So my Titan finally told me an update is available, I hook it up to Zune and it lets me start the update - hurrah! It reboots my phone after about 40 seconds after starting, then reboots not much longer after that and it tells me it's failed.
I ran the update again, this time watching it; it spends all of 20-30 seconds "downloading" the update, which seemed awfully quick for my connection. It fails again.
I've cleaned out C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution uninstalled, rebooted and reinstalled Zune and rebooted again. SoftwareDistribution starts with about 12MB in (windows regenerates some). Start the update again, a few new folders are created with some new files. Eventually it fails again. The 5 new files are all 17KB!
Does anyone know why it might be failing to download the update properly?
Cheers.
Resolved
It turns out the issue was related to a previous update that wasn't complete, if anyone else has the same problem the solution is here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1740848

Proud owner of my first tablet as of about noon today (got hooked up through my guy at CDW-G just before their inventory blew up). Since then I've been trying to get the system update to complete with no luck.
I've had it unpack to what appears to be about 90% (or less several other times). But each time it hangs and says "Unable to Connect. Try Again Later."
My internet is solid with no connectivity issues at all from that end. I've tried rebooting multiple times as well. No luck. Haven't found anything useful searching the web either.
I was really hoping to find an actual copy of the update that I could load manually (though USB maybe). But no luck at all.
I've also had it tell me that my device is up to date, but the version listed in system information says 3.0.0..... And then if I go back into System update it says 3.0.2 68 is available again.
Any ideas?
I was unable to perform the update as well. One website attributed it to server overload. I'm just going to wait a while.
I had the same problem. I left my touchpad on over night and it prompted me to reboot when I woke up, then took about 10 minutes with a circular progress...bar...wheel?
That was my assumption as well... I was hoping others has the same experience so I know it wasn't just me.
I had the same problem and did this:
Go to the Hp WebOS Account page on your pc and login with your info.
Go to Device Options
Download WebOS Doctor
Install
Put your Touchpad in Developer Mode: enter "webos20090606" in the Just Type box
Just skip the password option.
Run WebOs Doctor and plug in your Touchpad when prompted.
You'll have the update in about 20 minutes total time.
awesome man. I'll have to dig into that after I tuck the kids in for the night. Thanks for the help!
Be advised, updating via WebOS Doctor will reset your device and you will have to enter all of your accounts again. It does however automatically reinstall all of the apps you downloaded from the market.
Here's a link for downloading WebOS Doctor:

I take no credit I just followed tomv9302's instructions.
i had that crap too. It was the slowest 38mb update EVER.
it kept crashing and going to that page. I put this broken LED light to track progress and sure enough it would disconnect but then start back up from where it left off if you reinitiate.
Took like a dozen times (at least) but it finally did it successfully.
I'm sure there's quite a bit of people trying the same thing.
updater working now, it was indeed the slow server, managed to update to 3.02 just now
Did the updater affect any of your existing accounts or make you have to go through the initial setup?
no initial set-up again, just updating
Can't Download Anything :-(
Web works fine but I can't Download any apps or upgrade. I guess its because of the high demand and the amount of people who have this now.
Anybody having problems with the market?
What did u do to fix it?
I had problems with the catalog too. I checked my wife's TouchPad and her's worked fine. I did install a bunch of patches and the OC'd kernal.
I went into Settings/Device Info/Reset Options/Full Erase and that fixed my catalog. After the reset I slowly started adding patches and the sort while checking the catalog functionality after every few installs.

I'll give that a go...everytime I tried to download it just failed
Still nothing keeps saying try again later
what does "unpacking" mean? Sometimes it gets that far, then says that it's updated, but in system info it still says 3.0.0
Maybe an obvious one but have you tried switching it off and on again. worked for me
I had the same issue for a while - here's how I solved it
Be warned this will wipe your accounts and reset your touchpad - your apps will remain but only because webos is awesome and just goes and redownloads them once you sign back in
Go to the hp touchpad site and sign in - click device options and select download webos doctor. Run that. Meanwhile turn your touchpad off and put it into usb mode (hole the power button and volume button whilst a usb cable is plugged ONLY into your touchpad)
webOS doctor should be asking you to plug your device in now - plug it in (with the USB symbol on the screen) This will then flash your device and but the latest firmware on it.
Then turn it back on sign back in...etc and you should be sorted! I know it is a bit annoying, but it was the only way I could get my market working - the OTA worked, but seemed to not fix the underlying problem - also allowed me to install preware, which has made the device a contender to keep webos on it!
Hi guys,
I was trying to upgrade to Android 2.3 on my Sharp Softbank 005SH but the phone got stuck in the Major Update screen and I don't know what to do now. Anyone with experience please help!
The phone is updated to the latest firmware that is required for this major update, Build No. S0900.
So, I decided to go for the PC upgrade option, Downloaded the driver and the Update tool, waited for many hours for the download to complete, then started the procedure.
I then switched the phone to Fast File Transfer USB mode, checked for update, it discovered that an update was available and asked me to restart the phone.
After restarting, I ran the Update tool but it gets stuck at the screen where it checks if the phone is connected in the above USB mode.
Meanwhile, the phone won't reboot in normal mode. If I pull the USB cable out, it says "Update failed. After a reboot the phone will work again." Well, it doesn't because I can't reboot. Even tried removing the battery for a couple of minutes...
same to you

I've sent my phone back to Japan. Hopefully, they'll fix it there soon.
Obviously, the problem occurs because the phone and/or the OS are not in Japanese.
Hello,
My device is an HTC Inspire 4G running android 2.3.5 with cwm v5.8.1.5.
I just got my phone activate on straight talk wireless and within an hour of doing so, my phone alerted me there was an update to install, and needed to reboot.
The phone shuts off and then CWM pops up and tries to install the update, only to fail and give me a signature verification error, and an aborted install.
I figured no big deal, I'll just reboot and forget about it. Only now every time my phone boots up, it runs normally for a minute and then pops up the installation dialog and automatically shuts down, only to reboot into CWM for the install to abort again. Every time, without fail.
I am at a complete loss as to what to do about this. I can't find any information even remotely related to my problem. Maybe I just don't know the right string of keywords for the search. Anyway, any help will be immensely appreciated.
Update: I was able to recover an old image and at least make the phone useable again, but it's once again notified me that At&t has an update for me. I chose to postpone it this time, but I'm still at a loss as to how to handle this. I don't want to just keep clicking to postpone the update, but I can't allow it until I figure out why CWM is aborting the install.
Hi guys
My N9 just arrived by courier, Plugged it in, cranked it on.
Tells me straight away there is an OTA update, 297.9MB ok cool, go.
Download doesn't seem to be running (have an LTE pocket wifi which pulls in 30+MB/s)...... keep waiting, no progress. Have restarted tablet a couple of times, same effect.
Have also tried to tether directly from phone...same....
is the server pooped?
Has your N9 downloaded the update now? I have the same problem with my wlan N9.
Fixed with factory reset
I had this problem today. I was able to boot into recovery by holding down on bootup. Then I chose to do a factory reset, and the next time I set up the device the download worked.
Yes I tried that 3 times or so but didn't work. Then, today in the morning it was finished so I guess there had been a server proplem.
Last week on Thursday, I allowed Verizon to install their Software Update 21 (April 2020.) It made it as far as the going through the optimizing apps and then was stuck in a boot loop. The phone would be usable for about a minute, then would freeze, and then reboot. If I clicked on the System Update option in settings, it would say that a system update was in progress. I chatted with Verizon, and they ended up telling me that the only way to stop the update was to do a factory reset, which I am doing everything I can not to do that as I don't want to lose my data.
I changed it into maximum power mode and it did stop the update for that time being and I was able to use the phone, texting, etc. This allowed me to at least connect the phone to my computer to backup all of the directories. After many reboots, on Friday it finally stopped doing the update and gave me an error which I think was 410. It thought it was updated, though did show as failed. When checking for updates, it said it was the current version. Twice I was able to get the phone to stop by freezing when going to the app and stopping some programs (sadly, I was not able to remember the exact combination that worked) which allowed me to use the phone like normal. All this while, I was uninstalling a large amount of the apps that I had installed hoping that would minimize whatever may have been causing the problem.
Went to each of the google and samsung apps, stopped, disable, and reverted them all back to factory defaults. Guess that was a bad idea, from then on I received an error as soon as the phone started which caused it to go directly into recovery mode. I chatted with samsung and they thought it might be a hardware issue. I still think it is related to their software update, so not a hardware issue.
By using Odin, I loaded the firmware from March 2020, and when it rebooted, it did go as far as optimizing the apps, though anytime it booted up, it would never get past the white verizon loading screen. It took me hours before I discovered that Odin was failing to load the firmware on the phone as the Windows 10 laptop only had USB 3.0 ports which don't always work with Odin, and ended up being successful using my old Windows XP laptop as the USB 2.0 ports worked fine. After a bit hanging on the verizon loading screen, it would reboot and never went past. I have been able to load the March and April 2020, though none of them will ever get past that white verizon loading screen. I did see something say that in loading TWRP, I could possibly do a full backup of the phone which is what I would like to do.
One time I only loaded the AB file for a different version than I had loaded, and it was the first time it went beyond the white screen, only to tell me that the verification failed and it would need for me to do a factory reset. I was able to reboot the phone without actually doing the reset.
I have read many posts here and the forums on androidcentral, and with so many things, I really needed to post to get guidance from people here that can point me in the right direction for any other things that I can try. As you have read, doing everything that I can to get the phone working by keeping my data. Any help would really be appreciated.
