so i used odin to revert completely back to stock jf6 firmware, everytime i try and update it goes thru the process of updating and stops during reboot at 50 percent and says download failed, can anyone help me troubleshoot this issue. im all ears, thanks in advance...
this seems to be happening to all of us who had been rooted at one point or another
yea this will be my fourth try. this time im going to do a factory reset and sign into the market and see what happens. i wonder if this has something to do with the jf6 zip that all of us are flashing back to....
interesting. ive been seeing a fail message as well but 3-button recovery is working now.

Can you use File Explorer or USB debug to see if there's an update.zip in /sdcard on your device?
same here. i've tried everything.
Also I should mention that you can cheat the 24 hour system by changing the clock manually to a day later... lol

Guys.. chill out - the Samsung official announcement said
"An update to improve the Samsung Captivate's GPS performance is now available. Captivate customers will receive a notification on their device that an update is available and will simply need to download the file to update their phone. The updates will be pushed to customers' devices over the next few weeks."
You do not need to check for the update yourself.
not the point. the point is, it is possible to get it now, and it's not working for us rooters :/

Well said... I'm not even worried about the jh7 update, we've had that for a while now, I'm more worried about my phone being ABLE to receive updates than anything else.

well... i backed up my contacts with kies... i'm going to completely clear everything and go back to stock...
after that i'll re-root. but i'll be sure to use the adb shell to backup the stock kernel...
Its working now for me, I also got the updated failed message and have rebooted my phones several times through the day and just verified on google maps twice that it zoomed in accurately
My phone is rooted and have every setting in ryans lag fix set...oh yeah I got the beast unleashed installed.

call me stupid, but how would I go about installing this?
im having a heck of a time getting my phone rooted again. i was running CM6.1 when i wanted to apply the repartition mods. well, i did something wrong a few times, and it broke. i have no clue what has happened, but i need help. yesterday, i was able to root and install CM6.1, but it has RA recovery, which i dont like, and no data connection without wifi. today, i ran the .7 ruu, followed the easy root method, but it seems that root manager isnt able to install clockwork recovery properly! i can get su with QtADB, so i know its there, but it simply isnt working. any suggestions or questions that i havent clarified, please ask, becuase im kinda desperate.
I went through some of these problems some time back.
I would recommend you to run .5 RUU, root using regaw's method, install ROM manager to get recovery and go from there.

is it possible to drop back down to .5 from .7? becuase the tool just hangs on "sending..." and it hasnt worked for me. otherwise, i would have run unrevoked a long time ago.
Just run the .5 RUU from your computer, it should do it... worked for me.

but it isnt working! its stuck on the "sending......" piece. see, heres how i do it. i run the .5 ruu. it sends the phone to bootloader, i get error 171, i rerun the ruu while the phone is still on bootlader. last time i did that, it worked just fine. now, it gets stuck at "sending........" and i have to stop the whole thing and do a battery pull. im really lost here, i really need to get this working too.
EDIT: i downloaded the .6 ruu and tried that out, and this time, i let it run. i didnt stop it. i got error 150, wrong bootloader version. how can i fix that?
I am sorry man... . I am not sure how to resolve that. Maybe someone around can...
BTW, were you able to run any other RUU?

i think im able to run .7 all the time, but the .7 root method doesnt seem to be complete or im doing something wrong. i just want to get back to .5, thats where i know how to do things.
EDIT: i did some more reading, and i found on android central that you cant use an ruu to flash a phone with a higher hboot than what the ruu updates to. so since .7 seems to use a different hboot then all the rest, i have to keep resetting to .7 until i can get the root to finally work for sure. there seems to be a little trial and error involved with the easy root method.
EDIT2: I FIXED IT! WOOT! i have absolutely no clue what happened there. im so paranoid now that ill probably do nandroid backups daily lol ...whew, that was tough...

Glad that it worked out.
However, about your comment of going back from .7 to .5, not sure how the hboot thing works, but I have downgraded from .7 to .5. I was having trouble with my .7 rooting and then had to RUU .5, root, recover and go that way...
Hey everyone. I rooted my phone a while back (around June), but it got unrooted during the update in July and I haven't bothered rooting it again. But now, when I try to update to Gingerbread, I always get a message saying "Update failed or incomplete" after downloading and rebooting. I noticed I still have SuperUser installed, so I tried unrooting with SuperOneClick, but SuperOneClick is stuck on "Waiting for Device". I have also tried to reset to factory settings, with the same result. Does anyone know how to fix this? Thanks.

You may not have updated like you thought. V6 should have gotten rid of root for you. I had to do a factory restore, wipe the data and image, all of it. When I went back to do all that stuff, I still had the Bionic splash screen, and it is because of that little change, that I was not able to update myself. You may have something similar going on with your phone, just in a different place. Anything beyond doing that, just ask, but it should take care of you. Make a backup first, just in case. You will have to set everything up again.

It fails. the update downloads, and reboots to install. But about half way through the installation, the phone reboots again. when the home screen comes up, a screen pops up saying "update failed or incomplete".
I had the same problem. Did you reinstall the stock recovery program? I also had the bionic boot image from revolt1.5, which was messing things up. Once I reverted back to the stock boot image, the update went through.

Apparently the update hasn't been pushed to all phones yet...there's several of us on xda that still don't have it. Jackpot08 is working on a .tot but until then, we just have to wait.
Some people have called Verizon and they can't force the update to your phone, so don't bother with that.

Thanks for the info, guess the update hasn't been pushed to my phone yet.
I have been on stock for a week now, and its been horrible. I forgot how slow this was before devs streamlined the system, and how many rooted apps/functions I used.
I am going back to revolt today. I will see GB when the .TOT is available.

Were you attempting to update to gingerbread by using the TOT? Or was there an update available though your service provider?
If you were getting a failure through the network, it's likely because you haven't gone back to stock recovery and still have ClockWorkMod Recovery installed. Use DevToolKit to fix this.
If you are using the TOT and getting a failure, do a checksum on the TOT file.
I've been working on this actively as I have a revolution. LG has informed me the update push completed on November 2. Nobody at VZW or LG can tell me why some Revolutions haven't gotten the push.
VZW Engineering has apparently been alerted, but LG has been unresponsive to me to-date.
I'm not waiting and putting together a one-package manual update kit, but I do want to give LG and VZW time to give me an update. Thing is, it's been over 72 hours now and there hasn't been one, so my patience is wearing thin.
It's disappointing that LG hasn't responded to any of my inquiries... I'm asking the right people behind the scenes.

Yeah, I'm leaning towards drafting an idiot-proof TOT guide, it's just going to be really upsetting if I have to do that. If this was Apple, and not LG, we wouldn't even have this thread right now.
Option-click .ipk and done... not that Apple would even let ~1-5% of a device "miss" an update.
So, I've confirmed a few things with LG officially:
1) The ZV7 update has not been pulled.
2) LG was not aware of this issue until I reported it.
3) LG is just now starting the process of investigating.
I can't flash a TOT on mine right now, as LG may want to capture my unit for evaluation. I'll know more soon, hopefully by Monday.
Verizon was trying to push an update on me back on the 11th. It was the V6 update, as I was running V4. It failed, and I manually ran the tot through with LGNPST. Since thecubed had posted the V7 tot as well, I ran that through as well.
I probably did not need to go from V4 to V6 to get to V7, but I figured it wouldn't hurt.
But as I said, the only push I had received was on the 11th, well after the 2nd.
As a semi-newbie, it was easier to push the tot on than anything else.
LG Engineering is at least listening... they have agreed to capture my unit and send me a brand new Revolution simultaneously.

Ok, so I can't post in the development area yet due to lack of posts, so hopefulyl someone will see this and let people know.
I was at 5.6.893-mr1 level and couldn't/didn't get the 5.7.893 update through cheesecake, so I wanted to get there and every guide I could find ended up with me getting the dreaded "Error: /tmp/sideload/package.zip status 7" error message. I just figured out how to "fix it" and get what I wanted....it will take some time....
First, go to
http://androidforums.com/bionic-all-things-root/434407-how-flash-893-update-maintain-root.html
Do everything the first post says. When choosing, use the CWR flash to 5.5.893.
This will get you to 5.6.893-mr1.
Then, hop over to
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1327537
and in the first post, go to the section "no longer needed steps" and the file:
3.)Download 5.7.893 and install 5.7.893 via stock recovery Blur_Version.5.6.893-5.7.893.XT875.Verizon.en.US
md5:e594bfcf52ae297ffb9a77b3cbb20882
Install this via stock recovery and reboot. Now, you should have a phone that is 5.7.893, but you'll notice webtop is still screwed.
So, now you can head over to:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1327537 (same thread as before) and follow all the directions in the OP.
FINALLY! You should be at 5.7.893 with a usable webtop and you can apply the hacked webtop to get it without the dock.
I hope this helps someone. I spent the better part of my work day to get this figured out. Hopefully a dev can see what I've done here and make it easier. I think the magic sauce was the CWR flash to 5.5.893 with subsequent stock recovery updates to get the radio and kernel updated such that the "one big update" file worked as intended.
Has anyone else had this problem?
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!! I tried what you did last night because of the same issues you were having and have been trying ever since to fix it. Every update I tried gave me that error message. THIS WORKED PERFECTLY for me. Thank you so much!
I just noticed that the webtop is still showing as unavailable. Should it still show like that? I don't use it anyway but just want to make sure it works in case I do. Thanks again.

The small updates to get to 5.7.893 radio/kernel breaks weptop. You now have to restore your system back to 886 which will fix webtop and then use the full 5.7.893 update which will get your system back and will update webtop, bootloader, recovery, ect...
Edit: also after restoring to 886 system using dhackers v2.1 you need to make sure you forever root again which option 1 should do both.

**Update**
I can confirm, this worked great. It seems as though you lose Forever Root somewhere after applying the mr1 patch.
I used dhacker's tools to get forever root back after mr1 patch, then used it a third time to go back to 886. and apply the full .886.XT875 to get webtop back.
Thanks for the assist....

Receiving my Bionic in a day or two.. Should I root the Bionic before I update or update then root? The reason I ask is many times the carriers patch the root methods that are used and after the update they no longer work.
I also noticed the bootloader is still locked down and is this going to be figured out?? Coming from all HTC devices I have noticed the Recovery that is used is a little different then on my Thunderbolt.
The Recovery that is used is in the Android Market and is called the Bionic Bootloader?
I will be doing lot's of reading but my main concern was the new update that has just been pushed out, should I download it before I root??
Thanks,
Vinny

I am also interested in this exact same question about what to do first. I just bought my wife a bionic and she came from a rooted Fascinate. She keeps asking me why she can't do certain things on her bionic and I have to keep telling her I'll fix it soon lol. Problem is I'm not sure if I should wait for the official update.
I'm definitely going to root because it will be her wifi at home while I'm at work.

Our update process veers of the course of the official update path. We have a method of retaining root known as Forever Root by P3Droid (I believe?). In addition, our bootloader is still locked, but we are petitioning. Hoping for an Atrix type unlock. As for recovery, since we don't have unlocked bootloader, we can't write recovery. The one you see in the market is a paid donation. There is also a free one. This allows you to flash ROM's.
We also have Safestrap for CM7 and ICS, but they are still very early works.

I see there is a new official update rolling out and my phone will be delivered tomorrow. Should I root it right away and then download the update through recovery? Coming from a long line of HTC devices I can say that Motorola is all new to me. If I accept the new update I may not be able to root it thru the current methods. Carriers are great at plugging holes. If anyone can point me in the right direction I would appreciate it. Every article I read about the Droid Bionic there are so many different methods I am not familiar with.
Thanks,
Vinny
I was going to buy the razr but I like the idea of a battery I can get at. Both phones have just about the same specs and accessories. The Locked down bootloader really sucks.
I've been researching this question all day at work, shhh lol, and I'm pretty confident I know what to do now.
Those of us who are not rooted and have not accepted the new update will need to root first using the forever root method developed by the droidtheory crew. Then after we are rooted we can update to the newest ota and still maintain root. We will also be able to flash whatever rom we would like.
This is what I am going to do to my wife's bionic so hopefully I don't screw up! Someone correct me if I am wrong.

Well I got it rooted fine, but I can't get the update to show up. I've rebooted 3 times so far and nothing. I'm currently making a nandroid backup of the complete stock rom. I'm hoping the update just hasn't rolled out yet to the South Dakota area.
Sent from my SHIFTAO5P
I was finally able to get the update. I rebooted into cwm and cleared data/factory reset. Rebooted and the update showed up. The update went smoothly and I was able to keep root. Flashed droidtheory's kinectix rom and everything is perfect now.
Word of caution: Do not format system in cwm and then try to use the reboot recovery option. It will soft brick your phone! Luckily it was very easy to fix, but it still scared the bejesus outta me!
