Background:
I have an unbranded desire, which I rooted using Unrevoked 3.
For some reason, my phone says it's up to date, though I'm still running android 2.1.
Problem:
I downloaded froyo from the net (tried two versions, one which is 86,491kb and one which is 92,262kb), I tried updating using the recovery option, but I always get the following error dialogue:
"Install from sdcard...
Finding update package...
Installing update...
assert failed: file_getprop("system/build.prop"
, "ro.build.fingerprint") == "sprint/htc_supersonic/supersonic/supersonic:2.1-update1/ERE27/195459:user/release-keys" ||
file_getprop("/system/build.prop", "ro.build.fingerprint") == "sprint/htc_supersonic/supersonic/supersonic:2.2/FRF91/218634:user/release-keys"
E:Error in /sdcard/update.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted."
If I enable the signature verification it fails with a signature verification failed error.
I'm going crazy already trying to update, would be glad to hear any suggestions,
Thanks,
Joel
You CAN'T upgrade on a rooted phone with the OTA update
Your choice is unroot and suffer the buggy OTA Froyo rom or rejoice and install a custom rom that has many fixes for Froyo already applied

what's the best and most stable ROM and how's the best way to go about installing it?Cheers BTW i've got a rooted Desire which is unbranded and unlocked original.Just got it rooted today.
See the other thread where I answered this question but you should try Neophyte 1.6 which is the best Froyo Rom imo or Pays Rock Solid if you want a great 2.1 rom.
I had exactly this problem here is my thread

Hope it helps
why so many of you suggest Neophyte 1.6?
Hai..
My First Post
I bought a nexus one from my friend.. It was rooted(boot loader unlocked).. Lately new update for android 2.2.1 was pushed and it failed at verifying signature..
I kinda like OTA update. Is there anyway i could go back to some firmware where i could get OTA.. If that's possible could anyone guide me through..
1) I flashed the firmware to 2.1(stock as said in the site) and tried to update to 2.2 then the update failed at assertion error
2) then i flashed to 2.2 stock(non rooted).. Then i got this verification error..
I flashed it using the easy methord downloading the zip to sd card->Recover->zip from sd card..
Hi,
I have 4.1.1 stock on an rooted and unlocked gnex.
I received yesterday the notification about the update - but it failed. I tried installing it through the bootloader and I get:
assert failed apply_patch_check
and it aborts.
how to I install it ?
Thanks
Rooted, stock ROM.Whenever I try manually flashing the OTA update I get an assert failed at /system/android_policy..
I thought I was rooted and unlocked but lost it on reboot. However, I am on BOG5. I'm trying to update to 5.1.1 but I get an error message of "error 7 error installing zip file '/sdcard/update.zip'
The zip I'm using is the safe upgrade BOG5 to PA1. Am I missing something dumb?
Any help would be appreciated!
edit--Looks like the file can only be flashed in twrp which I have now lost.
Stupid easy fix--flashed full firmware and pit--duh!
