Hello. Are you rooted? Or with twrp? Go back to stock recovery and unroot, the update checks for moddified system and aborts the install. Once you go back to stock. Recovery and unrooted you have to go to settings. Apps. All apps. Look for google services and manage space and clear data. Then look for google services framework and clear data and cache and force close. Then check again for update and shoulsld start downloading it.

Checking on what i said previously. It wont update after unrooting with super su. Have to get back to full stock... We have to wait for somebody that make a twrp flashable 6.0 update. Or a metro pcs go-back-to-stock procedure...

I'm also on katana. I'm not sure if it's okay to just update straight from the OTA or not. I'm probably not going to update until someone releases a root and xposed method. Can someone more experienced confirm/deny the safety of accepting official OTA while on a custom ROM?

No.
You can never install an OTA on a rooted phone. Never ever. It will bork your phone.
If you really want the OTA, go back to stock via kdz and then proceed.
If you are not rooted and get the OTA, after install, it will ask to update google play services. You may see some error messages as it needs to update apps. to MM.

Hi. I just downloaded the kdz file. Im going to flash the kdz file to put it stock and then update to mm. I did not tried other procedure but on every forum people says "thou shall not install an ota on a rooted phone" so im sticking to those words right now... Ill be back with results... But maybe tomorrow, i gotta go to work.
Don't Bother...
While Marshmallow on the LG Gstylo sports some really cool features the battery life suck donkey nuts. I reverted back to the Kitana roms just because of that. Not much else to say... Hopefully a new update will come from the Marshmallow to improve battery life.
I just received the update too but if the battery sucks and no xposed then I don't see a really good reason to go to all the trouble I'll just stay in my katana until something better comes along

I just made this account about thirty seconds ago. I mostly lurk for minor things, so sorry if I don't seem totally sure of what's up. I've seen a few of your posts and you're here now so I might as well ask.
I'm having this issue as well. I followed a guide here on how to root so I could remove ads and use some apps. I updated without thinking this morning which leading to an error - no clue what kind - and I promptly undid the root and I'm still not having any luck. After clearing the cache and like I can get the device to recognize it needs an update, but it keeps getting an error during the actual update and we're back at square one. I've tried LG Bridge and LG Bridge thinks my device is up to date.
I tried looking for some guides on how to get this to work, but I keep reading that I'll lose OTA for future updates. I also don't even know where to start on the fixes I've read since they jump head-first into stuff I've never seen or know where to read about before.

Clear your cache partition and reboot your phone.
Make sure all apps are updated.
If that fails you need to do a factory data reset.
Battery life is just fine on my wife's Stylo. I've had MM using the T-mobile version on my Metro Stylo. Battery life is fine.
Does anyone know how long it'll take for a flashable zip of android 6.0 to show up

Everyone knows that RRO/layers is baked in to all marshmallow ROMS, right? All you have to do is root, then install layers manager from playstore. That's why I want the update. I'm so surprised nobody talks about this.

Sorry I haven't been around, I know it sucks I left everyone hanging on that bit of information. Yes, Google has baked RRO/layers into marshmallow. Just like I said before, all you need is root, then layers manager app from the play store. Sometimes it takes like 2 or 3 tries to get it to work, but, being a fan of theme chooser since Cm7, I love the ability to theme everything, I love making everything dark and transparent. So, I just haven't had the time to return to stock and update, but has anyone else tried what I said?
Update!!!! Ive got some layers to apply. Please excuse my signature as i dont work for android headlines anymore. Well, that should cause all kinds of buzz around these forums.
New update! Apparently I over shot the Android version, RRO layers is in lollipop also

I just got a prompted notification that 2.3.2 system update is now downloaded and verified in my phone. Just need to go ahead and ok the install/update on my phone. Not sure if most or all are getting this?
Should I? LOL
more info:
"Android 2.3.2
601kb
This system update from Google contains important bug fixes."
Go for it.
This is probably the update that includes the major SMS bug fix. Samsung posted to their official twitter account that and update to address that is coming very soon.
It looks like v2.3.2 is the one.
Funny thing though, I never had problems with the SMS bug. I have sent/received SMS (2k+). And when I got the notification, I just pulled the battery off to check my S/N to register in the Samsung website. LOL
Is there any other bug/fixes with this updates other than the SMS bug?
If you're rooted, you might want to wait and see if it's safe to do it (ie., doesn't break root) unless you're confident on how to get it back. The last update screwed with Recovery and gave some people some slight grief for a short period.
Just rooted
Wouldn't you know it? After I just finish rooting using the step by step guide, the first thing that pops up is that there is an update to install. So my question is, will installing this update kill my root? Or any other negative consequences for my newly-rooted SNS if I update to 2.3.2?
Just rebooted after update, seems that at least the browser got some kind of lagfix, for example www.n4g.com.
"Your system is currently up to date."
hmmm.... what about people on Custom ROMS ?
i check the Settings > About > System Updates
and there's nothing it says
"Your system is currently up to date."
Without thinking I chose to install it while being rooted and not backing up. After it rebooted it froze (when it couldn't find a recovery I'm guessing.) I pulled the battery, let it reboot, and I'm still 2.3.1 and rooted. Just FYI

Often one have to wait untill the devs implement the update into the custom rom.
Generally once you're on a custom rom, you're best to wait for the rom dev to give you guidance.

Not sure without being able to open the update file and see what it actually does.
IF you're going to try it. Have a nandroid backup made of your system as it is right now, and have a copy of CWM recovery handy to reflash via fastboot.
You'll probably have to re-root if you can even get the OTA to stick (like the one post above that says it didn't...)
so, back to stock recovery before update?
swype
FYI, swype did not work after update, had to reinstall, now works fine.
How do I get this update?
Made a check for updates in my NS, and I got none.
Still in 2.3.1 here.
Would those of you who get it, if you have a chance, please run the logcat on your phone BEFORE updating and try to catch the url so we can get a manual link for it:
in order to extract the url for the system update, we need to run alogcat from the market, then when the update notification appears look in your logs for a url that says something like clients.google . You can install alogcat, then set filter to clients.google

It's going to roll out slowly, just like the 2.3.1 and Market updates did. I don't think all the checkins in the world will speed it up by any significant amount.
What we impatient types need is someone who is offered the update to grab the url so we can just manually download it.

Tried to take the ota cause I read that after the update you can just reroot with the io tool. When I tried to take the update it said this device is suspected of rooting or something along those lines and the update failed to download and install. Has this happened to anyone else?

I didn't have this issue. I downloaded the update, but my problem was that I had a custom recovery installed and when my chromecast rebooted my phone, it sent it into a bootloop that wouldn't get out of recovery. I found an article here to fix that, but needless to say that I won't be doing OTA's with custom recovery again.
If you take the update, your recovery will loop. There is a fix for it in the root thread by @thecubed. So, the choice is yours.
Sent from my LG-D800
I was just rooted on the stock rom. Forgot to mention that. I did however have "survive ota" checked in superuser though, I wonder if that had anything to do with it. I haven't tried it again with that unchecked. The update just isn't important enough to me to justify messing with it, I just took it because I was out of postpone attempts. But now the message is completely gone and not nagging me anymore and everything still works fine root and all.

OTA update from Phone will fail if you are rooted. Either on custom recovery or rooted status. Don't use update from phone, but connect phone to PC and use LG Support Tool. This one doesn't care of root, it will download full 10c update 1.9GB and update your phone. I just did it this way (rooted + TWRP). No problem, no data lost.
But of course, you need to root it again and install custom recovery as well.

You can get it from LG website. Or for example in this thread.
Don't do it!
Unless you NEED the ISIS functionality, I STRONGLY urge you to postpone or even disregard D80010o altogether. I don't know what "bug fixes" their release notes talked about as I've not seen one single improvement over D80010d, yet battery drain, battery drain. Once you update you'll notice your battery going downhill and all of a sudden "Android System" takes up about 50% of your battery usage. It's happened to 2 LG G2s I've owned, battery was phenomenal before the update, after the update... like I said. You'll learn to hate "Android System". I'd either wait for 4.3 or KitKat altogether.
Hi all,
I received the OTA upgrade notice recently and I let it upgrade the device. The installation process can be initiated after reboot, but after a while I get the "Error" screen with the android logo lying down with a triangle exclamation mark at its stomach. It then gets stuck there for a couple of minutes, and then reboot to the original operating system.
Since there isn't any information on the error screen, I can't tell what causes the error. Has anyone encountered this and what should I do (or just wait)?
Thanks!

If you are on a custom rom/kernel/recovery i.e. not 100% stock, OTA will fail. Even if you are completely stock and rooted, OTA may fail.

It's completely stock. I once used Kingo Root to root my phone, but had soon reversed the operation. Not sure if that is a possible cause, but apart from that I didn't make any material change to the core system.

i was just offered the OTA update for my Nexus 4 in the UK. i accepted the update and as far as i can tell, it downloaded it, then went to install it. however, that didn't seem to happen. after going through the motions and wanting to reboot, which i obviously allowed, the phone still displays as being v4.4.4 when i check for updates though, it tells me the phone is up to date.
i dont know what to do now, so would be glad of any assistance offered, please
just offered and accepted the download again. same result. it appears to be 2 things preventing the update from happening. the first one is about accepting an untrusted/ zip package (or something like that) and the 2nd is about fixing root. i have tried doing 'yes' to both of them and 'no' to both as well. same result, the download downloads but wont install.
could i upgrade using the Android Toolkit? i have paid for it, so have the pro features, but the update wasn't offered through it earlier

Do you have a custom recovery? CWM gives that untrusted package message if you have signature verification turned on. If yes, you need to revert to stock and also unroot. Supersu does have the option of unrooting so you could try that. You could check out the toolkit, at least it can be used for backing up your data to the PC.
tnx for the info, venu123. progress made so far. i downloaded the Lollipop image and put it into the folder within Android Toolkit. i then let it do it's thing. the phone is now updated but i am struggling to get root again and also need some instructions on how to get it to sync again as a lot of the apps i had on the phone are not there now. anyone able to help with this please?
gonna have another try to get root on the phone. if successful, willpost back
---------- Post added at 08:12 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:47 PM ----------
ok then. Android Toolkit didn't work. i can only assume that it's something to do with the Lollipop image not being in the program. however, i did get root by using the latest wugfresh app. many tnx to you for your efforts, wugfresh.
the one thing left for me to do now is somehow get the apps i had before the Lollipop update on the phone again. any help would be great, as i cant even see an option to sync the phone.

Is there a way to flash without wiping my data? Clearing my data is the last thing I'd want to do and, if this is unavoidable, I might just stay put.
I have a thought: since the message is telling me that dexdump has unexpected contents (that file actually doesn't seem to be there, as I've just checked), is it possible to just replace this file to bypass the problem? Thing is I cannot find this file anywhere for download.
Nevermind.. I copied that file from the factory image and the installation went smoothly!
I was sitting in my car and looked at the screen and I noticed that the phone was downloading MotorolaOTA 4.0 Does anyone know what it is? I am currently running KitKat 4.4.4 and never did the Lollipop update.
I also stopped the download in process but it appears that the phone would love to continue the download.
Thanks

The phone has an app called MotorolaOTA, which is responsible for downloading system updates. If it was a software update it'd say it's 23.11.39.

For over a month I have been getting the update screen and I would just put it off. Now it seems like it is pushing it's way into my phone.
Motorola confirmed recently that they would be patching the Stagefright exploit for the Turbo via OTA. I wonder if they can somehow force the update since it's such an important security issue this time around. I seem to remember Samsung doing something similar with the S6 shortly after release. I would recommend disabling Motorola OTA until more is known.
Not rooted, cannot disable.
Caught my phone doing the same thing. Is Lollipop larger than 770MB? I thought so, but haven't checked into it.
That's what I have been trying to figure out.

CM 12.1 ROM (Lollipop 5.1.1) for our Quarks is only 390 MB.
So, yeah, Lollipop 5.1 with Verizon bloatware is probably 770MB.
But the 5.1 OTA for Droid Turbo XT1254 posted here is 1.1GB:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/dro...quark-stock-firmware-moto-maxx-droid-t3063470
Still 770MB is huge.

My phone downloaded it. Been telling it no thanks for a few days now. Some home after telling it to remind me later it then decided to reboot and start installing. I haven't rooted yet but I have bought moforoot and don't want my 20 bucks to go to waste! Of course I can boot up without it wanting to install. Went into bootloader and powered it off. Almost though i couldn't get into that.
Any way I can stop this thing? Trying to get someone at home to turn on my PC since that is where my moforoot is at and stupid me didn't put it on my server which is on 24/7. Any ideas?

Before my turbo was rooted, I was able to block the OTA's by installing the motorola drivers on my windows pc and installing Minimal ADB / Fastboot. Go here for instructions http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=57436867&postcount=26
However, I never did download any of the OTA's to my phone but I hope this helps. I believe this is by Rootjunky as far as credits are concerned.

The debloat tool is a much easier way to disable any app on your phone. On kitkat it disables and on lollipop it hides the apps. The hide command on lollipop has the same effect as the disable command on kitkat.

My phone downloaded it. Been telling it no thanks for a few days now. Some home after telling it to remind me later it then decided to reboot and start installing. I haven't rooted yet but I have bought moforoot and don't want my 20 bucks to go to waste! Of course I can boot up without it wanting to install. Went into bootloader and powered it off. Almost though i couldn't get into that.
Any way I can stop this thing? Trying to get someone at home to turn on my PC since that is where my moforoot is at and stupid me didn't put it on my server which is on 24/7. Any ideas?

Enter recovery mode, clear cache and use the debloat tool to disable the OTA.

Yea no go on Recovery. It just goes straight to "Installing System update" Got my PC on, downloaded my mofo to my work PC, and not installing drivers and also downloading a stock but rooted version of 4.4.4. not quite ready to move on to 5.1 yet.
Thanks for the help though and tryin to help out! Now to finally jump into my Turbo after 8 months of having it. I miss the days of TWRP on my Razr HD. Funny because i had to reload an old backed up image so i could get some old wifi passwords.
UGH this damn phone. Won't power off when in Fastboot, so i just have to let it sit in fastboot and watch it and just restart everytime it starts up. got 20 minutes left of downloading an image. About ready to say F'it and just factory reset it for now and see if that fixes it or not.
Well flashing a stock rooted rom didn't work. Uses the rooted Quark 21.44.12 image that I download and I know i was on 21.44.12 when i checked last time. So don't know if it was because of the starting up the update or what.
Soft bricked my turbo, time to use RSD Lite again. Haven't had to use this in a LOOOOOONG time (Like Droid X Days)

I'm probably too late but have you tried this to get back to KitKat? I used it earlier today and it worked great.

No I had to get my phone backup asap. using the RSD Lite method actually didn't work. the program would keep freezing right after it read the zip file and then crash. Had to use Root Junky's method. I was able to restore back to stock 21.44.12 and everything was there as if nothing happened so I'm all good.
My wife has started being prompted to this system update the last week for 24.81.3.en.ca. I'm wondering if she can hit install no problem or if i'll need to unroot (or do more?) before i can install.
I've looked and actually can't find much info on this specific update so not sure why that is but if someone could confirm that would be helpful as i dont want to brick her phone as she already doesn't like me 'fiddling with it' so i'll be a dead man but the constant prompts are also starting to annoy her.
Thanks!
I did this update today. Thought it was nougat. Biggest problem for me, was I seem to have lost 60gb of downloaded music on my 128gb sd card. Google play music started downloading EVERYTHING again. Also, all the programs that were on my SD card, disappeared from my home screens. The apps were still there in the app drawer, just had to put the shortcuts back. Not really sure what the update addressed.

October security patch
Sent from my XT1562 using XDA-Developers mobile app
I installed it but, StageFright Detector still tells me that my phone is vulnerable even with this security update. Google needs to make more efforts. Or maybe, Motorola should've given us the December 2016 update instead of a two month old update.
I saw a timeline earlier regarding a Nougat update in Dec for X Play? Any word?
ok so do i just unroot and install or something else? Or is there anyway to hide the update prompts?

Please share ota file on share drive like, googledrive/dropbox/etc.
Yeah if someone can share it, that'd be great. I can't go back to my stock ROM anymore cause I did the update, then tried CM14.1 and now, trying to go back I get (bootloader) preflash validation failed...

So I'm using the stock Rom but the bootloader is unlocked and rooted so I have to unroot only and install the update then re-root?

In your bootloader the status should say "unmodified/original(something like that)" you need stock recovery.
Easiest way is to download the new firmware and flash it.

Do NOT do this update. Nothing but problems since. Now will not recognize my sd card at all. Will not format it, gives tons of errors. Called Motorola support, they are aware of problems. Terrible idea.
Maybe that's why I'm completely unable to relock the bootloader with the official ROM?

Thanks, I was just doing a TWRP backup on my device to start the process of installing this update. I'll subscribe and wait for others opinion before installing.

I've never been able to relock a Moto device. I thought that was a Nexus only feature, but I could be wrong.

You can relock them but it will always remain as having been unlocked (status code 2). I've done it several times after tinkering with CM but after yesterday's update I can't do it anymore. I get a preflash verification error.

To save you looking around, here's a reminder how to stop updates: https://forums.lenovo.com/t5/MOTO-G...llipop-update-notification/m-p/3204499#M19669
If you really want to get rid of the Lollipop update notification go to "Setting" then scroll down to "Apps" and select it. It will take you to another screen. Since it's asking you to update you have downloaded the update that enables you to upgrade. Under the "Download" tab scroll down until you find "Motorola Update Services" and select it. You'll have three options at the top, "Force stop, Uninstall Updates and Disable." Select "Disable." It will then prompt you "Delete data and disable app?" Select "OK." It will then ask "Do you want to replace this app with the factory version?" Select "OK." You will no longer be asked to upgrade. If you ever want to upgrade just enable it under the the app again under the "Disabled" tab in the App menu, just swipe to the far right and enable. Don't forget to download the update from the playstore to enable the upgrade to Lollipop in the future.

I simply use Link2SD to freeze apps like this.

That's unfortunate for you. Personally, I don't have any problem after the update. The only trouble I had at first was that it was refusing to install because I had root. I tried to unroot and then reinstall default recovery but I still had the same error. I had to flash factory image on the phone before installing it.
Alright the firmware with the update was added to https://github.com/motoxplay/stock !
Update 24.81.3.en.ca "error!" during install process

Hi Guys,
Newbie to this forum...here's hoping you can help resolve my issue. The latest update (24.81.3.en.ca ) does not want to install on my x play get an" error!" message mid-way through the install. Performed a factory reset ( a few times) as per Motorola customer support. Still get the same error message mid-installation…Any suggestions? My phone is stock ( not rooted ...yet). I noticed other users having issues with this update. Was wondering if I don't install this update will I still be able to install Nougat (when it becomes available)? Other than this issue the phone works great no problems.
Cheers!
