Just got a GS3 and after I configured it all I received an update msg from the system. It downloaded everything properly but when it rebooted to start installing it gave me that signature fail msg. It won´t update via kies either.
The phone is rooted and it has CWM installed on it.
Any thoughts? I don´t want to install new roms, mods, etc. I just want the phone to be able to get Samsungs´ updates, that´s all.
Here is my data:

As per the exact same question posted hundreds of times .
Root fails OTA upgrades .
Remove root before OTA .
Or try Kies or flash stock rom via Odin .

I´m going to try this: http://rootgalaxys3iii.com/unroot-galaxy-s3-2/ . It seems simple enough. I just hope it won´t root again after reboot.
It didn´t work via kies or rebooting. If I could only know what update it is I could just flash it. I just don´t want to have to flash another rom and have to reconfigure the phone all over again.
Use CHECKFUS .

The developer says it no longer works. I´ve tried it out and it really doesn´t.
When OTA is in progress it downloads the update somewhere, right? Is it possible to unroot using rootkeeper, then download the update and flash it without restarting the phone somehow?
Do you guys think that if I flash to stock kernel it will work? I bought it second hand and I have the feeling this is not a stock kernel.

I would like to upgrade my phone to the official Ice Cream Sandwich update for the UK. I plugged in my Galaxy S2 which is still on the stock rom it came from the shop with. It's a generic unlocked SIM phone. I was greeted with this:

"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
When I click update, I accept the terms and conditions etc and click 'start upgrade', and it starts downloading the firmware upgrade components. Once it is done downloading, it asks for administrator settings. A few seconds later after approving it, it returns to the start page of Kies and then presents me with the exact same prompt as in the picture. This cycle has happened several times now, and I've tried to run Kies with administrator settings which hasn't helped. No changes have happened to my phone at all.
Although I have flashed ROMs onto my old Galaxy S, I would like to avoid using Odin as much as possible for my S2 for various reasons. I haven't even rooted this one and have had no need to do so. If any of you could suggest a way to fix this or something that I've missed so I can update without using Odin I would be very grateful. I suppose if there really is no alternative (Kies being the buggy software that it is) then I will resort to using Odin.
Hopefully this is in the correct section. Thanks.
You might want to blank out your mobile number You wouldnt want to be inundated with unwanted txt's off of strange XDA users
Thanks, didn't notice that
Search for CHECKFUS
Then download that firmware direct and flash via Odin will rule out Kies problems .

Hi guys,
I'm really sorry if a question like this has been answered, but I'll try my best to keep it brief.
So, I got a new blue 16GB SGS3 from Vodafone Australia today, and the stock firmware was a Vodafone branded one.

At the moment, that particular official firmware is not available for download, so I wanted to know how I can make a backup of it so it's like the type you can flash via ODIN.
In other words, I want to save it as a tar.md5 file so I can flash it back to stock in case I have to claim warranty etc. in the future.
Can someone give me a short description as to how this is done, or if possible, just link me to a full How-To thread?
Thanks for your time!
Answer is not before root .
But you can use CHECKFUS to download the original firmware or its update if its on the Samsung Server .
That can be flashed via Odin .
Or you can look for that firmware in the stock rom thread or on sammobile.com .

Thanks for the reply.
As far as I know, my current Vodafone branded firmware is not available at sammobile.com or the Official Firmware thread yet, hence the initial idea of backing up my own one.
Other than doing it AFTER root with something like CWM, is there a way to backup the current kernel?
Thanks
Like this:
Already had P780 4 GB which gone to smoke LINK
I used SLX Rom
Cause i love P780 i purchased it again, but with 8GB. Like stupid i upgrade it to s226 over first WLAN without planing easy root with FAMAROOT.

Hi,
I own an Acer B3-20 tablet with stock firmware, rooted via kingroot and unkingrooted with supersu me pro.
An OTA update came today for my tablet and I did proceed not thinking about the root thing.
The update failed with the file
Code:
/usr/bin/debugd64
found not equal to the one expected. I assume it is the rooting process that changed that file.
No damage was done when I rebooted. All was there.
So I said to me. I am gonna reflash (OS_Acer_AV0L0.B3-A20.RV03RC06.WW.GEN1_A51L_A.zip) the stock firmware from SD Card to get rid of root but when I got into recovery mode (power+ vol up) I discovered that menu in chinese instead of stock recovery. OMG!

Edit: looks a lot like this
I tried again the update after deactivating super su. (unrooting ?). It failed to do the update again but drop me it what seems to be exactly the stock recovery. So I used it to reflash the original firmware provided by Acer for the tablet. hence unrooting completly. and proceed to make the update again which worked this time. :silly:
Did you get the new chinese recovery after the update ? my build is now: Acer_AVOLO_B3-20_RV07RC01_WW_GEN1
How did I get the original stock recovery given I have already reflashed the original firmware and did not get it back (but I applied the OTA update on top of it) ?
What does every line of it mean ? Can somebody translate this menu, please ? the last one is reboot . It's all I manage to get
first highlited line seems some low level stuff and all this does not seem to be the recovery in chinese.
Thanks

Try to repeat the procedure, sometimes it might happen that odin get stuk, restart odin and get back to the download screen on your phone, you should be able to try again. If it keeps happening it might be that is the wrong version for your phone, I would suggest searching the original firmware on SamMobile and use odin to install that back.
Hopefully this helps, I'm no expert, just run into similar problems recently
