So i downloaded the soak update when it was launched. Resided in cache directory.
But since I was rooted and had bootstrap it would not install. I have sbf'd back to stock today and was wondering if I copy the update back to the cache folder, is there a way to manually trigger the update process?

EDIT (Found out how):
Placed it on the root of my external SDcard re-named to update.zip
Then held volume down while powering on, pressed volume down until I saw android recovery, then pressed volume up. When I saw the yellow triangle I pressed and held volume up and down and it brought me to stock recovery where I chose the zip to flash.
Why would you want to run that update?
Well, I guess the biggeset benefit I want out of it is the 1080p camera. I have it on 2.3.4 rooted and has been fine (on stock rom). So, I figure I am a candidate for a stock rom on this phone as I haven't (In the past 8 months) unlocked and flashed a custom rom as they all seem to have snags of some sort.
4G is not that important to me as I live in Michigan and we were/are yet to see WiMax in my area, and now with the LTE push that's the nail in the cofin for this particualr phone. But even with that said, I don't see a fully stable ICS release yet for our phone - as that is what would get me to unlock and flash - so I am not concerned with locking the bootloader as the next hopeful release for this phone should be ICS.

From what I have read this update will not allow you to ever unlock your phone should you decide you ever want to. I'd check into it a little deeper before you flash just in case. ICS will come eventually

Save yourself potential grief down the road and just install the 2.3.5/cm7 rom or the 2.3.5ish rom if you dig blur for some reason. Both have 1080 and are extremely stable. That way you get your 2.3.5 fix and if something comes out in the future that you need an unlocked bootloader for you wont be screwed. I mean think about it, if you plan to keep your photon till q4, cm9 and the rest will be perfectly stable very shortly after they leak ics. And really, our devs will release a better build than anything that moto might deliver.
Also, you posted this in the incorrect forum.
I'm not sure how to manually update. I'd recommend flashing MoFo 2.3.5ish as not to lock your bootloader incase down the road you change your mind. I'm running MoFo 2.3.5ish and it's fast, stable and has the 1080p camera (the only reason I'm not on an ICS ROM). Then, once camcorder becomes working on ICS, I'll move back.
Cheers!
I ran the update manually. I did so by renaming the update to update.zip, stuck it in the internal sd root directory, booted into recovery, and ran the flash update.zip option.
Just a heads up, you need to be on 196_6 for it to work. It throws an error with 196_7.

I wish there was a way to do this while being on the current soak update. I'm already on 2.3.5 but I'm having ridiculous issue and aren't sure how to fix them...
What I mean exactly is I wish I could find the soak update files (2.3.5 update), rename that to update.zip and flash it thru Android Recovery. I'm debating on switching out my current Nandroid backup (thru BSR) system.img with one I downloaded from another post that is from the soak update to see if that helps correct my issues... any thoughts if that would work?

Thats what my first post is giving you. I linked you to the 2.3.5 soak update. Rename it to update.zip and follow my instructions, it's walking you through doing exactly what you just asked.
Keep in mind, this is the default way to update, so will lock the bootloader.

My bootloader is already locked. I'm already on 2.3.5 from the soak update. The reason I'm hesitant about flashing the file in OP is because it says "Blur.Version.4.5.3.6.MB855.Sprint.en.us.zip" and the soak update is "Blur.Version.4.5.4.12.MB855.Sprint.en.us.zip"
I looked at the files and see some of the newer apps in there but none of the other updated system apps. That's only reason why I'm somewhat hesitant to rename and try to flash thru Android Recovery thinking that my device would throw an error because it thinks I was trying to downgrade it...
So if the file in OP is soak update, than why is it say previous official 2.3.4 version?

No idea really. That is the update that was pushed to my phones /cache/tmp directory as soon as clicked "Download Update" when the soak was released.
Prior to flashing I was on 2.3.4-4.5.1A-1_SUN-198_6
Then after flashing this via renaming to update.zip and flashing through android recovery, I am on 2.3.5 System Version is "About" phone shows 45.4.12.MB855.Sprint.en.US

Download it, have your USB cable ready, run the exe and follow the prompts.
It will tell you when to plug in.
Sent from my SHIFTAO5P using XDA App
Just to clarify you can run a ruu on a stock device, it will completely wipe the device and it'll be just like having a new phone. But if you are rooted and you run a ruu you will loose root and s-off(unless you have a modified hboot) root users will usually wait for a dev to root the ruu and make a flashable zip that way they can retain root and s-off.
So as droidtheroy said above if you are stock and you want the update be prepaired to loose settings and the hook up the phone via usb and run the exe.
Sent from my ADR6400L using XDA Premium App
Thanks! Figured it out RIGHT before I saw your post. Here is what I did in case others are wondering:
1.)Download the RUU from the internet onto your desktop.
2.)Attach your Bolt to your computer using the "charge only" option with USB debugging enabled.
3.)Insure that your Bolt is AT LEAST 30% charged, then run the file on your computer.
4.)You will now have Gingerbread
You will lose everything on your PHONE, NOT your SD card. I used Astro File Manager to back everything up, and it was very easy.
The process does take about 15/20 minutes. I haven't found any problems yet.
Stock Phone, New GB Rom, and future OTA
I know this has been answered here somehow, but in a way I cannot follow (you guys blow my mind with all the tech talk).
I simply want to know: If I install the latest GB rom (2.11.605.0) on my stock phone, will I be able to get the OTA updates from verizon, when (and if) it officially releases?
If not, will I be able to restore my current stock rom, so I can? I have used my backup pro to backup everything (data and apps).
Please keep it simple, im old!
I know the downgrade is possible but it is a pretty technical process. Especially so if the old downgrade method doesn't work and I don't know for sure that it does. As for OTAs I'm not sure on that front.

If vzw releases this leaked version as the final build then there is no ota to do since you already have the correct version. You will continue to receive new ota updates as vzw releases them since you are on a supported version.
Now if vzw rejects this version and requests a new one from HTC you will not recieve the next version till you manually install it like you did with these leaked ruu meaning there will still be no ota since you are on a unsupported version.
If you stay with stock and you don't flash this leaked version you will receive the needed ota when ever vzw is ready to release it, say another 3 months, I know that sounds far fetched but it really is possible that they could delay it even further given there track record with updates.
So those are your options if your stock. If your rooted then there are a hundred more senerios but I wanted to keep it simple.

I wanted to let everyone know that this leak is great... my battery life has doubled, and the Bolt just seems faster/smoother (I'm getting a faster GPS lock too). I'm impressed, and would recommend to all who don't mind setting up their phone again!
I am ready to install the latest update to my x2, but i am currently rooted and have the pulldown toggle zip and crt animation on my device, as well as the supercharger script, i know its very easy to remove the supercharger script,but would the crt or pulldown effect the install?

In order for you to update your gonna have to sbf back to 2.3.3 if that's what your on. If not, then the update will fail because of the root. You will be able to update once you sbf & wipe data in stock recovery as well just to be safe. Hope that helps
Edit: this is for if you are trying to get the ota...sorry I should clarified that first
thanks for the help that basically clears it all up, seeing as im fairly happy with it right now im going to leave well enough alone, when they roll out a bigger update i will consider it, thats what i figured i was going to have to do.

Just use titanium backup then and back to stock, do the update and reload ur apps. Takes all of about an hour, tops.
Droid X2 - Eclipse v1.0
yeah i have all of that done already, i might give it a try, thanks
Rp...I don't think it will fail just due to root. U WILLA lose ur root.
It most likely WILL fail due to the mods/or rom u run due to missing files that are necessary.
if u are stock rooted I think it would work...but either way good idea to go back bone stock just to avoid any issues altogether
im running the completely stock rom, removing the script i have isnt an issue what so ever, is there any way to remove installed zips that were installed in the recovery?

True always better to be safe than sorry
if your on stock and you want to return your animations to stock you could possibly extract framework-res.apk from /system/framework/ of the stock gingerbread and push it via adb to your phone or you could use root explorer to do so as well. that should erase your mods to animations. and you'll most likely have to reboot after. but animations should retrun to stock after, than unroot and take the ota. but its never a bad idea just to go to bone stock via sbf as rp076 suggested
For taking off the toggles u can just flash the stock notification zip from one of those threads I think it is there somewhere. Or ask the creator of the toggle zip u flashed for the stock one...
But ur safest bet is sbf and data wipe. It's not hard to do at all and is just a good thing to know how to do
I recovered my stock rooted backup from eclipse .8 and took the OTA no problem. You will lose root but Pete's one click will work to root again. You won't lose any apps.

Why do people keep thinking that just because you have root you have to SBF.. Root has nothing to do with the OTA update..
If you try and it fails it's not due to root, it would have to do with something frozen, or you have OTA Blocked with Rom Manager, or something else changed...
Of all the phones out there I can't think of any (ever) that have blocked OTA updates just because of root access.. In fact OTA Blocking had been added in to Rom Manger a few years back to prevent the OTA updates so people wouldn't update and lose root on updates that were not rooted yet.
On a side note, why would you SBF to 2.3.3 instead of just going to 2.3.4? You're just adding an extra step there. That would be like flashing back to Froyo SBF (what's the point?) if you want 2.3.4 GB..

Calm down killa...just stating what I know thru past experiences & I'm not the only one who's had the problem before. When the 2.3.3 update first came out I couldn't update because my phone still was rooted, NOTHING FROZEN OR REMOVED. I read in other threads at the time that sbf'ing was the way to fix the problem. Once i did that, i was able to get the update installed successfully. Its not a wrong procedure, but a way to be sure to get a clean install. And as for flashing back, I was saying to do that if he wanted the ota
Side note...rom manager isn't or hasn't even been available yet for this phone ...surely you knew that
I have a rooted Amaze with just some bloatware removed. Yesterday I received a notification in the status bar that a system update was available. When I try to run the update the phone reboots and then freezes with a big green X on the screen. Doesn't look like something official. Has anyone seen this before or know what it's about? I'm thinking maybe it's just failing to run the update because of being rooted or a related issue but can't find any info on Google about the green X.
I finally pulled the battery out because it wouldn't respond and then turned the phone on again. It booted fine and I still have the notice about the update. I'm reluctant to try again until I find out what's going on. Thanks.
I don't think you're able to install an update through a custom recovery..There should be a ROM with that update already in it.
If you have a Custom ROM you can't take the update that is intended for stock unrooted ROMS.
Sent from my HTC Amaze 4G using xda premium
Thanks for the feedback. I don't have a custom rom - just the stock minus some bloat. I can see how the custom recovery, however, might interfere.
I can't find any info on the update and what it includes or why I might want/need it but assuming it would be good to install then is there an easy way to remove the custom recovery? Would running the stock update.zip do this or do I need to go through the full un-root process?
If you have CWM recovery already,
1. Go to /downloads folder inside the internal Storage. You can find the OTA.
2. Rename it to "update.zip" and copy to External SD.
3. Reboot the device to recovery.
4. Select update.zip and update manually.
5. After update & reboot, delete both original files to get rid of notification.

Yes, I removed facebook and friendstream. Not sure why those would be necessary to run a system update but you may be right about not being able to update a modified phone. Maybe the update isn't anything I need anyway if it wants to update an app I don't want.
Thanks for the help.
In case anyone has a similar issue, here is what I've figured out.
The update won't run on a modified system - even if it's a stock, but changed, rom. In the interest of exploration, I restored my backup using clockwork and then ran the update. It still didn't work, but following skr_xd's advice above I was able to run the update manually. The result was a more or less stock phone without root but with the most current software. I then re-rooted the phone and re-removed all the bloat with no apparent ill effects.
Thanks for the help.
Btw, I didn't know what the green X was all about, but I think it's related to clockwork mod. Could be wrong though.

Relock bootloader
Flash one of the stock tmobile ruby rom in development section
Did the OTA update on stock
Unlocked my bootloader again
Then i tried to root using one click zerg method but it didnt work
So i flashed clockwork mod using fast boot
Then applied a su binary update i found in the development section.
In less than a minute i got root back.
Then i restored my data from nandroid backup.
My phone is pretty much rooted, bootloader unlocked, bloatware free alongside having the ota update that enabled wifi calling installed.
You don't need to relock your phone to do the update. If you do xboarder's recover to stock method just skip the relock part you can update your phone. So far going back to stock is the only way to get the radio updated as well which I am noticing way better 4g coverage than before!

NICE! Dude you must never sleep! Always the first to get something done!
I figured out what to do. You just need to rename this update file to update.zip. then reboot in recovery and choose install update from sd card. Next navigate to download folder and install update.zip file. You will be updated and stay rooted at the same time.
This worked for you because you didn't remove any of the t-mobile bloatware from your phone.. This will not work for people who messed with the pre-installed bloatware.

Maybe, but 8m I've got another problem after updating this way. Wifi doesn't work anymore. I receive an error while trying to switch on wifi.
When the OTA was released, I took my stock unlocked and rooted Rezound and did an RUU on it. I relocked it and RUU'd and made it completely stock.
I then took the OTA. I watched it do it, it downloaded and went into some sort of recovery mode and installed it.
I then re-unlocked it, rooted it, installed Amon Ra and then debloated and set it up. I did NOT restore a Nandroid on this phone.
And now every morning my phone is downloading the OTA and wanting to install it. If I say defer it tells me I can't. If I tell it OK, it doesn't do anything and tomorrow it will try to do it again.
What gives?
Did this phone take the update or not?
My guess is no. Go into more info on the screen that you have above.
Build starts with 1 no update.
Build starts with 2 OTA update
Build starts with 3 you took one of the early ICS Roms

I guess that means no? I suppose I should just RUU with the new OTA version, rather than the original and try to get the OTA to take?

You have many paths in front of you my friend, depends on where you want to go.
It appears that you are original stock still, rooted with recovery.
Not sure what went wrong. You might want to check for a PH98IMG.zip file on root. Delete it, causes issues with HTBOOT and bootloader.

When the OTA was released, I took my stock unlocked and rooted Rezound and did an RUU on it. I relocked it and RUU'd and made it completely stock.
I then took the OTA. I watched it do it, it downloaded and went into some sort of recovery mode and installed it.
I then re-unlocked it, rooted it, installed Amon Ra and then debloated and set it up. I did NOT restore a Nandroid on this phone.
And now every morning my phone is downloading the OTA and wanting to install it. If I say defer it tells me I can't. If I tell it OK, it doesn't do anything and tomorrow it will try to do it again.
What gives?
Did this phone take the update or not?

Didn't even look at the screenshots, but it took me downloading the update twice for it to completely update it. I did the exact same process, but noticed when it rebooted the first time it didn't complete the update because I checked right away and my radios didn't update. I downloaded it again and the second time it flashed everything properly.
So from what I can gather, the OTA was fairly buggy process for alot of people. That's why I even checked prior to unlocking and rerooting again. I wanted to make sure it worked properly.

Yeah, seems like the best way to do it is to just grab the latest RUU and install that and call it a day. No having to worry about it taking, it already includes the latest radio and stuff.
How do you tell what radio your phone is running??

Lol, I realize that but what is it supposed to say??
Edit: NVM, I found the info
For Canada, JB is pushed via OTA today on Rogers.
Update # 9.8.2.124.18
I am looking for sbf or fastboot files for xt910 Rogers Razr if someone has found it please post it.
Thanks
Fido
Fido would be appreciated as well.
cannot see it yet.
I just switched back from CM10 to base rogers and I cannot see the system Update (yet).
If someone else finds it please post, I will keep looking for it and post the OTA file once I see it if no one else has.
Thanks for the heads up.
now all we need is root on a windows computer.
:laugh:

a list of all fastboots. you can see 2 rogers there, 1 is ICS, 1 is GB. i forgot which is which tbh lol...
but im having trouble too with the OTA. kept failing on me, and if i manually update it using safestrap3.11 it just fails on verifying phone build.
i defrosted all bloatwares, cleaned cache and dalvik, nothing helps. i really dont want to factory reset just yet, or even trying fastboot since im too lazy to set it up again, but at this point, that seems to be the only solution.
anybody got any ideas?

Hi Red...
Do you have the OTA file? Can you share it?
You may have to fast boot the ics, then root, then voodoo, then upgrade.
Remember you cannot go back to ICS once you upgrade with OTA, and so far root in JB only works from a Linux machine for our xt910's

i got frustrated and caved in. i just fastboot the JB image. check out the sticky in dev forum. works fine. no roots is ok for now, coz all im missing is TiBu and my saved games lol everything else is backed up by Google.
there's an OTA in one of the thread in General forum. it's titled Fido, but somebody on page 2 posted the Rogers OTA files.
but yes, now that i think about it, i should fastboot ICS, root, voodoo, and upgrade. oh well. :fingers-crossed:
I got the update notification but it failed so I tried unrooting

I got the update notification but it failed updating so I tried unrooting my phone and using :
6.7.2-180_SLC-35_R02_SIGNLATAM_SPYDERICSROGERS_P012_A012_HWp2b_CFC_fastboot.xml
I am a noob and I don't really know what I am doing. I finally got that XML to work
but now when I check for updates it doesn't say there are any updates anymore
any ideas? Is the update stored on the phone even if it fails?
