Dear xda,
I have HTC Sensation unbranded, unrooted with software Android 2.3.4 having software version 1.50.707.2.(Pakistan/Asia)
I just downloaded the ICS 4.0 update with HTC Sense 3.6 having System upgrade version 3.32.707.10(304.85 MB).
Right after downloading I selected to install the update....Phone booted....started the upgrade process( i guess extracting) and within 20 seconds i had red coloured rectangle.... I pressed the Volume Up+Power Button to get into Android Recovery and tried installing the update from SD card.... It failed as well giving the (Status 7)... and nothing else.... I rebooted the phone and now the Update file has gone.....Right now downloading the update file again...
Any ideas what could have been the problem?
Open for suggestion.
Regards!
I followed this thread,
downloaded latest march 25th link for my XE and it worked flawlessly

Hope that helps you too.
You need to be S-OFF if you want to manually flash an OTA file, but it should work fine OTA if you're 100% stock (this means you HAVE to have the stock recovery - if you have CWM it will not work)
Out of interest, what is the OTA file name?
Dear EddyOS,
I received the following OTA.
OTA_PYRAMID_hTC_Asia_WWE_3.32.707.10_R-1.50.707.1_release_251591ls4g359w5atckzzw.zip
Last time I installed OTA 1.50.707.1 which removed all the data on the phone. I have not installed CWR as i was waiting for ICS update.
I read somewhere on xda that someone format the SD card and then placed the update file back.. and i got installed. I see no reason to do such.
My last action would be to wipe clean the SD card as well as factory reset the phone to get started from zer0.
here is the installation message i see when i press the Volume Up +Power button, once stuck at red triangle icon.

Talked to HTC Support via Web Chat.... They suggested to Format the SD card with Fat32 and try to install.. did so and no new result.
Other option suggested by HTC Help is to factory rest... which i did... downloading the OTA ICS update in process right now.
I'll update with new findings.

The reason it's failing is it checks that all apks that were part of the RUU are 'stock' ie havent been modified. It looks like your Maps.apk has been altered in some way.
I had flashed a new battery icon when I first got the phone and when I came to update it failed as SystemUI.apk, Framework-res.apk and com.htc.resources.apk had all been modified. Took a week of head scratching and late nights to get over this problem. I eventually extracted the stock files from a clean install, restored via cwm, replaced the offending files using Root Explorer and then ran the OTA update. It was the only way to keep my data as the OTA changes the hboot and removes root. Im now waiting for Revolutionary to update so I can have nandroid backup again.
As above, sounds like you've edited/changed the Maps package
Damn it... formatting SD and resetting to factory default didn't help either... still the same problem... same error message Status 7.
Now i am clueless what to do next
Mr_Erratic could you guide me through for the process you adopted..

same thing..
I ve same problem please help me..
I have got the same problem here. Difference is that I have rooted my HTC Sensation. I do have the stock rom though.
Yesterday my phone told me that there was an update available (android 4.0). So I downloaded this update, but it won't install. I get the android with the exclamation mark.
I do not know much about this kind of stuf, and neither do I know what information is relevant. What other information should I post?
hlp
My sensation is rooted too...hw can i solve the problem....please help...

hey Stabbler, you can check if it is Maps.apk which is failing the pact at the first place.
when you see the red triangle, press volume up+power button... see the installation log...
i guess that there is something wrong with the FOTA..
I down graded my HTC Sensation with software version 1.35.707.1 by wiping clean the sd card and phone(Rest Factory Data)
upgraded it to 1.45.707.1
The upgraded to 1.50.707.1
Neither i rooted my phone nor i install any apps from Market(didn't register the phone with gmail id)
downloaded the ICS update from scratch... and got the same annoying error "Status 7" caused by failure of Maps.apk
I've done everything by the book..... no help whatsoever.
Waiting helplessly

simplest way to un-root your device is to Factory Data Reset
Alternatively, you can try Android Recovery Manager to download your Stock ROM and flash... it is quiet simple as well... But you'll have to download all the updates to date afterwards.
I have an HTC One S, rooted and unlocked. I downloaded CM10, attempted to update to it, yes without wiping(my fail) and sent the phone into a bootloop. In my attempts to fix I lost the ability mount the SDCard.
I did this to fix the SDCard and it worked - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1630459&page=12
I have tried to do the RUU update to bring it back to stock but it failed with error 171, USB Connectivity lost so I abandoned that idea. I did play with drivers, HTC Sync, reinstalls and registry cleanups all to no avail. This is the process I wanted to follow but no luck.....http://www.htconeforum.com/forum/ht...e-your-htc-one-s-back-100-stock-relocked.html
When updating with CM10 it installed VERY quick, like 20ish seconds. This seemed very fast so I thought maybe a different ROM would work and I went with Dark Jelly http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1848100
No matter what I do I am stuck in the bootloop. Looking for any guidance available of things to try. I have searched all over and tried the solutions that make sense but to no avail.
Fixed
So I did this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=33857020&postcount=2181
delete that file and it booted right up. Have not looked at the Dark Jelly rom to see fi it has that file too but that may have been the issue with the other ROM as well.
Summary - CM10 contains that file that needs to be deleted before upgrading if you have hboot of low versions...I know, not very descriptive but its all in my posts above.
nvm, you got it.
hi there everyone,short time reader,first post after searching and not finding the help i'm looking for.need a little help with a xyboard 8.2.i did the dan rosenberg root method and deleted a couple of things that i never used.i got the one item back in,but now i can't do the update that verizon pushed to the tablet because of a evernote(one item i deleted) problem.i have re-installed it and it will update on its own,but i can still un-install it since it doesn't see it as a pre-installed app.had i know this would be a problem,i would have never rooted the tablet and just left it alone.it work's out perfectly for me while traveling and when i was using it at work to multi-task on the tablet and laptop using the hotspot feature.i'd like to get the update installed so i can have the option to close out the app instead of it still running in the background,along with getting all of the new features of the ics update.
now here's the part that will cause some problems,i don't know much about androis os,so if anyone can help me,please treat me like an idiot so i can understand what i have to do to get things back to the way they were so i can do the update,or it there is another way to somehow push the update through in another way.once i get everything working again,i will leave the device un-rooted so as i don't have this problem again in the future if anymore updates are pushed to the device.thanks in advance for any help you guys can give.
here is the error message i get after the update has failed to install doing it ota:

I don't have experience with Xyboard 8.2, but one thing I think you can try is factory reset your tablet. Follow these simple instruction :
1 - Make a backup of all your data, you don't want to lose family pictures and your music
2 - Go to settings
3 - Go to security
4 - If I'm not wrong there's an option called "Restore Tablet to Factory State", which is what you want
5 - Do it

I never tried it on a Xyboard, so I can't tell if it really works or if it will completely brick your tablet (which I think it won't), I wish you all the luck
Cheers,

thanks,tried that a couple of times already.it did reset everything,but it wouldn't re-install the original evernote pre-installed app,so it still won't let the update go through.
After system magically repaired itself (which no-one could apparently give me an idea how) I still wanted to try to install the stock recovery.
It's a Huawei Mediapad (S7-303u model 301u build) that I put ClockworkMod Recovery on.
After trying a bunch of different ways I could find to put the zip rom on it CWM kept telling me it was starting it and 1 second later it said installation aborted.
So for the hell of it I tried the Cyanogenmod 10.1 I wanted to try and THAT worked!
It put Jellybean on it and the apps I had left were still there.
Bad thing? WIFI apparently won't work now. It keeps trying to turn it on but never does. And the wifi advanced settings keeps defaulting to Europe standard and Auto frequency selection
instead of letting me keep it on US standard and 2.4ghz frequency.
So I tried again to put the stock Huawei rom in. Same thing, installation aborted.
Tried to use fastboot update method. IT says android-product and android-info not found.
Anyone have an idea what I can do to either....
1 - get the wifi to work
2 - how to get the stock rom back in
or
3 - If I can install Cyanogen 11 over it because supposedly everything words on that rom. Maybe the wifi will work with that along with KitKat improvements. Maybe, because wifi was supposedly working in cm10.1 too.
Does anyone have any ideas?
Also, what is kept in the devices root/firmware folder? Is that where the devices original firmware it shipped with is kept?
It's been almost a year since I got a used perfect condition nexus 5 . It's been great until lately on and ano rood 5.0 and 5.0.1 updates where I wasn't able to install any of them. It downloads and all but when it's around 1/3 completed of installing it stops and say error in cache /update.zip (status 7) and then I have to reboot. This is the regular update that phones do. Not the sdk update that you manually do.. please help thanks
You are not 100% stock...
root? custom kernel? other mods?
You can go through the below thread, this is discussed a lot of times. Unless you're fully stock, you will not be able to flash the rom directly.
