I updated to lollipop through the official ota today (flashed 10C then did all OTAs to lollipop). In recovery, I also flashed a headphone volume modification that I always flash on changing ROMs. It modifies the mixer_paths.xml file in /system/etc/. However when I looked there, there was no such file. Can anyone confirm whether the file exists in the lollipop update? If so, may I please get a copy? Thank you.

Apparently a de-Knoxing script included in my kernel(?) removed these apps from my phone; seeing the recent N920T and possibly N910F Marshmallow leaks through OTA, it would be nice if I still had these apps on my phone for capturing an update.zip in case Samsung again accidentally pushes something interesting. Unfortunately, because IU have Xposed installed (which deodexes the ROM and breaks running odexed apps), I can't just copy these apps from an official ROM.
Does someone have these 2 apps in a deodexed version? Or do they now somehow depend on Knox?
Those won't make a difference, as soon as you modified your ROM you will not receive OTAs.
The only solution is to flash a stock firmware via Odin if you want to receive updates again, no root, custom kernel or any other /system mod.
There is a well-known hack to override rooting checks in OTA, which enables grabbing update.zip files on rooted phones (although they won't apply cleanly on a rooted ROM). However, SuperSU(?) now appears to remove the OTA apps as part of its "KNOX removal" routine.
Nevermind, managed to deodex them myself. Turns out my oat2dex was an old version.
Anyone running into this problem: use oat2dex.jar from the Linux deodex guide (even on Windows!) The one in the Windows Lollipop deodex guide is old, and can't handle 5.1.1 and/or TouchWiz.
I know that I can't get OTA normally if I have any system level modifications like root or xposed installed.
However, I came across this thread which lists both, the stock firmware images and individual OTA update zips.
With the zip for OTA in hand, will flashing them on a rooted stock device cause problems?
You can install the factory images but it will be a clean install. You will have to root the phone after. You can learn how to flash those images here, http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/general/guides-how-to-guides-beginners-t3206928
No. You can't flash an OTA if you're modified. You must flash the factory images.
Thanks! Guess I have to download the full thing everytime.
Thanks!
Hi,
I'm using HTC ONE M9+, today finally HTC released 6.0 Update for M9+,my hpne downloading update without any problem when i click to Install Now it says Rebooting and after reboot TWRP Kicks in and does nothing.Is there any way to disable TWRP to install this new update ?
Flash back the corresponding "stock" recovery.
You must also have an unmodified system to apply the OTA successfully.
i've flashed "recovery_verified.img__TW_1.90.709.3" now TWRp disabled but during update (at %23) it says OTA failed, my OTA is TW, according to error message i need europe's OTA which i couldn't find on internet
i actually have the same issue i have tried copying the ota and tried flashing through adb but it shows that error executing updater binary zip file and errror flashing the device
im running L 5.0.1 and want to update to m 6.0.1 through ota
i have unlocked bootloader but s-on .how to flash the otp? thanks in advance
MIracles happen! Is there anyone that have already made the update and can tell if the sense it's still there or if HTC have removed everything like in the HTC 10?
i think i can update my phone to 6.0 if i can find Europe OTA, i've searched everywhere but i couldn't find it
even i have downloaded the update but cant install as i have system partition modified...i ve searched for a ruu or stock rom but couldnt find anywhere...however i do have the Indian OTA update.
did anyone managed to install 6.0 update yet ?
Hi, I have a european S8+ fully rooted and with TWRP.
Everything's working great so far but I read somewhere that I won't receive further OTA updates.
Can I install them manually with TWRP?
If yes, 3 questions:
1. Where can I get them?
2. Do I need every single update or are the newest update always containing the older updates as well?
3. Do I lose root or TWRP after installing an update?
I've rooted with Magisk by the way.
Typically if you're rooted and modified the system partition (BusyBox or twrp or whatever) the update will not install in stock recovery. Usually you have to unroot reinstall stock recovery and flash ota. There's toolkits out that can do that. Or you can just find an awesome rom like a rooted debloated rom thats just recently updated and just flash that. Or you can what till somebody snags the ota update location then posts that.
I am on update channel retgb (UK) and have just received the first OTA update for this device. As I have unlocked my bootloader, install TWRP, installed Vanche's Modified Boot Kernel + wlan_custom.zip + magisk do I need to do anything special before applying the OTA update. (I followed the guide by Awesomeslayerg up to installing SuperSU)
I have looked around XDA but I do not know which stock rom I need to flash and then how to apply the OTA update. As I have magisk I don't think my system partition has been modified but because of the wlan_custom file and custom boot kernel I think the boot partition has been meaning from what I understand I can't install the update.
Any pointers would be appreciated.
I did grab the OTA update drive.google .com/open?id=0B0o6IYW5dPwHcExfSXVvMWVCWU0 (remove space between google and .com if thats is any help
