Morning guy's, I've just had an update come through but installation has failed, I suspect it's due to CWM being installed, any tips regarding this?

No setting for Brightness after update
Hey all,
An update came through for the OS, and now I'm on 4.0.4. That setting for Brightness is now gone, but my browser is still dark. I've looked through all browser settings and all over the OS settings and nothing seems to make it bright again. Any thoughts?

hello every one
i recently rooted my phone which it has i9300XXALF2 firmware and after a few days it seems to have an OTA update exactly 74.44 MB , after downloading the update , when i reboot the phone it goes to 30% and aborts with an < ! > mark on an android robot.when it restarts and i go to the software update it says that update did not installed and i can download the update again.
so i tried to flash to stock rom,then again i get the same update which does happen the same thing again.
I tried kies too but it says that my firmware is up to date.
i have wiped cach and all data and reset to factory several times but everything the same...
does anyone know what's going on ?
Is it possible that rooted phones dont get official updates any more ?
many thanks for you responses.
Whats going on as per the thousands of exact same questions OTA has failed due to ROOT .

Get the latest official ROM from either a sticky-thread in the General Section or on http://samfirmware.com
Then flash it through Odin. (No data loss caused by a simple upgrade!)
You'll need to re-root your device again since upgrading always reverts root and all system-modifications.

Yes but it may not install .
Update by flashing stock rom via Odin dont mess with Samsung update methods .
jje
at last ...
after a lot of flashing and doing the same thing about 12 times! i finally succeeded ! and downloaded the update
the new version is XXLFB
... anyway i dont know but it's very weird because i did the same things for flash and updating by my wifi and it succeeded after 12 th time !
things i felt about this firmware :
-automatic brightness added in upper (floating) menu
-more control over sound
-1 mb decrease in total amout of ram from 780 to 779 !
-more responsive browser (scrolling in two axis at the same time) >> the thing that i could barely do in XXLF2
-gps locks a bit faster
-messaging interface is changed and moved in the middle of screen
-faster gallery and a bit whole interface
Congrats for finally joining the lfb club. A few weeks later than any of us using custom roms but still =)

My phone is GT-i9300, original stock ROM is ICS, and i have update to JB through OTA which give me XXDLJ1.
Then I root my phone by :-
1. download mode, flash CF auto root via Odin.
2. restart, install Triangle Away and reset the flash counter back
I just want to have root.
So, the question is, why I'm getting "Your device has been modified. Software updates are not available"
If root , then can not check for OTA update anymore?
Or is there any other way? To have root only and everything else like just stock and can check/download OTA again in the future.
Thanks in advance XDA

Thats right.
But if youre on xda why do you want the OTA update anymore? Just flash a stock rom, update via odin as and when a new stock rom is available and root each time.

Thats a question that I was about to ask. . I'm having a few problems with my S3, and I want to correct them but I need root.
I also want to keep it stock, I was a flash addicted with my previous phone, but now I don't have time and I just want something that works, and I want also to be able to check for updates. .
Looking forward to more replies.

As I understood, you won't get OTA updates if rooted whereas you can get updates via kies. Flashing them will remove root though.

Thanks for replying,
I'm coming from Galaxy S1, to S2 and now S3, and Samsung is not the same anymore for me, They really listen to the customer, and always improve their UI and apps. S3 is a solution/improvement for all S2 n S1 complaints.
So, it is really nice to see some app/mod which originate from here at first, been integrate to stock rom of s3 e.g. the toggle, n the lack of led light of s2 n s1
Btw, development means, to make something unusable to become usable,, to make something good to be better.
I think, it is really convenience to just have OTA instead need to find a PC just to hv update.
As my S2, i gain root just by flashing temp CWM recovery through stock 3e recovery n then flash root. It simple as that.

I guess it is the device status "modified". If I understood well you can only get "original" when you flash a stock rom and unroot but please correct me if I am wrong as I never went back to original state till now.

just how often do you think an OTA update is pushed out?
Just use mobile odin if you want to flash any stock roms without needing a pc. Youll get the update far quicker via xda/sammobile than waiting for an OTA one anyway
I'm on stock Rom 4.1.1 and I'm waiting for 4.1.2, it not rooted or anything but when I check for updates through setting I Get this message, I recently started getting this message before it used to say Ive already got the latest update.
What does it mean?

Hi all.
My I9300 (international) runs fantastic on Thinking Bridge ROM.
Only issue is I cannot load apps manually, even though I have enabled installation from unknown sources.
I can open an app installer but it does not proceed when I press install. The cancel button works fine though.
Any ideas?

Are you having jellybean or higher Android? In that case you need to uninstall ChainFire 3D from ADB or Recovery. If JB+ OS, tell me and I help you. Do you have computer and USB cable?

Wrong version of the phone. He has the AT&T model.
OP - Do you know which update you were / are on? If you have 4.3, then you CAN NOT downgrade without risk of really getting into trouble and possibly hard bricking it. If you have not taken the 4.3, and you want to continue to modify your phone, don't install 4.3.
If you have taken the 4.3 update, you'll have to follow this:

If you have not, then follow this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2387423
and stop at 4.1.2.
how do I check the version?

sorry I'm a noob I used this tutorial http://phonerebel.com/how-to-root-a...-4-1-1-verizonattsprintt-mobilei9300-version/
Well, ok, but you didn't answer my question about the update...
And it doesn't help to tell me what guide you used without telling me which file you downloaded.

Sorry i don't know what version it was but I downloaded the i747
I'm asking what software version is ON your phone?
And you probably have the file still on your computer, I'd imagine, to get the name...?
It said in the video 4.1.2 or something like that

Version
Okay so its 4.1.2 now i followed the tutorial and just awaiting on the download! Wish me luck :highfive:
I am not sure how I could be more clear when I asked which version of the software is on your phone. It doesn't matter what the guide said it was for, it matters what is ON your phone before you start. If you were on 4.3 before and you did anything 4.1.2 related, this would be why you are in this situation in the first place. Knowing this would and should have been the first step to any attempt to modify your phone. If, for some reason you don't know (argh!), then the easiest way I can think of would be by the Settings app. Was it tabbed with 4 different options across the top or just one long list that you have to scroll all the way to the bottom to see everything?
The tabbed Settings didn't come by till 4.3 for your phone.
Yes it had 4 tabs
I put the 1.4.2 update on the sd card and tried to install in and it showed a android guy with a red triangle... Did i brick my phone? :crying:
Nvm not bricked
I can still do everytjing as before just stuck at Galaxy s3 logo... I need to unistall chainfire 3d but cant get into my phone
I really need my phone fixed
So what do i do im starting to think it cant be fixed :crying::crying::crying::crying::crying::crying:

I've been watching this thread since you opened it. Why would you use Chainfire 3D to root your phone?
CF Auto Root would of been the better method for attaining root. The previous mentioned program isn't for what you attempted to use it for. Can you get into download mode?

Assuming u are still able to boot into download mode, download the stock ROM of whatever version u were originally on (u can find them on SamMobile) and flash it via Odin

Does anyone else know where to get that update at? And yes I can get into download and recovery the only update is found were here http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/?model=SGH-I747&pcode=ATT#firmware
