Error with OTA FRF50->FRF91 update

Ok, I have a phone with unlocked boot loader and FRF50 on it.
I put the original system recovery on (it had another prior to my ownership), but when the OTA update arrives, I get the following error:
Verifying current system...
assert failed: apply_patch_check("/system/framework/am.jar", "efccd3...:, ea...: )
E: Error in /cache/836691a1ca8b.signed-passion-FRF91-from-FRF50.836691a9.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted...
Any ideas???
Thanks!!!
have you tried doing the line of updates start from frf50 then do frf83 then frf83b then do frf91
No, but based on the error it looks like it was trying to go from FR50 (installed) to FRF91 based on the update file name....
I'm not doing this manually, I'm letting the OTA update take care of it....
Can you point me to the update images? I'd like to get it to do OTA updates again, but if I have to do manual I guess I'll deal with it...
I wonder if it is a problem with the v 2E recovery?
Hey Pete,
I am getting the exact same issue with my nexus over here in Oz. I jumped on the early release and manually installed and now it wont update from frf50-frf91 OTA with the above error.
Very frustrating. I wondered if a wipe data/factory reset then wait for another OTA might work. I am unsure of exactly how much that will affect the phone though. I would rather not lose pictures and movies on the SD card and apps would be a PITA to get back on with my settings.
Maybe the manual updates might be a good place to start.
What version of the recovery do you have on your phone?

I am a bit of a noob Pete when it comes to Android and Nexus. I am not sure on the version or even how to check. Can you give me a hint ??
I have an un-rooted stock phone which I downloaded the FRF 50 update to when it first came out. I have made no other changes to it.
Give me a call centre skills based routing or call recording system and I'm your man, but smart phones are not in my skillset... I am trying to learn though. I just learnt what the ADB is.
you are on stock recovery and rom...and you wont anything in your SD card it doesnt wipe sdcard, only the phone setup, and if you have the backup feature on phoen you wont really lose the apps either
you can always do the #*#CHECKIN#*# on dial pad then go to settings and check for updates to see if you can get the OTA
i did it mainually it i couldnt wait any longer for the OTA.. so its not really hard to do it maunally lol
Even if I do that with my FRF50 phone, it just says success...
It took a week for the OTA update to reattempt an install. (and fail)
I did download a full signed FRF91 which I'm going to try applying soon, I hope after that OTA's will just be automatic...
Fixed at last !!!
I went through this forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=717870
Which took me back to epe76. I then went to frf85b with a link further in the same thread and got an instant OTA update to frf91.
YAY FIXED !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Forgot to post here, I downloaded the complete FRF91 signed and just installed it. Contains everyting including radio.
I don't have the link anymore, but I recall it contained the words, "FRF91", "signed", "passion"....
That should get you there...

[Q] I don't know what to do.

Hello, last night my phone started showing mistakes as "the process com.Google.process.gapps has stopped" or "Google process doesn't answer" without any reason.
I did make a complete wipe through my recovery TWRP (I wouldn't recommend this in base of this experience, CWM is better, really better:crying and it shows "wipe complete" but next to it shows the word "Failed" in red.
- I can turn the phone on sometimes but after the moto boot the screen stays black.
- I installed lollipop again and it says that every process doesn't answer.
- I can't reset the internal memory as I explained before
- I hardly ever used the root with Xposed.
- I have the bootloader unlocked from a while ago.
At least the phone runs the bootloader without problem.
Any solution?
I have never dropped my phone and I have it for months.
P.D. English, is not my native language sorry for the mistakes.
Not sure why it does, but it's been happening to me as well.
Try this:
Go to Settings, Apps, All, and clear data for Downloads. Then disable and enable Downloads. This seems to work.
Try restoring it to kitkat
try this link it works great it will restore your phone to stock kitkat GB version and you can latter update it OTA to lollipop. i have tried it and it works. http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-g-2014/general/windows-tool-moto-g-2014-xt1068-dual-t2983295 as bootloader is working you will be able to restore i think. just download zip file extract it. it contains instructions too.
Thanks for help me, but still not working.
Actually, what I really need is to be able to delete everything in the phone, I can try changing the system date but I cannot delete the data of the phone.

First time custom ROM - I can't get it work

Hello, I've never flashed phones before, so I might have just make some obvious mistake, that I'm not aware of.
After using my XPS 4.3 for over 2 years it started lagging, so I wanted to switch to some custom ROM.
First I wanted to try XperianZe v3.0.5 , but after 2 days of constant fails, anything will do.
First I wanted to root, but Towelroot doesn't work for me (I'm currently staying in China, so I suspect it might be the Great Firewall of China blocking it's connection attempts), but I found another way. I downloaded newest Flashtools (0.9.22.0) and ftf images from the post, but flashtools doesn't see them, so I downloaded an older version of Flashtools (0.9.18.6) and flashed the kernel which made my phone fall into a bootloop. I downloaded whole image C5303_12.0.A.2.254_CE.ftf of stock version 4.1, flashed C530X_12.0.A.1.257 kernel on top of it, and run DooMLoRD script, which gave me root access.
Now I installed CWM from here and copied XperianZeV3.zip to internal storage. I disconnected my phone, entered recovery, factory reseted and chose install from zip. It doesn't matter which recovery I used: CWM Touch/ TWRP/ Philz - all gave the same result:
Code:
set_metadata_recursive: some changes failed
E:Error in /data/media/XperianZeV3.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.
This is latest version of CWM_SP_4.4.1 that I could find.
Unable to bypass this problem I decided to unlock bootloader and while doing so get MoKee Marshmallow 60.1 . But Sony website told me that my particular phone cannot be unlocked. I tried to unlock it anyway, but fastboot doesn't see my device when it eneters flash-boot (and automatically exits after some time). I couldn't install Flashtool drivers, because of some error with no message, it might be because of Windows 10, maybe? Anyway as I understand from this tutorial there's no unofficial way of unlocking my phone.
The only thing that I found about Status 7 problem is to update CWM (but I'm using latest one, aren't I?), tell the cellphone to ignore the problem (but I'm afraid of bricking it). I don't really understand what is this problem related to, other that name change between Kitkat and earlier systems, but I don't know how to make it work.
Am I just doing something wrong?

Noob needs assistance

Ok, so let me start this off by saying I feel kind of dumb right now. I am really new to all this.
I bought a motog5s, and rooted it with super su.
I tried to add a different OS rom (several actually).
I ended up messing up somehow and deleting my backup of the stock rom which I nandroid saved on twrp-3.1.1-sanders.img
I now have a phone with no Operating Sytem. I had twrp-3.1.1-sanders.img and tried to upgrade to twrp-sanders-r2.img which worked but, deleted my backup of stock rom install when i deleted the internal storage like a moron, also didn't help me install a rom w/o error messages so then I upgraded to twrp-sanders-r16.img, which worked also. But now I get error 7 every time I try to install any rom.
Right now my phone has just twrp-sanders-r16.img and no operating system.
How do I resolve the error 7 and error 255(i was getting earlier but now just error 7), and install an operating system? I wanted to get pixel experience working which was what got me all turned around in the first place. I also tried Cosmic, Arrow, AOSPext all of which where in the XDA roms forum(for Moto G5S, Sanders) but kept getting error 255 then I tried to do a fix (deleted assert command from a file in the rom with text editor, but kept saying my ZIP files weren't the proper format, I have ubuntu linux on my computer...which should work) and it stopped giving error 255 and now gives error 7.
I have tried sidebooting, and also many different roms and all give errors. I also had lots of trouble with Open Gapps/larger files/Roms when trying to download on my cpu and then move/copy to my phone's internal storage so I don't know how to resolve that either.
I now want to get a solid rom OS on here ( that's noob friendly) and root with magisk of which i have DL'd 16.0 & Magisk Manager 5.8.3 (last stable release i think)
How do I fix this? Please help!
thank you very much for any help in advance.
First off make sure you have a Moto G5s Plus not the smaller variant. If it's a Plus, than fastboot flash this twrp recovery and try downloading a fresh ROM, gapps, and also Magisk. Flash those guys and you should be good.

Ok I flashed TWRP R20 and it's now on my phone.
I tried flashing Lineage OS, got error 7.
Tried flashing the version of Lineage OS where I deleted the assert code from the beginning of the Updater-Script (which was supposed to fix it.) Instead, I get an error saying it's an improperly formatted zip file.
What solution can I try for resolving this error 7? It happens with every single rom I try.

kinda' haven't rooted except for other ppl much in the past decade, but i just did this phone and from what i understand, first of all flashing magisk on top of supersu seems like a bad idea since they alter complely different directories. pretty sure you'd want to stick with one or the other unless you reverted to stock first. other than that, did you reformat your system partition on the first try? did you wipe before trying other roms?
stuck with same error.
stuck with exact same error 7, did you got any solution, plz send if any, thank you

I had a similar problem. While trying to flash liquid_remix ROM I kept getting error 7. I checked and saw that my system partition was not mounted in TWRP. After mounting it the ROM flashed fine.

Question Problem with System updates after unrooting

Hey there,
almost a year ago i rooted my device, tried it for a bit and then realized that i cant use my creditcard app without doing some weird stuff.
so i decided to unroot. everything worked. Now after a long time i wanted to do a normal system update to MIUI 13, but everytime i try to start the update using the devices updater,
i get a dialog saying something like "You device supports seamless system updates. Remember to select Slot A when you get prompted by TWRP" (roughly translated, its in german). I dont really understand why my device is still knowing that i user twrp, even after i removed it and reflashed the original fastboot thingy. (im not too familiar with all the rooting stuff)
I tried to flash again to twrp from my computer and install the update that way but that comes with its own problems and i would prefer to use the system updater rather than twrp.
Does any one have an idea why i get the meantioned dialog and how i can get rid of it to let it update normally?
I just realized that the updater is downloading a file called "xiaomi.eu_multi_HMK40Pro_Mi11i_V14 ... .zip". that looks like some unofficial rom to me, is it pulling it from somewhere else rather than the official xiamo servers maybe?
im really lost at this point.
sorry for some broken english here and there
it also says something about my system being encrypted and that i need to enter a password which never happens.
If it's fetching Xiaomi.eu rom that means you changed the rom from stock to the custom made EU version. If you did not, that most likely means that your device was originally the China version and the seller installed the EU version to provide you with the Google/Play Services.
In short: You are not using the official stock rom. Please post screenshots from your About Phone.
