OTA 98.72.16 Update Fails on Razr MAXX - Motorola Droid RAZR

I've got a rooted Verizon Razr Maxx that has received the OTA 98.72.16 update. It downloads, prompts me to install, gets 1/3rd of the way through then shows the update failed symbol (Android with red warning triangle).
It'll then restart and prompt me to redownload the update.
What is going wrong here? I've been through this cycle 3 times and I just want it to stick.

Been through the same exact thing. I had to back up all my data with TiBu, flash a bonestock ICS, then update, then restore data. I had to have help doing it and i didnt completly understand most of the things i was doing so i cant really help you but you might try installing the update from a external SD to see what error you get

OTA 98.72.16 update
Any advice out there on successfully completing the OTA update package from Motorola/verizon? I keep getting an update unsuccessful. Not sure I want work around it with factory reset and then going back and forth with data. The description of the benefits of the update are vague... not sure I need it that bad. Anyone have any inside scoop, advice or knowledge on this?

So attempt #4...
I wiped the cache, did a factory reset and attempted to install the update from the SD Card in Recovery mode.
I received the following error:

I used Razr Utility 1.82 to flash the phone back to completely stock .211, wiped the cache, installed from the SD and the update finally completed and stuck.

Did ya unroot or protect ya root from voddo root keeper . If not then try to do that it may help ya
Thx
Hit the thx button if i helped ya in anyways

its still not working for me, actually i cant get the razr utility to do anything... so i cant flash the stock version, any ideas on getting that working?

You must not have any modifications on your phone. No root (but you can protect root with OTA Root Keeper), no changed or deleted system apps, no changed baseband, kernel etc.
Do you have any of that mods?

I rooted using the utility, the main reason was to get rid of the bloatware, so no different roms or anything of that nature, I tried different booting options and running it and no luck, I am trying to unroot by rerooting with a different program, that will rewrite over the utility root that comes with a full unroot option. so far so good, unrooted and waiting while the ota downloads to install, wish me luck

If you got rid of bloatware apps that are put there by Verizon, then that is your problem. All of those bloatware apps need to be there and unfrozen for the update to take.

After fully unrooting i have had no luck i just tried installing from recovery and recieved the same errot message as the previous entry did. Goimgbto try to install one more time and then try reflashing the stock with the utility

I had to reset my RAZR to stock with Matt Groff's droidrazrutility to get the update to install. Be sure to backup your apps and data.

you may have some frozen apps or deleted apps
try to defrost them or reflash the rom

idk if youll read this but if you do can you point me to where it explains how to wipe the cache and install from eh SD card? cuz i just did the flashboot to .211 and it still fails.

I was having the same problem. I had to uninstall Safestrap for the update to take. I used rootkeeper, unfroze everything, and it finally worked. I was able to keep root as well. I am so relieved. Hope this helps someone.

You probably could if you remember to wipe data and cache, and you should probably get the Team Black Hat app and download the SBF/driver/RSD Lite files just in case.
Edit: Oh, the update file. If it's failing to install, you should probably just try the full install. I'm not sure why it wouldn't go through unless you're on stock, in which case, you HAVE to use full install.
I think he is talking about the official Verizon update. Not FRM...
When you rooted did you stop or remove any of the Blur apps? That will cause the update to fail. All of the Blurr must be there for the update to work.
If you used Z4Root to root your device, try to unroot the device with zroot and then try the update again.
You may have to re-install Zroot after it is completed to re-root the phone. But I did the update before I rooted almost the day I got the phone so I had not really done enough to notice if it wipes the device and data. My guess would be no!
Since I did this from the stock rom I did not bother to look but if the file is a zip file then chances are likely you can run it from the clockwork recovery.
But best bet is to unroot and then try it again before you go that route.
I would however get RSDLite and the stock SBF to have handy in case you run into problems.
You cannot apply the OTA update (I assume you are talking about 2.4.330 Verizon official OTA update) from the custom recovery. It must be instaled via stock recovery. But due to the way update is made (patch based) it will fail if there are alternations (missing files) in any of the system areas. You must restore all changes you made in /system/app (assuming you froze/delete some stock apps), if you are rooted it is ok, update will not bother (extra files in system do not break the checksum - update only checks original files. But if there is even a single file missing (deleted/renamed) in system area, update will fail to install. If you can't figure it out (what is missing) and update keeps failing, simply flash full SBF to return to stock, apply the OTA update then reroot and freeze/remove all apps that you don't want in system area.

[Q] OTA update and big green x

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.
Thanks for the directions. Tried and got this error

Seems its not possible as you have removed some programs
Think you removed friendstream also.
It seems to work only if the ROM is unmodded

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.

Same issue here. I have stock rom without any bloatware removal.
I just unlocked the bootloader than installed CWM and rooted the phone.
when I try to update phone OTA it stucks in splash screen (With Big Green X logo)
Flash prerooted rom you good to go

I just spent abut 4 hours trying t figure this out...
This is my journey..
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.

[Q] Help: S3 Dilemma

Hello,
I require some help as my phone has been acting really weird recently. I first bought a Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-I9300 earlier in September that was loaded with ICS. I am currently in Singapore and I got the phone from Starhub.
I attempted to root the phone in ICS, and succeeded in doing so. There were no problems at that point in time.
Recently, there was an update notification that kept prompting me to update to Jelly Bean. There were a few options if I wanted to postpone it: Update now, Remind in 30 minutes, 1 hour, and 3 hours. I found it really irritating, so I eventually just clicked to update it now.
The update went as planned, but when I restarted my phone, my SuperSU refuses to work. When I go into it, it tells me "The SU binary needs to be updated. Continue?" But when I click "Continue", it says Installation Failed! I have tried going to settings, disabling Superuser, and then attempting to use superuser to update the binary. It did not work. When I attempted to disable superuser under settings>SuperSU, it says "Uninstallation failed!"
I attempted to de-root using a guide from GalaxyS3Root website, which told me to download Odin Lite, Odin Kernel and Triangle Away.
However, Triangle Away refuses to work with an error message "Unfortunately, Triangle Away has stopped".
The Odin Lite also refuses to work by saying "Could not detect device model".
Am at a loss as to what to do now...
Tried using Titanium Backup as well, but it seems to be unable to back up my files without using Root.
Please help!!
You have several options. Easiest ones: just backup your stuff and either flash the lastest leak (ELK4) which is already rooted and has extra goodies or simply wipe your phone (get into recovery and factory reset it). Your rom (JB) wasn't rooted to begin with so you won't have root anymore. There's probably a way to do it without wiping but i usually don't bother. It's generally less of a hassle to backup and wipe.
Edit: oh sorry, missed the part where you couldn't backup without root. To be honest, i never use titanium, it always causes problems when i restore stuff. I just backup what i need by hand (sms's with a sms backup app, find my save's files, etc)
Thanks

Thanks for the speedy reply!
To backup my stuff, I just have to plug my phone to my computer and drag &drop everything, yes?
Sorry I'm very new to the whole android thing, and I'm not very tech-savvy to begin with. When you say Flash the latest leak, how do I do this?
If I factory reset my phone now will I brick it?
That's such an overkill. Just boot into recovery mode and root your phone again with Odin. There are plenty of guides around.

I think the best thing u can do right now is.
1. titanium backup to SD.
2. load a new rom via odin 3.04
3. install cf root to root the phone via odin 3.04
4. install titanium backup and restore your phone.
i know it can be very annoying because all the singaporean ah beng hp shops has no idea now to repair the phone.

[Q] Over The Air Jellybean update on rooted XT912 (Razr Maxx)

so I am very excited for my Jellybean update.
I am running an original Droid Razr Maxx with the (until now) latest ICS release from Motorola and Verizon. The phone is rooted but I have never loaded any other ROMS (I don't even know how).
So can I update with the OTA Jellybean update while I am rooted? If I need to unroot my phone how can I do that? I used the "DroidRazrRoot404" tool but I cannot seem to use it to unroot my razr maxx.
Any advice is greatly appreciated.
So you have the OTA? Or this is in anticipation of the OTA?
~SU!C!D3~ on Tapatalk
You should be able to update with root, however you should have all official bloat installed or frozen because the OTA will check for it.
However, you will lose root after update....
??? Where did you get that JB OTA update? I am very exited as well, but most probably, it won't come out until next year...
Will OTA occur when the bloatware is frozen? Obviously not a big issue since I can unfreeze but just curious. Also, if I have a ROM on Slot 1 in SS for example, would I just go back to stock ROM and use the OTA when it comes out? Or are there any ROM/SS issues I need to consider or simply delete. And the OTA Rootkeeper app should solve my problems about losing root too right?
for those that want the download and more info about it

Using the download already provided, I had to do a few things to get mine to work.
1. Make sure you are on .211 Stock (if on .214 or .215 SBF back to .211)
2. Remove Safestrap or Bootstrap
3. Make sure all apps are thawed (if they were frozen)
4. Download the OTA update file DO NOT UNZIP IT
5. Place it in the root of your SD card
6. Boot into Stock Recovery holding down Power, Vol+, and Vol- and the same time.
7. Select down to Recovery and press up.
8. When you see the android laying on its back PRESS Vol+ and Vol- simultaneously.
9. Select wipe cache (this will not delete any data)
10. Select install update from External SD and select the zip file.
11. Let it run and update, should work.
I encountered an error so I had to SBF back to .211 and start over fresh, but honestly a fresh restart may not be a bad idea for performances sake.
The only issue that I see is my Razr didn't keep root. I am not sure that this is possible to keep root with this upgrade.
Used voodoo OTA rootkeeper. Protected root, temp unroot. Install, restored and used @matt's root restore fix. Works like a charm.

Hey, I've been looking at the posts about the update, and it seems that If you have safestrap/bootmenu/bootstrap, you will not be able to upgrade.... If you want the upgrade, you should go back to stock .211...
If you just have some frozen apps, you will be able to update correctly
Follow the instructions that chadgauth posted...
lost root
Stock 211 rooted. Voodoo root keeper backed up protect root, temp unroot.
Installed 4.1.2 update all good. Failed to get root back thru vodoo.

Without root till some dev comes out with a root method for us

R1pTheJacka, You can SBF back to .211.
Also, all of you guys that are using OTA Rootkeeper, why are you temp unrooting after protecting root? On my Droid X upgrade to ICS a while back and on this OTA to JB today on the RAZR Maxx, I just protected with OTA Rootkeeper but left it rooted. Didn't temp unroot. Then upgraded and then simply restored root. No need for an extra step of fixing it after trying to restore root.

It didn't for me. And even the directions that everyone is following from droidrzr.com tells you not to "temp unroot". It is kind of buried in the instructions, but it says not to temp unroot.

[Q] XT912 JB Update problems

Hello. I have a Droid RAZR XT912 (Verizon) and am having troubles with the JB update. I have the update file from Dev-host. I have all bloatware apps unfrozen. I went through OTA and backup root, temp unroot, restore root, temp unroot, and restore root. I also cleared dalvik cache (through TiBU) and system cache (through stock recovery) before updating. Also, verified all MD5 checksums.
My screen after attempting to apply update reads as:
-- Install /sdcard ...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
Installing update...
Verifying current system...
assert failed: apply_patch_check("/system/build.prop",(assorted numbers and letters)
E:Error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip

I looked around the forums to try to find a similar error, with a fix that worked, but none of them fit.
Other info:
I do not have safestrap installed, just rooted.
I AM on .211.
I would just really love to get this update. Thanks.
I kept getting that same error message. For me, it was because I had Eclipse installed as my ROM, so I couldn't update over it.
To fix, I fastbooted back to stock .211 ICS, then flashed the JB update through stock recovery. Then booted into JB, rooted using the newly found method, and installed a custom recovery. Haven't found another JB custom ROM that I like that works perfectly yet, so still on rooted stock JB for now.
Hopefully that will help you somehow.

Seems to be going well for me, now! I tried just doing a factory reset, and that didn't go. Ended up fastbooting with Droid Razr Utility 1.82, and the update seems to be going through for me! Will go ahead and use the new rooting method once it is complete, and then go through with restoring apps and other backups. Take a thanks.
