[Q] Lost update... - Motorola Droid and Milestone General

I had a d1 for a while then switched to something different. Now i am back to a d1 which has 2.1 on it. I was prompted to update to 2.2, and when it did, the update failed, and now it is saying that the system is up to date.
Any way to get the update back?
Thanks!!

Receiving OTA 1.6 after Unrooting

I flashed back to RC29 and then upgraded to 30, and finally 33. I am now sitting on RC33 and when I check for updates it says none are available.
When I try to run "Radio_Dream_RC33_1_22_14_11.zip" as update.zip, also "G1OrigBootloader_nocheck.zip" they both give an error about being unsigned.
I am wondering if these two images not being flashed is causing me not to receive OTA? or is there something else wrong?
I want to get back to stock 1.6 TmoUSA
How did you upgrade to RC33? If you used anything from this forum - then it's not going to work as those are all unofficial roms and have update disabled in them.
Your best bet is to flash DREAIMG.nbh and check for update. That will get you to stock Donut.
Good luck.
Yes, I used DREAIMG.
Does it take a few days to pick up the OTA update though?
I recieved a notice for the 1.6 update last night.
I am all good now.
For the record, if anyone googles this thread, OTA updates go after a certain amount of time. Just because it says "no updates" in the check for updates field, just wait a few days and it will give you a notice.

How do i bloody get rid of update notification???

Its driving me nuts. Update fails and i dont really want to update anyway. How do i get rid of the bloody notification?
I'm on Modaco r21 and getting the same update notification. Would love to be able to get rid of it. Would it have anything to do with the build.prop I used the one from the Modaco kitchen so I could see all of my paid apps in the market and so on.
Update:
I just reflashed with Modaco r21 without the 2.1 build prop and the update notification goes away and I also see all of my protected apps in the market.
I have the same question. I have frf50 on the at&t nexus, rooted and unlocked. I would prefer updating to frf91, but the ota update doesn't work.
You get rid of the notification by flashing this:

"Update.zip to flash with custom recovery"
And the other things too, if you like.

[Q] Captivate Update; did anyone elses fail?

Ok, so i attempted to manually retrieve the update released today, can I not do that yet(as in MUST it be pushed to my phone first)? Now i have to effing wait sub-24hrs for it again Admittedly i couldnt wait...this fone is nice minus the few issues it has and that we are all aware of.
Ive never had a chance to see the update experience on an Android fone, therefore as far as im concerned it did what it was supposed to...only it failed. the "No update was installed..." screen appeared after my fone was restarted and unlocked. I didnt take out the SIM, fone is rooted, start up media scaning is (more or less) disabled with an app i use, and i have the free lagfix from the market; the One Click thingy lol. Any Ideas anyone?
mine found update downloaded then tried to install and said cannot install and when i got to resume updates it says "no firmware" i think i just need to flash to stock before trying update
mine keeps saying that it cannot connect to the att servers.
Aw id rather not...took alota time for me to find apps an methods to make this fone more usable smh

My phone is rooted and I have the same problem as ericos123. I think going back to stock would fix this problem. Sucks I have to redo everything.
What's the easiest way to go to stock? Anyone know?
will i lose all my media if i go back to stock?
Mine downloaded the file. I performed a backup prior to the update and started it. It came back and said "update failed" and when I attempted to resume it, it said no firmware. I checked the baseband and it said JH7 which is the version being pushed.
So I assume it actually passed but it failed on something minor as the phone operates just fine.
So far, that also seems to be the consensus that rooted/modified users will get errors. I modified my framework apk to put a better batter icon, and it is still there. Maybe it couldn't overwrite it...
Check your baseband and see if its already updated. (and if you couldn't get your update, use the date-forward trick (change the date forward 24hrs)).
Ok, I've tried the update 4 times and I can't get it to take. I've used Odin to go back to stock JF6 (checked re-partition). I also did the master clear thing! I compared my phone to a co-worker who has a completely stock Captivate and they appear to be identical!
The patch downloads fine, however when it restarts and begins to apply the patch, it gets to 50% and then says "Updates fail". It boots back up and says that the update was not successful!
Any ideas??
Check your "About Phone" screen. Mine failed as well, but when I checked mine this is what was different:
Baseband version: I897UCJH7
Kernel version: 2.6.29 | [email protected]sep-11 #2
I was stock + root prior to trying the update. Here is hoping this is a fix for the GPS, I will try and report back.
I don't think you do, but I'm not sure. That said, idont know how to bak to stock myself...guess it time for more XDA searching lol

I have two stock non-rooted phones and they both performed the update successfully.
Mine's rooted, and a few stock ATT apps removed. Update successful, took about 10mins total.
Yet to check for any changes/improvements.

I'm in the same boat, can anyone verify this if this means the update was done successfully?
So what's the status on those of you who have already applied the leaked JH7 through Cognition or another way? Are you all going back to stock to then get this new update? Is it possible to apply the GPS fixes to my current rom/kernal or should I do Odin and then apply it? It's not that big of a deal to do everything individually (voodoo, black bar, superuser) if I have to without Cognition. I really want the GPS fixed.
I manually moved the date up two days (Sept 24th) on my phone and checked for update. It finally started to download the OTA update. It failed after 50% installation and rebooted by itself. My phone was rooted with lag fix and removed some AT&T software. I'm wondering the reason it failed because it is trying to install QuickOffice and update other AT&T software. But I already moved some of the AT&T software and already installed QuickOffice through Android Market.

Mine stopped at 50% too... ugh. Let me know if you find a workaround, and I'll do the same...

Same boat as me. I am rooted.. and removed att crapware and did a battery icon change. But no other major changes.
(From my Captivate via XDA app)
Failed first time unrooted. I used Odin to go back to stock,failed again same place,50%

[Q] New update fails

Hopefully you guys know there is a software fix out from at&t and samsung that fixes gps problems and etc...
goes without saying you can't just straight update if you're rooted. That's where i'm stuck.
Before i touched anything, it would get to 50% and reboot, says the update was not applied.
Then I tried "unrooting" even though it said it was unrooted, and apps requiring SU backed this up saying my phone was unrooted.
Then during the update, it stops even sooner at "preparing".
So... how do we get around this without doing the master clear with odin3???
I DON'T want to lose all my data. I'm too lazy.
Mine said failed at 100%. I def got the jh7 update though. My phone was unable to reboot into recovery using the three button method. Now I can. My phone was rooted with stock rom.
Mine is rooted with the Voodoo fix and it failed during the update (I was at work so don't know at what step during the update).
Will have to do the voodoo-lag unfix - restore back to factory defaults and try it again..
Unless of course someone pops out a tweaked ROM before then!

captivate jh7 upgrade

Got the firmware today.. when it loaded it ran the entire progress bar and later said that it failed.. however in the settings it say jh7 and additional attempts to update says no updates available. Also.. after the update the superuser app is still installed and appears that root is still there. Any thoughts?

You have to unroot before you can do a ota upgrade. Rooting is suppose to block ota upgrades because a ota upgrade would remove superuser.
I read somewhere that people have had to flash back to complete original. I've rooted and removed AT&T crapware. Also, being new to the Android platform I need some guidance on how to go back to factory orig. I've heard of odin.. but base on my limited research I haven't seen if it is available to mac. I am familiar with Unix/Linux.. they are my primary OS'.. but messing with a phone OS is just a different animal altogether.
I had to redo the phone but the update never showed up.. So what I did was just flash the update from samfirmware and it is working even though I have to redo everything...
HTH,
Charlie

My phone is rooted and I updated without issue.
Well i just tred to update mine this morning, i finally got past the communication errors. The download went fine, but when it was installing it went from 0 to 50% percent in about a second and then said update failed and rebooted.
I'm on the stock JF6 rom, however i used odin to get there.
My Sim card and sd were left in, however my sd is blank
And i don't know what any other info i can post to be helpful
2.1 update
just did the update with one click root loaded.went though with no problems phone is faster with less lag.also i can still use as wi fi hot spot. new Quikoffice,Media hub,Mobile Video and you tube. well this may mean no 2.2?
I also did the ota update with root installed, allowed 3rd apps, with wireless tethering, and it went through fine for me but I still have poor gps, did not seem to do anything for the gps except removed the option to enter lbs test mode. Anyone know how to get to the lbs test mode after update?
Samsung Mini-Kies Updater
If anyone is having troubles with Mini Kies (I had the problem where the application crashed, using Win 7 x64), I'd recommend using the regular Samsung Kies application. I was unable to do the JH7 update even after restoring to complete stock with Odin (50% update failed error). This was easy, and now I am fully in JH7, and so far the GPS lock is much, much faster.
