Hello!
First of all, thank you - Condi - for this great tool.
Unfortunately I managed it to flash a downloaded OTA (signed-nbx03_007-ota-11000.014).
Right now, the device is rooted, has Android 3.2 and Kernel Build10#1 on it.
I was able to disable update notifications with your tool, but everything else is not working right now because of the common Build10 Problem.
Is there a way to get back to stock, even without root but @ 3.2.1 and the upcoming 4.0.3?
Thanks in advance!
Sorry, but this it not really true. The build#10 problem concerns only 3.2.1r2 version. Otherwise you would be not able to root your device with version 3.2.
Could you explain what you mean with "but everything else is not working right now because of the common Build10 Problem.", please?
Regarding your question .. it is really easy to go back to stock .. switch update notifivcation "on" (maybe you have to restore origional build.prop) and install the update version 3.2.1R2 ... done.
Its a bit difficult to explain, but right now I have 3.2 installed.
After switching the update notification to ON, I get the message to update to 3.2 again (!?)
Right now, I have root access in my device. The tool is able to switch notification on/off, but re-root or another step (6-8) is not possible for me.
I get the error that is typical for Build#10 in the script.
hi, i have a problem with my tablet, i tryed the tool ALLinOne and first i rooted my device and it was fine.
after that i installed rescue-backdoor and the tablet installed the 3.2.1 android again. and i lost the root.
but the problem is, i can't root my tablet anymore now. i get the message:
your kernel version ... has been locked down
Hi,
If you have kernel build #10, then you can't root.
The problem is that once you have root and applied rescue-door, then you should NOT update, otherwise you loose all your changes.
The main problem is that seems that the new update you downloaded brings build 10... so you can forget root for a time.
Regards
maybe it is possible to install a other OS via the recovery mode?
Not without root ... sorry for this bad news ...
Now you only can wait for ICS update.
May be there is a little chance to change the unfortunately situation.
Hi,
i bought a Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-I9300 about two months ago, it's a Spanish device. I think the device came with 4.0.1 update of ICS, some weeks after buying it got 4.0.4 update and then using CF-Root 6.4 and Odin 1.85 managed to get root access so i was able to install busybox and UMS application from xda forums. So everything was working fine. Then, about 3 days ago i got an update notification which showed me a message which said "Updates will be provided in the request order preference" or something like this, i tried to update a few times more but no luck, i always got the same messages so i thought i had to wait for 4.1 update to get published but anyway everything was working fine.
The curious thing is yesterday ( August 25, 2012), when i woke up i noticed a firmware update was ready to be installed so went through it (without uninstalling CF-Root 6.4, supersu, etc.) but the strange thing was, after the update completed fine, went to settings to check the version and i saw it still/again was 4.0.4 version of ICS. Also noticed Google Play Books and Google Play Movies got installed so on one hand it seemed everything went fine cause new apps were there and everything worked as expected but on the other hand i think i already had 4.0.4 update installed on the device. Till that point one can think i got confused on the versions i got installed before the update and no major problem here. After that, as i already had root access on the device, i went to check if i still could run UMS app but it complained about missing root access so as i did before that last Android update took CF-Root 6.4 and Odin 1.85 to flash the device and get root access again (Without removing any previous install of CF-Root, super su, busybox, etc. ) but had no luck, so now it's not possible for me get root access again but i'm also still wondering how is it possible that today's update left the phone with the same Android version as before the update.
The only explanation i can find is the phone came with 4.0 version, first update got me to 4.0.1 and today's update guided me to the 4.0.4 but i'm still wondering why root access is not working as it should.
So my questions are, did i got confused about each version update? Then why can't i get root access again just repeating the same first process?
When opening busybox i can read "Not Enough Free Space in /system". Opening /system directory with Root Explorer i can read 1.05GB used, 436.39MB free. Is it right /system directory takes up to 1GB of the space? Why Busybox thinks there is 0.0MB free there?
Hope someone can help. Thanks in advanced!
Thousands of posts say OTA updates may fail if the phone is rooted .
Usual is to fail part way through an update ..
Suggest wipe the phone flash stock rom with Odin then root .

Thanks a lot for the info. Am i going to loose installed apps, system settings, etc when doing the suggested process? Do i really need to wipe the phone before flashing the phone? I suppose i can find stock rom for my model here in the forums. Thanks!!
Hi,
i'm looking for a stock firmware for my SGS3 BaseBand I9300XXLH1 but i'm not able to find it. I think the firmware which came with my phone is unbranded and from Spain. But the question which i'm wondering is, do i really need to flash the phone? Isn't possible to solve the issue in another manner? After updating through OTA the rooted device, what's supposed to went wrong?
Lastly, what's wrong on updating a stock rooted firmware using Phone/Android update system? Don't understand how doing that can break the phone forcing me to wipe data and flash the phone.
Hope someone can help. Thanks a lot!
PD: After rebooting the phone in recovery mode i can see stock recovery has been installed with last update. Hope someone can make a bit of sense about it all. Thanks in advanced.

Get your firmware from here http://www.samfirmware.com/
then use odin to flash it, I had the same problem
Baseband is modem not firmware.

Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
Thanks to both for your answers. Maybe it's stupid but i'm some what more peaceful knowing other people also happened the same issue although it still feels very weird. All i did is flashing with CF-Root 6.4.
I've been looking for the stock firmware which is supposed to came with my phone at sammobile site but i'm not able to find it, although at that point ( where the phone got the same update twice, 4.0.4 ) i don't think i can trust the information provided by the phone. Under phone settings i can see Model Number is GT-l9300 and Base Band Version is i9300XXLH1 but i can't find it no sammobile site. What i find at sammobile site is I9300XXBLH1 ( notice B letter ) but i think that before this weird behaviour happened the phone showed Base Band Version I9300XXBLFB.
Is it all possible or the weird one is me?
Kickasskev, did you got 4.0.4 update twice?
Thanks again to all!
REPEAT BASEBAND IS NOT FIRMWARE nor is it firmware version .
To locate firmware try CHECKFUS .
Or stock providers roms from the sticky on XDA .

0. Remove all root apps from your phone.
1. Back up your rooted rom in cWM.
2. Use triangle away to get rid of the traingle.
3. Format system and cache.
4. Flash an official rom.
5. You should have all your apps + settings on a stock rom without the status being 'modified'.

I've used checkfus and now i know my firmware.
Thanks for the step by step tips, but my phone is not rooted so i cannot use cwm, triangleapp and so. I. Annot also remove cwm manager nor supersu. I suppose i'll have to flash stock firmware first of all. Am i right?
Pretty strange, first time i rooted the device through cf-root6.4 it run flawlessly, but now i had to remove the battery after flashing ( while device was on ) and enter into recovery mode by hand which started the rooting process.
Thanks!
Hello XDA!
As the name of this thread implies this is the last resort to rooting my GT-p1010 1st gen Galaxy Tab. It is currently running some version of android 2.3.6. I say some version because a while back my father was successful at achieving root access, then something went wrong. Eventually he got some random ROM on it that has the KERNEL VERSION [email protected]#1 I have no experience with dealing with kernels so I would not know if it is stock or not. I have hwo ever rooted and install and custom recovery and ROM on my kindle fire, so I do have experience with this type of thing.Let me get to the point:
I have tried the newest version of Odin and this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1386643. I keep getting "Can't open the serial(COM) port" I also am positive that I have all of the correct drivers install for the use of Odin.
I have also tried a manual root and used both GingerBreak and psneuter with no avail.
I have tried installing Z4root and the GingerBreak.apk file as well.
I have tried each method under numerous circumstances and variables!I have also done some extensive homework on each of the failed attempt I have.
I probably should not be posting this thread here, but I want it to get as much attention as possible. I have been working on and off this for 3 weeks and have decided that it is time to come here. ANY REPLY IS MUCH APPRECIATED!
I've read about 100K of different threads on multiple forums about this but I'm still not 100% sure how to do this without borking my Fone.
I have been able to revert back to the original KK 4.4.2 Rom and got root with Kingo and TWRP recovery installed.
I have also got all the Asus TW and WW updates on the SD card.
Is it really as simple as booting into TWRP Recovery and flashing the SKU I want?
Is there a way to keep Root and TWRP after flashing to Lollipop? When it was on the latest update I couldn't get root from any source I tried.
Several posts have said to do the ADB sideload. I haven't had a lot of experience doing this. Still a little hesitant to try it.
Can anyone help a poor soul out?:silly:

No one? Or are all the thread views from others in the same boat?
Profit! Or whatever that's supposed to mean.
Well I got it to work. I changed my Padfone S Plus from the TW SKU to the WW SKU
I completely wiped everything from TWRP including the OS and then I sideloaded the latest WW 12.2.2.43 zip and the phone did the rest.
I have however lost root. But maybe that's not a bad thing as this version of Lollipop allowed me to either delete bloatware or at least disable it from the apps/widget settings.
If anyone finds a way to root this please let me know as I've spent HOURS trying every exploit I can find. Towelroot and Kingo failed miserably.
Wooo Hooo finally got root!!!
Used KingRoot.
http://www.kingroot.net/
Installed the desktop version, started it, hooked up the PadFone and prayed! And it worked.
Unfortunately the desktop version is all in Chinese so I guessed which buttons to push to get it installed and running and I was successful.
Now I'm a happy camper! Off to remove bloat!
