Ok a little information...
My phone shipped with the Generic RC8 UK firmware, I followed the standard procedure to downgrade to RC7, root my device, install HardSPL, and then upgrade back to JesusFreke's RC8 mod, here is a little information about my procedures
Shipped with RC8 > Downgraded to RC7 > Rooted and installed HardSPL > Upgraded to JF 1.41 RC8 > Upgraded to JF 1.43 RC8 > Upgraded to JF 1.43 RC9
I have the original T-Mobile contract sim that the phone came with, and have made no alterations to the system settings, or data settings since I upgraded to RC9.
As far as I can tell the problem occurs both through Wifi (through my home connection) and when using Data over 3G. The problem is that for some applications that I have installed (So far it has happened to Voxmobili Phonebook, and Brain Genius Deluxe) when the market notifies me of an update, I tell it to install it, and it immediately proceeds to tell me that the download failed. Most applications seem to update correctly, but this error is still an annoyance to me as it could crop up again in the future.
Any ideas on what could be causing it, or any way I can gather some more info for troubleshooting?
Update: I have managed to update brain genius deluxe correctly, however the phoonebook app from voxmobili still refuses to update

Having a small issue here. I just picked up a Juno (Tmo branded). Its completely stock, no 3rd party apps.
Anyway I'm trying to flash a new rom (clean rom, 6.1 rom..ect). When I start the flasher, it gets to 2% then fails. The phone reboots and operates normally. I get a error message on the computer telling me there is a problem flashing.
Im running vista sp1 on my macbook. I also tried this on a dell laptop (xp s2), same problems.
BTW: Software Ver on the phone: 1.03.531.4
did you CID unlock?
you might need to do that first so that you can run the Upgrade
Yea I'm pretty sure I CID unlocked it. Maybe I ran it a few times too many, I'm not sure.
I did get it to work. What I did was upgrade the "Official" FW first. I went to the tmobile upgrade site and got the updater from them and updated. That went fine, but it was still tmo branded fw.
The I ran jumpspl.exe, I guess that unlocked it. The unit rebooted but the screen remained off. I then ran the Clean Rom flasher and it worked. The progress bar never appeared on the device but it was on the computer and went up to 100%, device rebooted a few times, took a while each time as it did. Finally I had a usable phone
run jump spl then you upgrade your rom.
I have JF 1.5 Developer flashed onto my phone and have changed some images in the framework-res.apk
and i have noticed an issue with bluetooth where it will connect to my JVC hands free and i can dial number and awnser calls through it but the audio is still going through the handset.
It was working before i rooted my phone.
any ideas.
I think i may have found the issue, i didnt upgrade the radio when i flashed JF 1.5
Taken from HTC who JF got the developer build from
Each Android platform version is designed to run on top of a specifc version of the radio firmware. Typically, each successive release of the Android platform relies on a newer version of the radio firmware, so whenever you are planning to flash a new system image to your device, whether upgrade or downgrade, you should also update the radio firmware to the version expected by the platform. If you do not update your radio image, the system may encounter problems.

well updating the radio and flashing back to JF 1.5 has fixed the BT problem so it must have been something to do with the mods to the framework-res.apk or the android.policy.jar that screwed things up.
I didn't receive my OTA update yet.
I live in the Netherlands and my phone was bought in Belgium (Orange)
The ROM version is 2.73.66.5
Does anyone now why I still didn't receive the OTA for 2.1?
Try changing the date forward.
Already tried that
I think there is an anycut shortcut that forces a check for update.
EDIT: or try *#*#checkin#*#* (type that in on the keypad in the phone app)
I'm assuming your version is a typo - it's probably 2.73.61.5. If so, you will need to download and apply another update from your local Orange website - version 2.73.61.66, assuming it's the same as the UK. You will (well, I did) lose everything off your phone when you flash this version, so back everything up. As soon as it finishes rebooting after the flash, it will advise you of the 'part 1' update, and following that, the full 2.1 update. Hope this helps.

Well spotted.
Meh, get it rooted and try a 2.2 Rom.
Hi, I updated my friend's rogers Streak to official 2.2 O2. I followed the same route I did to my own streak o2 1.6 - o2 2.1, then I stuck and couldn't go further since all recoveries gave me FOTA error when I tried to flash 318 official build. I tried all available clockwork and streakmod recoveries without any success. Every time I was getting the same screen as with stock recovery. I had exactly the same problems with my streak but that time I was able to flash 3 files from official untouched rom through the fastboot. Unfortunately those files amss-system-boot.zip are not available any more I had to find another way.
I connected to the wifi and updated to the official o2 2.2 via system update in phone settings. Everything seemed to be fine but then the phone started reboot when you turn on 3g and trying to use data or after 30 min browsing via wifi. And it keeps rebooting until you take out the battery. If I use it as a phone it works perfectly without any reboots.
I tried again to install 318 update with 309 recovery img, tried to go back to o2 2.1 with proper recovery but every time there was the same error - e: error in sd card update.pkg.dec status 2.
Could you guys give me any idea how can I make this thing work?
Can I use QDL tool from my current rom or I need to go back to att 1.6?
Is it possible to extract files from update.pkg to flash it via fastboot or maybe somebody still have the original files from untouched rom amss-system-boot.zip and can re-upload them.
Any help would be highly appreciated
found 'em here:

good luck.
Hi guys, First of all HAPPY CANADA DAY!
I have a rogers branded Sony Ericsson phone with original firmware. But I have removed some bloatwares from Rogers and Golf game.
My phone have been noticing me about 2.3.3 firmware update. The phone itself also downloads, installs it. But after that process, the phone starts like normal and says "Couldn't update" message.
I tried resetting phone and tried many methods. Now the phone also doesn't display "Connect to Phone memory" in Notification area (it charges, but apparently doesn't connect to PC) :/
What's wrong?
You probably modified some of the system files in a way. Anything like removing bloatware with Titanium Backup will cause the update to fail. If you want to root your phone, you'll need to re-flash the Rogers 2.3.2 ROM back, root it with GingerBreak, and then perform the update to 2.3.3.
If you don't want to root, just use FlashTool to flash the Rogers 2.3.3 ROM.
Yeah, that's what I thought. Where can I find 2.3.2 Rogers ROM and how can I re-flash the platform? (the phone doesn't show connected to PC as well).
Do a search. There's a thread in the android development forum with the rogers 2.3.2 rom. I just flashed that one back yesterday to update to 2.3.3
