Hi guys,
Got an update that I had an OTA update waiting. This is strange as I'm on I9300XXLH1 which I think is the latest right? Also my phone is rooted so I thought I wouldn't get OTA updates? Was originally a Vodafone branded phone, i applied ROM through Odin.
So i hit update and it downloads (17.61MB), screen comes up with the usual update message and says:
Update details (17.61MB)
Improved stability
and gives me Later and Install options..
Hit install and phone reboots and then seems to go to CWM screen:
"CMM-based recovery v5.5......"
With some options like reboot system now, install Zip, wipe etc...
Down the bottom it has some text about finding and opening package then says it "failed to verify whole-file signature
installation aborted.
I choose reboot and phone boots fine but then I get a blank update box. I hit close and it goes away.
next time i check for updates there it is again.
Any ideas on this?
I believe it is a modem update.

You can't apply it because your rooted. Either update through Kies or download the firmware from sammobile and flash through Odin.
You can also flash the stock recovery back. That'll let the ota go through.

As mentioned if your device is rooted the update will fail. If you are keen to uply that tiny update flash stock rom n check through kies if that update is available. I changed the csc on my device a from AFR to BTU. It wiped everything as I knew that and my device back to stock as well as got the new lh1 modem update. Currently on stock rom will wait until the official release.

I had the same problem, just update it via Kies

Root is not the cause for the failure, not having a stock recovery is.
Also if you use KIES beware that there is a good chance it will wipe your internal SD
Thats not true, neither of the statements you made were true... CWM supports OTA now. And Kies doesn't format your internal card...

Kies has formatted my internel sd every time I have ever used it on the s1, 2 and 3.... so..... what am I doing wrong?
and also it depends what CWM he has installed, if he has Chainfires (from cf-root) then OTA's will fail maybe if he is on Koushes latest build (which he clearly isn't) then it would have worked.
Edit: Chainfire has just informed me that the reason most OTA's fail in CWM is that it has signature verification set to ON (like stock recovery) and as the recovery image signature will not match if you are on a custom recovery the flash then fails.

how's it going guys.
My Fascinate sometimes pops up with a blue/red screen saying that an update is available. Every time when I confirm it, it reboots but says it can't be completed because of an error or something. I rooted the phone, installed ClockworkMod and that's it. Erased all the unnecessary stock apps that comes with the phone. What's the problem?
You erased all the stock apps.
You have CWM.

yes I believe if you are running a rooted rom you cannot receive OTA updates.. however you can still do what was mentioned in the last post and use odin to put froyo on yourself, there's even debloated/deodexed packages so you don't have to do much work removing anything, but of course most of them will root your phone so still no OTA updates

Yeap you will, there is just one problem. Kies is region bound, so where EU gets official ICS update, and you live somewhere in the middle east? You won't get the update till there is an arabic/regional firmware released via kies.

As he said it will be no problem I personally updated to 3.2 while i was rooted with no problems

Only problem is, updating via Kies makes you lose your root.
***EDIT***
Nevermind Thanks... I found a really simple tutorial. Sorry for the dumb question...
Hi,
So I have the Galaxy Tab 10.1 GT-P7500R (R is for Rogers Canada version) and it states that it is a 4G device but NOT LTE - only HSPA+ so not REAL 4G but thats what the box says anyways... Lol.
Can I use this file to root my tab? Do I place the .zip on the root of my SD card and then just flash from STOCK recovery or is this an ODIN file?
Also... Once rooted, how do I get CWM? Do I just need to D/L the Rom Manager app from the market and flash recovery from there?
Please advise and sorry for all the questions. I have rooted my old SGS, my SGSII and my Galaxy Nexus (among others) using different methods and I just want to ensure this is done right the FIRST time with no problems.
Thanks in advance...
I would suggest you do a backup before you flash the recovery, I havent heard many with the Roger's tablet.

I have already successfully rooted and flashed CWM with ROM Manager and everything is working like a charm.
The Rogers version of the tablet is marketed as a 4G (even says so when I have my SIM card in) but it is NOT an LTE device so really it is a GLORIFIED 3G/3.5G device.
I followed all steps I found to root the 3G model and voila... ROOTY TOOTY GOODNESS!!! Lol.
It is quite confusing so I hope a MOD can make a sticky somewhere to keep Rogers Tab owners from flashing the WRONG root files and such.
To flash the rooting file, can I go into recovery then choose update from a file and that's it? Or do I have to go through long tutorials?

Ok, I flashed through stock recovery and everything is working like a charm!

Would you like to share how you rooted? I have a P7500 Swedish version (P7500XWLB1) ; running 3.2 or 3.23 (latest version). I have access to that rom if somethings fail. But SuperOneClick does not work and I just want to be able to rot and unrot. How do I manage that without CM and stuff like that?
I have not found a post or guide to rot and unrot the latest version, most guides are for 3.1, and I also would like to be able to unrot so I can use Kies once it comes.

Hi, does anyone know where the OTA firmware updates are kept on the Galaxy S3?
I had a generic ROM on my phone which had an update which got downloaded. I did install it because the ROM wasn't the one I was after.
After finding the correct ROM and flashing it I see the downloaded update is still waiting to be installed from the previous ROM...
I know I could just wipe my phone but I'd rather not lose all my data at the moment.
This file must be stored somewhere but I can't seem to find it...
Any help would be appreciated

They can download, the only question is weather they can install it or not. As for the OP, give the explorer superuser permissions. That should fix your prob.

Hi,
When I try to update using ota from ics to jb, the download is around 310 mb, (lk1), here is what happens.
Download completes successfully, phone prompts for a reboot and when it boots up, it goes to cwm and shows a prompt to install the zip file. I select yes but the process gets aborted. What's going on? I'm using cwm 6 (updated from the version that comes with cf root using Rom manager)...
Please suggest a fix rather than an alternative like download from kies or flash using Odin. I would like to know what's happening here and why. Is it because of a cwm update?
Any help will be appreciated.

So I did something really really dumb and did the OTA update to 4.3 then tried to "downgrade" to 4.1.x using oden and now I cant use my device. Does anyone have the OTA update for 4.3 available for download that I can try to fix my phone with?!?
go to sammobile. com and download it there.

Downgrading isn't possible. Neither is loading custom recovery. You now have a locked bootloader.

You can not downgrade, and attempts to do so will potentially trip your KNOX counter. At the very least you'll end up soft-bricked and have to do a repair install....of 4.3.

Meat & Potatoes:
I tried ODINing my GN2 back to stock 4.1.2 tonight - I rooted it a couple months ago. Did not install a custom ROM, just rooted (the process also replaced the Recovery).
Tried ODINing back to stock using the files and information found in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2024207
When I run ODIN, it simply fails. Tells me "0 succeeded / 1 failed". Phone still works, I just can't get anywhere in the rolling back to stock bit.
Longer Version:
I've had the phone since the end of January 2013. I rooted it for a couple of reasons, mostly to get rid of bloatware, but also for an app or two that needed root access. I've had zero problems with usability or stability of the device before or since the rooting.
I couldn't tell you which root process I used, but I know it came from an XDA thread, and it automatically replaced the recovery with something touch-based. I'm not sure of the name of the recovery. It did not replace the ROM - I've had less than desirable results from using non-stock ROMs in the past on a handful of other devices, so I wasn't about to risk it.
Since VZW is rolling out the 4.3 update and it looks like a good deal, I want to get my phone back to non-rooted, non-custom-recovery'd state so I can install the update. I'm also doing it because I'm hoping they get the phone up to 4.4 down the line so I can use HCE and GWallet.
Currently, I'm downloading (very slowly, thanks sammobile, for not hosting files on your own servers) the stock VZW 4.3 package from Sammobile.com in hopes I can do something with that and just go straight up from where I am, but I'm not holding my breath since the OTA fails due to the custom recovery.
Any thoughts on what I might try differently to get ODIN to work?
Guys I had the same issue. What I did to resolve my issue is:
1. Get the Verizon upgrade assistance installed on your PC . Here's one from scoobysnack (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=47368638&postcount=7&nocache=1&z=2813086102250963)
2. Boot to download mode
3. plug in USB and wait for the update message on your PC
4. Update should take about 30-40 min depending on your connection speeds.
5. once updated, your phone should boot back to normal, but you will LOSE everything and have to start all over.
Hope this helps.

Google kingo. It's the only root option I'm aware of. You cannot unlock the bootloader and probably never will able again. Yes this means no cwm or twrp.
