[Q] Having issues trying to OTA update?

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.

please update us after the factory reset

no go on factory reset hopefully someone will post the zip after they get it to work.
[edit] im on the phone with dumbass at&t customer service right now working my way up to level 3 tech support.
[EDIT again..] he found some errors on their side of things that he just corrected and pushed a new update directly to my phone via OTA.

ouch, live long and prosper and may the force be with you

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

having the same problem

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?

New software update!!?!

My Nook just auto downloaded and installed an update that screwed up my device! Anyone else see this? WTF?

Does it automatically do the update? was your Nook Color rooted?

What is your software version in settings after the update?

I was using a rooted nook. It bricked it, and I couldn't get past the B&N logo on boot. I just had to do a factory reset.

After the factory reset, I got a confirmation dialog that said - "your nook has been updated to software version 1.0.0" ??? that doesn't seem like an update. Although maybe that's the factory default?

Not to be a pr*ck, but if you're still able to do a factory reset, that would mean it wasn't "bricked", or did I miss something there?
Did the unit want to auto-update again once you reset?

I guess we have different definitions of brick. What would you call a device that doesn't boot?

A
A device that doesn't boot is a soft-brick
a brick cannot be fixed through trivial methods.

As I understood "brick" means it's totally useless, other than as a paper weight or a door stop, essentially just dead weight.
I think if your device doesn't boot, but you can still recover, would be exactly that. {my device didn't boot, I had to factory reset it}

I wonder if they have something in there to detect a change to the OS that forces it to re-download ?

in the venacular, "brick" means that the device is dead and cannot be fixed without replacing hardware. If a 'simple' reset will restore the device to working order, it isn't bricked it is just in a bad state.
We try to avoid the term "brick" when describing anything else because we don't want to gve the impression that we might be saying "I just did what I read in your post on the forum and now my device is broken beyond repair".

I'm fairly certain (but not 100% positive) that FW version 1.0.0 is installed automatically when you are registering the NC for the first time (like when the OOB setup is first done). After my initial setup I checked the version and 1.0.0 was installed.
And I've also noticed that if you do a factory reset and re-initiate the device 1.0.0 is automatically installed.

I'd like to see some verification that there is new software out there than this one user's report. Confirmation?

I remember somewhere, that there was a way to trigger it, or something like that... but its not a new firmware but just a redownload of 1.0

I think this is a known issue for some users after they root. I've read it before on here somewhere and in IRC.
MBM or Pokey9000 can confirm but i'm pretty sure it's nothing to be concerned with. Just re-root and see if you have anymore issues.

Mine was updated to 1.0.0 as well but I was still able to root it and do Angry Birds though.

People need to clarify more what they are talking about here.
Did you have it rooted before it was "updated" ?

Apparently these devices were rooted. While I'm sure there's a small, very small minority of XDA-ers who don't mess with their devices, the rest of us do. From a statistical standpoint it would stand to reason that these NCs were rooted.

It will not unfreeze them. You will need to factory reset.

Okay, thanks. Factory reset is what got me in this in the first place. (Well, not the first place, but it's what I can't get out of!) is not changing anything. I still can't get any further in setup than one screen past wifi (it just continues to check whatever it is it's checking. It's not frozen and it doesn't loop, it just doesn't move on. Pressing next/skip produces a sound/feedback but doesn't move on) Oh well, it was worth a try.

If you're rooted, factory reset will not work. You will need the KDZ file to wipe your phone, which is currently in the works.
If you actually got it to boot, then you're fine. That "activating" screen sometimes takes several minutes. Just be patient.

Peeptastic said:
Thank you for helping. I don't actually make it to an activating screen. I just get one step past wifi (if I keep wifi on it gets caught in updating system. If I turn wifi off it gets caught in just a sec). It will "load" (lack of better term) for 1-3 hours. I did discover that I can receive phone calls while stuck in the screen. And I can hear when I get a text message, although I can't check it. But that makes sense if I can't factory reset a rooted phone....

Try removing battery and trying to boot again. If your phone was rooted, that''s possibly your problem.

Peeptastic said:
I'm not sure if the batter y is supposed to be out for an extended period of time. Or plugged in(?) I have done that as well as remove the sim card. No progress.
Oh and data works as well though I don't always have good reception where I'm at.

So what you're saying is that you're still stuck on that screen, but all of the phones functions work? Hm, that is very strange.

Yep! Sprint connections optimizer popped up. I was able to hit a link from there and access chrome. I wasn't signed in to wifi though. Also, whenever something closes, the screen goes back to setup. I don't have access to the task bar or the soft keys (besides back). Someone else on the forum had a similar problem and looks like it was solved with kdz. So there is hope.

I think I may be seeing something related to what you're seeing (though I'm not starting over from a Factory Reset). Ever since taking the root flash, my wifi isn't connecting to my home router anymore.
I was just about ready to do a Factory Reset to see if that fixed it, but now it doesn't look like that'll help.

During the initial setup after factory reset, when you get to the wifi setup screen can you just skip over the wifi setup? Is it possible your wifi isn't working (mine isn't either) and as long as you keep attempting to connect you'll never get past that step in the initial setup process?

i need zv4 rooted system file, i'll root the phone using the zv4 file and will do OTA , thn will get the update.zip for ZV5.
if any one have zv4 rooted system file pl share.

I've tried that. It just hangs on that screen as well. It's a google services error. Can't be fixed without more resources. (That I know of). It connects to data and still won't move on. Though my data is really slow here so who knows if there was any progress....
As for your phone, I wouldn't try factory reset until we get that tot file.... Otherwise, you might be joining the rest of us with Sprint bricks :highfive:

Can't turn off wifi toggle

has any one been having any trouble with their wifi on their nexus 6, randomly the wifi toggle will stop working the toggle will be off and it still says "Turning Wi-Fi on..." i've booted into recovery and cleared cache and rebooted the phone and it worked the first time and it's been acting up again and this time clearing the cache isn't working does anyone else have any ideas without doing a factory reset.

maybe try just flashing the system img, then wipe cache's again before booting. if that doesnt work, its may be time for the dreaded fdr.

I've never been into flashing system img & fdr? It's just sad because I had the same issue before also losing signal with my device. Til I got a replacement and the replacement device is starting to act up also.

my only other suggestion would be to re-flash. you could try just the system partition, but if it were me i would just go all in for full clean flash.
im sure Simms will get on me for saying so, but you can just grab wugs toolkit and be done in 20min or so.

Is it rooted with mods or completely stock? If stock, try deleting the saved wireless networks..

these random issues usually come from a corrupt file, either by an update or some other means. its hard to impossible to pinpoint the cause usually.
if you never flashed before, its best to read up on it a bit first. wugs walks you through the steps, from downloading the files, and drivers, to the flashing. its not foolproof, but if you follow the lead of the script, its not hard to figure out.

well i have before but that was so long ago and that was for my MyTouch and HTC Sensation but that was years ago. Now I know things are easier but I've never really been into flashing and the only reason I did back then was for updates and different version of Sense UI but since I've been using Nexus Devices I didn't have a need or desire to actually flash. Pretty much I'm a NOOB! :laugh:
but I don't see why wouldn't a factory reset fix it. even if it was temp.

clearing the cache is always a good idea, i think i suggested that earlier.
i dont know how to explain well what cache is exactly, its not part of the file system, its more like temp data storage i believe.

thats pretty consistent with what i said earlier. these type of issues frequently arise after updates. files dont update exactly right and something gets corrupted.

Question Device asking for password after restart.

So all of a sudden the s21 is asking for password after restart. I use the same password or 4 variations of it for these accounts. However I cannot login. I can goto web or new device and log in to my Google and Samsung accounts. But the device does t want to allow this.
I’ve seen options to flash firmware back one, I’ve done this in past. And can walk through most options. I tried ADB. But it is not enabled. And that’s become a major issue. If I could do any kind of backup, retrieval of the photos and contacts. That’s all I care about. The rest is not a big deal.
Anyone have any kind of insight? Direction? Thoughts? I can see the device in find my, but there aren’t any options to unlock. Just send message and erase.
I am willing to try almost anything, and if there’s a paid service I will try that. I’ve never seen this screen before, and have never had this issue. It does not make sense.
I purchased a new device and setup with passwords no problem. But there isn’t a backup on Google of the phone there. I tried wiping tge cache and that didn’t help either. I attached a photo of what the screen looks like.
Fwiw. I have photos of wedding and brother that just passed. i don’t want to lose those. I am desperate for any answer. Someone with tech support said I could send device to LV and they can do it. Takes two weeks and phone might not be useable afterwards.

And we didn't solved this problem

This happened to a friend of mine and i was able to "solved" it because he had a custom recovery TWRP.
I copied his files to a PC, while the phone was in recovery mode, then do a factory reset.
Later i found out that was an easier way to unlock the phone:
Remove /Bypass Lockscreen With Recovery
Recently when i restored my data using TWRP i faced a problem at lock screen. I was not able to unlock my phone with the pin i set Earlier..So after so many attempts i was able to find a solution for that problem.(works with pattern,pin etc)...
forum.xda-developers.com
But all this requires a TWRP recovery. If you don´t have that, i guess that the password you need is the one that you have set on the device, while configuring fingerprints.
If you have "find my phone" enable, you should be able to reset that password using a browser on a PC...
Have you found out any other solution?
