"Update Failed" and a solution

[Niall_]

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 & 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.

i need help i have a skype

[perro93]

if I go into the cache there is nothing but an image so even if I put the file, the problem is not solved.

The single is expected to solve the problems of those minecraft

[dictioncracker]

Thanks this work able to play again ^,^ for those having issues make sure u click link on post for the jar file and put it in the cache folder then rename and run launcher

[Popcorn]

Anyone know if this will be fixed so we don't have to do this? also so you can play the yogbox or hack/mine.

[perro93]

why some work and others do not?

answer

[freakachu]

holy crap you two, the solution works you guys are most likely doing it wrong. judging by your google translator english, I'd say it's because you can't understand the instructions. regardless of the reason, spamming this thread is not the answer.

[perro93]

dictioncracker tell me your steps?

[Buggy008]

i did exacaly what it said and it didnt work.

[perro93]

spam?

if I do not answer, of course I keep writing

I do not have anything in the cache of what you say

[Buggy008]

sorry freakachu can you skype me and help me

[Jorcer]

spam?

if I do not answer, of course I keep writing

All you guys are doing is making this thread longer by say "it doesn't work! oh noes!". This (in my books) is spam. If it doesn't work, go back and double check to make sure you did everything correctly.

[perro93]

I do not work that way, can you help me?

or too much to ask?

[freakachu]

sorry freakachu can you skype me and help me

no, I can't. I also won't. look, if this is not working for you, you likely have other problems. there's more than one cause of this error, but this fix only addresses one of them.

I will tell you again: if this did not work, you have a different problem. posting repeatedly on this thread will not help you. it will only get you kellered.

[dictioncracker]

skype = dictioncracker1 send ill help people but only for awhile before i remove the temp skype account.

[perro93]

I put the jar in the cache folder is the same but I get always update failed.

What do I do?

[Popcorn]

Presumably whoever hosts the minecraft.jar (note: the Technic launcher doesn't get them from Mojang) must have accidentally updated to the latest minecraft.jar, tekkit only uses minecraft 1.2.5.

So is there a way whoever did that can fix what they did wrong?

[perro93]

but you have finished report to hell I'm trying to figure out how to work the game?

[freakachu]

technic does not host the minecraft.jar, the launcher gets it from mojang, just to clear that up. us hosting the minecraft files would be blatant piracy and get us in all kinds of trouble. the issue seems to be more related to the launcher not being prepared to deal with 1.4 existing, this happens every time MC updates.

edit: yes, things are very picture.

[Niall_]

Can the people who are having problems with this solution copy and paste the contents of their most recent log files? You can find the logs in .techniclauncherlogs and the most recent will be the log file with the largest number.

To everyone else: if this fix doesn't work for other mods, you will need to find what version of minecraft that mod requires and download it, following the same procedure but renaming for the updated version. E.G., if your mod requires minecraft 1.3.2, you could use the url: http://assets.minecraft.net/1_3_2/minecraft.jar and rename the jar file to minecraft_1.3.2 - this method should work for most main versions of minecraft.

[Buggy008]

your offline

[Jorcer]

your offline

MY offline? What about it?

[IIamghostt]

Still works just fine, fixed everything for me, couldn't be happier, thanks mate,

[Popcorn]

I am fairly confident I did all the instructions to this solution, my av is all turned off and this still didn't change anything at all when I tried to download the tekkit and technic launcher. Of course I really want to play the Yogbox right now but I will have to wait for that I guess.

Holy crap sorry if this is to long

ok thanks and solved only through dictioncraker.

A never seeing more

because here we do children continue to report a person who needed help

[Niall_]

Well it seems this solution should fix your error Popcorn, could you try going to your cache folder again and renaming the minecraft jar to "minecraft_1.2.5" and see if that works?

technic does not host the minecraft.jar, the launcher gets it from mojang, just to clear that up. us hosting the minecraft files would be blatant piracy and get us in all kinds of trouble. the issue seems to be more related to the launcher not being prepared to deal with 1.4 existing, this happens every time MC updates.

Then I apologise for stating otherwise, Mojang was not in the mirrors.yml which is where I assumed the minecraft.jar was being retrieved from. I shall go amend the original post.
