Well I almost don't know how but I got it and did it:

Enormous thanks to the crew over at xda.
Im still rooted, even though I unrooted and re rooted. And re-bloated. Time to get rid of that now, again. At the end of the day Im just going to follow the lead over there. I'll get from Froyo from those guys and not VZW [I'll probably get it first too].

They may have not removed all of the pre-installed apps. There is something in this update trying to replace one of those apps that we removed. Just need to figure out which one or restore them all. I'm personally going to wait

Except I didn't actually remove any of the bloatware apps...I hid them via LauncherPro.

But be that as it may, I agree with you...this update isn't worth the trouble. I am concerned about a future, better update though.

What this person said!

I'm thinking...yes.
Click to expand...

I was rooted with lag fix, did the update and now I'm on build SCH-I500.DI01, but I lost root! I'm still benching around 2277, so I assume my lag fix is still working!

I hope to just re-root, so I'm slowly looking through the forums to see what people say first. If anyone has some input about this, let me know!

Thanks!

Yes, after update if you lose root, you can re-root using the same process as before.

IF you are rooted, de-bing, and bloatware removed AND update failed, you need to restore bing and all the bloatware first. Turn off WIFI and update will then be successful.

This process will cause you to lose root as stated earlier. However, after you finish, you can re-root using same step as before. For me, I used the 1-click method.

Hmmm, I thought you had to be rooted to run the lag fix. And yes clearly that Quadrant score shows your lag fix is still applied. You can re-root if need be necessary. What makes you think you lost root?

Hmm... I un-rooted just to test the un-root method linked here, and received the update about an hour after that.

I just ran Caffeine Benchmark:

Overall score: 12768

Sieve: 9581

Loop: 15890

Logic: 169731

String: 5036

Float: 5878

Anyone get this error msg when trying to apply update:

"IP_PREVIOUS_UPDATE_FAILED"

I have an unrooted SF. If I can't get it to update it's fine because it's just not worth the hassle for such a minor update imo.

thanks


*** just saw another post from previous user. Guess there's no quick solution for this at the moment.

I find it exasperating when such an error message appears with seemingly no info other than the "failed."

Have you used the menu > settings > about phone > system updates several times, getting that each time?

I'd just wait. Or not try at all any more; it's not Froyo. ;)

I was rooted and was unable to get the OTA update to complete as well. I kept getting the update failed prompt as well. Then I found the update.zip file on XDA and installed the update through rom manager, and eventhough I don't see any differences on the surface, my firmware version is now showing 2.1-update1, so I'm thinking that it must've been successful.

Oh yeah, and I didn't lose root at any point of this process.

You lose root when you update through the official OTA (or a download they give out). The XDA guys have a signed version that allows you to avoid being unrooted.

What happened here is the lag fix stayed, but the root didn't. It actually happened to a lot of people who didn't restore bing or some bloat...like myself. I had high Quadrant scores, but couldn't use my root apps (Wireless Tether failed, Root Explorer wouldn't load, etc). I rerooted with the one click, took like a total of 2m and my apps work again. :)

Not exactly the phone shipped as 2.1-update1. What you wanna look for is your build number. DI01 is the new one D12 was the old one.

Yeah thats the route I had to take. I was rooted et al, trying to undo everything to get the OTA but in the end I got the zip and applied it thru CWM. Now Im re-rooted [actually I was prior to the update since I needed to re-root to get CWM and Rom Manager to work] havent re-done the lag fix yet

Thought I was OK cause SU was still in my apps, but I noticed that root explorer wasn't working and then I tried setcpu and both apps couldn't obtain super user access... I tried reloading both programs restarting and nothing that needs SU works, even though the SU app is still installed.:(

No biggie, I'll just do the one click root method again. Guess I'm lucky nothing was messed up bad, like some of these other folks. I should've looked for a dev release, like the one floating around now... whoops!
