The "Official" Waiting for an Update Thread

OK it was a zip file but it didn't have the .zip extension when it showed up in the download directory on my phone. If you are not supposed to open it, what are you supposed to do once it downloads?

 

[gernerttl]

Got the file to download, but it would not open when I clicked on it.

Same here. I put it in the SDCARD root folder but it would see it when I tried to update from \cache

How do I move it to the \cache directory. I tried copying it via Astro and it wouldn't let me. It said access denied.

Took the Plunge!

Well I took the plunge today and applied the 4.0.4 update. I had rooted an OG Droid a couple years ago so I had a little clue. After going to multiple websites to relearn, I now have 4.0.4!!! I actually just recently switched to a Rezound because I was so tired of my Nexus failing me but had issues with the CLNR Rezound after day 2. I heard that the update was coming out for Nexus and today decided I was going back to my Nexus, which I hadn't sent back yet, and installing the update myself. I absolutely love the Nexus and didn't want to part with it so I'm glad I was able to apply the latest update.

Where did you put the update file at?

 

[ccolston]

I put the update file in the internal storage.

 

[gernerttl]

I put the update file in the internal storage.

i tried that, but when i tried to update from sdcard in the boot loader it didn't see the file. where specifically on the internal storage

 

[ccolston]

I just copied it into internal storage,not in a particular folder within internal storage. I named the file update.zip

 

[gernerttl]

Ok. I take you then updated via the boot loader? Hmmm...I don't know why it's not working for me.

 

[ccolston]

Yeah, I used CWM Touch. Follow this link and download the Nexus toolkit. It makes it super easy. [GNex TOOLKIT V6.2] Drivers, Backup, Unlock, Root, CWM, Flash, Mods + MUCH MORE [LTE]

From his description I assumed he flashed in CWM. You can flash in stock recovery, but it has to be in /cache. If that's what you're doing, I have no idea why it's not working. I'd just fastboot a cwm img real quick and then flash the zip in the custom recovery (this is assuming your bootloader is unlocked though)

I tried to drop the update.zip folder into the /cache and it said access denied. I am rooted so, I thought that I could put files where ever I needed them.

Did you grant R/W access to the /cache folder? It's Read only by default.

Nope. That would explain why I don't have R/W access. "Amazing! A quick control thrust, and he's back on course!"

Problem solved!

Thanks!
