Problem Updating to Froyo - Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have this problem that has occured aobut 4 times while updating to froyo. It gets into installing the file then the progress bar stops. After about 20 minutes of nothing it restarts and tells me I have IP_PREVIOUS_UPDATE_FAILED and a CODE: 410. I researched it and found alot of people who had this problems rooted their phone. Unfortunately, I didn't root my phone in fears of breraking it -oh the irony- . Does anyone know any fixes to my dilemma?

are you trying OTA or manual update.zip install from samsung recovery?
perhaps one way would work better than the other.. not certain, just a thought

***attention*** downgrading to root

I had android version 2.3.4 (.238) and tried to downgrade to 2.3.2 so that I can root my phone and this caused the 0% battery problem( Neo shuts down automatically,it can't charge.)
I tried digging into the problem and it looks like now it is a hardware problem.
Other users have reported that the only solution they found was to change the mobo to a new one.
SO, WATCH OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ps: tried to flash to a bunch of other fw, nothing worked.tried recovery,nothing.
I tried almost every possible way I could find out there(web), and NOTHING, I repeat NOTHING worked. So be very careful if you want your Neo safe.
I'm lucky that don't have this problem, it can fix by unplug/replug the battery in my case, after OTA update.
But if the problem make it unable to boot up, I think can take the reference of the DEFY no battery issue.

NOT tested (it's only tested on the DEFY of course), but I think it can let you "continue the testing".

[Q] vibrant not loading

hi. i was using my phone a while ago. but i got a framework error in my phone. i opened facebook and it force closes everytime. ive been getting a framework error for the past 2 days already. i decided to restart my phone in NORMAL. after that, i got stock on the MIUI loading page. i really dont know what to do. enlighten me please.
Its possible you could have flashed the ROM from a faulty link (have downloaded ROMS from other sites links and nearly ruined my phone cause it was missing something.) OR if your phone has been working in the past, then have you tried to repair permissions?
Was it something you may have triggered to cause it to say that? played with any settings? installed some root-only apps that didnt correspond well to your system?
Binary up to date?
Upon flashing a ROM again, have you allowed it that 10-15 min range to fully set up and boot up for your phone?
I would say just flash again. If you can, also wipe the data, cache, the whole 9.

'applypatch' process taking up 50%+ cpu after ota gps patch

So, I recently installed an ota patch from AT&T (apparently it was supposed to make the gps more accurate or something?). Since then I noticed that my battery started draining very quickly, so I entered 'top' in a terminal and found out there was a process called 'applypatch' taking up 50% of the cpu.I can't use 'killall applypatch' because it's a root process, and apparently the update also got rid of my root.
I've already tried a factory reset, but that didn't seem to help. Also, I doubt it's still installing the patch, because I left it on all of last night and it's still going at it. The bootloader is still locked, so If possible I'd like to avoid messing with that. This is my only GSM compatible phone, and I paid a lot for it.
Should I just try rooting it again and try killing the process, or do you guys have any other ideas?
Thanks!

You are not the only one with that problem. I have the exact same issue. Process chewing up the CPU and if you kill it the process comes right back. Hopefully someone has a good answer as to how to fix it. I actually have 2 of the phones and one is rooted, second one is not. The unrooted phone does not have the same issue as the rooted phone.
I'm having the same problem with my Atrix. Phone is stock and unrooted. Never had an issue until I installed the latest update.
Well I got a response back from Motorola about the issue. These were their recommendations.
1. Reboot phone. Duh....
2. Uninstall any apps that you installed when the problem started. Uh, it was the OTA update... Cannot be uninstalled I do not think.
3. Clear Cache partition from Fastboot menu. That did not do anything.
4. Factory reset the phone. I hate doing that. Doubt it fixes anything but I will do it anyway.
I asked them about option 5 if 1-4 did nothing and he said call and talk to support.
Just an update...
Maybe someone knows how to just kill the process. It is obviously doing nothing as the phone is already updated to 4.5.145 according to the phone info.
I've just had a quick look around about the 'apply patch' process. Not that it helps you but this problem has been ongoing since at least android 1.6!!! Unfortunately solutions to the problem were few and far between - the main one would be to roll back the update you received (if you can).
Rooting and then trying to find the process and freezing the 'apply patch' process is another (again, I didn't find much about how to do that) as is unlocking the bootloader and putting installing a custom rom is another option for you. I know you don't feel comfy unlocking your bootloader but it isn't as bad as it sounds.
If you do decide to go the unlocking way then there are guides on here which will help you.
Edit: just seen this over in the 'general' section http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2145316 ... the very same problem you are having.
Ok, just to hopefully keep this going I have tried these additional steps.
Root phone.
Unroot phone
Re-root phone
Try multiple startup program apps to kill it, none show anything besides installed apps.
None work. applypatch still taking 49% cpu
Maybe there is a way to edit androids startup config file to make it stop? Not a Linux/android guy so hopefully someone smarter than me has the answer to that.
If you've rooted the phone, you might as well have deleted or renamed that program... That's what I would do.
Same problem with my Atrix........I've been following this thread and have found a temp fix that works for me. I say temp as the applypatch process will show up again on reboot
1.) Gain Root Access
2.) Download OS Monitor from PlayStore (this will show you all processes running on Android OS)
3.) Run OS Monitor ...."applypatch" should be at the top of the list with a high Load % (Note: Under Settings enable ROOT mode)
4.) Long press on applypatch process and select kill process and allow superuser/root access...should terminate
This has been working for me so far so I signed up to share with you all.....hope it helps.
And heres to hoping for a more permanent:good: solution to this issue

Note 4 problems with freezing/crashing

I have a sprint note 4. I don't have it activated currently and use it as a tablet of sorts. Recently it's been giving me problems and I've wanted to break it. I got it about 2 years ago, and since then I rooted it, then installed twrp recovery, then flashed custom software. The software I used was called Dr.Ketans I believe, it combined the note 5 and s6 edge plus softwares. It started to crash occasionally so I installed cyanogenmod onto it. It worked for a bit, but now when Turing the device on, it takes like 10-15 minutes to boot up. And it only stays on for 5 minutes before it crashes and freezes. When it does that, the only way I can boot it up again is take the batter out and put it back in a few times because sometimes I get an error message. The error message barely happens but it says something along the line of "cant boot up". If I use twrp, my phone doesn't freeze. I've tried reinstalling the software, I've tried formatting the entire phone and refreshing. Nothing seems to work. I've even tried changing my kernel but I'm not entirely sure what it is, and how it affects the phone. I'm not the smartest with phones, but I'm good with following directions and googling. If anybody can help me I'd greatly appreciate it cause I've been dealing with this issue for 3 months.
Reinstall the original firmware and make sure it doesn't freeze / crash with it and then you can reinstall the custom software. Make sure that you have the required recovery, bootloader, and baseband version to run the newer custom roms. The requirements should be located in the OP.
I appreciate the response. I will try this as soon as possible. Should i use odin to flash or would it be possible to use twrp recovery? Also, what do you mean when you say the requirements are in the OP?
You should use Odin to recover to make sure you have a fresh start.
The requirements of the rom you pick afterwards should be in the OP.

A10s system updates installation failure

Hi,
I tried to install the latest software update which was available in Software Updates on my SM-A107F phone.
It downloaded with no issues first time and I was prompted to restart and install the update, which I did.
The update process starts and appears to run to completion (gets to 99% of "Installing System Updates...") and then the screen goes blank / phone turns off.
I've restarted the phone multiple times with consistent outcomes. I have not rooted this phone, installed TRWP or anything similar. I think I may have enable developer mode options but nothing else.
Is anyone else experiencing this issue? And have you been able to get around it?
Regards
K
