At this point have you considered taking it to a local store and having them do it? If there is a internal problem then they should fix it. Otherwise your ordeal is rediculous.

Question..was your device rooted @Bluesman2008 ??

Ay&T requires the download thru WiFi only. You can't download over data...

At least that is my understanding

That was my experiene tonight. After three failed attempts to download the damned thing, I tried the next download with wifi turned off. It didn't like that and wouldn't let me proceed without turning it on. What do I know....

Fifteen minutes ago, it let me download again (probably knowing how damned persistent I can be), and I'm downloading now in safe mode (thanks KaosMaster - so far so good. It seems like a much slower download. Could be my imagination or the late hour. I'll report back with the results. I hope I don't wind up putting the tip of a katana through it LOL

I will.

 

[Bluesman2008]

Only up to 22%. Too tired to stay up and watch...I'll report back tomorrow. Thanks folks for all the input..

 

[Bluesman2008]

DIdn't work. Same problem. The mistake I might have made is when the download finished, the phone rebooted. At that point I should've (maybe) held down the volume control so it rebooted in safe mode...but I don't know if that would've made a different. Will try a
