Bootstrap Fails to Install GB Update - Droid X General

I'm running rooted Froyo 2.3.340 on my Droid X. I downloaded the two zip files (from this site: http://www.droid-life.com/2011/05/28/download-official-droidx-gingerbread-4-5-596-for-rooted-users/) as per instructions in method 2...
I wiped my cache using Cache Cleaner....
I opened Bootstraper for Droid 2....I hit "bootstrap recovery..."
I hit "reboot recovery...."
I went to install zip file from sdcard, navigated to zip 1 and went to install...after about 5 seconds, I received this message:

I did rename the zip files to make them easier to find...could this be the cause of the problem?

Well I know renaming them isn't the problem because I did the same thing.
It says the failed operation was checking for a specific file. Try reinstalling or uninstalling whatever app that failed. Or if it is a file for a system app, not a data app, let me know what it is (since I can't really read it clearly in the picture) and I will upload it for you to download and replace.

It might have done that since you cleared your cache.

I resolved the issue by renaming the system files (bloatware) I changed to .bak, back to .apk
After this I ran the bootloader and it installed the zipped files no problem.

Yes. The 2-part update to GB needs to be started with stock Froyo, like out was right out of the box.

Gmail update

Mine keeps saying installation unsuccessful, anyone else? I'm on MIUI

Try to unmount the sd then download and install, it worked for me when angry birds didn't install.
Package file not signed correctly when I did that

Same problem.
Mines updated... but I just realized none of my downloads are showing up in the market.
I found that edited apks (themed or otherwise) cause updates to not install correctly. Have you tried uninstalling gmail altogether and then reinstalling?
try using rom manager's file permissions fix that helped me with some apps that were failing upgrades. (assuming your rooted of course)
also... try using root explorer, navigate to system/app change to r/w permissions.
delete the gmail.apk, reboot to recovery and wipe dalvik. Reboot and re download from market. Hope this helps

Liberty rom not working with mp3 files

Not sure if this is a known issue but I can't play mp3 files with the liberty rom. I was using grummy before this one and had the same problem. It says file type not supported if I try to play it. This is probably related but I can't play any songs off of Pandora or grooveshark. Any tips as to what's happening. I tried unmounting my SD card aand mounting it and tried using winamp still no luck.

did you come from 2.3.15 or 2.3.32/34?
If you came from 2.3.15, I think that is the reason. You need to update your kernel.
If you came from 2.3.32 or higher, I don't know.
I'm currently using 2.6.32 not sure what I came from. Is there a way to check without restoring my backup?

In "About Phone" what is your kernel version?
i had the same problem, u will have to flash back to stock, update your version then flash back over to liberty, thats what i had to do, and now it works fine
Ok I found a zip that says it will update my kernal can I just flash that instead of going back to stock?

I think you can just flash that, but I haven't tried it. You might want to ask @P3Droid on twitter if you are using his (TBH) .zip.

If audio isnt working, then i am 100% surr e you are/were still kn 2.3.15 update. I was in the same boat. If you really want to stay on your current version, let me know. I have the files that will fix your issue.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
NOTE: These files are only useful if you are on the 2.3.15 OTA from Verizon and are running Liberty or GummyJar 2.5
MAKE A NANDROID BACKUP OF YOUR PHONE BEFORE DOING THIS! I TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR PHONE IF YOU MESS IT UP
Take this zip file that is attached, there should be two .so files under the /system/lib folder.
you will need root explorer to do this most easily. If you don't have root explorer, you can use adb to push the files to your phone.
Open a command prompt to the directory where you saved these files and enter the following commands:
adb shell
su
mount -o rw,remount /dev/block/mtdblock4 /system
**KEEP THIS FIRST WINDOW OPEN
Open a second command prompt window and issue the following commands:
adb push libbridge.so /system/lib/libbridge.so
adb push libLCML.so /system/lib/libLCML.so
Go back to the first command prompt and issue the follow commands:
cd /system/lib
chmod 644 libbridge.so
chmod 644 libLCML.so
Go back to the 2nd command prompt and enter the following:
adb remount
adb reboot
Your phone will now reboot, and once it has booted back up, you should be good to go!
Good luck and enjoy!
I have this same issue but it doesnt appear to be related to firmware. My handset is on 340 and MP3's play when on the stock rom but fail to do so when on Liberty 1.5.

My guess would be just a bad install unfortunately. I would use the Liberty Toolbox to backup your apps/data and then backup any other info you made need (contacts if not synced to gmail, etc.) and then do a re-install of Liberty 1.5
See if this helps out the problem, as I have seen this work before. I have had a few issues when coming from different ROM's and then going to Liberty 1.5, a fresh install over the top helped me.
Does it play any sound at all or just mp3s? That seems like an odd bug. Did you try using winamp or doubleTwist to see if that fixes it? Maybe go liberty apps setting and install the music add on. Maybe that will help. Good luck.

Thanks, but I can't get shall I flash these files over my Liberty 1.5 or get back to other ROM (which one exactly?).

Accidently deleted Update.zip file.

I accidentally formatted my sd card. Right now I'm running black hole 3.0 with a voodoo kernel. I was wondering how can I get back the Update.zip file.

You probably mean the CWR (clockwork recovery) update.zip.
Every now and then you can find someone hosting it, but the easiest way to get it is to just 'Flash ClockWorkMod Recovery' in Rom Manager. The command is named somewhat misleadingly, but the net effect is it downloads and copies a current update.zip to your sd card. Also of note, RM keeps its own copy named "recovery-update.zip" in the /sdcard/clockworkmod folder.
Also for whatever it is worth, this question has been asked several times already, and I have even answered it a few times myself. I find google to be more effective than searching directly on XDA. Hopefully this post proves more effective than the prior ones. Cheers
Swyped w/ XDA App. When in doubt, mumble.
Thanks, work like a charm.

If you are using a voodoo kernel younshould have the red CWM, which doesn't require the update.zip anyways

as far as i remember, CWM will be removed each time you restart your phone,unles you have a custom kernel/rom.
but its been long time ago when i did that x3
If stock there is a file that needs to be removed or renamed,

No. You merely need to rename / remove the install-recovery.sh script in /etc to prevent the stock recovery from writing at boot.

Yeah, restoring the file will then cause the stock recovery to be written upon reboot (if you want to go back to the stock recovery for some reason).
same but i solved it
clockworkmodrecovery rom manager find and install
open it and touch flash clockworkmod recovery(first item)
select reboot into recovery manual
mount and storage select
mount USB storage
unmount
++++ go back +++++
install from zip sdcard
find
'' super user.zip'' flash
reboot
es file explorer select setting mark root explorer and mount file system after
select phone in file explorer find etc folder select and find ''install-recovery.sh'' file and rename file for example ''install-recovery.sheski'' and
open rom manager again touch flash clockworkmod recovery(first item)
check it...

[Q] Force Rom 1.0 shows update for phone

should i install it, and will it take my root away?
If you have a custom recovery I do not think it will install. But to be safe, using root explorer (or similar app) go to /cache and delete the update zip, and then go to /etc/security and delete otacerts zip.
You should then be able to accept the update notification a count down timer will start but since you deleted the update zip nothing should happen.
**Edit** check out this thread, there is some info about this update and force rom:
