The bundle only had a bunch of firmwares in one folder. I guess the uploader deleted them.

Are you on custom kernel?
If you are, it will try to change it back and will fail.
Just ignore the update (you can freeze update center if you are rooted, so you won't get that annoying notification.)

yes, i m on custom kernel. How to go back to the original kernel ?

Flash the ftf again and don't exclude anything, but uncheck data option under "wipe" in flashtool.

Problem is still not solved still unable to update .

If you've flashed that firmware, there shouldn't be any more system updates available. What did you exactly do?

 

[jk9711277]

First i download : C2104_15.3.A.1.17_Generic.ftf (India)
then flash it using that file thats it.

Actually my guess is that you need to install FTF which is device specific. This means that you are installing a ROM which has different network basebands than the one you are flashing. You can try installing a different one or skip basebands/radio in flashtool to see if that helps. Good Luck

Which device is yours C2105 or C2104 ?

 

[svetliol]

Thanks. Please clarify what do you meen by "device specific"? I flashed every ROM from the first post.
