hey. i resently updated my phones rom to Dragon ICS V3.3.2. since i have updated it each time i try to use flash on a webpage (e.g. 4od) it says "please update to the latest verision of flash. i cannot uninstall flash as it came with the rom and i cant access the flash settings bit.
Can anyone help?
you should open play store and search for flash there. probably it will offer you the update then. it happens sometimes with system apps, like gapps, flash and similar that the play store does not notify you of updates, because of broken market links.

Just bough a china retail GSM RAZR MAXX XT910. Came with Gingebread, updated to ICS 4.0.4, however it was and still is full of useless Chinese apps some of which is can't uninstall. Biggest problem is that I can not get Google Play, no matter what I do, it gets installed but keeps crashing on launch.
I contacted Motorola UK support (I live in UK) and here is the replay I got: "We are sorry to inform you that if your phone is a Chinese unit, it can only load Chinese software and it is not possible to modify it. We would like to advise you against rooting your modifying your device since the warranty would be voided."
So since there is no official way to get UK stock ICS I decided to root and install custom ROM/stock UK ROM, but to no avail. The phone fails to root and I have tried many different softwares. I am about to try Matt's razr utility.
I'm not sure that it will work and if it does, what is the specific process here? What do I do after rooting the phone?
Has anyone else had similar problems? Found a way to successfully root their china retail?
Thanks
Don't try Matts Utility,It's for XT912 From Verizon if I'm not wrong.
It seems like you have upgraded to an ICS Leak and not the official ICS.
Official ICS includes gapps (Google Apps,and yes Google Play is among them,without gapps Google play wont run).
So you got 2 options from here on:
1.Install the original ICS from China (Fastboot file flashing)
2.Root your rom,install some custom recover (like BootMenu,Bootstrap or CWM),and flash gapps from there.
Edit:
Here are the Fastboot files:

Click the thanks button if i helped .
IS that possible? I upgraded from the settings, about phone, software update, so I thought it would be official. I'm going to try installing the fastboot files you linked, it doesn't require root, does it? If this doesn't work, i'll post.
Thanks

i'd say, stay with chinese ICS, it's great.
root it, install a custom recovery (bootmenu or CWM).
download GAPPS package here, and install it through custom recovery.
and you can use titanium backup to unistall unneeded chinese apps

I'm having problems rooting the phone, and the link above doesn't even open. Is it the 1.8 matt's razr utility?
How do install the GAPPS? Not sure what custom recovery means... I can get google play, install it right now it just crashes after launch. WIll it work if the phone is rooted?
Another question: How to check for root? I know this is a stupid question but I used eternity project rooting tool and it said the phone is rooted, but when I turn it off, go into fastboot, is says: Device is locked. Does it mean it's not rooted?
Thanks
I managed to flash the stock ICS and root, now I need to install custom recovery to install Gapps. This is where my problem is, no matter what I try (bootmenu, CWM, etc, the phone only boots into stock android recovery (<3e>). Any way around this?
If you are using bootmenu, just use its widget to reboot into custom recovery.

Can you link a download of the bootmenu apk? I can't get it from play store since it's not installed which is rather ironic because I need bootmenu to install it...
Ah, yeah...
Try ask Whirleyes in his bootmenu thread. I'm sure he'll help.
Ok, installed BootMenu apk, now trying to download BootMenu Package but it stops after about 60% with an corrupted file error...
What to do?
Ok, disregard the previous post, solved everything, got the Chinese ICS, installed GAPPS using bootmenu, works perfectly.
Thanks for the help
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

To add... enable ota updates using AIO. Then install ota. Then root using new ics root method.
Thanks

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.

The R5? It is pretty awesome. Better than R1A's worth the region change for me

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.
hello everyone
yesterday i had a boot loop at startup in which the samsung kept looping and restarting and phone didnt startup into the software so i tried clearing the cache and format factory setting from recovery mode but didnt work so at the end i had to use odin and use a file .tar that i had when i bought the phone which had to be android v4.0.4 that had prepared incase i needed it urgently
everything went up right with odin and the samsung galaxy s3 I9300 is working fine
howeever i went into software update and i downloaded a 380mb file from the buildin software update function in the phone after completing the download i had a message which is something like this "download has failed try downloading and installing from setting<about<softwareupdate(which i used this way) or try using samsung kies on your PC to update"
now guys i went to samsung kies, i have a good internet its not a bad one.. however the samsung kies app is taking so long i mean it was on 10% for about 50mins or 1h.. so i decided to stop it and now i came here to ask you!! is there a way i can do to update the software manually!!! through downloading like a 500mb or 800mb file and using mobile odin or rom toolbox or anything that can help me update however apps get updated and changed so i dont know which app is working or not and where to be headed so please give me advice on how i can update it!!
2nd question , incase it can't be updated unless using this 2 ways the buildin software update or samsung kies!! is there a way to disable the software update notification that keeps poping up and automatically downloading the new android version!!!!
the reason i want to do so is that i already flashed the v4.0.4 android which i already has on my pc and i wanted to use my phone urgently so i didnt have the time to download a newer version and flash it therefore i am currently using the phone and have already apps and info that dont want to be deleted when flashing it again so i want to update it only!
thanks
download the firmware from sammobile website and flash using odin
2nd question, just ignore it
so this flashing through odin!! will it only update it to the newer version that am installing or will it delete all the apps and contents i have currently after installing the older version??

Hey guys,
I have my tablet since one week. I love it, all works fine, Xposed offers me OBB move and so on. But now I have a question:
How can I get the new Updates for my Tablet with ROOT/TWRP?I know OTA can't be updated due to TWRP, but is there any way to flash updates dirty?! (like with LineageOS, OxygenOS, ... )
At the moment, if I try to search for new updates, I get following message:
The operating system on your device hase been modified in an unauthorised way. Try downloading softwar updates using Smart Switch on PC or visit a customer service centre.
Maybe someone got an early version of the Tab S3 with early factory Android and can give some enlightenment.
Greetz,
CM
First, this should be posted in the q&a section. You're going to have to flash the upgrade firmware tar in odin. Then re-set up your device and re-root. It's a pita. Google has gotten better at saving your apps and data, which helps, or use something like titanium backup
isn't it enough flashing stock recovery and uninstall supersu via app?
I've been away from Samsung devices for awhile, I've been using Nexus but just got a tab3. I haven't tried this but it's possible that you could flash the update.zip that would be pushed to your device using flashfire. You would probably also be able to retain root and TWRP. Maybe someone with more recent samsung use could confirm that. However, based on the message you're getting the update looks like it won't be pushed to your device. And afik samsung doesn't publish the ota, only the full firmware so someone here would have to capture the ota and post it. Whenever samsung gets around to providing an update we can play around with it and see.
PS, do you have a flashable copy of the stock recovery?
I just got a new chinese phone but unfortunately it doesn't come with google play store installed...so i tried rooting it with most one-click app and even with their pc versions but all to no avail...i've searched down the web for a custom recovery image or even a stock rom version with playstore....i also tried installing gms package via accessibilities without success..am kinda stuck any help??
