After the phone rebooted and failed when i click "Software Update" i get "no firmware" and it won't let me retry. Also should we even be trying to update from what I'm reading this update was not approved or released by Samsung.
. .
Yeah that doesn't work after every reboot i get "The Update was not completed. No update is applied to your phone". You hit "ok" go to Software Update and "no firmware" and i did change the date. So from this stand point i have no way to even check for a update.
I beleive what is happening is that the phone some how tries to "resume" the update when you click the 'software update' button. I get the "failed update no update" message every time i reboot my phone, and i have the 'no firmware' error. I restored a backup from yesterday, the failed update message went away and i could get to the check updates screen but it would fail to connect to the servers (and still threw me in to a 24h wait ((has anyone found the file/setting that has that info in it?))) so i restored the backup i did before i restored, and i got the failed update error once. but not anymore, and i am now able to check for updates and download it.. (still fails on prepairing) ((keep in mind this latest restore was earlier giving me the 'no firmware' error))
sorry for the runon.. im way too tired to care right now... blasted phone is tickin me off LOL its 1/2 updated and im not sure if its working 100% anymore
Same issue
I have the same issue. I updated my phone before going to bed, and I do not remember if it was successful or not. It looks like it was, from my build# and the fact that I have QuickOffice app now. I originally received the text that an update was available.
Since the update, every time I restart my phone (10+ times) it says "Congratulations! New software update for phone now installed. Phone is now ready for use".
However I just get the "No Firmware" when I try to update, where previously it would only allow me to check every 24 hours.
Firmware version. : 2.1update1
Baseband version. : I897UCJH7
Kernel version. : 2.6.29 [email protected] #2
Build number. : ECLAIR.UCJH7
Anyone else have this issue? Anyone know of a fix?

For this particular situation the only thing I've found in my research is to do a factory reset, which "solved" the message reappearing every time the phone boots and allows you to check for new firmware.
I was having the exact same issue and was able to use the Kies Mini to update. Super easy and worked perfectly! There is a sticky about how to do it in the main part of this forum

Did you try this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8394579&postcount=4 ?
It clears the log that doesn't let you try again for 24hrs, so this may also fix your problem. It's worth a try, anyway.

Ok, when I get home from work I'll try Kies. With all the issues reported with it, I was going to wait and see if they released an updated version.

Yeah this is not a problem with the whole "only able to check for updates once a day" thing. This is one of the many problems from the OTA attempt at an update.

I flashed to the leaked Froyo instead of messing with it anymore.
Don't know what went wrong, but every time I try to update to 2.3.6 I get an error image and then it reboots. Done this 5 times and its driving me crazy

Are you rooted? If so what modifications have you done?
Have you uninstalled any of the stock bloatware, even if it was uninstallable without root? The update requires all bloatware to be installed.

Seriously people, search before you post!! We have covered this at least 10 times!Anyways, If you have deleted any of the AT&T bloatware the update will fail. It is STRONGLY recommend that you flash the fkz's to get back to stock before you apply the update, especially if you have rooted and performed any mods. Just be sure to re-root and apply the 4ever root mod to keep root over the OTA.
Or just wait for lfaber to make something awesome with it!
Thanks, I just now stumbled on the other thread's also saying the same thing my bad. And also another question why is the bloatware so important?

It's not that it's important... it's that the update file is filled with a bunch of patches, some of which are for the bloatware, and so if the bloatware isn't there the patches don't install and the update won't begin (it checks everything at first.)
Oh ok thanks
It's not working for me too . I removed alot of the bloatware yes any solution beside restoring fxz ?

Sadly not...
you can just wait for custom ROMs to be based off of 2.3.6 and flash them... this update really isn't very major.
How can I tell if it's even trying to update. I manually started the update about 4 hours ago, but it doesn't look like anything is downloading. When I click on system update again, it says an update is currently being downloaded, but according to 3G watchdog, my wi-fi usage isn't changing. If I turn off wi-fi, it says the download will resume when wi-fi is back on, but the percentage is at 0%, and when I turn wi-fi back on, it stays at 0%.
If it's going to error out, does it not say something? I'm not getting any indication that it failed. Is there not a progress bar in notifications or anything? At first, I figured the server was just busy, but after 4 hours, something should have downloaded by now, right?

A reboot can't hurt.
Ok i had issues upgrading to 2.3.6 tonight.. I realized i had stupidly uninstalled YahooContacts.apk and FMRadioService.apk... As we know Titanium can't restore these. However what I did do was this:
open /cache/recover/last_log in a text viewer
scroll to the bottom, it will tell you what is causing the installer to fail.
Mine i could clearly see it couldn't find FMRadioService.apk I took the .gz file from the titanium backup directory, un-gzipped it, renamed the .apk to FMRadioService.apk and placed it in /system/app I then re-tried the update, it failed again, repeated with YahooContacts.apk
and viola... all was well..
-t
I tried that. The progress bar that was stuck at 0% went away after reboot, but it's still not downloading anything, as far as I can tell. That's why I was wondering if there is any kind of progress bar normally.
I'm thinking that, since I'm at work, our wi-fi is blocking it. I can't get it to download over 3G, so I guess I'll wait until the morning, when I'm home.
BTW, if your phone dies ("Battery Low - Cannot program" message) while trying a rollback to 2.3.5 try the following procedure. It's risky but I was able to bring my Atrix 2 to live:

My phone dosent want to update because at one point I was using TB and removed chrome from my phone and installed the app version from play store. Now when I go to update, it reboots into recovery, begins installing, then fails. When I check to see wy its not updating, it gives me a long string of numbers and letters and says .. chrome.apk .. and then it says update aborted.... so I was wondering if anyone knew a way I can fix this because I have a backup of chrome when it was a system app but when I install it, it still does the same thing.

Try rebooting after you're done and see if it did update. A few people have reported that the update said it failed, but when they rebooted the update actually did work. If that fails, then you can just update through RSD.

Yea, I've tried to update it tons of times and it keeps failing because of chrome not being a system apk. I did try the option on this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=33028928 but, realizing I was on 4.1.2, it failed again and since not using a nexus 7, I'm not sure it will work anyway. I could go with RSD but I was hoping there might be another way to fix it without wiping all the data.
Hello,
So I finally got the notification to download OTA Lollipop today, which I did. Problem is, when I went to install it, the phone restarted, an ERROR screen popped up. I restarted the phone, the update wasn't installed and now when I "Check for Updates" it says I'm up to date.
How can I install the update without side-loading it?

I had the exact same issue but it sounds like a good thing it didn't update from all the issues everyone keeps posting all over the net. Is your device rooted? OTA only works on completely stock devices I read somwhere.
I too ran into this problem. But before i returned my phone to stock i converted it to kali linux. At first i thought it was an encryption issue, so i restored my phone. I still received the error message.
To install kali linux i had to unlock the boot loader, then flash the software. I returned to stock by wiping, flashing stock, then locking the boot loader.
With Xposed not supporting 5.0 I am thinking of stating 4.4.4
I want to stay at 4.4.4. Can't get rid of the Update nag -- and I've tried everything.

I found my problem. My gps.conf file was edited by Faster GPS. I forgot to revert before the OTA and thus my error occurred. I hope this helps.
I'm still getting the same issue after supposed install:
I've had the OTA notification for a while but it won't install. It downloads and then when it does the reboot I see it trying to update then I get the 'Red Triangle'. It reboots again back to 4.4.4
Phone was rooted but still using the stock ROM so I did a factory restore, I'm still getting the same issue.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance

Go HERE download N950USQS5CRK1 and Odin3_v3.13.3b
I'd completely recommend creating a backup and NOT do a dirty flash. Allow the device to do a factory reset.
Don't mess with the Update.zip method, it's not worth the time.
so i downloaded it started odin, put in bl, ap, cp, and CSC_OYN in the fields and put phone into download mode (volume down, bixby, and power) it did its thing was sucessful then phone rebooted saying android update it got to about 32% and said error and brought me to bootloaded screen with some writing at bottom or whatever. i did reboot now after that, and it booted into android and was updated. Only thing is it never formatted my phone and all my stuff is still on there. does it sound right or did i messup somewhere

It sounds about right, I have seen it fail at 32% before. I'd double check in your Settings to make sure you're on CRK1, but if it's working ok, no harm no foul. IF your phone starts doing odd stuff, or apps are FC'ing, I'd hop into Recovery and do a Factory reset

Ya it says baseband crk1. Everything seems about the same on phone though except the about phone settings menu is a little diffrent. Now is this the newest Ota update or did they release pie for it yet?

Sounds like AT&T did send out an OTA to CRL1, but I haven't been able to get the Odin files for it yet. Pie isn't probably going to hit until March-ish, I've only seen the DRL5, 6 and 7 leaks and even those have stopped. We COULD see AT&T do some beta releases, but we just don't know right now.
