Hey everyone. I rooted my phone a while back (around June), but it got unrooted during the update in July and I haven't bothered rooting it again. But now, when I try to update to Gingerbread, I always get a message saying "Update failed or incomplete" after downloading and rebooting. I noticed I still have SuperUser installed, so I tried unrooting with SuperOneClick, but SuperOneClick is stuck on "Waiting for Device". I have also tried to reset to factory settings, with the same result. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks.

You may not have updated like you thought. V6 should have gotten rid of root for you. I had to do a factory restore, wipe the data and image, all of it. When I went back to do all that stuff, I still had the Bionic splash screen, and it is because of that little change, that I was not able to update myself. You may have something similar going on with your phone, just in a different place. Anything beyond doing that, just ask, but it should take care of you. Make a backup first, just in case. You will have to set everything up again.

Thanks for your reply. I have performed a factory reset, but the update still fails. I also notice that after the reset, SuperUser is still listed under my installed apps.

It fails. the update downloads, and reboots to install. But about half way through the installation, the phone reboots again. when the home screen comes up, a screen pops up saying "update failed or incomplete".
I had the same problem. Did you reinstall the stock recovery program? I also had the bionic boot image from revolt1.5, which was messing things up. Once I reverted back to the stock boot image, the update went through.

Apparently the update hasn't been pushed to all phones yet...there's several of us on xda that still don't have it. Jackpot08 is working on a .tot but until then, we just have to wait.
Some people have called Verizon and they can't force the update to your phone, so don't bother with that.

I have been on stock for a week now, and its been horrible. I forgot how slow this was before devs streamlined the system, and how many rooted apps/functions I used.

Were you attempting to update to gingerbread by using the TOT? Or was there an update available though your service provider?
If you were getting a failure through the network, it's likely because you haven't gone back to stock recovery and still have ClockWorkMod Recovery installed. Use DevToolKit to fix this.
If you are using the TOT and getting a failure, do a checksum on the TOT file.
I've been working on this actively as I have a revolution. LG has informed me the update push completed on November 2. Nobody at VZW or LG can tell me why some Revolutions haven't gotten the push.
VZW Engineering has apparently been alerted, but LG has been unresponsive to me to-date.
I'm not waiting and putting together a one-package manual update kit, but I do want to give LG and VZW time to give me an update. Thing is, it's been over 72 hours now and there hasn't been one, so my patience is wearing thin.
It's disappointing that LG hasn't responded to any of my inquiries... I'm asking the right people behind the scenes.

Yeah, I'm leaning towards drafting an idiot-proof TOT guide, it's just going to be really upsetting if I have to do that. If this was Apple, and not LG, we wouldn't even have this thread right now.
Option-click .ipk and done... not that Apple would even let ~1-5% of a device "miss" an update.
So, I've confirmed a few things with LG officially:
1) The ZV7 update has not been pulled.
2) LG was not aware of this issue until I reported it.
3) LG is just now starting the process of investigating.
I can't flash a TOT on mine right now, as LG may want to capture my unit for evaluation. I'll know more soon, hopefully by Monday.
Verizon was trying to push an update on me back on the 11th. It was the V6 update, as I was running V4. It failed, and I manually ran the tot through with LGNPST. Since thecubed had posted the V7 tot as well, I ran that through as well.
I probably did not need to go from V4 to V6 to get to V7, but I figured it wouldn't hurt.
But as I said, the only push I had received was on the 11th, well after the 2nd.
As a semi-newbie, it was easier to push the tot on than anything else.
LG Engineering is at least listening... they have agreed to capture my unit and send me a brand new Revolution simultaneously.

Guys.. chill out - the Samsung official announcement said
"An update to improve the Samsung Captivate's GPS performance is now available. Captivate customers will receive a notification on their device that an update is available and will simply need to download the file to update their phone. The updates will be pushed to customers' devices over the next few weeks."
You do not need to check for the update yourself.
not the point. the point is, it is possible to get it now, and it's not working for us rooters :/

call me stupid, but how would I go about installing this?
Receiving my Bionic in a day or two.. Should I root the Bionic before I update or update then root? The reason I ask is many times the carriers patch the root methods that are used and after the update they no longer work.
I also noticed the bootloader is still locked down and is this going to be figured out?? Coming from all HTC devices I have noticed the Recovery that is used is a little different then on my Thunderbolt.
The Recovery that is used is in the Android Market and is called the Bionic Bootloader?
I will be doing lot's of reading but my main concern was the new update that has just been pushed out, should I download it before I root??
Thanks,
Vinny

I am also interested in this exact same question about what to do first. I just bought my wife a bionic and she came from a rooted Fascinate. She keeps asking me why she can't do certain things on her bionic and I have to keep telling her I'll fix it soon lol. Problem is I'm not sure if I should wait for the official update.
I'm definitely going to root because it will be her wifi at home while I'm at work.

Our update process veers of the course of the official update path. We have a method of retaining root known as Forever Root by P3Droid (I believe?). In addition, our bootloader is still locked, but we are petitioning. Hoping for an Atrix type unlock. As for recovery, since we don't have unlocked bootloader, we can't write recovery. The one you see in the market is a paid donation. There is also a free one. This allows you to flash ROM's.
We also have Safestrap for CM7 and ICS, but they are still very early works.
Sent from my DROID BIONIC
I see there is a new official update rolling out and my phone will be delivered tomorrow. Should I root it right away and then download the update through recovery? Coming from a long line of HTC devices I can say that Motorola is all new to me. If I accept the new update I may not be able to root it thru the current methods. Carriers are great at plugging holes. If anyone can point me in the right direction I would appreciate it. Every article I read about the Droid Bionic there are so many different methods I am not familiar with.
Thanks,
Vinny
I was going to buy the razr but I like the idea of a battery I can get at. Both phones have just about the same specs and accessories. The Locked down bootloader really sucks.
I've been researching this question all day at work, shhh lol, and I'm pretty confident I know what to do now.
Those of us who are not rooted and have not accepted the new update will need to root first using the forever root method developed by the droidtheory crew. Then after we are rooted we can update to the newest ota and still maintain root. We will also be able to flash whatever rom we would like.
This is what I am going to do to my wife's bionic so hopefully I don't screw up! Someone correct me if I am wrong.

Well I got it rooted fine, but I can't get the update to show up. I've rebooted 3 times so far and nothing. I'm currently making a nandroid backup of the complete stock rom. I'm hoping the update just hasn't rolled out yet to the South Dakota area.

I was finally able to get the update. I rebooted into cwm and cleared data/factory reset. Rebooted and the update showed up. The update went smoothly and I was able to keep root. Flashed droidtheory's kinectix rom and everything is perfect now.
Word of caution: Do not format system in cwm and then try to use the reboot recovery option. It will soft brick your phone! Luckily it was very easy to fix, but it still scared the bejesus outta me!

Can anyone confirm if this is legit?
EDIT: Removed link to the update file for everyone's safety. This is not an update you want to install. It will take you off the update path and attempting to flash one of the currently available fastboot files will result in a brick.
I pulled the same thing by the cake method earlier today but was afraid to flash a unknown.
I tried, based on the instructions on the page, and as usual, cheesecake won't work for me. I get the "account needed" prompt. I'll try again tomorrow.
Thanks!
I'm downloading it now. I hope this works with Safestrap and I get to keep root. Or at least be able to re-root again. Have to be carefull. Need GSM to work
The day after I sold my T-Mo Sensation, and the day before I get my VZW Droid 4. Looks like the gods have decided not to smite me today.
Booted Safestrap. Flashed stock 215.
Can't update to 219 So no wonder I couldn't update to ICS... Here I go again...
It sounds like a couple of people over on DroidForums HAVE gotten this to load. To paraphrase what hashcode said over there, be very very careful with this guys. There are quite a few Razr owners now stuck outside of the upgrade path and unable to use fastboot to restore after flashing an ICS leak. I think I am going to hold off on this one personally. What I am REALLY hoping to see is some improvements to CM9, AOKP, and Gummy come out of this. Particularly the data issues.
Trying it the Cheesecake way and its downloading. Anyone tried it yet? Curious if Safestrap survived. As long as it works I'll be glad. Hope the different baseband fixed audio over UMTS/HSDPA.

You are a brave man Try using OTA RootKeeper. It worked with the last update. I would be very interested to see if it works with the ICS update as well.
Ok guys, I installed it. Voodoo OTA RootKeeper did NOT work for me, and attempting to flash the 6.13.219 fastboot file resulted in a brick.
I would strongly advise not installing this update.

Really sorry to hear that. Thanks so much for the information though. Did you try the .215 fastboot file? I'm guessing the result would be the same but might be worth a shot.
Can you tell us why you tried to install the fastboot file? You didn't like ICS or is it because of root priviliges? I've tried like 15 times. It just won't update. So now I temp unrooted, uninstalled Safestrap and hope for the best. Next step woul be to fastboot 219 and try on a fresh clean install. The only thing I can think of is that my build.prop gets in the way. Anyone mind posting a stock .219 build.prop?

There were a several things with this ICS build that were a bit disappointing (native ICS screenshot function didn't work, no "Charge only" mode when connected via USB to PC) but no root access was the dealbreaker. I knew flashing the .219 file was a risk based on what happened with the RAZR ICS leaks but I just figured I'd be the guinea pig
I had the same problem you did when attempting to install it, so I flashed the clean .219 fastboot file and then the ICS update was successful.

Finally got it going. But like you said, had to flash SBF. That's some pretty scary **** . I'm used to Milestone / Droid 1 flashing and I've flashed a Razr before. This one takes twice as long. So for you wanting to flash SBF, don't be alarmed. It takes a while, a very loooong while.
Question: Why would the update prevent flashing via fastboot? I'm only familiar with SBFs, but the point of those were that no matter how bad things got, you could wipe everything out and start over. Is that no longer the case
GSM working!!!!!!
Yes!!!! audio over 3G GSM!!!!
Finally. Don't know what works and what doesn't. But audio works and you have GSM settings right from the get go. Now I'm gonna eat, then I'm gonna play and after that I'll tell you what I think of it.

The new fastboot files are nothing like the old sbf's. Wrong radio, different build number and many other things can cause it to fail. Then your stuck in fastboot mode with a soft brick.

Everything appears to work very well so far and I am posting from Chrome Beta.
Still looking for the downside...
I've been following the guide here to flash Jelly Bean onto my Atrix HD, so I could next flash the Batakang ROM as the guide recommends. I got Jelly Bean onto the device, but after I install Safestrap and try to open it, it immediately displays "Unforuntately, Safestrap has stopped working" and closes itself. I think I installed the right version (the one for Razr HD, tried both 3.04 and 3.05. I think it works with the Atrix HD as well). Voodoo OTA shows that all checkboxes under Status are checked, so I don't think it's a root issue.
I did a search for Safestrap and I didn't really see anything related to my problem. I'm kinda at a loss here. Maybe I got a bad flash and need to redo everything?

I'm having this same issue with my Galaxy S4, build NC5. I rooted using Towelroot v3, then installed Safestrap (JFLTEVZW-3.71). Everything seemed to be working fine, I installed the recovery, rebooted, and now I can't open the app. This is frustrating because I decided I would rather use a different recovery, and want to remove Safestrap. I can get into recovery on boot, but no matter what I do the app won't open. SuperSU/binary seems to be up to date. Any ideas?

Sorry, I didn't think this sounded like a device-specific issue, and this was the only thread anywhere that seemed to address it. But anyway thanks for showing me the ropes . I ended up fixing it by changing SELinux from enforcing to permissive (I had done this to install Safestrap, but then it reverted back). Problem solved!

Right, but you also should have noticed that the last post was back in December 2012. That's because the Atrix HD later had its bootloader unlocked, thus negating the need for anything Safestrap related on this phone. So if you really needed help, it's unlikely that anyone here would be able to help you, because no one is using Safestrap anymore. Which is why I was trying to steer you towards someone that could actually help.
Just another reason to use the correct forum. Otherwise, glad you figured it out.
I know this may be the wrong section.. But do u by any chance still have the safestrap apk because all of the downloads are bad now and I can't find one anywhere on the internet . I really need it.. My computer quit working so I can't unlock the bootloader right now.. I just need an easy recovery because I want to use xposed but I need recovery in case anything goes wrong. Any help will be appreciated
Just curious if any one else is having this issue. While testing zvb rom, cwm corrupted my system folder and cwm would not format/mount it. System would not boot. Could not flash anything that wrote to the system folder. Would not boot so I couldn't flash a tot, normally. Had to flash in emergency download mode. Now everything is fine except that I can't get any ota's. it keeps saying that there is no ota available, that my system is up to date.
Just wondering if anyone that has used emergency download mode then tried to ota, is having this issue.
Not me. That's helpful, right?
I un-rooted and un-CWMed (by resetting the executable bit on install-recovery.sh), so I was, theoretically, stock zv9. I could download the OTA (for the, like, millionth time), but it wouldn't install. Finally I dusted off Windows and did the normal TOT, and then was able to OTA to zvb.

I'm just curious if anyone else is having or had (previous revo owners) this issue. Nothing more. I couldn't get my phone to boot, therefore, I couldn't flash the v8 tot normally. I had no choice but to use 'emergency download mode'. Doing so, put me in 'test mode'. Once getting out of test mode, I get the "No software update available".
No biggie. OG ZVB runs absolutely flawless on v8. But if there is a way to get back to zvb, then I'm game. I would like to run OG ZVB on zvb Only seems appropriate

Just curious: how much zv8 is left behind when you flash OG ZVB?
I pm'd you yesterday or the day before about maybe getting zvb back, in case you didn't see it.
OG ZVB is just the software part of ZVB. I'm trying to figure out how to rip the firmware. One of the esteem guys is working on that and we will see where it goes.

If you previously ran ZVB then installed OG, you have the zvb firmware, correct?
If so, so far it is running great.
