Is there anyone that can help me out, I have a LS980 to which I changed some things in the build.prop when attempting to unlock the phone. I wasn't successful in the unlock, to what I know I changed everything back to the way it was supposed to be. My phone worked just fine, until the update for ZVC OTA came out, I tried to install but it would fail. I thought it could have been because of root so I un-rooted my phone but that wasn't the issue. I did a Hard reset and no luck. I gave up, So now I see that the ZVD update is out and I went back at it. This time trying to sideload with adb. It said I needed to install ZVC first, so I tried to sideload ZVC zip through adb and says error "system/build.prop" has unexpected contents. Installation aborted. So the question is, is there anyway I can get a stock build.prop for my phone? if so how do I get it on there? Please someone help.

Hi,
I just noticed this was ready to download on my phone today. I downloaded and went to install, but the ClockWordMod Recovery doesn't let me install the update saying, "Image Verification Failed". I assume the problem is that the phone is rooted, and searching through the forums I heard this update isn't really anything big, just removing some German apps or something.
Is there anyway I can stop this update from notifying me? Or anyway to install? My phone is rooted but I'm not bothered about keeping it rooted as at the moment, there is nothing I need the phone to be rooted for. So, either way is fine for me.
Thanks!
If you want to unroot it, just flash generic ruu, more info here http://theunlockr.com/2010/06/07/how-to-unroot-the-htc-desire/
Than simply check for updates and update it
Or wait for few hours for rooted version of this rom
Hi!
I have a branded Desire and installed the update via Recovery. I had to disable the verification to do that (Goldcard inside). But all I got was a boot loop and my phone was derooted. I tried much (e.g. delete my data) and after a couple of hours I found the simple solution: Simply install the update again. Then I rooted my phone and restored the NANDROID Backup I made before I started the update because all of my data was gone.
Then I installed the Update again and this time it worked at the first time. All data was still there. I rooted it again and everything is fine. Don't know why my phone got a boot loop after first try but second try was perfect!
My suggestion: copy the zip from the download folder to the SDcard (made to a Goldcard!!!!) root and to the PC. Just if you need it more than once. Then make a Backup in the Bootloader. Then Install the update via Recovery. If anything goes wrong install the update again!
Got the OTA today. Bog stock not rooted. update failed. After about 30 minutes a retry download button appeared. Pushing it doesn't do anything. Is there a minimum wait between update attempts? Any other ideas?
Same thing happened to me. I have waited 3 days for a repeat but to no avail. I rooted it and installed a custom ROM with the volume fix update in.
http://twitpic.com/7oody4 this?
Mine failed too... mine was just rooted; nothing else
I got the little Android logo with a !
Rebooted again, no update appears; so I decided to just put the update myself.
Twitpik link is broke. Didn't fail during reboot though. Error msg is right in the system update page. The dowload progress bar is grayed out and it says dowload failed instead a percent progress and there is Retry Download button lower right but it doesnt seem to do anything.

Mine downloaded automatically over night, and asked if I wanted to apply it when I woke up at 6am. Twitpic should work btw, I just looked at it
Mine even said it was downloaded AND verified, but still failed
Rooted on stock rom with CWM.... Without the stock recovery it can't install. Just jumped to a new Rom with the update....I have always hated the auto updates..lol
Is there a way for me to apply this update by itself? Even if I don't have stock recovery? Is it possible to re-set recovery to original without wiping the entire device?
Mine is rooted, stock ROM, CWM recovery.
OTA re-set itself and installed correctly overnight without me doing anything. Not sure why it failed or how it resolved it but it's done.
If you're still having issues try this

Basically its links to the patch (OTA) and how to root/return to stock with a link to the guide on xda

I eventually received the update. It downloaded and asked for a reboot. I agreed and the phone counted down, then shutdown, but didn't startup. I waited and waited, the power button would not respond, so I removed the battery, and put it back in. It then started up, but still on the old ITL41D software. What did I do wrong? And what do I do now? Is it normal for it to fail to start up aftrr the reboot? Will I get another opportunity?
Sorry for all the questions, but I'm super frustrated

Is your phone rooted? If so, I would look at the comment above yours with the link to the patch (and instructions) to flash it manually. If it is not, it will likely allow you to retry in a day or two.
Hope it all works out for you.
EDIT: I just tried flashing the patch manually as per the prior instructions posted and it didn't work. It gave me "Error (Status 7)" and aborted the installation. Although, right when it rebooted back into the home screen, it came up with the official OTA update again. I'm hesitant on trying it again, since it's likely to fail due to whatever reason caused it to fail the first time.
Either way, this is getting aggravating. I really wish there was an easier way to get this patch without needing to lose root and having to re-do things all over again. I have done a TiBu batch run of all of the stuff I need, but still...oh well.

Don't think I've ever seen an OTA which left root intact. This occurs when the OTA sets the permissions recursive for the whole directory /system/bin to 755 removing the setuid attribute on the /system/bin/su binary.
The binary will still be there, but will have to have the setuid attribute added back, chdmod 4755, which will then return root.
Does seem odd Google allows the device to be unlocked, but yet unlocked devices get root access wiped. If they claim to want open source and open devices, perhaps they could script an exception for root access and not remove it with every OTA.
Normally, when Error status 7, or any other recovery error, we're in a custom recovery with adb access and can pull the log at /tmp/recovery.log or /cache/recovery.log and examine what caused the issue as more output is stored there than presented on the screen to the user.
Perhaps googling this recovery error code or grabbing the open source from AOSP will show generally what causes it.
Does seem odd the issues other users have had *automatically* cleared themselves after waiting a while.
First idea which comes to mind is perhaps the original OTA had a bug in the scripting and they were slowly replacing and pushing out the updated OTA.
Keep us updated! I'm on the samsung version of ics so I'll probably have to manually push over all the images...but good to keep up with the *official* route.
When trying to install my update, I get signature verification failed in recovery.
Any ideas?
EDIT: Flashed the recovery posted in the Image on Googles site.
Fixed the problem for me.

Not technically official, but a MUCH easier way to get the patch and keep all of your settings and root can be done using the slightly modified stock ROM from bigxie (link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1372376)
If you clear just the cache and dalvik, then flash this. You get the patch, SU, and busybox, without losing all of your settings or data.
Worked great for me. Hope that helps!
Like the title says, I went back to stock and unrooted my phone. I got a message from Tmo today that an update for my phone was available, but on trying to update, the phone just sits at the "checking for software updates" screen and nothing happens. Any suggestions on how to fix this?

Kies.
Yep use Kies to update. Worked perfectly and then just reroot.
Have your tried going into stock recovery (after unrooting) and doing a factory restore? If the option is present, you may alsi want to wipe your cache. Hope that helps.
I am having the same issue as OP. Was rooted by CF auto root plus triangle away (deleted after use). Always stock ROM/recovery. Got OTA update notice so delayed it so I could unroot first. Checked temporary unroot option in SuperSU, no luck. Chose permanent unroot, no luck. Deleted SuperSU, no luck. Ti Backup confirms not rooted. Kies doesn't show update available and selecting upgrade through Kies tools menu fails as well. Do I need to clear my cache (which I have never done). Don't want to wipe and start over. Need to learn how to do this for future updates. I thought my basic root method would allow updates with little effort. Am I missing something? Thanks in advance.
I wiped cache and still no luck. It tells me update available and when I say install it just sits on checking for updates...
Hey OP, did Kies work for you? I installed the most recent Kies and it wont even finish connecting with my phone. God I hate being a noob at this stuff. I don't have a clue why this update wont happen or Kies wont connect. Im using the OEM USB cable. Everything says official and nothing custom. Somehow, T-mobile update knows I was once rooted or something. WTF
I should of tried OTA rootkeeper but too late now.
Any advice??
Kies finally worked. No idea what was different from previous 10 attempts...
Any suggestions how to go from TWRP back to stock recovery and keep root? I can't use the Toolkit since it's missing the stock recovery Tar file...
I received the OTA ZVB update today, and I tried to install it using the standard OTA procedure. The device started applying the update, but it failed at about a quarter of the way through (the icon turned to a tipped over Android with a red triangle) at which point the phone rebooted and no changes were made.
I am rooted, and I have done the shutter fix (I deleted the camera_click.ogg and turned the forced shutter off in the build.prop). Besides that I haven't changed any system files. I tried replacing both files with original copies, and the update still fails. Is there anything I'm missing when it comes to updating to Jelly Bean? I was pretty sure you can update on top of root (although root will be lost) or am I mistaken and need to unroot to apply the update? Like I said, the only modifications I have done are 1. Rooting 2. build.prop edit 3. Deleted camera_click.ogg. I have reverted the build.prop and the camera_click.ogg.
Is anybody else having this problem? I searched and didn't find anything similar.
Any help would be appreciated, and if possible I would prefer not to factory reset because I have apps and things I would like to keep (I could probably back them up with Titanium though); but if that is the only option I would consider.
[You never said if you were unlocked or not, but this might be an option for you. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=38558967&postcount=1
Theres a link from there to a stock zvb zip if you can use it. I'm not too sure you're gonna be able to save your stuff.
edit. If I were you, I'd unlock, run the stock zvb zip, and call it good. It's probably your best option
Ive had the same issue, tried everything including unroot. ended up reseting phone and reverting back to zv7 using lgnpst and updating software that way and it worked fine.
This is what I decided to do

This is exactly what I'm doing right now. So far so good, I just finished installing the ZV9 update so one more to go. I'm crossing my fingers that this will work. Also, interestingly enough I didn't lose any of my files which was a huge plus!
I have been searching for hours to no avail. Does anybody know of a way to restore stock recovery over twrp? I finally got around to rooting today with ioroot and used autorec for twrp, but almost immediately after doing so ZVD update hit my phone. I want to take the update, but don't want to do a full tot restore if I don't have to.
I don't know of a way to flash the stock recovery over TWRP. I would imagine somebody has figured it out. But I do know the OTA's are extremely sensitive and they check for more then just the stock recovery. Back when the ZVC/B update came out I hadn't even flashed a recovery yet, just rooted, and I unrooted and took it and it didn't work. So I'd copy all your belongings onto your computer, make a back up and copy it on your computer as well. TOT your phone. Update. Then come back later and put your files back onto your device and use Titanium backup to take your apps and data off of the backup you made.
Maybe somebody else know of a different way. But you can brick your phone taking an OTA with system modifications, and that will be a whole lot more work than rooting and flashing a recovery again.
Good luck! :good:
Oh I know its a lot of work. I got this phone from a guy who took the zvc update while rooted and it was stuck in a boot loop with download mode unavailable. Fortunately the great resource that is this forum had the information available to get it going. I would like to not do that again. I have everything backed was just hoping to find a way around it.
Thanks for your reply.
