for the love of God can some body help me?
i just dont know what to do, this is the oem rom update and why the unit is not able to find the update in the sd card?
This post isn't about development, you posted the same thing in multiple places, and you can't install the AT&T update with clockwork, you need the stock recovery.

Please god, Ive been stuck on this **** for 14 hours now. SOLUTION PLEASE!
I've experience rooting/roming over 50 phones, and this is getting irritating!
CWM doesnt flash .pkg's, and I'm coming in way to late in the process to understand this QueTip program or w-e. A simple stock recovery flash tutorial n link would be amazing.
this will happen too when you flash it over 2.2 already but in your case your on 16 ryt?i would suggest google search for the stock 1.6 6601 recovery image and flash it and then flash clockwork and then apply the update.
try to look here.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=778397
try here also.
http://android.modaco.com/content/d...uide-to-upgrading-and-downgrading-the-streak/
whats your baseband prior to this update?
I suggest that you use streakdroid recovery to make a nandroid backup before you revert to the stock recovery,
Download stock recovery from here. Make sure it is on your computer in the same folder as fastboot.exe
Excerpted from this streakdroid guide:
Shut down your Streak, then hold down the camera button (all the way) as you turn it back on.
The screen should turn white; press ‘Fastboot’ in the top right hand of the screen.
Plug in the USB cable – the Streak should now display ‘FASTBOOT_MODE’ at the bottom of the screen.
Open a command window and use ‘cd’ to change to the same directory as qdltool.
Run: fastboot -i 0x413c flash recovery recovery.img
Run: fastboot -i 0x413c reboot
Either rename the file you downloaded to recovery.img or change the name of the file to flash in step 5 to match the file downloaded.
Boot into recovery and you should now have a stock recovery.
You can boot your phone and try downloading and installing the OTA upgrade or you can place the upgrade file on your SD card and name it upgrade.pkg and try to install it using the stock recovery.
I suggest that you use streakdroid recovery to make a nandroid backup before you revert to the stock recovery.
Make sure that any ROM you try to install on your phone is appropriate for your hardware and carrier.
I personally was on the 318 build of 2.2... Downgraded to O2 2.1, then to O2 1.6, then to AT&T 1.6 with the BB downgrade... then upgrade to AT&T 340 2.2, its not that hard... get to stock AT&T 1.6 and leave the 340 "update.pkg" in the root of the SD card.

If you are not on at&t's 1.6 than this is your only option. Also your only way to go back to the 1.6 is using essentially same steps as above. So just make sure fastboot is set up and follow the steps listed above. It will work regardless of os you are running now. I just did it and I was on dj steve's 1.8. On a side note how is the upgrade working for you?(those that installed it)

i have fastboot
Yeah my installation came up with an error and it would not boot after it was applied so previously posted stock recovery does not work. So what you have to do is follow the steps to go back to stock at&t 1.6 rom. Here are the directions http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8558692&postcount=4
I am in a process of doing this now so i'll keep you posted. However, once you do the downgrade from the link above you should be able to just install latest at&t rom without any problems. Hope that helps.

it should be in the market. I used to use SuperOneClick it should work for 2.2 and 1.6. just google the SuperOneClick.exe and you run this from the computer not the phone. universalandroot you run from the phone.
First up, let me tell you that doing this is not necessay to get the OTA or having a smooth JB experience. The JB OTA installs without a wipe which means the data is preserved.
UPDATE: Google has put up the full image for 4.1.1 [i9023, i9020a and i9020t] . Now you do not need to clean flash ICS and then JB. Follow the part 1 of the guide below and flash the JB image instead of ICS. Nothing more to it.
Thanks anshumandash for pointing it out
That being said, I wanted to have the real stock image on my Nexus S and then Upgrade to JellyBean. Below are the steps that I took.
Go to this GoogleAndroidImages page and download the appropriate image for your phone & download. Since mine is an international version a.k.a I9023, I chose that ROM.
The download will be a tar.gz file. Use a utility like 7Zip to uncompress it. The tar.gz will have a .tar file inside and the /tar file will have a folder. Extract the folder to your PC. For my download, the folder was named soju-imm76d
Next Steps will wipe your phone, completely
Reboot your phone into bootloader mode.
Open a command prompt, navigate to the folder in step 2.
Enter the below commands, the image file names are for my download, modify it to the file names in your folder before running (I assume that you have fastboot working)
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-crespo-i9020xxkl1.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio radio-crespo-i9020xxki1.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot -w update image-soju-imm76d.zip
After the last step, the phone reboots and takes you to the initial setup screen.
Additionally, I reflashed CWM and the the JellyBean OTA along with superuser. Below are the steps for that
Download the OTA from google server. This thread by oldblue910 is kept updated with the latest updates. Currently it has OTA's for I9023 and I9020A
Download the superuser from androidsu website. This is the RC version 3.2
Download the latest clocworkmod recovery touch-version non-touch-version
For simplicity sake, put all the files downloaded at a single folder
Reboot phone into bootloader mode.
Open a command prompt and go to the folder in step 4.
Now execute this fastboot command to flash the CWM recovery. Change the filename to the file you have downloaded.
fastboot flash recovery recovery-clockwork-6.0.0.7-crespo.img
Now using the vol down key choose to go to recovery.
There, using the options, navigate to the install zip from sdcard and first install the OTA and then the superuser zip file.
Reboot. You now have rooted JB
PS: I additionally did a fastboot oem lock and fastboot oem unlock back to back to wipe my sdcard too

The OTA is essentially an upgrade, it builds atop the existing ICS 4.0.4 rom. I had so much mods on top of my rom that I wasnted to have a clean start. Besides, there has been multiple reports of an error 7 in case of non stock or certain moded roms.

Thanks for the tutorial. Thinking of doing the update this way. I have a i9020a rooted with 4.0.4 and when I try to do OTA update I got signature verification error in CWM 5.8.0.2.
For the wipe, from what I understand, you just execute the lock command above which wipes the SD and then unlock it with the second command? Sorry total newbie on this.
That is exactly what i did when the OTA zip pacage first showed up here on xda. Good guide. Im rocking mine with simple kernel
I followed the first part of the guide to restore to stock, and then did the OTA update. It all went well except one little catch: after the OTA update for 4.1.1, I flashed the CWM 6.0.0.7, and then realize that I forgot to copy the root zip file onto SD. Had to reboot the phone and copy the file over. After that I go into bootload mode again and try to go to recovery, ends up with a red exclaim mark and phone is locked. Had to do a battery pull, restart the phone, and then reflash that CWM image, and immediately after that, go to recovery and do the root zip install. Not sure why is that. Have not tried to do the recovery again but I'm glad that I'm now on JB and rooted. Thanks OP !
I keep gettin status 7 error.
When i install the OTA through the phone itself (by letting it restart the phone and install it) i get the exclamation mark.
Im on Stock 4.0.4 and not rootet. Is there anyway to install this OTA without fully wipe it?

The lock command just lock the bootloader, it is the unlock command that will wipe the SD. It will also ask you for a confirmation on your phone's screen...

when you rebooted the phone to copy the su.zip, the OS restored the oroginal recovery. That's why you got the red exclamation mark. To get the CWm, you can flash it again in fast boot, go into recovery and then ask the CWM to reboot.. if it is 6.0.0.7, before reboot it will ask for the recovery to be made overwrite proof (a nice new feature in v6), choose yes and you are good to go..

Status 7 error comes when you have some kind of custom rom or may be some core mod applied to your rom. I am not aware of a way to get this proceed without full wipe: You can try the below though:
1. Flash the stock 4.0.4 for your phone without data wipe (you can wipe the dalvik cache though). This will make sure you are on the "stock".
2. Try the OTA
or you can backup using titanium backup, and then follow my guide. Restore the apps after flashing 4.0.4 and the try OTA.
It will be good it you take a nandroid backup before doing either of the above.

As I understand, flashing the .img WILL wipe out the apps & data.
However, I have flashed the CM9 nightlies zip multiple times without loosing the data. Here we are dealing with a stock zip, so I am not sure. You can try the zip method after taking a nandroid backup.
My phone was running well but last night all of sudden it went in boot loop. CWM Recovery is showing E:can't mount error and I am not able to flash any rom using CWM recovery.
I searched for stock rom and found out some but I am not sure about which rom to flash using sp flash tool.

Open SP flash tools, click on format tab, make sure "Format everything except bootloader" is CHECKED. Click format then connect your switched off phone via USB cable, after format is complete, pull out USB and click on download tab, load the scatter file and use secro.img for Cache and Userdata. Download should now commence.
After download is complete pull out cable and boot into recovery mode first. You'll see a broken android logo, press the power button once and you'll see recovery options. Perform a factory reset then boot system. Be patient first boot can take up to 15 minutes.
Hit thanks if it helps.

That's why I said, make sure "Format everything except bootloader is CHECKED". As long as your bootloader is intact, your phone will always connect to the computer.
And I wouldn't be suggesting something if I didn't do it myself.

I've bought my ZEN3 (520) and it had Android 6. I managed to root it, but I was forced to unlock bootloader to do it (don't remember if official or unofficial unlock).
Now I removed root, tried reinstalling stock boot partition, etc...etc... but nothing works! It always trips at the dm-verity check at boot time, and it says it will be shut down in 10 seconds, and it really shuts down! (

Why u tried to remove root? for installing nougat? If u want to update to nougat, u dont need remove root, just flash it.
Can you access recovery mode? If yes, just copy the rom on your sd card, before u flash the rom, u must flash boot.img inside rom.zip and stock recovery same as rom ver.

If u want flash the latest avaible stock firmware, u must extract firmware.zip u downloaded, and flash boot.img and recovery.img from it. If u cant find recovery.img inside it, just flash latest recovery.img avaible from mega (its for nougat too). Put firmware ur downloaded on sd card.
-reboot your phone to fastboot mode, connect your phone to pc and flash boot.img and recovery.img
-after that go to recovery>install update from sd card and choose the .zip

Thanks. I'll give it a try
I figured out how to update after flashing twrp. Maybe obvious to some but I've seen questions about it.
The zip in the "Convert CA to WW" thread has the stock rom in a zip file. Open it and inside is a recovery.img file in it, extract it to your adb folder on your PC.
Download the firmware update from ASUS official site and save to the root of your sd card or internal storage (it will recognize both.)
Reboot into fastboot on your device.
fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
When that finishes reboot and your phone should find the update and ask if you want to install. Do so. You may need to power cycle first.
When you're done you can reflash TWRP.
Once you have TWRP you can flash Magisk or SuperSU as you see fit.
It's painless.
An old post from you, but thank you. This was really easy. I've spent 2 days trying to figure out how to upgrade without restore stock rom, boot etc. and lose all data. I was about to give up when I saw this post, I didn't expect it to work - to easy. But I could give it a try.
This was painless.
Then it took me 3 hours to figure out how to reinstall twrp again, it wasn't just to flash and reboot I had to boot directly into recovery after flash. But that is another story.
Thanks, you just saved me some time!

You need to upgrade to latest N - ...14.2020.1712.85, once you do that you should get Oreo as FOTA after reboot

Thanks, man.
Can I manually update with the recovery by downloading the rom?
I think, the FOTA won't arrive as I've rooted my phone.

When you flash stock recovery and update you unroot, so you will get FOTA. Just update to Oreo and then flash twrp and Magisk (or whatever you use) again.
I am rooted and updated to Oreo then chose updates involving battery improvement and/or system stability (downloaded to external sd), after installed the last update I flashed twrp and rooted again.
You need to flash stock recovery before update. The phone will find the updated with custom recovery but update will fail.
The site I downloaded stock recovery from is down so you have to search for it, or download RAW stock rom and extract the recovery from it

Seems like Mega is up again. You should find stock recovery here

Thanks! I ended up having to use the 11.41.87.2 recovery in order to flash a Nougat update - it wouldn't work with the older recoveries.
