[Q] What to do now when 4.1.1 comes if I'm rooted and so?

Fixed.

RusherDude said:
If I am on 4.4 stock rooted, with a custom recovery, and stuff modified on /system.. what I do when the update to 4.1.1 comes?
If I don't do nothing, the update will download automatically (which I don't want at all...), then try to patch and fail (I guess it won't even start since it detects that it's not stock system and recovery to flash the update) and it may even loop downloading and failing by what I readed being a bug on some 4.3 roms on the Nexus 4?
So how I should act in the following situations? First make a nandroid then..
a) I wanna flash it asap: I get the ota zip asap its posted and flash it on CWM and hope it goes ok. I may **** up stuff and have to revert to the nandroid, or 1it can go ok and just lose root and the system changes, right?
b) I wanna stay on 4.4 until all the stuff is ported to 4.1.1: It will at some point download the ota (****) by itself and spam me continuously to install it, right? If I wanna stay on 4.4 until all the stuff I use its compatible with 4.1.1, what I got to do to evade the auto-downloading of the ota and the spam about the update?
I don't know.. any way to stop the auto-update from working or so? That would be great!
Thanks in advance.

Here is what I just did, and it worked perfectly.
1. Take note of all the mods you installed so you can install them afterwards.
2. Put phone in bootloader mode / fastboot
3. Grab the 4.4 stock image from Google. Extract system.img file from it and flash that through fastboot (without the -w command) (fastboot flash system system.img). Don't worry you won't lose anything if you omit -w. Apps and data are preserved, it just set the \system area back to stock
4. Copy the OTA udpate zip to your phone, flash with TWRP. Since everything is 'back to stock' it should flash fine.
I had to re-root with TWRP after flashing before I rebooted. Everything was good to go. Then reflash your mods.

Ok, that covers the a) situation where I want to flash it asap, thanks! (also note everyone, you got to disable xposed and all mods before flashing the ota)
PS: You can just flash the stock kernel and undo all the system changes, no need to flash the entire 4.4 stock zip.
What about the b) situation?

Don't know why you'd want to go all the way back to 4.1.1. That's from July '12.

How to update to 4.4.1
I am rooted/bootloader unlocked with TWRP v2.6.3.1. When I try to flash in recovery manually with ota zip, I get a Failed error with error "E: error executing updater binary in zip"
What are step to update for a device like mine??

Update fails to install

I tried to install the new update but on the install screen it says failed to verify and asks if i want to install anyways.
I choose yes and it errors out saying the update is for device "roth" and i have device "thor"
Does ayone know a workaround for this?

Have you messed with any system files or changed out the recovery or anything like that? I assume the Shield is going to look to make sure the system is all intact before allowing the update. Though the fact it says Roth which is a spelling error of Thor seems weird. Mine updated fine...
If you can find the update using root explorer you could delete it and redownload it.

I unlocked bootloader, installed cwm, and rooted using Kwonggers toolkit.

OTAs will commonly fail if you install custom recovery. You'll have to wait for someone to make it into a zip that you can run through CWM.

You probably still have CWM installed, to install an OTA you must first go back to the stock recovery. You can download it from here: http://goo.im/devs/agrabren/shield/original_images/recovery.img
Put that file in your ADB folder
To flash it, connect to usb and enable ADB debugging.
on PC type:
adb reboot bootloader
-Wait to reboot-
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
-Now you have stock recovery installed-
Reboot the shield normally and install the OTA update, it should work.
Your bootloader is still unlocked, but you don't have root.
To install CWM, just follow the same instructions but replace the stock image with the CWM recovery image. You can download that here: http://goo.im/devs/agrabren/shield/cwm/recovery.img
The shield will be unrooted when you update. To root, simply flash CWM and reboot. CWM will ask you if you want to disable Stock reflashing, and if you want to root.
You may also need to flash the real SU zip from here: http://download.chainfire.eu/396/SuperSU/UPDATE-SuperSU-v1.94.zip?retrieve_file=1
For me, I was not able to let the SU app install the binary's alone, (Normal, or CWM method) I had to flash the SU zip.
But the update is smooth, and everything is working. Just no SD write support obviously.

I tried this but it wouldn't download the ota again an I couldn't find where it was. So, I tried going back to stock to update but now it is stuck on the boot screen. I tried downloading a newer factory image from the nvidia website but now all of the windows links are locked behind some developer program that I have to make an account, submit an application, and wait for approval. Do you have any links to a recent factory restore image?
EDIT: I ended up just downloading mint and the linux .sh file to get the factory images.

You can use the root toolbox on this forum to reflash stock and relock and fix it

That's what I tried before but it didn't work

If some updates please capture the OTA zip that downloads and upload it for us to tear apart.

What steps are you doing on there also email me [email protected] I will be able to respond more quickly

you dont have to
you can just use kwonggers toolkit, and just revert to stock kernel, stock system image, and stock recovery, you don't need to relock bootloader, but you must download the ota's separately, if you don't automatically see them under about shield> updates, then go to application manager>all> and force stop google services framework, then check for the update(it should now show up and download). this is what I have been doing, everytime I want to revert to the stock, most up to date ota, after this, you can reflash cwm recovery, flash the super su.zip and root again!

The ota (for some back assward reason) downloads not to the ota folder but to the cache folder. Anyway uploading the full otq zip now will edit with link when its done

That could be more than one reason. But off the top of my head, maybe it's because the OTA folder is userspace, and there might not be enough Storage left on the internal. Cache is a separate partition, Things can even be deleted while running. So basically it insures enough space to download, and the user would never need to delete his own data to make room.
It might be awkward when you're looking for the OTA, but I think it's designed that way with the user in mind. :good:

Well regardless here's the ota file https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B2khjpo7TDP0Y3c0SjNNRWNXT28/edit?usp=sharing

[Q] So now that Lollipop is out...?

Hi everyone. I saw that Google released the factory image for the Nexus 5. I read on a lot of posts that the XDA members usually release a zip file that you just flash on your Nexus 5 through the recovery and it will install the bootanimation and the rom for you. I have no idea where that is. I want the final version of Lollipop and I want to flash it, not wait for the OTA update. Is there already a zip file like this or do I have to wait for some more time? Thank you.

Thread below you lol

Most of the flashing is described by google themselves: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
But do read more about it elsewhere and don't forget to backup everything before you flash, if your bootloader is locked then unlocking it in order to flash the image will wipe your phone.

There's an OTA Zip over there on AndroidPolice.
You can also flash the Factory Image like most of us did.
It'll be like a brand new Nexus.

Have you seen any of the other options?
Wugfresh Nexus Root Toolkit, contains options to restore completely to stock, flashing recoveries, boot images, you name it.
It's like an organized version for people who don't do fastboot command typings through CMD.
You could always flash the factory image yourself by Google Instructions, or download the OTA file on Android Police. The choice is yours. :/

Not exactly.
Download the factory image, and if you want to use Wugfresh, you go to restore to stock, select your own downloaded factory image, insert the MD5 from the Google Page, and it'll guide you through the rest. It's safer to wipe before doing this, but either way, it does it by itself.

Ok so I am going to make this clear so I can understand better and not mess up( because I tend to do that A LOT)
*Before I do anything I have to factory reset my device.*
1. Download the factory image from here: https://developers.google.com/android/nexus/images
2. Open WugFresh and click on the "Flash Stock + Unroot" option.
3. I do not understand the MD5 part.
4. WugFresh will guide me through the rest.
P.S: I do want to be rooted when on Lollipop so I can just root again after I install Lollipop right?

The MD5 part, next to the " Download " button on the Google page. You see MD5:yadayadayada. In Wugfresh, it'll need the MD5 to confirm the zip.
You can root by installing a custom recovery, flashing SuperSU and a modified kernel.

process of taking OTA while keeping root?

how exactly do i go about doing this. back in the day root was easy to keep while taking OTA updates but now i'm not so sure about that. Is there a safe way to take the 7.1.1 OTA update and keep root? I'm currently on 7.1 build NDE63V. No i'm not using the Verizon variant as i have Sprint and thus don't need to worry about dealing with Verizon's BS.
If someone can please point me in the direction of some kind of guide in taking OTA while keeping root or unrooting, taking OTA and then re-rooting or something along those lines that would be a great help. I have a few videos showing me how to unroot but that requires me to completely wipe my phone it seems, at least with the guides i've found. And i'd rather avoid that if possible.

Download the newest factory image, extract it all. Right click the flash-all.bat and select edit. Scroll to the -w and delete it. Then boot into bootloader and run the flash-all.bat. Then, fastboot boot TWRP RC2 and then flash the RC2 zip (in TWRP) to keep twrpas your recovery. Then flash the latest supersu in TWRP and reboot.
Deleting the -w stops the flash-all.bat from wiping your device. So when you boot again everything is as it was.

wouldn't this be the same as taking the ota update? or does the ota lock the bootloader?

Ota does not lock the bootloader, but it will not flash if you have a modified system partition or TWRP recovery. It will simply fail. You could do the above steps with the ota file from Google as well.

Flash back stock boot and you'll be back to stock, as long as you didn't modify any of the other partitions (/system, /vendor, /product). And flash back recovery using adb.
Get stock boot by downloading your firmware from http://hwmt.ru/oth/HWFF/info/view.php?find_model=mha
Then download Huawei Update Extractor https://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2433454
Open it up and open update.app which you extracted from update.zip. Right click on BOOT and extract, same with recovery.
Flash back boot using twrp and 'fastboot flash recovery recovery.img' to flash back stock boot.

You will have to flash back hw and public zips for your build. There's a folder (hw_init) in /data/ that gets wiped when you format data, it contain apps (system update for example) and the theme engine.
So you will have to flash back TWRP again and decrypt again if you went back to stock, else you won't be able to flash the zips. After that you can flash back stock boot and recovery, and you *should* be able to update via OTA.
Here's a little guide for getting HW and public for your build: https://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=71302827&postcount=627
Also, question: What update are you trying to apply? It might just be that it's not approved by Huawei yet, and that makes it impossible to install using Firmware Finder.
And if you're trying the Dload method, it won't work. Only 2 offline firmwares have been released.
Edit: I should learn to read. So you're trying Dload? Yeah, that won't work.
I guess you could install your current full firmware using Firmware Finder, but for that you'd still need to flash back HW and Public so you can actually see the System Update button.
And that means flashing back TWRP, and flashing to /data requires decrypting, so you'd have to do that as well.

I used this method that our friend suggest in post 2
UNLOCK YOUR BOOTLOADER
02-FLASH TWRP 3.0.2-2 (thanks to @Tkkg1994) using ADB
03-Boot into TWRP (HOLD VOL up + POWER)
03(a)-Backup your Boot thru TWRP into your ext SD or OTG(optional)
04-Format Data in TWRP
05-Flash superRoot.zip (thanks to @ante0 for this)
06-Flash Public_data.zip if you are on build L29C636 u can use THIS
07-Flash Full_HW_data.zip(you will get error 7 but it still went thru)if you are on build L29C636 u can use THIS
***how to obtain files for step 6&7 Read THIS thanks to @gm007
08-Boot into system (setup ur phone)

Hi there,
I am having similar issues, but the THIS in your post is just text? I am a novice to the Mate 9 and am trying to get my system update back It failed when I tried to go to B136 via FF

Rebrand to c636 it will be easier for you to go back to stock anytime,and faster update.

Thanks for that. Do I have to do a full wipe if coming from a MHA-L09C34B122?
