[Q] where did the update go? - G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I got notification of the update, which I wasn't expectimg since I have cwm installed, but I chose not to install it. It downloaded but I don't know where it went. How do I find it?
Thanks!

You should have an icon on your home screen that says "updates". Tap on that and see if you are given the option to install it.

Nope. No update there or anywhere that I can see.

You could try downloading it again. There are some links floating around here.

if you have cwm installed do not load the new uipdate see stickys

clockworkmod won't keep you from being notified of updates or prevent your downloading them. It'll just keep you from being able to install them via the OTA update process.

Software Update

I have tried to look for this but can't seem to find info on this, maybe I'm not searching for the right thing, if anyone can point me in the right direction that would be fantastic.
I keep getting a msg on my phone that there is a software update on my phone, I go to install the update, it downloads it, then says my phone needs to be restarted. it restarts and I get to the CWM boot screen... then tells me it failed to update my phone. I'm assuming it isnt working due to the fact my phone is rooted. any suggestions on how to's to do this?
Thank you

If you want a samsung update you have to flash a stock rom without root with Odin. You could also use Mobile Odin Pro for flashing a newer firmware and still keep root. You get the firmware here www.sammobile.com/firmware.
Disable Update
That sounds like a bit of a process that I'm not looking to get into right now... until then, is there a way to disable the update notification so that it doesn't keep alerting me that there is an update? it's starting to get rather annoying, it keeps pooping up from time to time.
You can freeze or remove the Update app. An app that doesn't exist cannot give you notifications.
It's not needed for the phone's correct functioning.
Flashing through Odin + Re-Rooting is a procedure of roughly 5 minutes, 4 of which for the firmware transfer and double-checking of the input.
Update CWM and re-run the root process

I had the same issue. I had rooted the phone using an older version of CWM. In this version OTA updates download but fail to install after booting to recovery.
Download the latest versions of CWM from here and re-run the rooting process. The newer version of CWM (1.5 and up) supports OTA. Worked a charm for me!
Or you can just plug the handset into your pc and update with kies. You will need to reroot following this though.

[Q] Remove Root

I rooted my tablet S and used the AiO tool to install ICS, did this a a few months ago.
One thing that doesn't work is I can't buy anything on the Play market, I get an error message. In addition for some reason I can't upgrade to the recent ICS r1a upate.
I thought I'd update using the official update. Hopefully getting back a working Play market again. I kniow I'll lose root but can then follow the recent root instructions for ICS.
So before doing anything, I assume I need to turn on OTA notification using AiO first, is that all I need to do? Should I look out for anything. Any advice much appreciated.
Try this..

Seeing as you have root, use something like Titanium Backup if the normal App browser cant help you.. try clearing the cache data and wiping your Play stores data as well as some of the other google services.. then if prompted it should permit you to download apps.. u can also use the AiO tool to hack your play store so u can install other apps
best of luck
but if you are set on reflashing your Tab, reactivation the notifications should do the trick, im not too sure bout regaining root after that though

Followed this method, but first changed region to US and got the most recent ICS update. Then ran the automatic ICS root method and worked first time, got root back :good: was very easy
For some reason lost the Play market app, so ran the modded market option from the AiO tool and got it back. Not tried to buy anything yet.

Yes now on r5, looks pretty good:good:
Still got a problem with the play store, can't buy anything. Tried clearing data etc makes no difference. Notice I'm still on v3.5.19 so tried to install latest apk but that fails get a message that says 'Application not installed. An existing package by the same name with a conflicting signature is already installed'.
So wonder if this problem is related to not being able to buy from the store.
Any ideas how to get round this, wondered whether I need to restore tablet to factory settings a try again

Have you tried AIO to installed moded play store?
I installed the modded store when I initially rooted the tablet and think that was the start of the problem. Then ever since I've not been able to buy from the store using the app.
So I've tried to update it to the latest version but without success. Get an error message every time.

[Q] rooted MJ7 won't install MK2 update

I was searching to see if anyone else was having issues, but couldn't find any. I finally decided to turn the update off for the Verizon update, but it keeps saying unsuccessful and I'm assuming because the phone is rooted at the moment. Is there a way for me to install the mk2 update?

Nope, it'll install even though you're rooted, but you need to restore anything you've modified before the OTA will work - or at least any files that the OTA is trying to upgrade.

my guess is maybe the wifi tether, I was attempting to get it to work and there was a file or something to overwrite through a script from one of the threads I was reading. Could that be it?

Very likely the tether - it changes the framework, doesn't it? That's very likely to be updated by the OTA.
Yeah, i have the same issues.. When i download the update ( I'm on MJ7 Rooted) it says please install, i click okay. It reboots it goes into the recovery, tries to update but shows a Error Android image, Restarts, then displays this message saying Error Phone couldn't update nothing was effected or something like that.What's the issue?! i wanna update / root because this message for the update pops up every damn day and it's so annoying! Please help me.

Flash the MJ7 no-wipe ROM that you'll find in the Android Development forum. That will restore all of the stock files that you should need (and also cause you to lose root.)Then, update to MK2 and re-root.

LG G3 Update VS98512B Available

http://www.droid-life.com/2014/12/05/lg-g3-on-verizon-gets-advanced-calling-1-0-volte-in-update/
The update mainly brings Advanced Calling 1.0 and updates to some LG apps.
It looks like Advanced Calling also needs to be enabled on your account.
http://www.verizonwireless.com/supp...Turning Advanced Calling On/Off on Your Phone
Personally, I'd like to know if someone who is stock/rooted with no system files changed can accept the update and keep root. If anyone gets it and tests that, please report back. Also, include whether or not SuperSU is in survival mode.
With the previous update, I was stock/rooted with 1 system file that dealt with headphone volume changed. I had to restore the original version of that file, then the update completed and root was kept (without SuperSU survival mode being required).
I've done the check for updates on my phone, but nothing yet.
I've actually just accepted the update and I still have root. However it may appear to run slowly at the beginning, but eventually everything came back. So if you're worried a root app won't work, then wait around 3 to 5 minutes and everything should be working again and back to normal as well. I was rooted from 10C and now I'm on the latest update.

I see the update available to be pulled now.
SuperSU in survival mode or not? I'm on 11C, but I wouldn't think going from 10C/rooted to 12B or 11C/rooted to 12B would make a difference. I guess I'll give it a go here as soon as I can restore that system file.

I had SuperSU on survival mode. That's what I've always done for each of the updates Verizon released and I've been able to keep root because of it.

I don't think survival mode is required. It wasn't went I went from 10C to 11C.
I'm holding off on this one. I bounce between 4g and 3g a lot and I heard that if you start a call on 4g and it drops to 3g, you will drop the call. Not sure if this is true, hope someone can chime in

From what I read somewhere, I think you can turn it off if you don't like it. My update completed, it's optimizing apps now. Will post once I confirm I've kept root (or not).
I just updated mine. I upgraded from 11C and still have root. I put my SU in survival mode just in case, but I'm not sure if that was necessary or not.
Also, for those that are worried about being stuck on VoLTE. There's a new entry in the Settings menu that lets you turn the "Advanced Calling" on/off at will.
I'm still on 10b rooted using xposed installer with some system apps uninstalled. Any chance I'll be okay taking the update?
If someone could pm me with a link to a system partition dump (or kdz) it would be appreciated, thanks.

I'm back up. I had to restore the sound system file, do the update, then put my custom file back. My frozen apps stayed frozen. I had to re-install xposed framework (didn't have to uninstall it first) and I still have root (I did not have SuperSU in survival mode). All in all pretty easy. Yes, I know the update could have included a shut out of root, but it didn't (for me).
You'll probably have to restore those system apps if you did any type of "hack" uninstall (as opposed through some sort of regular OS menu).
Other than that, you should be good. Just re-install xposed framework through the xposed installer that's still there after the update.
I see a new settings menu for advanced calling with an activate button. It doesn't work for me though because I'm on a business account. I'll have to see if I can get the admin to do it for me. I guess it can be activated either there or through the link in the OP to the My Account portal.

I 2nd this!
I've been doing some searching and still haven't found an answer yet... anyone know how to get rid of the error 0x1117008 when trying to update? I originally was getting error 0x11110004 but found out that was related to the hacked hotspot apk... put the original back and am now getting the new error. I've uninstalled pretty much every app that requires root and am trying to update with super su in survival mode but still a no go. Anybody know what I need to do besides factory restore?
**EDIT** Could it be because my software status shows up as "modified"? Those that have applied OTA with root, did/does your software status say "modified" and update still worked?

Here's another thing i'm noticing... before, I downloaded a couple UI themes to change the nav buttons at the bottom through g3 tweaksbox and after removing g3 tweaksbox, the buttons changed to stock on the home screen but if I go in to settings or any other app it still shows the "LG" logo as my "home" button... maybe some left behind changes that are preventing update?

I did this earlier, it shouldn't be difficult for you, assuming your admin isn't a jerk of course. It's a feature that needs to be checked on your account, but it's also a free feature, so I'm not sure what excuse they'd have for denying your request.

Can't help you with your error code, but I can say that my rooted phone also reported as "modified" status before applying the OTA and it still does afterwards as well.

No. Xposed will block all OTA and removing system Apps will also.

I had Xposed installed and it updated no problem. But I would think the system apps would make it fail though.

Have you done ANY modification of the system files (freezing) or did you bump (install TWRP)? If you installed TWRP, you cannot take OTAs and install them. You must be on the stock recovery.

Actually i managed to fix it myself had to go through a long 2 hour factory reset and reflashing using the flash tool just to get the update to work. But thanks for replying :good::fingers-crossed:
