Update failed error going from 902 to 905

---

im running a fully stock version of .902......the only thing ive done to my phone is root and safestrap.

i tried installing .905 and it keeps telling me update failed. I uninstalled safestrap (thinking it might cause an issue)....still fails.

anyone have any suggestions? Im trying not to fzx my phone

The only way I've ever been able to get over this obstacle is to fxz. However, there are now fxz downloads that are altered to leave your data alone. Try to find one of those to save yourself some headache.

In regards: .902 to .905 update fail

---

Hi guys.

I received the .905 update OTA last night and it failed on my stock rooted Bionic. I figured it checked for root and failed so I unrooted with Pete's Moto Root Tools. Unroot was a success but update still fails. I attempted recovery from boot loader and "wipe data/factory reset" hoping that this would clear the log jam. Again update fails.
Now I try rooting again and now root fails as well!

ERROR: adb could not be granted root access via local.prop method

Try again from the start, but if the problem continues, check your version
of Gingerbread -- hopefully you don't have a version where this exploit
was fixed.

This was again with Pete's which is how I've rooted/unrooted since I've had my Bionic. Any ideas?

5.9.902
Android 2.3.4
Kernel 2.6.35.7-g83f1a47
Build 5.5.1_84_DBN-71

i havent seen any fxz's that do that....can you point me in the right direction?

it wont alter data at all?

Sorry, looking back, they say they won't wipe internal storage.

What you'll want to do:

1. Uninstall Safestrap.

2. Install Bootstrap.

3. Boot into Bootstrap. Make a backup of your phone.

4. FXZ that puppy to 902.

5. Root it.

6. Install Bootstrap.

7. Do an advanced restore, restore your data.

8. Update to 905.

jhmeyeriii, in the future, you'll make everyone's life easier if you start your own thread, rather than posting your issue in someone else's.

I started using MotoFail to root. It works on 902/905, as far as I know.

thank you so much.....ill give it a whirl when i get some free time

UPDATE!!

i realized my mistake had nothing to do with safestrap....but rather the fact i forgot to thaw out bloat apps.

update was made....im good to go.
