App won't update or install.

OK, well I have searched and cannot find a solution for my problem. Long story short bought a phone on craigslist, it had a version of ICS on it, Unknown on the version.
Problem: Phone will not download any new apps, or update any apps. When I click download and install.
It will pop up say downloading status bar, then immediately says download is unsuccessful and the status bar goes away.
Goal would to be to have my apps install and update correctly.
Flashed it to stock gingerbread version off this site. Under the software for skyrocket.
I have cleared cache on phone and restarted several times with no success.
Settings apps market clear cache and all that jazz

That link is to a thread with stock GB (2.3.5 and 2.3.6) as well as ICS 4.0.3 firmware (Odin tar links and CWM flashable zip links). Read through it... lots of good info.

Thanks! Waiting for 4.1.1 too!
Does anyone know if you flash this does it clear the entire memory or just the os partition. I have flashed many Roms before on other android devices but all those had an SD card and with the unlocking process I know the entire data was erased.

Ah OK I'll have a look into it tonight for you, its probably the updater script if you want you can try use the META folder from another ROM (nexus 7 ROM) and see if it flashes until I fix it later

It appears it not just your downloads I can't seem to flash any Roms. I tried to flash other ROM and it keeps giving me same error. It almost seems like it can find the zip files on SD card to flash and then it goes to flash and can no longer find the file. Anyone have any insight into this?
first off seems D/L is not working but I dint think there were so many issues with ROM. We definetly need a solid Stock ROM with ROOT (4.1.1), Hope its works when I flash
is this completely stock? no tablet UI dpi build.prop changes? (that's what i'm after)

Your Xoom is 3g Verizon version, stingray cdma. Just unlock boot loader, flash recovery IMG thru adb, thru which you can flash a pre rooted ROM from team eos

goo.im has been flaky since they started doing site maintenance this weekend. I have not been able to get any files off goo since last Thursday.
Since you want to go to JB anyway, you could pull the stingray_cdma nightly from jenkins and flash it.

That link seems to be working even though it goes to goo.im for the download.
Up and running rooted. Thanks a bunch for the help!

So for that you got to root your tab,flash cwm,make a backup,flash latest cyanogenmod.
Enjoy!!!!!!
Unfortunately i dont know how root this. Do you have any links on how to root this?

Having the exact same issue... others are as well. Been looking around for a flashable file, but no luck.

Thinking more and more that this is a Verizon issue. I have received it for the last 24hrs when trying to pull the JB update. Was able to pull the 6mb update just fine Sunday. Hearing the same from others, regardless of where they are in the downgrade -> root -> update process.

Have you tried contacting Verizon about the issue? I went the Moto route this morning, which was a complete waste of time.
Would it be possible to simply keep this stock rooted ics rom on stock rom slot of safe strap and then download jellybean roms and put them on the others?
Maybe no need to even take this ota updates that aren't working.

I tried this. It got me absolutely nowhere. My roommate went through this process Sunday with no problem, but for some reason as of Monday updating is not working
used RSD lite and flashed the latest JB. but obviously lost root.
Nice to be back on JB... but was hoping id keep root. Verizon needs to get their stuff together. unless someone else has a diferent method.
Did you have to have the 0.7.2 update to do that?

Same issue
I have been having the same issue. Bought a new Razr HD and have been trying to complete the downgrade/root/upgrade process since monday. Nothing I have tried has worked as far as downloading the 6mb update file, rooted or unrooted, WiFi or 4G. I have searched the internet high and low for this file, but no one seems to have it???
I also used RSDLite to flash back to 4.1.1 I did this from ICS via Razr HD Utility without the 6mb update no problems, but obviously lost root.
I hope this issue is resolved soon, because I'd really like to be on JB rooted.
Edit: I had to edit the 4.1.1 XML file removing lines containing "getvar" for it to flash. Full instructions can be had here on xda.
I am going to have to do that too. Thanks for the help. I'll search for the xml edit, not sure how to do that.

It's pretty simple. Heres how I did it.
Download VZW_XT926_4.1.1_9.8.1Q_39_VQW_CFC.xml.zip from droid-developers
Extract the file to your desktop (or wherever), find the .XML file in the folder and open it with notepad, or your editor of choice. IIRC there were two lines with "getvar" in it, just remove both of those lines completely and then save the file. Now boot into Fastboot, open RSDLite and connect your phone. Now load the XML file that you just edited and flash back to JB. Hope this helps.
If I do manage to find the 0.7.2 update file, I will certainly share but no luck so far.
Thanks again! I can't wait to get off work to do this. I'll let you know how it goes

ok, sorry, i dont get it... cannot figure out how to put the xml into rsd lite and load it.
Found the update...6mb... on another forum. Flashable in recovery. See droidrzr.com

I was downgrading from JB to ICS in order to root, but once I rooted ICS, I couldn't download the 0.7.2 System version update.
Now I go Settings>About Phone> System updates and an error message pops up says "An update is currently being downloaded. You will be notified when the download is complete." But it has been saying that for hours and I don't see it downloading anywhere.
I can't update to JB with out the 0.7.2 System version update from 0.6.25 System Version...
Anybody seen this before?

Known issue. You will have to downgrade to ICS root and then flash the two updates in recovery, the otas won't download for whatever reason.
