Rooting Dinc2 with 2.2.1

[GreenAcid]

BTW - If I go into recovery, it tries to update, and then Red triangles out. Normal?

Do you still have a PG32IMG.zip on the SD card?

 

[GreenAcid]

No. I do not. Deleted it long time ago. And did a factory reset of my card when I factory reset. I Went to recovery to Wipe cache like someone suggested, and it came up to update, and then red triangled on me. and I had to do Up and power, it kept saying "Failed can't open E" and then finally went into Recovery

When you boot to hboot, it gives you the options to choose fastboot, recovery, factory reset... etc right? You go to recovery and it tries to update something? There shouldn't be anything unless it partially downloaded the update on its own and it didn't finish.

Try the factory reset option from hboot once more and then boot the phone. Don't manually check for the update. Let the phone run for a few hours and see if it pops up on its own. It may be trying to download it already when you checked for the update and that somehow caused it to fail. If it hasn't after a few hours, then try it manually again.

 

[GreenAcid]

Oh. I didn't factory reset from Recovery. Should I have? I did it from inside the phone settings

 

[ABQNM]

Try it from the fastboot screen. It should do the same thing, but I have head of instances where the one in the settings menu did not completely wipe it.

E: can't open /data/cwpkg.zip
E: can't open /data/cw/prop
E: can't open /data/cwpkg.zip
E: can't open /data/cw/prop
Formatting /cache

Data wipe complete

Not sure if that's normal.

You don't still have the phone connected to your PC, do you?

 

[GreenAcid]

I did lol. Should i unplug and run the wipe again

 

[ABQNM]

Yeah. If connected to the PC some partitions are not available to the phone to wipe. You may still get those errors though. iirc there are few that are normal.

 

[GreenAcid]

crap. because I Wiped it both times while connected to the PC. ugh. let me do it again.

 

[GreenAcid]

This time i noticed there's no actual bar that comes up while it says "Updating software from VZW"...it just says it, then Red triangles

 

[GreenAcid]

sigh. Still said those errors after I did it.

Gonna give it a few hours and see if the update comes in on its own. Post back here if you run into "SERVICE UNAVAILABLE" so i can call verizon in the morning.

Thank you for all your help. I hope i get to 2.3.4 soon and the updater working, so I can sell it and the person doesn't try and back ball me and say it won't update lol.

 

[ABQNM]

No problem. Sent you a PM as well.

 

[GreenAcid]

Wanted to post back. Didn't work. 24 hours later, no update. Verizon said they have to "Push me" the 2.3.4 update, because The phone is trying to find 2.3.4 to update to the one that came out in December. and it could take 24 hours to 2 weeks. *shrug*. Least I got a Nexus.
