Incremental Update OTA - YU Yureka Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

There is an incremental update of 73 mb whith some sccurity and proximity sensor updates.
But i am getting error status 7 while updated through recovery.
i am using philz ercovery.
Kindly guide.

How come you got this update. Which firmware are u on..?? XNPH520 or lower. And you cannot flash this on Philz recovery. U need to be on locked bootloader nd stock recovery i suppose. Or wait till someone creates a cwm flashable zip of this incremental update and then u can directly flash this in any recovery - cwm, twrp or philz.
But unitl then u cant flash this bro. sorry..

Go for manual update

No need to unrrot. You need undated recovery.
Flash twrp and you will be good to go.

I had the same problem, TWRP did not take the OTA file properly. Every time it wanted to boot after the install started, it started TWRP and if I restarded the device it went into a bootloop.
So I installed Philz and everything went fine!
It has been said many times already. Phliz is the way to go when flashing OTAs.

I copied the zip from /cache and am attempting to install it with the latest Philz.
I get this error in Philz when flashing the zip:
Verifying current system...
"EMMC:boot:10485....................... a0" has unexpected contents.
I restored my stock kernel (was running Faux before). My bootloader is unlocked and I am rooted.
Is it possible to flash directly? Or must I restore stock recovery, flash and reroot?
Is it OK to flash this if I'm already on 4.4.4?

You´ve restored wrong kernel. It may be working for you, but it is different from stock. The error says that there is something that is not supposed to be there in the kernel partition.

1. You can´t flash this if you are on anything other than en.EU 4.4.2. This is not a complete ROM, but rather an update for a specific ROM version.
2. It is possible reflash your XT1032 with en.EU 4.4.2 firmware and then update it to 4.4.4, but if you don´t know what you are doing, you could brick your device (several people have when they tried to downgrade the bootloader).
3. What improvement in conectivity do you mean? Is the tesco firmware limited in any way? AFAIK it isn´t, so leave it as it is and be happy about a great phone with the latest Android version.

If you're still on Stock Recovery and don't want to use Philz, you can try to update the OTA by following the steps in the OP of this Post. I tried a lot of flashing, but in the end only this worked:

Knizmi is right. You modified your build.prop file, and an OTA update requires unmodified system files. You can add files to /system without problems however, so the su binary for example isn't an issue.

OK, and where do i find a stock build.prop?
i don't know what modifications i have, but can i replace the stock one with my current after flashing? (and do i need to?)
HI! Firstly thanks for share the zip.
I´m using cwm recovery, superSU and xposed. Can I flash the zip directly from the recovery without any change? Will I lose the recovery (coming back to stock recovery) if I succed?
I tried to install the OTA after uninstall xposed and checking the ota survival mode on superSU, but it didn´t work (bootloop).
Thanks in advance.

Shield Update 2.2 is out!

http://shield.nvidia.com/tablet-release-notes/2.2/
now to figure out how to get this to update on my rooted LTE Tablet.....
I'm rooted and just got the update. But haven't completed the update yet as I'm too lazy to reroot.
I tried using the nvidia updater, which failed since it rebooted and CWM had no idea what to do. I made a CWM backup so I am going to see how well it flashes in CWM manually.
I managed to find the OTA download location and have superSU at the ready in my downloads folder in case I have to reflash. the OTA saved as:
/data/data/com.nvidia.ota/files/ROM/shield_tablet_software_upgrade_2.2_-_lte__5.0.1.zip
Someone please report the steps on how to do this for Rooted 2.1.
CWM install zip failed. build fingerprint mismatched, its probably CWM. Will try sideloading stock recovery then installing the zip afterward, I think I remember seeing somewhere here that's how people upgraded rooted devices from 2.0 to 2.1
Omg things seem to be more snappy! The dreaded lag may be gone! I'm not rooted so I did the ota install
I'm really interested in your findings, i need to find a tutorial on how to flash back stock recovery then i can do the update and hopefully reroot.

Awsome sounds good. Quick question to get stock recovery back all id have to do is extract the recovery.img file from the ota 2.1 file i downloaded off nvidia's site and load it like i did the CWM recovery from the root thread right?
Or (if you've got root) wait until the full 2.2 .zip is available, then download it and flash it through your custom recovery, followed by the latest SuperSU. (just like the last Lollipop update).
Interestingly, the OTA update tool has an option for "Check full update" (under the top right menu), but it doesn't seem to return anything...yet...

You won't be able to successfully flash the UPDATE .zip file (~94MB) on a rooted (read: modified) Lollipop version.
Recovery version is irrelevant.
You need the FULL 2.2 rom (already found above , ~731MB), flash it in your current custom recovery and re-root by flashing SuperSU again.

ok, here's what I dug up. If you are rooted and want it NOW, get to it, otherwise wait for someone to clean up the process:
get the OTA from here: https://forums.geforce.com/default/...hread-released-2-17-15-/post/4464815/#4464815
get your latest SuperSU flashable zip: http://download.chainfire.eu/396/SuperSU/
get your recovery ready for reflashing, the OTA will install the stock recovery again. I went with: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=58864006&postcount=90
boot into recovery and install zip from sideload. then choose either: adb sideload productionBL-droid-signed-wx_na_do-full_ota-29979_512.4856.zip or adb sideload productionBL-droid-signed-wx_na_wf-full_ota-29979_512.4856.zip
reboot and let the upgrade happen, you've lost root and recovery, but you still are unlocked so you just have to reflash them. get into fastboot with power and volume down, then flash recovery: fastboot flash recovery openrecovery-twrp-2.8.5.0-shieldtablet.img
load up recovery and flash the superSU zip and you're back in business.

[Guide] Flash OTAs with TWRP (OS 2.1.3/ 005)

Firstly, you cannot install OTA's with TWRP. You'll have to get back to stock recovery in order to install patches.
Thanks to @eng.stk, with the recovery compiled from source, we now can flash OTA Zips from TWRP.
Download TWRP 2.8.7.0: http://forum.xda-developers.com/devdb/project/dl/?id=15364
Download the following OTA's and move them to internal/external storage and proceed to install them from TWRP.

It's most likely that you tampered the system and recovery partition. I uploaded the stock recovery here, flash the stock recovery, then flash to system dump, then this patch.

is this OTA solved the problem with microsd cards?
Can anybody help with a generic error trying to flash the stock recovery again?
No reason why just says failed. I am rooted with TWRP and trying to revert to stock to be able to OTA. Last android was a nexus 4 and been away a little while so I may be missing something.. I don't want to have to wipe all my data and such can somebody assist and refresh my understanding?
Dizzyrul3z: No, microSD card issue remains according to official forum--next OTA I bet.
I'm rooted, TWRP also errored when I attempted the OTA installed.
So to clarify, using TWRP I want to install three zips: stock rom, OTA03 (system dump), and OTA04 (update), wipe cache/dalvik. Correct?
Question: I install them all at once in TWRP, right? Will any of this erase my apps/data?

Instructions:

2. Flash the system dump available at this thread.
3. Now flash this update/patch.
4. Then fastboot flash TWRP recovery if you only need it.
Just my 2 cents, boot TWRP instead of flashing it. I personally suggest.

HELP Update to latest OTA, custom recovery

Device: Moto g4 plus XT1643
Current firmware: athene_f-userdebug 6.0.1 MPJ24.139-23.1 1 release-keys
Sorry, if it's been discussed before, but I am confused so I'd really appreciate if someone points me in the right direction about updating to the latest ota update.
My device has been modified in this order:
Unlocked Bootloader > flashed TWRP 3.0.2-0 > Systemless SuperSU (updated to v2.78SR1)
> Xposed Framework v86> ElementalX Kernel G4-0.3
I have a nandroid backup which I took right before installing xposed. Have all apps+data backed up thru titanium backup.
I don't have access to a PC currently and don't have an external SD Card either, only a 16GB otg drive. I have been frequently getting system update pop-ups and want to update.
I will be really thankful if someone helps me with steps needed to get the update on my phone.
Thanks in advance
First try to flash the stock recovery. Then simply download the update package but don't install it yet. Then copy the package from the data directory of the update app & paste it in internel storage & to sd card in case u want to take a backup. Then reboot to recovery & "apply update from sdcard" .
Try this! Not so sure about it but you can try!
1625 update
I also need guidance. I have the 1625 variant, rooted. I'm using the Slim6 ROM which is very smooth. I see that they've posted update instructions for 1643. Will this process also work for 1625?
You need stock boot image, stock system partition and stock recovery for the ota to work. Other option is to download the stock ROM zip file and flash using fastboot.

How to update firmware if you've already flashed TWRP

I figured out how to update after flashing twrp. Maybe obvious to some but I've seen questions about it.
The zip in the "Convert CA to WW" thread has the stock rom in a zip file. Open it and inside is a recovery.img file in it, extract it to your adb folder on your PC.
Download the firmware update from ASUS official site and save to the root of your sd card or internal storage (it will recognize both.)
Reboot into fastboot on your device.
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
When that finishes reboot and your phone should find the update and ask if you want to install. Do so. You may need to power cycle first.
When you're done you can reflash TWRP.
Once you have TWRP you can flash Magisk or SuperSU as you see fit.
It's painless.
An old post from you, but thank you. This was really easy. I've spent 2 days trying to figure out how to upgrade without restore stock rom, boot etc. and lose all data. I was about to give up when I saw this post, I didn't expect it to work - to easy. But I could give it a try.
This was painless.
Then it took me 3 hours to figure out how to reinstall twrp again, it wasn't just to flash and reboot I had to boot directly into recovery after flash. But that is another story.
Thanks, you just saved me some time!

You need to upgrade to latest N - ...14.2020.1712.85, once you do that you should get Oreo as FOTA after reboot

Thanks, man.
Can I manually update with the recovery by downloading the rom?
I think, the FOTA won't arrive as I've rooted my phone.

When you flash stock recovery and update you unroot, so you will get FOTA. Just update to Oreo and then flash twrp and Magisk (or whatever you use) again.
I am rooted and updated to Oreo then chose updates involving battery improvement and/or system stability (downloaded to external sd), after installed the last update I flashed twrp and rooted again.
You need to flash stock recovery before update. The phone will find the updated with custom recovery but update will fail.
The site I downloaded stock recovery from is down so you have to search for it, or download RAW stock rom and extract the recovery from it

Seems like Mega is up again. You should find stock recovery here

Thanks! I ended up having to use the 11.41.87.2 recovery in order to flash a Nougat update - it wouldn't work with the older recoveries.
