Why did you pull the battery?! The triangle screen is the phone updating... Was it stuck on that screen for more than 10 minutes?

It wasnt stuck , but it had the status bar down below and then that went away b4 it finished loading , I figured it failed so I tried turning it off but it wouldnt turn off after holding the power button for 10 sec's.
Put the battery back in and the phone booted

No idea whether it truly finished updating or not.... you are lucky you didn't brick your phone, especially if you pulled the battery during the radio update portion of it. There is a reason the instructions for updating from google say "don't remove the battery during the update process, let it finish on its own"(or something to that effect).
You might want to try re-applying it to make sure everything was flashed correctly.

in the system updates it is saying the fone is up to date.
another thing is...
How did it download the update when I didnt have wifi or 3G connected?
I have it set to only get 2G (have no data plan on 3G and no credit) and while at work this morning it prompted me to install update.

The update would still download over Edge. When you go to Settings>About Phone, is the firmware version 2.1 or 2.1-update1?
Also, don't assume anything fails. If you're unfamiliar with the update procedure, feel free to ask up before doing anything. There was another guy whose phone was stuck on that screen for over an hour. He was right to pull the battery... but in your case, it was risky. Anyway, glad to hear you're not bricked man.

Well, you can download the update file from the Development forum... follow the procedure directly...just make sure to rename the file to update.zip when you copy it to your sd card.

Anybody without a corp account try flashing this yet?

i flashed it today and I do NOT have the CorpEmail account. I really hope this doesn't stop me from getting root.

i have, no differences at all. battery life will tell in a day or two

So are we safe letting update go thru? Or should we hold off if we want root?

I wouldn't flash it yet. It contains a recovery image and I don't know if anyone knows for certain what's different about the image.

Would this have the correct test keys?

I flashed. Not noticing anything unexpected. Im getting my incredible replaced anyway. Sounds like I'm listening to people talk underwater.

I doubt you'd notice anything different; I'm just afraid that they've closed a useful hole.
Now if this thing would just stop asking me every 20-30 minutes ... grrrr.

The update fixes the email client for business users.
The meat of the update they don't tell you about, however, is there is a new recovery image in the updater. So yeah, maybe a hole was closed.

I held down volume down button and hit power, booted into the prompt, selected "recovery mode," and all I got was a red triangle and exclamation point.
I downloaded the zip, renamed it update.zip, and put it on /sdcard using Astro.
Am I doing something wrong?

I have the exact same problem.

dont do it

Just checking to see if people successfully installed this OTA update from the mirror site link provided earlier in this thread. I think it's my only chance to go to FroYo without using RUU/wiping the phone.
I figure I can update from 1.22.605.0 with this update and then go to the FroYo thread and run that update. Does that sound like it will work?

This whole subject was coverd in another thread.

read the other thread, you need to update to 1.22.605.2 first, easy and does not lose date.

Root and OTA
I have rooted with unrevoked 3.1 but still have stock 2.1. Do I need to unroot to install the OTA or will the OTA still be pushed to my phone while I am still rooted?

I just got my Fascinate today. 9/29/10

I want to root it and deodex it.
What is the easiest way to go about it.
I read his thread but it says you have to be rooted for it to work.
But i dunno what my OTA or what ever is im just being apprehensive cause i don't wanna go in gung ho and **** it all up!
Thanks guys

First start with the thread Root, Recovery, and Update. Follow the first section called "Note 1" to root and flash clockwork recovery. Then you can follow the steps to flash the Deodexed system. Make sure you make a backup of your system before you try to load the deodex just in case.

Yeah... definitely do your reading before you start cluttering the forums with these silly posts. If you read the Sticky Thread at the top you would not be having these questions. Call me an ass, call me whatever... but if people would just read everything would be so much better.

I did read that thread. it hasnt been updated in like 3 weeks so i didnt want to do something out dated, As i said i didnt know what OTA that would be great if there was a sticky for lingo too. But Im sorry im cluttering your precious little forums bro. Hope you can sleep at night knowing that will be not packed with posts about people looking for advice without people being condescending assholes.

The thread hasn't been updated because Theirs no updates simply everything in the root thread is confirmed and working just follow instructions very carefully and you shouldn't run into problems. But as you know it if "You" screw up then you might can get bricked.
I just followed the One click root method like 5 mins very easy then Clockwork recovery was easy trust me not hard.

Seriously.
I feel that if the first five posts on the forum were just stickied copies of the LOOK HERE FIRST thread, people would still be making these waste-of-space posts.
Human nature, I guess.
I'm happy you got your phone and I share your excitement over it, but I don't really care that you have it, and I don't need to know that, either.
After you're all Deodex'ed, Rooted, and Backed-up, just wait around and lurk like the rest of us until somebody makes something for us.
and btw i learned all of the lingo by typing things i didn't understand into google.

Very well put... lmfao at people getting all butt hurt. Come on mods, delete the thread.

When i run the root with the 1 click method after it says exploiting my phone its going to force the files on it says error: phone not phone. it retries about 5 more times and then it just ends.
Any help?

When you ran the Odin did you click Phone or PDA your suppose to click pda and select the files.. you shouldnt mess up anything if you just read carefully so simple.

I havent got to odin yet. After It restarts my phone and tells me to unlock it it says it should take 3 minutes to finish. It says it error: cannot find phone. this happens when it is trying to put thr.files on the phone.

^^ The same thing happened to me until I downloaded different drivers than what was posted in the one click thread. Google "Samsung Fascinate drivers" and click on the link through Verizon.
I couldn't tell you why the ones in the thread didn't work, but I guess sometimes that's the way it is... Also, the less you have running on your PC the better. I made a different login just for hacking/cell phone stuff that doesn't have much of anything running on startup.

Help! My phone is stuck

So my phone was on .91, rooted, and today i just unlocked the bootloader (with this script http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1182871). But now after it boots it wants me to enter my blur accont and as soon as i hit next, it wasnts to do the update to .141. I can copy the update but when i hit install later it kicks me back a screen and i have to do it all over again. Is there anything i can do to fix my phone. It is basically unusable

I'm not sure why a new thread, I think you could've just continued in the thread you already opened...
I assume you tried this already?
http://cleanimport.xda/index.php?threads/1027994/

Thank you very much! I was searching for a way to stop the ota, not blur and sorry for opening a new thread, i wasnt sure if anyone would check it again

You definitely should not have started a second thread asking the same question, and questions go in the Q&A section.
What do you want to do now that you are rooted and booted? Stay on GB 4.5.91? Flash a custom ROM?

Yes i understand this now.
So far I've decided to stay with the stock 4.5.91 (for now) but i added faux's 1.3 Ghz kernel. It seems to be running much faster than before. Although I realized that there's now a bunch of apps I downloaded from play that are no longer available for my phone. What would cause this issue?

To stay with stock you have two choices I can think of:
First, flash a 4.5.141 fruitcake.
Second, find a way to disable updates. You could edit /system/etc/motorola/com.motorola.blur.service.blur/defaults.xml to a server that is inactive or doesn't exist. That will prevent your os from finding updates.
Maybe someone else knows another way to disable updates.

I was able to disable the updates by renaming blurupdater.odex and blurupdater.apk to a .bak.
What exactly is fruitcake, just a modified update that you can put on your phone with rom manager? (Sorry I haven't been able to find out too much about it)

Someone else had this issue with the 2nd OTA update as well (never been rooted)...it seems the OTA update changed the status somehow...There was a solution posted, I just can't remember what it was, but while you are waiting for someone to weigh in, you might want to have a bit of a search for that thread...pretty sure it was this forum (if not it was androidcentral that I read it).

what should i search for

Sorry if I knew that, I could find the post for you. ;-p It was awhile back and I honestly don't remember other than your post sounds quite similar. Maybe "device modified message"?? In the post they definitely mentioned 3 things: 1) that they hadn't rooted their device 2) that the modified message appeared AFTER doing an update 3) they couldn't update again after the status changed to modified. But I can't remember any of the exact wording.
Sorry I'm not more help, I just mainly wanted to reassure you that someone else has come up against this, and there is a solution.
Hope someone can give you better help.

Turn the phone off, pull the external SD card, and then restart it. Your status should go back to official. Once it does it's OK to reinsert the SD card. I have no idea what causes this issue but what I described seems to correct it.

You might need to reboot twice with the SD card out.
