Updating to Mango - Issues

Hi Guys,
This morning I was happy to see that my phone had pending updates and thought to myself: Gee Mango is Here!
However as I am trying to update my phone via Zune, I constantly get the following Error:
"Update Error
There was an error while trying to update your device with the latest software. Please try again.
The software mode reported by your phone isn't correct.
To see if there's more information about this error, click Web Help.
Error Code
801812C1"
Now I've tried the various other Mango update methods around the XDA forums but all gave me the same error as above.
I've searched in here but didnt find anything regarding this issue in DVP forums and could not find anything about this error code on Google that occurred with recent updates. (it's similar to a previously documented error on the Samsung 7 where the phone would reboot repeatedly in step 6 of the update process. The fix for that according to a post in the MS forums was to "wait and try again another day".)
Heck I've even done a factory reset on the phone and just tried to update fresh but no go either...
I was just wondering if anyone had any ideas? Thanks in advance for any assistance!
Additional FYI:
Carrier: T-Mobile-Unlocked
And I've just uninstalled/reinstalled Zune to run update again and still no go...
Edit: Just did a CLEAN install of Zune 4.7 on a factory reset unit and now I get "Device driver installation failed" windows error message during Step 6 of the Update process...

[Q] No network, or just for a few seconds...

So, I was eagered to update my phone with the new SFR-FR update, got it all set.
It started all with the 8018001E error I got when trying to update to this update, so I thought I would just leave it, and I changed my carrier to 000-88.
Then I saw there was another method to update, with the WP7 Cab Sender and the update as a .cab file. Tried this one out when I was still being debranded (000-88), this time the installation failed with error 80180011.
Then (oh dear), I downloaded the Samsung Update Tool from the Omnia 7 support page, and installed a update (or something). Now I tried the official way again (changing carrier to SFR-FR, then Zune update), this time I got the 80180097 error! Yes its raining errors today.
After the Samsung Update Tool thingy, my phone couldn't connect to any network, or sometimes it's connecting to my KPN network for a few moments.
I am tired of this all, all I wanted was to install a few OEM updates, now I end up with this. Can anyone help me out? Really appreciated!

[Q] cant update to 4.3

Hey.
I got a notification to update my device this morning so I connected it to WiFi and let it download.
It was very slow for some reason and at about half of the download I had to go, I left the WiFi range and it stopped the download with a message something like that "cant connect to the server please try again", so i tried again and it said that I have the latest update already installed.
Then i tried with KIES, it found a firmware update but failed to actually start the update after the download.
so now i have 4.2.2 and OTA says that the latest update already installed.
I have tried to clear cache, delete all in google service framwork, revert updates for all google stuff, nothing so far
Last thing i want now is to flash it, can I do something to fix this?
The device is Galaxy S4 GT-I9500, stock rom not rooted
Thanks for your time

Same here my friend, I hope someone can give any advice on this.

[Q] T-Mobile Lollipop update failed

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.

Verizon software update failed!?

This is my mom's Verizon S5. It was previously rooted, but not anymore. I don't remember how I removed root, but it was simple and people online assured me that it would be easy and my phone would, for all intents and purposes, be like it was never rooted. It's on v4.4.2.
It keeps prompting to update. It downloads the update and prompts me to install. I tap to install, the phone restarts, and then a notification says "Verizon software update. Software update failed." When I tap that, a message says "Software update unsuccessful. Sorry, there was a problem updating your SAMSUNG SM-G900V. No changes were made." There is no more information. It keep prompting to update and repeats the same issue.
When I search, the information doesn't make much sense. I see complicated suggestions like flashing ROMs, Odin, using Kies, etc. I don't understand why all that is necessary.
