Hey, thanks for the responses, the update notification for "System update downloaded, touch to install" just came up again, so I am holding off on that until I am able to access those install logs.
I am a little apprehensive about rooting the device (fear of making a very expensive paperweight). Is there a good site to use as a guide for rooting it?
Hmm, if you are not already rooted (I wasn't sure before), then this just continues the puzzle and mystery as to who and how non-rooted devices are getting OTA installation failures (because, theoretically, you should not be able to change things that the OTA verification should care about).
If you are not rooted, then your bootloader is probably still locked. Rooting it would require unlocking which would wipe your device .
Also, if you are not rooted, I don't believe you'll be able to look in the /cache/recovery folder to view or grab the files I mentioned about. Classic and frustrating catch-22 :banghead:.
I'd have to review this thread for what other posters (especially the non-rooted ones) have reported which files/apps were issues (LatinImeGoogle keyboard app, etc.). Then, I'd see if you have the option in the Play Store app to "Uninstall updates" for these guys--that might revert the app to a prior version which might allow the OTA to actually install (it's very hard to tell, of course, if the OTA does not report which files are mismatching).
