Had the Error: Status 7 occur? I figured it out... - Motorola Droid Bionic

Ok, so I can't post in the development area yet due to lack of posts, so hopefulyl someone will see this and let people know.
I was at 5.6.893-mr1 level and couldn't/didn't get the 5.7.893 update through cheesecake, so I wanted to get there and every guide I could find ended up with me getting the dreaded "Error: /tmp/sideload/package.zip status 7" error message. I just figured out how to "fix it" and get what I wanted....it will take some time....
First, go to
http://androidforums.com/bionic-all-things-root/434407-how-flash-893-update-maintain-root.html
Do everything the first post says. When choosing, use the CWR flash to 5.5.893.
This will get you to 5.6.893-mr1.
Then, hop over to
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1327537
and in the first post, go to the section "no longer needed steps" and the file:
3.)Download 5.7.893 and install 5.7.893 via stock recovery Blur_Version.5.6.893-5.7.893.XT875.Verizon.en.US
md5:e594bfcf52ae297ffb9a77b3cbb20882
Install this via stock recovery and reboot. Now, you should have a phone that is 5.7.893, but you'll notice webtop is still screwed.
So, now you can head over to:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1327537 (same thread as before) and follow all the directions in the OP.
FINALLY! You should be at 5.7.893 with a usable webtop and you can apply the hacked webtop to get it without the dock.
I hope this helps someone. I spent the better part of my work day to get this figured out. Hopefully a dev can see what I've done here and make it easier. I think the magic sauce was the CWR flash to 5.5.893 with subsequent stock recovery updates to get the radio and kernel updated such that the "one big update" file worked as intended.

Has anyone else had this problem?

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!! I tried what you did last night because of the same issues you were having and have been trying ever since to fix it. Every update I tried gave me that error message. THIS WORKED PERFECTLY for me. Thank you so much!
I just noticed that the webtop is still showing as unavailable. Should it still show like that? I don't use it anyway but just want to make sure it works in case I do. Thanks again.

The small updates to get to 5.7.893 radio/kernel breaks weptop. You now have to restore your system back to 886 which will fix webtop and then use the full 5.7.893 update which will get your system back and will update webtop, bootloader, recovery, ect...
Edit: also after restoring to 886 system using dhackers v2.1 you need to make sure you forever root again which option 1 should do both.

I have the same issue!
I will try it this evening when i get to the house.
Wade
**Update**
I can confirm, this worked great. It seems as though you lose Forever Root somewhere after applying the mr1 patch.
I used dhacker's tools to get forever root back after mr1 patch, then used it a third time to go back to 886. and apply the full .886.XT875 to get webtop back.
Thanks for the assist....

[Q] How to start over?

I'm not sure whats going on with my D3. However, I have RSD and I have .890 and .959 downloaded as well as Fastboot.
What I want to do is just wipe the phone completely and just flash it like its a brand new phone.
Anyone know how to do so? Please post a link or instructions, I would greatly appreciate it.

Follow the first portion of the instructions on how to flash back to original 5.6.890. Note the making of a folder and it's name for the 890 flash.
Ignore the part about flashing the new ROM. These are the best instructions I've found so far for flashing back to stock via RSD lite.
Good luck, keep us posted.
Download and follow exactly and you'll be good to go.
Hope that helps.

Let me do some looking when I get home tonight. I remember there being a file for certain versions of XP that helped some people and they couldn't flash without it.
I never had it happen personally, but I know those that did were terribly frustrated.
I also hear the 959 version is easier to flash for some reason. Never flashed that version, so this is only hear-say. But I know it did flash easier according to posts.
I will try to dig up a link for you.
i am getting the same thing also getting the bad CG boot.. now this may be a fix but idk how this guy got it it.. i have been asking eveywhere maybe you guys could help me... here is the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1248721
I found this by Psouza. He is likely the foremost expert on making things easy as far as unbricking your D3. Rumor has it he has a set of unbrick tools floating around this forum somewhere, though I haven't found it yet. Try in the Development thread, for sure it has to be there somewhere.

I also saw that flashing the pre-installs file alone first helped someone. That file borked on me once, but I was able to adb it over and then execute it via adb to get my phone unbricked.
Please let us know what works for you, as all of this is a work in progress right now.
Good luck!
i don't know to much about adb and are looking for help on pre-installed files. I don't understand what that means or how to go about it? i also cant get past the bootloader screen, "invalid CG version". i can not boot up at all.
How bricked are you? can you boot into CWM? Are you able to boot into tools, or how far can you get?
What version were you running? 5.959 (stock) or 6.890 OTA or Leaked OTA or Soak test (all the same as far as 6.890 goes).
i can get into boot tools and just tryed another flash got to step 6 till it failed instead of 3.. I'm running stock. Cannot get passed boot tools... scratch all that just tried to flash again just on the off chance it mnight work and i got it. Going to try and re-root and CWN recovery with sdteel froids rom... will keep you in the loop
Awesome!!
Here is the link about the adb commands for preinstall.sh
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=17196391&postcount=88
It helped me when I borked my leaked update. I ran into the same problem as limaxray did with too many files in /system. So make sure you clean out any apps you made into system apps before trying the update via the standard update route, and that all stock system apps are in place and properly named.
I had to remove some that updated partially with the leaked update when mine borked. I used the posted system dump to push them to the phone and then the update ran properly and updated them anyhow.
If for some reason re-rooting doesn't work for you. Go to /system/bin and remove su, busybox. Do the same in /system/xbin. For some reason if you already have them in there when you run the process, it will say success but no root after reboot. My 2c as it happened to me. You do not need to remove superuser.apk, but you will have to update it in the market after you re-root.
Congrats!!
I see now too there is a fastboot and moto-fastboot. moto-fastboot has worked for some who had issues from what I've found.
Keep us posted, and smile knowing you've recovered from a bork; none of us got where we are without doing it at least once, so you're in good company.
re-rooted and installed bootstrap, just got steel droid all loaded up and all is good.... thanks for your speedy responses and detailed instructions and links. I realy think all that happened was i took everything aet it sone last time tried to flash and it went threw. All i used was RSD lite and flashed the 8.6.590 fast boot file and after a several retries it went threw. If anyone needs help on this i will post the file links if you need the ones i used

[Q] Cannot update to Gingerbread

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.

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.

Update failing

I just tried to search for this and didn't find anything useful...
I've been trying to get up to date tonight while maintaining root. I'm on .886 with 43V3R root and the update for .893 downloads successfully, but it has failed to install twice now. Is there any reason that it would be failing? I'm sure I've missed something obvious, but I'm kind of stumped.
Any help is appreciated.

Remember to hit the "Thanks" button when someone helps you!
When I tell it to install, it reboots to the open box/android progress bar and gets about 25% through that before the triangle with an exclamation point appears. Then it just boots like normal and a message pops up telling me that the software update failed.
I don't remember deleting anything and nothing is frozen. The only "mods" I've done are CWM and a boot animation, but I didn't think those would have caused any problems.
And just to double check, this is what I should be using if I want to maintain root, correct?

Is this the update that pushed to your phone or did you download from one of the forums? If downloaded from a forum, maybe you got a bad download. Redownload and try again. I'd go ahead and put it back 100% stock but keep root...

The boot animation mod is the culprit. Revert to stock boot animation and I'll bet you'll be fine.
same here. it's droid update that they do. i guess i'll have to set it back to stock.
Thanks for the ideas so far... I switched back to the stock boot animation and still had the same problem. It's the normal downloaded update. I'll probably wait a little bit to hear more suggestions before I restore to a clean start... it's always a little annoying to go with a completely fresh start.

Hmmm... you're positive you didn't mod anything else? Maybe try using fastboot to push stock system image (you'll have to reroot). You can do this without affecting data if you know what you're doing. My guess is you made some other change that you don't remember/realize.
What part does it fail at?
Ex: verrifying system, verrifying webtop, build.prop, etc
Right before it fails it usually slaps an error out at you.
If it was literally installing and then stopped mid way then you have bigger problems.
The fix for that would be to back up everything with TB or My backup pro, then flash a fxr.
I hope that helps.

Official Motoblur ICS for the Droid 4 possibly leaked

Just saw this thread at droidforums: http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-4-roms/208767-stock-motoblur-ics-droid4.html
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.

Okay... here is the 219 build.prop zipped
You gotta be kidding me pffffff. Those guys at Motorola check eeeeeeverything. Thnaks for the build.prop btw rumgool. But now it hangs on Motorola_XT894....3gp. Unbelievable...
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.
Thanks guys!

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.

This is a really nice build! I am not at all sorry to have risked being stuck, to be honest.
Everything appears to work very well so far and I am posting from Chrome Beta.
Still looking for the downside...

[Guide} Bionic to ICS w/Files

These files and steps will get your Bionic on ICS with root. Follow directions carefully and enjoy.
To make it simple and help I have made a 1 file tar to download. Contents include FXZ to 902 then supplied 902_905 and .230 files with RSD and new Moto Drivers. Also includes Rooting script.
http://android.mattsimoni.com/Bionic.tar
Code:
// Use at your own risk, I'm not responsible for anything that happens to your phone. This is the method I choose to do this and it worked without fail.
// You have been warned, now have fun and jump on the band wagon!!
** 902_905.zip treat like a normal update.zip and flash through stock recovery
** 6.7.230 ICS Bionic.zip you will need to unzip before flashing
**Install Flashing Process**
First back up both SDCARDS and format each
then RSD back to .902
When it boots up for the first time, bypass activation and stuff by touching the 4 corners of the screen
Top Left - Top Right - Bottom Right - Bottom Left
Add 902_905 zip to SDCARD
Reboot into recovery flash ZIP
When it boots up for the first time, bypass activation and stuff by touching the 4 corners
Top Left - Top Right - Bottom Right - Bottom Left
Add 6.7.230 ICS Bionic.zip and crc file to SDCARD

Ok I have been trying to post this for a bit now, I am running rooted Bionic .2233 very smooth and easy process. However, when I installed Avast anti virus Avast came back and told me that a program called Verizon Remote Diagnostic too is using a high SMS priority and Avast will not work properly with it installed. Avast at this point offered to uninstall and, of course, this tool will not uninstall. I googled this tool and I saw a Verizon rep saying something like this is a tool for customer service and sits in the background and does not mine data. Anyone else hear of this tool? Is there a way to freeze or due bloat? I don't like the idea that Verizon did this, the rep also said this tool was for the LG Optimus?? Is this leak originally for the Optimus?

Thanks though for the quick response.

Give me a few and Ill upload to a server
That was really easy - now one question: Is there are restore process torestore the internal and External SD cards that we backed-up?
OR should I just drag/drop what I need?
Thanks again -
Ok I have a silly question.
I followed the instructions and RSD back to 902. The problem is when I boot into recovery I get the Android guy with the !
I am able to take the 905 update and that worked just fine.
I was unable to apply 905 or ICS from this thread or any others.
I have tried to search various places but can't find the same problem.
help?

did you unroot before you did all of this? try that and see if it works.
AWSOME ...!!!
This worked GREAT ... I followed the instructions as listed and am now running ICS - BTW make sure that your battery has a good charge on it BEFORE attempting ANY flashing ...!
My battery went too low while flashing - I thought I bricked it (would not charge after) I had to borrow a battery from a buddy.
Rookie mistake I know ...
Thanks again I will update if I find any bugs.
Bricked?
I downloaded to my unrooted stock 905 bionic last night and ran the update. All went successful until I rebooted. I received a great error message..
Code:
Invalid CG OTV (CG: webtop): Invalid SP Data
Invalid CG HAB (CG: webtop, status: 0x004E)
Invalid CG OTV (CG: webtop)
I tried going back to 902 using the FXB and RSDLite, but it fails. It worked the first time and failed at 19/20.. now it fails at 1/20 (aka immediately). I tried using laptop, desktop, two USB cords, etc. Any ideas on how to unbrick? I'll update this thread if I figure out how to fix it.

Can't Download files..
this ICS leak unlock Global GSM, Right?
what is the reason for formatting the sd cards?
my phone hasn't been rooted and i'm on 905 already. i'm just in it for the ics, i haven't had a need for root, as of yet.
Just install the 233 leak works great and i didnt format the sd cards, so i dont see the need of that.
I was using the gsm hack but after the install i cant get signal and i cant change the network type in settings, ICS for the bionic will open the global feature? If not can i re apply the gsm patch? or maybe use radiocomm
Thanks
Okay quick question I downloaded the .tar file, this makes the second time. Seems the root file is empty. After both downloads it still seems to be this way. Can I just use voodoo or is there another way? Thanks
Thanks for posting this. Also, i don't remember if I was on .893 or what I was on for stock. What if I never went past .893? thanks.
Can you just use cheesecake.apk to get the 905 and leaked ICS updates? thanks.
