Hello,
For the third time in one month, my G1 device hangs on the boot screen.
I've send the phone to tmobile two times and they fixed it.
When it comes back, it has firmware 1.5 CRB43.
But now the problem:
After a while, the phone comes up with an notice that a download is ready
(1.6), i choose install, the phone reboots a few times and then gets stuck on the boot screen. I don't know how to fix this or what is causing this problem.
I never rooted the phone, just using the official OTA updates.
I just don't understand why the official OTA 1.6 update is causing this to my official Tmobile G1 phone (bought in the shop).
Anybody who has an idea to get my phone to work again?
I can acces the recovery mode, but reset doesn't fix the problem.
You would have been better off getting cyan rom if you have root, since ota 1.6 is laggy like hell.

try manually flashing the OTA. you can download the update from here
http://getyourdroidon.com/builds/ota/signed-kila-DRC83-from-CRC1.c41b93c1.zip
rename it to update.zip and place it on the root of your SDcard
boot up your phone holding Home+Power
Press Alt+L
Press Alt+S
(it should say something about updating)
your phone should reboot automatically
pm if you need anymore help/clarification
@B-man007,
Okay, i've tried the file you said.
It says (in this order):
Finding update package
Opening update package
Verifying update package
Installing update
Installation aborted
So it doesn't install that file, really quick after the installing update the screen flashes and it says installation aborted.
I have an dutch (european) phone, your file looks like an usa update.
I also tried an EU version, but it gives the same error.
The problem is, i don't know which firmware version is on the phone right now.. I guess something between CRB43 and DRC92. Or maybe it has no firmware at all because it just hangs on the opening screen.
@Ace42, i don't have root, never had. Just using official OTA updates.

I've tried that website, but it's not working in my case.
Trying to install the original SPL gives an error (no signature files found).
I also can't install the Original DreaIMG.nbh file, it keeps saying:
00028002 not allow in bootloader.

I have android version 3.0.1 and was able to update mine from acer_a500_1.104.02_com_gen1 to 1.141.07 from the link above and was hoping this would help with my problem but didnt. I am having trouble downloading the update 4.010.11 that keeps popping up and when I try to download it the download stalls because, it is still connected to the internet, but just doesn't recieve anything anymore. you can read what i have all done so far in this tread. http://www.acertabletforum.com/forum/acer-iconia-tab-a500-help/5619-another-a500-wifi-issue.html At the beginning of this post the link takes you to updates that you can download and flash from the sdcard. Does anyone know which one I could use to get me to at least 3.2 so I can see if the wifi gets fixed. When I did the update to the 1.141.07 I did have to root my tablet to update a few files. Not to worried the root, I just want to try to get this updated. If anyone can offer some help I would greatly appreciate it.
Hello,
Can't update to 4.3, I get new FW notificaiton, it downloads, starts installation at quits at about 25% by rebooting itself and showing a message that I either need to update via Kies or get it to the service center. Any ideas what may be causing this?
I've got 4.2.2 rooted stock with triangle away, got another exactly the same phone and everything went really smoothly w/o any issues.
The worst of all that update is roughly 700 mb big and I have to redownload it again every time it fails.

happened to me also when upgrading to 4.3 on rooted stock w/ triangle away...
you have to unroot by reflashing a stock firmware in your region via odin...
Maybe I'd get a new OTA as tar file and flash it on top of current one w/o downgrading to stock?
I've tried installing the latest update three times, but it keeps failing (it failed at 25% installation the first try and 30% the second try, and 25% on the third). The phone boots up normally and has the message "Failed to update software. Update failed. Your device will recover the original configuration". Has anyone else encountered this, or know how to fix this?

I am manually downloading the firmware right now and will report back. I will also be mirroring the 5.0 firmware for everyone so we have more channels to download it from

I am having the same issue.. Have tried once so far and it failed. On the Galaxy Note III. I will try to see if I can install it manually as well and update this post.
Thank you
Used the Samsung Kies app and updated via my laptop and usb cable. Took a long time but it was successful. Now I am hoping to get writable access to my SD card.. fingers crossed.
Hi. I am a beta bod. Had Nougat running fine for weeks and got the OTA update yesterday. Unfortunately it fails to update. Tried 4 times now, have factory reset the phone and it still fails to update. Always gets to 31% then dies. Just tells me to contact Samsung support center. Just downloading the UK stock Marshmallow rom from sam mobile now but it is taking ages to download. Will try and Odin it back and try the update again. Anyone else having similar issues?
