2 QUESTIONS...IF SOMEONE COULD HELP PLEASE?

I finally got one of the links to work on p4. Installation is completed.

Question? Can I delete the zipped folder from my SD card after the update?
And should I use the OTA update when it finally gets pushed to my phone and delete this one or would you just keep this one. I know their both the same but should I keep one over the other...any differences?

Thanks in advance.

are you trying to download the file from your mobile browser? if so, make sure unknown sources is checked in applications settings. i just downloaded the file to my mac, and placed it in my dropbox folder and pushed it to my phone that way.

yes, u can now delete the update.zip file from your sd card if your already on .340. if you try to do the OTA, your phone will tell you that your up to date unless for some reason verizon/moto decide to change the version number. but that is unlikely.

**Cyber Warrior** · 12-09-2010, 09:07 PM

Sorry for all the newb questions but...

Since this update has flash preinstalled into the phone. Do I delete the one I previously downloaded from the market?

its not a problem, ask away. so, i noticed when i did the update, i was actually prompted from the market to download another update. i wouldn't delete flash, just check in the market and if its not showing an update, then your good

**Cyber Warrior** · 12-09-2010, 09:19 PM

Thanks. That's why I asked. I was in the market and noticed the update. Just double checking. Thanks again.

Hmm. Would you mind sharing or linking some info on how to properly get things in order for me and others in my situation? I'm still new to Android's OS and really don't want to screw up the phone.

**davidnc** · 12-10-2010, 04:39 AM

Yup I noticed there was a flash update as well as a gmail update, just update them is all you need to do tho

I'm having some problems with this. I was rooted, themed, running custom rom, etc, but wanted to get up to date. I downloaded and flashed 928's back-to-stock 2.2 without issue. Problem came in when it came time to apply the update.zip found here. I downloaded the 340update.zip file to my mac a few times, but it kept automatically opening it to a folder every time and not leaving it zipped. Finally I just compressed it myself, renamed it update.zip, dropped it on the root of the SD. I just tried flashing it via stock recovery and it said update failed. When it booted out of that it dropped me into clockwork. I figured what the hell and tried to flash it from there, too, but it still wouldn't take and locked up on the install. Then I took the folder that downloaded to my mac and renamed it update.zip and tried just dropping that onto my SD. Again, no good. It said e-signature failed. Anyone have any idead?

**vfajardo187** · 12-10-2010, 08:43 AM

I am rooted with factory ROM, running system version 2.3.15. When copying the update.zip to the root of the sd card and trying the update it fails. When trying the ota update, I get the message "check for update was not available at this time. Try again later." Has anyone else run into either issue I am facing, please help.

if you want the update, or OTA, you need to be on stock 2.3.15. All Blur, Bloat also needs to be on your device. If you made a nandroid backup before putting a custom rom/theme, then all you need to do is flash that backup and your set. did you make a backup? if not, you'll need to find another path to apply a system update.

looks like the OTA is now available, so keep checking for the OTA and you should be able to udpate your X.

hey bald steve --
if you are using safari, go to preferences > select the general tab > uncheck the "open 'safe' files after downloading" radio button; this will prevent safari from automatically unzipping the download.

i'm not sure about firefox/opera/chrome. let us know if that doesn't work!
HTH!
cheers

Ahhhhh, thanks! I'm on Safari, so I'll try this later.

928's return-to-stock-ota-odexed did the right thing in getting me back to stock in that all bloat was there and the system build number is VZW, but the weird part is that after I go through the Android setup it kicks me right into ADW, which installed with RubiX (I"m an LPP guy and have never even used it). I'm doing full data/cache wipes, format system, mount/system installs, too. Anyway, I just flashed my nandroid and deleted ADW in Root Explorer, so hopefully that will correct this.

**stacyadell** · 12-10-2010, 12:08 PM

Is the update the same as the zip from yesterday? if not what's the best method to flash back so the new official can be installed?

**PhoenixMike** · 12-10-2010, 12:12 PM

Ran into some trouble here. Trying to flash back to the 2.3.15 and it failed. Phone booted up fine afterwards. Not sure what to do here. Any help so I can finally get the update?

EDIT: Nevermind. Figured it out.

**Bleezy** · 12-10-2010, 03:02 PM

Running stock but rooted, ive gotten the OTA update this morning and it failed during install 3 times. Now the OTA is not available?? Tried doing it manually from the SD card but it still fails. Any ideas?

Do you have to unroot first? I dont understand why it wouldnt work on a stock DX??

Did you delete any of the oem software that came with the phone? If you did the ota does a check to see if everything is original

The Zip and the ota are identical with the main diff that the zip contains everything while the ota has you download it from your phone which is far slower

Could be the zip file is corrupted, can you open it and look inside without having any warnings pop up on your computer?

**Bald Steve** · 12-11-2010, 04:24 PM

Update on my saga: I'm a dumb@$$. I flashed back to my nandroid with 2.3.15 and RubiX 1.9 and deleted ADW, having forgotten that I had deleted the stock blur Home launcher. I flashed 928's back to stock 2.2 OTA and bricked it hard. Ha ha ha. I keep an sbf of 2.1 around for these emergencies, so I fired up rsd lite, connected the pricey paperweight, flashed 2.1 and was back in business. The cool thing was that once I got back in and checked the system info there was an alert telling me there was a system upgrade available - 2.2.340. I downloaded, installed and voila - 2.2.340 OTA. Yeah! However...

Root was no more. I scoured the web for info and everyone said that you needed Z4root to do it, but try as I might I just couldn't get it to work. Either the download would stop shortly after starting with a message stating that "this type of content isn't permitted", or the apk would download and when I tried to open it said, "unable to parse file". WTF, right?!?!?! Anyway, more research...then more research until I found a guy on XDA stating that Z4root would work on the latest OTA as long as you used version 1.1.0, which he was kind enough to attach. Downloaded, installed, ran, and got root back. From there it was a matter of reinstalling all my apps and data via titanium, which went off without a hitch.

BUT, the first thing I did after re-obtaining root was to hit clockwork and make a nandroid of 2.2.340 as is with nothing done so I'll have it if I need it when Gingerbread drops. I don't want to deal with this again.

Tried the OTA Zip file, but couldnt get it to install
finally went with the droid .320 format system, mount system, install from zip meothod with .320 and now have that running fine.
is there a zip that would work for that method with .340? would the same method work with the OTA zip i already grabbed from here?
is there any significant difference between the 2 that i should be worried about updating (power amp seems to be broken so im hoping .340 fixes that)

i have done the same. i just dont understand why i cant get .340. fixing to throw the x into the front yard. damn the OTA.

**jaj6503** · 12-12-2010, 07:45 PM

Cannot update, running a rooted 2.3.15. Have all the bloatware reinstalled from sbf.

I get a 'Status 7 Error Abort' every time. Should I unroot and attempt?
