Phone reboots during JB update at 28%, then update restarts at 0% - Motorola Droid 4

Hi all
My Droid 4 starts downloading updates automatically as soon as I connect to a WiFi network
But when the update reaches 28%, the phone hangs, reboots, then update starts from 0% all over again, reaches 28%, reboots... & so on.
I'm not in the US, & so not using Verizon network & dont have an account. And I cant use mobile data here, so basically there is noway that I can use the internet with my phone, because its just consumption of bandwidth & allowance for nothing.
Please give me a way to either stop updates or a solution so the phone doesn't reboot during up update.
Rooted Droid 4
ROM : Stock
Android: 4.0.4
Build: 6.7.2-180_DR4_M2-37
Kernel: 3.0.8-gdde05fe

if rooted you can stop updates by
Rename /system/app/BlurUpdater_VZW.apk to BlurUpdater_VZW.apk.bak.
Rename /system/app/BlurUpdater_VZW.odex to
BlurUpdater_VZW.odex.bak.
rename FOTA.apk and odex
reboot, wipe cache
or you can download update.zip from my list

FYI, there's an error in your steps under Powerboost. The folder should be renamed to "UNL3ASH3D" (no quotes), not "Unl3ashed".

In the meantime, i am using contact vibrate... it is kinda neat. You can create custom patterns and change per contact and scenario.
That at least until we take a look at v1.6 and hope it resolves your issue.

I installed a different texting app and still no pics.
Well after many wipes/formats and every thing else I finally have everything working.
I can verify that multiple cache wipes, dalvik wipes and system formats do the job.
I'm not sure exactly how many I done but it was a lot.
I just sit there and wiped, formatted, wipe, format, wipe, format so on and so on and it finally took, I even installed 3 times over and over each other.
The ROM works great.
All the phones might have the same parts and look the same, but for some reason they don't act the same.

[guide] rooting stock 902 with safestrap recovery

this needs to be stickied or at least intergrated into tucks instructions i am going to copy and paste instruction that insanemod gave me that worked like a charm so i take no credit just figured it might be useful to someone...
First off.. run the root script here http://vulnfactory.org/blog/2012/02/11/rooting-the-droid-4-a-failed-bounty-experiment/
Make sure you have some significant memory left in INTERNAL SDCARD(2 or 3 gigs is fine)
Once rooted install Bionic Safestrap
Link: http://db.tt/D624eHLF
Open Safestrap and click install recovery
Grab the ICS Rom
Link: http://db.tt/k8PmOIyn
Put the Rom on your external sd card
Next grab google apps here http://rootzwiki.com/topic/17726-romalpha-ics4bionic-59902-version-alpha-02-10-2012/
Reboot Phone
When it boots up you'll get a different looking screen tap the menu button( you got 10 seconds or it'll boot up regularly) Menu button(far left)
Scroll down to "safe boot menu" using the volume down button and select with power botton
Select Toggle Safe System
Enable Safe System
Might take awhile don't freak out
Go Back
Wipe Data/Factory Reset
Will take awhile don't freak out
Wipe Cache
Wipe Cache Partition
Advanced/Wipe Dalvik Cache
Go Back to Main SafeStrap Menu
Install zip from sd card
Choose zip from sdcard/External SD Card
And the Rom will be near the bottom labeled
"902-ICS-4.0.3_r1-cm_targa-2012-02-09-04_08"
*note* something i experienced when flashing this rom was it was giving me corrupt file or incomplete or something so what i did was delete it and redownload and trasfer the file directly from download location don't transfer to desktop etc... i believe it was a md5 mismatch and after i tried again it worked great...
don't forget to thank and donate to anyone deserving of it again i take no credit for the exploit or the guide just passing it on.. if i missed something please let me know..

Happy to integrate this into my guide, but except for the inclusion of the alpha build of ics (which imo isn't ready for noobs due to lack of camera etc) I don't see what's different.
thanks tuck wasn't neccarily for ics but for all roms being a noob to locked boot loaders thought insanemod made this useful as is your thread there was so much stuff in your I got a bit lost just thought this was simple and straight forward which is why I used this method instead of yours

Remove rogers apps and apn from V20C

I wrote this up to remove all the Rogers software, boot image and APNs
To use this you first need to flash the Rogers V20C firmware and root it, you don’t need to install Clockwork but I would suggest doing this and also performing a backup before running this.
Procedure
Make sure you have the latest LG drivers
Make sure you have USB Debugging turned on
Extract files to a folder
Run the batch file run.bat
Pick what you want to remove
Select 4 from the batch file to exit as this will reboot your phone which is required
After the phone is rebooted go to you APN list and select the “Reset to default”, it could take a few minutes for the reset to complete.
You will notice that the icon for data would will change from 4g to represent the true data connection. If you are unsure about this try a data speed check before running this patch and after.
The batch file is easy to follow so have a read and see what it is doing, you
might find you only want it to do only certain parts.
Any issues just re-flash or restore you backup.
Link to files: http://www.mediafire.com/?o8beibt207og33r
Please note there is an issue with setting your time if you have the "Use network-provided value", this causes a force close if you try to set the time. If you don't have this set then the force close doesn't occur. Quick update on this, it is the section that pushs the VPN, if you don't run this then you won't get this bug. After looking at the logs they are pointing to the Manifest.xml file but as I've never had an issue like this before it will take some time to repair.
Works. Perfect.
Default is the Rogers apn right. Or did your bat file change that? Just wondering. I have att us and never could get consistent data speeds.

, corret. In the batch file the flexprovider.apk, apns-conf.xml and flex.xml files all are replaced.
If you still have bad speeds after replacing these you could manually alter the flex.xml file to provide the carrier etc. there

Let me know how you get on akwhite23, as I just tried a quick test of taking these files from the stock ATT 2.2 rom, I had to manually add my local APN but it got the H+ and I was able to use data.
Maybe another option if your data is unstable??
Anyone know how to remove or change the rogers shutdown animation
Sent from my LG-P925g using xda premium
You will need to edit Poweroff.apk,or use the tool in this thread
How about if someone were to pull the poweroff.apk from a diff rom and installing it
Sent from my LG-P925g using xda premium
This is a great tool but it would be nice if you gave us options as to what we wanted to delete from this rom.
Confirmed just copying and replacing the Poweroff.apk from another rom works just set permissions reboot and good to go thanks for the advice

The file you run is a batch file, just use a text editor and "rem" the lines you don't wont. I have tried to break the batch file up into logical chunks.
If really needed I can add Press 1 for this, Press 2 for this etc.
Lets see what I people want.
Also
Yes to the Roggers shutdown image is in the Poweroff.apk, if you just replace it with another rom you might not get any logo when shutting down, if that is the case has a look at the script as if will show you where to place the shutdown images.
Thanks for the reply and yes using the options of yes or no or 1 or 2 would be great this way people in my opinion would have and enjoy more control over there phone. Again great script.
Sent from my LG-P925g using xda premium
Thanks for this package. Ran as stated and works perfectly. Many, many thanks!
Script has been changed to allow users to pick what they would like to remove
*Remove Rogger preloaded applications
*APN to Generic
*Remove Roggers start up and shutdown logo
Enjoy
Great job thanks.

I have noticed that after using this, alot of apps in the market will no longer download due to incompatibility issues that were not there before. Apps such as Rom Toolbox, Advanced Task Killer and many more. I have reflashed and done this process twice to test and confirm. Removing the Rogers apps with this process seems to have caused a break somewhere.

rebel1699, unsure what is happening as I have just tested the applciations in your post and they work fine for me???? This is the procedure I used on my phone to flash
Using LG flash software Flashed V20C
I then flash the V20C
booted up the rom applyed Dan root application
Applied CWM
Next I went into CWM and wiped data / factory & wipe cache Partition
I then booted up the phone and applied by script.
Up to now I hadn't signed in the market place.
A think the problem could be some bad data in your market place, could you try this for me
Under Manage Applications could you
find Market and Force Stop, Clear Data and Clear Cache
find google Services Framework and Force Stop, Clear Data
If this has work you should get a server error if you try to access the Market Place. Reset your phone and the market should come back.
Let me know how this goes
Markyzz
No it isn't a good idea to copy the phone.apk and contacts
Ok I have one problem after I do the match my time changes and then I go to settings and try and change it and it force closes

It downloads to the /cache directory on the root not in any folder. There will be 2 files, the update itself and a .crc file with the same name. You must be rooted to access the /cache directory with a file explorer and remember to select to run it later after downloading. The /cache directory is always wiped by the update after it flashes, so you must get the file first before allowing it to run or it will be deleted.
It does not give the option to install later. I can see it in /cache while it is downloading but when it is done it tries to install and says "could not validate package" then the file disappears from /cache.
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using XDA
From what I read on Droid Hive, it's a useless file - an engineering build that no one can use or install.
This is an Engineering Build of .902. This file is of no use to anyone unless they are running pure stock 902.
The way the file is named and signed this is just a testing version.
I FXZ'd to .902, rooted using Motofail, installed cheesecakev2.apk, downloading it now. It does say "GB to ICS" and "Targa"..why would they name it that if it was really just a maintenance build?
I'll let you know if I can get it installed automatically, stock recovery, rsd lite, or otherwise.
Photo attached for anyone curious.
Or motoflashboot.
I'm really anxious to see how this pans out. I need to get to bed instead of watching this thread and prepping to fxz to 902

[Q] Help dearly needed! (wipe issues)

dumb enough i've managed to wipe everything off my phone with twrp (wipe>advanced>checked everything) than I installed (or better said tried to install KK4.4.2 + gapps<<previously on JB3.4.6) worked fine until I booted up...

Have you tried any other 4.4.2 Roms
Sent from i9001
. Hey there, what rom are you using? The FC of the setup wizard can be solved like this:
1. Download cmaccount.apk
2. Insert cmaccount.apk in the zip file of the room you want to install. Exactly in the system /app folder
3. Now flash the modified zip and everything should be OK. Here is the apk link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=2551516&d=1391208123
