update hangs

tbeernot — Mon, 10 Mar 2014 18:06:36 GMT

I've just tried to install the update. The PC companion recognizes the phone, downloads the update, turns the phone off and then halts. After a while the instructions are shown that I need to plugin the phone into the USB while turned off and with the volume down pressed. When I do that there is a short green-red flash of the LED and then nothing.

Try again with SUS

Turn off your phone > press and hold volume down > connect the USB cable < do not release the volume down key) > wait

Update Service (SUS)

PC Companion (PCC)

Bridge (for Mac)

Is there another computer that you can test? also make sure to disable your firewall and/or antivirus

I have the same problem. Can't get past the "hold volume down" and plug in the use cable into the phone. Nothing hapens on either PCC or SUS. I tried the other way aswell, holding power button and volume button up and also nothing happens.

I'm clueless.

Samsung's Kies never had it this uterly complicated to update a phone's software.

For me switching to Windows7 (instead of WindowsXP) solved the problem.

Never mind. Recieved an OTA update yesterday and updated my phone that way.

Don't seem to have any issues that other people are noticing with 4.4 kitkat except a lil bit worser battery life.

I didn't say its bad, just a tad worse. Still great compared to that disaster that is HTC.
