I dont remember him mentioning he had a rootkeeper. So rerooting and then unrooting didnt help? Also make sure you're using the latest d4 utility 0.4.

in the sea. sometimes on land as well
i had the same problem and fixed it. first when your rooted, copy the stock apks and odexes and replace the build.prop from my first dump. change their permissions to rw--r--r and it will update.
here is a link for the 6.13.215 dump http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-4-hacks/198775-droid-4-dump.html
directions are here

i personally had verification problems during the patch so i replaced all deleated apks,odexes and build.prop and it worked fine
directions:
1.root your phone. and voodoo rootkeep it.
2.install root explorer.
3.copy the needed files to your sd card(apk, odex)
4.navigate to /system/app with root explorer
5.change the folder to rw from ro
6.copy the odex and apk from your sdcard to /system/app
8.change the folder back to ro
7.change permissions of the odexs and apks to rw-r-r
9.copy build.prop to /system/ with root explorer
10.change permissions to rw-r-r
11.reboot and flash the update

bty im rooted and the update worked fine i used voodoo rootkeeper as well

As you said earlier the D4 can be finicky. With help from people here I just could not get safestrap to install, but after the update I was able to install it using the D4 utility.

Bro. Download Voodoo RootKeeper from the market. It is free. Open it. Push the only button available. It will de root your phone. Just try it.

I tried replacing the files and all that stuff. I got the sane thing. Now this voodoo rootkeeper is not in the market.

It' s "OTA root keeper" by voodoo. Just search for OTA and it should pop right up.
