Hey guys,
I've got a tab from google I/O and the update from a few days ago doesn't seem to be working(the google videos one). If I don't get this update, I imagine I won't get the touchwiz update or anything after that. The only thing I have changed is the kernel. Does anyone know where I can get the stock 3.1 kernel as an update.zip?
Thanks,
Sam
I flashed this http://droidbasement.com/db-blog/?p=2054
but it didn't help..
I did get that update on my IO so it should work.

No matter what I do, it always just fails at 13%. It's times like these that I wish I could attach a serial cable to get console output during bootup. They should really sell debugging daughterboards haha.

Ok so I'm pretty new to the android scene. Today I got a notice that I had a update so I unrooted because of people saying that if updating while rooted it will brick then I clicked apply update. My phone then rebooted and said up date failed. Im guessing from the lack of cell reception. Does any one know how to try again if I check for updates it says no firmware thankyou in advanced

There are a couple of ways to do it,
1) force your system to check for update
2) use ODIN to manually update, you can grab the software from the development section in the bible.
ok i tried to force update but it doesnt do anything then i tried to clear the data from the Device management app and check for updates again and it says system not ready check network or sim so im guessing i should just wait it out to see if they push it again. i would rather stay away from the sdk area i just got the phone out of the black screen of death today.
I take it you can 3 finger salute your phone if needed?
I personally feel the easiest thing to do is update it through mini Kies. If you need further instructions on how to do it, let me know.
I'm gonna hold off for a week because tmobile is sending me a new phone for some other issues I'm having but how would I update through mini kies cuz the gps on this phone takes so long so when I get the new phone I'm gonna fix that

I've had my SII for a couple weeks now. Love it. BUT, Kies is a real piece of garbage. Having come from a Windows phone and Microsoft's lousy ActiveSync software, I didn't think it would be possible to find a syncing product worse than AS. But Kies is FAR worse. It worked once, the first time I tried it. It has never worked since. I've read all the comments here and tried all the recommendations. Nada! I AM able to connect using the USB Mass Storage function, so all is not lost. But obviously, I'm not going to be able to do any updates (unless I misunderstand how Samsung issues the updates), which is extremely disappointing. Sad, sad, sad.

Make sure usb debugging is off and that the drivers are correctly installed. Also make sure your rom actually supports kies.

Thanks for your response. I had checked all of the items you mentioned. So...I uninstalled both Kies and the USB driver and did a reinstall. Kies started. I then disconnected and reconnected. Worked again. Up popped firmware update. I'm a little hesitant to update since the phone has been great. What do you think? Should I update? And can you tell me how long the updating will take, normally?
-Bob-
If you haven't rooted it just update via KIES, should take around 10 minutes.
Try different USB-connector on your computer. Some of them arent working properly. It happened me. And I changed USB-connection. And it worked. Might help you!

+1 ifind that the rear USB slots are best for kies/Odin/syncing. The front ones never seem to work 100%.

Thanks for all the responses. After the re-install all seems to work fine.
Regarding rooting the phone (my next project): Will rooting disable Kies? If so, how do you handle firmware updates?
Love this phone!

No it doesn't.
My phone came with T-Mobile UK KE3. rooted it (just to make sure that it worked). Loaded the KE7 ROM (UK stock) to get rid of the T-Mobile stuff. Rooted it again. a few days later on I downloaded and ran the KF3 (UK stock) through the Samsung software. Lost root.
I finally rooted it again.
So rooting it doesn't affect the updates and debranding to stock means that the upgrade will also be stock.
Question says it all, still waiting, hope to get this thing working like it should !
I haven't got it yet...but for me it looks like the site is down...grrr...Been having some random reboots...hopefully this ota helps
No update here either. I just spoke to an Asus rep and he said it will be up tomorrow. Take this with a grain of salt because he also mentioned that the version of ICS that we have been running is quote "from android" and the Asus version will be available tomorrow . Also can someone also check if your "check update" is working under settings. Mine just sits there after clicking and does nothing. The Asus site is also down for me but works fine if I'm tethered and using mobile date. I wonder if that's related. Thanks in advance

Am getting the update notice since early this morning, trying to install, but poor Android dude drops dead on its back with a big red triangle busting out of it's gut ???? Wtf ???
Update cant install. Is it because i'm rooted?
Battery is at 50%, could that b the cause?
I' ll keep you posted

I got the update in bed last night at 20% battery and installed fine. You may have a bad download, redownload and try again.

Update installed at 11:45pm (19th) in Toronto. Lost root but recovered it with previously installed OTA rootkeeper. Everything seems to be working smoothly. Haven't checked whether the gps is any more responsive yet.
BTW, I wasn't having any of the reboot issues so things haven't changed there.
I rooted my I717 a long time ago but have never been able to get call recording to work... So I recently went searching for ways to make that possible.
I read this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1329360
and DL'd this file: CF-Root-SGN_XX_OXA_LA1-v5.0-CWM5.rar because my baseband number ended in LA1.
I ran the "already-rooted" bat file on my phone and after rebooting, my phone is completely dead. Power button does nothing. Cant boot to recovery or anything. It's just dark with no signs of life.
I now realize that I was looking at the N7000 forum and that I probably screwed things up royally.
Please help with any ideas you have.
Thanks,
-Patrick
You should try and send the phone back for manufacturer repair... No power at boot is not a good thing.
Were you trying to unroot your phone? I mean your post said you were trying to get call recording working... kinda confused as to the logic on this one.

Well at that point I was flashing a new kernel as per the steps in that forum link for already rooted phones... So yeah. I know now there is a big difference between the I717 and the N7000. I just wish I had noticed earlier. I just saw the "Samsung Galaxy Note" in the forum title and didnt read further.
I spent 2 hours at the AT&T repair center today. Looks like they're going to mail me a refurb in a couple weeks or something. Would still like to get this one running again if at all possible.
Ok. Let me run some info.
1) Rooted
2) Flashed to run Page Plus
3) CDMA
4) Stock ROM currently
So, I've been nagged by the sprint download for a long while now. I finally decided to go ahead and run the update that was suppose to only install the Sprint Optimizer. Well, after running it and phone restarting, I can't get connected to WiFi. In settings, WiFi now says "Error" as the status.
Well, being the genius that I am, I decided to try and find the download and re-run the update. Couldn't find it. So, I went on XDA Developers and downloaded the PACMAN ROM. When attempting to flash, I get "Error 7". Having no clue what that is, I tried flashing again and got the same error code.
Does anyone have some kind of ROM to flash to get my wifi back or knows of what to do to fix this? Thanks!
FYI. I did go to:
Settings>wireless and networks>mobile networks>automatic connections
and turned it off, rebooted, and nothing still for wifi.
If your phones not s-off it won't be able to flash anything other than HTC/sence roms but if you do that you can flash any sence Rom with either kernel and that will fix it. Being rooted and trying to update will mess up the kernel witch controls thing like WiFi and data connectivity also CPU speed and other things.

Today has been hell! I switched over to Next G Mobile since PP had been down since yesterday (everyone on H***** Forums was talking about it and the buyout). Even though I'm a dealer, I found out that the stuff is actually done MANUALLY. When I put in a request for a port on my dealer page, it goes to someone at NGM to do it manually. Anyways, after 3 hours of on the phone with them, I finally got ported over and 3G data working on my EVO 3D. I re-rooted the phone since I had done a hard reset. Now, I'm scared to add a rom and hose it up again. I think I'm going to buy a Samsung Galaxy S II from Ebay (less than $100 if you buy the bad ESN models) and go from there.
