[Q] Can't Update to 2.3.6 !Help! Bloatware removed

[alcatel444]

Hi Everybody,
I currently have 2.3.5 stock (non-deoxeded) rooted rom.
I removed alot of the bloatware ( i can't remember which ) .
Now when i try to upgrade to 2.3.6 it starts very well and the progress bar goes to almost 1/3 of it's width then i get an exclamation icon and the device restarts normally and when the phone completely boots up it tells me update failed.
i know this can be fixed by restoring 2.3.5 fxz but i am afraid of doing so and also lazy so is there any easier way of doing this?

Thanks You in advance

Laziness is why America is turning the way it is.

You'll have to flash the fxz. This has been covered in several posts across quite a few threads. The search button really doesn't take much effort.

Lol.

Dude, just re-flash. Easy as pie.
Why not wait till on of our Dev's put this in a ROM?
Then your set.
If you do flash back to stock and then upgrade to the 2.3.6 don't forget to do forever root.

I don't understand why you have to keep the bloatware on the phone to update it anyway. I'm just taking a guess at this but you could probably contact motorola to see if there is away around it. I'm probably wrong though.

It is not Moto you need to go to, it is AT&T, it is their bloatware. The updater is performing checks, during the update, to see if the packages exist where they should, so that they can then be updated, it is a requirement since these are just patch files, and you can't apply a patch file to something that is not there, so the update script bombs out and will not continue.

AT&T and Motorola both assume if you made changes to your phone that you know what you are doing and that you "voided" your warranty and don't want the updates. If you call AT&T or Motorola, they will tell you too bad so sad, you modded your phone, you are now out of warranty.

I figured that was the case. These carriers love bloatware that most of the time will charge you a additional $10.00 a month to use its service.

Oh Finally i am on 2.3.6 update :
Here is what i did incase any one is in the same problem.

1) Restored the FXZ ( noobies guide here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1396650) be very patient will flashing and never touch your device until it boots to system and yes it will reboot a couple of times or maybe the screen will go off and on a couple of times ( don't get scared like me ) also the last step 20/20 takes a while and after this step don't unplug it still does some stuff

2) Rooted using 1-click root ( found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1327741 )

3) "VERY IMPORTANT" Used 4ever root method found here http://droidmodderx.com/bionic/maintain-root-through-any-update-bionic-with-forever-root/ ( Yes it works for us too ) Credits to Jim for letting us know about this.( post #5 here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1477656 )

4) Rebooted ( i don't know if it's essential but i didn't know how the 3 lines i added in the above step worked so i rebooted maybe they executed on boot)

5) Installed OTA update (Settings >> About >> System Updates )

6) Congratulations now you have the OTA 2.3.6 updates rooted device

Please use the THANKSbutton if this helped you

Im sorry but I don't see how sitting on your butt all day pushing buttons is a hard days work. I work in construction. Sometimes 10 12 hour days. Just because your not from America and u hate where u live and are envious. dousnt mean u should hate on people that are from America, making fun of America. No offence to web designers or programmer's. I believe it is tiring work. But not to the point where u come home so sore u just wanna die! "Not literally"
