You all will be bald if you let the wait for the update get to you.

The women I've seen never went bald...aside from the ones that had to undergo chemotherapy.

Did you turn the phone off then turn it back on while holding power and X? Forgive me if I'm missing something, my knowledge is limited. FWIW, you cannot install this update if you are rooted.

Try downloading the update from a computer then transfer it to your phone via USB cable; there may be problems with your 3G signal getting interference. If you are in an area that Verizon has bad reception, and drop to 1X could botch the download and render it unusable.

I know this sounds stupid, but do you have a removable sd card?

Sorry. I sent it to you but it didn't make it for some reason. Compliments of Crapatalk I guess.

Check your inbox now. It should be there.

Does it have to be on the SD card? or can it be on internal storage. I moved it to my drop box, copied to "internal storage" using files app. Am I good to go ? previous instructions say it has to be on SD card....

I'm not sure if temp unroot would work. There's only one way to find out, but I'm not rooting my precious baby.

No. You HAVE to have it on a removable sd card.

Edit: You have to have it on a removable sd card or the D3 won't have any way to get to it. Go ahead and transfer it back to your external sd card.

I'm gonna send you a link again. Check your inbox. I'm guessing that you are either trying to flash the wrong thing or you're rooted. It seems that you're flashing the wrong thing because in your error message it says at the end "package.zip" instead of "update.zip" which I renamed it assuming that you didn't name the update package.zip. Assuming that you weren't rooted when you attempted to flash the update.zip I sent, I'm guessing that it was actually a pkg.zip that you were attempting to flash instead of the one named update.zip that I sent. Make sure you flash the update.zip and tell me the results.
