Help Froyo 2.2 update fail (yellow exclamation point)

[Billkwando]

Thanks for the detailed reply! I posted a thread on the sdx boards.

Do you think reflashing would help?

I honestly don't know if reflashing can help. I always assume that if it works, it works. I don't know if you can have a "partially bad" flash?

At least you're getting some answers and replies over there. I would've posted it in the actual Slapkernal thread, or at least put slapkernal in the title, but hopefully they'll see it anyway.

I don't know if you saw the last post I wrote, but I reflashed, completely wiping everything afresh and the GPS is now working! Thanks again..

Oh awesome! I guess reflashing can help. Like I said, I really didn't know.

The driver in step 2 does not work with Windows 7 64 bit, however I found that it was not necessary. The last step did not work either, I got an error message stating that file was not found, but I updated to Froyo over air.

This is in reference to your Froyo update for the VM Intercept. Somehow I did not post this in the thread.

This was exactly what I was afraid would happen when I removed all the crapware.

I did not root and removed NO crapware and get the same yellow triangle-fail. Took to the VZW store today and there is no option to "hard transfer" - only OTA. They recommended giving it time and it will work- not a good solution.

I'm no help here. I thought we could go no higher than Froyo unless Sprint/Samsung released new firmware specifically for this model phone (which they would never do, cos frankly, it's a piece of crap).
