Problem Updating To .181
#1
Posted 16 May 2012 - 12:47 PM
Is there a log file somewhere to show where the failure occurred?
And is there an easy way to restore the missing bloat WITHOUT wiping out all of my settings/screens/personalizations like would happen with a factory reset?

Not likely man. You're gonna have to use Matt's utility to flash back to stock .173 then grab the .181 OTA
^Exactly right.

I'm surprised there isn't a log file buried somewhere in there that shows the update progress and where it crapped out.
I remember on my last phone, Samsung Charge, it would have a brief text display on the screen with the ! sign before it rebooted and you could figure out what you were missing from that.

That's what I figured. :-(

That's bc Sammy actually likes their devs.... :'(

Cant he just do the 744 rsd and ota all way to 181. It dosent completely wipe. Although im not sure if would restore all he needed. Worth a shot though.Not likely man. You're gonna have to use Matt's utility to flash back to stock .173 then grab the .181 OTA

The system apps (where bloat is) is usually toward the beginning of the check asserts of the script. Otherwise you can just not worry about it and backup your crap and fastboot back using Matt's utility...

Hmm... not sure. i only have used Matt's but if it doesn't completely wipe then I doubt it will add in all the correct bloatware. Right?

Nope, just bloatware apps.

Just bite the bullet and wipe man... You're gonna have to to get the ICS OTA anyway...
Yeah that's the problem, otherwise I'd just ignore the .181 since everything works just fine now. Maybe I'll just put off the pain till ICS actually drops.

The 744 rsd is full rsd minus the wipe so you keep all apps n user data. ( think it leaves data) def leaves apps. I would try that first. And which ever way you go. As soon as you get on 181 and rooted make a stock backup, before you freeze anything or make any changes. That way next time you will just restore nano, remove bootstrap, unroot and ota.
Thanks! I may give that a shot first.
The thing that drives me crazy is I DID do a full backup before I removed anything! As soon as I was rooted, I ran Titanium in batch and did a full backup of all apps and system data to my SD card which I've never removed. Been doing that since my second android phone to avoid these kinds of issues. Now I'm pissed that Titanium won't restore the very things I backed up in the first place for this very scenario. Maybe I need a different backup app since this one doesn't seem reliable. Is there another anyone recommends?

Me neither... I was already on stock 181 for awhile when 84 came out... good thing I was OK considering I had a false sense of fastboot security.... lol

Titanium is a great app, but batch anything other than backup can bring major errors. I would backup in clockwork. Clear cache and backup. This will take a complete pic of your system and data, so when you restore its exactly as it wasThanks! I may give that a shot first.

Yes but you did not go to ICS thru an OTA update such as he is trying to do now with .181

Okay man I ain't trying to argue with you I'm just saying if he is having problems with the .181 update he will still have the same problems with ICS and most likely will not be solved unless he wipes. Especially since he is going from GB to ICS. It's really just good etiquette to wipe. Sure some people have no problems but most people do. Same is true for changing roms.
