OTA update in stages?

Just wondering if it is rolling out in stages as it does for major updates?
My girlfriend and I both have a Captivate, both bought on release date at same place.
I checked for updates on both phones, and hers found one, mine did not. I'm no to worried about it honestly, just wondering.

Yes, that is correct. About 15k per day for the next few weeks.
Or if you don't want to wait, you could always move the date on your phone ahead and try again. That's how I got mine, had to go two days ahead.
Good luck.

Yes, the update will be done in batches based on your IMEI number's.. It will be a push message to the phone.. so you don't necessarily have to go to the settings->>software update menu - I keep getting the "communication failed" error - regardless how many days I set ahead

Were you rooted when you updated?

Sure was, and was after the update. Sideloading still works as well. Dunno if this will be the case if/when we get a Froyo update.
Reading through all the troubles that people were having I did remove the clockwork update zip before trying. Don't know if that had any bearing, I'm just paranoid. Worked like a charm.

Random OTA update

I'm downloading a new software update . I had already installed the last update.
edit
When I say last update I meant the one with the GPS fix.
What else could this be besides froyo ?
edit
Something funny happen, the update didnt install and now I cant check for another one.
edit
I changed the date on my phone so now I'm trying the update again.
edit
It keeps failing, so I dont know what this is .

wrong.........

i tried 4 times, wasted many of my limited data, never get updated. Att sucks.

AT&T doesn't charge you for anything that comes from the update server. You sir, suck. ;-)

i just got my brand new phone in the mail yesterday, im just gonna wait till it tells me there's an update before I download any updates..

It sure does show up under data used, so I assume that it will be counted against you data plan.

Is your phone rooted? Showing symptoms associated with.

AGAIN
Yeah I have no idea what this update is ? This is like the 5th time it failed on me, so forget it.
I am rooted.

When I got the update, I had just gotten the phone. The update went through just fine, the day after I rooted my phone. So maybe rooting had something to do with it. I don't see how that could effect it but maybe.

I think it's time you detach the umbilical cord to the OTA update Update using Clockwork. (Just a suggestion).

Very important to all captivate owners!!! Read!

EDIT: Yes I know that this has been a long standing issue...but I never heard of it until it happened to me!!! So no need to come in and comment like 4 or 5 others felt the need to do with "lol this is old news u r teh dumbz hurr" I just wanted to bring this up to any new captivate owners like myself :]
If for some reason you have a hankering for some stock 2.1 from your captivate like I did for whatever random reason tonight......if you see an an OTA (Over The Air) Update for your captivate....DO NOT DO IT!!!!!! I say this because I did this tonight thinking that MAYBE this was some form of a 2.2 silent update push..or hell just some bugfixes would have been nice...so i went ahead and downloaded it, it prompted for a restart so it could flash it......and when it attempted to flash...it got about 50% and failed! Well at this point im thinking...awesome...ATT at its finest. So it said it was going to reboot back to android, I waited patiently...waited.....it hot about 3 minutes with phone in hand and screen off when i feel 2 *buzz* buzz* ! I think to myself HOORAY! its okay ....well i was wrong...that was my Captivates last words so to speak. I have tried plain powering on the phone....trying to go into recovery, trying to go into download mode even using a JIG to get back into download mode.....nothing the screen is blank completely, seems as if its not even getting power. :\ I am now the sad owner of a Captivate shaped door stop /facedesk .....Thankfully i yelled at the ATT people on the phone tonight enough to get a replacement phone lol! I am greatfull for this and felt as if i should pass this along to you guys until this gets sorted out. And no im not the only one thats had this problem

I think this is a known issue. Many phones had this happen with the release of JH7. It was provably just the JH7 update that got pushed to your phone. I wouldn't get my hopes up

this wasnt a post about me getting my hopes up for a 2.2 update lol. This was a warning to those who dont about that fail update thats messing up a ton of phones. ;D

blackberry,iphone captivate, whatever. i have learned NEVER EVER do OTA update download it from phone authors site or whatever no matter what phone it is OTA is spelled BRICK....

I didn't received any ota from att but last year I forced update my phone and it works fine with me though without any issue. I think its the same ota update but I manually force to update my phone lol

I'm of the assumption that a OTA bricks less than 0.1% of the devices that attempt an update. Granted that may be a large number if the number of devices are large..but not much of a chance to brick in the big picture

JH7 pushed to mine flawlessly when i got my phone last month, no issues at all.

+100 Mine got the OTA fine and it was even rooted on edge service. Meh, who can tell why some did brick and others didn't. For sure I'll never do another OTA again. I love my 1007 build too much to return it.

Update for HTC Arrive

JUst want to throw out there that I got the update for the HTC Arrive just now. Currently updating as I type this. Hoping my power doesn't go out because I'm in Texas and the weather is insane right now...

I figured that out today, currently at 15% of creating a backup.

That backup just seemed to take too long. Unfortunately, nothing HTC specific. Still have that 160 SMS character mess...ugh.

Ugh, Im hoping this didn't break MMS...there's only one way to fix that -.-

Didn't realize this update was going to take this long, since when I updated my Focus to NoDo it took like 10 minutes.
Oh well, next time I won't start an update right before bed. But even though the update won't actually change anything that I will notice, I still have to do it ASAP, because I just do!

lol, I did the same thing. Ended up having to stay up until 12:30 am so I could have my phone back. I use the alarm on it to wake me up at 6 am

Driver loaded?
So, I got the update a couple of days ago, daughter yesterday, wife this morning. I've got two more Arrives to go.
One thing I noticed was that when the phone was put into update mode, my Win7 gave the "found new hardware" dialog and I have a HTC 9#### (I don't remember the number but it was something like 96300 or so -- and a quick google the other day revealed it to be the right model number) driver show up when I clicked on the details. When I plug it in now, it just goes to Zune software again and I can't see the number.....but a driver got loaded.
Did MS push a driver or did whatever flashing mode cause Win7 to recognize it? This might go along with the tethering work being carried out......
EDIT: 93100. Looked through history.

[Q] Error during boot-up after firmware upgrade: "No certificate to inject".

[Q] Error during boot-up after firmware upgrade: "No certificate to inject".
I updated my firmware to V10.4.2.17 WW manually. My tablet is not rooted or unlocked. The first thing I noticed was that my Transformer 300T now gives some sort of error message in the upper left corner (below the power button) during boot-up, the message is "No certificate to inject". It happens at every boot-up and doesn't seem to give any problems, but I'm curious if other people get it. Also I'm curious what it means exactly.
Any ideas?

Same issue here. I also cannot unlock bootloader or update vía OTA.

Help me too No certificate to inject, a new tablet

Same here, thanks for helping...
Same here:
I waited 2 weeks to see if I was getting it via OTA, ...but nothing, ...not even when manually asking for it via Settings -> Firmware update.
So I decided to go the manual way via the Micro SD card; all went fine BUT, now I have for 5 seconds, every time I boot, the same message:
No certificate to inject
Why ?
Thanks for your help !

Id like to add that I have the same issue with my new tf300t. Only did an update because I wanted to have the latest firmware but I kinda regret it. Has anyone found a solution?

Same problem
I have the US version and mine is brand new. The firmware update which was pushed to my tab VIA OTA has rendered it completely useless. I get the error, " no certificate to inject" and it does nothing but crash. If it goes to sleep or if I hit the power button to turn the screen off it will not wake up and I have to long press the power button to reboot. I can't even use it, it's basically a paper weight now. Does anyone have a clue how I can fix this? Should I try to flash the old firmware? If so can someone point me to a link on how to go about it.
I called Asus and they did not want to walk me through flashing firmware. They want to set up an RMA.
I've tried a cold boot, factory reset and data wipe.

Wow that really sucks. If its a paper weight and they offered to do an RMA why wouldnt you? Im still waiting on ASUS to reply to my email! lol. Look it's brand new and its basically a brick. Unless they can give you a solution thats easy i would just go through the return process.
edit: they emailed back saying that doesnt sound right and to do a factory reset. While i knew that wouldnt fix it i did it anyhow since i didn't have much data to lose. Long story short they want to RMA mine as well. Ugh.

RMA
So yep I sent it in for RMA, Very disappointing that and update did this to my brand new tab.

same here, dont feel so bad. It sucks.

So I got it back today from RMA and guess what? On the very first start up it still says no certificate to inject. Unreal, why didn't they correct this? It seems like the only thing they did was flash the old firmware back. Now my tablet is asking me to update and I don't want to because the last time it turned it into a pile of crap.

They want me to RMA it again. I wish I never bought this thing. It seems to be working fine, but I have a bad feeling about letting it do the firmware update.
Why didn't they fully update it when they had it? Also are they blind? It's completely obvious the error message is still there during boot up and I was very specific about it.

apparently they ARE blind. The message is quite easy to see when you turn it on. To be honest i wish i never did the firmware update when i first got it for Xmas. Thats when this all started for me. I'll let you know what happens with mine so you can either hate me or feel a little better knowing my predicament.

HAHAHA, I hope your doesn't have the error. Now I don't want to do the firmware update, because I know what happened last time. But on the other hand what am I supposed to do, never update my tablet ever again?
Would I even be able to skip the firmware update but still take any OS update they may push in the future?
The RMA is good for 30 days so I think I'm going to see what happens. It seems perfectly fine right now, no issues with it not waking back up.

Ok little update, it still has the error message, but is working very well. It's reading my SD card (which it didn't before) and no issues with it waking back up. I also ran the update and all seems fine. I'm going to mess around with it for the next few days and see if misbehaves. If it works perfectly fine and still has the message then so be it, I'm not going to send it back in.

Well i got it back shockingly no error message anymore but i also notice it wasn't factory restored. No problem i did that myself. Of course it downloaded the firmware update and wants to install which i chose NOT to. Not sure if and when i will decide to do it. lol. How annoying.

Well I ran the update, and it seems perfectly fine. I wish they had cleared up the error message, but I've been going at the thing all day and it seems perfect. They gave me a new RMA, but if it continues to run perfectly I'll just take that as a win.

I unfortunately am having the same problem..
I have gone through 2 tablets now at Best Buy.. The first one went from stock to .20 release and started getting the error.. So I get another one.
I figure that I'll be smart now and I have 2 other TF300's and the one that I had previoiusly all had no issues.. So I figure I will update to the previous release first..
Now I'm getting the message..
It did download the latest release but when it goes to install the OTA it fails.. EXTREMELY frustrating.. A TOTAL waste of my time.. I really want to kill myself right now.
Anyway... I'll manually update to the latest version and maybe pick a different Best buy..
I of course also put my Armor Shild on this one because I figured there was no way that I got two doing this in a row..
Yeah.. 40 bucks down the drain.. .I will call Asus and make some tech supports ears bleed tomorrow.. Yeah I know it's not his fault but.. well it's his fault.

Any new info on this?
Hello everyone, just got back into tech toys and having time to play around etc. Anyway got the same error after OTA update, also Keyboard spacebar does nothing anymore and the mouse pad doesn't work at all either. Looked online everywhere and figured if there was an answer for this it would be in these forums and haven't found one. Had to make a new account on here and haven't had the time to mess with anything in a while so it's all new to me again. Any help would be great, kinda scared to try anything after reading so many different ways to brick this thing- have an email in to asus, 3 acually, and no responses back on any of them and it's been months..thanks for any info - really want to unlock/root/recover and try some of these awesome looking ROMS but am stuck with this error and no response back from asus.
