Ran the update and it worked like a charm........ Thanx for whoever made it available to us and for those of you that are still having problems, make sure you name the file update and not update.zip...... Once I made that change it worked as promised!

So now name it "update" not "update.zip"?

Nothing has changed.... if your file browser does "not" show extensions, then don't add one... "because its already there, you just can't see it because you have your browser set to "not" see them".. if you add one, you will have two extensions of .zip and the install will not see the file as its only looking for a update.zip.... not a update.zip.zip

Remember.. just because you can't see the extension.. its really there and the install process sees it too.

No one is changing the rules of how to install.... its just that people are messing with thier files and can't see the extensions "a very bad practice because if the extension gets altered, that determines which app tries to utilize it"

Ok, I'm not even close. When I change the name to update, it isn't downloading. It says "Cannot download. The content is not supported on this phone.

i'm passing this info along because I couldn't figure it out myself and I wanna help anyone who's suffering the same confusion....

you need to download an APP called "download crutch"... let's you download files with no APP association... this is what I was missing.

The facebook issue seems to fix itself and then reappear... I still show a verizon market tab.

where did you download the update from?

Update.zip worked for me.

Thank you for the quick response to my post. I'll try it now.

you shouldn't be downloading this directly to your phone (if you can help it). download it to your PC and copy it to your SD card.

if you need to download it to your phone, you don't need to install additional apps. just turn off the "allow unknown sources" in the application settings in the main settings screen. be sure to turn if off again after done.

To the people with the Downloads tab, where did you get your update from?

I got mine DIRECTLY from the Google website and I still have the Verizon tab. I even cleared the cache of the Market application and still the tab is there.

Ok. I don't think I've seen this one discussed. As far as I know I'm following the instructions perfectly. I named it update.zip and not update.zip.zip, I've downloaded the file from different links and different browsers and have tried it from the computer and all on the phone, but I get the same thing every time. Here's what I get:

E:Can't open /cache/recovery/command

-- Install from sdcard...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
Installing update...
Verifying current system...
assert failed: apply_patch_check("MTD:boot:[tons of letters and numbers]")
E:Error in /sdcard/update.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted.

Help would be appreciated. TIA.

Just change the name of the file to update that worked for me

I downloaded mine from the Google site as well, yet I have the Download tab. Interesting....

 

[Dragoro]

I still have the verizon tab.

 

[twistedrotors]

Got my update from the Google site. The OP's instructions worked perfect and my phone is now updated.
Scrolling through webpages is much jerkier, that bugs me. I also still have the Verizon tab in the market, no download tab. Haven't done much else with the phone. Are there "patch notes" somewhere out there that list the major changes this updated made?

And please can someone check languages on the phone after update, is there any more than just English and spanish ?
please
Thanks

Still just english and spanish.
