[Defy General] morr22066:
Defy 2.2 upgrade not installing.

When I first got my phone from best buy it was delivered by UPS late at night on a Friday

so of course I wanted to play with it right away and did not wait to go to a T-Mobile store

to have it set up. I used the sim card that came with the phone and set up motoblur over wifi.

Then on Monday I went a T-Mobile store to get a phone plan (pre-paid) and they put in a

new sim card. The rep had trouble activating it and had to do it more than once

but he did get it activated on maybe the third try. Since then I have been using it daily

and I have not had any problems other than the visual voice mail activation error every time

I reboot the phone. And when I called T-Mobile in whatever country they are in, I was told that is because I am a pre-paid customer I can not use it and that I should "turn it off or delete it".

I have installed programs from lots of different websites to try them out and see if they

are something I might want to continue using, so I have installed and uninstalled at least

100 apps or more from multiple web sites.

I was able to install the prior 2.1 "update" and my firmware version is 2.1-update1 and

I have been checking system update about once a week since then and today I find the

2.2 upgrade.

So I try to do the 2.2 upgrade and it will not install. I just keep getting the

android with a triangle and exclamation point every time I try to install it.

1) So I decided to start from scratch so I did a factory reset to get it back

to factory settings. I Downloaded the upgrade then tried to install and it only gets about

a quarter of the way then I get an android with a triangle and exclamation point. Tried

to install several times with same results. Of course every time I do the factory reset I

have to set up motoblur, activate my google account in the market, have to re-enter wifi info, etc.

I read through the forums and found the discussion "Android 2.2?", I read through it

and tried all the suggestions I found.

2) Did a reboot with "power + volume up";

bootloader 09.10

battery ok

ok to program

connect usb

data cable

3) Did a reboot with "power + volume down";

it starts up with the motorola "M" then it

goes staight to the android with the triangle and exclamation point.

I tap the bottom right of the screen and get the android system recovery screen.

I selected "wipe cache partition" wipe partition and it wiped the cache and formatted the cache.

Then I rebooted normally and downloaded the 2.2 upgrade again and again I get the android

with a triangle and exclamation point.

4) Next I did a reboot with "power + up & down volume together" to try safe mode.

it starts up, I continue holding up & down volume until it boots up and

it says safe mode in the bottom left of the screen.

I go to settings > privacy > factory data reset. I do a factory reset.

And I still get the screen with the android and the triangle with an exclamation point.

I tap on the bottom right corner and get "assert failed": apply_patch_check(" /system/appVending.apk".

(then two long series of numbers)

E:Error in /cache/blur_version.3.6.360.MB525.T-Mobile.en.US.zip
