Howdy All - I'm still pretty new here and very green when it comes to working with my Android. Previously if is searched for a software update i would get a "No Update available" message. Now everytime i try and look i'm getting a "Communication Failed: Unable to communicate with AT&T Server." What gives?!
I was rooted but jumped back using Odin. Am I missing a step or do i need to just wait until AT&T pushes the update to me?
Thanks!

Just move your clock 24 hours, and you can re-check the servers, if not just wait until you get the notification from att, or you can simply flash JH7 tru clockworkmod recovery, you can find it in the development section, good luck.

So I bought a Nexus One on craigslist. I thought it was all stock until I ran into the "cannot establish reliable sever connection" when I tried to sign into my google account. My question is how do I restore my phone back to the newest version of android 2.2. It is not unlocked (no unlocked padlock on boot screen). Under "Build number" it says "passion-userdebug Froyo FRE74 28579 test-keys." Under Android version it says "Froyo" instead of 2.2. And many of the 2.2 features are not present such as wifi tethering, and the new icons at the bottom center of the home screen aren't there. I only have the single grid icon and not the set of 3 with the browser and phone. And i'm not sure where to go from here. I want to be able to log into my gmail account and the android marketplace. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Assuming you verified you have Data Connection enabled and have the proper APN settings::::
Your seller may have rooted the phone without necessarily unlocking the bootloader. see
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=710842
Also, the link I just added shows the different versions of 2.2 (missing a couple) but FRE74 doesn't look like one of them.
First find out if it is a rooted phone, Check the app drawer for any SuperUser or Spareparts icon. That or try installing Busybox from the marketplace and executing it.
If it is rooted,flash one of the many ROMS available on XDA, Cyanogen just released his beta version tonight. Personally I use Enomther Rom. Official version is out.
And BTW, read up on the process of flashing... most require you to wipe first.
and if it is not rooted....
All you need to do is do a Factory Reset
Settings / Privacy / Factory Data Reset
After that check what your Build number is.
Then you can go to your dialler and enter
*#*#checkin#*#*
What that will do is connect your phone to the Google servers, say hello, and the server will send the update to your phone. (Force OTA - Over The Air update)
My data connection is working, I browse the internet fine except for the youtube app and gmail.com. When I go to gmail.com through my browser I get "a secure data connection could not be established." But yahoomail and flickr logins work fine on both wifi and 3g. No superuser or spareparts icons in the drawer. I can't access the android marketplace since I cannot log into my google account. I did the factory restore and the build number is the same. I did the checkin from my dialer and it said "checkin failed"
So it seems like the phone is rooted but I just need to flash a rom with the froyo features I want. Any links or guides to doing this? I read and superboot seemed like the easiest way.
Sounds to me like an issue with radio... flash a new radio might do the trick. However, before I start messing around with the radio not knowing anything about my phone, I'd look into doing this first.

This will bring your Nexus One back to it's original shipping rom. It's gonna be alot of work, BUT this IS almost a $600 phone.
So I followed those directions and i'm back on android 2.1 and i can log into my google and everything seems to work fine. I want to update to 2.2 so I go to system updates, download the update, and install. But during the install process it shows the little box with the android and the loading bar but it stops and goes to the android and the exclamation point. I'm not sure what to do from here. My Build Number is ERD79
Hold Volume up and press Power (or possibly the other way around). That should bring up the recovery menu.
I tried once with the OTA update I downloaded, the phone restarted and tried to install by itself but went to the android with the !. So I download a froyo rom and rename it update.zip, not .zip.zip. And put it on my phone, I'm in the blue recovery screen and it says signature error. I'm thinking its the wrong rom i'm using.
Hi folks, looking for some help here please.
I have a samsung galaxy s on the three network in the UK.
I have not rooted or applied any lag fixes to it at present as i dont want to invalidate the warranty at such an early stage.
The official Froyo update became available via Kies this morning and i tried to update.
The phone connected to Kies alright, it downloaded the binary file OK and then stated it would start instal.
The progress bar did not move but my laptop made the sound when a USB device disconnects, then a second or two later made the same sound which i was taking to mean that the phone had reconnected, however Kies came up with a message that the connection had been terminated and then another message stating there had been an unexpected error and that the upgrade had failed.
It then offered to recover the phone.
Instructions were to remove the cable, remove the battery, start phone in recovery mode and then to reconnect cable. I did all of this but when i reconnect the cable, my phone is not recognised as having connected and nothing else happens.
If i restart phone it works OK on old firmware but if i try upgrading again, Kies gives a message that a previous upgrade failed and i should attempt recovering firmware. I have been at this for hours now with no joy.
I have two options in Kies, either to attempt upgrade again which always ends in error message that unexpected error occured, or to attempt recovery and in this case my phone is not shown as connected. When i start in recovery mode should i select any option or just leave it at the screen that appears.
At this point i really dont want to try any other firmwares or fixes so would really appreciate if anyone has had similar problems being able to throw me a lifeline.
Thanks for any help.
Sorry i cant help you but are you on payg or contract with 3?, im on contract with 3 but kies is not showing any firmware upgrade for me
I have had a three contract since they began, however i bought the samsung galaxy s about a month ago to replace my Nokia N86 as i fancied a change and didnt want to wait almost a year. So basically it is my contracted sim into a bought PAYG phone.
I have been following the posts at blog.three (sorry not able to post full URL) and they reported on Friday that the update would be here soon. Logged in to Kies this morning and it stated an update was due. My head is bursting with this as i have read so many posts and tried so many instals, and reinstals of Kies, i have tried upgrading with Sim card and SD card removed, still no joy. i am beginning to wonder if there is another flaw with the three version of froyo. Good luck anyway.
p.s, asking if i was on PAYG or contract made me think, so i tried putting the PAYG sim card in that i got with the phone, connected to Kies and upgrade still available however same error when trying to upgrade. The rollout may be by region or by banks of phone numbers, so you should get it shortly, although heres hoping it works for you
Thanks for the reply Doc, could you pm me that url pls?
Good luck to you with solving your problem.
Doc, just to let you know you aren't alone - I too have the same problem - tried it on both computers - says the update is available, it starts the download, the knocks the phone into download mode before coming up with an error message. I have tried to put it into recovery mode and it still fails - however I can just restart the phone and the old firmware is still in place.
No lagfix/root etc. Just a bog standard three phone.
Anyone who could help please!!!!!!!!
Alright, maybe I've missed something but I am trying to sync Kies with my Sprint Galaxy Tab. I've searched and tried the suggestions out there but I continue to get "Reconnect the device in Samsung Kies" error message.
I don't see that option anywhere. I have tried multiple launchers including the one stock after factory reset.
Am I missing something obvious? Or is somebody having this problem?
Ideas?
Nobody has any ideas on this? I know it may be a n00b question but surely somebody has run across this.
settings/wireless and network/usb settings
Select Kies Mode, go to your home screen, connect usb cable to pc, run kies

So after a lot of search and a suprisingly difficult find, it appears that the US version of the tablets don't support Kies. At least the Sprint US. I'm curious as to whether I can get the update since I'm no longer subscribed with them.
Thanks for the recommendation, though. I don't even have those options available.
I have a Sprint tab and no services through Sprint. My tablet is rooted, I still get the OTA updates.

I just got a Sprint Tab today myself..
Timanator / All..
What is the latest firmware version?
While I'm running the device as "WiFi Only" (per the initial set up) I was able to snatch two OTA updates..
The build number I'm currently running is 'SPH-P100.EB28'
Is this the newest? When attempting to search for any more updates after that, I was greeted with an error message stating it couldn't connect.. Hopefully that's just what happens when your firmware is up to date.
Thanks

Are you hitting "Update Android" or "Update Firmware."
I wonder what the difference is... When I hit "Update Firmware," it drops off my WiFi and "Update Android" says it's up to date. I'm hoping the "Update Android" is where they'll push the update.
Just as if you - hitting "Update Firmware" leads to it dropping the WiFi. I let it sit for a few minutes and that's when I got connection error message.
Hitting "Update Android" just comes back with a quick "Your system is up to date." screen.
What version firmware are you running? I'm trying to figure out what's the newest version.

Same as you. I will look for a build list.
In the meantime, does anybody else have experience updating their Sprint Tab without a contract or 3G service?
I found one on sprints website and the firmware I posted is the newest one. Basically if you have sprint id, you've got the newest one..
Hey guys
I'm using a Verizon Galaxy Tab but I do not have it connected to Verizon's network as I am using it WiFi only. I've gotten a few notifications saying there is an update available but every time I click "reboot and start download" my device simply reboots and does not begin the download. I'm assuming this is because I am using my Galaxy Tab wifi only. I've tried Kies and my device doesn't want to connect via Kies for some reason. I'm hoping there is a way I can simply download the 2.3 file and update within the device itself. My device is not rooted. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Im using a verizon wireless Tab on wifi also with no plan or account with verizon. The update will still get pusked to the device. I did not get the notification, but instead I went to settings/about device/system updates.
Thats where I found out about the update. I don't remember if I had to click anything to start the download but give that a try.
Thanks for the response. I tried this but it says my device is up to date but I'm still on 2.2. It's strange because 3 times I've gotten a notification that said an update was available but each time I try to update the device reboots but doesn't install the update.
I am trying to update to ics via kies since 3days and no luck. The 36mb stability update has been installed via ota but whenever i am try to update to ics via kies halfway thru it gives the timeout error.
This is seriously frustrating. Can anyone please help me provide alternate way to update? The ics update (139mb) is not yet available via OTA. :banghead:
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA
Did u try to unclick the USB debugging option? The kiev upgrade doesn't require it I think, just try again,if not successfully, search in the forum and flash it, there are plenty of safe ways out there...
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA
I am also getting the same timed out error. probably it is because of the load on the server. Will try to update at a free time and see what happens
Getting the same error first with 5% then with 45% still trying
All right finally OTA update showed up on my cell. Problem was that i was on roaming 3g network and could not afford to update the phone then and there (partly due to rise in fuel costs as well )
So i postponed it, set the reminder to 1 day. Now when i try to update it states "NO UPDATE AVAILABLE"
THIS SERIOUSLY SUCKS.
MY wife's note got updated in a smooth manner yest via ota. And i am still struggling.
Any pointers guys ?
Thanks
Ok i did a factory reset and go the OTA update option again. I am on android 4.0 now.. testing it. and going thru the xda forums .. :-D cheers!!!
