I searched around and I found misleading answers...

I am getting really annoyed at the 'update' that keeps popping up on my phone. I think I might as well install it just to get the message out of the way.

However I would like to know if anyone else has already done it, and if so, what steps did you take? Every time I attempt to install it, it gives me an error. I suspect it is due to the phone being rooted.

E:failed to verify whole-file signature
E:signature verification failed

E:Error in cache/fota/update.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.

Tried a manual install from ZTE's site.

Installing update...
assert failed: getprop("ro.product.name") == "N9120_METROPCS_USA"
E:Error in /external_sd/update.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.

This is most inappropriate.
