[Q] Location official Android OTA Updates - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi there,
I've been getting some notifications from my HTC Desire phone about an OTA update "2.33.161.6(6.14 MB) - Android 2.2".
I downloaded the update, but sadly it doesn't install. The phone reboots, starts to show a progress bar, and then I get an exclamation point icon. Pressing home takes me to a ClockworkModRecovery screen with this showing :
Finding update package
Opening update package
Verifying update package
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted
Is there a solution for this?? I've tried many things (like enabling and disabling verification check in CWM)
I have a rooted HTC Desire GSM (stock rom) and I think it's branded (Vodafone). I have the CWM with S-Off.
I want to try to install it from recovery as an update.zip, but therefor I need to know where android saves OTA updates?
Anyone knows the full path to the directory and knows what the file is called??
Thanx!!!

[Q] Nexus S 2.3.6 OTA rebooted to exclamation mark

Received 2.3.6 OTA on my nexus s which was unlocked and rooted but on stock recovery (init script was not modified so recovery restored).
On reboot triangle with exclamation inside was shown (been there for 30 minutes now).
Any tips? Should I switch on/off and see what happens? Pull battery?
Sounds like you're in stock recovery mode. Just reboot and see what happens (it should boot normally).
Had to pull battery to get it to reboot.
A few days later I've received another OTA update, and the exact same thing happened again. Also had to pull battery.
Is there anything I need to do in order to receive OTA updates while rooted but on stock recovery?
That happens automatically. What I would suggest, is that you install the update manually. See here: http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile...or-nexus-s-available-wi-fi-and-tethering-fix/ .
Thanks; instructions mention it should not be done on rooted devices. Is that correct? (I'm on stock recovery, but rooted)

See here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056062 . Remember, you will lose root if you do this. You would need to re-root to get it back.
Tried manually by downloading both the update GRJ22 (2.3.4) - > GRK39F (2.3.6) and the full GRK39F.
In both cases, from CW recovery I get a signature error. Log shows:
Verifying update package...
I:comment is 1604 bytes; signature 1586 bytes from end
E:failed to verify whole-file signature
I:verify_file returned 1
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted
Any clues?

Clockwork Mod Touch

Hi Guys,
Need a bit of help here.
I bought the clockworkmod touch yesterday, I flashed it, but when I went into recovery it wasn't touch, so I wiped cache, dalvik cache etc...and then isntalled the update.zip to no avail it said "E: failed to verify whole-signature", I tweeted @clockworkmod, and he said it was because I was using SpeedMod Kernel.
So I moved over to Siyah kernel, installed that fine and restored my data/cache using CWM when it booted. I then try to flash ClockworkMod Touch through ROM Manager, the green bar fills, and then says "Succesfully downloaded ClockworkMod recovery!"
I click ok, and then go to "reboot into recovery" I'm presented with red text that says:
E:missing bitmap password_highlight (code-1),
E: missing bitmap password_confirm_45 (code-1),
E: Missing Bitmap password_retry_45 (code-1)..."
I'm then presented with:
Installing Package...
Opening Update Package
Verifying Update Package...
E:Failed to verify whole-file signature
E:Signature Verification failed.
Installation aborted
I've then gone into three button method, and tried to apply, /sdcard/update.zip and it comes up:
Finding update package
Opening update package
E: Can't open /sdcard/update.zip
(No such file or directory)
Installation aborted
I'm running the following setup:
Model:GT-I9100
Android: 2.3.5
Baseband version: I9100XXK14
Kernel Version: [email protected] #294
Build number: Gingerbread.XWKJ1
I would like it if I could get this fixed without using Odin, as i'm at work most of the time and because of some stupid drive encrytion I can't put my phone in without encrypting it, BSkyB's rules apparently. I have tomorrow off, so I can if neccesary boot my laptop up and fiddle with odin.
Just wanna get this sorted, I purchased this and wanna use it.
Any help is much appreciated.
You have to wait until devs add this to their kernels/ roms
Sent from my sgs2 running cm9 using xda app
Is there no kernel that can support it?
I actually don't really care which kernel I use, aslong as it 's Stock rom for now, then I may look at new 4.0 roms/kernels when they've been out a good few more months, and when obviously clockwork mod touch is more commonly added to kernels/roms.
A guess its Rom Manager as SGS2 does not like it .
As this is an app their is a thread in the applications section .

[Q] Samsung Infuse Clockwork Recovery Aborted

Okey been trying to figure this out for days. I rooted my infuse with odin. So i have superuser. Now i am trying to install Clockwork recovery and cant get it to work. i am running on gingerbread.uclb3,firmware 2.3.6. I am using the rom manager and root explorer to install the recovery file into system/bin folder and its not working. I always get this....
installing package....
finding update package....
opening update package....
verifying update package
E:failed to verify whole -file signature
E:signature verification failed
installation aborted
I did everything step by step. One thing that was odd to me is when i placed the recovery file into the system/bin folder, there wasn't a original recovery file there. Does this mean it boots up from a different folder?
i am pretty retarted at this so plz if anybody can explain this because i see many people have problems with the same thing.

[Q] Question about CyanogenMod OTA updates

I'm on the CM 10.2 nightlies (9/15 currently), and I'm trying to update through the Settings -> About Phone -> Check for CM updates option. This option is supposed to download the update, then boot into recovery and install the zip. It downloads fine and boots into recovery (CWM) and things look fine, but after that I get an error that says "E: failed to open /sdcard/0/cmupdater/cm-10.2-0130917-NIGHTLY-jfltevzw.zip (No such file or directory)." And then the line below that says "E: signature verification failed." I get the option to Install Untrusted Package, but that just gives me the same error.
Has anyone else run into this problem or know a way around it? I like that this seems like a very hassle free way to stay up to date on Nightlies. I saw an option in recovery to turn signature verification off. Would that get around this? Thanks in advance for help.
