Did you download the rom from here? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1038701 If not, that's the one I would try first.
It kind of sounds like you may have a bad download, either that or you may have accidentally downloaded the system dump instead of the flashable rom? With the file on your computer, are you able to open it up using windows, or does it give you an error? If you're sure you downloaded the right one and that the file isn't corrupted, then I'm not sure. What recovery are you using to flash the rom?
update to 4.22.651.2
I think its clockwork 2.0. I am using stock rom but i rooted using unrevoked. that was the site i downloaded the zip from. im going to retry, I will let you know what happens.
Thanks
If it still fails after you try again, consider switching to Amon_Ra recovery. On the whole it seems like there are a lot more people experiencing flashing problems with Clockwork recovery than with Amon_Ra.
Does this update wipe your phone or only do the update? I don't want to lose my information on my phone. Please let me know. Thanks.

It depends
If your rooted and you are flashing through recovery, then yes you need to full wipe to install it.
If you arent rooted, and you recieve the OTA through HTC software update, then no, it should keep everything the same.
But a couple people I know updated via OTA and there phone is actin real weird now. Jus a word of caution

Ok. Thanks. I am rooted.
Yeah u need to wipe, but if you got titanium backup, u can recover your apps and your phone is synced with google, u can recover your contacts, and if you dload sms backup and restore, you can recover your text messages, the only thing you cant recover is mms. But u can just save all ur mms pics.
Edit- oh yeah ur voicemails will be gone too. Unless you use google voice

I am running stock sense on a rooted phone. I only rooted so I could tether and run adfree, and actually like stock sense very much. Is there a way to install the ota without ruining my phone?
I'm wondering this, too. I'm all stock, rooted with S-OFF, removed crapware. I'm running ClockworkMod 2.5.0.5 though, and I believe I've read that OTAs won't install if you're not running stock recovery. I'm kind of at a loss as to what to do now.
Run the OTA
Reflash your recovery
Done. Re-rooted. OTA doesnt turn s-on.

Will the OTA install if I'm using ClockworkMod?
I'm in the same boat as thevoiceless, and I'm curious of the same thing; I don't want to brick my phone >.>
And is there a link to download the ota?

Um... why did you post in this thread?
And to make it stop, I found this in another thread:
Code:
Get your build.prop from your /system/ folder
edit it
put this line in, not add it but replace the line that starts like this ro.build.fingerprint=verizon_wwe/xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Replace it with this
ro.build.fingerprint=verizon_wwe/inc/inc/inc:2.2/FRF91/264707:user/release-keys
Replace your build.prop and reboot. I did it by just using root explorer, copying it to the sdcard, editing on my PC, then copying it back to the /system/ folder then reboot. It might nag you once more upon reboot, but ignore and close it and it wont ask anymore.
Thank you. Sorry I posted it here I could not find anything relevant to my problem .

Bob.... thanks a ton. As the brits say "you're a star".. just did it and everything went nice and smooth (well...except the link to the update itself... I kept getting an error when trying to apply it. Found the update on my phone and just used that)
Just did a backup... and removed the crapware again. Thanks a ton!
Can someone link to the crapware apk's? I didn't back them up before I removed them.
Bob, you saved my life. Thank you so much!
Thanks Bob, worked perfectly for me. I copied over some of my disabled apps to the wrong folder, so I got an error the first time trying to install the update. Moved them to the right folder, and the update worked perfectly!
Thanks for the info, it helped me as well! I knew being S-Off would come in handy!
Thanks Bob, worked perfectly for me as well
Question about the "** STOCK 2.2 ONLY - READ MY LIPS SUCKA! **" statement...
Does ODEX vs DEODEX matter?
I got a question regarding the link that Bob posted. in the step 13 where you need to Copy ClockWork Recovery 2.5.0.5 (PB31IMG).zip to just plain PB31IMG.ZIP on the SD root.
When I do that and boot into HBOOT nothing is happening and when i go to recovery it just shows a red triangle and exclamation point.
am i doing something wrong or what? i am S-OFF and the update installed smoothly, i didn't have any of those apps running and i didn't remove my crap ware so i didnt' have to restore that either.
newbie question
What steps would be different if you were trying to do this on a Mac?
I rooted my Incredible using unrEVOked one click root to get wireless tether, that's all I have done. I would like the OTA, but still leery of doing this until I know what is different.
I'm reading all the posts trying to figure out what would be different. Can anyone help me.
Thanks in advance from a total newbie.
So I'm in the same boat as some. I removed (through titanium backup) all the crap-ware including FriendStream. Unfortunately, I can no longer reinstall the apps via titanium so I need to know how to get them back on the phone. When I try to run the update, I always get the error that it was aborted because of FriendStream odex blah blah blah. Help please!
UPDATE!
Problem solved. I downloaded the new RUU which includes the November update and just went from there. Yeah, it wiped the phone and I had to reinstall everything but it was worth it.

I want to update my G2 to Gingerbread 2.3.3 but for some reason when my phone restarts for the update to take affect I see the little green android with the progress bar. It stops without reaching 100% and I get an installation error. Why wont it upgrade? Could ClockworkMod Recovery be the culprit?
I don't know for sure but I would think so. Manually push the stock recovery (find it on the forum somewhere) back via adb and try again maybe? Either that or just flash the entire pc10img and u definitely won't have a problem. You will lose all your data tho.

So if you have ClockworkMod Recovery, that means you're rooted.
What are you trying to update to 2.3.3 with? Are you taking the OTA? You can't do this (or really really shouldn't) when you're rooted.
If you're rooted, head to the dev section and pick up a pre-rooted 2.3.3 OTA release. You'll keep your root and be upgraded to 2.3.3 like you want.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1211143 I used this one. Its literally just the OTA, pre-rooted. No radio, just the ROM. Flash through ClockworkMod recovery. You should backup apps with something like Titanium Backup first, because its in your best interest to wipe all data through recovery before flashing.
Thanks guys. I honestly didnt know that I wasnt suppose to update/install official updates if my phone has been rooted. The pc10img ROM xsteven77x didnt work for me but the one martonikaj suggested did.
Once again. Thanks! Problem solved.

Yep no problem. Just know that when you're rooted, you can no longer take any official update. Gotta do it on your own manually with pre-rooted ROMs.

If your are rooted just flash a rooted stock rom and NEVER EVER accept an OTA you can lose root or worse taking an OTA while rooted

Tried flashing a stock rom still wont work and only reason on doing this is because my phone is glitching bad and the sprint Rep I seen today wouldn't touch my phone because they said I need the update done

download a stock rom, go into recovery, manually wipe everything except sd card (/cache, /boot, /data, /system, etc.), then try flashing the stock rom, see if that works.
You need to un root to take it in. What is your hboot version? This makes a difference in how to un root

if you really want to update just download either the ODIN tar thats in this forum or go to rootz and download the flashable zip that whitheawkx made.
Or you can download Samsung Kies (not kies air, actual kies) as you will need it on the 11th for the ICS update.
Edit: nvm somehow missed you saying rooted

If I download Samsung Kies....then what do I do...will it automatically update?? and then I will be ready for ICS....or should I just go back to Stock.....

Nvm about Kies since you are rooted. Maintenance update will unroot you anyways youll have to use Odin to flash it then unroot unless you want to flash it and stay unrooted and stock until the 11th for ICS and yes kies will ask you to update on the 11th after plugging your phone in.

Justananomaly,
Ok,,,,I guess I should go back to unrooted and stock till the 11th.
If I go back to unrooted and stock, will I loose all my data......and is there a FAQ or step my step to go back to stock
or when I get this update will this unroot me and just wait till the the 11th.
I would like to back to stock but keep all my data....how do I do this...I see outdated FAQ's, etc....anyinformation will be greatly appreciated.

Not sure if you will lose your data or not, most likely on the 11th you will anyways since it's an OS update. The maintenance update didn't wipe my data but did unroot me. But thats because I was on stock just rooted.

OK...well ihave all my data backed up....so I could just sit back and relax and let T-MO do all the updates and when done then I can unroot again.....and add what Mod I want....does this sound correct?

yes kies resets your phone to stock as in out-of the-box if u choose to go back to stock i did it to my SGSII in order to get the UVLDE and lose everything... good thing i made a backup on my PC but remember that when u flash a new rom even a stock it wipes your data thats why is always recommended to make a nandroid backup. now im just sitting here... waiting for my ICS... no root till then...
edit: that is if you really dont want to use odin wich is recommended. check here for more info: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1332103 . good luck

Nandroid is built into clockworkmod recovery. It backs up your entire partition so it's basically like having a full backup image of everything, apps, ROM, data, everything the way it is. If you just want apps backed up, and not your entire phone, sick with titanium.

Just stay rooted and whatever you are now. Chances are a dev will drop a stock rooted clockwork flashable zip of the update the day of. It will probably deodexed and most importantly carrierIQ removed.

but i'm on DDW2.7... no problem if upgrade via kies? i'm asking because i bricked a samsung vibrant t959 using kies with a custom rom :'(

I was replying to the OP whom said he was on stock rooted. I was also running stock rooted with bloat frozen. I just unfreezed, delete dalvic/cache and rebooted. Then flashed via kies, rerooted, then refroze the bloat. It's probably different/cause problems if you are running a custom ROM prior to upgrading via kies. Hope this info helps...
long time evo user, noob at the s3. I rooted my dad's phone because he needed wifi tether, but he is freaked out about accidentally applying an ota and bricking his phone. Can I disable ota checks or restore the stock recovery while keeping root? Thanks!
You can always install OTA RootKeeper and have it back everything up. I used it for the first time last night before updating my wife's S3 and it worked great.
Did you have a stock recovery or can you install the updates over a custom one?
recommended way
Is to just flash the lg8 modem posted in the development section and then suppress the update notification by flashing this http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=1244277&d=1344225893 or by flashing the legit update and flashing this after to keep root http://shabbypenguin.com/k0/ecm/TeamEpic-Root-from-Recovery-v5.zip. if you didnt modify system you can copy the legit update from cache to sd and flash in cwm

No you wont brick. And the mod only makes u look up to date so any future update will come thru as normal.
If u hit install with cwm And ur system is unmodified it will probably finish but will get rid of root thats what the root from recovery zip is for. Def no brick tho.
Thanks soo much Okay so if he just accepts an update the phone will automatically update through cwm but will get rid of root? So he has nothing to worry about except losing root if sammy sends out an ota.

Ya and thats saying that the update finishes. Worst that will happen is root is gone. If the system was modified or something dont match the checks the update does, the update will fail and nothing will change. But i can assure you, it will not hardbrick u. Ur In samsung country now lol and that has never ever happened with a samsung to my knowledge. Like i said In first post tho definatly recomend coming here for the update (usually a modem) flash it manually, and avoid the ota altogether. But hitting the install button wont hurt you.
I've found this is much easier. Zedomax has a rooted LG8 stock ROM up for download. Just flash, clear cache and you're ready to go. (note that if you have any flashed mods such as a CPU editor or the Google Now on ICS mod you will have to reflash)
