OTA Update 4.08.605.2 "Rebooting Now..." Issue - SOLVED!

After so many tries and frustration I finally came across the information below and it worked like a charm 
http://forums.androidcentral.com/verizon-droid-incredible/134246-second-gb-update-patch-wont-reboot-issue-solved.html
Can't say this will work for everyone, but it worked for me.
Boot into recovery
Press and hold Power, Choose "Restart" option
When screen turns off, press and hold Volume Down and Power
When the white HBOOT screen appears, use the volume button to move down to “RECOVERY.”
Press the Power button to select “RECOVERY.”
When the triangle and exclamation appears, hold the Volume Up and Power button at the same time.
Using the volume button, scroll down to “Wipe cache partition” and select it.
Select "Reboot system now"
You can now wait for the update to show up again, or try one of the methods in the post: For those who want the second GB update/patch to get the update again. It should reboot this time. Beware, it will stay at the Droid Eye screen after reboot for a while (~5 mins), but eventually, it did get installed. Be sure to make a lot of space for it though... 

The restart option that AmDroid is talking about is not on the regular phone menu. Please read his post carefully. What he is talking about is in an advanced recovery based menu option.
Also, I was on 2.2 and the clear cache set date and time forward trick did not work for me to get the udpate. The clear cache and set date and time forward trick seems to mostly work if you are already on 4.06 software version and want to get the 4.08 software version.
For those on 2.2, patience is warranted! However, if you really cant wait and want to go the 4.06 update manually, you can search Android Forums dot com for manually install gingerbread. And don't worry about the article talking about being rooted. You dont need to be rooted. The instructions will work for a stock phone too. As soon as you do the manual 4.06, the 4.08 update will show up immediately.
Hope this helps!

  • Update: 4.08.605.2 Issue

    I called Verizon Data tech who called HTC and as of a few minuties ago HTC has pulled the 4.08.605.2 update. Of course they do not have an ETA for when it will be resolved. So we have to deal with the buggy 4.06.605.3 update for now

    See the following message which contains the resolution to the issue.

  • Droid DNA - No SIM card after OTA update

    I took the OTA update for the DNA today. Now my phone says it doesn't have a SIM card. Reboot does not solve the problem. Has anyone else experienced this?
    Why can't Verizon properly test updates before unleashing them on its customers?

    I have had the 'No SIM Card' issue before and after the software update, and am beginning to wonder if it's a hardware issue. Last night, I did not have a connection for nearly twenty minutes, and during that time I rebooted (quick power off as well as closing all apps) and turned airplane mode on/off about 20 times. I've had the No SiM card issue for about 3-4 weeks in varying occurrences. I've taken very good care of my phone, haven't dropped it, and haven't done anything to damage it, so I don't know what Verizon is going to do about this, but it's holding me back from updating my data plan and buying expensive accessories like the wireless charger.
    Furthermore, if an emergency situation were to happen while this problem were occurring, I will absolutely hold Verizon responsible for any damages or injury caused by the inability to communicate through 911, etc. 

  • Calendar List not displaying all dates after iOS 5.0.1 OTA update

    Following the recent iOS 5.0.1 OTA update, in list mode my calendar now only displays days on which I have entries.  Previously it showed a list of all days.  Can this be changed by a setting somewhere or is this a bug in the iOS? 

    All was good, My battery and SIRI were working fine, then my bad luck that i updated my phone to iOS 5.0.1 (which is promissing better battery life and Siri funcionality). After updating all went crazy, SIRI is not working any more (it says cant do any thing right now and try later, and i am now trying from 2 days), Battery is not lasting longer then 12 hrs as it was better before. I am seriously thinking to go back to my iPhone 4 and distroy iPhone 4S
    APPLE????? i need answers????

  • HTC Incredible 4.08 update stuck in "Rebooting now..."

    I received the 4.08 OTA update today morning. On the first try I ended up with the "Not enough space to install update" message.
    I then freed up space (deleted SMS messages, data from apps etc) and set the date to Dec 16th, 2010. This caused the update to be redownloaded. However when I hit the "Reboot and install" button, I saw the 10 - 0 sec countdown but the phone did not reboot. It just stayed at "Rebooting now...".
    Doing a manual reboot did not cause the OTA update to be installed. Subsequently I wasable to get the phone to redownload the update but it never reboots the phone to kick off the update process.
    Is there a fix for this other than factory reset?

    After much searching I found the solution that worked for me.
    I also encountered memory issues when trying to get the update to work but after I got the PHONE Memory "Available Space" to 625MB (or so) everything worked.
    Here is what I did:
    First
    Move as much data and as many of the apps that you can to your SD card and then delete others to get to 625+ free space in PHONE Memory.

  • IOS OTA update failed, now iPad wants to restore, but that fails too

    After successfully doing the iOS 5.0.1 update on my iPhone via OTA, I started the process with my iPad2. After a while it appeared to have stalled, but I had to go out, so I left it, assuming it would be done when I got back. As it turns out, when I returned my iPad was asking to be connected to iTunes via USB. When connected, I got the message that it needed to be restored...
    So, I've now tried restoring it about 4 times - the progress bar on the iPad gets about 2/3 of the way and then stalls for a long time, and then I get a message in iTunes that the restore didn't work. I've disconnected all other USB devices. I've rebooted my iMac. My iMac is fully up to date (OS, iTunes, etc)
    Any ideas what I can do to get my iPad restored so I can then restore from backup and retry the iOS update (connected to the iMac this time)?
    Thanks,
    Scott

    I sure disagree with the journanlists reporting Over The Air Updates working well.
    We all have different experiences. I had the issue that you report when I upgraded to iOS 5. I eventually had to put my iPad in recovery mode to get the upgrade to complete. I did not have any issue with the iOS 5.0.1 update. I did not use OTA, I used USB, so my Mac downloaded the entire 750 MB iOS file and I was still updated in less than 10 minutes. The OTA update should normally also be about 10 minutes as the file is a 50 MB incremental update. I do not think that many folks had your issue because we are not being swamped by reports of the issue here in the ASC as we would be if the issue was widespread. So the journalists seem to have it right, it appears to have gone smoothly for most folks, however they updated.

  • Applied OTA update and now phone doesn't work!

    I applied the OTA update offered this morning to my Droid RAZR MAXX.  After the phone rebooted, the screen was blank.
    When I reboot now, I see the Motorola log and then nothing.  I can hear the boot sound, but I can't see anything.
    I tried to reset the phone.  When I select the recovery option, the phone reboots and then shows the little android guy on his back with an exclamation point over him.  I continue on the the next menu and choose the factory reset/wipe data option.  After it successfully completes, I reboot.
    All of this and I still don't have a working phone.
    I took my phone to the local Verizion store and all they could tell me to do was contact Assurion and make an insurance claim.  I have a real problem with this considering it was Verizion's update that caused my phone to quit working.
    Anyone have any ideas?

    Are you attempting the reset through the phone settings or the manual hard reset?
    Through the menu it is settings-privacy-factory data reset-reset phone-erase everything.
    If you are unable to reach the main menu to go into settings you will need to perform the manual hard reset.
    1. Power the phone off.
    2. Press and hold the volume up/down key and then press and hold the power button.
    3.When you see the boot menu release all buttons that you are holding.
    4.Press the volume down key to choose recovery then press the volume up key.
    5. From the droid triage screen press and hold the volume down key, then press and release the volume up key, then release the volume down key.
    6.Choose wipe data/factory reset and then press the power button.
    7.Choose yes to delete all user data and then press power button.
    8.Choose reboot system now and then press the power button.
    If this does not work/already what you have done then it is going to be a device issue that will need to be fixed by either a) calling motorola and seeing if they have a fix for it or b) going into a VZW store and having them update the software/flash the device if they agree to do that.
    If nothing else works, defective device hopefully it's under warranty.
    Good luck.

  • I cant install an update to Firefox and cant remove the old version because a "Setup" pop up window "Your computer must be restarted to complete a previous upgrade of Firefox. Do you want to reboot now?" appears, reboots change nothing. What should I do?

    A friend said she downloaded an update to Firefox (a version of 6, I believe) but didn't install the update, but the desktop icon was gone. The only way to launch Firefox was from the Programs folder. When clicking on the Firefox file, a "Setup" pop up window appeared stating "Your computer must be restarted to complete a previous upgrade of Firefox. Do you want to reboot now?" Clicking "No" does not launch Firefox and clicking "Yes" reboots the computer, but nothing changes after restart and the same series of events keeps re-occurring. When clicking on the safe mode file, Firefox was launched. I went to "Add/Remove Programs" and found Mozilla Firefox 3.6.3. When attempting to remove the program, the same reboot "Setup" pop up appears, and the same non-results as previously described, persisted. I deleted all Firefox files and deleted the update set up .exe files. I again tried to remove the Firefox 3.6.3 program, with the same outcome as the previous attempt(s). I went to the Firefox website and downloaded the updated Firefox 7.0.1 set up .exe file, saved and ran it. When I reached the Setup Wizard page that prompts a "Standard" or "Custom" installation, I clicked on Standard and the same reboot pop up window appeared, again with no change after the reboot. So I have a Program installed (Firefox 3.6.3) with no files, and which can not be removed, an executed update/download .exe for Firefox 7.0.1 that can not be completely installed due to the failure to update by reboot problem. I'm out of ideas on how to try to resolve these problems. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thank you

    Try a clean reinstall.
    * Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    * Firefox 7.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Uninstall your current Firefox version.
    * Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version or you lose your bookmarks and other data in the profile folder.
    * Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    * It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

  • After downloading an update, firefox says "your computer must be restarted to complete a previous upgrade of firefox. do you want to reboot now" and will not start.

    Firefox will not start, or allow windows xp to uninstall the program. When I attempt to start the program, firefox says "your computer must be restarted to complete a previous upgrade of firefox. do you want to reboot now? It gives the same message after rebooting, and will not start, or uninstall. I also downloaded it again, same thing.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == I downloaded an update.

  • Ever since I received my Macbook Pro in July 2011 I've had issues with my wireless connection at home.  After software updates, Apple support suggested I reboot my router which works.  But now I have to do it every other day.  ????

    Ever since I received my Macbook Pro in July 2011 I've had issues with my wireless connection at home.  After software updates, Apple support suggested I reboot my router which works.  But now I have to do it every other day.  ????  AT&T my DSL carrier suggests I get a new router.  Apparently the one I have is really old and doesn't support my Macbook Pro.  Does this sound right?

    If your using WEP encryption yes, Apple has discontinued that becaues it's worthless. WEP (and WPA) is cracked so encryption makes no sense.
    Get a new Wireless N router, set it up with WPA2 (AES) Personal and two different 20+ randon letter/numbersymbol character passwords
    One for Admin access only of the router, keep this on paper off all comptuers in a safe someplace.
    One for entering into devices, computers etc for Internet Access Only.
    You need the long and random password to defeat brute force attacks by GPU software that the hackers have now.
    Also if you give out the password to another, they can't hack the network with the guest access password.
    Computers remember the internet password, so anyone with access to your machines or network will have the password.
    Since you have another Admin only password, they can't hack in. got it?
    You don't need "Invisible" or "MAC Address filtering" that's a waste of time as hackers can sniff a network and causes issues getting on the network.
    Good luck.

  • I did an OTA update to Lollipop on my HTC one M8, the update downloaded, something installed, firmware is 3.28.605.9, but android version is still 4.4.4, has anyone seen this?

    I also cannot check for new anymore

    It is a two stage update.  First update just preps the phone .. not sure what it does really.. most likely removes some Verizon changes to make the real upgrade work correctly.  Connect to wifi and check for the update.

  • Constant rebooting after last night's OTA update

    I have a Droid RAZR HD and did an OTA update last night upon receiving the notification on screen. This updated the system version to 9.18.79.XT926. It updated successfully according to the on-screen notice.
    However, the phone immediately began rebooting about every 3 to 5 minutes after the update. I had no problems with chronic reboots until the update. The phone is virtually unuseable. Has anyone else had this issue?

    Very interesting. I have no idea why they would issue 2 different updates like that. one for the MAXX and another for the HD. Hilarious that one of the issues to be "mitigated" was the "random power cycle and resets." LOL. Right after the update, I started getting resets every 3 to 5 minutes and never had that issue before.
    Be that as it may, I did try going into safe mode first, and hoped that would resolve the problem. It didn't. I then did the factory reset and the phone is still rebooting every few minutes.
    I called Verizon tech support, and to their credit they are sending me out a replacement phone. It will be interesting to see if others encounter the same problem I had.

  • I just updated to 10.9.2 and now my monitor cannot rotate

    I just updated to 10.9.2 and now my palette monitor has:
    1) Lost the ability to rotate
    2) Forgotten my background image
    3) Changed resolution
    It is a LG Flatron E2351.
    I have found others having similar problems and one person has solved it using 'sudo' commands in the command window (something I'm not up to doing) and that scares me a bit... especially since the problem seems to recur after a second reboot.
    This is a MASSIVE oversight by Apple and i'm quite upset that they would not allow 3RD party monitors or displays!
    I use mine (as mentioned) as a palette for video and graphics purposes... and because I cannot fit 2x landscape monitors.
    This needs to be ammended ASAP by Apple. I expect public outcry... I'm hopeful for it... Just like the removal of "mail merge" from Numbers... I'm starting to scratch my head at Apples [P.J.] decisions "post Jobs".

    My colleagues and I have a similar type issue after upgrading from 10.9.1 to 10.9.2.
    We all use mid-2011 Macbook Pro's and also use a sapphiretech Vid-2x displayport to dual DVI adapter.  This adapter essentially bonds two additional external displays into one large monitor.  i.e. two 24-inch displays now become "one" supporting 3840x1080 resolution.  The only caveat to using this adapter is that both monitors need to be of the same model.  There are no drivers needed to use this hardware adapter.
    We don't have displayports per se, rather we use the thunderbolt port.  The Vid-2x adapters have worked fine for us from 10.7 - 10.9.1.
    Since some of us upgraded to 10.9.2 we've all experienced the same issue in that the Mac no longer recognizes the Vid-2x as being capable of the proper 3840x1080 resolution we require.  The best we can get is 3200x1200.  Another interesting note is that there are at least three different model pairs of monitors being used by us (Samsung, Asus, Dell).

  • Updated to 10.8.2 and now none of the MS Office 2011 are working

    Recently, I updated to 10.8.2 and now, none of my Microsoft Office products are launching (2008 or 2011). Any ideas what how this upgrade could have so adversely affect Office and what can be done to correct it?

    We had to completely uninstall MS Office and all associated files. Then we reloaded the app. After a few reboots it worked fine. When I got on the computer today and received the Mt Lion update I was dead in the water again. I'm really not looking forward to going through the entire exercise again not knowing if the next time Apple sends out an update the same will happen.
