Help! - Can't upgrade radio

I am trying to install 2.2 but i can't get past the radio update.
First i rooted my incredible with unrevoked3 then realized i needed to update the radio. So i followed the directions from this forum to upgrade the radio to 2.X from a rooted phone. I installed the stock BP31IMG, downloaded the dinc_ota to my SD, renamed it to update.zip and booted to recovery. Upon running the update it gives the following messages.
Finding update package

assert failed: apply_patch_check("/system/lib/modules/bcm4329.ko . "f6c9098e3fd8e6caef864f35090043561987e9f8")
E:Error in /sdcard/update.zip
(Status 7)
Installation Aborted
I formatted my SD and downloaded the dinc_ota from a few different sources but i still get the same message.
Anyone have any ideas?

Downloaded on my pc and transferred to phone. Are you saying i must download it using the phone?

If you cant do it through your PC try using your phone... Go through the Google Account Setup then download Astro File Manager.. Download the OTA update through your phone from whatever source, then use Astro to rename it to update.zip ; then just go into recovery and apply it.

I think you have to apply the first OTA that everyone received shortly after launch that fixed exchange issues prior to applying the radio update.

Yep thats what fixed my issue with it
basically the order should be:
if rooted run PB31IMG.zip
complete the setup process on first boot and run Verizon's first (and only right now) official OTA update that you will receive
rename dinc_ota.zip to update.zip and from the stock recovery update the radio
from there reboot and you should have the new baseband
Note: apparently don't run dinc_ota.zip more then once or you can brick the phone, so be careful, however the failed updates you have been doing i dont think count cause i must have done that at least 4 times lol
follow the official instructions here:

Did you go back to stock then apply the radio update zip or did you already have the first OTA from about 2 months ago then flash the new radio OTA?

Come on PPL - Hasn't anyone encountered this and figured it out?

I'm applying the radio update now. It seems to be working. I did not get any error and it's going through the green arrow over the phone screen now. I just went to stock then ran the update.zip from recovery.
Make sure that you rename "dinc_ota" to update. Then boot into recovery and then select "apply update.zip"

If I flash a factory recovery, will the OTA update take?
Can I not simply reflash ClockWork after the update?

Im pretty sure it will take if you've got factory recovery. It doesn't seem to be as secure as the vaunted froyo update was.
And yes, you can simply reflash clockwork, but from bootloader, as a PB32IMG.zip
S-Off is wonderful.

When you get the update nag, you ignore it, flash the stock recovery, which I am in process of getting now, then apply the patch, then reflash Clockwork.

I'm still pretty new to this, how should I go about getting the stock recovery and flashing it? All I've done is use Unrevoked and Unrevoked Forever, then install ClockworkMod via Rom Manager, so pretty much everything has been done for me :/

I've asked in a couple places for the stock recovery. If/when I get it I will post a short how to.
I just don't want to lose everything on my phone to get this update.
I did a NAND backup and installed the update manually and there are several improvements I would like to have, such as significantly reduced charging time. But right now, without a custom ROM, the only way to get it is the RUU, and that wipes the phone.

I am stuck at the bootloader not finding update.zip
any ideas?
stock 2.2 rooted s-off
I am assuming that you can't just apply the update.zip from clockwork because it fails to find the stock apps (which it is trying to update, such as AppSharing, and Flickr, etc.) that I removed.
p.s. step 7 is worded in a misleading way, although I understood what you meant. (reads like - rename the deleted file)
thanks for your help

Having this issue with somebody else. I'm not sure if you can name it PB31IMG.zip or not, but you can try. Worst care, it doesn't load that way either.
I'm helping somebody else with the same issue right now, but his phone is totally hosed up, so I'm taking him back to stock 2.2 first. He has a good Titanium backup, so he won't lose anything.
If anybody else knows why the loader might ignore an update.zip please let me know.

Okay, I have confirmed that you may perform "install sd/update.zip" from ROM Manager. It does work.

I'm still confused; do I have to have the stock recovery to do this?

I am not sure of these steps because I have read the threads from here and the post you put on Android forums as well and both threads are mentioning some issues.
Some posts state payload-update is unneccesary.
Some posts state that these steps are failing.
The post I am most concerned about states that "Rooted STOCK ONLY" means you can't have removed any bloatware either before doing this update. I have several apps removed, do I have to restore them before I take these steps?
Also not sure why folks are asking if they must have stock recovery. The instructions don't say anything about that.
I have noticed that the nagging has stoped on my dinc however if I go to the about update section in setup I find it states that the update has been successfully downloaded and is ready to install. Will this try to install the next time I boot the phone or is OK to boot?
Edit: Forgot to mention Some posts state that the process fails and you have to wait a few hours to continue, that's confusing and not in the instructions.
In summary
1) Do you have to re-install bloatware to make these steps work?
2) Is payload-update really necessary? What does each install in these steps do?
3) Does the process fail at some point if you don't allow the device to sit for a while, if so what step should you let it sit? It would be nice if someone understood this part also, anyone have a possible reason for this requirement?

I was asking if stock recovery is required because I've been told that OTAs won't install correctly if you don't. I was wondering if that still applied.

I got the update notification tonight and I clicked for it to install, and it counted down from ten seconds and said it was going to reboot and install updates, but it never did reboot. I'm guessing this is because I have unrevoked recovery? My gf's non rooted phone did get the update tonight as well, and hers installed without a hitch.

Rooted, Stock 2.2, S-off, Clockwork; some bloatware removed
Install initiated through clockwork halted on vznav.apk, so I'm guessing it needs the original bloatware. I know that I should have backed it up but I guess my hatred of VZ pushiness got the better of me. Anyone have a work-around?

[Q] EVO Update Not Working - OTA 3.70.651.1 - Rooted Evo

I am trying to apply to OTA update I got today, but for some reason it crashes half way through un-packaging the installer. Is this because I am rooted? Anyone else having an issue with the update?

It just came up on my phone and asked if I wanted to download it. I did, and it ask if I wanted to install. I clicked yes. It rebooted, got 1/4 of the way done with unpacking and froze up. I am guessing that its conflicting with the rooting. So I can't install any updates or I will lose root?
I don't think this update does much to anything I use.

It was mainly radios and and pri update with new software update. And yes you will lose root. You can just install a rom that is based off this ota if you really want it.

Then you can just download a rom that has it included and then pull the apk from the rom.

You NEVER want to take an OTA from Sprint if you are rooted. It will cause complications like that which may cause you to have a corrupted ROM. Always update to a ROOTED OTA. Check my stickied post in Q+A at the top. You will find the link to the stock ROOTED 3.70.651.5 version you can update along with any PRI and Radios.

[Q] disable OTA-Updates?

Hello,
following situation: I have 4.1.1 installed on my Nexus and also CWM running on it. As you may know an update won't work with CWM. At the moment I'm too busy to update to 4.1.2 but my phone keeps annoyingly telling me that there is an update available...
ROM: stock rooted
How do I disable this?
thanks a lot!

That's not totally correct. OTA updates will work fine with CWM, just not automatically. When you get the notification you can just reboot into CWM and flash the update zip (it's in /cache).
I realize you were asking about not getting nagged until you have a chance to update, but I thought I'd mention this anyway in case it helps when you do have time to update.

So that works?! I'll give it a try! Thanks for this information!
Edit: Unfortunately it's not working :/ I copied the zip into a folder of my SD card and tried to apply the zip with CWM... not working.

On a related topic, I'm a cheapskate and would like to get OTA updates via wifi instead of using my data plan.
Can I stop the OTA downloading until I accept it?

Unfortunately just saying "it's not working" doesn't really give me much to go on, so I can't really offer any advice other than to make sure you have signature verification turned off in CWM. It definitely works because I've done it lots of times myself. If you can provide any details on what's actually happening I can try to help further.
Also, make sure you use some method to keep root... either something like OTA RootKeeper, or just flash SuperSU (or whatever your favourite superuser is) after the update.

What Steps Do I Take To Update From 2.19.40.20?

So I've stayed at 2.19.40.20 because I wanted to wait to see if a better way to unlock the bootloader would be found, but I've given up and unlocked my bootloader (the unoffical way).
I want to get up to speed and update to the latest OTA.
Can I just flash the latest one or do I need to download every one til the newest update and sideload them individually?
If I have to do each one can I just load them one after the other, or do I need to reboot the phone and let it fully load to the OS for every update?

I did side load the latest one when I was coming from the 18 something that came with my phone. Loading the full 1.1gig firmware did the trick.

So just for clarification, to take me from 2.19.40.20 to 2.20.40.139 I should just flash the latest Stock ROM from the ASUS site?

You need to unroot and make sure you are sideloading the whole 1.1 gig one.

Does unrooting include removing Xposed?

Yes, and don't try to install it after you get to 139 firmware, as far as I know it still causes bootloop.

Wait, if I flash the 1.1 gig stock ROM, do I lose everything in the internal memory?

I did a little digging, and it seems that the bootloop was fixed a few days ago:

Good to know. No, you would not loose anything, at least I did not. Everything migrated over without any issues.

So I've gotten through sideloading the current version with no hiccups. Booted into system fine, it's the right version in the About section, and my internal memory came through intact.
I've flashed TWRP, and booted into it to install SuperSU when I got this message: "TWRP may have detected an unmodified system partition"
It explains that I can keep it as read only and make it easier to take official updates, but then TWRP will not be able to stop the stock ROM from replacing it and will not offer to root my device.
Should I keep it "Read Only" or should I allow the modification?
