I am rooted via Revolutionary. I am an absolute newbie After seeing your post, I let the phone try to apply the update. Could not get into the phone fast enough to delete the file when it failed I booted to Revolutionary and wiped the cache. The phone came back up fine. Pretty stupid on my part So, to get the update, do we have to load the whole base ROM with the update included? If so, it may be time for me to experiment with different ROMs.

 

There's another thread which said to rename com.smithmicro.DM or freeze it.

 

Well today I went to leave for work and grab my phone.
Within seconds of taking it off of the USB/Charger I see that Android with the explanation mark.

I'm like "WTF is this???"

When I got to work I peaked online using a PC and found this thread.

Whew! I deleted /cache/fumo/OTAPkg.zip like PillPusher said within the measly 10 seconds from boot to where it shuts down again to install the update.

I of course have ROOT with the usual mods recommended to go with it which stopped the install evidently.

Glad to get it going after just an hour or so. Thanks guys.

 

Oh bummer!
Looks like Verizon pushed their updated to my phone again this morning!
The alarm went off at 7AM as usual.
I turn off the alarm, unplug the USB cable and walk away.

A few min later I go to pick it up (it's 7:08 as I type this) it's got the Android with the exclamation mark.

So I just now selected WIPE CACHE PARTITION and rebooted.
Got the notice that the update failed and let it boot up.

We'll see what happens.

 

I just want to chime in my thanks. I had to do the same thing this morning when I woke up to that beautiful error screen. So thanks for finding this solution this quickly. I do want to ask though, is there a way to disable automatic OTA updates? I cannot find a control for this within the settings, and google's failing me on this.

 

Mine has done the same thing 4 times now. I've been scouring Google this morning looking for a way to disable OTA for the meantime. I did see another post though, that offers a modified version of 605.9 for those who are already rooted. Since this is my first post on this forum, needless to say I'm trying to figure out how to apply all of this.

 

Can you link us to the post?

That may be something to do so we get the updates.

I got the error again this AM.
I just did the cache wipe and rebooted.

Just now it gave me a message about how it was about to download one.
It gave me the option to defer it for 5 days.

 

[HOW-TO]Downgrade to get S-OFF after updating to latest OTA 2.11.605.9 - xda-developers

 

Been using this solution I found on line it does work it shows the update fails. use a root file explorer like Es file explorer and rename system/etc/security/otacerts.zip to otacerts.zip.BAk, this will cause the install to fail

 

People this is why we have the "all things root subforum. There's solutions readily available for these types of problems!
