So after much difficulty I got my girlfriend's Continuum rooted. The 1-Click Super Rooter did it. Took several tries, though. I thought this would maybe cure the parsing error when trying to install many apps. It didn't. When I try to sideload, I get an error that says OLDER_SDK. I got a Captivate after she got this Continuum and part of the reason was I figured the same basic approach would work on both but my Continuum is now nicely rooted with Clockwork and CM7 and her Continuum is only running half the apps she wants. Fpsece doesn't work either even with exactly the same files as are working on my phone. Stuff doesn't even show up in the marketplace for her that did when I had stock Froyo on my Captivate. What's up with Continuum? I feel guilty that mine is working so nicely and hers isn't.
..... You are getting these errors is because our phone is stuck on 2.1 not 2.2 .... That would explain all ofthat xP
2.2 was released though by imnuts, download it and don't forget to than him

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?

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.

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.

Alright, So I recently just moved from an Evo to the epic. And I'm glad I did. The evo was great, But I missed having a keyboard and the epic hasn't dissapointed.
I have a couple questions though,
Rooting on the evo was super easy, I'm still confused on how to use the one click root for epic. People are saying it doesn't work? And I read on some website if you just want to change roms and change kernals just to flash a custom recovery onto it and don't root, because rooting will only let you get root-only apps.
Please? Explain on how to root with the one click root method because I'm Completely lost on how to do this for the epic 0_o
The one click root does work. I followed the instructions and my phone is rooted. I'm new to android and to rooting but not new to modding phones/computers/software. After rooting you can still download none root apps in addition to root apps. From what I've seen most of the rooting issues come from people not following the instructions or not truely understanding them. I haven't flashed to a new rom yet. I'm waiting on froyo. So I can't say for sure but its my understanding that you have to have root premissions to flash a custom rom.

As far as how to root with the one click root I installed the samsung usb drivers for my operating system (win 7 64bit) Note: after reading several posts the driver installation takes a little bit. Click on the installing drivers message to bring up the install window. I let the installtion run for almost 15 minuted and it still gave me an error but after turning on usb debbuging on phone connecting with usb, mounting sd card, and running the one click root my phone restarted and I was rooted. If you search other posts you'll find more detailed instructions.

Correction. You don't have to root to flash a rom I don't know what I was thinking when I typed that. All you need is clockwork recovery.
Sent from my SPH-D700 using XDA App
The only problem you'll encounter, if any at all, with rooting is with driver installation. If u follow the guides tho and don't try to experiment, u shud be good to go. These roots are one click as well as it involves running a simple bat file. Some phones are more finnicky than others, but they shud give u no trouble if u know what ur doing. Good luck.
And yes, the keyboard on this rules

Ok, so you are up and running then. The only thing i was going to suggest is flashing SBF to get you back to Stock Android 2.2 and starting the process over again. I had a similar problem and wiped everything clean IOT get what i wanted. SBF'ing is simpler then you think, all you need is 2 files (rsdlite_4.8 and VRZ MB810_2.3.15 sbf). There's lots of articles here on it and I used them when I thought I bricked my phone. I started all over and was able to receive my 2.2.1 update.....finally!!
have you done the ota update? if so use 2.3.32.sbf you can get it by google and search droid x 2.3.32 sbf and its the first result. and dl rdlite 4.8. very easy to flash. several guides on here as stated.
I got it my drivers are up to date but won't find my phone.. And I'm leary all I got to do is that file and update?

Try running rsdlite as the administrator. (Right click rsdlite)
Now won't find it and I got a toshiba, only a little bit over a year old

EDIT - finally got rsd lite to recognize but first attempt failed trying again... pray
EDIT #2 - YEs, rebooted with 2.3.320 now to find 2.3.340 n flash it
Ok, so I ran sbf to get back to stock Froyo (2.3.340) so that I could prepare to load the rooted GB (596). The sbf ran fine. My problem is when I ran z4 (1.3.0) to root. It remains stuck on "Running exploit in order to obtain root access...".
I've pulled the battery. Un-installed z4 then re-installed, but it stays stuck at the same message. By "stuck" I mean over an hour. I even re-sbf'd. No luck.
I've run this version of z4 before and had no problems - usually only took around 5 minutes.
I've searched several forums, and most say to try the battery pull and/or re-install, but these don't seem to be working for me.
Any help would be appreciated.
DX - Currently 2.3.340
Try using gingerbreak instead of z4root. It is supposed to be able to root froyo as well
Thanks Jmoney,
I looked up alternate methods of rooting and came upon SuperOneClick. Seemed to do the trick. It can be found at shortfuse.org (can't post hyperlinks yet...) for any of those that may run into the same problem.
2 months ago I had to reinstall z4 5 times and reboot phone as many to get it to work. Installed on another x in 2 minutes. Do know why the difference, but never sbf'd to get it to work.

One of the popular links has a bad copy of Z4, I D/L'd it and it did the same thing (didn't realize that Z4 was bad).
So I redownloaded everything and it did it again, SBF'd and it did it again...so I finally went through my massive download folder, pulled a Z4 I had downloaded a couple of weeks prior and it worked fine.
Someone else also mentioned this - I think I got it from the "how to" .595 video link...but others have linked to it as well.
The z4 that I was using was from an apk that I downloaded a couple of months ago, and it worked then. Don't know why it didn't work this time.

For alot of phones, you hafta click 'temporary root' first then when that completes, hit 'permanent root' I have used z4 1.3 a few times and that's the only way to make it work.

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!
