I finally got my epic to update both the firmware and modem to DI18. Along the way I installed clockworkmod rom manager, busy box, and had to re-root. Now my phone's power button will not put the phone to sleep unless the phone is on the lock screen. Can anyone tell me what may have happened and how I could fix it? Thanks.
My market died too. I don't understand where all these issues are coming from because I am running stock rooted.
I did a restore and narrowed it down to the full DI18 update wrecking it. But now i'm back with DG17 firmware and DI18 Radio...
Fixed.
this USE Clockworkmod

Then use odin and this file in the phone portion.

Be patient, it got stuck at the Galaxy S screen for 5 minutes.
Then you have to re-root.
And now I'm fully updated with my market and sleep button working.
DOES ANYONE KNOW HOW TO MAKE OTA WORK AGAIN? My phone keeps reporting there are no updates, even when I was at DG07.

trying to update my T959 to JI6, i updated it via kies, everything seemed to go fine, but it just sat on a black screen with the 4 soft buttons lit up... so i recovery'd it and updated it with odin, to the ji6, and same symptom, i updated it probably 30 minutes ago and it's still sitting on a blank screen with only the 4 soft buttons lit up... any help?
anybody? i need to get this running.
The chances of you being able to get back up and running through recovery are pretty much zero. You need to use Odin.
Had you done any mods to the stock ROM like laxfix or MobileAP?
i figured it out, i had to flash it back stock with repartition, i think the problem was the rom was modded or lagfix run or something, i bought the phone used and did not know the history, i am back up and running now,
however unfornatly i list everything.
thanks though
try updating thru odin again but use the JI5 stock software
I did manual install of 2.2 EB13. Downloaded the update.zip directly from the Samsung website. While I was on EB13, I ran calibration on the accelerometer. After I found that EB13 was now being pulled, I used Odin3 to get back to stock 2.1 DG27. Started having issues with the screen not rotating automatically when turning the phone. It would only switch if I pulled the keyboard out and it would get stuck in that orientation after putting away the keyboard. The only way to get it back to the correct orientation is to go home.Tried the Android Terminal method to manually calibrate it but didn't work.
The phone is now unable to update automatically to OTA DI07 and DI18. I have used Odin to get back to DK27 before and the phone would automatically download the OTA updates. I am currently manually updating to these versions using Odin and the .tar files. Odin does not format the calibration of the accelerometer. There might be other things as well that Odin cannot get to and I think is affecting OTA updating.
Did you try the upside down horizontal calibration method? Worked great for me and quite a few others. I'd link it but I'm on my phone.

Might have to go back to EB13 using the Samsung exe method which will fully wipe your phone. I have been using EB13 perfectly with the only real issues with the video cam lag in low light (important to me) and the FC in sport mode on the still camera (not as important to me since I never use that mode).
Once you are on di18 again, do the sensorcaliblutil_yamaha tool in terminal again. Make sure you type su first. Let me know how it goes.
would odin do the same? fully wipe phone

Odin is what the factory uses to install the software. It does eight phones at a time.

I'm pretty sure my accelerometer failed. I have performed the high and low level calibration(s) suggested in various places. The x and y axes appear to function within spec, however, the z-axis will not "tilt down", in other words, will not take on a negative value from vertical. This renders any augmented reality/live mapping software unusable. I have root and ext4 fs and clockwork 3.0.0.6 and have flashed the latest genocide kernel .03a. Everything is working great aside from this issue and a long delay with home screen icons refreshing upon exiting a program and opening or closing the physical keyboard. Application icons can take 10 seconds to appear. This can be resolved by repeatedly opening and closing the keyboard until it refreshes quickly.
I'm just about ready to use the samsung .exe to go back to stock eb13 and return the phone. Any last minute suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Why would you go back to DG27?
Im running a 4g xoom with 3.2.2 with custom kernal and running great . Can anyone guide me in the right direction to turn of the annoying ota update
The thing that worked for me...just go ahead and click install. Your Xoom will reboot and try to install the update. It will then freeze. Hold Vol Up and Power to reboot the tablet. Update doesn't work but the notification is gone! The problem, if you turn off the tablet and reboot, the notification will pop back up. But, how often do you need to turn off the tablet?
The other option, install the new Tiamat 4G ROM.
I updated, Tab rebooted and all is good, I was worried that I would loose something but nothing went wrong.
[Q] {FIXED}Problem with new OTA update..??....software"failed to update" message....
I have downloaded the update and clicked update now three times, and keep getting a failed to update message??.....any ideas..??.....I am rooted, but have used Voodoo to unroot......edit (now have tried 7 times......gets to the little android, and about one third of the way through installing, I get the triangle of death)
EDIT: See response below.......
Same thing is happening to me, except the phone is useless, because if I pull the battery and let it start up normally, the auto-update shutdown happens, and the cycle starts all over again.
If it matters, I'm on a stock AT&T rom with an unlocked bootloader.
FINALLY!!!
Finally got it......went to Moto.....tried through manual update with sd card......didn't work.......tried Autoupdater......didn't work the first time......ran Autoupdater a second time and IT WORKED........try that......
Still not working for me, what do you mean by Autoupdater? I've tried the SD card method and the downloaded method.
I'm having the same problem. Stock rom, rooted. the only modding i've done is the webtop over hdmi hack. tried both the manual and auto update.
There are two options on Moto......one is sd card.....the other is Auto......

But Voodoo did not save root......gotta find another way to root......not unlocking bootloader......maybe Pete's OneClick will update to 2.3.6 soon......
i factory reset to see if it would fix the update. ew ew ew ew motoblur ew ew ew ew ew. kill it with fire. oh the things i do for updates....
iM having problems with ota updates... phone is on 2.3.4 unlocked bootloader, i do the ota update... ended up failed to boot 4starting rsd.. flashing the 2.3.4 unlocked sbf brings phone back to life... i USED THE MOTOROLA SOFTWARE UPDATERand phone is on offical 2.3.6 software and firmware. with locked bootloader.
I keep trying the auto updater but How do I make my phone stop the auto shutdown. I cant make it stay on for more than 30 seconds I do a battery pull reboot the phone boots up fine works then 30 seconds later shuts-down and tries to install the update again and it gives me the exclamation with the android. Never mind I did a factory reset via recovery phone works fine.

THAT.
this is the same problem that's happened literally every time there has been a carrier update. search on how to restore webtop hack to stock and you'll be able to update after that.
rooted, locked bootloader, some hacks like HDMI webtop got fail to update massage
Those who don't know how to restore some hacks to stock, just go to http://www.motorola.com/Support/US-EN/Android_Products/ATRIX-4G_Software_Update_Page
choose Automated upgrade, download Motorola_Software_Update.exe, follow the steps to update.
Good luck!
Just got the OTA update for nougat, every time I go to install it my phone crashes and switches off.
Anyone else having this problem?
Also, how to I flash stock recovery, I think it's to do with that STUPID twrp recovery that doesn't even work.

You need to flash back stock recovery. You can NOT update OTA updates when you have TWRP, it will crash, just what happened to you.
Use SPFT and flash back stock recovery for the current rom you are on. You can extract it from the scatter file. (If you don't know what that is, GOOGLE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!)
Btw I would avoid the update for now. It's buggy to say the least and you will loose fast charging.
Yea this OTA still needs improvement. Fast charging gone, fingerprint STILL not working, battery drain. Practically, latest Marshmallow is better then this OTA.I regret upgrading. If you gonna need downgrade use SPFT, their is a simple guide in umi community.
I did install iit and now I can not phone out or receive a call on Bluetooth phone Buzzzes loudly and the net work closes out, I use the bluetooth because of my hearing aids as the volume of the UMI super isn't very loud. I don't know how to fix this short of resetting back to origional except that way I loose all my info and have to start again. waiting for an answer.
