same thing happens then its a hardware issue... probably... (i have had my main board fail... kinda similar not similar issue... hope you dont have the same issue and that its just software related)
good luck.

In my case every time there was an update available it would download the whole firmware and by doing so you would get the most fresh and updated version. Also it updates every partition to match
