I was using a custom ROM. In order to upgrade the rom, I used one click odin to restore stock. Then I did a master clear and checked the version of the kernel SW:
Firmware 2.1 -update1
Baseband I897UCJF6
Kernel 2.6.29 [email protected] #2
Build ECLAIR
This was all expected. Then I checked software update. To my suprise, it said there is a software update. I decided to get the update. It downloaded it, and in the process of installation, it failed exactly at 50% mark. I tried it several time, all with the same result.
Now, the question is what is this update? and why is it failing?
Can someone check their never altered stock captivate if the SW/firmvare/kernel version I listed above match with your captivate.
Thanks
It's been said that once you flash using Odin, even though its Samsung stock, that it will not, or not likely to, update properly.
Its jh7 update
will fail everytime

Did you try an OTA update or did you try to update with Kies Mini? The update that AT&T is sending you is JH7.
If u want jh7 u can still install via kies or cwm zip

I tried an ATT update. Previous post mentioned that it will always fail. It seems Odin is not returning the phone to full stock state. Not that I plan to go to stock ATT att the moment, but is it even possible now to go to stock ATT, with enabled updates?
Or using custom roms is a one way street, that we will never be able to go to full stock with succesful updates from ATT?
2.2 will be via kies and I suspect any further updatea will be as well

Just use Kies Mini...
Kies-Mini
Download Kies-Mini
Install it on your computer
Start Kies-Mini
Make sure your phone is set for USB-Debugging
Hook USB cable to phone
Hook other end to your computer
Kies should see your phone
If Kies can see your phone, UPDATE it to JH7
After Kies is finished updating your phone will be @ True Stock
If that dosen't work get OTA JH7

It is full stock but those OTA updates only work if its being pushed any new captivates will already have the jh7 so att isn't pushing it anymore. Your phone knows its out of date but it can't get the full package anymore

It's jh7, I don't think 2.2 will be out soon. I was at at&t device support center today. I talked to one of the reps about most problematic phone they have met and we talked about captivate a little bit. He said google released it really early and samsung finished their revise really quick, its just att can't take such a huge amount of data transfer at one time. And att is building up 4g network, less attention will be put on 3g than before.

You should just stick with custom rom's. The updates you are trying to get are already on 90% of the custom roms and the custom roms have alot more advantages with barley any disadvantages.
The only reason I look forward to the 2.2 release is so we have captivate specific source for froyo I will never again have a stock captivate even if they give us gingerbread next week

All three of ours failed the first time they pushed it and my brother just got a captivate from best buy a few weeks ago with jf6 on it so at that time there were still some old builds floating around.

Apparently there is an update AT&T is forcing that is causing massive amounts of phones to crash with a "No Sim Card Found, Restarting..." error message. Then you get "Emergency Calls Only".
I was told this by the in store warranty department at AT&T today when there were several people in front and behind me with the exact same issues. I reflashed, rebooted, got a new SIM card...nothing! Still here now with a phone that wont make or receive calls waiting for a new one.
The only fix AT&T is aware of? Get a replacement!
What update? Post a screen shot of your "About device".
Good luck with the replacement device.

That is for the international S4 9505. iB4 has built a ROM on that update for the i337/m.
Sent from my SGH-I337 using Tapatalk
My S4 automatically updated itself and removed my root access. I'm on NC1 and so far, its not that bad. Battery life did improve, but I don't like how the battery bar is white instead of green. At one time, my phone did the Emergency Call Only. But after I reset the phone, everything went back to normal.
I miss having a rooted phone lol.
My phone does the "no sim card found, restart" a few times a week...but its usually gone after the restart, occasionally ot takes a couple restarts...I am currently on nc1, however I have been experiencing this issue before I was even on kitkat

I've delayed the update. If I am currently rooted, will I be able to re-root after this update?
Currently, I have:

You'd have to downgrade. It's easier to flash the 4.4 keeproot OTAs, the nb1 and then nc1, or even just a 4.4.2 custom ROM.

I could only delay the so many time that it finally upgraded this afternoon. I lost my root.
The only reason that I root is simply to be able to tether. I'm not interested in custom ROMs, etc. So, in my situation, is there a more direct (simpler) method to get me back to tethering on 4.4.2?
Thanks in advance!

You still need to do the downgrade, but you can flash a the stock ROM with root and tether once you do. No way around the downgrade to root yet.

Thanks. Can you point me to where I would find some detailed instructions?
I finally traded in my unlimited data plan for the 10gb family plan because it's cheaper and they allow tethering with it.

Im aware its a hardware issue, I was just stating my experience as the op claimed it was a new update that caused it, although that is perfectly understandable as he states the service rep stated this was the issue...but how often do those service reps reall know what they are talking about lol.
As far as taking it to a store...I have spilled water on the table my phone was on...and now my water indicators are pink, so I havent taken it in cause I figured they would deny me due to water damage even tho the problem existed long before that happened

i had this update 2 days ago for me~ it forced updated/ restarted my phone and TRIED to update but FAILED
i 100% thought my phone was gona brick or boot loop and what not but it restarted fine !
I am getting the update as well now. I have delayed it but I need root and have unlocked the phone. 4.3 mk2. But I use mdl modem to access service mode.
Can I just freeze the files to prevent the update from happening?

Try the verizon PC software. It can update your device.

Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk
If you are rooted, you need to unroot before upgrading. Even if you get it to go further it won't flash probably. Odin a factory oe2 or what ever your base is. After that upgrade.
Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk
A friend of mine, UNROOTED, got the same message, it has nothing to do with being rooted. The update servers were not responding on Verizon end, nothing more. He was able to do it later in the day with no changes.
I feel like it is because I am not using a Verizon sim so it blocks me.

I don't think so, but just waiting a few days and updating on Kies or the new version is just as good as an OTA.

You need a vzw sim card to use the built in software update.
So i had taken the update for my verizon g935v which updated to APH1 which disabled you from going to the 935u... well 935u received a new update. API3 is now installed on my phone. Heres the screenshot. check it out!

No, if you don't want to root, you can have stock u firmware without root, but you're not going to have WiFi calling or volte without root, at least you had to have root before haven't checked on the new firmware.

Here if you want to root here is a new root bat with latest supersu image just extract zip enable adb on phone plug in phone run the root.bat

Hi, when you say unlocked, you mean SIM unlocked?
As far as I know Verzon´s s7 edge comes factory sim unlocked or do I have to flash this firm to hav it sim unlocked?
