J16 update failed. - Vibrant General

Just tried to update the "official" way and the phone stopped at red screen with what looked like "update failed" in the center and rebooted. Phone works fine, but it didn't update and it tells me "no firmware" when I manually check. Has this happened to anyone else and what could have caused this?
My Rom is stock, rooted, with voodoo lagfix. I disabled the lagfix as soon as I noticed my phone trying to connect to the update servers. Tried to update and it failed. I know I could just install a j16 based Rom or use another method to update, I'm just curious about what could have made it fail and/or if anyone else had this happen?

Verify that the Voodoo lagfix is disabled (guide here) then the easiest way is to Odin back to JDF and apply the update either thru Kies Mini or skip going back to JDF and flash the JI6 from the Bible sticky in the dev forum. Just remember to post questions outside the dev forum, which is for dev discussion only.
Feel free to post back and let us know how it went.

Fascinate OTA update underway

I just did a check for updates on my Fascinate, and it pulled down a 697KB update, SCH-I500_DH12_to_DI01. Not sure what it changes, etc.
I was able to download it, but I can't get it to install. It keeps failing. Do I have to unroot to install?
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
Not sure. Some guys in #samsung-fascinate on irc.freenode.net are going to mess around with it.
I got it. I think it installed correctly. Baseband ends in DI01 now.

did you lose root?

Just tried to trigger the update - got a Server Unavailable message. Guess they took it down??
Mine failed. Says IP previous update failed now.
the is a list of changes in one of the threads in dev section.
you have to have a stock /system to be able to apply so if you removed any bloat must put back or flash with odin
Ota will cause root lose but we have a flashable zip with root if you got clockwork running

Same issue here
Mine failed as well with the following error code: "UPDATE FAILED or INCOMPLETE. reason: IP_PREVIOUS_UPDATE_FAILED."
I wasn't rooted, but I do have third party software installed. Any ideas why I can't get the update to stick?
I tried the update on my non rooted phone. I mean i've never even done anything extra to it, and i still got the update failed reason: IP_PREVIOUS_UPDATE_FAILED
I'm thinking there must be something wrong with the update.
I'm having the same issue with "IP_PREVIOUS_UPDATE_FAILED".
I was rooted+lagfixed but went back to stock using the ODin restores, still getting the above. I've tried it with and w/o CWM enabled as well.
*EDIT*: I just want to note that the phone attempts to reboot and install the update, and I can see (VERY briefly) the recovery manager attempting to apply the update. In this, I was able to see 'signature verification failed' amongst the normal messages.
Hmm, if you're running the stock recovery, and stock everything else, and you see a "signature verification failed" error, then the downloaded patch must be corrupt. I'm guessing you might need to delete the downloaded files and force it to redownload the patch, but I have no idea how to do that.
On a side note, I just applied the official patch to my rooted and lag-fixed Fascinate yesterday, by temporarily reverting to stock, and re-rooting afterward. I posted the steps I took to do this over in the development forum, for those that are interested: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=792652
I called verizon and talked to tech support about the IP_PREVIOUS_UPDATE_FAILED problem, he didn't have a fix. So he said i can take my phone back to the store and have it replaced with a new one.
Anyone know where I can find the bloatware apk files? I got a little trigger happy and deleted them instead of renaming. I can't install the update until I replace them.
Any help with this...
I was rooted with lag fix and OTA installed unannounced. So I lost root as expected. Meanwhile, seems I have the update but each reboot brings the update screen back, over and over again. Baseband and build number are updated. I have rerooted, un-lag fixed. Trying to get this update to stop showing up because its KILLING my battery. Thanks for any help.

If your Fascinate (unrooted, cannot speak to rooted phones) will not take the update, AFAIK your only option seems to be the 30 day return policy at Verizon. Last week after over two hours in the store they finally swapped, but even that phone would not take the update. I went in today, got a new phone, and it took the DI01 update. Third times the charm.
Its updated for sure and currently rooted. When the phone reboots it says installation starts in "x" and counts down. I have to defer for 24 hrs to keep from irritating me. I may try the store for an exchange.

[Q] Anyone else with the DI18?

Hey everyone.
I was waiting for the update, but I did not think it was going to happen today. Anyway, I got it while I was at the mall, so I clicked yes for the system update. My epic restarted and everything and did the whole downloading phase. Then when it was about to finish, it says "An error occurred while trying to update your firmware. Please try again later." I was a little disappointed by this. so I waited....and waited...then I checked my about phone settings and it says that I have the DI18 in the baseband ver. but it says update 1 in the firmware. Could anyone else tell me what I should do?
ya you should update manually
I tried to update from the system update menu, but it still came up with the error. Any idea how I can update manually unrooted?
I manually updated and under Firmware version it still says 2.1-update1
But if you got an error message of some kind I don't think it would hurt to manually reinstall the update.

Since it already says DI18 in baseband version and build number,
Would placing the update manually into the root of my SD card have any negative effects?

It's the same update so it should be ok. Just dive right in and we'll work out any problems lol
ah wait. Never mind, I'm not rooted.
I've read someone got the update without having to root. They downloaded the update file, copied to sdcard root, renamed the file to update.zip, booted into samsung recovery, and applied update.zip
The thread name is DI18 update for Stock Roms Only in the Epic 4G Android Development section

Yeah this can be done with the signed file that was floating around from one of Firon's threads. You don't need to be rooted to flash that one

Was pushed to me OTA at around 9PM yesterday.
So after update installed and reboot, I get "checking for software update" and it's just staying there with the circling ring. Is this normal?

It should do so for about 30 seconds or less to confirm that the update is installed (really just tell you that there are no new updates.) If it still hangs, reboot.

So after I finished updating, once it finished booting up the phone said "there are no current updates, your software is up to date". Is this what's supposed to happen?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
Firmware will show 2.1 update1
Build number will show sph-d700 Eclair D18
This is where the updates show, look there on About Phone
You need to boot in recovery mode and have the file named update.zip on ur sd, clear cache in recovery and then update while still in recovery. The rest does itself.
Different steps for rooted users.
Setting->about phone...to see if the update is there

EA28 OTA

I just activated my girlfriend's phone and immediately it prompted for update, so I did. To my surprise it was not DL09, but instead EA28. So after some google searches I found this:
http://phandroid.com/2011/02/03/samsung-fascinates-ea28-update-coming-to-fix-emergency-calling-bug/
The site is basically right, they repackaged dl09 with the emergency calling bugfix and pushed it out with a new build number.
just got mine... I'm gonna have a seizure in a public place to test it out.
Does any one know if one click root will work with this update

It worked for me on DL09 and this isn't that much different so I'd say yes.

One Click root works just fine! Just completed root!
I believe I was able to root successfully but when I try to flash ClockwordMod, it doesn't seem to be working. ROM manager says its flashed and has the latest version, but when I boot into recovery it is definitely not ClockwordMod. I cannot do backups or choose a file from SD to install.

When you flash a new ROM it overwrites CWM, so you'll have to re-install it with Odin.

Update broke my phone!
I just saw a screen forcing the update upon my phone. I clicked "OK" but when the EA28 update installed itself on my phone, it locked my phone into a cycle of trying to install it again and again. The baseband version shows S:i500.04 V.EA28, the Build number shows SCH-I500.EA28, but the update keeps trying to install the update. It gives a Prompt to Install-Reboots Phone-Prompt to Install-Reboot Phone... I managed to get it to stop for a little while by scheduling a deferral of the update until tomorrow. Does anyone know how I can keep the update from trying to install?
Yeah I just went to ask if there is an update and it said yes. Afraid to update because who knows if it'll break root....

I managed to get my phone to stop rebooting every 3 minutes by ending the InnoPath Active Care process and clearing the cache. But when I woke up this morning, the phone was at the emergency recovery screen. It went into a cycle of rebooting that made it as far as media scanner. I got it to stop rebooting by turning ON wifi (I suppose that's because Active Care needs WiFi off to do an OTA). Does anyone have any suggestions on how to stop this "Feature" that is rebooting my phone?
You tried pulling the battery (soft reset) i presume? After that theres factory rest, then odin back to stock

How To Remove Superuser and CWM?

I thought about rooting, and started the process with the one click mod about a month ago. I got the superuser app in the process. Never went any further. Now I am trying to download the official froyo (which is technically on hold), but it aborts everytime. I am wondering if the superuser or CWM is causing this. I have done a wipe/factory reset three times. Any suggestions? Thanks.

I'd suggest updating by using the official Samsung update on their web site, which you can run from a PC. It seems to provide a much more trouble free update. It will also totally wipe your phone (but not the SD card) so be sure you have a way to restore your data.
http://www.samsung.com/us/support/downloads/SPH-D700ZKASPR
Assuming you have a PC, click on the software link, then click on the EXE link for the EB13 update. Install on your PC and follow the directions.
odin back to stock, use eb13 in the pda slot you will have a stock updated phone
i would also advise against updating ota because it's my understanding that it was problems with the ota process that caused sprint to pull the plug. it's really hard to adequately stress how simple using the samsung exe is. if you can turn on a computer you can have a fresh installation of eb13 froyo
wait for the actual fixed release from either sprint or samsung and use either the samsung tool or odin to do a clean install.
I have 2 Epics, one stock, one rooted and rommed. I ran the Samsung .exe
and it caused nothing but troubles on the stock, so had to return to 2.1.
To do so, either go to Service Center or run Odin.
This will also work to unroot and return to stock. The easiest instructions I have found to follow are on Android Central under Epic Forums. Look in Roms and Rooting Section in stickies. Title is something like unbrick. It gives all the links for downloads and how to's. You must be registered to use
but it is less techy there so might be easier to follow.
Thanks, everybody. I just finished the update via the samsung site. Phone just came back online. I will start messing around with it and see how everything worked out. Thanks again!

[Q] MR4 EC05 system update

Hello,
My phone is stock rom etc, i have done nothing to it except i rooted it so i could use wireless tether.
I received the notification for "MR4 EC05 system update" a few days ago, however, when i try to install, the phone reboots etc, and then it gives me like a red " ! " saying the update failed.
Why is this? Is it because im rooted? How could i get to install this? I no longer care for root or tethering.
Appreciate any help,
Thanks.
It's because you're rooted...
Use this thread with the EB13 File then when it boots you'll get the message for the EC05 update and it should work...
Thanks,
Which thread?

When you rooted it removed the Asphalt demo which is one of the apps that is needed to determine if you are "stock."
Flash back to completely stock, download the update and root again, or if you are familiar with odin, you can just flash EC05 pre-rooted and deodexed:
