I keep receiving an "internal error" and since I'm away from a computer, I won't be able to manually update it OR find a thread already similar to this :/ any suggestions/fixes for this anyone? Today's 5 thanks goes to the 1st one that can help me out

It has been said doing Noobnl's EFS clear of the modem fixed this for some people. It is a communication error between your phone and Sprint. So the EFS clear reactivates the phone. I will find a link to the thread.

Did it work for you?

This didn't work for me, but I got a new min from sprint and it has worked perfectly since

Nope, I tried but didn't seem to help. Keep getting the same error dnt know exactly what caused it since I was able to properly update my PRL without any troubles whatsoever about a day ago. U think a logcat might tell me what's wrong?

I don't think there would be enough information in the logcat but try it. It may just be a Sprint error in your neighborhood. It may fix itself in a day or two. You can also try Odining back to straight stock and see if it works. When mine would get the same error...for months...magically one day it worked and did for a lot of people. It was a Sprint network error then.

I also tried Odining back to stock the other day as well an it didn't help either. Still get the same internal error. I was also wondering if this might be on Sprint's network and not my Epic. I mean I can update it manually when I'm @ home near my computer so its no big deal but...I would really enjoy being able to update it easily over my Epic again.

I was about to start a thread on this. Maybe it's not my phone. I am unable to update my profile, prl, or any other update. A soon as I check for an update the wifi or 3G icon disappears, and the update check fails.

It sounds like it might be, and area related. Mine still updates. They could be updating some towers and network near you and that server is down which has the PRLs and Profiles. The average Sprint tech won't know, you will probably need to be on Tier 3 tech.

I just tried updating mine and got the same error. It has never failed for me in the past so I would guess it's a network issue. We had some strong winds here last week that made my service a bit screwy, so maybee they are just doing some maintenance.
Edit: I just tried it on my girlfriends epic after posting this and it worked on her phone. Tried again on mine and got the same error. We are both running the same setup. Hmm...
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium

Yes. I have 2 Epics on my account and 1 would update fine but mine would not until the day Sprint fixed the network problem. Drove me crazy for awhile trying to figure out the differences in the phone. So probably still a Sprint error. You could call them and have them go through reactivation to see if it makes any difference.

I have also had this issue for about two or three months. In that time, I've used EF02, EH06, and back to EC05. Modems were updated accordingly to match.
Currently running SFR 1.2 + Genocide 2.0 + EG22 modem. I've tried both flashing via CWM and ODIN back to stock EC05 (and EC05 modem) without restoring anything, still no go. My brother Epic (always been stock EC05, with root) updates PRL and profile just fine.
EDIT: After about 1 hour with Sprint, I had to re-ODIN to EC05. I finally got re-activated after yet another hour with Sprint. And despite that, still the issues with PRL/Profile. Will probably take it in tomorrow, no use in restoring my old setup yet.

I wiped my modem then had sprint re activate it. Was perfect for a week then now I'm unable to update prl or profile. Same error internal error. I also just restored a nandroid and then reflashed the rom entirely trying to fix this. I also updated the prl manually hoping that would allow me to update profile and such again but nope. It must be on sprints side. I also was gonna make a thread about this lol

With all the text messaging, MMS and prl errors suddenly popping up along with Sprint's promise to improve their network through October I believe it is a Sprint network error and will clear up by end of month.

Ceelos Odin'd back to stock and still wouldn't update. I am sure it will clear up soon.

ODIN back to Stock
This was a problem for months for me as well.
After flashing several ROMs and kernels, and different GB leaks, I decided to go back to 100% stock. My phone came with Eclair 2.1 out of the box, so I found that and ODIN'd to it.
I let it do the OTA update to EC05 Froyo and was able to update my PRL to 60681
I can't explain why, and it may have been a coincidence with Sprint's network, but ODIN'ing the phone back to stock that way seemed to fix it. I've flashed a few Froyo-based ROMs and haven't had an issue since.

Another OTA Update (next week)

Not sure if this was already posted, at least I didn't see it. Anyway, if it was, my apologies. Just wanted to pass along.
According to the Sprint website
12/15 update - for those devices where the update has started but did not complete successfully, there will be a fix available soon. The target is next week, but nothing 'official yet'. I don't have information on whether it will be a new OTA push or available only via the Service Centers, but will post an update as soon as I learn more.
It seems like there were more than a few issues on the whole EG30/31 thing so they need to do it again, lol. I'm just wondering if now they will take the opportunity to just combine it with the EL13 update.

I was wondering the same. Maybe a OTA that has CIQ stripped out. Sprint is obviously trying to save face right now. They are trying to keep us at bay. Look what happened once we started bombing everyone with CIQ info.

I wouldn't be surprised of Sprint isn't removing CIQ software.

how long did it take you type that out-of-context pink floyd line and subject line?

How will we know when we get an OTA ICS?

I'm a little concerned. With everyone here rooted and on custom roms, noone will get the OTA update. That means we have to rely on outside sources for the availability of that update. That also means we will have to unroot/go back to stock to get the update. That just seams like a lot of wasted time. I'm going back to stock right know so I don't waste any time.
Then again, maybe it would be better to get it a couple hours after it is released. I mean with sprints network pushing all those updates at once.... waiting might even be faster.

From what i've seen most of the time the ota is leaked here before its released.

No that was not THE ota but an ota most of the leaks supported ota flash and we will know when the ICS kernel source is released and when you look at your phone and it says there is a firmware update lol

Lol i haven't received an ota on any device since i joined xda
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

You will know. It will be posted on BGR, Brief Mobile, Android Police, etc. Sprint usually lets the world know a few days before the OTA is sent. Chances are it is that it will be the last RDF that is posted before they announce.

On the old Epic the source was usually dropped the night before the OTA started. There's always someone lurking on stock and you get a topic on the forum stating "Have OTA notification can someone help me pull it?"

So, in conclusion, there's no cause for alarm.

Plus not everyone here is rooted. There are those that prefer unrooted stock. I can't imagine why but they exist

Rooting doesn't prevent the OTA from installing. Modifying or deleting system files with your root power is what causes the OTA to fail.
If you install the pre-rooted EL29 ODIN OneClick, the OTA will install file. It will disable your root, as all official OTAs do.

Won't our phones get the OTA notification regardless what build/ROM is installed?

Depends if the app that handles the updates was disabled/removed, never present, or still active.

Makes sense.
Do you know what app handles that and how to check and see if it's still in operation?

That was my thinking before too. When I first installed custom roms with ek02. I thought how I would have get the next OTA update. I just waited until the developer of the ROM i'm using updates it to the latest build. now I don't feel the need to accept any future OTA updats. Plus it will break root anyway, if you didn't change any system files. Might as well wait a few days and get the update with the ROM of your choice. you can always download the OTA update later on and install it manually if you want too. I wouldn't worry too much about it.

I think it is System Updates, but might be Smart Device Manager.
The process to check for updates is distinct from the one that bugs you to install after it is downloaded. They may or may not be in the same app.

Why would you want the official OTA update when you can wait no more than a day and one of our amazing devs will have it rooted and ready to use like any other leak so far.

Verizon HTC One First With Android 4.3 Update

http://www.sidhtech.com/news/verizon-htc-one-android-43-update-att-sprint-tmobile/10017607/
One of the best devices on the market which runs Android is the HTC One. One of the biggest competitors is the Samsung Galaxy S4 and this recently got an update OTA to take away the lags.
So how good is the HTC One? People want to know if the handset will get Key Lime Pie, which is said to be coming out this year. Android 4.3 has come out and there has been a great deal of interest in it. The HTC One is to be the only Android device from HTC to be getting the update.
We have heard a tip from the source at HTC before and he has been correct.
The source told us that the Jelly Bean 4.3 update is now with the carriers in the US, just weeks before the HTC One got Android 4.3. So it looks like the US carriers could have had the update for quite some time.
So it must mean that the HTC One T-Mobile version could be getting the update to Jelly bean 4.3 around August or September. However we would not be surprised if the update arrived at AT&T and Sprint in the summer too.
If Verizon have Jelly Bean 4.3 then they could be the first to launch it alongside the handset, as at the moment they do not offer it.

This reinforces the notion that carriers strategically release or withold updates to try to get more sales at the expense of the consumer. It would be nice if Sprint drops 4.3 within a month, but its likely unlikely.

How did that junk article reinforce that notion?.... It just said the update is supposedly with carriers...that's it.
The only time something is held ever is when a new device is about to launch, and even still that is an extreme rarity. What people don't typically realize is when carriers get the update it takes typically 3weeks to test and approve said update. 4-6weeks if its an OS upgrade too and not just a patch. They have to test and send back to HTC then test again...process takes time.

It's just that Sprint is still sitting on the 4.2 update and now 4.3 and Key Lime Pie is around the corner shortly thereafter. Looking at the big picture, it is plausible that the release cycle is delayed to boost sales. There should be a new flagship phone sometime next year in the first half, possibly launching with Key Lime Pie. Then these 4.2 and 4.3 delays add up only to satisfy users wanting updates to get close to launch date.

The dev edition has been confirmed to be skipping 4.2.2 because it is a "minor update."
I think what Google did is it gave out the 4.3 source to OEMs like Samsung and HTC before it announced it. So, HTC (and therefore, the carriers) has had 4.3 ready for a while. We may be seeing the 4.3 update soon.

And I am actually excited that we're skipping 4.2.2 because a few people were reporting certain issues, and if HTC thinks that 4.2.2 was a minor update, then I can't wait to see what 4.3 will bring.

The way I read that article is that Verizon may be the first to offer the one with 4.3 out of the box, not the first to offer 4.3.

While I hope any update news is true, its all hearsay at this point.

There are so many grammatical errors in there I wouldn't trust it. Also stop saying carriers have the updates. No one has ever come out and said the carriers have 4.2.2 and yet everyone assumes they held onto it in the comments. With the way the Verizon HTC One is realsing with 4.2.2 it is almost painfully obvious HTC and Verizon had some sort of deal.

I don't think you understand what the word "business" means in the real world. Companies could care less whether the consumers receive the update in a timely fashion. If it were both cost-effective and a good move business-wise, updates would be cranked out as fast as possible. But it's not. So they don't.

Jason Mackenzie is answering A LOT of questions on twitter today... Allegedly he wants 4.3 on the dev edition by the end of September if not earlier.

This is great if true. I don't mind waiting for 4.3 because there are a lot of apps that are incompatible with it right now, like HBO GO. I have 4.3 on my Nexus7 and sometimes I wish it was on 4.2.2 so that all my apps are working like they are on my One.

New Update

I am already on KK 4.4.2, but this morning I woke up and looked at my phone and the screen was on with a system message that the "Updated was completed successfully". However, there was no other info on what update was applied. Anyone else just get some kind of update? Not sure if it was firmware, or just some software update. It certainly didn't affect the KK version as that is all still listed as being the same.

No it wasn't an app update. It was a system message popup like you get when a service force closes or a new OS update is ready to be installed.

Profile update maybe? Sprint RDF site is still at ZVC so I doubt it was a firmware update. I mean I could be wrong and it could be a limited test and you could have been a lucky winner.

That's possible. I can't seem to find what was updated so maybe it was just some profile update or something similar, Maybe some updates to Sprint services they pushed out. Not sure at this point. Typically I only get the system update pop up when it's something like a firmware/profile/etc type of update. Normal app updates just show up in the status bar and don't give me a system pop up.
I just wish I knew what it was for.

In one of the threads in the Sprint Forums.
Normally reps beat around the Bush, but in one of the threads complaining signal quality, a rep said May 31.
I'm guessing it's for the 3G/4G switching issues, and there was no mention of Knock Code though.

Yeah, um... never ... and I mean ever.... listen to service reps... lol.
There are numerous bugs since 4.4.2 released. Bluetooth reporting battery drain when off, LG backup is buggy, auto brightness still crappy, and.some other things.
The 3g/4g switching issues are network related. You can get all the updates in the world and until the network updates are finished its just something we have to live with. They could certainly disable band 26 and 41 on phones that dont have it in their area yet but we can do that ourselves so sprint wont bother.
