Ok I have gotten as far as installed the Leaked update. Now when I try to boot into recovery I get as far as the Droid Bot laying down but when I push the both the volume buttons it never goes beyond that to choose the update from Leak to soak. Any ideas?

It can be very touchy. I usually hold both down for about 5 seconds then release and press again rapidly. Sometimes it just doesnt want to go, in which case, I just keep pressing both buttons at different intervals until it takes. Keep an eye out on the screen because if you start spamming those buttons and the menu comes up and you keep pressing them it can take you back to just dead andy.

I protected root with Voodoo, I've installed the update from the sd card and it finished. When it rebooted, nothing happened after the Motorola symbol appears. What would cause this, a bad download of the OTA? I can get into recovery. (I am on the Xmas leak and did download the correct version)

I've done all this, but still seem unable to to select the update. I highlight it.. press the power button to select it... and it transfers me to .../ if I press the power button again, it brings me back to the main menu with no change.
What am I missing here? I feel like such a n00b right now.

You're sure its on your external sd and is NOT unzipped?

yup

[aktrazer]

And you hit "Apply update from external storage" then select the file? Might be a bad download or you may have the wrong file. It also could be a bad sd card and youll need to reformat it. (That happened to me yesterday, couldnt for the life of me figure out what was wrong, turns out my sd card had to be reformatted)

Can you give me more information? What Version are you on now? Have you fully removed safestrap, etc? What is the filename of the file youre trying to flash?

Just need to know so i can point you in the right direction.

Currently on stock 4.0.4 ICS. Unrooted. Downloaded from the link of the official OTA ICS (up top: Section 3, first link). Download is set on SD.
When in recovery (dead Andy pictured), I selected "apply update from external storage"...then select:"Blur_Version.6.16.211.XT912.Verison/ (which I'm guessing is the JB update)... I then get this : "../" the basic dos . When selected again, I get sent back to the menu list again.
Any idea as to what's the issue?

Check the

MD5 Sum:

Also Check File Size,

Size:

338.83 MB (355286067 bytes)

Make sure the file is a .zip file do not expand file, if you downloaded from IE sometimes it changes the file name.. If you have to name it update.zip. right click on file and make sure it doesnt say something like.zip.txt or anything crazy

Also when it boots are you positive you don't have SafeStrap installed? Do you have enough space? Wipe Cache etc, Factory reset if you have to in settings/security wipe cards also, then reboot 2 times, and double check if file is on the SD Card.. And try again

Maybe a bad download. Id try it with a new one. If that doesnt work, I recommend using Matt's 1.90 utility. It can take care of all of that for you.

I am wondering if it is downloading to your internal SD and not your EXT-SD(removable). I believe trying to install from internal has caused issues in the past

Doesnt recovery automatically default you to /sd-ext/ though? I did it yesterday and it definitely started me off on my external.

Everything is up to par. I'm going to rename the file and see if that helps.

As far as I know it does.

[cmorty72]

Well renaming didn't work.
Going to format my sd and see how that goes.

Ok, keep us posted.

Hoping someone can point me in the right direction... I am on the Xmas JellyBean Leak and when trying to apply the update Blur_Version.98.72.8.XT912.Verizon.en.US.zip I get an error:

assert failed: apply_patch_check("/system/build.prop"....

Installation aborted.

Not sure what is wrong. Any ideas?

Thanks

I had similar issues, I had to use Matts 1.82 tool to go back to Christmas JB leak, then after I finished that I went thru with the Matts newest tool 1.9, and also used the re-root in the 9.1 tool and everything worked. You need to make sure you do not have anything from safestrap still on the phone even the folders need to go. I also removed my Titanium Folder too.
