I attempted as many did to update the new OTA. You can find it on this forum. I constantly got an error 7 after the install failed as the install looked at my Preinstall files. After any number of attempts, I used a standard Preinstall directory. I deleted the current Preinstalled, using Root Explorer I did a copy paste. Bingo, Bango, Bongo. Install Complete!!
Here is a link to a dropbox copy of the preinstall.
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/8489906/preinstall.zip
posted a couple of different forums. Trying to help
Some were having trouble with the dropbox download. On another site a helpful member uploaded them to:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=LKAU0HOO
Might just be me, but the link isn't working. Can you re-post it?

Some help
My solution to the how and it goes without saying - you are on your own if you brick you phone.
1. Download the file. I am uploading to another online file site now and will update the link soon.
2. Unzip the downloaded file preinstall.zip on your computer. Connect USB to computer as a mass storage drive and copy preinstall directory to your SD-Ext.
3. Disconnect your computer and start Root Explorer. If you don't have it, it is available in the Market.
4. Go to the Main (root) directory of your Razr and scroll down to the Preinstall Directory. Using Root Explorer copy the current preinstall directory to your SD-ext in an out of the way directory.
5. Go back to the root directory. At the top of the screen is an small icon labeled RW. Select this option by touching the icon - it should now say RO. RW=Read Write RO-Read Only. The directory must be in the RW state to copy the preinstall directory.
6. Go back to the root directory and delete the old "preinstall" directory.
6. Go back to the SD-Ext where you stored the downloaded "Preinstall" directory. Select this file and copy. Root Explorer will now have the Paste option showing on the bottom left of the screen.
7. Navigate back to the Root (main) directory and press "paste". Root Explorer should now paste the downloaded copy of the preinstall into the root directory.
Note: Based on my limited experience if you simple copy and overwrite the preinstall directory, portion of the old preinstall will be left in the root directory. These files are the problem causing the Error 7 in the update - IMO.
Hope this helps.

I hope this works This has been driving me crazy! I'll post my results and spread the word to others I've spoken to about this frustrating issue. Great find, and thanks for sharing!
Edit: Strange, as soon as I delete the original preinstall folder, and hit paste, it asks if I want to merge folders instead of just paste. If I go into another folder, then back to the root folder, preinstall reappears... I'll try merging, but sounds like that isn't going to work.
Edit 1: Failed Maybe my issue has something to do with the preinstall folder being repopulated the instant I delete it, which doesn't allow me to simply replace it with the one hosted in the OP.
I believe I only have one option now... to learn how to dev, graduate, intern at Motorola, get a job at Motorola and work my way up the ladder until I can decide how FXZ files are protected, and release them to the public!
I still get this error

Strange issue with the preinstall
Not sure whats happening with the preinstall but I see that Nitro has a very straightforward install on another Razr forum.
Could you possibly direct me to that, via pm if necessary?

Ok so I have rooted my Hero and all is well. I've been trying to replace the sound files in system/media/audio/ui where the keyboard sounds are. I find that I cannot move a file into that folder, or apparently any of those folders. When I try to paste a copied or cut file using root explorer into the ui folder, the file just doesn't appear.
Why is this?

have you tried with and without file extention?
Yes. Root explorer just won't let me move any files around in the phone memory. Do I have to do it using adb?
I have a feeling its Root Explorer not working properly in Hero.
I could do this easily on my magic, but I get the same thing - looks like its copied the file, but when I paste, nothing happens at all.
I did manage to delete the Stocks app. from the device (don't use it or need it) using root explorer but other attempts to copy and pasdte have failed.
I have however managed to successfully use Astro File Manager to copy a wallpaper file from the device memory and paste to the SDcard. Will explore Astro a little further and see if it can do more on the device.

Phew, not just me being thick then....
I spent most of today trying to backup an .apk from /data/app-private to /sdcard. No luck with Root Explorer, adb pull or a 'cp' from the shell. "Remote file does not exist" was the result of the last two, but it's displayed by ls.
I think anything in app-private is a no go anyway as it contains copy protected apps. With regard to astro - it can copy from device in certain locations, and paste to sd to back up, but it can't delete from the device, and it can't copy or move files to the device.

Unless you made other changes than rooting, the /system partition is mounted read-only by default. As far as I know, you'll have to follow one of the root guides to mount it read-write (like you probably did to get /system/bin/su in place) and then do whatever changes you'd like.
Personally, I got tired of the boot audio real fast, so I changed useAudio in /system/media/boot_animation.xml from "1" to "0". Ahh, blessed boot silence...

And work it did for me also! Many thanks for your help - I really appreciate it.
I didn't see a thread for this anywhere and it's not included in the rooting documentation so i figured I'd make one.
This will allow you to install apk files directly from the device, no need to adb them over. Just get the apk from the web or whatever source you want and install. Of course this is all assuming you have completed the current root process and have adb access already.
Thanks to godsfilth for finding these directions for the origninal nook.
1. Open a command prompt and navigate to your sdk tools folder
2. Run the following commands
Code:
C:\android-sdk-windows\tools>adb pull /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db settings.db
C:\android-sdk-windows\tools>sqlite3 settings.db
sqlite> update secure set value=1 where name='install_non_market_apps';
sqlite> .q
C:\android-sdk-windows\tools>adb push settings.db /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
3. Reboot
4. Install apps from NC without ADB.
You might have to restart your homescreen for the apps to show up, but i've had sucess with every app i've tried that is known working on the NC.
This was done on a Windows 7 x64 machine, although i'm sure it's the same or similiar for Linux and MUC OSx.
Also, sqlite3.exe was already in my sdk tools folder, if it's not for you then you can download from here.
Yep, and you can ADB install a file manager app, then just use the file manager to install anything else, from the SD card.

What is the command in sqllite to see if the db entry has been changed?
I copied & pasted your commands and after a reboot still get "Can't install downloaded apk"
I did the same - even adapted the commands because the folder name wasn't the same, etc.

Once you enable this it will allow you to install the apps, it doesn't have anything to do with astro per se. You can just use astro to navigate to apks stored on your sd card. I use estrongs file manager myself and have installed apks from my sd card, dropbox and downloads from dolphin browser hd.
I'm getting the same error as everyone else.
I made the edits per your first post and pushed the file back to the NC. Then I rebooted. Placed an apk in the NC and tried to open it using Root Explorer. I try to install it and I get the "Installation of donwload apks is not supported" error.

look in your tools folder for the settings.db file and check the modified by time and make sure the change you are making is made.
To clarify if there's a misunderstanding the path info and text before the > in the commands is just what you would see in your command prompt. the actual commands are after the >. These are the actual commands.
Code:
adb pull /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db settings.db
sqlite3 settings.db
update secure set value=1 where name='install_non_market_apps';
.q
adb push settings.db /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
What command did you have to alter?
also, maybe try
Code:
adb push settings.db /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/settings.db
to push... I didn't have any problem with the other command and both appear to work for me.
Oh none, your commands worked awesomely, I just had to yank the folder designations that were there, which you've now done for everyone, so thanks!
I think it might be a problem somewhere else, I'm re-doing everything right now, I'll let everyone know
Ran these commands again with the additional adb push and still no dice. I checked to see that the db entry had been updated and it correctly has the install non market apps set to 1. I'm using root explorer as well I'll try estrongs as you have. Thanks for the help.

Confirmed now that SlideMe is not the issue - the settings are all correct on the PC, I can't confirm these settings for the NC. I tried re-adb-pushing and still no cigar here either. I'm getting app rejections from any source, downloaded on the NC and the SD card. Any idea what could be wrong?
Ok, definitely isolated the problem now.
I pull the settings from the NC, modify them, and everything works great, then it refuses to push it back, but says it succeeds, or something to this effect, because whenever I pull the file back from the NC, it says value=0

Not sure, I've got it working using this method on 3 different NCs myself. The only thing i can think of is that i had already installed estrongs file manager and a few other games before doing it. Maybe try using adb to install estrongs or astro and see if it will let you then.

try pulling it back right after pushing the modified one, before rebooting, and see if it's even pushing correctly at all. If it is then being reset on reboot i don't know what the issue is.

When you say "reboot", is that the same as power off and on?

make sure you're pushing the modified db file to /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases not to /data/data/com.android.providers.settings
it needs to be in the databases folder so it overwrites the original

Hi to all!
This is my first android device, and i am new to Unix-like systems.
I have tried to unlock, root & install custom rom on my phone. Used this instruction:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1302423
Everything go perfect until step:
DO NOT FORGET TO DO THIS PART: After the install of RomRacers recovery boot up your phone. Open up your favorite file browser (I used Astro file manager to do this ) and navigate to /system/etc/ and delete the file called 'install-recovery.sh'
I always get "read only" trouble. As I understand, the problem in root access. I haven’t got it.
I have tried:

Then

Will be grateful for tips how to successfully root my device.

Use root tools. And there's a little button to change it from read only to read/write. Then delete the file.

You need to go into the options of the file manager and enable root, and also mount system as writable. I use ES file explorer from market...its free. If it still fails my guess is you are not rooted.
I have root access, have checked with root checker basic. Have enabled root in es file explorer, still same problem.
I have made some photos, in attached files.
Did you also check the option 'mount system directory as writable' in es file explorer options

Hello.
I'm facing the infamous problem of "not enough space" when downloading from the market, while I actually have plenty of space. The ultimate solution seems to be moving download cache to the SD card (symbolic link). The problem is that the download cache with ICS and Google Play isn't located in /cache/download anymore, and I have been unable to find where it is located both searching with Google and browsing the filesystem.
Any help?
Look in the market for opda system tuner lite, it'll clean it right up
Go to /data/app/ and delete the Titanium Backup ODEX. If this doesn't work, read the PM I'm about to send you (moda will complain it's illegal (it isn't for this purpose though)).

Hello. Thank you both for replying, but you both answered a different question than the question I asked. I have already tried to clean market cache, to no success, and I believe very strongly that the solution is moving download cache to the SD card. I found lots of people with Google having my very same problem and fixing it this way. The problem is that I am now using MIUI ICS with Google Play, and the download cache location is different. Does anyone know where the download cache is located with ICS / Google Play Store?
Just to be 100% sure I also tried okmijnlp solution, and as I was expecting it didn't fix the problem.
Ok, solved the problem myself. The folder I had to link to SD card is /data/data/com.android.providers.downloads/cache. This worked on a MIUI v4 ROM (after rebooting).

Could you please advice how you have changed this, as i am new Android user hence not much aware how do go about it.
Hello.
I have bad news for you: after writing my last post here I realised that the problem wasn't actually solved (it only worked fine for a few hours), so linking that folder to the SD card is not a solution to the problem I was experiencing. However you are likely to need to link some folder to another one on your phone at some time, so I am explaining you these steps anyway.
First, you need to be on a rooted ROM. If you aren't, then have a look on the forum about your device here on xda and good luck for the rooting process.
Afterwards, you need the "Terminal emulator" application. If you don't have it, please download it from the market. Then run it and enter the following command:
Code:
su
This will give root rights to the terminal emulator app.
Now you can run the following commands.This will create the new folder on your SD card:
Code:
mkdir /sdcard/downloads
This should move all the contents of the "cache" directory into the new directory which you have just created:
Code:
mv /data/data/com.android.providers.downloads/cache/* /sdcard/downloads/
This should delete the now empty cache folder:
Code:
rm /data/data/com.android.providers.downloads/cache
This will finally created a symbolic link which has the same name of the old cache folder but points to the new folder on your SD card:
Code:
ln -fs /sdcard/download /data/data/com.android.providers.downloads/cache
I am not a Linux expert and I haven't tested these commands on my phone right now, so I'm not 100% sure that I haven't done any mistakes.
thanks for your reply
the solution didnt work for me as i dont have same .com folder. i tried searching on google and below steps helped in resolving the cache issue
1. You gonna need Android Terminal Simulator or equivalent terminal app. This will also require your Android rooted.
2. Type ’su’ (root permission request will be showned, you need to approve it).
3. Type ‘cd /’
4. Type ‘umount /cache’
5. Type ‘mount -o rw,remount -t rootfs rootfs /’ (to set the folder access to rw – read write)
6. Type ‘rmdir /cache’ (delete cache folder)
7. I personally using root explorer to do point 5-6
8. Type ‘mkdir /sdcard/cache’
9. Type ‘ln -s /sdcard/cache /cache (to link cache folder to /sdcard/cache – which should have bigger partition size)
Now i am able to download 30MB application on my phone from market.

Hi!
I'm having the same trouble with not enough space, and when i run these command, it says operation not permitted. What to do? :/ It says thatsome sd card doesn't allow links?
Have you typed "su"? What happened then?
In any case, let me repeat that the procedure above eventually did NOT solve the download cache problem, if this is what you are looking for. The only solution for me was switching to a different ROM.
It's not need to use the console (Terminal Emulator). Just do the following:
1. Install Root Browser Lite (grand rood permissions if neccessary)
2. Delete the /data/data/com.android.providers.downloads/cache folder
3. Create the /sdcard/cache folder
4. Go to sdcard, select the new created cache folder by long press and choose 'Create shortcut' from list, you will see 2 buttons, 'Create' and 'Cancel'
5. Go to /data/data/com.android.providers.downloads/ and tap 'Create' button below
6. Enjoy!
You can use any other root file manager, of course.
The download cache was also at /data/data/com.android.providers.downloads/cache/ on the 4.2.1 jellybean ROM I'm running right now as well.
Thanks for posting the info!

Thank you for your extremely clear explanation!
Nevertheless, despite having resolved the problem of lack of space for downloading apps from the store, with the help of your expertise, now everytime i reboot the device it shows me the message "android.process.media has stopped..."
I know it is related with the shortcut for the cache downloads.
Do you know how can I fix it?
Thank you.

Hey guys,
I am trying to get the the "up-most" folder of my HTC Droid DNA. On the phone itself I can get to a folder titled "/" which I'm assuming is the root folder of the phone. I want to get into the "/data" partition on my PC to try to fix a game file that is loading incorrectly. But when I plug the phone into my PC all I can see is the internal storage folder. I tried to enable hidden folders as well but no such luck. Any ideas?
Thanks in advanced!

You need to ADB pull it and do what you need to change and then ADB push it. However I would do only the folder like /data/Game-O-Pornstar or /data/com.your_game_name
So an example if I wanted to pull the /data/data folder I would run the command (go to android-sdk on your computer where you unlocked your phone and find platform tools or the folder that adb.exe is inside of. Hold shift, right click, choose "open command window here")
Assume first I made a new folder in platform tools and named it calculator.
"adb pull /data/data/com.android.calculator2 > C:\Android SDK\platform-tools\calculator"
It would put the contents of the com.android.calculator2 directory (folder) into my new folder that I created and called calculator. Then when I'm finished I would do the opposite to push it back
I was just trying to put the directions into more common language but here's the link to actually get the commands

There's an app called Droid Explorer for the PC that will do this with an interface but the program will often wreak havoc on your adb and fastboot drivers and services.

Hey guys,
I am trying to get the the "up-most" folder of my HTC Droid DNA. On the phone itself I can get to a folder titled "/" which I'm assuming is the root folder of the phone. I want to get into the "/data" partition on my PC to try to fix a game file that is loading incorrectly. But when I plug the phone into my PC all I can see is the internal storage folder. I tried to enable hidden folders as well but no such luck. Any ideas?
Thanks in advanced!
