It seems like a lot of people are having this problem, myself included.
I have to did this three time in order to get it done. The first 2 tries failed with "update is invalid". Only after i did a factory reset then it allowed me to proceed with no problem. Weird. |

I still haven't managed to update. Anyways, I looked around and found that you can check the type of error ot is by going to /cache/recovery and open the last_log file in a text editor. At the end of the file it would say the type of error you're facing when trying to update. If it is simply some missing or frozen apps then you can just replace or unfreeze them. Mine say verification failed and I Google but to no availed just yet. We'll see if anyone comes up with some solution. All the best.

Just successfully updated to stock 3.1 today. So far no problem yet (& rooted immediately too)
Failed initially because forget to restore back to stock recovery image from CWM & unroot. All data n apps still there  |

Recovery is the folder, there is a log in there. That's the one you wanna check out.Added on July 8, 2011, 1:58 amUpdated successfully at last. Restored recovery image and unrooted. The update went smooth.can't really really feel that much of a difference in speed but the GPS lock is way way faster. This post has been edited by NeWsauCE: Jul 8 2011, 01:58 AM |
