Update failed.

Okay so I downloaded the ota and install it. When the phone boots back up it just says update failed. I am rooted, but that is it. Any suggestions? I tried twice.

My phone booted up, but once bored it gabe me the error. Perhaps when I tried to unroot I messed something up. I deleted some of the sd card files associated with the root

I'm in the same boat.
I used one-click to unroot and it said it was successful but Titanium Backup was still able to get root rights. Not sure what to do here.

When ever in doubt, SBF - Back to stock 2.1
WARNING: ONCE YOU APPLY OFFICIAL FROYO 2.2 YOU CAN'T USE THIS METHOD ANYMORE

Thanks for the reply dr. I rooted but stuck with 2.1. Would that method do anything for me?

Using Bootstrap? If so, delete /system/bin/logwrapper then rename logwrapper.bin to logwrapper. I did this and it worked.

I was not using Bootstrap.
Currently attempting to fix this by reinstalling all of the bloatware that I uninstalled (per this: droidxforums.com/forum/froyo-2-2-news-rumors-wishes/7471-froyo-2-2-ota-install-issues.html).
I thought I had backed up the apps before uninstalling them with Titanium Backup but I was unable to restore them and it seems that it only backed up the application data and not the applications themselves before uninstalling. Funsies. That was an unroot, re-root, unroot, re-root carousel that I never want to go on again.
So... I went here (chadhaney.com/droidXDefault/516/) and downloaded all of the apps that I uninstalled, put them onto my SD card and then used Root Explorer to paste them into the system\app folder because I'm not so good with the command prompt stuff that you all use (if you do use this method, make sure to click "Mount R/W" at the top to get into read/write mode otherwise you can't paste into the system folder... took me way too long to figure out).
I've manually installed all of the apps while the OTA downloads (for some reason no 3G at the office) and will report back once it's finished and I have either Froyo, another failed attempt or a bricked phone. Exciting, no?

More fail. Will update with any useful information.

Yea i can't install it either

I just wanted to say that this worked perfectly for me. Thank you so much.

Looks like I installed the wrong versions of the stock apks (516) and using the right version (604) did the trick.

[Q] I'm so very confused.

Alright, So I recently just moved from an Evo to the epic. And I'm glad I did. The evo was great, But I missed having a keyboard and the epic hasn't dissapointed.
I have a couple questions though,
Rooting on the evo was super easy, I'm still confused on how to use the one click root for epic. People are saying it doesn't work? And I read on some website if you just want to change roms and change kernals just to flash a custom recovery onto it and don't root, because rooting will only let you get root-only apps.
Please? Explain on how to root with the one click root method because I'm Completely lost on how to do this for the epic 0_o

The one click root does work. I followed the instructions and my phone is rooted. I'm new to android and to rooting but not new to modding phones/computers/software. After rooting you can still download none root apps in addition to root apps. From what I've seen most of the rooting issues come from people not following the instructions or not truely understanding them. I haven't flashed to a new rom yet. I'm waiting on froyo. So I can't say for sure but its my understanding that you have to have root premissions to flash a custom rom.

As far as how to root with the one click root I installed the samsung usb drivers for my operating system (win 7 64bit) Note: after reading several posts the driver installation takes a little bit. Click on the installing drivers message to bring up the install window. I let the installtion run for almost 15 minuted and it still gave me an error but after turning on usb debbuging on phone connecting with usb, mounting sd card, and running the one click root my phone restarted and I was rooted. If you search other posts you'll find more detailed instructions.

Correction. You don't have to root to flash a rom I don't know what I was thinking when I typed that. All you need is clockwork recovery.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App

The only problem you'll encounter, if any at all, with rooting is with driver installation. If u follow the guides tho and don't try to experiment, u shud be good to go. These roots are one click as well as it involves running a simple bat file. Some phones are more finnicky than others, but they shud give u no trouble if u know what ur doing. Good luck.
And yes, the keyboard on this rules

OCLF Problems on Froyo

I've tried to do some searching on here about RyanZA's OCLF app. i recently updated to the official froyo update and seem to have problems with the lag fix when trying to install it. It says it fails but i still see an increase in quadrant, but not the 2100-2200 i was seeing with 2.1.
Anyone else having this issue? Any help is appreciated. thanks
BTW i do mean i can't find anything regarding the OFFICIAL froyo update and oclf

Stop using OCFL .. there is a better solution, Voodoo. You should be able to get KA6 and KA7 kernel that includes voodoo, just search the development section. Voodoo is much better and cleaner solution, even Nexus S using the same filesystem (ext4).

I dont know anything about voodoo. Im still pretty much a noob when it comes to rooting. I did oclf because ot was easy. How do I go about usimg voodoo?

The man knows what he's talking about. Drop OCLF in my opinion. Search the Android dev section for Scrizz's thread with kernels and modems and flash one with voodoo. Use 3 button recovery to get red recovery and simply go to advanced menu and enable. Sit back and relax while Linda does her thing. Give her about 10 minutes. BOOM!

I dont doubt he does, ill have to look into it, but I have no idea how to flash anything, if you know what thread could help me can you ink it? I did a search for voodoo and haven't really found much yet.

OCLF 2.0 works, but the OS doesn't "think" it works. The speeds are increased something terrible, but still nothing like the 2000+ scores from OCLF in 2.1. Voodoo is a very clean lagfix.
Go on over to the development section and look at most of the roms, you can download Voodoo.

Voodoo isn't a lagfix, it's a file system conversion. It just happens to get rid of lag because it's a better file system.

Isn't that the same as OCLF except that made a ext2 file system? What is a true lagfix then?

It's just splitting hairs at this point. "Lagfix" is a loose term thrown around just as "brick".
OCLF converts rfs to ext2. Whereas voodoo converts to ext4.

unless it's been changed, the oclf just creates an ext2 file in the data partition which was then used as a buffer for writing. voodoo converts the entire data and system partitions to ext4. so the oclf was a temp fix/workaround while voodoo is a solution because it gets rid of rfs, and now with voodoo enabled roms, you don't have to disable/reenable voodoo, you just flash the new rom with voodoo enabled.

I've tried using cwm to flash the voodoo modem/kernals but i can't seem to get in to work. i'm sure i'm doing something wrong. like i said i don't really know much about this stuff.
i open rom manager, go to install rom, go to external sd card, then the voodoouvka6 modemupdate.zip
i reboot to complete installation, then what should i do? if i go to reinstall packages it fails. and if i just reboot it doesn't seem to do anything. i tried to do ka7 before and didn't see anything change, now i'm trying ka6.

Okay... I'm on my computer now so I can do a little more for you.
Go here...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=870480
Since you are on the official, download the KA6 kernel that is .zip and flash like anything else through clockworkmod.
Next, you have to reboot into recovery. (Do not use rom manager. Power off the phone and hold volume up + volume down buttons and power on the phone.)
You should be in recovery now, but it will have red text and an additional selection at the bottom labeled voodooo.
Select voodoo and select enable voodoo. This will turn voodoo on the next reboot.
Reboot now and wait for Linda to tell you that the lagfix is enabled. It will take about 10 minutes. Be patient and don't touch the phone while she is working.
BOOM!

See my problem is I dont know how to flash. I downloaded rom manager and it installed cloclworkmod recovery. Is that the same thing I need?

Ohhh... okay, yeah. Open Rom manager and flash clockworkmod... select vibrant.
Download the kernel from the link in my last post. Place the .zip you downloaded on the root of internal memory (the 14gb one). Root meaning not in any folders.
Now open Rom manager again and reboot into recovery. It may ask you to reinstall packages, do so if prompted.
Once in clockworkmod recovery (should be a green menu), select "install zip from SD".
Select the .zip kernel you downloaded and it will ask you one more time are you sure. Do it.
BOOM!
Then follow steps from my last post for voodoo.

Bad package, or bad download.

Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App

If you were rooted before the update, you aren't rooted anymore. I think people are using superoneclick now on the official update. I think, but I am not sure. Try that, then go back to the steps already posted. If I come across what people are using now I will post the link.
Edit... use this. It's superoneclick

I don't use OCLF and don' know what version your running it was more generalized. If you flash something its in a package and that package has to be signed. If it's a pretty trustworthy source then most signs point to bad download. Which usually doesn't happen on the same file multiple times unless the source is corrupt or unsigned in this case.
Then their are the other issues such as maybe your phone just doesn't like this file and won't install it. I've had a guy try multiple times to install my theme, even got it to install on his sons phone and regardless of my attempts to upload different ways it just wasn't meant to be.
My obvious advice would be to drop the OCLF attempt because its just an inflated quadrant score, and potentially corrupt files awaiting you. Most of the roms now use voodoo and theirs voodoo kernels floating around. Not to mention the ease of voodoo in these new roms it's reallly a no brainer. Nero comes with voodoo activated and you don't have to rename a file or do anything but go through the menu in cwm to turn it off or on. You can even flash between Axura and Nero now without disabling Voodoo. It's pretty much the new standard.

Ive already done that.

[Q] needs alittle help with root

So I picked up an ATT Atrix 4g the other day and I love it! Last cell's were a BlackBerry and before that an iPhone. Android OS blows those away. So I am the tinkering type and want to root and use custom ROM (greyblur). Currently I am upto date (version 4.1.83). From what I read here, I need to flash back to 1.26 via this guide (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=991072). Installed RSDlite, passworded file, removed sim card, memory card, booted with RSD support, opened RSDlite, selected file (extracted to c:\GladRoot...also tried directly into c, Start. Created the image, it rebooted my atrix, and then the Status threw this message:
"Failed flashing process. failed flashing process. Phone did not re-enumerate after RAM-downloader was sent. (0x703E); phone disconnected.
Progress: Exectuded 100%
Result: FAIL
So was am I missing here? I am on version 4.1.83, but there is reference to 1.2.6 and 1.5.2...I assume these numbers are the firmware revision/version? So as I take it I need to "downgrade" from 4.1.83 to 1.26....? I am kinda lost here. Any help in the right direction would be great.

Look here to root your Atrix http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1016060

1) Where can I verify that I am on 1.2.6 on my Atrix?
2) I ran the gladroot.bat as admin (win7 user) and got:
waiting for root access to kick in...
psneuter failed to execute properly
I extracted gladroot to c:\gladroot
Any thoughts?

Did you try to use Gingerbreak?
This is really easy, i got no problem with that...
Also, I think you need to install motorola usb windows driver to use rsdlite...

No I didnt try gingerbreak.
I do have the Moto USB drivers installed.

Settings>about phone>build number
Will show if you are on 4.1.26
When it comes to the psneuter fail, I had an issue with that too I believe. Try battery pull/restart. Make sure phone is fully charged. Make sure to right click and run it as admin. Other then that, I don't know what else to suggest.
Edit: if you have any system apps frozen with titanium backup, try unfreezing them and also make sure you have the home motoblur launcher unfrozen if you are flashing an sbf.

So what does this really mean? I used gingerbreak after superoneclick hung on psneuter. Phone rebooted after gingerbreak, but superuser app was nowhwere to be seen. I got cold feet and did a factory reset thinking this was all I needed to undo what gingerbreak (and superioneclick?) did. EasyTether now hangs when disabling to I think something is broken.

using gingerbreak to root is real simple I can't post a URL, but briefmobile has instructions on how to do so using gingerbreak. briefmobile.com/motorola-atrix-4g-root

Gingerbreak and Gladroot are equally good. Some don't like Gingerbreak as it can wipe internal sdcard.

[Q] Tried everything. Cannot reroot!

So I bricked my phone. This time couldn't recover. Warranty replaced it, got my replacement the next day. I've never had a problem rooting before, but this time I can't seem to get anything to work. I'm wondering if they sent me a phone with some type of root protection, if that's even possible. Please help, this really sucks. Tried Superoneclick repeatedly, different versions. Univ Androot doesn't support Sammies (at least not ours). Z4Root doesn't work. Tried Oclf and in the recovery menu I get E:signature verification failed Installation aborted. What do I do?

Last resort (well, actually first resort too): flash adrynalyne's clean rom... That has root built in...
of course you need cwm working to do so....

Hmmm
Ok, I have only previously installed CWmod (once rooted) via Rom manager. Now, not having root, I dl'd cwmod_v08 and dropped the recovery and update.zip on my sdcard. I reboot, holding volume up/volume down. I select apply sdcard:update.zip, and I'm still getting a signature verification error, just like I got when I attempted this via OCLF. I read online that it is a problem with Android System Recovery <3e>, and to revert to 2e to remove the signature verification, but I already show 2e. WTF? I'm about to retrieve my hammer and root this piece Thor-style!

Haven't used Odin, but I guess it's time...

First off, lol @ the Thor thing.. haha
Second, yeah it is definitely time... just make sure you are flashing just the adryn_cwm_recovery4 ( something like that) file in the guide in this thread xP
And make sure you use pda, not phone....
If you still can't get it working, just ask here....
