Upgraded Installer to 4.0b5-4. It freezes updating Sources

**williamjv** · 08-17-2008, 01:28 PM

What's going on guys?

I just upgraded Installer 4.0b4-4 to 4.0b5-4. Now i'm not able to use the Installer at all as every time i open the app, it attemps to refresh the sources and it just freezes the application.

I've rebooted my phone and tried opening the application again, but same thing.

Is anyone else having this problem?

yeah just happened to me. says it is updating 8 files and it just hangs...my guess is give it time.

***** Never mind all is good on my end************

yes the same think to me, i have to wait like a 3 or 4 minutes, and i refresh souce by source, and when a want to unistall one apps, installer with the new install can´t be erasure

**stlcaddie** · 08-17-2008, 02:39 PM

Master of all BETA'S.....though im sure it's a minor fix for them.

**nycdiplomat** · 08-17-2008, 02:52 PM

This is correct!
For all of those having this problem, make sure you disable "auto Locking" before opening Installer (after installing upgrade) this will let the Installer sit on the frozen screen for a while (do not press the home button even if you notice the phone is frozen) with time, eventually all sources will refresh even though you will not see a countdown on your resources refreshing.

After all sources refresh for the first time, go ahead and re-enable autolocking and you should be fine.

ok i have the old version of installer 4.0b2 when i go to upgraded packages all i have is a bunch of airhorn and no installer upgrade. I have pages and pages of airhorn. Why is that?

getting same thing... if you let it sit there it works..
Anyone know how to downgrade and keep your sources?
