OTA UK generic ( Rooted ) from 4.0.A.2.368 to 3.0.2.A.0.42

Today i got my OTA notification that the new software was downloaded.

Problem is that when i try to install it, it will install two of the four steps to complete, it lights up the third blue dot/ball and then the phone restarts and tell me that the update can not be installed.

I am looking to OTA because of the information i have on my phone, and not to loose it i have been waiting for the OTA.

Now i am sitting here wondering about what could cause this.. Is it system apps that have been deleted? I found no apps missing from the System Apps 101 topic in here. And there has been very little system digging since the last 368 update.

Anyone have been in my situtation and have any solution? Maybe what to look for in the terms of missing system scatter?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] im_iceman:
Just install it using SEUS or flashtool instead. Then root using the zergrush method.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] firsty:
Yes i know :) But that i could have done weeks ago.. i was looking for the OTA solution, because i dont want to "format" my phone.. and loose root. As my phone is Simlocked, rooting it again is rather tricky.. and i loose all my good****
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] electrash:
SIM lock and root dont have any connection between them.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] firsty:
Sim lock means no Bootloader access as far as i know on the ARC? Then i have to reflash my phone again :( Something that i would rather not.. as the OTA is available for me? Only there is a probo installing it.. Thought maybe someone had a solution to what it could be that is not letting me install it?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] electrash:
SIM lock dont have anything with any other thing on phone..

My phone is from free sell (its lockedbootloader to SONY ERICSSON) not to t-com or what else it is, but SIM is UNLOCK
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] firsty:
:rolleyes:

My bad, service provider locked. Means that the usual SE Unlock Bootloader trick does not work.. and the phone can not enter Bootloader by holding the back key etc etc.. So i can't flash separate files with ADB as i did with my old X10MiniPro when i updated. So now i have to use SEUS or Flashtool.. and both ways i loose my stash. SEUS resets my phone, with no loss.. but i loose my root. Flashtool resets my phone and all my **** on it, and i have to root and OTA again..

And as i CAN recieve the OTA, i just need to know what could cause the OTA to fail on a more than worthy default .368 with root. As i OTA'ed UP to .368 i assumed that OTA to .42 would go just as smooth.. but no :(
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] electrash:
update with SEUS (if you say that you dont loos anything)

than just root it with zergush metod (5min, root any ROM)

and voila :)
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] firsty:
Voila :) It actually worked! Thanks :)
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] electrash:
no problem :)
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vifer06:
I have the same concern. Just wanna ask, did u use SEUS to update it? Did u lose your root? Thanks in advance!
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ratedr75:
Hold on, I had problems with mine the other day and have done the restore via SEUS (holding the back button whilst inserting the USB cable) and my build is coming back as 4.0.1.A.0.266.

Have I got something I shouldn't have? or done something wrong?
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aokde:
i have exactly the same problem i guess, i uploaded it to youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VpzzvbHvMPA&feature=channel_video_title

the thing is i tried to use SEUS and it doesnt give me the option to update, it says i have the latest software.

so if anyone knows which countries got the OTA update please tell me, so i can change the customization number in the build.prop file and hope to get the update :\

Made a horrible mistake and accidentally put an i9100 tar through Odin on this Epic Touch. Now, no connection through USB, home button not working, menu button not working, no cellular, and wifi not working.

Any way to bring this back to life?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daneurysm:
If you can't get into download mode manually a USB jig is probably your last chance....but then you're fine.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kyhassen:
i wonder if that was my issue. When i boot the phone up with the yellow Triangle it says Samsung Galaxy S II GT-i9100

does that mean i used the wrong tar??
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] daneurysm:
No, that happens if you use any kernel that isn't the shipped stock kernel. Clear that with a USB jig.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] connexion2005:
I can fix it.

Shoot me a pm if you have any questions. Long story short is an I9100 sbl disables the SPH-D710 USB controller. I will use JTAG to rewrite the correct sbl to your phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sleshepic:
Do you know it was an i9100 tar? Cus that splash screen is easily cleared, without a USB jig, and only means you've flashed an unofficial kernel. Are you able to go into Odin mode?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] connexion2005:
Not if I9100 bootloaders were flashed.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jonnyisback:
Ive been reading on xda ever since i had a hero and rooted it using some guides on here and decided i would finally post lol. Upgraded my evo to e4gt on 28th of sept and havent looked back.

I rooted it last night using crawrj deodexed with busybox and its been running great so props for that. I have only experienced LOS twice since i have had my phone but those were instances that i was actually out of signal and it came back once i was out of the deadzone. So overall i love the e4gt compared to my evo :).

Anyone else come from the evo to the e4gt? Also after rooting this phone any sweet mods that are must have yet? Thanks
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chunology:
I, too, came from the EVO4G to the E4GT. If you're having LoS issues try the LoST Kernel and if you wanna try a custom ROM try out Calkulin's (new but my favorite), ViperROM or StarBurst.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jermzz:
I came from EVO4G (which I absolutely loved) to EVO3D (HATED except for the 3D) to E4GT and this phone by far is the best one of all three.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jonnyisback:
I loved my evo 4g as well, my fiancee is using it now as i added a second line and moved my number to the new phone (e4gt) and gave her the evo :D. I do have a question, i odined this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1282415

and i am trying to make sure this did not change my kernel. I was completely stock before this so by what i read in his thread i should still have the kernel the phone came with correct?

My next question is can i odin this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1305099

which would be the same kernel i have at the moment but with root and cwm because i am currently rooted now correct?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jermzz:
The first one contains no kernel, so it's definitly stock, just rooted.

second is stock also.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jonnyisback:
Okay so the second one would keep root but add cwm. Thanks :cool:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jonnyisback:
okay so now i am rooted with cwm5 and stock pulled kernel with no yellow triangle on splash screen, thanks for the help guys :)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kyhassen:
I started out with the HTC Hero as well, i upgraded to the HTC Evo and i loved it but i wanted the Evo Shift so not too much of a change there. But i got this phone about october 25 and i never looked back once, what an amazing phone this is, sure it feel like plastic but thats because they wanted a light weight phone.

I just rooted for the first time two nights ago and been having issues with media because of a file ".nomedia" that file tends to stop the SD scan so it skips over pictures, music and other things but since i removed it i can play music and see my pictures again except a few that the file locked them some how. but Since Calkulin came in the picture to E4GT that made the E4GT a much better phone :-D
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jonnyisback:
Lol ya, i was kind of scared to root at first because of all the LOS reports after rooting but once they came out with the stock pulled with cwm its all good now :) really no reason not to root and boy do i love odin, makes life easy compared to when i first rooted the hero and evo by using command prompt and adb lol..... This phone is great, no actual LOS issues for me but i hope samsung/sprint release an update so everyone can enjoy the phone for what a beast it is.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kyhassen:
lol i agree, i was thinking this odin stuff was going to be confusing, since i knew HTC phone used HTC sync for phone drivers. but when i found out needed samsung kies on the PC to get the drivers and started up odin it was a breeze, never thought rooting could be so easy. Since rooting the HTC Evo Shift from 2.3.3 was a PAIN where had to downgrade the Hboot.

I had one incident where i lost signal but that was the kernal i tested for a sec, i ended up going back to LoStKernelExp+ which is the bomb and glad Clakulin decided to use it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] psych2l:
I just came to the E4GT from the OG Evo myself, it's amazing. CM7 was nice but the blazing speed on this thing really is something to behold!

Guys OG Evo owner here myself... I still have both phone as I love them equally now. So I just flashed one of the OG Evos best developers roms... Caulkin is making roms for us guys so check it out here

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kd0axs:
Going to get the E4GT today. Charging circuit went to hell on my EVO and it's way out of warranty. I can pay the $100 insurance deductible and get a refurbed EVO, or upgrade with $90 buyback on the EVO and get the E4GT for $110.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] RichTJ99:
For those of us OG Evo folks who moved to the E4GT, how do you root it without getting LOS?

I have never gotten LOS on my E4GT & that has been what has given me pause in rooting. i really miss TI backup & a few other pieces of software. Teather would be nice too (Granted the web browsing speeds are too damm slow to bother).

Anyone want to point me in an OG Evo friendly direction on what & how to do it all?

I am starting to feel like I might join the Verizon bandwagon with the NP. I am getting sick of the unusable data speeds.

Thanks,

Rich
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] jonnyisback:
check out my original post on this thread, it has both .tars that i used to odin onto my phone to get root+stock pulled kernel + CWM5 and you should be set. LOS is not really caused by root, its an underlying problem in the hardware/software from what ive read on the forum and some kernels can cause it to happen more often and others less often. I am using the stock pulled kernel which is the exact same that is on unrooted phones so if you get LOS with that you would have gotten it with no root as well.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oudbrood:
Hello,

I have a problem with the battery drain on my galaxy s plus.

When the phone is standby its using 40-60mA. When I have lucky at night it is 20-40mA.

I didn't find the problem. 4 weeks ago with my htc desire and same apps and settings the battery used 8-12mA in standby day and night.

3G and Wifi always on.

Standard 2.3.5 rom. Push apps: gmail, gtalk an whatsapp (same as on the desire).

Yesterday rooted and deleted a lot of system apps to clean up the rom. Flash this morning a custom kernel with CWM. Nothing helps

I was happy with the bigger battery but with this battery drain.....

Has someone a idea?

Are there more people with same problem?

[Streak 5 Android Development] G1an:
probably because it is 2.3.3 customly enhanced for use with streak5. thusly it's name is Gingerstreak 2.4.4. due to the many changes DJ-steve and Fards made within the firmware..

Be sure your install.txt actually has the options saved in it. I made an install.txt in Linux and each time I opened the file it was empty. Used Windows and everything worked fine. You used noswype and not no swype, right?

I'm sure it is unrelated, but, I was having random rebooting on stock 2.2.2, and I was about to wipe/install when I uninstalled the firefox app. This was a couple months ago. I'm sure if it was a bug in FF, it would be fixed by now, so at the time, I installed it again and ran it. Sure enough, about 45 minutes later, it just rebooted, sitting there not being used. After uninstalling FF, it hasn't rebooted once. Maybe some app causing the problem also?

My workaround for this is to start some other navigation app first and let it run for a minute or so. That seems to clear up whatever issue copilot is having when trying to access the gps, and it runs fine. YMMV
[Streak 5 Android Development] eiben_robert:
The topic in point 3 is the famous and dreaded "Sleep of Death" (SOD). Probably you found it many times in most of rom threads. When people complain about stability they usually refer to this and/ore random reboots. As for solutions to this... you may try to wipe again cache and dalvik (it will not affect your installed app). If this does not work then try a new factory reset, install minimum apps from market (no restore via titanium backup) and see what happens. If this also does not work you'll have to change rom.

Good luck

[Streak 5 Android Development] Dr Nicky:
In the past I had the same issue with my HD2. Re-flashing back to stock ROM and then Flashing back again cured my problem (I know, different phone, but it’s a possible resolution). So far this has not been an issue with the DS5 but one thing I'm not sure about is, should it become an issue. How can I revert my DS5 back to stock ROM Ver 2.2.2. Basband GAUSB1A135100-EU. Build 15609?
[Streak 5 Android Development] :
Damn, I was kind of hoping that wouldn't be the case, I only have 103 apps installed, but I mostly want my game saves. Does anyone know if there is another backup solution that doesn't break the rom so I can keep my game data?

Re-installing all apps from market takes me back to the days of my HTC Hero, no backup at all then!

Update: just factory reset, wiped cache and dalvick and installed maybe half the apps I had before manually from the market, phone did a soft reboot, and camera & youtube are white screen again. This is now nothing to do with Titanium Backup. Any other apps known to cause this problem?

Update 2: rebooted manually and cleared cache and dalvick again, seems to be working now, hopefully it will stay that way. Time will tell.

Thanks for all the help guys!
[Streak 5 Android Development] puchg350:
It seems some apps affect the rom after being updated. My Streak went crazy after some apps were updated automatically. I cannot pin which app that was affecting. And wiping cache and delvick seems to be a solution of this issue. My Streak is back to stable so far.
