Root Need help installing update (sprint)

[louiedog]

I've been unable to update my Sprint elite to ZVF from ZV9. I get the error in the below image when I try. I'm running the stock ROM with some pre-installed apps removed (Google Play Movies, Sprint sports/video apps, etc.) but nothing that should be dangerous to remove. Just that bloatware stuff. I got the same error both with the original recovery and with CWM.

I don't care that much about anything in the update, but it wants to download 40 MB every so often and that's a bit annoying. I also have an issue with multiple apps where some videos will not stream, but I can download and play them just fine. I have no clue if that's connected, and doubt it is, but figured that info may be of use if it's something that I screwed up.

Any ideas?

That is a safety check they put in to make sure you don't try to install this update on the wrong phone. I had the buildprops a little bit off in the CWM v5.x.x.x, so this check fails. You can fix this by either installing the CWM 6.x.x.x or by removing that check from the first couple lines in the updater-script inside the zip file.

Thanks. I'll give that a shot.
