[Q] OTA to MA7 didn't work

---

I have my GN2 rooted (via toolkit), currently on LJC. Also have OTA Rootkeeper installed.

When I tried to accept the OTA update from Sprint, it downloaded (something), rebooted, etc. But the phone is still on LJC.

Checking for software updates now tells me that my software is current.

I've tried clearing the download cache and Google services framework, but the phone still thinks it's up to date.

What's the next, best step?

I don't really want to go the route of a custom recovery and flashing if I can help it.

Thanks

Stuck?

Unfortunately it looks like something is messed up. Hopefully someone with more knowledge will come along, but I know for me, I had to factory reset and manually load to MA7...

Looks like this got it going again. At least the download has initiated this time. (Crosses fingers)

Scratch that. Got the download going again, rebooted, but still on LJC.

Tried hiding root with rootkeeper, is there a chance that having root hidden still gets in the way of the update?

I had a similar setup and using OTA Rootkeeper worked for me. Maybe if you have Exynos Abuse, it is causing trouble?

To MA7

Try one of Garwyns MA7 One Clicks from your rooted LJC. They will get you on MA7 kernel, and updates (no Data or Full Restore). Modem flashed seperately.

I have this same problem. I actually got so frustrated I unrooted and did a factory reset. Even with a factory reset the update STILL doesn't work. I've tried a few times. It just reboots and fails half way through. I'm not sure what to do at this point and I'm tempted to just bring it to a sprint store.

when you were rooted did you uninstall any stock apps? this can cause update to fail. search qbking77 video on how to install update on GN2. again, complete update through Garwynns MA7 One Clicks. simple and flawless.

No removed apps on my side. I may look into the one click update, although I don't know that I favor a method that requires flashing radios separately.

Thanks. I found that I did remove sprint zone. However, even after putting it back on it still won't work.

I just found the one click thing. Seems very simple and I'll give that a try. Thank you very much
