I've looked and I couldn't find a direct solution, so I'm going to give birth to this thread.
Problem: I want (and have problems downloading) the OTA Ice Cream Sandwich update on my rooted Verizon Motorola Droid 4
I rooted my phone awhile back. Just today I received a message that the system update was available.
-I am able to download the update.
-I am able to begin installing the update.
-During the installation process, the yellow progress indication bar fills about 1/8 of the way, then I get the ! warning sign above the little android figure.
Here's what I've done so far to try and correct this problem:
-Restarted my phone
-Restarted my computer
-Downloaded and installed the latest Motorola drivers from the official Motorola website.
-I attempted* to un-root my phone using the Droid 4 Utility 0.4.
--I should note that in the log, there was a like that read:
rm failed for /data/app/com.noshufou.android.su-1.apk, No such file or directory
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
-Restarted my phone again
-Tried installing the update with still no luck
*It appears that all the Droid 4 Utility did was remove Superuser, though I could be wrong. However, if this is the case, I still have a rooted device.
Once again, I'd prefer to have the OTA update, and not a leaked/rooted version of ICS. There's a possibility I didn't unroot my phone all the way. Am I doing this right?
Thanks in advance for the help.
ICS hasn't been officially released for the D4 yet.
This morning when I woke up I received an "Update available" notification. I am able to download an update for my phone. After downloading the update, I receive another notification:
"Install update
Update (6.13.219.en.US) has been downloaded and is ready to install.
Installation will take up to 10 minutes. Upon completion the phone will power off than back on.."
So it absolutely did not occur to you that this is the "219" update which can be found in this (General) section as well as in the Android development section .
Please do take a look in the topics mentioning "update" or "219". You will find topics for rooted and stock phones regarding the 219 update and how to proceed.

Thanks for your help. I'm slightly inexperienced. I was so excited when I saw the system update that I suspected it to be ICS. Albeit, my hunt continues.
it failed because u altered system files of some kind... its happening to me too. i downloaded the stock system app zip from here in hopes to replace the system apk's so the update will go through but i dont know how to replace the system files... is it as simple as copy and paste, do u have to copy it to the sd card then use a file explorer to copy and overwrite over the files? i dont want to mess something up
I did modify the build file in root/system in order to install a certain APP from the Google Play Store, but I made sure I went and reversed all of the changes I made. Could you please post where you got this file from?

but how do u copy those files from NOTE 2? i downloaded the file, extracted the files but i cant copy them to the system folder
copy them to your phone via usb, make sure you are rooted, and CAREFULLY COPY them using a root explorer. You can get a good one from AntTek for free on the Play Store.
I tried that.. copied the files to the sd card. I can see them when i browse the sd card via the computer but when i unplug the cord they arent there anymore. Would replacing the stock boot animation via rom manager have anything to do with the fail?
Sent from my DROID4 using XDA
remember that the "sd card" the computer sees is the phone's internal storage. your actual sd card, as the computer sees it, is referred to by the phone as "sd-ext" or "external sd card" usually.
I did the samething, I changed two files and got help from this forum to get the originals. I use es file explorer in root and copied the files to where they need to be. I checked the permissions and rebulit the checksum for each file. After that I used voodoo to save my root. I rebooted instal from sdcard and it worked. hope this helps.
well it wasnt an app that i deleted.. i was reading somewhere about the build.prop file being messed up from using rom manager so i downloaded a new copy and pasted it over the old one and the update went through! thanks everyone!

First and foremost i want to thank esk02k and his friend for the images. All Credit goes to him for the images check out his post on xda called the thc weed leaf (i would post the link to his page but it wont let me says out side links are not allowed by new users but yet its an internal link). I didnt use all of them as there was only 37 images that i had to replace and i couldnt find the file that links to the boot up animation png files to add in the extra files so i used most of them and all i did was make it to the right size and converted them from jpg to png.
I am using the stock rom and my phone is rooted using universal androot version 1.6.2 beta5 (search for 1-click root for N1 to find this it will work on this phone) you have to install super user then you need root explorer found in the market. Now on to how to install this.
1) Install universal androot and the root explorer run universal androot to get your phone rooted you may chose soft root which only lets you temporary root till you reboot (dont worry it will not void your warrenty)
2) Download kyocera zio m6000.zip at the bottom of this post and extract it to a folder on your pc
3) Copy the folder to the root of your sd card
4) Open up root explorer and click on /data/FLEX/bootanimation
5) Copy Startup_Sound_M6000.ogg from the folder you copied to your sd card to the /data/FLEX/bootanimation folder overwriting the one in there
6) Next goto /data/FLEX/bootanimation/assets folder and copy all the png files from the folder you copied to your sd card to the assets folder over writing the ones in there
7) Exit out of root explorer and reboot your phone to see your new boot up screen and enjoy the first mod for this phone. (Note im not sure why the android screen dont show up no more when none of the files that was replaced was the android png files only the cricket png files are replaced)
Well there you have it the very first mod for this phone i hope you all like it as this is my first attempt at making a boot up screen animation im not sure how to make it animate more so please give constructive critisim do not bash it please and please tell esk02k thank you for all the hard work he did with the images all i made was the start up sound and resized the images and converted them to png to work on this phone so in all it only took me bout 7 hours his work was a ton harder and probably took him days maybe weeks. So major props to esk02k
**edit** Wow i started this by making the first mod for the phone and showed you all where to replace the stuff and got the ball rolling and not one thank you. Wow it shows me how much im appreiated here.
Everytime I try to copy the files, it says I do not have enough space. What do I need to get rid of?

Remove some unwanted apps or apps that came on the stock rom that are worthless to you i removed the demo games that the company put on it and that gave me enough free space you need 6.50 mega bytes free to use this i made it as small as i could with out making it look like crap. you can remove some of the apps from /data/app i would recomend to back up the files before u delete them in case u have to put them back.
I have tried to copy the new pngs to the assets folder, but every time. I do, the original files replace the new ones. The closest I got was when I rebooted and I saw the first png of the original cricket boot animation, then it skipped all but the very last one of the new png I attempted to install.
Can anybody help me?

Apparently, the same number of images as the original must be used?
I tried one of my own, using boot screen found elsewhere on XDA that had more images. Didn't work.
Going to play around w/ the images today, reduce the count to the same as the original and see if that's indeed the case.
Or maybe it was the size of the images. I dunno yet.
Doesn't do a thing to my Cricket Zio.

Well, the 2.2 thread appears to refer to the windows downloader, with which I have two problems:
1) I don't run windows but linux, and
2) To do this, it appears I need to get into USB debug mode. I'm stuck in fastboot.
What I think I really need is the stock ROM from the Sanyo Zio. Does somebody here have this?

I'm wondering if ReactOS is far enough along to run the updater. Will have to give it a try, liveCD.
No go. Booted the live CD, couldn't access any of the media devices to access the update tool.
Hmm
but listen, I can't get the phone into USB debug mode, so how can I run the updater? At the moment I'm stuck with fastboot. Normal boot is black screen, no response of any kind, no adb.
Turn the phone off, hold volume up down and power and your phone will bopt into modem download mode. Then update.

Issue 1: I'm trying to install ClockPackage.apk, Gallery3D.apk, MyFiles.apk in order to have the stock clock. I keep getting the error "Failure [INSTALL_PARSE_FAILED_NO_CERTIFICATES]" when i try to use the command adb install (any of the 3).apk. I have also tried "adb push" which doesn't seem like a valid command. I tried moving the 3 apk files to my sd card on the phone and using "installer" and "eoeAppinstaller" from the market and these fail as well. Any more suggestions? I really like this di11igaf's ROM, but I cannot stand the new alarm ( i like the gradual volume increase of the stock). I have tried a couple of market clocks, but they just didn't work for me. Thank you very much in advance.
Issue 2: If I use CWM and choose Reboot into Recovery i get the following:
Android system recovery <3e>
Samsung Recovery Utils
- for BML -
Enter OK Key, Select : Vol UP / Vol Down
reboot system now
apply sdcard:update.zip

At this point I can use the volume buttons to scroll up and down, but the power button will not select anything. The only thing I can do is remove the battery and boot the phone back up, which then takes me into CWM recovery v2.5.1.0. I was able to install the di11i add on, but I don't think that I'm supposed to be pulling the battery to get to this point.
Thanks again and sorry about the long post.
Im no expert on this type of stuff but I use di11i roms and I just transfer apk's to the root of the phone through the regular mass storage mode and use root explorer for the rest.Havent had any problems yet.
As for issue 2 is the package a .zip file? If not that may or may not be the problem.
From my own personal experience the 3dapp isn't sign so I can't install it too
System apps are best copied manually into the /system/app folder using app like root explorer. Make sure the folder is in r/w mode.

+1 you can simply use root explorer to copy the apk files into \system\app folder. quick and easy.

It is a zip file and it installed. What concerned me was the process. Should it have frozen up like that and forced a battery pull? Nothing I've read leads me to believe that was proper behavior of the CWM.

I don't have that directory. Are you creating it on the phone and then putting the files into it? I may have not been clear on what I am trying to do.

I just looked into exactly what you were talking about and I got it figured out.It wasnt installing for me either but this is what I did and it works now.
Through mass storage mode I copied the 3 files to the root of the card.
Then I moved the files to the app folder which is inside the system folder.
I use root explorer for the moving.
When you move them into the app folder its gonna ask to overwrite say yes.
After you get everything moved it will work if you go to the app in the drawer.I never actually installed anything but did an overwrite.

u cannot see it in my files. u need to have root access, and something like root explorer.
So it looks like I could have just copied and pasted the files from the sdcard/Clock folder I placed them in to the /system/app folder using Super Manager. I swear I tried that and it failed before I went through all the crappy steps below. Oh well.
Ok this is going to sound pretty cheap, but I didn't want to pay the ~$4.02 for an ap that I was going to use three times. I did find another way. I used Super Manager and http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=877316&highlight=installing+apk post #3.
So for any other cheapskates out there.
1. Install Super Manager on phone
2. Install ADB on pc
3. Connect phone to pc and copy the three files ClockPackage.apk, Gallery3D.apk, and MyFiles.apk to the sd card. (I just drag and dropped in windows explorer)
4. Use Super Manager to move to /system/app/ and rename the existing file Gallery3D.apk (I renamed it to Gallery3D.old)
5. Use adb to copy the 3 files from the directory in which you originally placed them on the phone to /system/app/
in adb type:
adb shell
su
(accept the prompt on your screen)
cd /sdcard/whereveryoustuckfile
cp blahblahblah.apk /system/app/ (the red from Pirateghost).
6. Reboot
The clock and alarm work fine, but I cannot get Daily briefing option in alarm to work. I get a FC. I did install the "apk add on pack for 5.6" post 3 of http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=897416 , but I dont think Daily Briefing was included in that. Any suggestions? And one last thing - what is the di11iBrowserfix.zip from post 3 of the thread above for? Thanks again to all who contributed.
I got the daily briefing working. Everything is almost perfect, but I would like two things still.
1. Is there anyway to change the tune that is played when you have smart alarm selected? I have a different tone selected, but I think once you select smart alarm it defaults to that new age tone.
2. My alarm goes off, I stop it, but then I have to unlock it before I see the daily briefing. Can anyone think of a way to have the phone unlock when I turn off the alarm. I know it is so insignificant, but it used to do that when it was stock and it was pretty cool.
Come one guys and gals - don't make me figure this one out by myself j/k but seriously I have surprised myself already by getting this far and I really don't have skill or knowledge for the last two things. I'm learning though....slowly.
Thread etiquette
Did I do something wrong here? I got some really quick responses to my questions before, but nothing on my latest. I ask this next question with all seriousness - should I have started a new thread since it's kind of a new topic? No worries either way, I just want to post in the the most effective way. Thanks. BTW, my phone is working great. I'm getting ready to install 6.0 GPS is a little screwy - often has me west of my location by about 30 meters by I attribute that to the phones hardware. Other than that I have no complaints (except for the lame smart alarm tune)

Nope. Get the CWM flashable zip, and copy to ur sdcard. Then go to CWM recovery console, and install this zip. Reboot.
But, please take a nandroid backup, and try to avoid OC kernels if u r unsure ur phone can handle it. Phones freeze when tried to oc beyond their capability.

lacesout, had the same experience. Used one-click method to root, then used psouza4's bloat script to remove, then restore apps when the update became available. These were my only mods. Went to /system/app and all app's are back with the proper apk extension. Update downloads fine, then hangs at 1/4 to 1/3 of install. Anyone else with similar experience or thoughts as to what's hanging the OTA install?
If you used the script to re-bloat the system, use root explorer and double check all the ".bak"s were removed. I don't remember which one, but I remember there was a file or two the script skipped over.
Also, if you did a nandroid before debloating, you can restore it, then go get the update. (The second option is what worked for me).

Thanks for the reply and the tip on root explorer, it's an elegant tool, more intuitive to use than the freeware apps.
All the file extensions in /system/app are either .apk or .odex with the exception of Fota.apk.bak, and Fota.odex.bak. As the first time I heard of nandroid was your post, I unfortunately didn't use it, so I don't know if these were the extensions before I used psouza's bloat removal script. Fota was not on the list of scripts to remove/rename in his original post.
As Fota is the "firmware over the air" app, it is suspicious that it's the only one with a .bak ext. I am using root explorer to rename both, removing the .bak, and then will attempt another update.
Success! "Your phone has been upgraded to 5.6.890.en US version". Have lost root, at least for the moment. Will deal with that tomorrow. Last thing to do before going to bed is find the "Thanks" button. Thanks for setting me on the right path. P.
Unable to root after OTA to .890
One click root not longer works. After clicking "run_to_root_your_droid3.sh" on PC (Ubuntu 10.04) I get no prompts on screen, but phone does reboot twice. No su privileges after boot. Busybox is installed in /system/xbin and there is nothing I can do about it as I can't mount r/w. Using Root Explorer and Script Manager as tools.
I realize I'm going to have to increase my learning curve here. Would appreciate any links to relative threads on this topic, or suggestions on what to try next (I have searched, but need some direction).
Hi
First post here, I'm new to Android and rooting but I know my way around computer systems in general so hoping you guys can help me, haven't seen a thread about this exact problem so far.
I've semi-bricked (bootlooped) my Samsung Galaxy Ace running Gingerbread, having rooted it last month using the upd_1 package and enjoying a bloatware-free phone, happily installing apps onto my second partition on my SD card. I've not changed my ROM, just the stock is good enough for me for now. However I was getting continually prompted by Homescreen Selector nags at powering up for some reason and I thought I could disable it by applying Freeze using LInk2SD, but since doing that I continually get the Samsung logo, the orange "explosion" (I'm with Orange) then a vibration and the whole cycle repeats. My guess is the operating system can't find the selector.apk app since I froze it.
I thought the solution would be simple - use adb shell to rename back from selector.fro to selector.apk. However I'm unable to find any such file in my system/app folder. There are a load of other apk and odex files but not that one. When I type su I get "permission denied", though I definitely rooted my phone but I don't think I have my bootloader unlocked.
I don't have CWM installed or any backups unfortunately (yes, I know...), so even if I took one now prior to a factory reset, surely the same problem would come back if I were to restore from any backup I were to take now. I can get into Recovery and Download screens ok but don't want to restore the whole ROM unless I have to, since I know it's only one APK that is at fault.
So, please can anyone tell me how to locate the selector.fro file to turn it back to selector.apk? Or can't I do that without unlocking the bootloader first, or is there another solution?
Many thanks in advance,
Graham
Wouldnt it be possible to make a zip of the selector.apk and flash it? Rename the zip-file to "update" (since you're unable to browse to your specific file).

Hi, thanks for the response
Do you mean copy a zip of selector.apk to the SD card and run it from there, same as I did when I rooted? Where can I obtain a copy of that apk from? I can't find it on my computer or via Google...

You can extract it from the ROM's zip file, just locate it as you would on your phone.
But I don't have a ROM zip file. I'm not using a custom ROM, just stock. I may go down the custom ROM route one day, but for now I just want my phone to work again in the quickest way possible.
All I need is a copy of the original stock home selector APK. Can anyone help here please?
Found the file!
Never mind, got the apk from another thread. Flashing tonight...
Hi. I followed the directions off amazon website for manual update but it doesn't work and their instructions are by "corporate standards" lol. I am running 11.3.1.0_user_310084920 and I just downloaded update-kindle-7.4.8_D025_4849020.bin the latest from the amazon website.
Amazons website didn't say anything about a specific folder to put the update into it just said put it into the main drive folder. so I looked it up and there is supposed to be a folder called "kindleupdates" <hopefully case sensitive like this. I just created the folder on the drive and put the .bin into it then i went to the device menu and selected system updates then I click check now cause that is the only option available. after it runs it says last updated failed with a retry button now. when i click the retry button it doesnt work at all just flashes the text of last update failed.
I did this without creating the kindleupdates folder and also with it. nothing happens. and it only wants to connect to wifi if it is disconnected.
adb is working with my device fine if there is anything else i can do. I didn't push the file with adb though, i used gmtp to transfer the file and it is there.
for right this second i am just wanting to get this thing back to full stock since I have it rooted and i have multiple small issues with it like the status bar gone and chaning the build.prop for it doesn't work then work with anything else after since I have uninstalled to many system apps.
i dont have a fastboot cable but i seen and heard from stunts that it may not be needed because of buffer size.
i also unrooted this tablet and factory reset it and all to try the update as well. the root exploit is nice and quick lol
thanks to anyones help
You don't have the right version for your Kf. If you try to flash v7.x.x over your 11.x.x you will brick it.
