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?

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.

Can't update OTA to GB

Was z4 rooted then unrooted to upgrade to GB.
I'm running the stock rom right now. OTA update downloaded just fine. The phone resets like it's suppose to then half way through the update an exclamation point appears and it stops then boots normal.
After everything is loaded a box says, "Update Failed".
How can I manually update? I'm not really into the rooting thing. I called verizon and 3 different people said that there is no software update for the Droid X.
I figured if I had to tell THEM about the update that I wasn't gonna get anywhere with them.
Thanks

System information
2.3.340.mb810
android version
2.2.1
Just trying to do the OTA. Keeps failing. I dunnno wtf.

I've got a similar issue. OTA update failed (I un-rooted but didn't flash).
I then used RSD lite to flash the sbf back to 2.3.320. When I check for system updates it tells me there aren't any.
Do I just wait a day or so until my phone recognizes the update and downloads it or is there something else I'll have to do?

You need to be on 2.3.340, I think.

If you unrooted, you need to SBF back to 340. I used Z4 root/unroot like many others and it just wouldn't update, same as you, it downloaded but about 25% through it failed.

If anyone here needs SBF instructions, send me a pm and I will show you a great site to help you out

Yeah, he was referring to lamarrk's post. For you, SBF'ing back to .340 should do it. Some updates have failed in the past if the phone was ever rooted, since unrooting it apparently doesn't completely remove all traces of the rooting.

Awesome. Still at work. Crap.

That's why I have RSD Lite and everything else configured at home as well as work.

Is there a way to update to 3.2 without loosing root.
Seems like we don't have a way to root it again afterwards.
Sorry newbie to the Tablet world.

Can someone getting the update please pull the link or give before and after version numbers?

This error comes up after the download completes and it says "preparing update" I don't have any extra Recovery installed. Completely stock 3.1 A500

just an idea
Go intto settings, manage apps, all apps - find the system updater and clear it's data, reboot, should reprompt download and may work.
May not. Worth a shot

so is it pull down loh for anybody in Europe/US yet?

Anyway, regarding invalid update I finally managed to pass the invalid system message. BUT, when it rebooted and started updating suddenly it stopped and showed exclamation traffic sign over droidbug in a middle of the updating.
Rebooted and it just reported failed update.
So I guess we have to be patient, eventually it will work.
For those who are on stock rom and never rooted, I recommend to root,then CWR and backup, cause if it happened that I could not boot after unsuccessful update there is backup, so no sweat.

OTA update questions

I've already asked this in another thread about this but can't get my answer. So I'm rooted with an unlocked boot loader. I'm running motleys kernel. I just got notification of the OTA update 4.1.2 Can I let it install this or should I flash the stock kernel first then let it install?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2

Bump this. For hours now, I just stare at the notification "System update available" hoping it would say "You're good to go, trust me". Lol. So, Stock rom, stock kernel, binaries updated, rooted and unlocked bootloader. Anyone similar had tried?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2

Damn. I give it a go but it didn't even cross my mind that I've modded Maps.apk installed and f*** the update process failed with error:
assert failed: apply_ patch_check("/system/app/Maps.apk", "randomcharacters", "randomcharacters")
Check system still 4.1.1 but when press system updates, says mine is up to date. Uninstall maps, still the same. Download the patch and manual update, upon restart android is updating but check about, still 4.1.1. I've tried a few similar steps, nada. Totally screwed it.
I need some advice here before I waste hours returning this to stock and start all over again. Sigh.

[Q] update fails utilty not helping

Got this phone in a stupid trade after the bootloader opportunity had passed. Been running safestrap for awhile but wanted to play around with whatever stock its up to. Used Matts utility. Flashed 4.1.2. Rooted with chopper. Vooded to protect. Got the OTA. Failed. Tried again and used OTA grabber. Copied to computer. Tried to ADB Sideload. Started OK then bam! At least this way I got reason:
assert failed: apply_patch_check ("EMMC:boot:10485760:6c80d1f837bb3a127bc7aabd0164afd09e51475e:10485760:bbc1976c3cf2987f182a4747934ffb8d0f532fd8")
any suggestions?

Woaaahhh.
Premises are kinda wrong here. If you aren't on the latest version of stock, you *should* still be able to unlock. Have you tried to yet?

I apologize for the delay in getting back to this thread Been caught up with other projects I have attempted a few times to unlock the bout loader through the utility however it always fails The inability to update with the ota as bbecome rather annoyin as it keeps asking

What's the date on your fast boot menu... I ask because if it is indeed unlockable I'd hate to say use this and do that and have this and that kill an opportunity for you
