[Q] Motorola Defy+ : FOTA update failed !

I was pretty surprised to find a FOTA update waiting for my brand new Motorola Defy+ (Asia) when I logged on to Wifi after work. However after download, it invariably fails to install with a very simple error message of install failed !
FOTA details
-------------
Version : 45.0.1321.en.03
Changelog : http://www.motorola.com/staticfiles...cuments/Staticfiles/RN_DEFY-PLUS_Asia_MEA.htm
Phone Details
--------------
System Version : 45.0.891.MB526.AsiaRetail.en.03
Baseband Version : EPU93_U_00.60.00
Android Version : 2.3.4
However when I browse to the /cache folder (where the FOTA files are downloaded I see these 2 files : Blur_Version.45.0.891.MB526.AsiaRetail.en.03.crc and Blur_Version.45.0.891.MB526.AsiaRetail.en.03.zip
Can anybody please throw some light on what the hell is going on ? Did Motorola goof up and push 45.0.891.MB526.AsiaRetail.en.03 (already installed on the phone) as the update instead of 45.0.1321.MB526.AsiaRetail.en.03 (As displayed on the update popup) ?

Same here
Same experience for me too. Tried 3 times. Each time it reboots, a progress bar appears, but fairly quickly it shows an exclamation mark and the screen blanks out. Then it appears to boot normally and finally shows update failed message.

this software update failed
Im getting same response on my uk unbranded mb526

Post to motorola support forums ?
I posted in the motorola support forums and got a response from one of their reps who PMed me. Maybe if you guys also post there they'll put a little more importance to this ?
Thread is here : https://supportforums.motorola.com/thread/62727
BTW I copied the update file from the cache and tried to manually update using Motorola Recovery. I get the dreaded : AccountSettings.apk error (https://supportforums.motorola.com/thread/56713)

Motorola Support India called and I got the SBF flashed on my Device

Abesh, Did you have to take it in to a motorola service station?

They asked me to, but I told them that I have RSDLite and can flash the SBF if they gave me the sbf. They shared a dropbox link and I flashed myself.
Note however once you flash you'll loose root. SuperOneClick and Droid3Root does not work. Only way to get root is to use DooMLoRD's script. Refer to my post on how to root the Defy+ 2.3.6 in this forum.

What other info can I help you with ?

Hey I already replied quoting you on your thread about the ICS for Defy+ .... So I was asking if you could please share the SBF link!!! I am desperately searching for it!

Replied on the other thread. I've been explicitly asked not to share the update and I don't want to do anything illegal. I've been assured though that the correct update should hit the servers in not more than 2 days. Maybe wait till then ?

They won't know you shared the link, maybe someone hacked you? Lol

German update, same problem
I bought my defy+ as soon as it was available in Holland, apparently the phone is really the German release.
Today the update suddenly popped up on my phone, same problem the update failed !
When my phone arrived i deblurred it by editing build.props then hard reset, then i rooted it using the trick "from the german forum" so maybe this is why it failed to update ?
In other news i hear ICS will be coming soon, i suppose i'll just wait for that, but how to unroot my phone if required, i have no clue
more info on my update here

Update
Was anyone able to update..??
Please reply..!!

Need your assistance

Update your Defy Plus using your PC.
It is very easy to update your Defy plus and RSDlite is not required for updating the handset.
1) Just go to motorola India website and select defy plus then click Owner Support button.
2) On owner's support page you will have to click Update my software link.
3) Select defy plus from drop down menu.
4) on that page click "I have read Step 3 about third-party media."
5) and click download update.
6) Install the update software and after its installation connect your defy plus to your PC with USB cable.
7) The "Motorola update manager" software automatically detects your defy plus and install some drivers. it will take upto 5 to 10 minutes.
8) after that select update my phone software and your phone will get the latest update available.

[Q] Problem Updating From 10.1.2 -10.1.3

Hi. I am fairly new to this so the help is appreciated. I have been trying to upgrade my s3 R530 past 10.1.2 but the installation keeps getting aborted. It says something along the lines of: error: get prop boot loader. I know this isn't much to go off of so I will upload some info below. I have researched this problem and have hit a dead end. A friend of mine suggested that I flash back to the stock ROM and update my phone through us cellular. He thinks that there might be an update for the bootloader. The only thing is... I can't find a downloadable stock ROM. I am open to any ideas at this point. I will try the update again so I can provide more info on the error. Thanks!
Here is what my phone says when I try to update it.
Installing: /storage/sdcard1/phone upgrading/New Phone Update/cm-10.1.3 d2usc.zip
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
assert failed: get prop("ro.bootloader') == "R530 UVXAMD1" || get prop(ro.bootloader") == R530UVXAMD4
E: Error in /storage/sdcard1/phone upgrading/New Phone Update/cm-10.1.3-d2usc.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted
I hope that this helps.

[Q] Where to find saferoot for my S4

Hi,
I have tried with the one here, and it does not accept my device.
I become the following error message:
=================================
[*] Starting rooting program.
ro.build.product=jflte
ro.build.id=JSS15J
setsockopt<> failed: Bad address.
this device is not supported.
kallsyms_addresses search failed.
[*] Checking if rooting succeeded
[*] Unfortunately, rooting failed. Cleaning up.
=================================
I thought, this method runs on every stock from 4.3. I have the following: I9505XXUENAA_I9505YBTENB2_I9505XXUENAA_HOME.tar
Does someone knows a link with a newer version for my firmware? Or could the developer write it for this firmware? All the olders firmware from 4.3 also are supported.
Because I am a newbie, I cant post directly in the thread.
I would appreciate very much, if someone could help me.
I need a method, that dont triggers knox warranty.
Thanks in forward.

Hi,
I think the link you mentioned is showing the latest version of the saferoot script.
I used it last week for my: JSS15J.I9505XXUEMKF and it worked perfectly.
I first installed Samsung Kies version 3 and the I used the youtube link in post #1 to check what to do.
Some steps showed different, but eventually, with a good result.
I am not sure if your version of the firmware is any different than mine. I hope you will get it to work.
Good Luck.

Thanks, my version is different. You have firmware ...MKF, I have the latest ...NAA.
Both of them are Android 4.3, but the version has little updates, like missing 3g after deep standby, and so on.
I think the script is still not optimized for ...NAA.

Install this APP and add some screenshots.
* Remember: If he product code being inactive and causing no network is somewhat related to EFS being corrupted even if the IMEI is still intact. Restore a EFS backup if you have it or get your device to repair.

Doesn't let me do that either, I can post or type all info required though, that's the only possible way it seems until I post at least 10 times.

Did you have the same problems in android 4.4.2 before? Coz this seems hadware failure, no software.

This started sometime after OTA update to Lollipop but then I downgraded to 4.4.2 but made no difference so again updated to Lollipop, could be hardware also as it was intermittently working and then completely died but then I read about lot of posts about corrupted Wireless file which needs rooting to delete so I was thinking of making one last try for rooting and see if it helps but need help with right rooting method for this phone.

Did LG-FIRMWARE stop to support for offical KDZ?

I want to install stock kdz for my g2 but the server send "403 Forbidden" so I tried using some free proxy to be sure that my country has problem for the site. However, I tried all of the following sites with NO LUCK http://devtester.ro/projects/lg-firmwares/ http://lg-phone-firmware.com/ http://lg-firmware-rom.com/. Do you have any problems to download them? I tried to modify link as "http://pkg02.azure.gdms.lge.com/dn/downloader.dev?fileKey=...." and the other one. One of them gives "400 BAD REQUEST" other one is 403 FORBIDDEN. Thanks for your advice.

Seems so. I've tested it on http://devtester.ro/projects/lg-firmwares/download.php with IMEI search. I got a result but the download button doesn't respond.
Thats pretty sh***y. Let's hope anybody has a backup.

Thanks for your feedback. Does anybody has orginal kdz file that I need? This site has some roms for g2 but i don't know which one is compatible for our devices. Especially baseband and boot partition. I have lollipop installed now but I have same stability problem so I want to reflash orginal kdz. Thanks.

seems they ( LG official ) changed something with the kdz server...maybe different server address or somekind of maintance i tried to use flashtool with D80220H_00.kdz and it wont start "an error occured" ... sad but seems i stuck with custom roms, and i am unable to restore the stock firmware to my phone.
Now i am using the old gold Cloudy KK rom with stock kernel but sadly thing about no chance to restore the phone
My op system is WIN10 64bit

use XDM download manager
