Quick history: was running CR1.6.5 and decided to take a break from flashing until this bootloader is cracked. I wanted to update to VRUAME7 but keep root. I followed the usual process with Voodoo, etc. Tried the OTA and it failed. I discoverered that is was failing during the system check during the upgrade. It appeared that the PolarisOffice5.apk was causing it. I checked the md5 of polaris and it matched others on XDA. I first tried a no-wipe update, then a full wipe to MDK then a factory reset after a full wipe and get the same error. I tried restoring the original TiBu file of Polaris wfrom the day I bought the phone and got the same error. My phone will not take this update. I was so sure that I was doing everything correctly that I took a leap of faith. I did the full wipe to MDK and before rooting or doing anything I attempted to update to AME7. It failed the same way! Good thing or root would have been gone. I had downloaded the OTA update file a dozen or so times so if is not corrupt. The md5 of my full wipe image is 272349315f2e08d661dee66749281dcd if someone wants to double check that. I'm lost and have no idea what the cause of the error could be. Here is an excerpt from the error log created during the failed upgrade: Any ideas?

I get the exact same error
I'm getting the same thing. Any progress yet?
LOL I would say your phone is smarter then you are. It knows not to take the update as you will be screwed for the time being...
Nah really I'm j/k. Though, unless you don't want/plan to root and want recovery, it's better not to take it right now.
I'm no expert on this but from what i see, it looks like it's having an issue with some apps as in maybe they are removed or frozen and shouldn't be. Usually if apps are missing or there are apps frozen that shouldn't be it will know you are not stock. My suggestion if this is this case is restore your stock rom or if you don't have that Odin the stock firmware
Your best bet would be to odin straight to ME7 and the root.

Not true for any phone with a custom recovery. If you accept the OTA, the phone will boot into the custom recovery, and the update will immediately fail. With Amon_RA, it will fail due to a signature verification error, and with ClockworkMod it will fail due to an assert() check at the beginning of the script
In both of these cases, the termination of the install occurs before a single thing is changed. Moreover, because the OTA downloader never even checks to see if the OTA install succeeded, the nag popup will disappear after the failure, and will never reappear again (unless you did a wipe data/factory reset procedure on that ROM).
[ Edit ] the exact assertion that occurs is
Code:
assert(file_getprop("/system/build.prop", "ro.build.fingerprint") == "verizon/htc_desirec/desirec/desirec:2.1/ERD79/185970:user
/release-keys" ||
file_getprop("/system/build.prop", "ro.build.fingerprint") == "verizon/htc_desirec/desirec/desirec:2.1/ERD79/335228:user
/release-keys");
So, I guess - in the ClockworkMod case - it depends on whether or not your ROM dev changed the "ro.build.fingerprint" in their ROM file. If it wasn't changed, and your recovery boots to ClockworkMod instead of Amon_RA, then it is possible that the install will run, which would over-write the custom recovery. Not really a disaster, even if that happens, as you still have a rooted ROM from which you can run
Code:
flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-eris-v1.6.2.img
.
If you went into a bootloop after the install, and you had the 1.49.0000 S-ON bootloader, and you did not have USB debugging turned on... well, that would be a possible disaster (soft bricking). (Another reason to use Amon_RA with a current version of ROM Manager, rather than having Clockwork being written into the recovery boot.)
If you have a stock ROM which is rooted, and you DO want the update to happen, gnarlyc put together a flashable .zip which performs the same patching update, but does not overwrite either the recovery boot or the radio. You can find that flashable .zip here.
Obviously, you ought to know which stock ROM your rooted ROM is based upon before flashing either of these.
sweet! thanks for the link to gnarly's zip. i got the install failed on the wife's rooted eris (still stock rom) but was worried i would have to unroot to do it. no way im going to do it on my gsb 1.7 eris.

bootloader must be locked on stock recovery with stock gb
I'm having a similar problem except it's dying on "LGOLF2_HTC_Vigor_Verizon.....apk" (truncated for brevity). I've reflashed from AmonRa back to the stock recovery and did a fastboot oem lock on my phone and it still fails with this error about 1/3 through the update process.
I'm getting the feeling the update is choking looking for apps we might have debloated.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Just flash the ota ruu. Even on bone stock phones the ota fails. It's so much easier flashing the ruu in hboot just like all the leaks same thing

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:

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.
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:

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.

Pretty sure this is the JB xmas file

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.

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/
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?

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
