Ota failed

[cdm369]

Last night my ota for gingerbread became available but after the install process it says update failed on both attempts. I am rooted but no other mods so far. Anyone know why this is happening

Clear your cache first, then try again if you haven't bootstrapped.

How?

you need to unroot

No, ota should automatically remove root. I managed to flash the unrooted leak while rooted, just had to clear cache after removing bootstrap.

Did you ever remove/rename bloat, with a script,with TB, renaming via a root explorer etc?

While there are obvious exceptions (e.g. using root to install Titanium Backup but not actually doing anything with it), if you ever did something that needed root, there is a chance that you changed something in the system, that will prevent OTA working.

If you're bootstrapped, just sbf but instead of wiping data, just wipe cache. As for the update failing, wipe your cache. Factory data reset might be necessary, but I doubt that.

Did run bootstrap and did remove skype think that was it...

Guys, repush is in about half an hour. Get your phones cleaned up now if you haven't already.

Removed bootstrap...I think...cleared cash and still will not accept update....runs about one third through install and reboots....then says update failed...what now

I'm not sure how exactly you managed to do it.

z4root replaces /system/bin/logwrapper and the OTA checks that file's SHA checksum.

yes can we get instructions on how to remove boot strap please

What will a factory data reset do. Wonder if that will eliminate the problem
