What does your about system show?
I got error code 7 before when I upgraded to .893 this is what I did to get it to work. Not sure if this helps as this fix was for upgrading to the previous version.

I'm in Boulder, Colorado, same here, no update yet... still stock, 5.5.893 Got my last update the morning after everyone started getting theirs on this last update. Will keep checking. Anyone heard any info on what this latest update is all about?
Odd they are pushing one out so quickly after the last one unless Verizon is finally getting the a** whoop'n they deserve for the network issues. Was an interesting thread on the reason for the drops. Have a friend that is an engineer with AT&T, of course they are loving it. He thinks it is something they (Verizon) will try to get resolved quickly as they stand to get some real bad press out of it.
Sweet. You should send your phone to me for, uh, inspection. Yea, that's it. It should only take about 17 months and I'll get it back to you.

Just a quick update: I can't figure out what has changed on my phone since I installed .901. Background - I was on .886 and rooted, then I manually installed .893 (the OTA file), and then last night I manually installed .901. Maintained root.
My camera works much better now in daylight (exposure, color sat, quick, etc.). The signal strength is basically the same as it was on .893. Other than that, I see no difference other than the new apps. Disregarding the bloatware (Slingbox, etc), the big update is the Emergency Alerts app. I had read a couple of weeks ago that NYC was testing the system, and the news reported that only phones with a "special chip" and the application would be able to receive the alerts. I suspect it was the updated radio, not a "chip." Since I didn't wait for the OTA I can't say if this update is targeted to my area (NYC metro).
This post helps not one bit toward the discussion, but there it is.

YES! My plan to get back on OTA upgrade path worked!
Where were you before you got back on the OTA upgrade path.
Haha, im pretty sure that he meant that as a joke.
Can you confirm that this was in reference to the .901 update sent yesterday?

Nobody answered my question but it seems that the answer is yes, the battery level of your phone plays into the OTA install. I checked if there were any updates when my battery was low and there were none. Now that I'm at 80% the OTA 5.9.901 is downloading. Stock phone, no root.
Yep ! Thanks that'd be great! I'll PM you my web server address. You can upload it there. I just need to make sure the 4ev3r root app has worked. I'm already rooted using pete's one click. Another story. Thanks again

You know, I do remember reading something about it being a 2-part update, probably done that way so they could keep the OTA file size down. Originally, .893 was supposed to come out in November, IIRC, and the other update "by the end of the year".
Maybe the timing on the whole thing just got so screwed up that the 2 updates pushed much closer to one another than expected?
Whatever it is, I wish that SOMEONE (VZW, Moto, I don't care who) would make some sort of public statement.
FWIW my 4G speeds have been turbocharged since manually installing this via recovery.
