OTA Update Fails

[DaDroidDude]

Hi All.
I just downloaded and began installation of an OTA update that failed.
I have a Rooted Rezound though none of the bloat has been removed.
I believe I'm using Ramon Ra Recovery.
The error message is as follows:

RA Revamped
Build RaVIGOR v3.13 getitnowmarketing
Finding Update Package

Installing Update

Verifying current system...
assert failtd: apply_patch_chek (*/system/app/Blockbuster.apk", "5da851E unknown command [d17b077ac213846d4b48890788a7c2e84b",]
E. Error in /cache/fumo/OTAPkg.zip
[Status 7}
Installation aborted.

Any idea why this is and how I fix it?
Is this update really necessary with ICS coming?

Thanks
B

You MUST flash back the stock recovery.

download it
PH98IMG-2.01.605.11-vigor-recovery.zip

Take the recovery_signed.img file out of it and place it in the PC's folder that contains adb and fastboot.

These are scotty's directions:

adb devices <-check connectivity

adb reboot bootloader <-boot to fastboot

fastboot devices <-again,check connectivity

fastboot flash recovery recovery_signed.img <-flash recovery

fastboot reboot <-reboot your phone

P.S. It is possible that you have some additional problem, but I have read that stock recovery is mandatory for any OTA update.

Also, if you can save your update.zip file from the OTA and share it - this might be helpful for other people.

 

[DaDroidDude]

Ugh.
Thanks.
I can stay rooted though, right?

 

[HowardZ]

I think you can be rooted before the OTA, but the OTA update will remove your root.

I have read that one needs to be STOCK GB before the OTA.

If you're rooted and able to download it again, once it downloads, before anything else, look in the /cache directory for the .zip file and possibly a .crc file - pull/copy those to your sd card, then share!

Do you remember the filesize of the OTA download?

Also, I know you said you have no bloat removed, but are you sure about blockbuster? (just looking at the error lines...)

Before doing this do I boot the phone into recovery mode?

 

[HowardZ]

Scotty's directions assume you are
o booted normally
o usb cable connected to PC
o usb mode is charge only
o usb debugging is enabled in the phone's settings menu.

You got the ICS OTA?

I forgot the specifics on how to use adb.
Can you direct to URL with instructions, so I don't take anymore of your time?
Thanks

I don't know if it's ICS or not.
Let you know when I fix the recovery.

 

[jntdroid]

do you remember the filesize?

 

[HowardZ]

Ok, first you need to have a directory on your hard drive with the adb and fastboot programs and their library files.

Download this - Scotty gets the credit
mini-adb.zip

Put the contents of the zip file into a folder on your PC.
Perhaps call it C:\Android\
Or whatever you like.

Then place the recovery_signed.img file in that directory.

Then open a Windows command window (looks like the old dos window) and change to the directory C:\Android (or whatever name you gave it)

Then connect the phone to the PC and perform the commands - you will likely need to wait a while between typing each of the commands.

Howard
P.S. I would have thought you went through all this getting Ramon RA recovery installed on your phone.

P.P.S. Oh, another way to install the stock recovery is to rename the ZIP file(it contained the recovery_signed.img file and another needed file) to be PH98IMG.ZIP and place it on your SD card. Then use bootloader to install it, then delete the ZIP file.

OP here.
I reflashed the recovery but the update fails.

I booted into the recovery.
It says
Unlocked
Vigor Put Ship S-ON RL
HBoot - 2.10.0000

at the top.
Is this the stock recovery?

[jntdroid]

Yes that sounds right.

So it let you download it again? Did you catch the file size? Or try and pull it from /cache?

[DaDroidDude]

52.5 mb
Is file size.
What does that mean?
