Refuses to Update/Upgrade - Motorola Droid Bionic

Phone currently running android 2.3.4, system version 5.9.902.xt875.verizon, rooted, cwm based recovery.
I have 4.8g free on the internal, 1.6 on the SD, and the phone claims it's out of space, not enough space to download update to .905, won't update or install apps. I've removed a couple of apps trying to update them, no luck, and can't reinstall. tried wiping cache, dalvik, removing a bunch of stuff, cleaning app caches manually, and i'm out of ideas.
Help please!

Still inop, still need help.

You need ample room on the external sd for the update to apply. The .ZIP's are heavily compressed and during extraction inflate pretty large. Move your dcim folder or downloads folder elsewhere (such as a computer) and try it again. 1.6gb seems like a lot, but it really isn't.....

Ok, how about help getting back to stock recovery so i can just start over??

Im not sure if possibly the cwm recovery partition is causing a problem. If you download the moto-fastboot.exe file and flash the recovery.img file from a .902 fxz thus removing cwm? Fairly certain that the install verifies partitions including system and recovery. Any real experts want to chime in on this?

After rooting your phone Verizon blocks updates. I had same problem.

Can't update a rooted phone.

When I was on .902 and rooted I was able to ota update to.905 without issue. I might have had to use voodoo root keeper and temp unroot. I can't remember anymore. I'm using safestrap for recovery though. Shouldn't be too tough to unroot and then reroot if that's the real issue. Don't take it from me though I'm kind of a noob. I also read that you have to unfreeze your bloatware if you have anything frozen. Not sure if any of that helps.

When did Verizon start blocking rooted phones? Mine has has been forever rooted since .886, 893, 901, 902, & 905. Can't remember, but either 901 or 902 was leaked, but had installed the next OTA from that leak.
I had to defrost all of my bloatware, but never had an issue with the OTA updates on my rooted Bionic.

Need help: Attempting to restore DLNA/System Service after Uninstalling

Prior to rooting, I reformatted my phone and afterwards I backed up all system apps and bloatware with Titanium Backup Pro. I then uninstalled all bloatware that I knew was safe to uninstall. No problems whatsoever.
However, just to be on the safe side, I decided that I'm going to restore all uninstalled apps, unroot, reset, reroot, and use Pete's script bloatware remover/renamer.
All bloatware has been reinstalled successfully except for DLNA. Whenever I try to restore DLNA or DLNA System Service 1.0, Titanium Backup simply stays on "Restoring App+Data" forever, unless I reboot the phone. I have tried reinstalling DLNA first then I tried reinstalling DLNA System Service first. To no avail. It just gets stuck on "Restoring App+Data."
Any ideas?
Hmm, strange...same thing is now happening with Flickr Authenticator. Perhaps TI is bugging out now. I just don't get it. Really hope to hear some input soon.
i restore all removed apps with this: www.psouza4.com/Droid3
once U download unzip n place in a subfolder named restore
I had a similar thing happen to me when using Titanium, but with different apps. I'm not sure what causes the bug, nor am I certain about how to fix it. It's part of why people have been recommending that we freeze apps as opposed to backing them up (with Titanium) and then deleting them.
However, you can get the apps back by going into the system dump and copying the necessary files back into /system/app. You can find the system dump here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1164736
Just take the DLNA and DlnaSystemService apks and odex files, place them on your SD card, and then copy them over to /system/app using whichever method you prefer (Root Explorer, ADB, etc). Hope this helps

I don't think Psouza's Script can restore apps that are uninstalled. Only if they are renamed or frozen by TI. Please someone chime in and correct me if I'm mistaken.

That's fantastic, thank you my friend.
You are wrong.
When I was updating from 5.5.959 to 5.6.890, one of my apps was gone. Deleted. Idk how, but I searched my system for 10 minutes, it was called Fota.apk
I used psouza4s tools (he helped me) and restored the missing app, and then I got to update to 5.6.890

Uninstalled an app, now get 'insufficient storage available' when i try to re-install

I installed FPSE, and then uninstalled it after having problems, but now I cannot install either the version I downloaded, or the version from the store. Both tell me I have insufficient storage space available, even though I have well over a gig free.
Also I am able to install other things.
Any ideas?

Use some Root Browser to check your system folder to see if you have available storage space. Sometime the old files are not deleted and they fill up the storage space. If this is the case you need to format the system folder before you can install anything.
I had the same problem too,after I uninstalled N.O.V.A. 3 and can't install it back.But other apps has no problem of installing.
SD maid from Playstore might help here^_^.
Contrary to the name, it clears cache and left over data and logs from the phone internal and external memory.

If you have another Android device, you can force the app back on your phone.
1) Install app on other device
2) Make Titanium Backup of app on other device and send it to your phone
3) Open Titanium Backup on phone and go into preferences; change restore location to external storage
4) Restore app backup from other device
5) After restoring app, go into Settings -> Applications and move the app from SD to phone
6) Now app is installed on phone just as if you installed it normally and you can change your Titanium Backup restore location back to default

Try to clear cache and data from the store.
Easy, uninstall the app first, then go /data, search the app name, like "titanium" or the package name, sth like com.xxxxxx.xxx, should have that name.odex or any other, delete it, but make sure its correct name of coz, after u deleted the file in /data, u can install it again
But yea, like the above user say, it usually appear in crack app, if so, do the purchase mate

You must have some leftover file for previous installation, serch and delete of that will allow to install again.
I had this problem the other day trying to install apps with titanium backup and the play store, both were getting this error. I fixed it the same way by going into the data/app folder and deleteing the .odex files in there. I had two in my folder, one was 'com.kermidas.TitaniumBackup-1.odex' and i cant remember what the other one was. I think when an app is uninstalled or modified, it sometimes leaves a .odex residue file which causes the error.
Here is a simple SOLUTION :-
Install lucky patcher now press the menu key
Choose troubleshooting now click on removes fixes and backup now u can install the application

UPDATED CAMERA/gallery zip, How can I flash a zip file

http://www.androidpolice.com/2012/1...gallery-app-with-new-ui-editing-photo-sphere/
camera from the nexus allows spherical photos ...
on my original D1 I used to use clockwork recovery to flash files, What are my options now? I don't have safestrap installed just a rooted OTA updated droid.
Boot into safestrap after you download file and just install to whichever rom slot you are using. It works by the way, I just flashed it and have been playing with it. Kinda cool
Edit: can't seem to get the spherical effect to align
Sent from my XT894 using xda premium
no no, I DON'T have safestrap installed...how can I just manually flash a file?
To my knowledge, you need to have some sort of recovery installed to flash a .zip.
You could literally install SS3, run it and install recovery, boot into recovery, flash your .zip, reboot, remove recovery, uninstall safestrap.
Okay i installed it then booted into it but it won't let me install...do I have to mount my system or something?

Shouldn't have to mount anything. But hey, now that you got SS3 installed, you can install ROMs and not risk hosing your phone.
Maybe it's SS3 blocking installation of ZIPs to the primary system slot?
(anyone wanna chime in? i don't really mess with my stock system slot..)
I should ask, were you able to locate the .ZIP through the SS3 file browser? If not, look in the other SD folder.

I know the older versions of safestrap blocked flashing zips to the safe (stock) system. Makes sense that ss3 would work the same way. If you really like stock but want to be able to mod it you can always flash one of myfishbears stock roms to another ROM slot and mess with that.

flashed the 4.2 camera app. went to the front facing camera, it crashed the app. and since it remembers which camera you left off on, i'm now forced to reflash the zip. just a warning
Damn...I didn't really want to install a second ROM...my phone is virtually full as it is and i have a 32gb-ext sdcard....is there any other way? Ss3 won't even let me browse for the files on stock ROM....****ING LOCKED BOOTLOADERS!!! Could one of you guys backup the new gallery/camera/picture editor with titanium and post the apks? Would that work??

Open the zip file and take the libs and apks push them to your phone with adb.

Here is a set of instructions posted by P3Droid for installing the 4.2 camera libs and apks.

http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390135922294523570 is a mirror I guess, it is saying that the file is 7. something mb where the one I originally downloaded is around 9mb... if you send me your email I can just email the original because 4shared apparently doesn't work anymore.
Also if I install this and my camera ****s up, what are my options to re install the original camera/gallery app? why can't I just install alongside?
edit if I were to just push the gallerygoogle.apk to apps instead of system apps wouldn't that be safer?

okay so I unzipped the file, found the .so files and the apk, then I put them on my sd card, mounted my /system/lib as RW , moved the .so files to there, then mounted /system/app as RW and copied the apk there, and restarted. opened up build-prop and changed the 2 lines saved. then looked for the new 'googlegallery' ...it wasn't there, so I went into /system/app/ and when I selected it it gave me the option to install..so I did...it went through the process and at the end said it wasn't installed....

2 Bizarre issues

I have 2 issues that are really starting to tick me off. At first they were just an annoyance, but now... GRRR!!!
1st issue:
Randomly, my D3 will just reboot, and it goes to ROM Manager's Recovery and stays there until I do something. So if this happens at say 3AM, I don't have an alarm clock any more as I get a list to Reboot, Backup/Restore, Update from ZIP, etc.
2nd issue:
Everytime the phone reboots, the same 32 apps are uninstalled. No, not just missing the icon, COMPLETELY uninstalled as reloading the Homescreen DOES NOT load the applications, they are still uninstalled. It also refreezes an app I have to keep unfreezing. Some of the apps are installed to the phone, some are moved off the phone to the media area, some contain no extra data/download.
Things I've tried:
1. Mounting system as RW, reinstalling them all, and rebooting, no luck.
2. Mount system partition, used Permissions Pro to reset all permissions (I don't like some games having to load at boot, I think it's stupid, so I denied them that) and performed step 1 again, no luck.
3. Used ROM Toolbox Pro to fix permissions, and performed step 1 again, no luck.
4. Moved the apps that were in the media area back to the phone, back to the media area, and back to the phone, no luck.
5. Reinstalling and unfreezing and rebooting without doing anything special, no luck.
6. Yelling and screaming at it, as well as threaten it's life, no luck.
7. Begged it to behave, no luck.
Droid 3, Rooted, ROM Manager (with ClockworkMod Recovery), Titanium Backup, a few of the VZW bloatware removed.
I'm willing to do a factory reset, but will I have to re-root? I don't mind losing ClockworkMod Recovery if needed, as I want to safestrap it anyways. I have searched many forums over and over, includling those not for Droid 3 devices, but they all have to do with the app appearing uninstalled, not actually being removed off the phone.
Thanks greatly.
I'm pretty sure you should NOT use rom manager on you d3 to flash anything. Sounds like it might be time to sbf back to stock, reroot and start fresh with safestrap.

Stock ROM.
if you made changes to settings, removed apks, device is not completely stock anymore
you should restore any stock apps you removed, best way to remove unwanted apps is to freeze with titanium backup pro, and unfreeze if needed
if you can not restore all stock app, made changes to settings, or still doesn't work
flash .xml recovery image, just use correct one, for your device and system version
menu/ system settings/about phone/ system version
if 5.6.890.XT862 use .5.6.890.XT862.xml and rsd lite
if 5.7.906.XT862 use .906 1-click-sbf.exe + tools [10-8-2012]

they are similar, with safestap you leave stock rom, custom roms are install differently so you can switch back and forth between reboots
---------- Post added at 02:27 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:22 PM ----------
also ovelayer doesn't cover, wiping data
if phone bootloops, after flashing sbf, try wiping cache in android recovery
Android system recovery <3a>
with device off
hold X & power, when you see triangle, !, & Andy, press both volume buttons
if phone still bootloops go back to android recovery, and wipe data
or save sometime, and wipe data before flashing sbf
So, I did the whole 1-click-sbf thing, activated the phone, didn't install anything yet, but I did update all the system apps (GMail app, Play Store, etc) and everything was good. I also restored my text messages and call history.
I rooted the phone just fine as well.
Then I started to download and install some apps by using the market not my Titanium Backups.
Moved the ones to the Media Area that didn't automatically move.
Rebooted again, and some apps are uninstalled again, but this time, all of them are ones that were moved to SD card, but not all SD moved apps got uninstalled.
So, what I decided to do, is reinstall the missing apps and keep them on the phone to see what happens. The ones that were uninstalling are now staying installed, however, now some that never uninstalled (that are on the SD) are uninstalling themselves. GRR!
So, the last thing I tried is to now reinstall the uninstalled apps, move them back to the phone, and reboot to see what happens now... I finally got around to finishing up this and after this last reboot, NEW applications that never got uninstalled are now uninstalled.
Time for new phone perhaps?

Sent from my DROID3 using xda premium
Since the topic of this thread isn't about TiBu, let's go back to the original topic....
I got tired of the issue and random apps unintalling, so I removed my external MicroSD, did a factory reset (which didn't un-root, therefore, I didn't have to re-root), formatted the internal SD (Media Area) and went through the setup again, I didn't have to activate again though. I updated all system apps, rebooted. All OK. Installed a few apps, reboot, OK. Moved what I could to the SD, and reboot, all OK. Installed about 20 other apps and reboot, all still OK. Moved what I could to SD, and reboot. 1 app uninstalled itself. Completely removed from applications and reboot. All ok, no further apps uninstalled. Installed about 20 more apps, reboot and all is ok, moved over what I could to media area (internal SD) and reboot. 2 apps were uninstalled, both moved to media area and neither one part of the original 32. Uninstalled both from the applications setting and rebooted. 4 more apps uninstalled, none part of the original 32.
I'm at a loss here...
Does TEC from VZW cover this type of issue? I can un-root the phone and they'd be none the wiser.

Moving apps to the "media area" is a kludge at best and I avoid it. Every once in a while I check settings->applications to see if any apps snuck their way there, and I move all of them back to internal.
So I wiped the phone again, repeated the whole 1-click file thingy as last time, seems to be going rather smooth this time around. While poking around, I noticed a built-in (and probably bloatware) application not installed. I tried to google it to see what it does, but nothing is really all that clear. The package is called 'com.verizon.permissions.appdirectedsms' and I found it missing through TiBu. However, SMS works just fine.
Anyone able to advise what the package does, or did? I haven't updated to 906 yet, so perhaps it's something new with that and that's why it's missing? Guess I should update first shouldn't I? Ok, I will. I'll update when it's done.
Many, many thanks to all of you!
what do you mean not installed, if its in the system apps folder its installed
not all system apks show up in apps drawer
and titanium may have a different name for it

[Q] Something wrong with Play Store or my phone?

Hey guys, I have a problem with installing apps on my LG (market and non-market ones).
It basically says when I install them that I have INSUFFICIENT STORAGE AVAILABLE (error); with non-market apps the same and that I need to remove some apps.
I have 6.43GB of Internal Memory left, and 19.6GB of External Memory. It's very strange because I CAN download some apps (even bigger than the one that I can't), but other ones got that error.
Have any ideas? Maybe someone with the same problem?
p.s. I have no ROM installed; I rooted it 2 months ago..

cuz lucky patcher is the issue actually, patches that it had done.
when it patches the app, it creates patched .odex, which you need to manually delete when you update/reinstall the app. i had the same issue, but unfortunately i lost track of the thread with the fix. if i find it again, i'll post it.
edit:
try this: "Troubleshooting->Remove fixes and backups (to update app)" in lucky patcher.
i manually removed these .odexes, but this should work too. good luck.

found the manual solution: http://kacnje.blogspot.com/2012/10/android-error-insufficient-free-space.html
sretno!
Just launch Lucky Patcher, the program will delete those files automatically. It works for me.

I did something wrong because when I searched for ".odex" files in Root Explorer and deleted them, now all my system apps stopped working.. i guess there were some of these files that I shouldn't had deleted? I'm confused

****, you weren't supposed to delete all of them, just the one from the app that wasn't installing. you need those other .odex files for system to function properly ><. do you have any backup at all? if not, you'll probably need to flash kdz file again (good news is, i don't think you'll lose any of the data or settings).

Just search for it in the General section, I bet you will find what you need.
Shouldn't missing .odex files be rebuilt automatically on reboot? At least that's what's happening after a factory reset (which, amongst others, also deletes al .odex files), and after a wipe of the Dalvik cache (which does exactly that: delete all .odex files).
Being stuck at boot, as you write, try this:
Boot into recovery
Select to "Wipe Dalvik Cache"
Reboot
After the next boot, the entire Dalvik cache should be rebuilt. Of course this requires a custom recovery to be installed (stock recovery doesn't offer to "wipe dalvik cache"; here you had to do a factory-reset, which would also delete all your apps and data).
I used this method:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2069723&highlight=flash+kdz+files
so I updated my firmware and now have 4.1.2 JB and everything works fine :victory:
thanks for helping! :good::good:
I wish there were some such flashing tools available for the P880 on Linux. But as much as I've google'd around, I could not find anything. Anybody tried the toolkit available here on XDA for the P990? Can it be used for the P880 as well?
