Someone else had this issue with the 2nd OTA update as well (never been rooted)...it seems the OTA update changed the status somehow...There was a solution posted, I just can't remember what it was, but while you are waiting for someone to weigh in, you might want to have a bit of a search for that thread...pretty sure it was this forum (if not it was androidcentral that I read it).

Sorry if I knew that, I could find the post for you. ;-p It was awhile back and I honestly don't remember other than your post sounds quite similar. Maybe "device modified message"?? In the post they definitely mentioned 3 things: 1) that they hadn't rooted their device 2) that the modified message appeared AFTER doing an update 3) they couldn't update again after the status changed to modified. But I can't remember any of the exact wording.
Sorry I'm not more help, I just mainly wanted to reassure you that someone else has come up against this, and there is a solution.
Hope someone can give you better help.
Turn the phone off, pull the external SD card, and then restart it. Your status should go back to official. Once it does it's OK to reinsert the SD card. I have no idea what causes this issue but what I described seems to correct it.
You might need to reboot twice with the SD card out.

Why did you pull the battery?! The triangle screen is the phone updating... Was it stuck on that screen for more than 10 minutes?

It wasnt stuck , but it had the status bar down below and then that went away b4 it finished loading , I figured it failed so I tried turning it off but it wouldnt turn off after holding the power button for 10 sec's.
Put the battery back in and the phone booted

No idea whether it truly finished updating or not.... you are lucky you didn't brick your phone, especially if you pulled the battery during the radio update portion of it. There is a reason the instructions for updating from google say "don't remove the battery during the update process, let it finish on its own"(or something to that effect).
You might want to try re-applying it to make sure everything was flashed correctly.
in the system updates it is saying the fone is up to date.
another thing is...
How did it download the update when I didnt have wifi or 3G connected?
I have it set to only get 2G (have no data plan on 3G and no credit) and while at work this morning it prompted me to install update.

The update would still download over Edge. When you go to Settings>About Phone, is the firmware version 2.1 or 2.1-update1?
Also, don't assume anything fails. If you're unfamiliar with the update procedure, feel free to ask up before doing anything. There was another guy whose phone was stuck on that screen for over an hour. He was right to pull the battery... but in your case, it was risky. Anyway, glad to hear you're not bricked man.

Can you tell me how to install stock firmware?
Not sure if this somehow can help in any form of development for the Bravo but I'll post it up. Just read on Android Central that Motorola is looking for 1,000 users to test Android 2.2 for Bravo owners. It does require you to register on their forums first and then fill out a registration form. My younger brother has a Bravo so I'm going to register with his device and maybe it will somehow help some developers on here. Here is the link to the info https://supportforums.motorola.com/thread/47978?tstart=0
thanks for the heads up. I missed the last one.
Thanks for the notification. I'm already registered for the MFN tho, doesn't look like there's more I can do.... Hopefully I'm not missing something.
Wow this is the best news. Lets hope att doesn't delay this one like the last one. I'm all signed up so just gonna keep an eye on my email from them. Thanks for the heads up!
Thanks for posting. Spread the word on this, let's make sure they get all 1000 slots filled asap! More testers = better final product.

unroot
Is there a way to unroot for this phone? I'm just waiting on my notification, I'm afraid root will not allow the OTA update.
I got in! Received the email saying in a few days I'll get a download link where I can get the update. I was also wondering about unrooting.
Wouldnt the update unroot your phone for you? If we wanted we would root it again after the update.
Sent from my MB520 using XDA App
I have a Droid Incredible and from being in those forums I believe, and I can be wrong so don't quote me, we will still be able to update. What usually blocks the update is have Clockwork Recovery. Hopefully we can root after the update. Knowing Motorola they are probably going to patch it up. Then don't want people rooting their phones. I'm just hoping someone here can possible use this info and hopefully can port CWM for us.

It tells me but it shows error for /cache/Blur_Version...etc so its from their update. I see you on the MOTO forums heydabop
@heydabop the error you stating you are getting even after unrooting might be if you modified the phone to allow non-market apps. Did you leave that on? I'm trying to see if I can reverse that by going through the steps and changing the value again. Maybe that would work. I get a different error though
I get the same error message. I think it is because I have custom boot animation installed. I didn't save the original boot animation zip file like I should have. I have factory data reset and went and checked the field for non market apps and changed them back. "E: error in /cache/blur_version3.5.350.MB520.ATT.en.us.zip (status 7)". So if anyone has the original boot animation zip file they can give me I would appreciate it. You can pm me or email me. thanks

There is probably an error above the the zip error, that points to a specific file. Don't mind the zip error, it's caused by the verification error, and doesn't actually indicate a problem with the zip.

Hey folks,

In the morning on my A500 appeared an update available message. I tried to install it, but it failed in the middle. So I got a brick, which I solved with the chinese update. Afterwards I pushed my saved system.img.
BUT: Now the Build Number says Acer_A500_1.112. instead of Acer_A500_1.112.01_EMEA_CUS7
I checked the build.prop but there the correct build number is written.
Also another check of update gimme the message, that my system is up-to-date.
Is anyone able to provide help, like EMEA flexrom.img, boot.img, or some useful advises?
There is a EMEA signed update.zip floating around. Try to restore with that one and see what happens.
I got the same "Update" message (34MB?). I don't know if it was because mine was already rooted. D/L and updated, in the middle the dreadful Triangle with the exclamation mark pops up. Bricked! Did a reboot and try to reapply the update again..Bricked again.
Is this because I'd rooted the tablet?
gotta push flexrom
You gotta push your flexrom image onto the tablet too then "FACTORY RESET". The flexrom (mmcblk0p6) has the information of the update... that is where you are getting the difference from (if i am not mistaken)...
Try that and see if it helps ... I believe it should... jejeje

Have never seen any OTA update in Australia :|
Wish I knew what was inside this update... media player still only sees mp4, mp3... email doesn't allow exchange... I wonder how many updates we will have to wait for to get a few of the things I want?... I didn't root so that I could load updates easily but if I have to try to fix this thing up the way I did my epic then I guess I will...shame they couldn't put divx, wmv, and some other poplar codecs in this... don't they realize some of us bought this to work with too? If exchange was added I would be sorta happy... (I love my A500 short of a couple things)

Typically I ignore posts that seem to just be complaining, but you seem real torn up about this so... go to settings, accounts, add your exchange account and be happy.
Another thing that can cause the update to hang would be any edits to your build.prop (ie. Netflix early fixes, etc). Changing back to the original resolved the triangular fail icon for me and completed the update with root still installed, gingerbreak did have to be I installed again but root is still attainable.

I was having all kinds of problems not getting the update to run and kept Triangle halt..
I resolved it by the following:
you dont need to do anything with Gingerbreak, its ok. The problem is for those that changed any system files. In my case, i wanted exchange, so i was using a different email.apk, well as learned from another thread here, if you look in Cache/recovery/logs, you will see a file where you can see where the update went wrong. Like i said, in my case, i saw the file size was not what was expected for email.apk. I removed the exchange account, used rootexp and renamed email.apk.old (the original) to email.apk and the obex file then the update worked correctly.
I was going crazy as i was messing with this instead of watching my heat vs the bulls 1st half.

look at your /Cache/recovery/logs for an error and post results
I had to try about 7-8 times looking in the recovery log after each time to see what .apk that i forgot that I had deleted, then put it back and try again. I finally was successful and haven't seen much difference other than no random wake ups. Maybe a little snappier.
I had mine hang in recovery every unsuccessful update which is NOT THE SAME AS BRICKING.
Hey all,
I looked through the posts and wasn't able to find the answer so I am leaving this. Basically I upgraded my X from a rooted froyo to GB using the 2 files provided by P3Droid to go from the SBF froyo to GB rooted. It works great and I am having no freezing issues however the phone keeps trying to update and download the GB over the air update. I don't know how to stop this from happening or if I did something wrong. I have deleted a few of the Verizon apps that should stop any update from taking place anyway. I thank you in advance for your help.
I downloaded the "rooted gingerbread .596" from p3droid and my Droid X has never asked to update.
the only other thing I can think of is that I accidentally hit check for update on my phone but I don't think that it should have even found the gingerbread once I had installed it myself...
I just went into my settings and into "about phone". I also checked for a update and it says that it is up to date no update is necessary. So I have no idea what is going on. Only thing I can suggest is if it continues, is to SBF back to Froyo and reinstall p3Droid's rooted .596 again. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.
You could let the update happen, it would go partially, fail and reboot and you're all set
Same problem with Sprint EVO 4g
I have also just installed "4.22.651.2 Rooted & De-Odexed" after accidentally dl the OTA update last week. I just hoped that installing the new ROM would eliminate the notifications to install the update but unfortunately it did not.
I did try to let it install so as to let it fail and rebooted, and the notification is still there.
Is there maybe a way to manually remove the update file?

I meant read the threads about the update that have already been posted here in the general AT&T S4 sub forum. There are at least 2 threads about this in the top 10 threads of the first page. Not only does they discuss the OTA in detail but there are several posts that explain how to prevent it, how to stop it after it starts, and how to avoid it after the fact, etc...
I was barely able to freeze the updater in time. I should really check the forums more often. I didn't know about the update until now.

This is how the AT&T updater works. If you keep delaying it, it will just install it automatically when you are not using the phone - like overnight or something.

I do not do updates, but can't you just go do a factory reset? Or can you get into recovery somehow, and flash a custom rom? I am just throwing things out that I would try.
I am probably wrong here, but I have never done an update, even on my G3 back in the day.
You can tell me to shut up too.

Well since the update appears to block root and has a new bootloader which means loki is most likely patched...and odin appears to fail right away with any phone on this new update...I would say once updated you are screwed until some new exploits come out...ao avoid the update like the plague

Bramsey,
Scott is right, there are blocking the OTA instructions on a few threads. It did how ever take me a good 20 minutes to find them. So if I may help you:
How to Block OTA
Prerequisites
Must be rooted!
Must have a root level file manager. I prefer ES File Explorer
Instuctions
Start root explorer app
Mount /system as read/write
Navigate to /system/app/
Rename wssyncmldm.apk -> wssyncmldm.apk.bak
Reboot
