how's it going guys.
My Fascinate sometimes pops up with a blue/red screen saying that an update is available. Every time when I confirm it, it reboots but says it can't be completed because of an error or something. I rooted the phone, installed ClockworkMod and that's it. Erased all the unnecessary stock apps that comes with the phone. What's the problem?
You erased all the stock apps.
You have CWM.

yes I believe if you are running a rooted rom you cannot receive OTA updates.. however you can still do what was mentioned in the last post and use odin to put froyo on yourself, there's even debloated/deodexed packages so you don't have to do much work removing anything, but of course most of them will root your phone so still no OTA updates

Dear xda,
I have recently use the MOBILE-AP update.zip and flashed it to my phone. I am also rooted. I just recieved the software update. Is it safe to do it? If not, how do I restore to normal? Thank you!

Well first do you have clockwork recovery on there? And the update is a hit or miss. Some brick some don't. Its up to you although i recommend just using bionix or eugenes roms. There better than stock

Better yet, use ODIN to update to JI6
Hi I got an update to j16. I was waiting for the update before i root my phone.
I got done updating it yesterday. It is stock j16. so im hoping if it is possible to root it? I have rooted the older version on my brother's some apps i really wanna have.
So please let me know if its possible to root the stock j16? thanks in advance
Yep its possible mine is!

Yes its rootable just like the original firmware. I used the update.zip method to root it, never tried the one click version
Yup its possible. I rooted mine using the one click root.

JI6 is rootable. What's J16?
Sent from my Team Whiskey Powered Vibrant
J16 is the OTA update that was sent out over the last couple of weeks to fix a number of problems with the Galaxy S phones...in particular, the problem with the GPS not being able to lock onto satellites or function reliably in general. I have read some threads where a few folks who were rooted and then did the update messed up their phones.

Once you do you'll be happy you did and wonder why it took so long to get to that happy place =)
Easiest way is to download the TGA's One click root/unroot, then install ROM Manager, run Clockwork Recovery in ROM manager to download/install it for the 1st time, download a ROM from the Dev section (I like Bionix Fusion & Eugene's Vibrant Hybrid), and follow the instructions in the ROM's OP (select reboot into recovery yadda yadda yadda)....

Stock 2.2 Long story short, I rooted my Vibrant. Says it rooted, everything's fine. BUT
Busybox says it's not rooted, superuser is there.
Everything acts like it's rooted otherwise except ROM Manger doesn't ask for permission but won't boot into recovery.
Tried custom 3e recovery installer. When I try to reinstall packages it never goes into CWM recovery.
WTF?!?!
I don't think you can root 2.2. I have always found the best way is to Odin back to 2.1 and then use super one click root. Then install your customs roms or whatever from there.

Somebody better tell my phone that lol. I had 2.2 rooted previously

You can root 2.2 I did it but did you power down your phone after root... it needs to reboot as far as cwm you cant use it on 2.2... 3e is cool but alot of people have problems with it... Odin to stock 2.1 its easier...

How did you get it to work? I am having the same problems as you described.
run superoneclick and reboot phone afterwards. You must reboot for it to work.
Hi guys,
Got an update that I had an OTA update waiting. This is strange as I'm on I9300XXLH1 which I think is the latest right? Also my phone is rooted so I thought I wouldn't get OTA updates? Was originally a Vodafone branded phone, i applied ROM through Odin.
So i hit update and it downloads (17.61MB), screen comes up with the usual update message and says:
Update details (17.61MB)
Improved stability
and gives me Later and Install options..
Hit install and phone reboots and then seems to go to CWM screen:
"CMM-based recovery v5.5......"
With some options like reboot system now, install Zip, wipe etc...
Down the bottom it has some text about finding and opening package then says it "failed to verify whole-file signature
installation aborted.
I choose reboot and phone boots fine but then I get a blank update box. I hit close and it goes away.
next time i check for updates there it is again.
Any ideas on this?
I believe it is a modem update.

You can't apply it because your rooted. Either update through Kies or download the firmware from sammobile and flash through Odin.
You can also flash the stock recovery back. That'll let the ota go through.

As mentioned if your device is rooted the update will fail. If you are keen to uply that tiny update flash stock rom n check through kies if that update is available. I changed the csc on my device a from AFR to BTU. It wiped everything as I knew that and my device back to stock as well as got the new lh1 modem update. Currently on stock rom will wait until the official release.

I had the same problem, just update it via Kies
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Root is not the cause for the failure, not having a stock recovery is.
Also if you use KIES beware that there is a good chance it will wipe your internal SD
Thats not true, neither of the statements you made were true... CWM supports OTA now. And Kies doesn't format your internal card...

Kies has formatted my internel sd every time I have ever used it on the s1, 2 and 3.... so..... what am I doing wrong?
and also it depends what CWM he has installed, if he has Chainfires (from cf-root) then OTA's will fail maybe if he is on Koushes latest build (which he clearly isn't) then it would have worked.
Edit: Chainfire has just informed me that the reason most OTA's fail in CWM is that it has signature verification set to ON (like stock recovery) and as the recovery image signature will not match if you are on a custom recovery the flash then fails.

I'm rooted and unlocked with FreeG app . I downloaded it, but it stop with an error. It rebooted on its own. My phone is running fine with no issues. I went back to my settings and its like I never attempted an update.

You have to restore to stock to apply an FOTA. If you unlocked with the app, just restore with the app, and put back any apks you deleted.
Has anyone been able to install this? I just get an error code when it trys to install it and reboots me back to my home screen and says install interupted. I'm stock btw.
