[Q] Error when installing update - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4

I was rooted with TWRP. I flashed stock using VRUAMDK_NoWipe.tar. Phone boots and runs fine, but when in stock recovery I see a red triangle in the androids belly, When trying to install the new update, I get a update failed, error 402. Any ideas?

All I know is that you need to be COMPLETELY STOCK. My assumption would be that NoWipe is leaving something behind that may be causing the problem. Otherwise it could be the flash count. I was getting the same problem and didn't want to risk trying triangle away so I called it quits.

I was stock rooted with cwm....I was also getting 402 after using no wipe..I wound up biting the bullet and flashed the full stock kernel...lost all my settings...hooked up the phone to the pc and installed the verizon update program...the new update came down with no problem....I did of course have to re customize my phone..no biggie since im a firm believer that you should do a factory restore after each update anyway

I was completely stock and rooted and updated whole retaining root.

I'm having the same issue. Had the pre-release kernel and stock root just to freeze apps. Got the error on the update so did no wipe which didn't work. Tried doing complete .tar and .pit restore then update and still getting the error. Checked the count in TA and it was at 0. Tried tether update and failed. Now i'm trying the tether repair tool which is currently running.
Forgot i even tried installing just the stock kernel as well with no effect.

Rooting Help trying to avoid bootloop

Hers my dilema, i had 4.1.1 rooted and unlocked and decided to return to stock so I could update to 4.1.2. all went well downgrading to stock but when I got the OTA the phone bootlooped. I could not access the recovery menu to wipe cache (as suggested in a few other post) so I ended up having the download the newest image and flash it to my phone. That worked after using the 16Gb pit file that is here in the forum (it kept failing before trying the pit file). THE QUESTION I have is, how do I root with casual without bootlooping? I tried after getting 4.1.2 installed and it went back into the bootloop. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

OK, how exactly did you get 4.1.2 on your phone? You say that using the very latest version of CASUAL still causes bootloops when trying to unlock?
The obvious thing here is YOU NEVER SHOULD HAVE WENT TO ACCEPT THE OTA.
As it is this is a question better answered by AdamOutler or Droidstyle.

I flashed a stock image that I downloaded from stockimages(or something like that) with odin. That got the phone back up and running with 4.1.2. Once I did that, I figured I was back to stock (no root and no unlock) so I tried to run casual to re-root and unlock and ended up in a boot loop. Since then, I have gotten back to root and unlock but from now on I guess I have to update via the TWRP. Thanks for the obvious suggestion but I figured that since i had flashed back to stock it was ok to accept the ota.......I was assuming that I could get full access by running casual. From now on, I will leave well enough alone.

The more updates Verizon pushes the tighter they luck the phone down trying to deal up all the holes our exploits could use, in turn that makes the exploits more risky and more prone to cause potential trouble.
It is best to just leave everything alone once you get rooted and unlocked and just flash the updates via TWRP/CWM, there is no real reason or advantage to updating the normal way. It does nothing different than flashing the ROM in recovery and has no advantages and a huge amount of risk.
It may be that the Odin flashable ROM you got was missing something or was wonky in some way since it didn't come from XDA. It shouldn't have reacted that way if you were using the most up to date version of CASUAL.

I used Odin to get the phone back to stock (vramc3). I tried it on two computers and eventually got it to rum when using the 16 GB .pit file that can be found on this forum. That got me back to stock. I then used casual to re-root and unlock. The thing I have learned is that once twrp is intalled, I only need to download a ROM based on the Verizon stock (unless you want custom) and flash it through twrp. NOT WHAT I INITIALLY DID. I flashed back to stock and accepted an ota which didn't work out well. Took me 5 hours of downloading and trying to get the phone flashed. Good luck. The first thing I would try is downloading the beanstown vzw stock ROM and flash it with the .pit file.

Thanks man, **** I just went through all this bs and finally got mine last night but then I tried to do casual and something went wrong and now I am back in the loop and I don't know if i should just flash the same I did just last night to get it back or what? Thank you though I really appreciate your help
I would try casual agai if you can get into download mode (power + vol dn+ home). If that doesn't work I'd try reflashing. Good luck.

I can get in download mode but the problem seems to be the adb, and since i can't get in the phone to turn it on casual never picks up the device, for all I know?

Check the drivers to make sure the CASUAL driver isn't the one in use.

[Q] Cant install update

I was rooted so I flashed stock ROM and recovery but still the update is failing when trying to install....any Idea of what I would have to do to get completely back to stock and install the update?
I would way +/- with updating at this point. It looks like the new update is blocking the previous rooting exploit.
Overall though, in order to get the update its my understanding you need to be in stock recovery
Flash-oholic on my SCH-I545
Be glad you can't take the update. The ota licks down the bootloader so the Motochopper want give u root.

If you use the kies program from Samsung you can flash it back to the original firmware. In the tools menu there's an emergency recovery option.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using xda app-developers app
Same problem here. Getting error 402 trying to OTA update.
Emergency Firmware Recovery in Kies requires a "recovery code from the previous PC".
I had a custom recovery before flashing the stock image. Should I need to flash the stock recovery in addition to the stock rom?
You would have lost root anyway..
Sent from my SCH-I545 using xda premium
I was able to do it through VZW software, regretting it lol I was hoping more bugs were fixed
Yes, I was only able to update using USB via Kies. Something still seems off, as wiping cache in recovery gives an error and reboots.
I haven't been able to update and have given up for now. I did two factory resets, and used Odin to flash back to stock twice, both without any luck. I went ahead and just set everything back up the way it was for now.

New ota 531.11

Well last night I got the new it's 531.11
It download and try to install. It fail since I'm on custom recovery but stock rooted Rom.
I remember last time I just installed the other ota via clockworks.
But this in keeps stopping.
Is there a way to unpack it and repack it to use?
Or must I load stock recovery, flash then re root?

yea wish there was a fix i have no clue why it keeps doing this. The .8 update hung but rebooting fix it. but this one just keeps giving the triangle and not sure how to fix it.
Found the FIX
So found out if you hit vol + and power it will bring up the menu for the stock recovery.
I flash the update using that and came up with and error and red triangle.
It said that tmobile iq was missing and it was trying to patch it.
Which is probably why it stops and throws the Red error.
I added it back to my /system/app/ and it fix it but then came up with another error about another missing app. (i debloated the rom and deleted all the crap)
I added back all the stock boat ware files from Nocturnal_1.27.531.7_Odex_TmoStock rom
Then try to flash 531.11 but came up with some errors for some mix match odex files.
So flash the update 531.8
hangs on running bug_fix1 tool but just reboot phone with vol - and power
try to flash again and it . It finally flash and ended up with a fresh copy of 531.8
So now since all those files are there i flash the 531.11
Went throught withotu problems. Reboot on its own a few times tho.
once it loaded it came up and told me to update the camera and i did so.
I didnt have to re root but probably because i have super su set to stay with ota updates. I did flash back cwmod
Headache and a lot of rebooting lol but i guess its just how it works. The script is written to abort if it doesnt find or is a mix match ver of the file its trying to patch.
look on my signature, made a fresh stock odex rom, nothing added.. not rooted rom,
if u want root, just flash the SU and download from the google playstore busybox 9.6.
no files are added or taken out.

[Q] confused to no end, once i get this this going i am not messing with it

Breakdown:
Was rooted with twrp recover running jellywizmj9
Accidently installed ota 4.3 firmware and got stuck in a bootloop
I managed somehow to the other day to install the stock rom that was rooted but then attempted to unlock the bootloader so I could reinstall trwp and custom roms again. This is were things fell apart.
Prior to trying to unlock the bootloader I had the following on the phone (trying to recall exactly from memory) Android version 4.1.1 and baseband vraljb
Using odn3 v3.07
I have flashed the pit file successfully
I have flashed root66_vzw_stock_system.tar.md5 successfully
---- still locked on boot screen
VRALJB fails in sboot.in
And WAMC3 says its unsupported version
In my oden mode the screen says:
Product name: sch-i605
Custom binary downloads: no
Current binary: Samsung official
System status: custom
Know warranty void: 0
RP swrev: A2
I have tried removing the sim card and sd card resetting phone I think I tried it all.
Right now I will settle for a functioning phone. Rooted or unrooted, bootloader or not. I just want my phone functioning again.
ok here is a solution that i found on xda. since i downloaded 4.3 i screwed myself until someone comes up with an unlocker for bootloader. I had to install vzwemj9. the phone is now working and is rooted still.
With this being said with the phone being rooted is there any way outside of the bootloader to install custom roms?

If you used ODIN to restore to stock 4.3 MJ9, then I'm confused how you're still rooted. Did you root it with saferoot?
If it's rooted, you should be able to flash custom ROM's with safestrap. Check it this thread on Safestrap..... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=51616723

Yep. You should be able to root 4.3 MJ9 with saferoot. Here's the link to saferoot-- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=48392009. If you have data and apps leftover from before you restored, it sounds like everything might not have got wiped with the factory restore. Did you use Droidstyle's guide to restore? You might see if a factory reset from within the settings of the stock ROM would wipe everything.... and you could also try to do another Odin restore.

It sounds like you took the OTA update to the recent 4.3 VRUAND3 build, which doesn't work with saferoot. Others have had success using ODIN to revert back to 4.3 VRUEMJ9. You can use Droidstyle's guide to restore back to factory stock MJ9.... from there, you should be able to use saferoot on MJ9 to get root access.

Can Root

I was rooted and all the fun stuff until I took the OTA. I used Odin and went back, used saferoot and just stayed rooted for a bit without putting a custom rom on. I didn't upload any roms. I was tired of getting the update notification and tried to get safestrap on to install a custom rom, but it wouldn't install. I then tried to use Odin to go back to stock and it will say "pass", but the phone is just the same it was before ODIN. I've tried even re-downloading all the programs, but it has no effect on the phone. No matter what I try, it doesn't effect the phone. It comes out the same way.

Your question makes no sense. What are you trying to accomplish?
My goal was to install a custom Rom (Trents).
I was rooted (with saferoot), I went to install safestrap, and that's when it all went bad. I lost root, so I tried to use Odin to format back to stock, it (odin) says it passes, but when it reboots, I am not rooted and nothing was formatted. All my screens are the same, no data is missing. It's like Odin can't re-format the phone.

Some how I got the 4.3 OTA. I don't remember accepting it, because I made the mistake of accepting the OTA a time or two before that one. That would explain why nothing is working.

Are you using 4.3 to Odin back? If not that is the first mistake.
Let us know, bc If you are using 4.3 to Odin back it sounds like your partitions might be a little messed up if Odin says "pass" but does not wipe the phone completely..
