Hello,
I started OTA update to android 3.2 on my dads galaxy tab 10.1 3G (original rom and unrooted, it downloaded successfully (89 or so megabytes).
Then it restarted and updated with no problems, but then notice came up that another update is possible (~39 megabyte size).
So I downloaded it and galaxy restarted to install update.
And now it is stuck at 22 percent on logo screen almost for 1 and a half hours...
What do I do?
I believe resetting it manually is far from safe?
Good lord, why do you use OTA update. There's the downloadable which is more stable , And Odin > Kies by a long shot, a very long one.
I didn't know better...
The thing is still on
I think you can cut it off? I'm pretty sure it needs to download it all, then install it first making it safe
Thanks,
I disconnected the thing and next reboot update went as it should, although very slow.

So my 10.1's been stuck at 46% on the 3.2 update now for about an hour. Has anyone had as long of a delay?
Not sure how long to wait or, really, what if any options I have...
TIA
I am installing the update right now through OTA.
For me it stayed in '46%' only for a couple of minutes. Now i am at '51%'
I have heard it takes a while, I'd sit tight if you are still waiting...
On another note, does anyone know if this update to 3.2 breaks root?
*EDIT* Did update, root not lost.
Update: Called Samsung tech support. They instructed that if the update hangs the fix is to just turn the tab off and then on again. Update started again and completed without error.
Hello,
recently I downloaded a Glamour S4 and installed it. Also I downloaded, what is propably obvious, CWM. I used it for some time, but didn't like bacause of many bugs and limitations. I tried to download other rom, Project Chaos, but what is driving me crazy I couldn't download it from mega.co.nz becauze it freezes all the time on 66 or 90%. So after two days of trying to download and having this issue I decided to go back to original. I did everything as in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2323847 but after finishing I realized that the software is branded by one of operators here in Poland, and it was freezing too long (about 30 minutes and samsung logo stayed still).
Fortunetly I had my backup from CWM. So what I did then was:
Installed CWM
backed up software
Installed original recovery
Set binary counter to default
Then I figured that root is still on my phone, so I choosed option in SU to fully unroot
Voila! Soft is smooth and as it was orginally. Status is original. Everything as it was before I changed any software, except one thing - I cannot check if there is a new update. I have internet connection, can access websites through wifi or mobile data etc., but when I check if there is new software, phone only shows "checking if there is new software" and progress bar, and it stays for 5, 10, 30... 60 minutes even, and nothing is happening...
It is annoying cause I wanted to back to fully original and wait for the official update, but right now something is wrong... Do anyone know, why?
Cheers!

Hello.
I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 i9500. I got it about 2 years ago. About a year after purchase I rooted the phone to install a backup software, but I did not know that rooting would disable software updates and when I found out that S4 had gotten the Lolipop update but my phone wouldn't show anything for two months, I decided to install the "original" Lolipop from Samsung. I found it on a website which I do not remember anymore.
Well here's where the problem starts - Apparently my phone was from Korea and it was imported to India. As a result of me installing an OS made for India on a Korean phone, the SIM wouldn't work and the OS ran very crappily. I got the SIM unlocked by an operator but the OS just sucks really bad. It gets stuck very often, apps close randomly and they behave as if they have been relaunched every 5-10 mins. Sometimes if I'm playing music the player will stop mid-track and I have to press play again. The menu and homescreen also do the same thing, keep behaving as if they have been relaunched every few minutes or every time I unlock the screen.
Any idea what I can do to fix my phone? I'm ready to go back to a previous version of android if that means a smooth, non-annoying experience.
Check your actual version of the stock rom from sammobile.com. Download the correct stock rom and re flash through Odin
Thanks, but I just ended up installing CyanogenMod and gotta say I'm more than happy with it :3
I have a VF-895N (rooted and stock rom - update 130FFN2), yesterday I decided to update my phone from 5.0.2 120FFN2 to 5.0.2 130FFN2, I removed root and made a hard reset, started the update process but at the very end of the update, it said "error", then I got stuck into a bootloop " no command" but managed myself to re-flash stock rom already updated with the latest version. When it finished flashing, I booted up the phone, started to remove bloatware, rooted the phone and started to install apps like Facebook, Instagram and other stuff like that.
I finished installing all the apps I wanted but I noticed my battery was draining very fast and also my phone was overheating, I tried to open Instagram for the first time but it freezed, tried the same with Facebook, it freezed.
Overall the phone's performance was very bad comparing with the one I had before re-flashing.
Now I don't know what to do, some apps close or freeze, the phone does not overheat much now bcuz I installed setcpu and set the values to min.=240mhz and max.=980mhz tho I don't understand much of these things... (Initially the values were 1.020mhz of min. And 1.020mhz of max.
I did hard reset 3 times and I always got the same result and I also cleaned the cache too.
I can't downgrade bcuz there is no stock rom available anywhere except for a flash tool (Sugar QCT) that flashes the latest update, which I already have and seems to be broken.
Please help me.
