Verizon ota failed

Hello,
Yesterday I rooted my new droid x. I used titanium backup to backup, then remove some of the apps that I didn't need. However, then I received the ota update, and it fails to install. Im assuming it is because I have removed the city id, amazon mp3 store, and backup assistant. I try to restore, but I find I cannot restore them jacques they are non market apps. Where can I find them, then install them?

Theres An .sbf I Used To Get The Update Easily
Just Make Sure You Back Up Everything
(.sbf Is Used By RSD Lite Just In Case You Didn't Know)

hmm...
Ok, well, im not all that familiar with what your talking about...
I soppose I kinda did the opposite when it comes to removing integral apps on the phone, but from what im reading, im mostly hosed aren't I?
How do i find this .sbf and how would i use this RSD to restore?
I apologize in advance for being such a noob.

Time to start learning about your Droid X. It's all here, in this forum and in the development forum. Check out the Wiki first. There's a link to it on the first post of the android development forum.
Your problem is easily solved btw.

Download the backup there, boot into CWM and restore from that image. You'll get all the crapware back and will be able to OTA. Alternatively you can go to 928droid.com and download the clean DX image.

I called Verizon about not being able to update with the OTA and they are sending me a new phone lol!

I did a little research and found that i have the 30.04 boot loader. My attempts at locating what i guess is referred to as a "system only SBF" have been futile. Is there somewhere i can find this? what is the name of the file i need, i know links cannot be posted.
I attempted at restoring the apks to the phone via adb (applied proper permissions etc). I got the apks back, and the apps running properly (backupassistantclient.apk ... etc) however, to no avail it still will not update.

hmmm 30.04. TMK only the leaked 2.3.320 SBF and the official OTA use that bootloader. Are you sure the update didn't work? Maybe your brand new phone already has the update? Settings->about phone->Android version should tell you. 2.2.1 = the OTA.

Actually, I've had that bootloader on 2 separate X's; one I bricked on a system only leak of .320 and one I ended up using the leaks to get to .340(wouldn't OTA, possibly because I forgot to fix permissions). I know because at one point I SBFed the phone from .151 to .15 and I saw the bootloader version.

Sleuth is correct--there is a full (as opposed to "system only") 2.3.32 SBF that works with 30.04. As has been previously suggested, all of the info on finding this file and installing it are contained in the wiki (which is located on the xda droid x dev page). It really isn't a big deal to resolve your issue. Learning to unbrick your phone with RSD will be extremely useful to you in the future, as will the time you spent screwing around with ADB.
I give you props for trying to resolve your issue yourself, rather than crying to Verizon the first time you ran into trouble

ok, so i got it to SBF finally! it worked. now i have 2.2.1. But i no longer have root access, gaaha! what gives! anyway... any good tip to restore root access?
I am glad i know how to do the SBF processes, im not so leery about installing custom roms on my DX anymore... which is my end goal now that i can do the SBF for this boot loader.
However, how to do i get root access again?

Reroot your phone however you did the first time.... I used z4root, took some time to get it work... but eventually got it to work

Warranty Process

I have a RAZR M running on T-Mobile. All was good, but I guess I accidentally took the update last night, because I woke up my phone to be greeted with the "your device has been updated" screen. I was trying to avoid it because I was rooted and wanted to keep the possibility of unlocking the bootloader, but oh well...it's not a big deal. However, now my phone keeps rebooting itself. I haven't narrowed it down to whether it's a consistent time between boots or what, but I've had at least 4 or 5 times since last night where I either glance over and see the boot animation playing, or I've been greeted by the "SIM is from an unknown source" screen when I wake the phone.
There's no chance Verizon will just swap it out for me, is there? Since I'm not their customer, I'm assuming I'd have to go through Motorola, which probably takes forever.

Motos turn around rate is rather fast... 10 days total maybe... 2 shipping to get to them they have to have it done in 5 business days... 2-3 days shipping to get it back to you... but with root they may not fix it... either way its worth a shot if you can go without a phone that long...

Oh, cool, that's not too bad. I'll try going into Verizon tomorrow just to see if I get lucky, but otherwise, I'll get in touch with Motorola.
I had root before, but the update removed it, so it shouldn't be an issue. It's too bad we can't RSD back to 4.1.1. The phone was perfect until the update was installed.

Just redo the NV edit and you don't have to return the phone, you can keep using it on GSM carriers.
The same NV edit works fine under the new build and you don't need root to use RadioComm.
There is also a way to revert to the prior rootable version and then protect root and update again keeping root.

Sorry, I don't think I was clear. I did redo the NV edit, and that works as expected. It's just that the phone keeps freezing and rebooting. It's done it another 2 times (make that 3...it just did it again) since I posted this thread. The only thing that has changed from yesterday to now is that it now has the update (and a factory reset, since I hoped that would solve the issues).
How do I go back to a rootable version? That would be easiest if possible, but I read that RSD doesn't allow you to downgrade unless you have an unlocked bootloader.

Ok I misunderstood then. Check this link for the reversion method. It is for the HD but the same principle applies to the M as well.
I posted an edited XML file for the XT907 in that thread but there has been more work done since then and a fully scripted tool was made up which may not have been released yet.
This was all worked out over the last couple of days, so check that thread for the most recent info.
Basically you flash back in RSD Lite with the previous full XML.zip but using an edited XML file that skips the tz.mbn and gpt_main0.bin along with the getvar lines.
The boot up and root under that version with Motochopper and use Voodoo root keeper and protect and temp unroot and update again to the current build.

Is your phone still freezing and rebooting. If your phone stopped doing that, do you know what you did to stop this because I'm now facing the same problem.

Mine is still doing it. It's either just a random coincidence that it happened the same time that I took the update, or it's caused by a part of the update that was skipped by the roll-back procedure. Either way, I've contacted Motorola and will be sending the phone to them this week. I just don't feel like dealing with trying to fix it myself, and if the X turns out to be decent, I'm going to end up selling the M so I want it to be in good condition for a good resale value.
Now I need to see if the files to RSD to a completely stock version of the newest build are available anywhere.

98.18.78 update

I have a Motorola droid razr m model XT907. It's rooted and GSM unlocked. I'm using it on Straight Talk currently. Verizon is pushing this 98.18.78 update which I hear unroots the phone. I want to know which of the verizon apps I need to freeze or remove to prevent this update.
Thanks in advance

Just a heads up, you posted in the Razr HD forum, but no big deal the procedure will be the same for both. When I was running stock ROMs, I would freeze the updater.apk in TiBU to prevent OTAs. However, the new update is rootable with Motochopper 1.3, but you can't unlock the bootloader. If I was in your situation, I would unlock the bootloader now, take the update (for the improvements it offers), re-root it, and unlock it for GSM again. Once your BL is unlocked and you have a custom recovery installed, all you have to do is flash SU in recovery to regain root.

I thank you for the answer. You make it sound so easy,. However, I needed step by step instructions to get where I am now. Can you point me to some to do this? I've unlocked the GSM a couple of times using CellZealot's post. That's no problem. I have titanium backup to freeze the updater.apk, but what is TiBU? I'll get Motochopper in the meantime.

Duhhhh, I just figured out what TiBU is.

If you don't want to unlock the bootloader and want to take the OTA, then root afterwards, you can find Motochopper 1.3 here:
http://www.droidrzr.com/index.php/t...oot-razr-m-xt907-for-locked-devices-on-91878/
If you want to unlock the bootloader, look for Motopocalypse here (you'll need root access for this, so unlock prior to updating. The OTA does block the ability to unlock the BL, but does not block the ability to root):
http://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/Template:Motopocalypse
Once you unlock the bootloader, look for the TWRP thread in the Development section, there should be instructions, along with the file you need to install the recovery. Once TWRP is installed, get the updater SuperSU .zip and flash it in recovery and you will re-gain root. If you want to update after unlocking, you can take one of the several stock ROMs running around here and flash in recovery.
SuperSU: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1538053
Long story short:
- You can stay as is, by just freezing the updater.apk
- You can OTA and re-root with Motochopper 1.3
- You can unlock bootloader and re-root afterwards.

Thanks again. I'll work on this tomorrow and post back.

Ok, so first, you need to disable the install-recovery script. I built an app to do this (YOU GET TO BE THE FIRST TESTER YAY!)
Install this app: ftp://kd8rho.net/RecoveryFlasherDisabler-public-test.apk
Choose "disable install-recovery"
That will (theoretically - can't test cause my phone's rooted and ROMMed) allow you to install a custom recovery without any hassle.
Once that's done, follow the installation instructions in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2226729, starting with this line:
Next, choose your recovery. There are 2 options, TWRP (Touch Win Recovery Project) and CWM (ClockworkMod)
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
You won't have to boot directly into recovery because that app *should* fix that for you. You can boot the phone normally after installing and run something like "adb reboot recovery"

I downloaded and installed your app. When I ran it, it said the installer was found, but disabled. moving on to step two now. Thanks

Hello. This is way off base but does the update fix the screen glitch? Are there any roms that will fix the glitch?
Thanks in advance!
Xt907 JESUS IS THE WAY, THE TRUTH, AND THE LIGHT! *BE BLESSED*

The screen glitch isn't fixed from the update. It might be better. I have a hunch the new radio isn't good for customers with unlimited data in areas with 4G coverage. My phone seems more eager to switch to 3g after the update. Besides that, I can't tell this update foes anything positive. It would be nice to use fastcharge while powered off but for some reason my device will not turn off while it's plugged in. It used to turn off and charge, then one day it quit working. If my battery is low enough and I turn the phone off the green light glows solid for s few minutes then the xt907 turns itself on. Can I downgrade to the previous radio or am I stuck with the new 3g friendly radio that presumably serves Verizon's purposes and not mine?

Samsung Galaxy S4 US Cellular Rooting Issues

Alright, so there isn't really a US Cellular area that I can find, so I'm going to do this here.
I'm having some issues rooting my phone, it's a US Cellular Samsung Galaxy S4 SCH-R970
I dont know if its because i updated it once, or what, but NO attempt to use Motochopper or any other root tool has worked, and i am not nearly skilled enough to start poking around the inside of my phone to do it myself manually or anything.
Every time i use motochopper, after is pushes for root for like 10 seconds, i get a message on there that says:
Failure
Cleaning
blahblah
and i am FAIRLY certain its because i updated my phone once, and if that is the case, can i just reset to factory settings, or something else?
this whole thing is getting on my last nerve, because my phone is out of service, so i dont care about the warranty, and i just want to root it, get a new recovery, and flash a new ROM, and i cant find anything to help me anywhere.
so thank you, in advance, for replying
if you need any other info, just ask

If CWM installs and is successful than you should be good.
You could also try Rom manager from the playstore just for CWM .
After installing rom manager open the app and hit the top button for installing CWM ,in the next screen go with the top selection and if your phones model pops up hit install.
Do not use rom manager to boot to CWM recovery.
Power it off and boot into recovery manually. If it boots to CWM than there you go.now un install rom manager and
Start your search for roms

I was sitting in my car and looked at the screen and I noticed that the phone was downloading MotorolaOTA 4.0 Does anyone know what it is? I am currently running KitKat 4.4.4 and never did the Lollipop update.
I also stopped the download in process but it appears that the phone would love to continue the download.

The phone has an app called MotorolaOTA, which is responsible for downloading system updates. If it was a software update it'd say it's 23.11.39.

For over a month I have been getting the update screen and I would just put it off. Now it seems like it is pushing it's way into my phone.

Motorola confirmed recently that they would be patching the Stagefright exploit for the Turbo via OTA. I wonder if they can somehow force the update since it's such an important security issue this time around. I seem to remember Samsung doing something similar with the S6 shortly after release. I would recommend disabling Motorola OTA until more is known.

Not rooted, cannot disable.

Caught my phone doing the same thing. Is Lollipop larger than 770MB? I thought so, but haven't checked into it.

That's what I have been trying to figure out.

CM 12.1 ROM (Lollipop 5.1.1) for our Quarks is only 390 MB.
So, yeah, Lollipop 5.1 with Verizon bloatware is probably 770MB.
But the 5.1 OTA for Droid Turbo XT1254 posted here is 1.1GB:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/dro...quark-stock-firmware-moto-maxx-droid-t3063470
Still 770MB is huge.

My phone downloaded it. Been telling it no thanks for a few days now. Some home after telling it to remind me later it then decided to reboot and start installing. I haven't rooted yet but I have bought moforoot and don't want my 20 bucks to go to waste! Of course I can boot up without it wanting to install. Went into bootloader and powered it off. Almost though i couldn't get into that.
Any way I can stop this thing? Trying to get someone at home to turn on my PC since that is where my moforoot is at and stupid me didn't put it on my server which is on 24/7. Any ideas?

Before my turbo was rooted, I was able to block the OTA's by installing the motorola drivers on my windows pc and installing Minimal ADB / Fastboot. Go here for instructions http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=57436867&postcount=26
However, I never did download any of the OTA's to my phone but I hope this helps. I believe this is by Rootjunky as far as credits are concerned.

The debloat tool is a much easier way to disable any app on your phone. On kitkat it disables and on lollipop it hides the apps. The hide command on lollipop has the same effect as the disable command on kitkat.

My phone downloaded it. Been telling it no thanks for a few days now. Some home after telling it to remind me later it then decided to reboot and start installing. I haven't rooted yet but I have bought moforoot and don't want my 20 bucks to go to waste! Of course I can boot up without it wanting to install. Went into bootloader and powered it off. Almost though i couldn't get into that.
Any way I can stop this thing? Trying to get someone at home to turn on my PC since that is where my moforoot is at and stupid me didn't put it on my server which is on 24/7. Any ideas?

Enter recovery mode, clear cache and use the debloat tool to disable the OTA.

Yea no go on Recovery. It just goes straight to "Installing System update" Got my PC on, downloaded my mofo to my work PC, and not installing drivers and also downloading a stock but rooted version of 4.4.4. not quite ready to move on to 5.1 yet.
Thanks for the help though and tryin to help out! Now to finally jump into my Turbo after 8 months of having it. I miss the days of TWRP on my Razr HD. Funny because i had to reload an old backed up image so i could get some old wifi passwords.
UGH this damn phone. Won't power off when in Fastboot, so i just have to let it sit in fastboot and watch it and just restart everytime it starts up. got 20 minutes left of downloading an image. About ready to say F'it and just factory reset it for now and see if that fixes it or not.

Well flashing a stock rooted rom didn't work. Uses the rooted Quark 21.44.12 image that I download and I know i was on 21.44.12 when i checked last time. So don't know if it was because of the starting up the update or what.
Soft bricked my turbo, time to use RSD Lite again. Haven't had to use this in a LOOOOOONG time (Like Droid X Days)

I'm probably too late but have you tried this to get back to KitKat? I used it earlier today and it worked great.

No I had to get my phone backup asap. using the RSD Lite method actually didn't work. the program would keep freezing right after it read the zip file and then crash. Had to use Root Junky's method. I was able to restore back to stock 21.44.12 and everything was there as if nothing happened so I'm all good.
