I received 2 updates from google today installed the first one and all was well and the second one the update hung on the triangle and exclamation mark. I am not sure what to do. Any and all help is very much appreciated. I am rooted but on the stock last updated rom. I had flashed clockworkmode recovery. Since the first update of the two went well I just figured the second was a slam dunk. Boy was I wrong. How do I go about flashing back to clockworkmode recovery.?
Edit: Pulled battery and hit power button and the device booted back up to frf91 and not frd83d I am still rooted and cannot understand what just happened. I installed the first of two updates that were required and the second hung up and Now it shows me with system up to date. Do I have to flash to stock? I thought I was on stock as it was a manual install of an OTA The only thing i have done is root it with the one click root and flash clockworkmode recovery. No custom roms or anything of that nature. Am I not able to update to Gingerbread now when it comes out? Any help?/Please!!
I had the same thing happen to me about an hour ago. Any one have any info on this?

Are you rooted and have flashed clockworkmode recovery? did the first update seem to install in an odd way but it finished and rebooted back up okay?
i had the same problem happen but it simply hung there with the exlamatiom mark, so i pressed Power + Volume up and this is what was displayed in the recovery:
(this was actually copied from my second retry with a manual install but i'm sure the error was mostly the same)

(but the link seems to be dead) and installed it with Rom manager using the clockwork recovery later i used the Flash_image method to reinstall stock recovery but i have a feeling something isn't right... any help??
thx in advance

The update in conventional zip format, with root options is here!
P
Works mint! I was running Modoco 1.3 ROM, heres the steps I performed:
recovery install: update-nexusone-ERE27-signed.zip
recovery install: update-nexusone-radio-32.24.00.22U_4.03.00.21_2-signed.zip
./fastboot-linux boot boot.ERE27.superboot.img
./fastboot-linux flash zimage zImage-2.6.29.6
./adb remount
./adb push bcm4329.ko /system/lib/modules/bcm4329.ko
Can I flash this manually WITHOUT being rooted?
I posted a thread on updating without root: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=627533
Modaco's page confused me a little.
Does the "Main update" include the radio update, or did he split that off and they're completely separate?
Can the main update be installed using a rooted, but stock, rom and recovery?
In other words, if I just want exactly what the OTA would give me, on my rooted (by superboot) but stock N1, what do I need to do?
Thanks!
I'm completely stock rom / not rooted and I just did this:

1. Get the update from Google: http://android.clients.google.com/updates/passion/signed-passion-ERE27-from-ERD79.a487b405.zip
2. Put the update on your SD card & rename it to update.zip
3. Boot in recovery mode (hold down trackball + power)
4. Go to bootloader -> recovery
5. Now there's a picture of a droid with a triangle
6. Press the power button + volume up
7. Apply sdcard:update.zip
8. Updating
9. Reboot system now
10. Enjoy the multitouch

Worked great.
Thanks Paul. That's what I first tried, and it failed. I posted the details here, but haven't heard anything back yet.

I'm in the same exact boat as you. I rooted my phone last week because i was eager to get multitouch working, so i followed this tutorial:
theunlockr[dot]com/2010/01/21/how-to-enable-multitouch-browsing-on-your-nexus-one-using-the-native-browser/
So now when i try to apply the OTA update manually in recovery mode i get:
Code:
E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command
-- Install from sdcard...
Finding update package...

E:Error in /sdcard/update.zip

Does anyone know what i can do to get this OTA up and running? Im rooted but i havent flashed any custom roms or recoveries either.
This is my first android phone so i'm a bit of a noob and new to the scene. Any help would be greatly appreciated

check that guide out, it was simple and easy to follow...
Thanks JHaste.
But those are pretty much the exact instructions I followed that gave me the error.
My phone is rooted, but running the stock rom.
No custom rom, no patched browser.
The only changes I've made since rooting it are to copy some Thai fonts into the fonts directory.
The exact specifics of my error are posted in:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5528501&postcount=118
Very similar to what PhantomRampage listed, but a slightly different cause, I think... (his is an error on Browser.apk)

Thanks for trying but as i said before, i tried that and it fails because i have an unlocked bootloader.
Sorry if my first post was confusing, ill try again.
I unlocked my bootloader and rooted my N1 the other day, i also modified and added some files to get pinch-to-zoom working on the native browser. To do that i followed some tutorial on theunlockr, i cant post direct links so google it and you'll find it easily.
So, now i want to apply the new OTA update but it fails, either because i have root access or because i tampered with the browser files im guessing.
Knowing all that, what can i do to install the new update?
Also, will i have to download patched updates from now on since i rooted my phone? I'm really hoping i dont have to; i'd prefer to install the ota updates as they come out officially.
might have found a solution
check out:
forum (dot) androidcentral (dot) com / google-nexus-one/6469-will-my-n1-receive-ota-ere27-update-cyanogen-mod (dot) html
seems to be just what i was looking for but i think i want to re-flash the stock firmware instead, i want to stay as stock as possible so i can install future OTA updates without having to go through all this trouble. Can anyone help me with that please?
Anyways, i hope my link will help some people. Sorry for the double post

Hey guys I am hoping someone can help me out. About a week ago I did the one click root with my phone and used it to clear my cache etc... but never installed any roms. I got the update notice for 2.2.1 and when I go to install it, it always aborts when it gets to the end. Even if I do the root manually. The error looks similar to this:
--Install from sdcard...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
Installing update...
Verifying current system...

I wiped clean the phone and even tried it with the fresh install and it just won't take. When I do it with the official update it shows the icon with the box open and the arrow coming out and then goes to the guy with the exclamation point. Any help? Please?
Official signed updates don't work with rooted phones, dummy.
DDM123, before doing the update I used the "one click root" to unroot my phone. Is there another way to unroot the phone or am I stuck from not getting anymore official updates?
Did you install custom recovery? If yes - you need to install the stock one back.
Hey guys,
I am pretty new with the android OS but I am trying my hardest to read up on it and wrap my head around it. so please bear with me.
I have a verizon fascinate that was purchased a week ago and I rooted it.
I have the Rom Manager installed and the OS is running smoothly. I was going to install a custom Rom on my phone but when I tried to back up the current Rom using the Rom manager. it will boot into the Android system recover (2e) and this is what shows up on my phone:
-- Install from Package...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
verifying update package...
E:faield to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed
Installation aborted.
with that massage I dont think that I have my current Rom backed up any where...
does any one know how I can get passed this step?
I dont have much knowledge about the android operating system so if some one can help me out with this it would be freaking awesome!
---
I have not installed anything crazy, Rooted with the One click root. and Used the Titanium back up software.
You have to flash the Clockwork kernel/recovery onto it to run the update.zip that activates the backup stuff. See here.
MAKE SURE YOU FLASH INTO THE "PDA" SECTION OF ODIN AND NOT THE "PHONE" PART. "Phone" will brick your device.
Works perfect now!
Thank you very much!
i'm having the same problem, but i've already flashed clockwork? did i miss something?

Which version of cwm are you using, and what are you trying to flash?

I was rooted with z4, had apps frozen with titanium backup, have bootstrap, used dx overclocker (to undervoltage and to do a quick-boot with "android" logo rather than Droid Eye). I unrooted, unfroze, stock voltage/speed and turned off apply at boot, FORGOT to undo the quick-boot (but I thought it wouldnt matter since i'm unrooted).
Booted into recovery, tried doing the update.zip got Installation Aborted error (status 7), pressed reboot phone and got the M, followed by the "android" logo that WILL NOT GO AWAY.
Phone won't load, what should I do? Need phone to work soon!

Ok it sounds like you are stuck in a bootloop.....you can restart your phone by doing a batt pull then when you go to turn it on hold the power button and home at the same time until you see the exclamation mark and droid guy ..this means you are in recovery mode ...then press the search button and a menu will appear ....use volume rockers to scroll and the camera or menu button to select ....go to data wipe/factory reset and select it ...then reboot and if it works your x will be back to how it came out of box if it doesn't then you will have to sbf ...find the sbf file for whatever system version you are on and flash it and that should work
Well, I did a restore, which worked. However, I'd still like to receive the OTA update. I downloaded the update.zip and want to install it myself. Why was i given this installation aborted error? Was it truly because of what I said above--quick boot option?
Edit: Tried booting into normal recovery (not bootstrap), while not rooted, and no rooting tasks have been done since the restore. Trying to "apply sdcard:update.zip" gives me an Error in /sdcard/update.zip (status 7) Installation Aborted
Edit2: Original Post updated with issue
I'm in the same boat...
I unfroze the bloat and unrooted my phone, it was stock with all bloat froze so nothing out of the ordinary to be concerned about.
Ran update.zip and got the same error as you. I'm not savvy enough to understand or figure out what's going wrong with any certainty. My best guess is that something in the build prop doesn't jive with the build prop the update.zip file checks against. I doubt rooting would have caused any change in my build prop and I never did anything to my phone other than root and freeze bloat so my build prop should be fine.
Problem Solved
Fixed the issue thanks to the help from the guys at: (#androidchat on freenode)
specifically tabe and krayzee.
I am 2.3.15 originally, with a bootloader 30.04 (not 30.03).
I used the sbf (that I got from androidchat), and just sbfed. Before activating my phone again, I did the update.zip and it worked just fine.
Guide I used for SBF: droidxforums /forum/hacking-help/12015-complete-droid-x-sbf-flashing-guide.html
(it says you should be careful if you are on 30.04, but i did it on 30.04 so you will be fine)
Hope this helps.
Can you share the sbf I am having the same issue and it is ticking me off. Thanks in advance
i posted the link for the sbf in the above post, i cannot post actual links, so you'll have to add to figure out the url for yourself. Just go to androidchat*org and go to their file database, its in there.

So I got the OTA update to 4.4 on my Nexus 4 4.3. I clicked it and it rebooted, took a few minutes to run some files via dos prompt...Afterwards I ended up at my TWRP screen. I selected "reboot" at the main screen then "system" thinking that the stuff happening at the beginning was the install update to 4.4. Afterwards my phone is no longer booting, like it has no OS. Hindsight, I think I should have done some research before continuing. Need some help? What are my options? Download fresh 4.4 and reinstall or ?
