Description:
Flame updates will download, and appear to uncompress before finally failing and displaying an error pop up at the bottom of the screen.

It is possible that the device is running out of space in the /system folder.  Using the following command, i was able to capture the free /system space as uncompression failed.

|while true; do adb shell df /system; sleep 0.5; done;|

From IRC discussion with nhirata_, it is also possible that read-only is getting applied to early, also causing the update to fail (seen in attached logcat)

<nhirata_> at the same time what it does is unzip the mar file and then replace all the files.
<nhirata_> so it basically needs the space of the download + the same amount of space to unzip.
<nhirata_> so we either slightly bloated some more...
<nhirata_> or it's the read-only being a little too quick

Repro Steps:
1) Update a Flame to 20150706010204
2) Connect to a WiFi or Data network
3) In Developer settings, change the OTA channel to 'nightlytest'
4) Check for updates and then begin installing the update.

Actual:
The update will will download, but will fail during uncompression

Expected:
The update uncompresses and is applied properly.

Getting a regression window is complicated for this issue.  Bug 1153976 was occurring around this time and prevents me from getting a smaller window.  I kept with Nightly Central user builds because when switching to builds such as the pvt central engineering builds, they had wildly different dates, and are not representative of what I expect a user would see (going from an engineering build to user build through an ota update).  One thing to note is that the our builds and update files seem to be growing significantly in the last couple of months, and we've seen other problems such as with bug 1181188.  

For example, the builds currently on the update channels show a 12.4 MB difference with less than 2 months apart.
nightly channel - build from 5/21 - 76.08
nightlytest channel - current build - 88.48

I've included the results of using the "adb shell df /system" command after flashing to each of these builds.  Of note is that both gaia and gecko grew during this window and I could not update from EITHER build after performing swaps because of this growth.  The Gecko portion grew the most but I am including both pushlogs because of this.

Basically, I did my initial analysis.  I'm not 100 % sure where to go from here.  We need a dev to look into this.  Gregor, do you know who deals with updates?  I don't think it's a partition size issue any more.  I could be mistaken...

Lets see if Alex has some time or Dave once he is back.

Spoke with Alexandre.  We didn't change the partition size : 
https://github.com/mozilla-b2g/device-flame/blob/master/BoardConfig.mk#L9
see proper size listed in: https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1085230#c12

When I repacked the camera, I used the partition size mentioned in the code not the size in the bug.
Alexandre is writing a bug in regards to the partition size in the code; I'll have to go home and fix the build for the partition size and then resubmit to T2M. I will try to take care of this sunday.
Flags: needinfo?(nhirata.bugzilla)
Internal test build : https://drive.google.com/a/mozilla.com/file/d/0B_0LdM1CVycIZEdOZ2ZFTzlFc0k/view?usp=sharing

Once this passes internal QA, We'll pass this to T2M to host again.

Difference is system partition size was enlarged from 390 to 419 MB
IS this still an issue?

Everyone will need to update with this version.  Data will be lost doing a full flash.
The important flashing are the system.img and the partition.img

if you are already on 18D, then it's possible to get by with : 
fastboot flash boot boot.img
fastboot flash system system.img
fastboot flash partition gpt_both0_big.bin

At the same time I take no responsibility for the settings and weird conflicts you may get from having an old profile if you only flash the 3 parts.

I flashed the above build only. My data was lost of course (I expected this) but it worked fine. The Region, Date and Time settings in the FTU didn't show up though, I had to set those afterwards.
So I backed up my profile, flashed v4, shallow flashed nightly build from 2015-07-07 (because that's what I had flashed some weeks ago and the profile backup/restore tool wouldn't let me restore a profile to a device with a previous build than what was backed up), and finally restored my profile.

All seems well except my marketplace app is missing from my home screen, this only happens after I restore the profile, so that's the cause it seems. Any chance there's a way to get it back without having to give up my profile?
NVM my previous comment 13, easy to go to https://marketplace.firefox.com/app/marketplace/, I must have missed that before somehow.

I can verify it's fixed, I did an OTA from yesterday's build to today's one (20150729030209 to 20150731030207)
Fixed by releasing a new base image with a new partition table (the system partition is now bigger).
