error updating RSS feed, email and calendar

About 2 weeks ago my Droid X running Gingerbread, stopped updating RSS feeds, email and calendar but other apps/widgets seem to work fine.

 

If I go in to the RSS feed and try to subscribe to a new feed I get the following error message, "Can't add news subscription now. Try again later."

 

Also noticed that Check for update gives "Check for update is not available at this time. Try again later."

 

My thought was to try to manually reinstall Gingerbread.  Followed instructions found on other forum sites but when trying to reload GB from recovery I get the following error:

 

"Installing update...
assert failed: file_get.prop("/system build.prop", "ro.build.fingerprint") == "verizon/shadow_vzw/cdma_shadow/shadow:2.2.1/VZW/23.340:user/ota-rel-keys, release-keys" || file_getprop("/system/build.prop", "ro.build.fingerprint") == "verizon/shadow_vzw/cdma_shadow:2.3.3/4.5.1_57_DX5-18/110410:user/release-keys"
E:Error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip
(Status 7)
Installation aborted."

 

I am trying to avoid a factory reset of the phone but would appreciate any help/suggestions that anyone has.

hmm.  what do you mean "Manually install?" That is not supported and possibly is a violation of TOS  ... Might be time to bite the bullet and do a Factory Reset.

Hello tjoreilly,

 

Thanks for providing your experience on refreshing the RSS feeds on your device. Based on the information you have given and what Cody21 previously stated, I recommend as factory reset also. Before doing a reset, I suggest verifying that your contacts are saved on Gmail and/or backup assistant and calendars are backed up on your Gmail account. This is  to ensure that your personal info can easily be restored after the factory reset. Any digital media, like pictures and videos, will be saved on your memory card & won't be erased unless you wish to do so.

 

Once the reset is done, try to access and update your RSS feed to your preference to confirm that the issue is resolved. If so, please respond to this posting so other can benefit from your experience. If not, then feel free to elaborate on your experience after the reset so we can further assist. 

 

Thank you...
