Problem:

  • The Android (OTA) System update fails but doesn't show the reason why.

Solution:

  • Open a root explorer (e.g. ES Datei Explorer) and mount the system partition as root.
  • The update log file is located at the following location: /cache/recovery/last_log
  • Browse to this location and open the file with a text editor.

Context:

  • Device: Nexus 7
  • Status: rooted
  • Android version: 4.2
