Error with OTA FRF50->FRF91 update

Ok, I have a phone with unlocked boot loader and FRF50 on it.
I put the original system recovery on (it had another prior to my ownership), but when the OTA update arrives, I get the following error:
Verifying current system...
assert failed: apply_patch_check("/system/framework/am.jar", "efccd3...:, ea...: )
E: Error in /cache/836691a1ca8b.signed-passion-FRF91-from-FRF50.836691a9.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted...
Any ideas???
Thanks!!!
have you tried doing the line of updates start from frf50 then do frf83 then frf83b then do frf91
No, but based on the error it looks like it was trying to go from FR50 (installed) to FRF91 based on the update file name....
I'm not doing this manually, I'm letting the OTA update take care of it....
Can you point me to the update images? I'd like to get it to do OTA updates again, but if I have to do manual I guess I'll deal with it...
I wonder if it is a problem with the v 2E recovery?
Hey Pete,
I am getting the exact same issue with my nexus over here in Oz. I jumped on the early release and manually installed and now it wont update from frf50-frf91 OTA with the above error.
Very frustrating. I wondered if a wipe data/factory reset then wait for another OTA might work. I am unsure of exactly how much that will affect the phone though. I would rather not lose pictures and movies on the SD card and apps would be a PITA to get back on with my settings.
Maybe the manual updates might be a good place to start.
What version of the recovery do you have on your phone?

I am a bit of a noob Pete when it comes to Android and Nexus. I am not sure on the version or even how to check. Can you give me a hint ??
I have an un-rooted stock phone which I downloaded the FRF 50 update to when it first came out. I have made no other changes to it.
Give me a call centre skills based routing or call recording system and I'm your man, but smart phones are not in my skillset... I am trying to learn though. I just learnt what the ADB is.
you are on stock recovery and rom...and you wont anything in your SD card it doesnt wipe sdcard, only the phone setup, and if you have the backup feature on phoen you wont really lose the apps either
you can always do the #*#CHECKIN#*# on dial pad then go to settings and check for updates to see if you can get the OTA
i did it mainually it i couldnt wait any longer for the OTA.. so its not really hard to do it maunally lol
Even if I do that with my FRF50 phone, it just says success...
It took a week for the OTA update to reattempt an install. (and fail)
I did download a full signed FRF91 which I'm going to try applying soon, I hope after that OTA's will just be automatic...
Fixed at last !!!
I went through this forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=717870
Which took me back to epe76. I then went to frf85b with a link further in the same thread and got an instant OTA update to frf91.
YAY FIXED !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Forgot to post here, I downloaded the complete FRF91 signed and just installed it. Contains everyting including radio.
I don't have the link anymore, but I recall it contained the words, "FRF91", "signed", "passion"....
That should get you there...

CyanogenMod-7 autoupdate?

If i install CM7 on my phone. Do i get updates from OTA? or do i have to manually flash ROM each time a new update comes from CM team?
How about nightlies? Will i get update from 19 til 20 from OTA?
you know, as you are asking this, you probably should not install CM7 in the first place until you really know what you are doing
But if i do? Can i update?
When its released, is it possible to update it over OTA then?
You can update but not by OTA read the CM7 topic
Right now with the nightly, you have to reflash it everytime. This is made easy if you have clockwork's rom manager. The app will help you keep the rom up to date with the latest version.
If you have the paid ROM Manger you can get OTA nightly build updates.

[Q] Custom ROM - 'We want ICS' OTA?

There was a system update yesterday but I didnt know whether to flash it. It was a mere 5.36 MB so I decided to flash it anyway. The phone rebooted and took me straight to the android exclamation screen and stayed there for a while. I had to hard reset my phone in order to get it up. No problem since then but when I checked for software updates again in settings it shows me that an install is pending. Do I install it again. Anyone else faced a similar issue? Also how did I get this OTA. Obviously I am on a custom ROM and it clearly shows OTAs disabled in the final update as shown in the link below
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1686583
OTA is not disabled in the v3 rom, I also I have received the update, is an official update one S which is the basis of the nik ROM when flashing the update that damages everything so you do not have to do

Received an F/W update from Samsung Yesterday!!! India

Hi All,
Im on the Official ICS ROM INDIA...4.0.3 DDLP4
Yesterday, when i checked kies, there was an update waiting (No Update on OTA). The downloading of firmware was taking ages to download(3.2mbps connection) and after about 70 percent the downloading stopped and Kies said "Connection stopped"....
Any body who has downloaded the F/W can you please post the change log (If you find any).. I mainly wanna know, if the laggness of the lock screen and slowness to open contact's and capturing pics has been rectified.

Ah glad that i have company.sad at the same time!! Even i have the same problem after the 7mb OTA update. The andriod process closes often and hangs the phone.The phone was literally unusable. Hence i tried to install custom gingerbread rom on it. Now its almost completely bricked.How irresponsible is samsung to roll these things out without testing it thoroughly.
***PLEASE DON'T INSTALL THE 7MB ICS OTA UPDATE***
hopefully we can save some.
I also tried to update through OTA but it was failed and message popped up that do update through Kies. Now I got update through Kies and my firmware changed from DDLP4 to DDLPA. However I lost Root.
I also received the update notification. Downloaded the 7.8 mb update within a minute and asked for reboot. Everything worked fine and nothing special noticed. It just changed the build no. from IML74K.DDLPA to IML74K.DDLP8

you mean LP8 to LPA? check your kernel version date. if it shows 12 June then fine, else your kernel has not been updated.
Hey guys basically its stability update. my phone feels much smoother now. i updated OTA via wifi, i also faced update not installed issue and i found out the problem, basically we all root our device that means we change SU binaries so when updating phone OTA it checks for those binaries and if these binaries are not official OTA update get aborted. i solved this problem like this,
1) I have downloaded STOCK LP8 firmware from samobile.com when it released
2) As my phone is rooted my SU binaries are changed so OTA update is aborted.
3) So FLASHED Stock rom LP8 from PC ODIN which kept my all DATA, APPS intact i just lost my root and some mods like 15toggles status bar and so..
4)then i started updating my phone using S/W update in settings, its 7.85MB file.
5)In few minutes my phone is updated to LPA
6)Now i again rooted my phone and my all data apps are intact and mob is much improved in stability.
Hope this will help you guys.

kernel is definitely updated in LPA. just flash LPA ROM file using Odin.
I also agree with what mullarameez has pointed out. rooting might be the reason for kernel being skipped. because if u flash LPA with odin you will lose root and hence get the new kernel.
Is there a way to update Kernel without flashing the whole 650 mb rom?
with all the issues in ICS, i think it would be safest if you would flash using the whole LPA ROM. I know its a pain to download but worth it in the end.
OMG! just a 7Mb update took 2hrs to download.. Hmmmm...
My main prob was with Lock screen, camera and contacts.. Noting has been resolved on this new Update!!!
what is the issue? is it lag?
This is confusing..
I have everything stock on my phone..All updates done OTA since i bought the phone..Not rooted..
Still the kernel says 12 May after the 7mb update..Why?? Although the deep sleep issue (sore point for me) seems to have been resolved after this update...
PS: The build info after *#1234# says 12 June, if that matters..
yes, almost all the users who updated OTA have the same issue. you may flash the new LPA using PC Odin from doc's post (anyways you're not rooted so no problem)

[Q] Help with JB OTA and JB ROM

I'm currently running latest Eclipse ICS ROM with SS v3.11. Just started getting "com.process.google.gapps has stopped" and "Google Play services have stopped" error messages nonstop, constant. Tried a couple recommended fixes, didn't work. Had been fine with Eclipse ROM up to this point but decided it's time to upgrade to JB.
So...
Booted in stock ROM slot via SS. Downloaded the OTA update, tried installing 3 different times. Upon reboot, all three times said the update failed.
First question: I assume I need the JB OTA update prior to flashing a JB ROM, correct? If so, any reason why the update is failing to install? Will I have to do anything with root and SS prior to and/or after OTA update?
Second question: Once I get the OTA to install, which Bionic JB ROM has proven most stable? I want few frills, fast, simple, clean. Any recommendations?
Really appreciate any help and advice, thanks as always all!
If anyone's curious, figured it out. Uninstalled recovery in stock rom, saved root with voodoo, installed 4.1.2 OTA manually.
