Firmware update Nokia X/XL on Rooted device

josheadj · Jul 28, 2014

Hi
This q is actually about Nokia XL but should also apply for X (since there is no thread for Nokia XL)

I have a rooted XL. Got a notification that there is a FW update and selected "Update"

The phone rebooted and crashed in the middle, with a white triangle image, and rebooted back to the current firmware.
I have no idea how to update this!! I unrooted it using supersu and tried again, still same result.

Finding a stock updated rom is a huge headache as there are very very few devs workin on XL

So...can anybody help me?
Thanks.

I recommend using Nokia Care Suite to flash the latest Stock ROM yourself.

Hi i was getting the same problem but i was able to update then.
the steps i have have followed were:
1.Turn off your nokia xl mobile and again while turning on your mobile you will get a nokia logo on the screen at that time press and hold the volume up button for 10 seconds then you will be getting a recovery window from there you have to select apply update from the external storage option by using power button.
*Selection can be done using the power button.
2.After selecting that you have to select the Android -->>data-->>com.nokia.update-->>files-->>update.Inside update folder you will see the 1.2.3.1 update file which you have downloaded and then select the file by using the power button and the update will start installing like normal. Atleast this was working in my case.I am sure this will solve the problem.

Same here

I have downloaded the update.
I tried to manually update with recovery mode(both stock and TWRP)
Getting error in executing update script in TWRP. It shows updating partitions but fails.
Have a solution, yet?

Bro, you are a genius. Thanks,
although it said "Update Failed and installation aborted"
verifying current system...
assert failed: apply)patch_check("/system/app/provision.apk", sth and just rebooted.

but i guess i know what the problem might be, i'll try removing gapps reflash the old 1.1.1 rom and then try to update.
that might work. will get back. but thanks for the reply

SOLVED !!

YESS!!

phew!
so heres what i did.

i downloaded a stock rom of 1.1.1 and flashed it using AngSanley's Nokia X Flasher.
(didnt wipe data, that option can be left unchecked)

Then,
Reboot,
selected update again
and voila !! It did..without any problems. And btw, theres now a recent apps button on the drop down status bar in 1.2.3.1, looks smooth.
so...:laugh:

okay, first, download AngSanley's Nokia X Flasher (u can find it here in xda)
then, download a stock rom of nokia xl
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0BwwE8dUldDvMem4tTmxXeUFFX1E/edit

use this video to flash the rom
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=grf1mAchGlw
(you dont have to flash the userdata img, that will wipe the data)

now ur back on stock rom,

now try updating normally. should work. good luck

harsha9666 · Jul 30, 2014

I tried that but it didn't work. I'm guessing the issue was with gapps. And the only way to remove gapps was through refreshing a stock ROM.

You need to re-install the adb drivers. Then, Nokia X Manager will work once again.
