When I manually try to check for updates on my Captivate I get an AT&T server connection error. This did not start until recently. Anyone have the same issue?
Yes ever since I loaded the update.

Great. Not even going to ask how we get 2.2 when it is released if we're unable to connect to the server.

As large as it is going to be I would say they will have multiple sites available..or just what till Samsung has it on their site and download it.

Yep. One day it works, the next it doesn't. I thought it was because I flashed to 2.2 but I went back to JH7 and still the same.

I'm afraid something in the update caused a problem. Not sure though.

I'm thinking that AT&T took the servers down because of all the charcoal (bricks) the last OTA caused.
try this solution if still having issues..worked for me:
Got to "Settings", "Applications", "Manage applications". When in "Manage applications", hit the menu key and select "filter". Once in "filter" mode select all. Now look for "Device management" and access it. When in "Device management" hit "Clear data".
Now you will need to reboot the phone. Once the phone reboots, wait a couple minutes and check for updates. If you just recently checked, go in date and time and change the date to a day ahead. This will bypass the ATT 24hr check.

Usually when you copy and paste (word for word) someones fix from different forum, you give out the source. Thanks

What happens when you guys go to "Settings" -> "Software update"?
Is there always a "Resume update" option?
When I click it, it always says "no firmware". I also didn't think I had any update to resume.
Also when I click "Check for update" I generally get "cannot communicate with server" or some weird message. Then I can't check again for 24 hours. Is there a way to get around the 24 hour limit?
i am having the same problem with my device.

From my understanding, the "Resume Update" would be used if you postpone the update.
Also, to get around the 24 hour limit, you can change your clock 1 day ahead, however if it fails, it'll be 24 hours from tomorrow, and so on, and so on.
I get the same thing. Its probably because I'm rooted.

I received the ota update and was rooted. It's hit or miss, no good explanation for it.

Heres what you do to go around the 24 hour limit:
Settings > Applications > Manage Applications. Tap Menu > Filter. Select Running. Then Select Device Management, Press Clear Data. Reboot Phone. You should be able to check for an update again.
Ive also been having the same problem. When i select Check Update, it says fail to connect with AT&T Server. I chatted with AT&T Tech Support and heres what they said:
Welcome to AT&T Total Care Chat. My name is 'Sara ' and I’ll be happy to assist you today.
[Verification of Account]
Sara : Did you receive a text message or an e-mail before your tried to download this software update?
Me: I did not receive a text message or an update. However before i got a replacement phone, my original Captivate downloaded the update fine.
Me: I meant i did not receive a text message or an email.
Sara : I am sorry and do apologize. We wwere told by Samsung that they are releasing this software by the IMEI of the phones and a text message or e-mail will be sent to your phone when your IMEI is ready for you to be able to download this software up.
Sara : Then you will be able to go the Samsung's web site to do this.
Me: Ive already tried hard reset and factory reset but it still does not fix the problem. This has been happening for teh past few days since i got my replacement phone.
Me: I did not get a text message for my original phone, however i could still download teh update. and the update has been released for a while.
Me: As i recall, the update has been released since Sep 23.
Me: I understand Samsung is releasing software by IMEI, but it has been about 2-3 months since the update. And as far as i know, this has been happening to only replacement phones.
Sara : We were told on Tuesday by a Samsung representative that the software was being released in waves by the IMEI of the phones and would not be available to download until your phone received noticfication.
Sara : I am sorry, if you have done a hard shock and master reset on your phone and your phone is still not working then I would suggest that you go into a retail store for hands on assistance.
Sara : What is your zip code and I will be happy to locate a store for you?
Me: I understand. Is there an estimated date when all phones will get updates?
Me: I know there is a store near me, Its okay.
Me: The reason i am having difficulty grasping your explanation is because my original phone never got a message or i never got sent an email, however i could still update.
Sara : I am sorry, we do not have an estimated *date when all phones will get updates, only Samsung would have this information.
Sara : Samsung- The number for Samsung is 1-888-987-HELP(4357) , 7AM - 9PM Central (Monday through Friday), 9AM - 6PM Central (Saturday).
Sara : I understand, and that is why one of our agent here contacted Samsung and this is what we were told.
Me: Okay, thanks for the information. I appreciate your help.
Sara : We are not the phone manufacturers and do not issue software upgrades to the phones.
Sara : You are welcome, do you have any more questions?
Me: No, thats it. Thank You.

Hi guys, sorry if this had been covered, but I just couldn't find it in the forum.
I'm trying to update my dad's Droid 2 Global (GSM, outside US), from stock 2.2 (with no updates applied ever) to gingerbread via OTA.
But when I tap on System Update, it states that it shows the following:
"Motorola account required:System update*is not available without a Motorola service account"
I've defrost bloatware, unrooted with z4root, and rebooted twice, but it's still there.
Any idea how to get around this? Thank you very much.
Let it "register with the server" and it will be ok (takes few moments on the rolling circle - be patient) Of course, make sure phone can connect to the internet...
Thanks for the reply
only option in that popup was to "setup account" if I remember correctly, phone's not with me at the moment.
When I tap on that, it just shows me all the app accounts that my phone has, ex: google, whatsapp, email. There isn't any Motorola Service account. There is one that could be nearest to a motorola service which reads "Backup", but going in there just shows can't connect to server.
I have all the manual updates, and can help you update manualy(not ota) if you want me to
Thanks rootfan
I think I'll try going factory reset first to see if it helps. I'll come back to you if I need any help.
Hi all,
I recently restored an Infuse to full stock, in order to sell.
It is an AT&T version, 2.3.6, with the I997UCLB3 radio.
The person who bought it from me cannot download anything from the playstore. We can peruse the store, do searches, but when it is time to hit the "Accept & Download" button, the playstore complains that "Error: error retrieving information from server [RPC:S-5:AEC-0]"
Also, it seems that google talk refuses to sign in as well.
Can anyone help?
Thanks

Hello,
Long time lurker, first time poster, so forgive me in advance for any rules I've overlooked. I'll start by saying I am the legitimate owner of the phone. I have searched all over for information regarding FRP bypass for this particular phone and version, but have come up with nothing. I believe I found a method that gets me halfway to the goal, but I'm stuck at a particular point. Let me quickly go through what I've done so far;
1) After factory reset, from the main setup screen, go into accessibility.
2) At the bottom, click Switch Access.
3) Enable Switch Access, and then click settings in the lower right.
4)At the bottom, click Assign Keys to Actions
5) At the bottom, assign a key press to overview. I use volume down.
6) Back out to the device setup home screen.
7) Click through until you reach the network selection screen.
8) You will need to connect to a network that requires sign-in through a browser. The xfinity hotspots work the best.
9) Once connected to xfinity, the phone will auto open Chrome.
10) Use a free trial for xfinity hotspot, or log in with your comcast credentials.
11) Search google for "google maps", and find the result for google maps.
12) when you click on the google maps link, it will open a menu asking you to choose either chrome or the maps app.
13) select the maps app, and do a search for a random business that has a phone number.
14) Once the business info comes up, click call.
15) This will open the phone app. From there, go into the settings, and click on sound settings.
16) Voila! This brings you to the settings menu.
Now, my issue. It seems there is no way (or no option at least) to do a soft system restore from within the operating system. Now, I have tried disabling various apps, and stopping various proccesses in order to remove whatever process is responsible for the FRP notice, but to no avail. Ive even rooted the device and uninstalled anything I could think might be the culprit.
What do we do next folks??
Halp!
Thanks.:good:
I had this happen to me earlier and used this method. www(dot)youtube(dot)com/watch?v=b7xlXPDBxmY Just go download the file over at his blog. Put the phone in download mode and pick option #2. His phone reboots automatically in the video. Mine didn't, but I just powered it off and back on. I then had the option to skip past the the email portion.
just unplug ur router exactly when the phone says checking for updates and it'll let you skip the whole Google account thing. but you have to do it at the perfect time. took me 5 or 6 tries but it worked[emoji56]

Bumping to see if there's been another legit solution. I too have an LG G Stylo locked with the FRP. I've tried reflashing stock firmware, I've tried the Tungkick software, I've tried 6th_hokage's sofrware too, still no success.

Thanks but no, doesn't work. The overview and allow from unknown sources features have been patched. Can't use either option despite being able to backdoor into the browser, downloading the app, and even selecting it to install.
Interesting. What version numbers do you have?

Im having this problem as well, any help would be greatly appreciated
easy peasy
Look I nuked my phone I'm typing on a tripped out barcode scanner. I used lg backup to get through on my stylo. After the reset try and connect to a generic WiFi and then do a screen shot and share it via email that will get you on the web and then you should be able to search for and open up the settings app by choosing manage accounts while in the browser. Once your in settings clear all data on every app that says Google. But if you clear setup wizard you should be good. Then you should be able to restart as a new device
Try disabling the Set Up Wizard

what's the trick?
No matter what you do if you can use any method to access the settings app/page from there you can go into the apps section and just disable the setup wizard and you'll get into the phone.
Ive been working on this for hours it feels like, last time i bypassed in ten minutes (different phone). Wont allow me to disable setup wizard or google play services, what options are there? Everything i have tried they have blocked ...
