Hi everyone
A few weeks after updating my S2 (O2 UK) to Jellybean and rooting it with Odin, I got a message on the phone about an available update (about 7MB in size).
The message cannot be closed, only postponed by a maximum of 3 hours at a time, so I went ahead and installed it, however after rebooting, I get the message:
"Failed to update firmware, try again using pc software (Kies)"
Then it keeps bringing up the message "Previous update package downloaded", again not letting me close or postpone it by more than 3 hours. When I use Kies, the software tells me:
"Your device's current firmware version is not supported to update firmware via Kies. Current firmware version: PDA:LSN/PHONE:MS2/CSC:LS8(O2U)"
Can anyone suggest a way to either install this update or just get it to stop bugging me? Thanks in advance.
1.flash unbranded rom in odin.
2.root then unistall the update service.

I purchased Titanium Backup pro from the playstore and used it to freeze 2 system apps (see screenshot) for the same reason....

Thanks Keith. Seem strange to have to buy an app just to avoid having to install an incompatible (but insistent) update! So does Titanium Backup pro allow you to interfere with the update's notifications, or does it delete the update files altogether?
As you discovered, the updates are automatically downloaded by the updater app which then tries to install them. TiBu stops the app from searching for the update to start with.....
No search>>no download>>no message about updating or a failed installation.....
TiBu is worth the outlay though....it can be used for way more than just freezing a couple of apps....it is one of, if not THE most useful app that someone running a rooted phone can get......that and a good root explorer app.....
As a 'taster'
Freeze apps
Defrost apps
Delete apps including unwanted system bloatware
Backup apps and data
Restore apps or apps and data or data alone
Batch actions
Re installation of backed up apps without having to re download them from the playstore
Backing up to cloud storage. .....
And plenty of other stuff that I haven't even explored yet.....so as I said. ....one of the most useful apps you can get. .....

Seems strange people think youve got to buy an app to stop it happening when 2 other free methods were listed.........and ignored.
-------------------------------------------
maybe your an iphone expert
------------------------------------------
I don't think anything was ignored....all I did was to suggest a more straightforward alternative (one that didn't involve flashing a new firmware).......
And as far as buying an app to freeze the updater apps.....a little research would inform the OP that there are free alternatives available for this task (system cleanup, system tuner, gemini app manager.......to name 3) my choice is to get a paid app because as I pointed out, the scope of options available within TiBu is superior to that available in the free alternatives. And while flashing an unbranded firmware may in some cases have it's merits. ...in this case, it's not needed as the OP already has the latest carrier specific firmware that he wanted......

I have no clue why or who ever in Samsung development messed this up, but when you stream flash videos in full screen the notification does not auto hide. To me this is completely unacceptable as it ruins the possibility of "full screen" and it can actually damage the oled in these phones.
I think this fix should be a MUST for any developer currently making rooms for this phone. The only from currently that I know of that fixes it is Cyanogen.. but I do want a stable ICS and oh boy can't we all dream of a perfect aosp from... dreams of super fast clean friendly user experience...

And you feel that you can issue demands to the devs because...?? Why are you so special?
Why be a dev if your goal is half ass roms? The only thing I'm wondering is why has this not been addressed by the community? Why is this still "OK" and why are trolls immediately the only ones present in this forum?
There's a Q&A for ya..
Its funny how you think my suggestion is un warranted. I just desperately want to ruin my phone with burn in right?
It's not your suggestion, it's your attitude.

AS said above, it looks like your are running ICS which is in beta and has not been officially released, you are complaining about an unfinished, unofficially released BETA rom.
You may need some time of reflection and a lot of reading to understand what you are doing......
Why be a dev if your goal is half ass roms?
You answer your question yourself why build a rom based on a half assed buggy beta release .
Put in a very simple way . Why waste time on a buggy beta build that may be very different come release day .
When ICS is released and if a dev thinks its worth fixing your problem i am sure they will .
jje
OK it sounds like no one understood , I will attempt to explain this better. This is NOT an ICS problem this problem is with EVERY rom including stock update strait from Kies. I went as far as contacting Samsung to get a fix, but as you can see in my profile I live in the US and the US Samsung will not help me with my UK phone. Why everything between us is so divided beats me but still the issue remains.
As I stated currently the only rom that fixes it is Cyanogen but just as JJ stated why use a buggy beta when the release will be much different/better. Also I am currently running ICS and have not encountered a single bug. Everything works perfect except for Samsung's stupid attempt to burn in my screen. I don't know about everyone else but I paid $580 for this phone and the last thing I want is a permanent" 3g" on my screen...

Then give us more information. Saying that streaming videos don't go full screen is no where near enough. What ROM, website, browser etc are you using because the last time I tried this (Not long after the S2 was released) it worked just fine. I tried a 720p video from megaupload and it went full screen just fine. Same with youtube/youtube app. Give more information, not attitude. Also, i'd wager than there is zero chance of your display burning in a 3G icon. Perhaps the full notification bar if you use MIUI/a white or light theme but I highly doubt the majority of people will experience any burn in, never mind such a small specific burn in.
Fair enough.. more info. I usually run completely stock and decided to play around with ics. A main site I stream with is twitch.TV (I am a big starcraft2 player and use the pro streams to get better) while I'm at work I watch for hours sometimes 7 hours straight. This WILL cause burn in.
When the problem occurs:
Watching ANY true flash video online(not YouTube app) while in full screen mode in any browser or Rom besides cyanogen.
If you don't believe me test it yourself. Go to twitch.TV pick a stream let the video load and click the full screen button. If you have a rom that the notification bar disappears let me know and you won't hear.me "moan" anymore.
Or maybe one of you super nice Brits can call UK Samsung and get an official fix. The number is 08702420303.

Download the diff, check for relevant changes (there's not many for fullscreen) and mod your own browser. Before you ask, I'm not going to hold your hand on this one, and am not willing to do it for you either (I don't use an ICS ROM).
Not asking for any hand holding or hand outs for that matter.. one last question can it be done completely from the phone?
Actually nvm that browser mod will not work with ics. Even states in that post "should be comparable with 2.3.x roms.

Sure it will, you just have to be willing to put in some work. Namely, as I already said, downloading the diff, checking for relevant changes (I think there's only two changes relating to full screen) and getting them into your Browser.apk. You're probably going to need to do some reading.
Judging by this part of your post:

I don't quite understand. You don't have to flash, customize, or tinker with your phone at all. How much time you spend doing this is up to you. The phone works fine out of the box which is what you'll get with iPhone. If you want to get rid of bloat, then root it and remove the stuff you don't want.

Solution might be to find a ROM and stay with it, keep in mind flashing and or using custom ROMs are not for everyone, if you enjoy learning and bettering your knowledge and device well then it's the ticket for you, but if you find things are not working for you and you have hard time understanding, then maybe flashing custom ROMs are not your game...
There is nothing wrong with staying Stock and or Stock straight out of the box, as stated some have found that best for them.
Thank You.

I really don't want to get an iPhone again. I got rid of the 4S 64GB factory unlocked. It's like an ipod with some phone functionality, meaning I cant use it for much. I have Tmobile and this particular phone for various reasons and the root is very necessary.
I would prefer someone help. It's obvious something I'm flashing or how I am flashing it is borking the phones. Most likely the latter.
Wipe cache, wipe system, wipe Dalvik before flashing. Or follow the instructions on the ROM page's first few posts.
Bye crapple

Drama queen. No one told you that you need to flash ROMs. Get the iPhone and please go "complain" on the iPhone forums. Roms are free and devs are taking their "own" time out of their personal lives to make em. If you can't be thankful, you don't deserve to be here.

I got the old one on stock rom stock recovery. Its the same, very unresponsive. It takes 5 minutes just to set the language on the att start screens. The other phone is balking at connections with odin, im trying to put in only a bootloader and its got a green bar but the big area says BOOT is not changing color yet, like its at the last step and it stopped. Its odin 1.85 since the newer ones seemed worse.
edit:
I got the old phone going, I think its fixed! I flashed the stock rom via odin thats on the forums. I used stock recovery to clear a couple caches. Then flashed cwm standard, from march or so, I used it to clear everything possible except sd card which was recently formatted as well but it has roms now. I flashed a nice safe collective mesosphere seraphim ics rom and its snappy and responsive. I think there is something wrong with some newer things, I dont know what, but I had no problems before I started with JB. fyi, bricking two phones is not normal for me.
The new phone wont talk to odin so it'll sit for a minute.
Going no where with this, so...

try samsungdive.com n raise an FIR with police..
Had you set up the tracking with the Samsung app? or maybe with Avast! anitivirus?
If you've not set up any tracking I'm not sure what you can do :crying:
Always first thing.....
1.....alert provider
2......file a report with police
3.....if you haven't enabled tracker that about all you can do unfortunately.
If you had a stock Samsung ROM, you'd have Samsungdive. With that it is possible to locate your phone ANYWHERE in the world, and you could have found it by now.
However, some poop-heads find Samsung Dive and the Samsung Framework are unecessary and remove them from their custom ROMs.
Samsung Dive is one of the most valuable additions to the stock ROMs and one of the TOP 5 reasons I keep my phones with stock ROMs, although rooted.
Another choice is to use apps like "Where's my Droid" (US$ 5), and similar apps, and although they aren't as efficient as Samsung Dive, they can help you locate your phone.
You can try a remote install of plan b - be persistent, it sometimes takes many attempts to get it on your phone.

Samsung Dive is worthless, if someone wants to keep the phone. A 30 seconds Google search shows how to perform a factory reset that erases all SamsungDive configuration. A thief has just to press three keys when booting the phone. It works even when the phone is protected by PIN or something else.

Sorry but if your device has not surfaced within a month, it's very possible that it either does not work anymore (broken, lost and left in rain, ...) or that the thief/finder actually bothered to factory-reset the device (as someone else said... like 5 seconds of work)
As sorry as I am to say it, but I believe you can give up hoping to get it ever back.
This happened to me as well. Unfortunately I was never able to find the phone. Another thing that can be done is try to block IMEI number. However not all carriers want to do this as I lernt. I also send the email to Samsung and ask the if they could add the number to internetional black list but I am not sure they did it. Sorry about your loss. I know how it feels.
Guys just suggest me a new device.Sad as it feels I need u r opinions.

Yet again, I apologize if my issue has already been covered in another thread, but here goes anyway.....
Is there any way to disable to bottom notification-tray or turn it into a separate icon/installed app? The reason I ask, is because it's a constant nuisance the number of times I've inadvertently clicked and opened it whilst in the middle of doing something else, like playing a game or whatever. This can be most annoying if I end up unmounting one of my external SD cards in error or whatever and have to reboot my tablet. I'm sure I'm not the only one this has been an issue for, but I would guess that if there is a solution to this issue, it may be an app that would require ROOT access, but I may be wrong (that happens from time to time <g>).
Any advice or directions would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Can't see any dot there......so maybe it isn't on ICS, worse luck. You know I'd upgrade to Jellybean if only I could get my head together enough to figure out making nvflash backups, and unfortunately, I haven't done that yet. Half the problem is I'm a lazy sod, and having to re-root my Prime after upgrading to Jellybean is another PITA......u know the old saying, if it aint broke......
Any other app you can think of that would work on ICS?
On another note, flump, me old mucker, what are you views on GO Launcher EX? Me, I find it to be less of a memory/resource hog than the stock ICS launcher and is much faster to load, 'not responding' MUCH less.

It has to be enabled in Asus customized settings first.

Nvflash is a 5 minute job. After doing that you do not need to go about installing jellybean and then root etc. You just install Hairybean 2.31 which will bring you up to Android 4.2.2 with root included.
To be honest mate these replies take me far longer than you just doing it so if you want me to talk you thru nvflash and installing the latest Hairybean I would rather do that for you over Gtalk than keep answering. lol
Let me know.

Ok buddy, appreciated, all that you said. I guess I'm just a little nervous about this whole nvflash thing in case I screw it up (I'm not the only one, trust me)
To be perfectly honest and frank, I was thinking of waiting until the official release of JB 4.3 (in October, as far as I know) before updating. What do you think?
I just tried installing GTalk, but it was detected as a virus and wouldn't install......WTF?!?!?!?
A special thanks for the pictorial guidance.....I'll check it out a bit later.
YES! It worked! Cheers bro.

There will not be anymore updates from Asus for the Prime. Jellybean 4.1.1 was the last one.
Hairybean 2.31 (4.2.2) is based off the TF300 rom which they are still updating and has nearly identical hardware to us.
I was not talking about an app for gtalk. You just go to google mail on your PC and then add a person to the chat part in the bottom left.

Don't ask me why and it's not in my usual nature, but this whole nvflash process scares the b'Jesus out of me lol

I am assuming you have to be on the PH1 or lesser version in order for this to work? Your walk through for verizon README says nothing about what your phone should currently be on. There were many users who were unable to downgrade from PHE version (green battery, root block update).
Anyone with a verizon phone want to try this out? =]
EDIT- GOing through some of the files, is this in fact the PHE update modified? If so, there should also be a warning that this will remove root for anyone that had it or did I miss something and the PHE version is now rootable?
I apologize I should have been more clear, this is not for anyone who has the original gray battery, rootable firmware, this is mainly for green batterys that have lost their PACKAGE disabler, so far the firmware takes the splash screen out and the update notification, follow rest of instructions to never worry about forced update to death firmware.....if you have root no obstacle is big to overcome for the sheer capability of being able to write systems files....
oook, so this is in fact for PHE firmwares, just modifies the system apks with the ones you provided and removes the update/flash screen.

My next question would be, since the apps crash out, is it safe to say that something will still be calling for them in the background? Would this cause battery drain, wake locks etc?
Well I say green battery update because it also works on the tmobile AP14 firmware, also it hasn't been tested on VERIZON note 7 but I'm confident that the files will flash because they are signed and they are not images which seem to be the only partitions that don't flash due to an encrypted signature of the bootloader. So when u you install a system app on itself it more accurately corrupts the app and it ceased to function, which is literally what the note7alliances shield app v2 does. I know this because after I stated on their website that installing system apps on top of themselves disables them, they came out with shield v2 the next day and then banned me. Suspicious, but I'm not accusing anyone of anything lol. To answer your question, anytime an app calls on the corrupted app u get a failed app splash message so don't do this corruption to any other app other than the system update apps
Thanks for the post ?
Proud owner of the Samsung Galaxy Note 7 ?. Take that Samsung ???.
I am glad ro hear that there are some workarounds for people who have been victims of the capping firmwares, I am lucky, I am using my green batt icon note 7, charging 100%, as here in Mexico no capping or blocking are being made, I use an always floating batt temp indicator, and it never goes above 4 or 5 degrees above ambiental temperature, I have been using my note 7 for 6 months now!
Anything available for the Canadian variant? W8 model.
Hi everyone. Just curious. I have a Verizon note 7 with green battery icon, working great with package disabler. Since its unlocked I'm using Simple Mobile which uses T-Mobile's network. My question is can I flash the T-Mobile modified firmware here on a Verizon variant to avoid the issues that the Verizon firmware is creating when using T-mobile? I'm assuming it will run smoother this but will the phone safely accept it? Or stick with the Verizon firmware for the Verizon variant?
Good work, but stop with the v2 nonsense

First let me say, good job. Having another method to protect Note 7 users is always a plus and for that I say good job.
I might try this out, and if solid recommend it for users.
Now that part that has been bothering me. Your timeline about you being banned and the Alliance v2 App.
Here you say one day after you told the Alliance that installing system apps on top of themselves you were banned and v2 was released.
On the rebels site you said a week (this screenshot is before you said that and then got in the fight with the one dude and the thread was deleted)

Either way I wish I was that fast of a developer in the conditions I was in. (yes I am the developer of the Alliance Shield v1, v2 and v3).
Shield v2 took a little over two weeks to develop because at the time I was in the desert of California for two months. I am in the Army and my unit was there training. There are plenty of Facebook posts in the Alliance group about my conditions, one bar 3g tethered to a laptop in the back of a truck in a metal box.
Has it ever occurred to you that you though about/discovered the same idea we already had? It is possible, but to say that it was your idea, with no proof is what makes us mad.
Either timeline you want, one day or one week this screenshot from the Shield v2 Repo will prove that we had the idea before you told us as it was in development for 15 days before it was released.
We called this method the Solid Explorer method because that is the name of the App we were using to extract and install the APK's. We are digging for posts but we think we first started talking about it on December 3rd. Once v1 was blocked by Samsung we sprung into action on v2 using that method as it does not depend on Samsung
I don't want this to take away from your work, it is good work. Just tone down the the whole Alliance stole my idea talk. If that is how you felt, you should have contacted us, we are very nice to work with when you approach us. When you go behind our back saying we stole your idea is when we get upset.
EDIT: found it Nov 28 the Solid Explorer method was posted by a Mod for our site

The links in the first post no longer work. @akiraO1 can you please repost these?
Thanks!
Ill get right on It
