Hi XDA,
i'm experiencing a not very cool no-update
I just go to the check OS update screen on my G2 and I can see a "Android Update 1.5" (4.2Mb)
I push the download button, it DL well and ... I can't install it ! The Download button is here again with the "Android Update 1.5" (Reboot required but the reboot actually does nothing)
I root my G2, but don't know if it's the reason of this
The very not cool part is that my version is CRB17 ... So the update isn't done !
Please help me, Donut is coming !
Is this a new update released today?
No it's an old one ...
No one had this problem before ?
Hard reset doesn't resolve the problem, stills stuck on displaying "Android Update 1.5" 4.2Mb, the phone doesn't ask me to install after I download it
Update Problem
I have this exact same problem on my rooted UK Voda Magic. No solution but one question. How do you know the update has not been applied you referred to the CRB17 number, my build number is exactly the same but the firmware version reads as 1.5. What is the latest build number????
The FW is firmed with releasekeys and if you flashed a custom recovery it won't accept it.
Cant Update
Any way around this particular problem? Does this also mean when donut is released we will be unable to update through the "update feature" on the phone?
So nobody has any suggestions, is there another recovery version which we could flash that would allow updates? Or maybe un root update and re root? I am assuming this problem will prevent me from updating to 1.6 when it is released.

Hello,
For the third time in one month, my G1 device hangs on the boot screen.
I've send the phone to tmobile two times and they fixed it.
When it comes back, it has firmware 1.5 CRB43.
But now the problem:
After a while, the phone comes up with an notice that a download is ready
(1.6), i choose install, the phone reboots a few times and then gets stuck on the boot screen. I don't know how to fix this or what is causing this problem.
I never rooted the phone, just using the official OTA updates.
I just don't understand why the official OTA 1.6 update is causing this to my official Tmobile G1 phone (bought in the shop).
Anybody who has an idea to get my phone to work again?
I can acces the recovery mode, but reset doesn't fix the problem.
You would have been better off getting cyan rom if you have root, since ota 1.6 is laggy like hell.

try manually flashing the OTA. you can download the update from here
http://getyourdroidon.com/builds/ota/signed-kila-DRC83-from-CRC1.c41b93c1.zip
rename it to update.zip and place it on the root of your SDcard
boot up your phone holding Home+Power
Press Alt+L
Press Alt+S
(it should say something about updating)
your phone should reboot automatically
pm if you need anymore help/clarification
@B-man007,
Okay, i've tried the file you said.
It says (in this order):
Finding update package
Opening update package
Verifying update package
Installing update
Installation aborted
So it doesn't install that file, really quick after the installing update the screen flashes and it says installation aborted.
I have an dutch (european) phone, your file looks like an usa update.
I also tried an EU version, but it gives the same error.
The problem is, i don't know which firmware version is on the phone right now.. I guess something between CRB43 and DRC92. Or maybe it has no firmware at all because it just hangs on the opening screen.
@Ace42, i don't have root, never had. Just using official OTA updates.

goto unlockr which is here for root.

I've tried that website, but it's not working in my case.
Trying to install the original SPL gives an error (no signature files found).
I also can't install the Original DreaIMG.nbh file, it keeps saying:
00028002 not allow in bootloader.
Hi,
Yesterday or so I read on the net HTC europe released a new rom. But when I try to update my Legens says there is no update available for my device. I tried with both 3g and wifi on as I read somewhere that could make a difference.
I used a goldcard to unbrand my vodafone legend but the last OTA update worked fine so I assume this cant be a problem now? (as far as I can see my Legend is totally stock).
Are there more people having this problem or now how to fix it?
I got an ota popup yesterday, downloaded and installed the update, and since then the phone has been restarting randomly all the time (no other difference that I've noticed so far), so I wouldn't be in a hurry to update if I were you
Update working for me..
I got the OTA update as well yesterday. Updated succesfully, legend works without problems.
I tried to update with my rooted phone, but the update stops after a while and an image of a phone with a question mark is shown.. Then the phone reboots like nothing happened.. Anyone else has this problem?
yeh it had the phone with the question mark and then it shows the phone without a question mark. i downloaded the update and installed it but when i checked the software info its still 1.405.4. my phone is rooted too
Same here, question mark ... no way to upgrade... we need Help from Paul
I gather these firmware updates are not documented anywhere what they fix?
I tried different machines before I sorted the connectivity problem to establish connection to my device until finally my PC can recognise my device.
Now comes the next headache, after getting the connection established I clicked on firmware upgrade - it came up and displays some updates are available -
it shows my current version as:
(PDA)JE9/(Phone)JE9
available update as:
(PDA)JF4/(Phone)JF4
When clicked on 'proceed' - it brings up some warning for me to make sure they are fixed before I proceed further like power cables connected and some warning of not removing or doing anything during upgrade, after I check 'agree' it starts the download by letting me know that the binary files for the new firmware is being downloaded and after the dowload there seems to be a wait creating impatience for us as to what next...after a few seconds I can see the message above the progress bar saying that the upgrade process has begun..
I can see the screen on my SGS display come with the android logo on some work (like road construction work) and the message telling upgrade in progress do not disconnect...it stays in that state for around a minute...no progress in the progress bar....Now suddenly the PC says 'failed to convert to upgrade mode, try later' and even after stopping my phone continues to show the frozen screen with 'upgrade in progress' (getting us confused and scared and dont know if I can unplug - will this brick my device all sorts of question) until I shut down my SGS and reboot to see it is normal as before but whenever I connect for the firmware upgrade all that I know is I am pending new upgrade.
I am stuck and can't proceed further - I tried it many times with many machines no luck. Please anybody suggest a way out.
Some info on my device: Bought in UK, sim free phone from Singapore Singtel as I see the operator's animation in the startup screen.
Other details on firmware:
PDA:I9000DXJE9
Phone:I9000DXJE9
CSC:I9000OLBJE9
In the settings 'About Phone' carries details:
Version: DXJE9
Kernel: [email protected]# (does this mean the device is rooted already?)
I have another question since I saw somebody mention in another thread that whether he/she should do a european firmware upgrade or asian firmware upgrade - I still confused by this question as well, which upgrade will be pushed to you if you are using Kies as it is just one same application made available for download globally.
somebody please help me with the upgrade issue.
isn't there any dev who can help me on this, it looks like i am the only one experiencing this!!!
I don't think many people are getting the upgrade options via kies at the moment.
I'm not seeing it on UK JF3
so hope, there isn't an issue with my device. I am weary because this was purchased from an online site but purchased the device after checking it personally.
One more question, will an unlocked phone get locked after any new firmware updates?
Are sim free and unlocked phones follow different philosophy ie., after unlocking a phone does that become a sim free phone forever.
Second question, how does the OTA update work - if you are not tied to a service provider - does samsung send these directly to all sim free phones automatically, looking and searching for IMEI numbers? and will a rooted phone be allowed to upate to froyo or any official update (for example) via the official Kies?
thanks
There isn't any offical firmware updates, via Kies, and or any other method.

Pls dont give wrong information. If you are suggesting something make it elaborate and clear.
I have clearly mentioned that I can see my current version as: (PDA)JE9/(Phone) JE9
Update available version:
(PDA) JF4/(Phone) JF4
thats what is displayed via Kies. I am also aware from this forum that some people can see the update whilst others dont see any.
Having said that, I was asking a techy questions as to whether a OTA upgrade or a upgrade via Kies from Samsung still happen if the phone is rooted and also if the phone is sim free and not attached to any service providers will the OTA upgrade will happen if so, is it based on IMEI number that will automatically be tracked OTA.
S
I was wondering if anyone found a solution to this problem? I am having the same problem.
I'm looking at this also.
after following this: (oh great, can't post links)
I had a problem updating to the official Foyo via Kies.
Finally got my PC to recognise the phone then started the update.
Phone screen went all green part way through and nothing was happening for about 20 mins so unplugged.
Phone would switch on but came up with a little picture on the screen and thats it.
so got it updated to JPM by booting into download mode and using odin. Took 5 mins once I downloaded all the files.
Hey.
I got a notification to update my device this morning so I connected it to WiFi and let it download.
It was very slow for some reason and at about half of the download I had to go, I left the WiFi range and it stopped the download with a message something like that "cant connect to the server please try again", so i tried again and it said that I have the latest update already installed.
Then i tried with KIES, it found a firmware update but failed to actually start the update after the download.
so now i have 4.2.2 and OTA says that the latest update already installed.
I have tried to clear cache, delete all in google service framwork, revert updates for all google stuff, nothing so far
Last thing i want now is to flash it, can I do something to fix this?
The device is Galaxy S4 GT-I9500, stock rom not rooted
Thanks for your time
Same here my friend, I hope someone can give any advice on this.
Today i receive notification about upgrade, im now donwloading it but cant find what update is it...

Let us know if you see any significant changes when it's complete.

while i cannot say what is new (not having an 1050L tab) i did downloaded and checked inside
this is what he does:
1. writes on ESP a new x64 bootloader
2. writes a new boot image
3. writes a new fastboot image
4. updates the bios with a new capsule (and by the size it writes over all the bios region)
5. writes a completely new system image (however it does it by using the patching way, even more using the block-update)
all in all excepting your data partition (where you have your personal data/preferences and the apps you personally installed) it will do a fresh new install of everything
problems one could have:
1. obviously if you had an unlocked bootloader you will need to flash back again
2. if the bios updates also the security part it's possible that you will no longer be able to use the unlocked bootloader
3. the new system is wrote by block patch (they could have wrote by flashing method) and this means you can have problems if you modified it (ie mounted at some point and changes something on it) by rooting or something else
on the bright side now someone could build a 'stock' rom for this model using this ota (so you can flash lollipop stock rom from lenovo and even a recent one by means now known)
So is it still 5.0 and not 5.1? Seems excessive for a bug fix build.
10x, i have stock not rooted not modified.
its 99%, i will write today if android version will be changed.
its 02:22 am on my clock and i must sleep tomorrow i will check what will be changed.

some props extracted from the build.properties in the new system image
ro.build.version.incremental=YT2-1050L_USR_S100192_1511191319_WW52_ROW
ro.build.version.release=5.0.1
ro.build.version.security_patch=2015-12-01
ro.product.ota.model=YOGATablet2-1050L
ro.product.name=YT2_10_row_lte
so no, it's still 5.0
it's big but it's also lenovo , joke aside this way it's better than incremental patches and it also gives you basically a stock rom (well first someone should compile it)
Ahh right, just stagefright patches then no doubt.
Yeap, its still 5.0.1
We recommend not to upgrade if you want to change?
i didnt find something changed. but i think the overall performance is increased and it better gets wifi signal...
They fixed also the new user problem
Now u can add new user or switch to the guest mode
Is there anyone noticed anything else?
Is the bios now is x64?
Has anyone received an update for the 1050F model?
firmware update 1050L not possible
Every time I try to install this update, which comes up every day, I get the message that my SD-Card is making problems.
But even if I officially unlink the SD-Card and take it off, the error message stays the same and I can't update.
How can I solve this problem?
Does anyone knows where can I download this firmware? YT2-1050L_USR_S100192_1511191319_WW52_ROW
