2.2 update failing. Anyone else?

[ManBearPig]

My first Fascinate had that problem with the DL09 update.
I called Verizon and they sent me a refurbished one. Were you able to perform OTA updates before?

 

[dsignori]

All prior updates had no issues

I was running superclean 2.9.2 and this morning flashed back to stock using DroidXcon thread through Odin. Went through the whole process and it passed, I have been trying to download and it says that there's no new software available. I'm running now on Hardware I500.04, Firmware 2.1-Update 1, Baseband S:I500.04V.DI01 and Kernel 2.6.29 Can someone help me to see what's wrong?

 

[freeoscar]

can't get past check new screen

When I go to Settings->About->system updates -> check new

all it does it say "please wait" for about 1 second, and then comes back to the System Updates screen.

I have a totally stock phone.

Hardware: i500.04
Firmware: 2.1-update1
Baseband: s:i500.04 V.EA28
Kernel: 2.6.29

Does this just mean there is a problem connecting to the server, or is it something different? I'm located in NYC.

Grrrrr.....just got off the phone with VZW Tech and they have no clue (of course) so I get a wonderful refurbished Pound Puppy, I mean phone, sent to me. I was even told that VZW has no record of certain batches of Fascinates not working, even though we know this to be the case.

As stated before: not rooted, did soft and hard resets; no luck updating.

I'm not calling them for this, I will go to the store and make them give me a new one. I'm not waiting for a refurb phone in the mail. Don't know if they will listen and do that, but can't hurt. We've already waited 8 months for an update, and with all the issues every other iteration has had on other carriers, you'd think the extra time it took them to push it out to us, it would work.

Wasted 45 min today watching as a woman at the Verizon store updated her Fascinate to 2.2 as she had mine going at the same time. Of course mine failed and hers went through. The best they could give me was to either wait a few days or contact Samsung to see if they could push the update to my phone. I already tried the manual update.zip before and after hard resetting my phone only to get the same error. This is very frustrating.

Still can't update to 2.2....Can't figure out Odin

I have a rooted phone. I understand that I need to flash back to stock. Can someone please explain in detail how to do this. I downloaded Odin, downloaded the stock kernal. Now what? Odin has a button that says start. Press it...nothing. The stock kernal I downloaded DI01package3.tar.tar does nothing. In fact, my computer doesn't even recognize that file extension. So what do I do? I enabled usb debugging, downloaded Odin, downloaded usb drivers, of course, and downloaded that stock kernal. Now, how do I make it all work. Would love step by step instructions. Great with computers..great with technology, but don't understand this Odin stuff. I'm running Vista 64 ultimate on an i7 PC that I built myself if that helps. Thanks in advance,

Shane

Issues Getting The 2.2 Update

I have a stock 2.1 Fascinate. I have been trying since early this am to
do the 2.2 update and all I get is a "Server Unavailable" message and try again later. Verizon is no help either since they told me they aren't ready to push out the update yet. Maybe in a few days. Is this one of those be caller #10 issues and because everybody and his brother is trying to do the update, Verizon's servers just can't handle the volume in a timely manner?

Any other ideas?

 

[papa54]

welp from what i've read in this thread i have no intentions to jump ship unless adryn,shark,droidx,superdad--- say go for it, i am rooted and also as i understand it i am able to do what the 2.2 boys.gals are doing with the Updated Official 2.2-----
my best guess for all the problems are to many trying to update at once..

sent from my deep rooted SC292v

Fascinate quit updating OTA

When i first got my Fascinate in Janurary all was fine with updating OTA.
Now every time i try to do a update i get

Source: Verizon Wireless
Status: Server Unavailable
Code: 500

I have wifi off.. i have reset, restarted, pulled battery and everything that i can think of.

Even used odin to go back to DIO1 and still can't get an update to go thru

Any help would be appreciated..
Also are they an odin version of the official froyo that just come out recently? If so i will just go that route.

Thanks

no there is no official ED01 that i know of....usually you just have to wait and eventually the update will roll out in another cycle to you , but you use this method to get it without over the air update,,,,,

i really dont know the answer to that , it could be on verizons end have you ever tried doing *228

but if you use the thread above it is all official even the zip files are official so dont worry about any of it voiding your warranty or anything

 

[sixxcrue]

yeah i have used option 1 and 2 on *228

I will give that thread a try.. i have never used cwr before though

it does not require clockwork
just use odin,
then put the first zip onto you sdcard
then shut down and boot into recovery using Vol up+vol down+power button, press and hold till you see samsung flash twice.
then select the option apply sdcard:update.zip

after that is done. power up, remove and replace the update.zip with the last one and repeat the process, you will then be at ED01 ... clockwork part is optional after the fact

OK....from what I understand from what I have read and heard from VZW Techs (Your Milage May Vary) is that some phones had a previous update that was corrupted, yet still went through and caused no outwardly bad things to happen to the phone, until you tried to upgrade to 2.2

So it seems that you would just need to get DI01 back on the phone and then start the update process all over again.

I have another phone coming tomorrow so I may just wait it out and see if the new(refurb) phone can update, although, I have been told that it still may not be able to update since there are many phones out there that have this corrupt file and the refurbs may be some of those.

I have DI01 package3.tar and Odin3 v1.3.exe hanging out on my laptop just in case.

So the VZW Tech just told me that this is Samsung's fault and that I should do a master reset and then eventually Samsung will push out my update again.

VZW Tech #fail!

New to forums- update to 2.2 failed

Hi new to forums. Vzm reps told me that about 10,000 of Fascinates phones are unable to to update to 2.2. and they have a list of the bad serial numbers (maybe MEID no), which was provided by Samsung. Thier only solution was to provided a refurish phone. I really don't see that as a solution when your issue is on Samsung and Vzw end.
