Can't Update MZ608 to ICS

[cool_recep]

Hi guys,

I have an Bootloader unlocked MZ608 with 3.2.2.

0.268.4.MZ608.Retail.en.EU
1.6.0_268.4-MZ608

When I check for the update, I get 77.128.14.en.EU notification. I download it and say update. The system restarts and the update comes to a degree but then it fails showing up Android with exclamation mark.

I have downloaded Blur_Version.0.281.4.MZ608.Retail.en.EU and copied it to SD card. But I can not get into recovery mode to instal that too. When I try to get into recovery mode I get exclamation mark followed by a restart.

BTW, the device is MZ608 32 GB but it shows up in Motocast and device manager as MZ609.

What is the procedure that I should follow?

Thanks

I can't get into the recovery. I get an exclamation mark.

Thanks for the reply.

Thanks for the reply.

That wouldn't work as your Xoom 2 ME is not from Latin America and Motorola has different signatures for U.S., Europe and LATM...

What are you trying to do to get into recovery?

Have you tried to turn on usb debugging and using ADB to enter recovery? Just type adb reboot recovery and it should reboot into recovery, it will take a while, you should see a Green Android after about a minute, and then you can press VOL- and VOL+ to get the list of options... If that doesn't work, then it is likely that something is wrong/corrupt, I would recommend that you check if there is a SBF file for the Honey Comb distribution for your region and flash it using RSD Lite to restore everything back to stock... I know of at least two friends that had failed updtes due to corrupt files in /system (they did not pass the OTA check meaning that they are different from what is expected or they were deleted).

Also, you didn't try any of the recent hacks (safestrap/bootstrap recoveries), right? If you did, then I believe you would have to revert those hacks, or just flash the device back to factory condition using a SBF / RSD Lite, just remember to choose the right SBF file for your region, otherwise, device won't even boot.

Good luck

To get into recovery, I boot up the device with Vol + / - pressed. An dthen choose recovery and press vol +. The tab reboots and after about 2 minutes, I am in the middle of nowhere....reboot and the OS comes..


I have flashed SBF, that did not help either...

First I flashed the original:

1.6.0M-268.4-FLEMEM_UCATBLT1UMRTCOREEU_fastboot.xml.zip

then this one:

1.6.0M-281.8-FLEMEM_UCATBLT1UMRTCOREEU_fastboot.xml

I didn't try any hacks...

Now trying adb...

Update: That didn't work either. Same... 10 seconds of red M logo, 10 seconds black screen, 4 minutes android with exclamation mark and in the end restart into OS....

Thanks for the reply.

I too was in your situation ... your device is the Xyboard mz609 to enter into recovery simultaneously press vol. on vol. down and power on, you will see a screen where you will have several choices ... with vol. down you move. with vol. on choose. if you see a triangle simultaneously press vol. up and vol. down and will go into recovery. with the device turned on you can use quick boot (from the market) to enter recovery and bootloader. when you enter bootloader you read unlocked? if it is unlocked you can have a custom recovery like me. thanks to runandhide05.

Holy! I am in recovery! Thanks man. Really appreciated!

I tried to install OTA ZIP via recovery but I got build.prop error. How to fix it?

It is something like that: (Modified some parts)

-- Install /sdcard ...
Finding update package...
Opening update package...
Verifying update package...
Installing update...
assert failed: file_getprop ("/system/build.prop" , "ro.build.fingerprint") == "Motorola/RTCOREEU/fleming:3.2.2/1.6.0_281.4-MZ608/1328264683:user/release-keys"

okay, let's see how I can help. I do not know English and use the google translator. I installed honeycomb for mz608 but I did not upgrade to ics. I then installed the fastboot files for honeycomb mz609 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1756100 and got the ics ota update. I also think that you can install ics for mz608 but only with fastboot files. sorry for my english.

 

[cool_recep]

OK. I am now downloading the honeycomb MZ609 fastboot.

Update: Flashed. The tab went into bootloop. Turned it off and went into recovery. Done wipe. Tried to flash OTA ZIP but gave signature verification error.

Update 2: Successfull reboot this time after wipe. I have noticed that baseband version says Unknown. Should I do something for that? I don't have a SIM to try.

I'm sorry, I forgot to tell you that you had to wipe. I also unknown baseband version and I imei-meid. I do not have microsim to try, but if you flash honeycomb mz608 imei again. I do not know why, but I prefer to have ics yet. when I find the files fastboot ics mz608 then I reflash.

 

[cool_recep]

I have found the version in build.prop:

1.6.0_281.4-MZ608

Flashed it with RSD. Now trying OTA again. Baseband is back BTW. Where is the IMEI writing?

Update: No luck with updating, again. Damn. Going to try recovery...

Update 2: Tried OTA Update. Got error:

assert failed: motorola.motoflash("/tmp/bp.img")

I think I should also wait for the offical fastboot files.

BTW, my friend have the exact tab with same specs that was successfully updated via OTA. Can I backup the ICS inside it and then install that backup to my tab via custom recovery?

Also another question: Can I flash MZ609 verizon fastboot? I will replace the radio IMG from Honeycomb fastboot in order to prevent baseband brick.

To sum up:

We have two tabs in hand. One was updated to ICS via OTA and works fine as below. But the other is resisting!

Can't update via OTA.
Can't update via Recovery.
And th worst, there is no Fastboot for MZ608

Help me out guys, please

 

[cool_recep]

Looks like the baseband is the same with MZ616. Can I flash MZ616 ICS fastboot?

 

[abaithad]

Yes, you can flash the mz616 fastboot files, should work,
If it fails, you can always reflash honeycomb fastboot ones, but i think it will work.
Make sure you erase your user data at the end of process fastboot erase userdata

Flashed MZ616 via fastboot, totally bricked No charge, no screen, no bootloader... Nothing

Or maybe it is stuck in boot since when I connect the USB, I get a sound but the device is not recognized.
