update terminate UPDATE FAIL- Now what?

I was trying just to downgrade from CRC1 to RC29. When I booted the phone with the "camera+power" function and started the update (per this thread per this thread ) and it said "update terminate UPDATE FAIL" now I cant boot into my phone. Is there a way to fix this?

I've tried redownloading the file from 4 different sources now and continue to get the error. Any help would be great

Did you check the md5sum to make sure it was a complete download?

im not sure what you mean by that. I used winmd5sum and got that they were different. What should it say?

A little initiative, PLEASE.

Okay the one I got says that its the same. Now when it boots up stuck in the rainbow screen and says there is no img file. Anything else i can try or should i just take it to tmobile and tell them it stopped during update?

[Q] Update broke my phone - Help?

i got the JI6 update (or J16, not sure which it is) and installed it. Now its just stuck on the power on screen, plays the little t-mobile tune(but not the animation) and sits there for the rest of time.
I have a 2 nandroid backups, tried the most recent one with clockwork, and that didnt help, im trying the older one now...
It was rooted with LagFix. Can anyone help?

You need to restore via odin...

Can you link a thread please, i dont know anything about odin, or how to use it. Thank you

Bumping in hopes someone will assist me in my noobness

Welcome to the club... This happened to me this morning and i'm trying to get it to work again via ODIN now.
Here's what I was told to do. Follow the "Part 2 of the guide and download the necessary .zip for ODIN at the top of the page.

Yeah it took about 2 hours but my phone lives again!!!

HELP!!! Tried to Odin, feel like jumping off a bridge!

Ok, so my bosses give me their new vibrants to upgrade to the leaked 2.2 that's on the site. They really didnt like it so i went to restore from the backup i made with clockworkmod... now one of the phones got stuck when it tries to restore. I tried re-installing 2.1 but i don't know what happened but now i have the at&t logo when it boots! I can't take that back to tmobile and say "oh my phone doesnt work i want a new one" when it has the at&t logo on it lol. does anyone know where i can get a stock boot.bin file? does anyone know how i can restore this phone from factory any other way than going into system recovery and deleting all user data because that didn't work. im stuck and i need to give my boss his phone back before he flips out even more. can someone help me...
maybe i can odin back? but i tried that and it doesn't work... odin installs the older 2.1 i found online, but it won't boot... it just keeps going into recovery.
when i try to restore from clockworkmod it starts restoring but gets stuck on app it gets stuck restoring .pcsync_stream
if anyone can help i'll give my first born your name lol

Did you try the odin instructions I put in the sticky?
If it works, Callip is probably not a name you want to give your kid.

try this ;

yeah nothing seems to be working. is there any button i can press to get this thing to go back to stock like the iphone has?

i odined what i thought was 2.2 for vibrant but it was a 2.2 for captivate (yeah im an idiot) and thats why im getting the att logo.
does anyone have a pda, csc, modem and pit file for vibrant? maybe that'll work, but just the pda and the pit doesnt seem to work for me.

Did you try repartitioning when you flashed the stock files via odin?

^^ did you look at the post I referenced? It has the files you are asking for.

yeah repartitioning got the at&t logo out... im going to look back at your thread and look for the files you say are on there. btw, thank you guys for your help. ill keep updating this post as i try more things.

now im getting
E:Can't mount /dev/block/st110 (invalid argument)
E:Copy_dbdata_media:Can't mount DBDATA: copy default media content failed.
wtf?

trying to get those files... and i get
Oops! (509)
This account's public links are generating too much traffic and have been temporarily disabled!
LOL im sooo loving life right now

any way for me to recover using my backups? they seem to be getting stuck on certain files and not moving at all.

Sometimes it get's stuck. Don't rush the process. How long have you waited? if it takes more than 20 minutes, its abnormal. If its around 5-10, its typically normal. Can you tell us where it gets stuck at?

.pcsync_stream ... was there for 30 minutes and i just gave up.

dammit... one of the phones is now showing me a cell phone - exclamation mark in a triangle - computer icon. wtf does that mean?

it gets stuck at HALGPS_conf.cfg on the other phone

Ok email me bro [email protected]

ROM Install Issue

My original issue got resolved thanks to s15274n. This mans ROOT walkthrough is amazing!!!!!
NOW I have a problem getting my ROM to load.
Im trying to Install the Malice ROM. and nothing is going quite as smoothely as I think it should.
This is attempt 2, the first time I waited an hour to try and install this rom, straight from SD, and I think the furthest it got was "installing ROM"
nothing. pull the batery out (I assume thats a total noob move, and at beast ill-advisable.) rebooted, went about my day. well, im trying again, and now the furthest ive gotten is "Installing update" the status bar is never filling or scrolling though.
Whats the problem? (going on about 15 minutes with no change btw)

You must use Odin to either
-Flash back to stock so you can reinstall packages
or
-Flash a voodoo integrated kernel so you can flash roms w/ CWM/Voodoo Recovery

Download a voodoo kernel and flash it using odin.

ok, I have the kernal and I have ODIN. once again I have never used ODIN< I definately used a one click root.
does anybody have a link to a thread with *detailed*, hold my hand, walk me through it and pat me on the butt at the end Instructions on this? It's a learning process and damn if im not learning something by the time this is all said and done lol.

last time it sat still for me when it said installing update, it was a bad download. I redid my download of the rom and it went through fast and smoothly. Thats how i fixed my prob maybe it will fix it for u.

I really need some help i want to cry

do you have the .pit and .tar files? Also, are you turning your phone off? There is an awesome guide by s15274n called the noob guide. It goes over very specifically how to root, it also has a small tutorial on rooting using ODIN3. Search the q&a forum, i believe thats where the guide is.
Also just to clarify, im not saying ur a noob or inept, im just saying its a super awesome guide. My phones neen rooted for three days now, ive flashef a bunch of roms and i always flash nack to stock...REALLY helpful tutorial. Good Luck!

Trying to push firmware, but says wrong SKU

Hello all,
At this moment, my phone says i have no OS :/
I am trying to recover my phone. ZE551KL.
in twrp i am trying to install the firmware it needs. but it keeps telling me
PLEASE USE THE RIGHT SKU FOR UPDATING...
Error executing updater binary in zip '/external_sd/UL-Z00T-WW-1.17.40.1531-USER.ZIP'
i have tried all the firmware for my phone and i have tried this as well
http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenf...601kl-t3333482

Hey bud! Welcome to the **** show.
Okay so I am currently trying to debug this myself and have help and am struggling like no other!!!
However what I can say is that CM13 from before June 5th might work. Aside from that try to get a img of stock to restore to your phone.

if you have TWRP, go with the rom that is titled "stock rooted deodexed".
When I was having problems with my ZE551kl (not anything like the one you've described), that was the only ROM that worked for me.
The audio out port (earphone port) does not work with that ROM, but otherwise it is FANTASTIC
also, check out this:

Could you then update to the next version once that rom was installed?
