**Edit** Sorry just started reading the Rogers 2.2 update thread and can see a lot of people are having the same problem...guess I should have read through that first. Sorry. Will try out anything recommended in there first.
I have a Rogers Captivate, and I'm trying to update to the official Froyo that was just released today.
I've installed Kies version 1.5.3.10113_29 and it finds my phone just fine.
So it pops up to say hey there's a firmware update for your phone and I click on it. It tries to back up my contacts and fails "Failed to Load". Then shows the upgrade window. I click on upgrade and it goes to the first stage of the process "Caution". I hit All information has been verified and the Next and it goes to stage 2 'Information'. I hit Allow saving, (or Proceed without saving, it doesn't matter because i get the same result every time) then Next.
Then I'm greeted with a message saying "MSC.Thunder.FirmwareUpdate has encountered a problem and needs to close."
I've tried every solution I can find and nothing works.
I'm running XP SP3. .NET framework is updated. I even went into the registry and created the Software/Samsung/FUS key that was recommended.
I'm ready to set my face on fire here does anyone have any ideas what's going on?
Thanks.
Okay, here's the deal...
I've searched everywhere for every possible way to get around this and it still doesn't work.
I'm on a Mac (OS X 10.6). It says my phone is rooted (used z4root), then I downloaded busybox, and ROM Manager and Astro. i did the flash for clockworkmod through ROM manager, said everything was good. I try to go into recovery mode, reinstall packages, then I get the error "failed to verify whole-file" type thing. my recovery mode is 3e, and it's blue but from what i've been reading, it should be green? I'm trying to make it green!
I just got my captivate i896/i897 a couple days ago, so I wont mind if i need to restore it (i accidentally did that today but it still ended up being rooted when I finished). I'm brand new to all of this, the most experience i've had with this is..jailbreaking an iphone 4 lol. Any help would be much appreciated! All I want to do is make my phone faster (overclock it) and set a nice theme on it. This is so confusing and I'm starting to get so frustrated with it, close to the point where i'd throw it against a wall...legit. Please help!!
How can I bring my Droid X2 from Verizon back to how it was when I got it from the store??
I rooted my phone using MotorolaOneClickRoot.exe "pete's motorolla tools"
I removed bookmarks and I removed two or three verizon stock apk like Blockbuster and Slacker. Also allowed super user permission for apps like barnicle wifi tether and a screenshot program. I have done nothing else.
I recently got the request to upgrade to 1.3.380.MB870.Verizon.en.US but I can not upgrade.
Attempt #1
I factory reset the hard way. Hold power plus volume down... The phone boots back up and I still have Superuser icon showing but everything else is different. I realized at that time I would have to unroot but I could not remember which program I used to root my phone.
Attempt #2
I ended up installing gingerbreak and used the unroot uption on that program to unroot my phone. It said successful. I tried to install the update and it failed. I factory reset the phone and it failed. IDK why but I attempted to root the phone again using gingerbreak after that... but gingerbreak would not root my phone again, it just sat there doing nothing for an hour and 30 minutes.
Attempt #2
I searched more and found the program I originally used. I loaded it up and clicked the unroot option. It unrooted my phone sucessfully. I attempted to upgrade and it failed again!
Attempt #3
I ran the temporary root that came with MotorolaOneClickRoot.exe . Thinking maybe gingerbreak messed up some files and I needed to restore them for the unroot to work properly. The temporary root was not what I had used the first time so I'm thinking maybe I should have done the permanant root... I then unrooted the phone again. After that, I factory reset again and attempted to upgrade the phone. Still fails.
I havn't removed or modified any sytem folders. I simply deleted bookmarks and Blockbuster and other useless stock apps. I've unrooted and factory reset but blockbuster and the stock applications never come back...
I can't upgrade my phone and I need some help. I can't remember what came with the phone by default so IDK how to manually set it back. Please, how can I resolve this? How can I bring my phone back to how it was when I got it from the store??
I want that ugrade.
Notherwise fully aware if we have a forum for your device but if we do....head in over to that place and look fir the "stock ROM" for your device.
First thing is first....you need ti remove root...not familiar with device so don't know is stock Rom will restore root.
Another option is to go to the first thread on this forum and ask Samuel.....he might be able to help.
Cheers and good luck mate
I don't want to restore the root. Honestly I never really used the super user features for anything other than screenshots.
I have no roms or anything. This is just 2.3.3 with the root enabled. I did lurk around and find a link to VRZ_MB870_DTN-14.8.sbf but I'm not sure if that is what I need to do? Will an SBF restore my phone and applications so I can upgrade again?
Update to my previous post. I searched around like I should have in the first place.
I used RSDLite 5.3 to flash my phone to VRZ_MB870_DTN-14.8.sbf. Which was android 2.2.2
I was then able to update the phone to version 2.3.3 and then finally 2.3.4 official OSA over wifi.
So it look like the JB OTA update is here for the USA. Mine is rooted, and has already download the update, but I haven't applied it yet, as I'm rooted and I don't know if I have to do something special first.....
Any one have any info on this?
Same Boat !!
Me too in same boat with P3113.See the post below yours :crying: Hope experts replies soon.
I went ahead and installed it on my daughters tab. CWM protected itself, and root. I'm still poking around, but thus far no issues beyond it says "update failed" but clearly didn't.
I'm wondering if I should remove CWM and unroot it first...
Run a nandroid real quick, back it up to your computer, and let 'er rip. Like I said, it's working perfectly for me. Then again my daughter is 7, so losing all her data isn't really a problem.
Updated with Root ?

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
So if i understand correctly , you allowed the OTA with root and it wiped data ? I am suprised it installed with Custom recovery !!!
I have over 200 user apps. Will i retain those Apps (dont mind data being wiped)
No, it didn't wipe data. I wasn't worried about it "if" it did, because it's my daughters, and I have TIBU for all her games from like last week.
Just to be perfectly clear. NOTHING went wrong. It installed the new O.S., booted fine, said the update failed, but the update didn't fail. Probably because CWM preserved root, and bootloader, so verification failed.
I ran it..... It updated thru CWM... Once done said update failed, but I had a new agreement to agree too. Sys info says its running 4.1.1.
If I have and issue, ill update here.
Failed for P3113
Based on your experience thought I would try too... Unfortunately failed miserably... I have Cwm 6.0.2.3 and attached is the crash log... Maybe some experts can give their views..
I guess I'll post my successful config just for the sake of comparison.
I'm currently running CWM 6.0.1.1. The tab was rooted with a file called gtab2_jellybean_rooter (think I got it from XDA, but i'm not positive) and had no other modifications/roms/etc.
If you're running any sort of ROM you're definitely boned, gotta wait for a ROM update. Beyond that, I'm not really sure what to say
To do the proper update, you should un-root and then re-root once done. That way you get the full support with your update if needed.
I am rooted, running CWM 6.0.2.3. I accepted the update and hit the install thinking that it would fail just as it does on a rooted SIII. The notification said the install had failed, but as others here have indicated, it appears as though the install was successful. I retained root and all seems to be normal; with one exception: It appears that the Tab no longer "sleeps" but shuts down completely. Regardless of whether I turn it off with the power button (short press) or if the screen simply goes to sleep, I have to long press the power button and it goes through a full boot.
Is anyone else experiencing this? Is there a setting I am missing? I am not a noob at rooting, etc. as I have been doing it since my OG Droid on Verizon, but it surprised me when the update seemed to install (even Google Now is working), and I am stumped about this "shut down" that seems to happen.
I experienced the same thing. I was rooted and had installed CM10, went back to original backup, using latest CWM. I hit system update and it downloaded the update, asked me to continue. CWM asked me if I wanted to install unsigned zip, I accepted, and it went through. At first boot it said update failed, but like everyone else, it went through. I have had no issues at all. My tab goes to sleep correctly.
Have peace in mind.
I finished updating (unfortunately, the battery was 9%, so I had to wait for an hour to charge before doing anything) and I got "failed" error like everybody got, but the system shows 4.1.1 and the performance is improved, and I applied root again.
So, I think the only thing I've done to my phone was root it using this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/z3/general/d6603-5-0-2-flashable-stock-23-1-0-690-t3056361
I've been getting the prompt for the Sony upgrade software OTA thing for a while and just ignored it since I didn't want to accidentally break things.
Today, I decided to try to install it (Maybe it was the marshmallow update). My phone rebooted and is now stuck with an error that looks like this:
ERROR - Update Failed
Anyone have any idea how I can fix this?
Also, how would I go about getting updates either to Android or Sony software without breaking anything?
