You might try booting into the download mode again (vol-down/camera/end) and see if you can run the Samsung updater again.

If not, you'll need smarter folks than I.

 

have you pulled the battery and then rebooted? Id just start over. Make sure you actually follow each step in the directions.

 

Keep trying. I had to start the update process over about 50 times before it went all the way through without freezing.

 

yup. Pull the battery with the phone disconnected from the usb and restart normally.

On pc....delete ALL samsung usb components using add remove programs.

Pull battery.
use sprint updater and follow directions...yes you need to pull the battery 2x

good luck

 

Try uninstalling the updater and delete the program folder in c:/program files. Uninstall all samsung drivers. Reinstall the updater. Follow the on screen instruction. If you are still having any issues after try a different USB port. It seems like there is something causing usb to hang.

I had this issue when I had my usb wireless card plugged in and attempting to update.

 

Your phone isn't bricked if you can boot to the update screen. Try a diffrent USB port as well.

 

Glad you were able to get it. Some times it goes first try and others times it doesn't.
