EventID 3698/User profile synchronization not started

I am trying to start the user profile synchronization service on my sharepoint server 2010 machine  but it was not started and i got the following Error message in the Event Viewer.

"The Execute method of job definition Microsoft.Office.Server.Administration.ProfileSynchronizationSetupJob (ID 0ea2f9be-85d7-4d7d-8be6-bb2462f01e09) threw an exception. More information is included below.
An update conflict has occurred, and you must re-try this action. The object UserProfileApplication Name=User Profile Service Application was updated by aramu\WSSadmin, in the OWSTIMER (1816) process, on machine APP03.  View the tracing log for more information about the conflict."



So I followed the below Methods.
Method
1. Check your Firewall has opened the Forefront Identity Service port are opened and able to Access the Database. or Disable your Firewall
2. Then restart the Timer Job service, restart the IIS and finally start the User profile Synchronization service

Method2:
1. Check your Service account has incluede Local Admin group and that user account has should local profile(should be logged on the sharepoint machine)
2. once you done, restart the timer job service, restart the IIS and finally the start the user profile synchronization service

Method3:
1. Disable the LoopbackCheck on the sharepoint server machine and restart the machine.

For my case I have done method1 and mehtod2, it was worked.
