Hello there,
first of all I tried searching for the topic I want but can't find anything similar to it. Anyhow, I am a new user and I bought the HTC Desire V just yesterday. It came with Android 4.0.3 but apparently there is an update which is 8 MB big. It's stock firmware, nothing rooted or anything. I try to update my system, it downloads, everything goes fine, it reaches the installing part. It goes till 1/2 of installation then gives me some weird red triangle icon with an exclamation mark on it (!) and then restarts, doesn't update. May I know the cause & solution to this? I am not ready to do any risky stuff with it since I have this phone temporarily only.
Thanks
P.S I am not sure whether it's a firmware update or just a security update because its size (8 mb) doesn't seem to be a firmware update... Anyway, please help me
The same happen to me also.Its a kernal. Is your phone rooted?

Hello, and Happy New Year!
I recently bought an HTC Hero (the T-Mobile version, G2 Touch) off ebay UK and it has Android 1.5 on it.
I got a prompt to upgrade to 2.1, and i pressed ok for the first pack and it downloaded fine. When it reboots to install the update, half way through as it installs, i get an icon of a triangle with an exclamation mark in the middle; the only way to make it go away is to take out the battery and reboot it. I tried this another two times and the same thing happens.
can someone please help?
p.s.: does it make a difference if am currenly in Cyprus and it is a T-Mobile phone (only unlocked, not wiped), and if the build number is 2.73.110.26 ?
edit: problem solved
My friend had same problem with Era G2 (same phone in Poland) and you can't update your Hero without root.

Root recover flash, search on google htc hero full update guide
To Everyone who is currently having this problem:
1. Please check if your phone is rooted.
If not, then root it, and try to flash the update.zip again.
2. If an Exclamation dot appears inside a triangle, well, then obviously something went wrong.
In my case, the recovery menu was broken so i had to replace it with AmonRA or clockworkmod.
3. If you can't flash AmonRa nor clockworkmod, try to install one of them manually from ADB on your pc.
(ADB comes with the SDK tools)

ok, so a month or two ago I rooted my Motorola Atrix so I could install Gingerblur which went well at first. It was working great for me and then I noticed that once and a while i would look at my hone and see an exclamation point and an android icon..I would have to pop the batter out and put it back in to restart...what I think happened is that my phone tried installing an automatic update which failed maybe due to my hacked phone not being compatible...bc after awhile I would notice my phone installing an update and then automatically rebooting to the error screen.
I tried installing GreyBlur the other day..and it didn't work well..so I flashed back to 1.5.6..but now I don't know how to upgrade to 1.8.3..when I scan for a system update it says that my phone is up to date..how can I update to the latest firmware and how come my phone isn't automatically installing it? Have I lost my opportunity to do this since to all the hacking I've done to my phone? or am I missing something? please help =(
Have you tried downloading it from the Motorola website? You should be able to just follow the directions on there to update it.

I used the "second method" and just let the Moto installer do it's thing. It will take some time and look like it may be freezing occasionally, but just let it go. It should work.
Hope this helps.

I'm updating right now through the second method. I'm surprised I didn't find that sooner..I should of just went to the website to begin with..but I searched google and couldn't find any information on how to download it without going through an automated update.
I was also wondering if I should do a factory reset after updating
I bought this tablet just a few weeks ago and there have been 2 new ota updates out. every few minutes it pops up and tells me there is a new update ready to install. It downloads, verifies, then reboots and trying to install gets about 1/3 of the way though and ends up with the red exclamation mark over the dead android. This tablet is completly stock i have not moddifed anythng since i have gotten it. I even downloaded the newest rom and tried to do it manually and still nothing. Im stumped. Someone plz send some help my way. My current version is 9.4.2.14 US
Hi
I read many threads in many forums but still hope to get my data back as it represents bits of my life and more important than the phone itself, though some cases were similar but none exactly same plus i care much about my data and I never rooted, messed up with or even tried to do anything like that with my phone
here's what happened in details on my Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-I9300 maybe someone can help me
phone's SSN: -I9300GSMH
Made in Vietnam by Samsung
bought from Egypt where i live, SIM-free, not carrier locked, though i bought it from the carrier's (Orange subsidary in Egypt called mobinil) official store with warranty 1 year that now expired
the old firmware was 4.1.2, i got its build number from colleagues with similar phone bought same time as me I9300XXEMF6
here's what happened:
1- OTA firmware upgrade notification, downloaded package, options were cancel , install and install all package(somthing like that)
2- unfortunately chose install all package(yes i didn't read so i donno which version this was installing) and scheduled to start 5:20am
3- at 10:30am phone screen showing "starting apps"
4- after more than an hour still the same so i rebooted
5- stuck at samsung blue splash screen logo
6-removing battery and back in didn't help even for more than an hour, Samsung Kies won't recognize the device
7- Recovery mode give strange behaviour, didn't find similar in any forum, it brings the green droid man with a counter (like installing or loading somthing) reaches 27% exactly then this droid man flips on its back, red exclamation sign triangle on its belly and it dies, here's the ling to small video showing my mobile doing this
"https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B0RJAWx6Ec-MUUlncVdjWFp0c1k/edit?usp=sharing" (there's no spam in the link, so plz just copy paste in browser to view, this is important to help show my problem)
yes that's RECOVERY MODE-->phone reboots itself coming back to stuck at samsung logo
there are no options, no menu on recovery mode just the after pressing the (Vol Up+home+power) combination it starts by itself this loading something till it dies and restarts, it doesn't give me any options or any control or allow me to interfere
yes download mode is working but i really hope there is another option than flashing the mobile and loosing everything, my whole life history that was on the mobile
praying God someone can help find me something to make it continue past the 27% or even go back to normal without loosing any of my stuff
really looking forward to your support..i'll be waiting for it b4 i do anything
many many thanks
Flash firmware with Odin and next time back up you're data.
Thanks andrewwright
if you just could be more specific..is this the only solution?
if yes, then which firmware version to flash that won't risk loosing my data? 4.1.2? or a newer version?
please if anyone else with less risky suggestions,,please your help is highly welcome
Flash a custom recovery like philz, use aroma file manager to save your data to external sd card.
Go read and learn how to do this from philz thread in original development.
This won't enable your phone to boot, but might save your data -if it is still there.

Hi all
Odin 3.09
and latest Egypt firmware 4.3 for the GT-I9300 from samfirmware .com solved everything... i guess 4.3 is the version that this OTA firmware upgrade was eventually taking my phone to but got stuck somewhere during the process
not a single bit of Data lost, everything is there pictures, sms, even the settings
Thank God :angel:
thanks everyone for trying to help
cheers
Wasn't sure if it would wipe you're data or not. Some do some don't. Can't tell the outcome till its done. Glad you solved you're problem.

Hello Xda community,
Alright after exhausting all other options i have decided to turn to our community in hopes that i can come to some sort of resolution for this matter. Okay i own a Sophix Tab-840g past warranty my problem is my software was causing freeze and reboots i left it that way for a while because it wasn't bothering me. So i waited long enough for them to make a new firmware and i upgraded, however upon doing so i was not able to use the touchscreen. Also, i have no back up...... was a bad move in retrospect. I did some research and found that that the freezing was due to the actual firmware and many people had tried to update running into the same situation where the touchscreen stopped working.
The only difference between when i did it and when they did it is the company had there older firmware available still. That is no longer that case they only have the new firmware and after calling they no longer have old software available. Other people reverted back and atleast there tablet worked, however I CANNOT get the old firmware ANYWHERE........in there guide they talk of the use of update "update-tab840-v02-20130315.img" when using there batch program. The only firmware available is the new one “upgrade-tab840-v03-20130607" i'm looking for the older update "update-tab840-v02-20130315.img" to fix my tablet or a way to fix this touchscreen hard reset is out of the option i have already done this method a couple times, i tried installing from sd, and from the computer all with the same error. Thank you so much for reading this and also for any help i procure. I will be uploading the version of my firmware i have no and the old one if i get it so this can the fix for this dreaded problem with so few forums talking of a fix.
Thank you,
Captainsploof
