[FIX] for Status 7 Error in Nexus S 2.3.1 Upgrade

Those of us who flashed rootboot.img to install a rooted/insecure boot image were unable to update via the 2.3.1 OTA (Status 7 Error). A few different solutions have been posted. Here's one which worked for me, courtesy of momohammed20 and Luxferro:
Step 1: Restore the "2010-12-22.21.06.07" Nandroid backup which momohammed20 shared in this thread. That wipes your phone completely and gives you stock 2.3.1 without root.
Step 2: Follow the steps provided by Luxferro in this post. That gets you back root along with ClockworkMod Recovery.
Worked perfectly for me. Again, the solution is already out there in a few other threads, but I thought this deserved its own thread since a lot of folks have been stuck with the Status 7 error when trying to update.
Thanks again to momohammed20 and Luxferro!

Umm if we have 2.3 we can't nandroid a 2.3.1 backup. Ull get an error every time.

I followed these steps, and they worked nicely with no errors whatsoever. Others have done the same.

U were runninr2.3 rooted and then nandroid the 2.3.1 and u didn't get a MD5 error? Hard to beloved BC I've tried 5 times. Can anyone else try this out n let us know? ?

Thanks alot tho, u were right!!

So will this allow the future flashing of OTAs without issue?

i also want to know if this will allow for future updates. i dont want to be reflashing my phone for every minor update.

Yes it will. The bootloader remains unlocked. But it restores everything to stock 2.3.1, and will have stock recovery, so next time there's a OTA it won't get an error when Its flashing BC u will be using the stock recovery n not CWR
Oh btw there's no root, in case u didn't understand what Stock 2.3.1 meant.

From what I understand, the problem lies in the boot.img and not ClockworkMod.

"Status 7" is the result of a rooted boot.img. It has nothing to do with ClockworkMod Recovery.

I don't know about that. For this particular OTA, it seems that the problem was the root boot. The method in the OP addresses that. However, I wouldn't assume that the next OTA will be compatible with a rooted device. My understanding (and I am no authority) is that the only way to know you're going to be getting OTAs is to revert to full stock. My intent was to have root and recovery in 2.3.1, not to get back to stock and stay there.

Wish this was posted this morning before i gave up
between some people getting it to work and other not working. People posting methods with stock boot.img but come to find out it wont work with rootboot....ect
Then realizing some people are on one root method while other used another...too confusing and i gave up after countless tries and gave and flashed modaco GRH78 r2 and glad i did because its pretty good..
IMO guys if this is going to require to you wipe your data save your self from headaches and just flash modaco GRH78 r2 with supercurio's EXT4 tweak it also rooted has new market and other fun stuff

demo, that's a good point. I'm using the r2 MoDaCo ROM now - it seems very good!

Nope, that is false. I had initially used superboot to root my phone when I first got it (w/ the pre-rooted modified boot.img). And I still got the prompt for the update. It will just give you a MD5 mismatch error when you accept the prompt and try to update.

deleted (accidental double post)

Luxferro, I think you misunderstood what I wrote. I too was rooted and got the prompt for this particular OTA, and some folks who were rooted (without root boot) were able to apply the OTA without an error. What I was trying to say was that the only way to be sure that they can receive and apply all future OTA updates would be to revert to stock (or have a means to revert to stock).

the status 7 error is a result of the patch process not finding a proper checksum for the things its patching if you have deleted system/framework apk's/odex's de-odexd the system/framework themed the system/framework changed the kernel this will cause status 7 error and will give you a hint on where the issue lies i.e. it will say somthing about calculator not match if you deleted it and error code 7

[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.

Thanks for the info, guess the update hasn't been pushed to my phone yet.

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.
I am going back to revolt today. I will see GB when the .TOT is available.

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.

Had the Error: Status 7 occur? I figured it out...

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.

**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....

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.

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.

I installed the update last night. I honestly don't know what all the changes are, but I'm pretty sure it is a bugfix release. Still android 4.1.2. The only thing that I have noticed is that after the update my led will actually flash green for a text message or email. Before the update, my led only worked for charging, so I would have no idea whether I had email or messages without turning my screen on.
I have not noticed any other changes. No noticable speedups or slowdowns. Haven't discovered any issues. None of my apps have ever forced closed on this phone, and that has not changed after the update.
So...not a bad upgrade, although it might be pointless if you don't have any issues.

19.8MB update. Can't be too much going on in there, but I'd also think it's more than a few lines of code being updated...
Ooh, fun. Looks like I can't install the OTA with CWM or TWRP. Jonslice, are you rooted?
EDIT:
Weird. Now my phone says the software is up to date. What's the Build info under About Phone for you guys? Wondering if it did actually update even though it said it failed...

The OTA zip is on my dropbox in case anyone is curious to look at it. [1] Looks to me like it's updating a handful of system files, as well as the boot and recovery images. With clockworkmod installed, I was prompted to confirm installing the update because its signature wasn't verified, but I haven't yet attempted to let it install it. This should definitely give us an "official" image for the boot and recovery partitions though, which never hurts.

It'll fail if you try to install it. I'm thinking it needs the official bootloader to work. Someone will need to make this flashable. I was trying to extract it from my phone, but you beat me to it. Thanks!

I pulled this recovery.img from the firmware.zip that's included inside OTAPkg.zip: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/7859496/Android/mystul/recovery.img
I would assume that a simple `fastboot flash recovery recovery.img` should suffice.

Huh. I couldn't get the Firmware.zip to open on my system. Thanks for doing that. Now I'm gonna go be an idiot and possibly brick my device by pushing this recovery to my phone to try and install the OTA. lol

I did also manage to snag the recovery.log from clockwork recovery when the update first tried to run, just in case that actually proves useful to anyone... https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/7859496/Android/mystul/recovery.log

Thanks. I posted both the update and your log to the development forum to see if someone with more knowledge can do anything with them.
For the record, pushing that recovery doesn't work. Well, pushing it works, but you can't get into it on the phone. I repushed TWRP to my phone in the interim.

19.8MB update. Can't be too much going on in there, but I'd also think it's more than a few lines of code being updated...
Ooh, fun. Looks like I can't install the OTA with CWM or TWRP. Jonslice, are you rooted?
EDIT:
Weird. Now my phone says the software is up to date. What's the Build info under About Phone for you guys? Wondering if it did actually update even though it said it failed...

I got failed update with CWM also. I'll try to post a build info screen shot once I'm on my desktop when my work week is over. Manual check for update says I still need update.
Note: unlocked boot loader, CWM and rooted.

As long as this doesn't remove the ability to disable Facebook Home, I'll probably update it. Can anyone confirm that this is the case?

That's a feature of Home, not the firmware. So yeah, you can still disable it. I don't ever see even Facebook changing that.
