It's downloading!!! Thanks for the info!

well, i tried downloading and it failed? any extra steps to download? unroot or anything?

I was still rooted... Maybe the server's being swamped...

well it finished downloading. so i dont' know. tried doing unrooting with one click but not working so no im stuck. bootstrap or any app i need to uninstalled?
anyone extracting update.zip?

same here. i tried to install the update file but i reboot into clockworkmod recovery and it tells me i failed to update

Working good, now we'll need to divide the forum questions Before Froyo BF and After Froyo AF. No bugs yet, though flash doesn't quite match lip sync, not too sure if it's the site or not.

Worked great, tried flash and that works beautifully. Phone sure seems to be a bit smoother. I had rooted the phone and I unrooted it before performing the OTA update.

Kcrang wonder what were doing wrong. Or app that's keeping us from updating.

I think this bricked my phone. Stuck at the Moto logo now.

right now i'm thinking it's the clockworkmod, so i am re-installing the stock
if you go to rootzwiki's page, it should show you how to do, if that's your problem.

Well let me know if that method works for you .

Ok, my way worked. All you need to do, is to hard reset, reactivate your phone, and download ota update. It totally worked!

Noobie here..when you say hard set, what exactly do you mean. Do I need to unroot the phone first and then hardset, then go to (with verizon) *228 and ativate?

Well... I tried factory reset and reactivated.. still gets hung up and resets after its reboot to the recovery screen. Comes back with "update failed"
The only thing I had done at one time or another was Koush's Clockwork boot and root.
I had unrooted and uninstalled Kouch's stuff.. then factory reset and reinstalled, same thing. The update will download.. boots to recovery screen, get 1/4 way, error triangle, reboot, "update failed"..
Any ideas? Is there something from Koush's stuff that is hanging around, evern after an uninstall?
I'd really like to get the OTA update!!
Thanks!

Use SBF, you should be able to bring life back to your phone

Anyone know if I need to backup first? I haven't rooted it, I just have a couple dozen apps installed and don't want to lose my text messages and any other information.
Nevermind, I eventually figured out it saves your data.

Trying to get this update. I am rooted and am trying to complete the instruction from the first couple of posts. Setting/About Phone/System Updates
When I go to System update it tells me I have to hava a Motorola Account "System Update " is not available without a Motorola service account. Would you like to set up an account now?
When I choose setup it takes me to Setup Account menu. What account is it talking about? Anyone know?

Same here. I deleted pretty much anythig i could think of and still.nothing. maybe my framework? Anyone got a stock apk framework?
I did that one click root method an i tried doing the unroot and doesn't seem to work.

Seems like there are people that have just rooted that can get the update...
I had rooted at one point.. but also had the Koush bootloader on.. have recently uninistalled that.
Koush.. is there anything else I can do manually that will make my phone stock after uninstalling your Clockworks loader?
Please help!!!

Market not downloading apps, not failing either

My market just displays "starting dowload" indefinitely when i try to download anything. And my google talk closes the instant that it opens. Any ideas on a fix?

+1 on needing a fix.
My market has the exact same problem.
Just started yesterday when i went to jts clean rom.

Have either of you done a titanium backup?
Sent from my SCH-I500 using Tapatalk

I had that problem yesterday I had to un-root the phone I can't post the URL but you can find the thread in the 2nd page of fascinate and devlopement forum
it was the only solution I found and it helped

Im Having the same problem. Happened after flashing JT's clean ROM.

It's from restoring apps with Titanium Backup. For whatever reason, whenever I do this, it breaks my market no matter what ROM and whether I have Voodoo or not. Restore to stock, re-root, and everything, and you need to restore every app manually.

I did not use Titanium Backup.

I posted a new thread about this, seemed to work for me and a few others I tried. Check "for anyone having market issues"

Been having the same problem. I used titanium to freeze then defrost Market. Then did the same thing to Market Updater. Market works perfect now, but it reverted from the Froyo version back to Eclair. But it's better than not working at all.

Promise this will work. Just go to titanium and click on Market and then click Wipe Data. Do the same with Market Updater. All will be fixed.

This is an old issue, with several things to try.
I would first suggest looking through your application list and uninstalling any 0.00 sized files left as ghosts of apps manually removed. There will possibly be other smallish sized files left behind as well if you can identify them.
Force stop and clear market cache
Boot into recovery, clear cache and reboot.

I tried everything you just said above exactly. It still has the same result: "Starting Download" indefinitely.
I also tried using Titanium Backup to wipe data for market and market updater, but that didn't work either. I'm pretty frustrated that I can't figure this out

Got a solution. I was having the same problem with my Evo. Go to applications, then go to installed on sd. Move everything over to the phone. Then go to all applications and clear cache/data/and force stop it. That did the trick. You can move everything back to sd card after it fixes the market issue and it shouldn't happen again.

I also had this problem, I had to remove lagfix, restore older backup and start all over. It worked and all is well for me now. It sucks but it worked. I hope someone else can find a better solution. I even had jt reply and he said he didnt have that prob. Hopefully some will figure it out.

Uninstalling the froyo market and reverting back to the 2.1 market resolved this issue for me on 2 phones ... Mine and the wifee.

I had this issue, and I found out something peculiar. I was running JT's Super Clean rom with Market 2.2 and a Voodoo kernel, and the Factory Reset ran, but did not actually reset anything. After turning Voodoo off, I was able to Factory Reset, which fixed the Market issues.

Same thing here...

I was having this issue as well. Had to install JT Clean rom w/ wiping cache and data. Tried every suggestion in the book but none fixed it but wiping cache and data and installing JT Clean Rom.

[Q] Tried to Unroot and messed up....

so.....here I am yet again asking/begging/kissing booty to get some help on correcting my NOOB mistake.
I downloaded RSDLite....and tried to unroot back to stock firmware. I downloaded what I thought was the stock firmware:
DROID2_X6_2.2.20_SHADOW_BP_C_01.09.05P_P2_USERBLD_SECURE.sbf
and now I have a nice baby blue Triangle where my 3G would show...and oh yeah I can't connect to the network at all.
I was unrooting because:
1) I can't use live wallpapers for some reason, don't have the option when I hold down the homescreen and figured I messed up so wanted to wipe my system clean.
2) I heard 2.3 update takes your root away, I tried to update OTA and(wow I just realized that means OverTheAir) and it keeps failing upon installation.
now I a stuck with a 2.2 brick lol....but not really lol...
HELP!!!!!

Just hit *228 and reprogram your phone and all will be good!

IT WORKED!!!!
Thanks so much!

No problem just remember whenever you sbf you always need to re program your phone.

I uninstalled my android market....

I uninstall my market app as I was experiencing "process com.android.vending force close " problems. NOt only does it not helps to solve the problem, bebut I found out that my market is gone and theres no way to get it back Now, I read through alot of threads on this and even posted on the forums for help...but its still not working! NOw I have no android market app!
Will a factory reset help? If I reset , will the purchased maps in Premium Navigation still be there? Or do I need to buy them again?
I really do not wish to reset...is there any other ways of restoring my android market without the process com.android.vending force close problem coming up again? Once again, thanks for any help rendered!!!

haha no one knows???

No a reset wont help, it merely deletes your user data, either have a hunt around for the market.apk (try the new market thread on these forums) or flash an RUU, is your only answer unless you where wise enough to make a nandroid backup

download GApps and flash that
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App

I think a hard reset should solve the problem...
Vol Down + power (in phone off mode)

So - will he lose his premium maps subscription??

shouldnt unless he wipes, but when he reinstalls as soon as he signs back in the payed for apps will re appear. until then no updates.
op check you inbox

The Market thread has the APK, first try to install the apk, if it doesn't help, then try flashing GApps...that shud do the trick

[Q] Deleted Bloatware.... I thought

First post on XDA so might as well be a noob mistake and cry for help. :crying:
So after rooting my GS4 I went through on Titanium Backup and deleted all the AT&T apps. Was careful not to delete anything that was related to Samsung. Shortly after went to use S Voice and now S Voice crashes saying "Unfortunately, S Voice has stopped".
I remembered deleting an app by the name of "attupdate..." and now when I go into settings to About device > Software update nothing happens when I click on that.
I made no back ups and can't find any option in Titanium to restore the file. Not sure what to do at this point.

I believe you are out of luck until we get a usable stock image. Unless someone can backup that particular app and send it to you for restore. I am not totally sure.

Decided to try the factory reset now it crashes after the part where you name your device saying "Unfortunately, Settings has stopped" and kicks me back to the previous screen. Now the device is unusable.

Let me know what apps you need and I'll make backups and email them to you to restore from TiBu... Too late now, but this is why I always freeze apps, then make sure the phone still works right before uninstalling them.

Lesson learned, OP and others? Before deleting anything, FREEZE them, especially when we don't have a way to go back just yet! With a phone this new and no ROMs available, I haven't deleted a single thing off of it, all my bloat has just been frozen

From what I have found online they havent released the firmware for the I337 GS4 yet only the I9500. I have it plugged into my computer and Kies sees it but doesnt let me do anything the firmware. It says "Your device's current firmware version is not supported to update firmware via Kies".
In recovery mode I get an error when I try to clear the cache partition. Though it does let me do the factory reset. When first booting after a factory reset I get an error saying Text-to-speech as stopped. Then after I name the device and check which options I want on it comes back saying Settings has stopped and kicks me back to naming the device. I have tried turning off all options (S Beam, etc.) and still the same.
Had I not done the factory reset I would still have a working device just without S Voice. Freezing vs uninstalling is for sure the better way to go about things, I just got ahead of myself. Now I have a cutting edge desk ornament until I can find a fix.

I was safely able to remove (froze them first then reset phone to make sure everythign worked well) the following without any issues.

Yes that is exactly the idea......hope this helps.........
Sorry skimmed past our first question , you can freeze them by applying root , then installing an app called titanium back up from the market , I use the paid version , Pro. You can also disable apps without root by going to application manager ,all , then disable what apps you want to freeze , do a couple at a time and make sure apps you disable don't disrupt your phone then a few more and so on and so on..........

What he said.... but if you don't know what you're doing with this, chances are you SHOULDN'T be doing them! Just follow those steps and you shouldn't screw anything up, but if you get stuck, ask for help on the forum please and not in PM to just one person BEFORE going through with the step you are unsure of! We all weren't born with this knowledge and we're glad to help, but it doesn't help when you go and screw with stuff you shouldn't be just because the opportunity is there - if you don't know what you're doing, don't do it!

For those who don't know...You can also go to settings, more, application manager, all, touch the app you want to "freeze" and touch disable at top right...without root.
