(Firefox OS Graveyard :: General, defect)

Attachment: logcat-error.txt

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; Intel Mac OS X 10.10; rv:37.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/37.0
Build ID: 20150415140819

Steps to reproduce:

Flame device, via cable applied successfully Base image v18D.zip and then via shallow_flash.sh latest nightly (3.0) of b2g and gaia (I've tried several different nightlies from several days).
Everything works well and as expected, until first nightly OTA update is available next day. Then...
I accept update, it is downloading, then extracting and


Actual results:

it is taking really really long and then it ends with errors (see attached logcat) and the same update immediately is available to download and apply again (adb shell cat /data/local/updates/0/update.status  contains "pending"), however, it always ends with the same error (see logcat), when repeating. On the device there is still some space left:
adb shell df

/mnt/media_rw/sdcard     3.8G    75.3M     3.8G   4096

I'm able to shallow flash newer version, but OTA is failing again and again. Why?


Expected results:

I expect to OTA update finish successfully with restart/apply in the end.
Please, how can I fix it - delete/edit something or change permissions?
Thx a lot, Marek

Looking at the size space in the bug you wrote, it seems similar to bug 1155704 (which we had recently).

Looking at your log, I see :  I/GonkAutoMounter(15835): Mounted /system partition as read-only

Do you know what base build you are on?
If you are on linux or mac, you can use this python script : https://github.com/Mozilla-TWQA/B2G-flash-tool/blob/master/check_versions.py or this shell script : https://github.com/nhirata/B2G-flash-tool/blob/master/check_versions.sh to show the gecko/gaia and base build (bootloader) you are on.

Sure, here it is:

Hrm.  If I'm to duplicate your issue, I think I would have to flash the contributor version of the 18D build.  I will need a couple of days to confirm this.

If you have the 18D_nightly_v2 version installed, I think you wouldn't have the permissions issue. At the same time, I fear that it doesn't keep your profile.  the build can be found here : http://cds.w5v8t3u9.hwcdn.net/v18D_nightly_v2.zip (reference webpage : 
https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/Firefox_OS/Phone_guide/Flame/Updating_your_Flame#Base_Image )

As a side note: I am working on getting a new build out, I am blocked by a font issue that I wish to have in the build before releasing:
* Bug 1154072 - respin of contributor facing build : 18D_nightly ( v3)
** blocked by font issue : bug 1150449

Thank you. You're right, it is working with 18D_nightly, as it seems.
Previously, I had this one installed, however, device went crazy from time to time and I seek stability with 18D stable ;-)
Wish you luck with new build...

Thanks, Marek, for updating the results.  Closing this as fixed via flashing the 18D_Nightly.

FYI, OTA is currently not going to get you to today's build due to bugs that caused some regressions. 

I backed out of two patches today.
