EB13 to EC05 problem: hanging after reboot - Epic 4G General

I got the OTA update message for a while now.. and every time it requests permission to reboot to apply the update, I allowed it. Every time, it loaded clockwork. Right now, I took the microsd card out and now it's just hanging there with the android guy and the triangle with the exclamation point. Should I do it manually? Will that erase all me settings?

I would just odin to di18 and get the ota then root and go from there.

OTA Update issues

So I have Unrevoked3, and want to update OTA, I don't need root anymore.
However, when I update it goes to start the update, then I get a yellow triangle with an exclamation point and an android, it just sits there til I pull the battery.
I want to be sure this is just an issue with needing to unroot, and not something else.
If its just an unrooting issue, how do I unroot from Unrevoked3? All the unrooting topics I've found were for toast or simpleroot.

Btw, the RA is Clockwork recovery.

Pretty sure all you need to do is put the update on your SD card, flash it, and then you're done. You'll lose root, but it should work that way. YMMV and all that.
I'll try it when I get home, hopefully it'll work.

any word? I too am having the yellow triangle displayed on my screen when trying to install the OTA after doing Unrevoked 3
Nevermind, Im downloading now.
Im also downloading the 1.47 RUU incase I need to start from scratch, which Ive heard works with revoke.. Im just not sure how to reflash the stock recovery image and get rid of Clockwork Mod and Unrevoked.
I ran flash sdcard:update.zip and so far its updating with no issues, will wait for boot up to see if it took.
I think using the ruu is the only way to reset the recovery, anyway thats what I did and d/ling the OTA now.
Worked fine. Booted up took a bit, but Im used to that with all updates, Im now running Android 2.2
As a side, is the FroYo update supposed to wipe apps/settings? Mine werent.
well mine seemed to work, I didn't care about reseting so my process went like this..
completely stock+unrevoked3 root+clockworkmod
RUU_Supersonic_1.47.651.1_Radio_2.05.00.06.10_release_CL195459.exe
OTA d/l and installed over 1.47
ota installed successfully
factory defaulted with 2.2 in place
Im running 2.2, but none of my settings were reset and all my apps are still there.
Does running this : RUU_Supersonic_1.47.651.1_Radio_2.05.00.06.10_rele ase_CL195459.exe erase all of the phone's previous memory?

Yes.
It does not erase your sd card tho.
So unrevoked 3 users can't use the Froyo OTA update?

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?
got mine really don't notice a difference..anyone else?
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App & yes I'm a chick.
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.

This link has been posted multiple times. Please search. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=8450686
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

Concerned about rooting

I'm concerned about rooting or modifying my Atrix a second time. My first Atrix that I had rooted stopped working when I tried to update the OS through the wi-fi download of the update. Mid-way through, the Android mascot and the exclamation sign came up and I had to pull the battery. When I rebooted the phone it said the modem failed to start up. I don't know the reason for it but I went to the store and used my insurance to get a fresh one. Since then, I have only sideloaded apps and now with the Gingerbread update I don't have to use a USB cord to install apps anymore. I'm afraid to try to root or modify my Atrix again.

Rooting should not have given you that problem. I've rooted numerous A4g's on froyo and they are all running GB fine after the ota. I also re-rooted them all now that they have GB. No issues. Also if your atrix didn't give you a boot error right when you turned it on you could have manually flashed a build and wouldn't have had to use you insurance.

Alright, that eases my mind. Perhaps I just had some hardware failure.
How does rooting affect everything? Like you said, you are able to update via OTA when rooted and everything is fine. I also have a question about how to root exactly. I saw the sticky but it only mentioned the leaked release of Gingerblur and not the OTA version. Does the information still apply?
Its a little more involved if don't have your bootloader unlocked. Follow the post mramirezusa has about automatic unlocked bootloader and root.

Be sure to read the instructions twice, then read it again for good measure!

Samsung Epic 4G with deodexed EI22...Please Help

Im presently running deodexed EI22 with EL30 modem. Its been running fine, but Im getting the OTA EL30 update. I let it download the first time, but when it tried to install, the screen stayed on a white triangle with a exclamation point inside with a blue android standing just to the lower right of the triangle. What does that mean? I thought you could not get OTA updated if your rooted. whats up? Can I get EL30 to work this way? Luckily for me I had backup my previous setting and it just went right back, but again the update showed and choose the update later button. Whats up? Any ideas? How can I get it to work or will it ever work? Help me please. Thanks.
There are at least 3 other threads on this. It means you cannot get the update if you are rooted and changed anything. Just pull the battery and reboot. If it goes into CWM just reboot system. You won't be bothered with update notifications anymore. Just because you are rooted doesn't mean Sprint can't push a notification to you.

this is getting annoying
every time I turn on background data I get a EL30 update notification. Is there any way to block this?

If your rooted and on a custom rom just press install now... it will fail and send you to a screen with an exclamation point... now pull battery and reboot... if it sends you to cwm then reboot from there...
