OTA 45.3.6 Is live!

[Crimson Knight]

Just wanted to chime in and state that my MoPho is, too, getting the "Update Failed" message. Not rooted. Launcher Pro was installed first few attempts, then I removed it. Still no joy. Also tried pulling battery and downloaded over 3G only and WiFi only. probably tried 7 times so far. Still no update.

Same "update failed" notice here except I am rooted (used AIO One Click method). Thought it might have been a bad update download but I did it twice via WiFi and even pulled the battery before trying the second time.

Ideas?

I was rooted using AIO too. Once I began the download nothing happened so i rebooted and it began to work. Also I re-rooted after the update finished and now my battery life is screwed up pretty bad. Phone is constantly warm to the touch and a full charge is depleted in about 3 hours of very light use.

So far my proximity issue after using my car bluetooth seems to be fixed. I only had a problem with the proximity sensor not shutting off after using my car bluetooth. Get out of the car, get on a phone call and the screen would stay on. If I did a simple reboot it would fix the problem until I used my car bluetooth. So far the update seems to have fixed that. Will find out more in the next few days.

This is great news. This is my only remaining complaint about the phone. I am downloading the update now. I can't wait to try bluetooth on my way home tonight to see if the issue is resolved.

For you guys who can't update, here's a sure-fire way. It takes time, but if you install this sbf:

xda-developers - View Single Post - 2.3.4-4.5.1A-1_SUN-198_6-CM 10/2/11 latest SBF build working gtalk video w/voice

using RSDlite per the instructions in the first post of that same thread, your phone should accept the OTA no problem. You may have to reset, but that's a small price to pay.

@TBHausen - Thank you for sharing this. I'm going to hold off for now. I'm downloading the file in the event I can't get it resolved any other way.

Honestly, there's no reason to wait. As long as you get RSDlite and the drivers installed properly (64-bit drivers are a separate download) and follow the instructions precisely (keep you hands OFF the phone until it reboots AND activates itself) you won't have any problems. I've downloaded, installed, and used every SBF released at XDA and it's really a risk-free proposition. I can also verifiy the legitimacy of the sbf's Yay 4 Juggs is posting over there because my MoPho OTA updated from the sbf at the link above to the "in-between" version we had until this update dropped today. It's the exact same software. The updates just have to be installed somewhat "in order" for OTA to work. I even had to revert back to the previous version to get the OTA a couple days ago and everything has gone perfectly. Just do it--you'll be glad you did.

Well, I've initiated the download from the About Phone menu and when I go back to check it's been saying that it's "downloading" the update - for like an hour now. I get 3G service and I'm on a fast WiFi network. Not sure what's going on. Not rooted.

 

[cybersar]

I had the same issue. Turned off wi-fi and it downloaded and installed. Last two updates wouldn't download over wi-fi but worked over 3G. Not sure why.

I'll give that a shot...

I tried DL'ing when I was at work today (no wifi) but I got the error message. Just now tried to do it agan and get the message "download will start in wi-fi/off peak hour", ugh.

*eye roll*

HEY I installed the update that went fine. it rebooted automatically and the update was on. of coarse i lost root so i one click rooted again and all is good.. battery seems normal its been a few hours and no problems.

I had trouble with the download when either 4g or wifi were enabled. I'm pretty sure it was the time that the antenna was switching from 1 to the other.

 

[floorguy]

My guess it needs to do it over 3g....just like your prl it wants that network link.....


just a guess though

 

[djmiked]

My update was downloaded via wifi FWIW

As I noted in the battery life thread, I had this problem too but traced it to WidgetLocker. Once I disabled it the battery returned to normal. I've heard reports of other apps, like GetJar, doing the same thing. Try disabling/uninstalling apps one at a time and see what happens. You might want to reboot after each one (or do them in small groups to save some time).

Lol wish you would've mentioned this earlier. Anyway I did the hard reset and all seems to be back to normal. So I guess there was a software conflict and maybe it could've been widget locker who knows but as long as things are normal again I'm happy...

 

[BanterandRant]

Mine failed too. And now I can't make calls! Crap!

 

[jimbeav]

It took a long time to download, 3G, but I am in a bad reception zone (big building), and it did a number on the battery and got hot. About 90 minutes later, installed. Knock on wood, working fine!

 

[mastacow53]

Mine has been stuck in "An Update is currently being downloaded" for the last 3 hours. Not sure what to do next.

Reboot, it will correct.

 

[tbhausen]

NO... don't reboot. It's about 55MB and can take a LONG time at Sprint 3G speeds. Just wait it out...

 

[zombdroid]

Strange happenings, while I was sitting down to lunch today, a noticed popped up on my MoPho letting me know an update was available. It was the same update.

 

[as4k]

Still no dice on getting mine to update successfully

 

[mastacow53]

Well, after 6 hours of being stuck in "An update is currently being downloaded", I removed/replaced the battery.

Update immediately began downloading......updated successfully!

 

[spaulding]

Mine updated fine. Eventhough it's an OTA, should almost require a wifi connection given the size of the update. Almost like trying to download several meg over a 14.4kps modem
