G1 hangs after 1.6 update

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.

Kies [update] 2.3.0.12035_16 (4/4/2012)

Seems there's a new kies update in town that launched today.

And what?

Do I get cookies when I install it?
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA

It's just a way for Samsung to remind you that they don't have your ICS update.

Having the same issue

where is linkd DUS?

New update for Kies and again the same issues. After installation the software is unable to detect the phone, although Windows do. I really don't want to blame developers inside Samsung, but it seems to me, that they don't pay much attention for this software.
underline: Kies seems to be the only software I know, that can't use the Windows 7 resize feature (windows key + any arrow). This is really ridiculous considering fact, that Win 7 are on the market for more than year.
So guys good luck, while updating

Yesterday when I opened Kies, it shows there is one update. I tried to upgrade with Kies itself. But failed. so I downloaded it from Samsung website and installed it, automatically it uninstalled my previous version. But now I'm facing a problem. Kies is not starting. One time it started, and shown windows encountered an error. until now Kies is not opening, I'm using windows 7.
I tried to uninstall it and re install the old version, but still it is not opening. what to do?
Kies version installed is 2.2.0.12014_18_8

Yep I'm another one
Kies keeps telling me there's an update and downloads and installs it but when it restarts it hasn't actually installed it and guess what there's an update available grrrrr

best option would be to remove kies completely from your system.also remove your samsung drivers from add/remove programs.once you've done that install ccleaner http://www.piriform.com/ccleaner/builds to clean your registry of any remaining bits and bobs.then re-install kies hopefully that should help.

For me the Kies update has done something strange but very useful
Last week I put the UK 3 mobile version of ICS onto my unbranded GS2 and before the Kies update I got the usual message that firmware cannot be updated via Kies.
Now, with this updated Kies it's happy to check the firmware of my GS2 (Telling me I'm on the latest version), even though I'm using a different brand of firmware than was originally on the phone (Was XEU, now H3G)

H
Same pb here, keeping update without any sucess

Reinstalled drivers via Kies, rebooted PC and it is worse than before...
So whenever ICS rolls out (said to be in few days), I will be maybe unable to update.... great

This software is crap.

Keys Update ver 2.3.0.12035_16 date 5th Apr 2012
Kies tried to update and then once again. First time it did not update. And it started again. And once again! But it stayed back with 2.1.11124_17. Wondering where the downloads went! Please let me know if Kies update to ver 2.3.0.12035_16 worked with anyone.

The us release is expected for 8 June 2012

I've lost my 3G connection after updating. It still shows signal strength etc but has no internet connection. I'm using an O2 Germany SIM card
There are some other people with the same problem at android-hilfe.de, so be careful if you need 3G, there might be some more SIM cards that stop working

Does anybody have a stock nandroid backup of A310_02/0039_0089_WE?
I cannot install the update because the checksum is wrong on a lot of files (20% of them to be precise).
Alternatively, I think a nandroid backup of a working OTA 4.0.3 would also work.

Hi!
I've got the same problem after deleting chinese FelxT9. No OTA possible and so I'm searching also for an nandroid backup WE for 3.1 or 4.0.3

Here you have FlexT9chinese from my 0089_WE
I already made the update but CWM is gone and I cannot reinstall it.
You can also modify the update-script and remove the check for the missing files.

Mine keeps getting this error.

Exactly the same as me and I've tried everything I can think of and come to the conclusion that 1. ICS isn't happening 2. The tablet is now broken.

It is not rooted and I could not root it now

OT: And the battery performance in 4.0.3 is still terrible.

The same problem to me!
To wifi connecting: you will be connected but you must change IP Settings to Static (not DHCP) and then manual entering IP etc.

Thanks it works for now
But it keep disconnecting and connecting from time to time
Any way it somehow works
But still can’t update it to ics

what about ROW?
Is there any info when this OTA update will be available also for rest of the world?

Can we say that this upgrade provided by Lenovo to ICS is not working well, regardless if the TPT's are root or not?
As anyone with non-rooted TPT made the official upgrade without problems?
Thanks

The real problem is Lenovo lacking willingness to supply us with a real factory image, so the tablet can be reflashed to absolute stock and reupdated.
It's like... your laptop breaking down because of software failure and then you can't even do a restore because you don't have the software. Only the patches provided by windows update.
Terrible move from Lenovo's side and I would consider taking it up with our consumer rights movement.

[Q] European U8860, Honor: Update always fails

I bought the European Huawei U8860 (Honor) some days ago.
My previous phone was a HTC Hero that has served me for several years. When I first got that one I rooted it and
got a quite good ROM onto it no problem, but my new Honor doesn't seem to be as "willing."
I would like to acchieve root, and a good stable, standard android rom with as little extra bloatware as possible.
The rom that was bundeled with it is nice and stable, but it's full of Huawei's "essential applications" whom I'm not to found of.
Therefore I thought I could root it and remove all the unnecessary stuff, but I haven't found any way that works.
After trying to root the bundeled rom I switched to upgrading to the official ICS released by Huawei, because it's supposed to be easier to root. It's not working either.
Here's what I've tried in detail:
* I've tried flashing the small UPDATE.APP that's supposed to let you root it with SuperOneClick, it unpacks and then fails showing a yellow warning symbol.
In the log I can read this:
Code:
Failure: OSBL°æ±¾Æ¥Åäʧ°Ü.dload_sd_ram_data_proc->(retry >= DLOAD_RETRY) failed!
* I've used SuperOneClick, it connects fine and interacts with the phone correctly but for some reason it hangs at
"step 7" Afterwards the phone isn't rooted.
* I've downloaded and tried updating to the "Cambodian ICS demo" found at Huawei's international site.
It fails in the same way as the UPDATE.APP. "dload/sd_update.log" reads
Code:
Failure: OSBL°æ±¾Æ¥Åäʧ°Ü.dload_sd_ram_data_proc->(retry >= DLOAD_RETRY) failed!
afterwards.
My SDcard is formatted in FAT32. The update program finds the update files and unpacks them.
Then as it's about to start installing, it fails.
Some of my theories:
Something wrong with my SDcard? Seems unlikely since my phone can read and write it fine and the updateprogram even manages to unpack the update.
Some sort of certificate problem? Are the updates signed in some way?
I've never seen anyone with my buildnumber (see below). Could it be that Huawei has some extra upped security in my version of the rom?
System information:
Android version: 2.3.6
Build number: U8860V100R001EURC00B875
Kernel:2.6.35.7-perf, [email protected]#1
I figured that this would be the best fit for questions about the Huawei Honor U8860. If I'm wrong, please move the post.
Any help figuring this out will be greatly appreciated!

Same problem
Hello
Did you ever discover a solution to this problem?
I am encountering the exact same thing, regardless of the method i use for upgrading and the upgrade i use, it always fails.
This happens both with custom and official updates.

Happens to me, too. Have B932 on my Honour, ran stable for a couple of weeks. Then suddenly while using it for 3 hours with a GPS navigator it crashed 2 times and after the 2nd crash it does not reboot anymore. Is cought in a bootloop. Get the same error when I try to flash another ROM. I think I will have to give it to the vendor for warranty.

for those who have this problem of update failed while trying to update their huawei U8860
it just happend to me as trying to install ICS update
I have the message fread_retry >= SD_FILE_RD_RETRY
I changed of sdcard for another and evrything is fine
the update is applying

BND-L21 UK Honor 7X - full Oreo OTA updates OK in Firmware Finder

Hi, UK Honor 7x owner. Had it direct from Honor when it first came out.
I was on BND-L21C432B101 when I first bought it and the only update I could get to update in Huawei firmware finder was the B102 update - I did that update a good while ago and never got any updates via the official update checker and no other update in firmware finder was OK to install via the "check firmware access" .
I have been hitting check for updates many times over the last week but no show. So feeling reckless I set firmware finder to full OTA only and the Oreo update was listed - checked via the "check firmware access" and it said it was OK to install. So set the auto DNS-VPN option and the phone updater picked up the full Oreo OTA (2.47gb BND-L21C432CUST432D2B330 (8.0.0.330)) and it downloaded fine, did a verification OK, then some other check that seem to fail - but I disabled the Firmware Finder VPN and hit to check again and all OK, reboot and it did the update and now on Oreo
Oreo works fine. My impressions (note I use nova launcher prime so my home screen looks and works the same as before).
Pretty underwhelming, 3 advantages. 1) latest security update. 2) face unlock (but it's a bit hit and miss) so finger print unlock is still the way to go. 3) Nav bar hide function - but a bit clunky as it doesn't auto hide. 4) treble support but no really solid ROMs to try yet so a bit niche
And that's about it! So if your stuck without Oreo at the moment then don't get too stressed out unless you absolutely can't survive without the latest security update.
I had heard H7 Oreo was treble compliant - and a checker says it is but not seamless updates (two partition requirement).
Cheers

So does it all work as expected then mate? Just downloaded it via your method, haven't installed yet though.
EDIT: No worries, works like a charm. Thanks man.

Make sure you are running the VPN in firmware finder, should have no problems then.

Suspect you would need to use a custom recovery after the update has been extracted. I can only point you at my original post for doing it the way I did it. Using the auto-dns VPN option worked for me. I assume the firmware finder servers must suffer some overload sometimes perhaps? Perhaps try at a completely different time of day you have tried before? Are you using mobile data or home BroadBand WiFi?

Tempted to unlock the bootloader and put LineageOS but I've read it reduces the battery life significantly
