Hi guys, earlier i tried updating my phone to 2.3 gingerbread. And some reason, when finish downloading and was checking for approval package or something like that told me failed. Now im trying to update it again, and just tells me "Current version is the latest" I was rooted but i unrooted my phone before i did the updated, even did a reset factory on my phone. Any help on this?

Hi,
I've got a magic from TIM but i'm leaving in belgium. I'm running MyHero 2.0.5
By two times, my handset requested me to reboot my phone for a 'system update'. Both attempt failed.
The phone reboots then an icon representing a package update then a a failure sign. The only way to get back the phone was to remove the battery.
My question:
Where can i find the package that android tries to install....is there a log somewhere where the failure is reported ?
Thanks
Ced
If you're running a custom rom and trying to install an OTA it isn't going to work. The OTA is only compatible with the stock OS. If you have root and manage to get an OTA to install then you will lose it. I'd say to just ignore the updates. If your phone is working the way you want it then I would leave it as is. If you want anything different then you'll need to flash something!
I have a rooted and bloatware removed Captivate. I tried the OTA update to JH7 and of course it failed. I've tried un-rooting, and doing it again, and of course it failed, just like everyone else. I've tried multiple times, and it fails each time. But here is the weird part, and I've seen a couple other people say this too. When I look at my phone settings, it says that I have JH7 installed. So here's my question, do I, or don't I, have this damn update? How can I verify it? Also, I tried running Mini-Kies, and updating manually, but I get that silly "Unregistered firmware version error". God damn I can't wait for Froyo! But I really don't want the stupid beta that is causing all kinds of issues.

I had a similar issue. My solution was to unroot, use Odin to back to "stock," and update my PC (.net 4, and x86 drivers) to use Kies mini to get JH7. Unfortunately, that means wiping every app you currently have, but ...
My TF101 shipped wiht 8.2.3.6 (04142011) firmware.
FOTA search says no FOTA.
I tried manual update and it picked up and rebooted but stopped with an exclamation.
Then it rebooted after some time and said update was successful though it was not. In 'About the Device' it says the build is still 8.2.3.6.
How do I make it update properly to 8.2.3.9?
I would just try to run the manual update again. It worked fine for me. Are you sure that you downloaded and installed the launcher update first? I believe it will fail if you don't install the updated launcher first.
I know the newest update isn't a big deal and it only helps Canadians but I still a. want to update and b. Just know for future updates. I have my phone rooted via saferoot and I tried unrooting and updating and it failed. Tried updating while rooted and failed. I'm running android version 4.3 and VRUCML1. Any help would be apprecaited.

I am having the same issue. I don't really care whether the update is applied or not. I just want the annoyingly persistent update message to go away. It is there every time I turn my phone on. Can the update either be applied somehow, or if not, can it be disabled?
Thanks.
I was able to install the first of the two updates earlier for the 5.1.1 update on my Verizon Galaxy Note Pro 12.2. The second downloads, prompts for install, reboots and begins installing but errors out and reboots back into the OS home screen. The Verizon software update manager shows Failed software update error code 402. I have factory reset my tablet a couple of times and still same issue. I do not have my tablet rooted and no apps disabled.
I downloaded the latest available Samsung firmware md5 file, version VZW-P905VVRUANK1-20141205133604 and tried flashing using Odin 3.07 while in download mode. It starts and after a few seconds, Odin fails and on the tablet screen, I get the error, SW REV CHECK FAIL : [aboot]Fused 2 > Binary 1. I have re-downloaded the firmware along with older versions and still same issue.
I was reading somewhere that my tablet could be "soft bricked" and that is why it will not install the second part of the OTA. As for the Odin/download mode error, I had read that the firmware version I am trying to flash in Odin has an older version of bootloader than my current and Samsung does not let you downgrade the bootloader. I may be wrong on both accounts, which is why I am seeing if anyone else has had this same issue or have any advice on what I can try.
Thanks in advance!
Same here. I unforze all the apps unintstalled SU and factory reset still no dice. VZW repair assistant wont work or smart switch. RA says device firmware not supported and smart switch says im up to date. The first part of the update installed no problem.

I had the exact same issues. Here's what I did with my 4.4.2 Rooted NP. I wiped it completely from within the device, then connected it and to the VZW software and let it do a "Repair". After that, my tablet also said that it was up to date, still on 4.4.2. I let it sit overnight and tried downloading the software update the next morning from the tablet, and it took both of them. My NP is rocking 5.1.1. now, much faster. No root but that's alright for now. By running the repair assistant from VZW, it also got rid of the Unlocked Symbol, which may have prevented the upgrade in the first place.

I was able to get mine to update using ODIN and the firmware file from sammoble. Factory reset on the tablet, factory reset in recovery and finally ODIN worked.
I was having the same problems as the OP listed. Once I decided to live without root and I would be okay with wiping the tablet, I performed exactly what dansto82 said he did and I'm now on 5.1.1.
Now hoping someone comes up with a way to root.
Hey, I have the p905v and it is running 4.4.4, I rooted it with towelroot and it was completely fine. I then tried putting twrp recovery on it the wrong way through flashify and now I don't have a recovery mode and can't update it to 5.1.1. Other than that the tablet runs perfectly fine. Is there a way I can fix it?
