Yes, I've tried it several times with many reboots. I even tried to have it do the unroot process, then attempt root again and got the same thing.
I even made the attempt on two different computers, but that didn't make a difference. So the problem lies within the phone somewhere.
Just flash system.img from the fastboot files and then root, it's the same update anyways.
So I must be doing something wrong. I've tried unzipping and dropping the file into the sdcard folder and the sedcard-ext folder. Is it supposed to go into the phone's memory?? I thought it said to drop it on the SD card.... geez I'm lame.
I'm pretty sure it will only allow updates from /mnt/sdcard (which is the internal storage) and not from /mnt/sdcard-ext (which is your actual sdcard). Is that where you put it?
-SR-
Yep, I put it in there first, then the -ext, then tried it back there again and it never worked. Guess I'll just need to wait a few days...
This happened to me on a few occasions. Run PSouza's temp ADB root. ABD shell to the phone. Remount system as R/W. Remove the su binary from /system/bin and /system/xbin. ADB push the su binary to /system/bin. CHMOD the su binary. Reboot twice. Run superuser.apk on the phone and it should see it has root and prompt to update.
For some reason /system/xbin doesn't always work; at least 2 phones have had this weird issue.
Sorry for lack of detail. No access to my documentation ATM.

Not sure on how to do a couple of those things, but I will do some searching and try to find out. If you get a change to give me a little more detail, that would be great.
Thanks for the response, I appreciate you taking the time.
No problem. I'll try to get to my computer, but it will be a few hours. Meanwhile, everything you need is in PSouza's tool in the support_files folder.
PM me or just reply with your status and I will try to assist.
Start by going into a command prompt and CD to the support_files folder. From there you can run ADB shell to get connected to the phone. Do you have a # prompt when you connect?
Keep me posted!

Hey, I'll be damned...worked like a charm!!
I knew about the support files with psouza's tool, but just needed to figure out a few of the basic ADB commands.
It was pretty simple once you pointed me in the right direction.
You sir are the man...and I really appreciate your help. Thanks again.
Glad to be of assistance!
FWIW I PM'd you a step-by-step.

15The update was pushed to my phone today, don't know if its available for everybody or if its rolling out in baches, but I have the file and I'm not signed up for the soak test so I'm assuming its official.

just unzip the rar
don't know if anything is different but there it is
YES you can root afterwards1
you don't have to unroot before the update but you will have to root afterwards
I rooted before the update but I didn't remove bloatware, if you did it will probably fail. you can replace your deleted bloatware with PetesMotorolaRootTools1The MD5sum is the same as the leak from last month, meaning it hasn't been touched since before it was leaked. Also means all the same fixes and issues are present.
