Hi, I'm trying to update my s3 from 4.1.2 to 4.3..I was able to download the update ok but when I install it, it only goes to 25% then briefly shows a wee Android guy on his back with a red triangle. Then the phone reboots and I get a message saying that the firmware update has failed.. I've got stock firmware and have never tampered with it using custom firmware or any of that rubbish.. Can anyone help please

Which firmware are you trying to install and how are you trying to install it.
Like I said in my post, I'm on 4.1.2 and am trying to install 4.3..It's an over the air update.
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda app-developers app
A guess you are rooted so OTA as per the faqs and guides has failed .
Use Kies or flash a rom via Odin .
A guess as the OP is lacking information .
But whatever you are posting in the wrong forum if you have an I9305 .
No i am not rooted. As i stated in my op, I am on stock firmware and have never tampered with it... And I do mean NEVER as in not rooted or any other of the goobldegook things that gets spoke in here... Now can anyone tell me how to sort this bug out?

The question about the firmware was not the version I could read that it was what country or carrier specific type UK, (BTU), O2, Vodafone or whatever.
You really need to calm down otherwise you wont get help people will ignore you and the mods will be the one that close your threads and ban you, are you this aggressive towards people you work with.
The less detail you give the less we can get help, so we ask the questions to try and find out exactly what you are wanting to do, just updating 4.1.2 to 4.3 isn't enough on an international forum.
Sorry was seriously stressed at the time. And i took some of these replies to be seriously condescending.
I'm in the uk and using an unbranded s3..I've factory reset the thing and it still has the same error. I also booted it holding the up, home and off button. Then cleared thr cache. Still thr problem remains.

Hi
This has just happened to me today as well. My phone kept getting the you need to wait your turn message and then it finally downloaded today but upon install it got to 27 percent and rebooted back up.
It how says it is the latest version.
I'm also in the UK on Three however my phone is rooted but I did run triangle away to reset the counter and disable supersu first.
It is running stock firmware - JZO54K.I9300XXEMG4
I guess ill install using Kies later. I hope it can install with losing anything? Ill read up later - just driven back from Scotland back to Midlands so a little tired atm

Hi Yellow Yogult
You can get OTA when rooted you just need to ensure your counter is reset and also the status is set back as normal using triangleaway as it describes.
I believe the other guy said earlier that it was his wifes s3 but he has an s4 (or was it the other way round?).
I'm just going to follow the advise to use Kies instead though after a little reading up.

Well. If u are rooted, u can nvr be Official in device status as the phone checks if u are rooted every time u restart. So even if u use triangle away, when u reboot. U are still rooted. So the device status will STILL be MODIFIED. I did it

Not quite true. triangle away has the ability for this reason to reboot and fix the status from modified into normal.

Yeah, as I said previously it worked fine. Downloaded the 4.3 update through OTA however upon install stopped at 27 percent and just rebooted back.
I guess it would just be more sensible just use Kies anyway as it was very easy.

You unfortunately cannot use link2sd with stock ROM
The other thing is that even a swap file is a bad idea on the 5839I
If it is on stock ROM , bricked one already.
Dont think I will worry about it again but you should try root validator instead of
Root checker I think some apps only like superuser and dont always recognize
SuperSU you can get a flashable zip from chainfire's website if the zip at the start
Of thread wont work, easiest way to check for root is probably to try and install
Busybox by the way,
One more thing, there is a file In system/etc that prevents apps to sd by
Deleting the apps to sd files at every reboot, could this be your problem?
Samsung were a bit naughty about things when they set the
firmware up
You can delete it at your own risk, did it myself last time around but to be honest I have some fifty odd
apps installed and after that the phone lacks internal memory anyway, samsung
Havent actually done too bad a job once you get rid of the added bloatware
I hope this info helps, and on stock ROM you also have to reflash CWM everytime you wish to backup or restore through ROM manager,
Good luck sounds like you might just be frustrated over nothing, lets hope so.
Ki113Ro
have realized since last post on this subject that as long as you don't try and instal apps 2sd script you CAN install link2sd and its working i also now realize that current kernel which is called Redbend UA has ext3/ext4 type support and since succesful install of link2sd have freed up maybe 40mb of internal memory.
I also wou.ld recommend Imbawind Adrenaline boost script v3 search xda for link to download. next thing is to deodex ROM so i can apply new jelly bean style i think. I have debranded ROM after CWM backup so can restore if needed .
Thanks to all the developers and people brave enough to risk bricking there devices because of all these people devices are getting better and
thanks to samsung and htc etc for listening to the consumer and making sure the changes others make are streamlined into there ROMs the new galaxy is much quicker than the old one Thank you.
Thanks have to go also to Google and everyone connected with the Android OS
Open source rocks big time.

I use AnTuTu CPU Master free - Simple, good looking and does the job - Also I'd recommend the SiyahKernel, bei GokHanmoral (See his website: here
Download the latest kernel for your ROM, based on if it's Stock, AOSP or AOKP..

The kernel is the "boss" of the OS, which contains all the drivers and commands.
Imagine an OS (Operating System) as a company,
you have following in the OS (company):
the kernel - Boss
the shell - the office/s
the utilities - the outpost/s
The kernel is, like I said, the boss and tells which part of thecompany has to do what, at which point in time.
The shell is the office and calls everyine, making sure everything is going to plan, and delivering commands, from the kernel (boss), to the utilities and externel sources.
The utilities are your main working area, where you can interact actively with the OS and make changes to it, including changes to the UI, settings and apps (programs).
And that's how an operating system works, I hope I broke it down enough, for everyone to understand

Well, the main difference is, that they are practicly ll the same.
What most people understand as "stock" firmware, is AOSP code, released by Google, and then modified by the different manufacturers, to give their devices that typical (i.e.) Samsung look.
AOSP is the stock (unmodified and pure) Android code, that is periodicly released by Google, to maintain Android and the Android Open Source Project (AOSP).
AOKP means Android Open Kang(ed) Project, kanged code is code, taken from source, and modified, to then be made open source again.
If you take what I write/say seriously (Which you should), then "stock" which, by the way, is branded software, is only a kang, of the AOSP code, so each and every one of you, who has left their device stock, with what they got delivered with, is using a kanged Android ROM.
Hope I could help!

Your kernel version is listed in Settings -> About Device
You can download Odin from Sammobile.com/firmware, or buy Mobile Odin from the Play Store.
Mobile Odin has the abilty to auto-detect what sort of tar you want to flash, so you don't have to be an expert in those things to flash a simple kernel

Beware with overclocking, that's actually the only way a software can fry your hardware if something goes wrong.
In this case, the warranty will definitly not work.
Either you have modified your device and won't get OTA, you need to go through odin. I think only rooting allows you to get them through kies though.
OR
you have to (triangle away and) go back to a stock rom and you will have update through OTA

Wrong - Any modification to the device will "tur off" the ability to Update OTA..
You can update via CWM, TWRP, Odin, Mobile Odin, ADB and so.. And waranty will work in some cases, if you have bought your phone in a shop - it won't work, if you have a contract, just send it in and request a new one..

OK let's clarify something, someone here is giving bad advice.
1.) Don't use ROM manager to flash ROMs or anything else, it can cause issues.
Use it to download them but flash them via your recovery (cwm,twrp etc.) Or with mobile Odin.
2.) If you root your device then it will show as system modified and stop you getting OTAs, we don't care about OTAs on xda, we get it here to flash before 99% of people get OTAs.
3.) TL;DR about kernels: they give you control over your hardware, they allow you to overclock your CPU and GPU, undervolt them too. Also with the S3 we can alter the equaliser settings in our audio chip (Wolfson, great hardware)
Don't worry about the rest, research that in your own time, but DO research it.
4.) Triangle away is an app by chain fire that removes the binary flash count in the bootloader. To simplify, Samsung inserted a mechanism besides the system modified one, that registers if we change anything in our system so if we send it back they can know if we tampered with the system.
Triangle away sets it back to zero.

Excerpt from what I said. I'm repeating cause you seem to be a little mind limited...

Either you have modified your device and won't get OTA, you need to go through odin.
OR
you have to (triangle away and) go back to a stock rom and you will have update through OTA

Come on dude, even if you HAVE modified your device, some ROMs still have FOTA enabled, like with Update Me, ROM Manager and kitchen apps, so what you were saying was wrong - I was not insulting anyone, nor am I "Mind limited". Retarded is the word, btw.
You can use Mobile Odin, to go back to stock, but you don't need to, I'm pretty sure, that as long as the counter states the device is running stock firmware, you can still receive FOTAs.. I'm not too sure, though..
P.S. The OP didn't say he's running stock (rooted/modified) firmware, did he?
Btw, wat is OP?? And is it gd for me to flash cm10 or should i just wait for JB 4.2?? if yes, when and where can I find the jb 4.2 file or package (idk wat its called)And wats the difference between using mobile odin and the original odin that i used before to flash jb 4.1.1??

OP is original post, as in first post in a thread.
As for cm10 well you can always flash it if you want to and when/if 4.2 official drops then you can just flash that, you are never stuck on one or the other.
You can download firmwares from samfirmware.com.
You need a PC/laptop to use Odin, mobile Odin is an app on your phone with the same functionality as Odin.
Its really convenient.

Custom ROM != stock ROM when it comes to OTAs, stop trying to cover your tracks by twisting what was said.
On stock and rooted = no OTAs.
Custom ROMs with OTAs means you can get updates of that custom ROM only and they aren't even real OTAs, it just downloads the full firmware as opposed to the deltas.
The jury is still out on whether or not you are "mind limited" or "retarded" as you said yourself.

I got jelly bean about a month ago and install an official one from Samsung kies. today I just want to check any software update for this purpose I go to settings then about device then software update. . but can't check as it shows "your device have been modified so no updates " . .

i have the sam problem. how could you get your phone encrypted?
I just got my new Galaxy S4, and I'm using Titanium Backup to try and restore my text messages from my old phone. In a totally boneheaded move, I accidentally restored the app from my old Motorola phone and not the data! :crying: Can someone PLEASE upload the "Dialer Storage" APK as soon as humanly possible so that I don't have to do a full factory reset?
Thank you!!!
I found a zip of stock APK's (Here). I assumed that Dialer Storage is SecTelephonyProvider.apk based on Google searches, so I copied and replaced both SecTelephonyProvider.apk and SecTelephonyProvider.odex. The issue still persists, and now I'm getting constant "Unfortunately, the process com.android.phone has stopped"!
I have booted into recovery and done a complete factory data reset, but it didn't fix the issue - I'm getting constant "Unfortunately, the process com.android.phone has stopped" and "Unfortunately, Messaging has stopped" errors. What the heck have I done and how can I fix this? ANY HELP WOULD BE APPRECIATED!!! Thank you so much!
This is for development only. You should post this in Q&A section.

I would try to wipe data, system, cache, and dalvik and reinstall the Rom you are using. More than likely the apk you installed isn't correct for the build base of the room you are using

I take it your in MDK? You could always odin back to stock or flash a new rom and see if that fixes the problem. Sounds like you corrupted the build you are on. TBU can destroy systems if not used properly.

and again you did not read the post he had odin'd. it takes you to stock odin me7 tar.. therefore if he used it, assuming he did since he clearly said he did, then he lost ability to have custom recovery because hes now on me7.. i am not being rude.. just letting him know he cant have custom recovery now.. maybe it will prevent him from posting in the dev thread again at some point asking how to flash custom recovery on me7 lol.

not true either.. only way to go back n forth is to use a custom me7 rom. if you odin stock me7 tar you are on me7 just as if you took the OTA. You can root it, but cant get custom recovery. the very first sentence on the me7 thread warns of this that he used...

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.
I posted it in the development forum, with the rest of the stock restore images...

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.

So if I am understanding right I upgraded to 4.3 OTA does this mean I cannot gain root access. I have been trying to root with no luck any help would be great. I'm really hoping I am not stuck now that I updated.

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.
