Recovery: Status 7 (THL 4000 Wireless Update) - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello
My phone is a THL 4000.
I've been having this issue for awhile now, and although I've done plenty of research, I've not been successful in correcting this issue.
A few months ago, I was notified of a "wireless update" that improves my phones stability and radio, if I'm not mistaken, and the download I assume should be directly from the phone's manufacturer, so it has to be genuine, and yet I still get this issue. I'm aware that it's still possible to get this error pop up even on official updates and such, and I've even tried to remove the assert in the updater-script file, but I've not had any luck at all...
I've removed the asserts and it didn't work. There isn't even an assert line at the very top, but there are two at the very bottom of the file.
Please can someone download the file and check the contents, to identify the issue with their knowledge, as I severely lack on the know-how myself...
Here is a link to the updater_script: mediafire .com/download/l6r1uqw49w9hfr3/updater-script
(link has a space between fire com)
I figured that it would be more detailed & accurate for if someone else who possess the knowledge to actually know what I need to remove, and I'd greatly appreciate if someone could guide me around this pesky issue... A few days ago, my network signal all of the sudden blacked out, and it has a red x on it now; occasionally displaying a little magnifier on the signal bars and says 'no signal', 'no service', emergency calls only' in a rotation upon every time I attempt to check on the status. I've not had signal for almost 5 days now, and it has to be my phone. My SIM worked in another phone.. I'm just hoping it's this wireless network update, and I just can't seem to correct the issue and get rid of the status 7 recovery error. My phone can't be set up with a custom rom, but it is rooted, and I have CWM on it, but it doesn't get rid of error 7. I've tried removing the assert code, but with no luck... Unlike all of the other tutorials I've come across, this notepad layout doesn't include any "assert" on the first line either. Please can someone tell me how to resolve this problem? Thanks!

Most of the time when I have seen Status 7 errors when flashing ROMs it is due to an out of date custom recovery. I'm not familiar with THL (This is a Samsung forum section) but many devices will not install an OTA update when rooted or with a custom recovery installed. I do have an Acer tablet that updated while rooted, but no custom recovery was installed. An off the top of my head guess about the lack of signal would be that your device may have corrupted the modum software when you attempted the OTA. Check your device and see if the modem version corresponds to what would coincide with the bootloader version.

[Q] "New Connection Setup database found. Do you want to install it"

About once every minute I receive a message on my screen saying “ New Connection Setup database found. Do you want to install it?”
I push yes and it downloads about 14% stops and says server error.
My question is what to do with this? How do I disable?
Thanks for the help!!!

I have exactly the same problem. Been driving me nuts Whatever I do, whether I am on HSDPA or WIFI connection, it never gets further than 66% (that's the max I ever obtained) - I've tried at least 20 times and would really like to know if there's a way to get rid of this thing. I tried disabling the auto configuration, but I can confirm (as per above) that this does not work on the Touch HD.
Naturally, HTC refers you to Microsoft. I haven't contacted Microsoft because I thought I'd first find out where this comes from.
Any ideas/tips/solutions!???????????
Thanks!
This thing also bugging me alot...disabling the auto configuration doesn't work...May be some know any tweak for that...
I happened to me. I managed to download the database connecting the phone to a desktop with DSL connection. It installed something (I don't know what) and since then I don't have the messages anymore.

So far there's no working solution for this. Some people have managed to download the database, the phone rebooted itself (keep this in mind, because you'll lose any open and unsaved data) and a new connection rom version now shows up, without any visible impact.
But most of the people just cant download the whole database (me included). Seems to be related to the fact that many people are trying to download at the same time. Maybe try doing it at some wicked hours when the load is lower.

yes, that's true.... I got also the same problem, but fortunately I was wide awake at 5 a.m. and my HD manage to finish complete database download, after which phone auto rebooted and now there is no more message “ New Connection Setup database found. Do you want to install it?”.
after this update I didn't notice any significantly changes ....
Everyone connect the phone to activesync using a pc that has internet connection and then press update on the phone. It will use your pcs internet to download it and it will go successfull.
I tried to download with my HSDPA and my WIFI but no luck. As soon as connected on activesync it started to download and finished 100%

[Q] n00b question- rooting & OTA updates, 'unable to scan networks'

HI there, I have the dreaded 'unable to scan networks' wifi problem- it started after I set up a mobile AP (I didn't turn the AP service off after I'd finished with it- I wonder if that's what caused it?)...
Anyway, I've since learned via this board that I can fix my wifi by 2 methods: 1) performing a reset (would rather not) and 2) editing a line somewhere, root access is required.
I do have a third option- waiting until the 2.2 OTA update comes through, which I understand will require (and perform) a reset anyway.
However, I'm sick of waiting for 2.2.
What I'd like to know is: If I root my phone & fix my Wifi, will I still receive the OTA update?
Anybody?
TIA.
the 2.2 froyo is not OTA
it is OTK (over the kies)
just turn off your phone, then turn it back on, that should reset your WiFi stuck i/o
some times the GPS does that too, just turn off the phone, turn it back on and they work right away.
in contrast to the HTC Windows Mobile phones, the SGS is much much much better, i barely have to do any restart of the phone with Android
with Windows Mobile it was at least 10 reboot a day
Restart doesn't fix it... Tried removing battery, etc. etc.
The 'unable to scan networks' problem is a known issue- at least to this board, If not to samsung.

Im in the same boat as you mate with my Samsung galaxy s, i have tried turning it on and off with alternate battery in and out methods, my wi-fi just wont work now, it turns on, comes up saying "Unable to scan networks" and turns the wifi off.
I have read on many posts about the issue and the best fix appears to be here:
hxxp://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=8062313
*Sorry its not linked, this is my first post so i assume it wont let me post links until im roughly around the 25th post mark.
The issue i find with using this method is that in order to browse the phone at a root level to get to that file, you need to pay for the App in the android market to do it.
I have rooted my phone already and already applied the lag fix (boy did that change things), but im more contemplating doing the upgrade to 2.2 than buying the app just to fix a wifi issue. Im hoping this gets fixed in 2.2, or at least a more easier solution / fix.
My question is, if i did buy the app to browse the phones file system and i fix the wifi, does it fix it permanently or just until it happens again and i will have to follow the same process again... ?
did you both turn off Bluetooth when using WiFi?
you can't use BT when using WiFi
I've never had to turn off bluetooth to use wifi before...
However: PROBLEM IS NOW FIXED!!
Here's how I did it:
First, bluetooth was off.
Tried to upload a video shot on the phone to youtube. Got message along the lines of 'will only upload video over wifi'
Next message pops up: 'waiting for wifi'
THEN message box saying' signal strength excellent' & asking for my wifi password!
I've been without wifi for 2 weeks, this is brilliant. Give it a go, try uploading a video to youtube.
I reckon it overwrites the bad line, but who knows. Maybe its a bluetooth thing. I don't care, it worked for me.
Spread the news!

how would I go about updating, when 2.2 is official, without kies or rooting? I've lost patience with kies!
This was mentioned on another topic already but here it is again:
Heimdall, Odin, Rom Manager Clockwork just to name a few, there are many other ways to go about this even without Kies

[Q] Few issues for which I need help

Hi all,
I have been using my galaxy note n7000 for an year now. From last couple of weeks I have these following issues with my phone
Whenever I go to a roaming area, my screen flashes with a message "Refreshing SIM Data" and immediately I lose the HSPA connection. This message keeps popping up on my screen as long as I am in that roaming area. I have another phone (HTC) and it doesnt happen like that in that phone
Now this one is very scary, Sometimes when I am connected to 3g/hspa my screen flickers with bright horizontal bars and immediately loses the whole network (no net, no calls). And after a few seconds phone automatically restores the connection and everything is fine again. But may be after half a minute this happens again and phone gets switched off. When I switch on the phone again, it would have lost all battery and I am greeted with a low battery message. Wierd part is that if I charge my phone it shows the current battery level again. This thing happens probably twice or thrice a day.
third one is also weird, I can browse internet, download apps from play store, unconditionally. But if I try to update an app then things wont happen and I will get a message saying that app could not be downloaded due to an error 495. I did find this as a known issue in play store but in my case some apps get updates successfully but only some would not.
I have searched for this in whole of XDA Forums, but none of them worked. I tried clearing caches of play store etc. I even installed 2 to 3 rooted roms (both ICS and JB) but no luck. Now I am back on stock ROM but issues still persist. I also contacted network provider (Vodafone India) they seem console me by telling me that everything is fine from their end !!
Story end
2 seems to happen due to an issue with battery. Try a different battery
3. for error 495.. if you are rooted and have cwm.. then boot into recovery and do a wipe dalvik cache and try again. it usually works after that,
1. no idea about this.. i dont get any such messages.
thanks !
2. Yes, I will do so
3.I tried all these, infact wiped everything more than twice
1.
First got to applications then select plays store and clear data. Then do the same for play services. Try. If still no go the wipe dalvikcache from recovery and it works. I get this error every now and then,
I think you are running an old firmware, is that correct?
In general go to service centre and warrantee.
If you dont mind warrantee, root, make efs backup on and off the phone and pcodin a newer firmware.
If wipe and such, do only on safe kernel.
1 - I have not see that so cant help - Sorry.
2 - A lot of us are now having that problem .. and it is not particular to any ROM .. it is happening with all ICS and JB ROMS's and started only 2 - 3 weeks earlier for phones purchased more than a year ago.. am also looking for a solution on this.
3 - I have not see that so cant help - Sorry.
AW: [Q] Few issues for which I need help
1. Have you tried selecting the network manually when you are in a roaming area?
2. That's a battery issue. Maybe the battery is a bit weak and does not provide enough voltage when nearly empty. I also recommend trying another battery.
3. No clue, sorry.
Sent from my revived Galaxy Note
hi all, thanks for your replies.
I have managed to get rid of /find out the cause of these issues,
1. This is a network specific issue and was not related to phone. It has something to do with our roaming settings in network provider. !! I called them up and spoke to their technical team, so I am expecting some resolution soon
2. Bought a new battery -- problem solved (thanks guys!)
3. This is also a network related issue. ISP was blocking certain web requests !!. I changed my sim to other network and my google play just works fine. Reported to Vodafone.

Problems after stock update

Hi, I have an XT1063 Moto G, completely stock, and I've been having two different problems since the Stagefright update.
First, I haven't been able to download any updates or new apps from the Play Store. I've had to install new apps by downloading the apk file elsewhere.
The second problem is that my wifi icon shows an exclamation mark and stays like that even though wifi is working correctly and I'm able to browse or download properly (and it actually uses wifi data, not my cell carrier) It does the same thing when I'm off wifi, it shows the exclamation mark but I'm still able to use data properly.
I thought I'd be able to fix both problems by doing a hard reset on the phone, but both of them remained after I did that and I'm completely out of ideas :crying:
Thanks in advance for any help you guys can give me
I couldn´t help you to solve your problem with that wifi issue but if you get a 504 error when you try to download something from the playstore,I read this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=62950527&postcount=462 . You can read the posts before this one too, maybe it´s the same thing and related to a faulty internet connection. (The exlamation mark would fit in there somehow).

Netflix won't run, endless loading screen with -9 error message

Hey guys,
I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 LTE (i9305), rooted, bootloader unlocked with custom rom (CyanideL 5.1.1-RC-19.0-i9305) and I recently wanted to try to watch Netflix on my phone. Unfortunately, when I start the app, I just see the Netflix logo with the loading circle underneath it for a long time (maybe a minute or two) and then the following error shows up:"Sorry, we could not reach the Netflix service. Please try again later (-9)"
Now the Netflix help page says this is a network/connectivity issue, however, I don't think that's the case here. I have rebooted my device, rebooted my wifi/router and it also happens when I am outside with a stable LTE connection, same error message every time.
Since I found similar issues in relation to custom roms, I thought that might be my issue somehow. I have found two possible fixes online, both of which leave me a bit dumbfounded. One frequent solution seems to be to delete /system/lib/liboemcrypto.so - I already didn't have that file, so no luck there.
Another thing that works for many people is to modify the ro.product.model entry. Mine is set to "GT-I9305", which should be the right one anyway, so I don't know what to change it to.
Would be great if someone could help me with this, I am out of ideas.
