The global update for the Rezound is failing installation for me.
The update has been downloaded seven times OTA and has failed installation every time on my phone.
My phone's current version is:
Android version: 4.0.3
HTC Sense version: 3.6
Software number: 3.14.605.13 710RD
Baseband version: 1.22.10.042lr, 1.22.10.0424r
The downloaded OTA version: ADR6425LVW_4.05.605.14-3.14.605.13
It successfully downloads the file, reboots into "Android system recovery", and displays the following error...
RA Revamped...
Build : RA-VIGOR-v3.16-getitnowmarketing
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Installing update...
wrong taskid 221384E:Error in /cache/fumo/OTAPkg.zip
(Status 1)
Installation aborted.
The phone's bootloader is relocked and "S-OFF".
I've also deleted the OTAPkg.zip file from /cache/fumo, and the "fumo" directory itself, and re-downloaded the OTAPkg.zip file but it still failed installation.
The OTAPkg.zip file is 217,141,266 bytes in size.
The resetting of my phone and getting it hung in the Android System Recovery every few hours is getting annoying.
Anybody have any ideas on how to get this fixed and the Global update successfully installed?
Thanks,
Dan
It is probably because you have a custom recovery.

Yeah you gotta flash the rezounds stock recovery before you can take OTA

To get the effects of the latest zip without the stock flash this. https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/12405441/new.global.firm.PH98IMG.zip
Make sure you are s-off. You will loose fast boot till we can get an engineering one.

Thanks for the info. I had forgotten that I had previously flashed the amon-ra recovery. As suggested, I flashed the rezound stock recovery and the darn OTA update still wouldn't flash. The phone gave me a similar error message as before. I then flashed the entire 3.14.605.12 OTA release just to get a known stable release. The phone boots and reports that an OTA is available (to go from 3.14.605.12 to 3.14.605.13), but then times out while trying to download the firmware and gives the following error: "SERVICE UNAVAILABLE Check for Software Update under Settings when service is available". The Status reports Download Failed, Code 503. It's late, I'm giving up for the night.

I posted instructions for how to flash firmware.zip while s-on in the other global thread
You will need firmware.zip (linked to in that thread), a nandroid backup, your HTC unlock code, and possibly a coy of the stock HTC recovery.

Brenuga, thanks for the instructions. If I'm S-on, locked and running stock recovery and the global leak and wanted to end up in the same configuration but with the new firmware, would I just fastboot erase cache and then fastboot flash zip firmware.zip?

You also have to do fastboot oem rebootRUU before you can flash firmware.zip, and remember to flash it again after it errors out the first time.
You may lose your current boot.img so have it ready to flash after updating firmware or else you will bootloop.

please have pity on me. i don't even know what s-on or s-off mean. all the tech jargon is confusing.
My rezound is rooted, but just so i can use it as a wifi hotspot. never done anything else to it.
it keeps on rebooting and fails to install this new update. my recovery screen says exactly what the OP's did.
i don't want to wipe my phone just for a stupid update. i'm not convinced that i even need an update. how can i stop it from updating or doing this?
in an unrelated note, is there a way i could hack my rezound so that i don't have to pull the stupid ring and deal with the lock screen?
can't i just press the unlock/power button and be on the home screen? just tell me what thread and keywords to search for, thanks!

If you don't want the update, just download titanium backup, find the apps called OTAUpdater and 'freeze' the apps to keep them from running. There's two ota apps, one from HTC and one from vzw
Holo locker is an alternative lock screen widget. Just install it and set lock screen security method to 'none'.

Is there another way to freeze them? I'm also not finding any app in the free version of Titanium that has OTAUpdater anywhere in the name. You can't freeze from the free version, though, and the Pro version is $6.58 in the store.

Yes, go to settings, manage apps. You still have to find app named otaupdater. In manage apps, you can 'disable' apps to keep them from running. Its the same thing as freezing.

Actually, I apologize for not just buying pro. For what these people do for us, $6.58 isn't too much too ask. I went ahead and bought it. I still am not seeing the otaupdater at all, though.
I did find MCC_OTA but that's the only thing at all that had OTA in the name at all. Think that could be it?

Yes, that's the one. Any other apps that say update or report are good to freeze, too. Any HTC or vzw apps you don't use. Vzw SSO you need if you use visual voicemail or my Verizon app.
And yes , you will find tibu pro is well worth the money.

I woke up this morning, checked for some updates on my Flyer and actually got one! My battery is too low to apply the update, but just wondered if anyone else has gotten anything? I'll update this post once I actually can apply the update to my Flyer.
Update: ok so apparently this was an update to Software version 2.27.1540.31
Update (11/15/2011):
There's an article on GoodandEvo about the Flyer update:
Article Here
The details so far are:
upgrade from Android Gingerbread 2.3.3 to 2.3.4.
Lockscreen seems snappier and more responsive
Lockscreen icons appear sharper
Unlock animations are smoother
Tablet in general is more responsive and faster (maybe a kernel version change?)
HTC Sense version was updated from 2.1 to 1.0
Settings >> Tablet Identity. From earlier model# HTC FLYER P512 has now changed to HTC_FLYER_P512_NA
Language content of the ROM changed from "English" to "American"

well I noticed that the latest facebook update finally works with the new update. That's kinda nice.
I noticed my lock screen icons look sharper.
I just installed the update. I honestly haven't noticed anything different so far. When the update finished and I was taken to the lockscreen, I noticed that the front camera led was on but only for a ssecond. Maybe that's normal, but I just thought I would point it out...
Mine flashes the LED light for a second when Skype boots up.
I noticed when the update was running that the pen icon changed from green to red, and then back to green. I had no idea that it could change colors.
I was on 2.3.3 before the update, and now I'm on 2.3.4.
Maybe they are trying to get all of the Flyers on the same version for the seemingly immenent HC update?
I just picked up my Flyer a week and a half ago, and it wouldn't update to 2.3.4 through the regular software updates check.

With s-off + revolutionary, dl the update, before rebooting find update.zip and move to external sd, reboot to recovery and apply update from zip, correct?

The ruu is available for this I believe. If you run the exe it will flash the system and all but will not over write the hboot, unless you want it to and that is another process.
You can find the ruu in the stock firmware sticky in development

Will it erase all of my data plus remove root?
Yes, as well as clockwork recovery. You would have to fastboot flash the recovery image then in recovery flash su zip. You could titanium backup your user apps and restore there after

Hi All,
I still haven't seen the OTA update notice. If I go in manually to "check new" it says its searching for a couple seconds then just closes. Then when I check the status, all I see is:

Description:
I have only ever temp rooted. I haven't unlocked the bootloader, and I have only removed bloat using CleanTool 2.1.1
I have tried re-enabling all the bloat, rebooted to lose temp root, and removed superuser. I verified that I can't su in a terminal anymore, so root is definitely gone. As i said above, I have added all the bloat back as there are no slightly greyed out applications under "manage applications".
I have now just tried a full factory reset, wiping internal, and SD memory and still nothing.
I was wondering if anyone else has encountered this issue, or have any other suggestions?
My phone is completely stock and I haven't seen the OTA. I have not done the "check for update" thing as I keep hearing reports that the update breaks more than it fixes.

You don't need to do that Mainver stuff unless you already have a problem flashing updates via the PH98IMG.zip method.

By the way, the new RUU is up on vigor collection that is the new OTA one, so you can now flash that if you run into trouble later on once your Mainver is updated. Yes, Con's stock rooted rom will give you the new radios and fixes.

Whether you do RUU or con's ROM you still have to relock and then unlock the phone. Well you don't have to unlock it again unless you want root and custom ROM.
Here's a post I just made for someone else in case it helps:
feralicious said:
You can relock and then run the RUU to get you there and then accept the OTA and it should work. Then just unlock again and flash Amon Ra, and then either run stock or restore a nand or flash a new ROM. If you go with an older ROM without the new kernel and you want to use the new kernel you might need to update that. You can do that by following this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1467793
ATERNATIVE METHOD:
You can also use con247's Stock OTA ROM instead of running the RUU.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21880389
Here are the steps to take to accomplish that:
1) use Amon Ra to flash con's vigorStock OTA ROM. It will do its thing then reboot to hboot. I think it then asks you if you want to update. Don't do it yet.
2) At this point you want to relock. So go into fastboot on the phone. Using adb/fastboot type the following at the cmd prompt:
fastboot oem lock
3) Reboot phone and let it flash the PHzip file. It should reboot completely when it's finished.
4) delete the PHzip file using a file explorer app like ES File Explorer or Root Explorer.
5) get the phone back into fastboot. Unlock again using adb/fastboot. I don't remember the exact command but you can find that in the guide for unlocking.
6) reinstall su using Amon Ra.
Now you should be stock OTA rooted with the new goodies.
Check in Settings > About phone > Software info > More to see that you got all the new stuff.

Well I called tech support last night and they are sending me a "certified like new" refurb. I am kindof nervous that the new phone might have any number of the problems in the post created by jdmba. It seems that the update should have gone to everybody by now and since my phone would just close the "check new" window without reporting if there was or wasn't an update they instantly said they would send me a new phone to resolve the problem with no charge. So for anyone else that hasn't gotten the update that wants it you might want to call verizon. When it gets in on friday I will check all the known issues to see if the new one has a worse problem and if i just want to unlock the old phones bootloader to manually install the updates that I want in the future.
Ok, I looked around and cannot find an answer that works for me for this issue. I am wondering if it has to do with my phone having S-Off? I am most likely wrong, but i have to know whats going on. No matter what I try, I cannot get My Rezound to go from GB to ICS, ANY ICS BASED ROM for that matter. I checked MD5, Tried with battery door both removed and attached, with or without the SIM card inserted into the phone. The phone boots up almost 100%. I get a message saying "Updating Android" and it says its updating or doing something to 160 apps, the system then reboots, when it gets past the 4G screen again, It says that the boot was completed, I have no signal, i checked on the service type and its correct, tried a factory reset, and still nothing, the system just continues to boot loop over and over again, and when it boots up i cannot get past the Activation screen where it says that the phone is trying to contact Verizon to Auto Activate. I can go back to GB easily, and that works %100. Any and all information would be useful, Only reason why i think this might have to do with S-Off is because my first Rezound was S-On and worked just fine going to ICS, while this new one has S-Off and is just not cutting it.
If you have s-off the rom image could contain a radio update. That could be getting you...also data is off by default in some ICS ROMs.

so what would be recommended in this type of situation? I know its not the data being off thats causing the issue, because when i boot up i dont have a signal at all, and the lock screen instead of showing VZW banner it says No Signal. Would the Radio being an issue also cause boot loop issues?
Did you put the battery cover on the phone ?
Edit saw that u did sorry ...
Sent from my Dinc... I mean Rezound
Only thing i can think of is that the ICS rom you flashed has data off automatically, and requires you to keep pressing the home button until it passes the activation screen.
Also make sure your battery cover is on like yojoe600 said, your antenna is connected to the cover and without it you will have no signal.

this is just sooooooooo irritating. all that i have tried, this is kinda depressing. One interesting thing that i did come across though. When i flashed the BAMF GB, and tried to go from rom to rom to rom, i didnt get any MainVer error.... Dont know if thats just because S-Off allows you to go from one to another freely, or if its just not taking these updates.....
S-off has no mainvar issues. Try putting the gb radio into a PB zip or whatever the resound uses and flash that and boot to see of you get data then

hey guys, its not just data, the phone is bootlooping on him.
I know several people have s-off devices. You might try looking over on rootzwiki as well. Maybe a dev with s-off can help.
I am one of those people with an s-off and I have had no issues with it but I also updated to the ICS radio AMD have no issues so I'm not totally sure what not working with yours

Not sure what is going on with mine that is making it so different. This is just frustrating, last thing that im going to try is going to be flashing th kernel through adb, know that whould not matter too much, but i'll give it a shot, not like it would hurt at all.

Ok , so i tried this, and as i thought not much happened, more of the same. No real help at Rootz either sadly. I need to find me an S-Off Dev.... lol
On a side note, how would one go about flashing a different recovery.img on an S-Off device, do i have to adb it, or can i do it on the fly? If so, how?
Last thought...did you try the bootloop fix? ##whatever after booting without the battery covery etc...?? There' s a full thread on it.

yeah was about to give that a go, but the system seems to shut down before i get to the phone portion. I'm having to use the Emergency Call option to get to the dialer since the phone sits on the Self Activation Page.
Before anyone can help you fully and properly, more information needed!
What ROM are you trying to install?

what you mean more info, my original post was pretty clear, dont mean to be snappy or anything, i could try to give more info maybe. I've tried all the "fixes" and so far nothing works. ALL AND ANY ICS BASED ROMS are not staying stable on my phone. They get stuck in what i think is the data bootloop, but i cannot access the dial pad other than through the Emergency dial pad, i input the *#*#4636#*#* and nothing comes up, i try without the battery cover, and without the SIM card as well (Also have tried Various combinations of SIM and Battery Cover removals and inclusions). The device has S-Off, and is Unlocked with DevUnlock, and has Perm Root.
Like I stated in my initial post, the leak may contain a radio update that your phone(and the network) isn't ready for. We wouldn't get that update because our radios are locked and only a signed update from HTC would install it. I'd say back down to GB and wait it out...or post in the thread of the ROM maker and ask them about the radio.

When I say more info, I mean don't describe every symptom... tell us specifically what you did. Every ICS ROM is unique, like for example I last installed newtoroot's Senseless 4.0.3 ROM. In order to use it, I had to flash a ICS Kernel, I used the fastboot method. Then I could flash the ROM using AmonRa Recovery, and it would boot and operate effectively.
That's the kind of specifics we need, so we can follow your steps and identify possible error points, if any.

Definetly more descriptive lol thank you for the breakdown infact. In that case, last one i tried what the ICS Sense Redefined, and I tried to use the fastboot method for the Included Kernel as well, but that didnt work at all, what ICS Kernel did you flash to get it to work? a Pre-Packaged one? When installing, I did a full wipe (Both the Amon Ra Factory Reset option and the SuperWipe that is in the Dev Forum) installed the Rom, went into the Bootloader and did ADB CMD of fastboot flash boot boot.img and thats about it.

That is the one I used. If you're having issues with fastboot flashing the kernel, you may want to throw the PH98IMG.zip onto your external sd-card and boot into HBOOT then hit vol up to install it that way

ok, i'll give this a shot really quick and do through ext. sd. thanks for the link btw, you've been extremely helpful. let ya know how this goes for me.
Howdy,
Over the past week or so VZW has been trying to do an OTA to my bolt.
I'm rooted with a stock ROM, because I mostly focus on themes for stock ROMS (Until I get a better handle on it) I'm not as good with flashing, but I understand it & can certainly follow directions.
I have CWM/ROM Manager installed, but my question is how can I get VZW to stop trying to send the OTA? I'll flash a ROM from the list under the Development section if this is the issue, but I'm a bit hazzy on which one since only a few seem to have been updated in the past few weeks.
My current setup is below, but I'm more than willing to update to something else:
Android 2.3.4
HTC Sense 2.1
Software 2.11.605.9
If it is as simple as making a back-up, downloading one of the ROM's on the Development page, putting it on the SD card, wiping the data, flash & enjoy then I'm good with that, but I'm just not real familiar with things like upgrading to a new sense from an older one & if that is ok.
Thanks
You can either flash a ROM, or flash this through recovery.
(Put the zip on the sdcard, In ROM Manager, select reboot recovery, in recovery select install zip from sd, choose zip from sd, and select OTABlock.zip. Once it flashes hit back and select reboot system now.)
I tried this and im not having any luck. Phone powered on a few min later powers off and tries to update, leaving me with a android guy and yellow triangle with an exclamation point. Tried flashing .19 again but no luck.

Howdy,
Thanks for the quick reply & I shall do this to stop the OTA push from occurring once I'm home, unless - If I flash a (current) ROM from the development page, will it also stop the OTA from trying to update?
And is PRI Version the Radio?

That worked perfectly for me! Thanks! Hopefully it works for Tantalin too
Howdy,
I used it & so far so good. I'll see how it goes.
Thanks to all!
I got the OTA, but when the device reboots, it doesn't update. Then it wants to download the OTA again.
I'm s-off, unlocked bootloader, stock recovery. I'm thinking I need to relock the bootloader.
Thanks for any help.

If you have frozen any apps, have xposed installed, or altered anything in system folder it will not update when your phone is in recovery and fails update look at the yellow writing at the bottom of recovery and it should have the the reason it failed

I unfroze all apps, uninstalled xPosed.
It reboots to recovery (stock) and starts, but then quits to recovery after a minute.
I'm not sure what the scoop is.
I might just run the RUU...
What error message did it say at the bottom of recovery when it stopped

I didn't see an error. I'll see if I can get it to download again (I keep having to set my clock ahead more and more days...) Almost doesn't seem worth it.
I'll give it a try. Thanks!

Thanks for the file. I think the problem is with either my stock recovery, or with some system file that's been modified.

Check out my thread you can probably flash twrp recovery and use my backup so you don't have to go through the long process of backing up your entire internal memory and flashing the ruu

Thank you for all your help...
Before I RUU the whole thing, I tried the OTA zip package after re-flashing another stock recovery.
I got further, and actually have an error that makes sense:
Package expects build fingerprint of htc/cingular_us/htc_m8:4.4.4/KTU84P.......; this device has htc/cingular_us/htc_m8:4.4.2KOT49H.....installation aborted.
I'm guessing I have the wrong firmware or recovery, but I was running 4.4.4.
Any ideas before I ruu?
Thanks!

Download 4.4.4 firmware from link below and place it in ext-sd reboot into hboot it will ask you to press power to update firmware just press power wait until it's finished then reboot and try updating ota again

Didn't work.
I'm thinking that I may have either a bad OTA zip file (I didn't grab yours) or there's something really odd about what I've done to the device (not sure what - I disabled xPosed, unfroze all the disabled apps).
I'm probably going to grab the OTA one more time (It started downloading after a TWRP restore).
If that doesn't work, I'm going to probably download the RUU and restore using Titanium backups.
Once again - thank you for all your help on this.
