Wow this is like your 4th post about the same thing.....
Anyway use AIO and change to US (easier)
Find the updates needed in my update links thread (see signature)
Use AIO to install rescue backdoor (this lowers the incremental)
Use the custom update maker in AIO to preroot HC 3.2(.1)
Try these things and post your results here.
Note if you install R5 you will have issues reverting back to Honey Comb as you can use 'custom roms by AIO' as shell does not work in recovery with the newer R5 recovery.

[Q] [GSM/EU]Software update failed

Hi guys... hope that this post reads also someone from development. If it should be placed there, please move it.
So, here is my problem:
I`m having rooted Razr and OTA update comes to my region. I downloaded update and tried to update, but it failed. I didn't uninstall any of bloatware, just frozen it, but even after unfreezing it won't do update as well. I red some manuals and so on, so i removed bootstrap recovery also but still the same. Looks, that I need to re-install original FW to make it working - right?
I checked possibilities and there are not too many. RAZR utility 1.6 it is not possible download anywhere - links are mostly broken and 1.7 is for ICS only, so only options is using of RSDLite. I found following "tutorial" about RSDLite. I'm almost sure, that after update there wouldn't be possibility to update for a while, so I kept original downloaded OTA update ZIP, but do not know what to do with.
Could somebody say, if it is correct way how to update to ICS? Do I really needs to reflash original ROM and than try to update it to ICS via OTA? Is there some easy way to update if I have downloaded OTA update ZIP?
Some ideas?

[Q] Update from 2.3.6 to 4.0 fails

Hello all,
I am having trouble upgrading from 2.3.6 to ICS. I got an OTA notification for my Fido XT910 and when I tried to apply it, it told me that I did not have enough memory and to try performing a factory reset. After searching, I found that this was happening because my device was rooted. I removed root and tried again. Now, the update seems to work! It gets halfway through, then fails and reboots. I searched some more and found that something may be amiss in my file system.
So, I let the OTA upgrade download again, but this time I told it to "Install Later". I re-rooted my phone, copied the OTA file from my /cache folder to SD-EXT, unrooted, booted into recovery and finally tried to apply the update again. This time I found out what is preventing the upgrade from going through. It looks like it cannot find the file Videos.apk. Now, I don't know what this file is. I thought it might be Google Play Movies so I dumped into my /system/app/ folder as Videos.apk. No luck. I looked through the 2.3.6 upgrade file to find the Videos.apk file, but it only contained a binary update file (Videos.apk.p) and not the complete apk. I don't know what I can do to get the update to run successfully, without wiping!
Can anyone help me? Does anyone still have a Fido branded XT910 running 2.3.6 that they could extract the Videos.apk file from and send my way?
Any help is appreciated! Thanks in advance!
If it helps, here is the error message I get when applying the upgrade file:
##############################

Thanks again!
Anyone have any ideas? I really can't find anything like this by searching through the XDA or other forums. I'm so close to fixing this, I would hate to stumble on this final step. Thanks again!
I dont know, I am in the same boat as you.
Accept im trying to flash from the released zip of the same file you are getting OTA.
I have temp unrooted with voodoo and same error.
Did a factory reset and still get same error.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

What's the error you're getting? I've worked past several issues so far, so maybe I can help you. I'm just stuck on this latest one.
I am getting

But after some research It appears I need to go back to stock ICS using the Droid Razr utility by matt. Then temp unroot with voodoo tool, flash the new update, then reroot with voodoo tool.

OK, so you're getting the exact same error message as me!
I had a tough time find Matt's utility. Were you able to download it? Did it correct your issue? Thanks in advance!

OK, I'm downloading Matt's utility right now. It's huge! About 1GB. I'll let you know how it goes.
If im reading http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=38877887#post38877887 correctly then the update that went out today is only for those who got the xmas update.
If thats the case we will have to find the original xmas update first, then flash todays update.

Yes, this is my understanding as well. I need to update to ICS before I can update to JB.

Right, and then we have to find the JB update that was released at xmas.
---------- Post added at 03:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:49 PM ----------
Pretty sure this is the JB xmas file
http://d-h.st/8l1
Yes, that is the correct file. It's for phones with the 211 ICS build. Also, Droid Life has the separate new JB file for phones on the 211 build, in case you want to install JB in one step.
Sent from my DROID RAZR using xda app-developers app
DHomas did you get it sorted?
Ive got it figured out and am now on JB. BAM.
Step1: First of all, you will need to use the droid razr utility to go back to ICS.
You can get this tool at http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/topic/11872-droid-razr-utility-190-windows-mac-linux-all-in-one/
IMPORTANT. Make sure you install moto drivers, and rsd lite. Both included with this utility download.
Make sure phone has usb debugging mode enabled.
Make sure when plugging phone into computer you disable mass storage mode.
Step2: Once on ics use the utility to also root again.
Step3: Once rooted, install voodoo and create a root backup.
Step4a: Put this file on your external SD card.
Droid life actually has the whole new file. So no need to flash xmas leak.
You can get it here - http://www.mediafire.com/?5ca5825kzojfv49
Step4b: Boot into recovery and install from sd. Choose the above linked file. Let it do its thing.
Enjoy.

Just a warning, after doing this even though the utility indicated root was done, and after JB installed voodoo is showing root but when trying to update the SU app it says FAIL when trying to gain root access.
Luckily root can be gained in JB using this http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/topic/6935-rootwindows-razr-blade-droid-razr-41-jb-root-exploit/

Need help update to R5A

Hi,
I've got one Tablet S1(with 3G) one year ago. (I come from China mainland.)
Considering China version firmwares do not include GApps but I DO need the stuff like play store, contact sync, etc, I change the region code to UK.
Then, I made it updated to R2 and rooted via AIO tool by condi(THANK YOU!)
Now, I want the R5A update. I've downloaded several 3G version stock firmwares but failed to install them.
Everytime the tablet reboots to the recovery attempting to install the update, the whole will be aborted after the verification.
And, it shows "Erohibit update as a result of checking version or base sku" each time.
I've made multiple tries, and failed every time.
Never make it via OTA, AIO tool or flasher by condi. All failed.
Not even I changed the region to China(what it was initially).
What do I do to make an successful update?
P.S. I used to apply something like "hack recovery" or what from the AIO tool, would it break the recovery?

Please try to install UK, then use adb pull /tmp/recovery.log and post here
Probably failing as there are two systems one is UK and the other is Chinese. Using flasher should change both partitions to Poland 3G (i think that is the one)

This means you have flashed some previous update not intended for your region, like some of us flashed 1.17.401.3 when we weren't supposed to have it, hence we coudnt update ota 4.2.2 as our ots was to patch 1.17.401.1, maybe this will help you, but its not 707, its 401, should still be able to flash though if unlocked through twrp. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2419784&page=3. You will need your firmware.zip not mine, different cids. or you could just flash this http://d-h.st/cK4, twrp again. Im sure as long as your unlocked with custom recovery you can flash different cid, except of cause the firmware.zip.

That's not the case here.. I got an ota update in the device a couple of months back but it wouldn't install on its own so I installed that very downloaded zip file through cwm recovery..

That will be why then, I bet if you left out that previous update, you would be able to install no problems. Sam problem for me, assert patch failed, but mine was the build.prop, because im UK and the forced ota wasn't for me.

No no I think u didn't get me. the ota update was shown on my phone. It gave me a notification that an update is available. I didn't download the update manually from xda. the download happened on my phone thru the ota service itself.
I have solved it and done update completely..
Problem --- STOCK nandroid backup have got problem.. so HTC update fails
Solutions -- Need to Update system folder with proper files for update to be sucessful
Action plan -- Those people who went to STOCk android ( INDIA) using Nandroiod backup will face issue
I will upload proper Nandroid backup ( old backup with files updated) ..
Then download update from HTC and it works and Hboot is upgraded to 1.7 from 1.4
Note -- this is for only CID 038 Which i use in India

[Q] Un-root Nabi 2

Ok as the in the title I have a Nabi2 that is running twrp 2.2.2.1 is OS 4.0.4 kernel 3.1.10-000298 a while back I followed a video to root this device
and put the play store on the device. It worked great and I have been able to down load many games and apps i couldn't before but.. Now there are
a few OTA updates that won't work that I would like to update to. If any one knows and can
explain step by step how to remove twrp and get this device back to stock so the OTA updates will take I would be very appreciative this is the first
device that I have rooted so please spare no small detail. I have tried going into twrp and hit restore and then tried to apply the package
"stockunrooted" but it didn't work. The update I am trying to upgrade to is the v2.1.

Why 2.1 and not the latest? This is the best method to get to the latest software. Pic the link for US or UK depending on where you are.
