Root Status 7?

[Pipistrelle]

Hi Phandroid users (first post so please be kind),

I bought a second hand Huaewi G300 on ebay and I think the previous owner rooted it to its current state of B892. I am unable to install the B895 over the air update and thus not able to get subsequent offical updates to ICS.


When I attempt to install the over the air offical update to B895, I am presented with the following error report:
Checking patch files....
assert failed: apply_patch_check("/system.build.prop","ac598a5a321b37d30d1ce8edafabf2c9523b859", "9ab8f4f494af0aa256193fd0a53efdae8c30ecca")
pid=114, staturs=1792
E:Error in sd/card/HwOUC.update.zip
(Status 7)
Formatting /cache....
Installation aborted.


I would be very grateful if someone could please help me solve this issue or even just explain some of the confusing code jargon. If it cannot be fixed, I'll just chalk it up to experience.


Thank you in advance

Normally OTA updates won't install on rooted phones, because there's no telling what else has been modified (and an OTA is often a patch that only replaces code in certain places - which will not be there in a modified phone).

Try unrooting the phone, installing the OTA, then rerooting if you want a rooted phone.

Thanks for the speedy reply Rukbat

Is it just a case of deleting a certain folder to unroot the phone or do I need install a program to do it? As you can probably tell, the whole world of rooting confuses me

I tried unrooting the phone but the same error still appears. Any ideas?

Thanks again
