"Update Failed" and a solution

Niall_ · October 25, 2012

IMPORTANT NOTE:

IF YOUR LOG HAS LINES LIKE THIS IN IT

Downloaded 'minecraft.jar' matches MD5 of version '1.4.2'.

[10:14:21] [sEVERE]    Starting download of 'null', with 3 trie(s) remaining

[10:14:21] [sEVERE]    java.net.MalformedURLException

THIS FIX WILL DO NOTHING FOR YOU AS IT IS A SEPARATE ISSUE

Launcher Version: 1.0.2.0

Operating System: Win7

Java Version: jdk1.7.0_07 (64 &amp; 32bit)

Antivirus Program: None.

Description of Problem:

While updating through the Technic Launcher, it will attempt to download minecraft.jar 3 times and fail with the message Update Failed!. After checking my log files I can see that the problem is that the minecraft.jar files it attempts to download do not match the md5 hashes of what the launcher has.

A solution: download Minecraft 1.2.5 from Mojang directly (url: http://assets.minecraft.net/1_2_5/minecraft.jar ), rename the file you just downloaded to minecraft_1.2.5 and place that file into your .techniclauncher/cache folder. - NOTE: If you're on windows and have enabled file extensions to be shown (the default is that they are not shown) then you will need to rename the file to minecraft_1.2.5.jar - do not do this if you are unsure. - NOTE: If you're using Internet Explorer, it will download the file as a zip file which will require you extract it (usually right click > Extract), you could alternatively download the file using another web browser such as Firefox, Google Chrome, or Opera.

You can find your .techniclauncher/cache in %appdata%/.techniclauncher/cache on windows, and in ~/.techniclauncher/cache on most linux distros. I believe the same folder would be under /Users/USERNAME/Library/Application Support/.techniclauncher/cache on OSX but I cannot confirm. - NOTE: For OSX the folder may simply be called techniclauncher without the leading period.

Have you tried tying your legs to a ceiling-mounted industrial fan and meditating whilst simultaneously juggling and consuming large volumes of deep-fried butter?

Probably not. I suggest trying that!

Ashzification · October 28, 2012

Maybe the butter was just that good.

If anyone is still having issues with this fix there are one of two, or both, possibilities:

1. You're doing it wrong (most likely problem)

2. You have a different issue and should post your own report.

I will gladly ridicule the crap posts for some free entertainment.

Valkon · October 28, 2012

It seems the deep-fried butter was also an effective anti-aging solution.

kingofthings8 · October 28, 2012

THANK YOU! I watched so many videos and none of them worked. They went into WAY to much detail. It worked! I have a Mac OS X so it also workes on here.

Liath Hidson · October 28, 2012

I don't know if it's been said in this longlong discussion yet, but:

In ubuntu, for those who are new at it (like me) the ~ folder that Niall mentioned in his awesome post is the home folder. If you can't see the .techniclauncher folder inside your home folder, press ctrl-H to show hidden folders, and then follow his instructions exactly

pokemon_freak · October 28, 2012

How do I get on Hack/Mine through the Technic Launcher?! HELP PLEASE!!!

Ashzification · October 28, 2012

You follow the same directions provided in the post.

jerred12343 · October 28, 2012

Jorcer · October 28, 2012

Are you a friend of jake1498?

I am not feeling creative atm so I'll just quote Valkon here

Jorcer · October 28, 2012

THIS FUCKING DOES NOT WORK I TRYED EVRY POST AND NOTHING HAPPENS IT STILL SAYS UPDATE FAILED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11

If you had read every post you would have seen that this is not the only solution and that I and others have said to read the COMMON PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONS sticky and then post a bug report.

Captain Lemonz · October 28, 2012
