system update question?? - Samsung Galaxy Mega

Sorry for the noob question but I recently rooted my mega i9152 and installed twrp recovery now when I go into setting check for system update nothing happens is it because of root?? I unrooted my phone and tried it again but still nothing happened any feedback would be greatly appreciated!!

You will have to wait. The systme update was announced like 15 mins ago but different regions will get it first.

Im 90% sure that you can't update it when your rooted. You will have to unroot.

Unroot won't help cause phone remembers that phone has been rooted before. You must reflash stock rom through odin.

Sorry I accidentally worded my awnser wrong lol. You will have to flash stock firmware to be able to update. I did it with my Mega and I still got updates.

Is there a tutorial on how to root G-Tab 10.1 3G with Honeycomb 3.2?

I did google that and all tutorials I found were for the WiFi version. I have honeycomb 3.2 installed. I have another question, after rooting, will I still be able to get notified of new official updates through Kies?
Thanks in advance!

Flash via CWM. Also why Kies? Kies is horrible, very poor support from Kies.

DOUBLE DITTOS! :thumbup: Couldn't be more correct!
If you can read this it was sent using my GT-P7510.
Is there a different rooting file for the 3G version? Could you please provide a link for the rooting and unrooting files?
Thanks!
No, it's all the same. File is attached.
Thanks a lot!
I must have CWM recovery installed, or I can do it over stock recovery?

No. Stock only accepts Google signed files. Rooting is not part of Googles "master plan"
Thanks a lot!
I did root my phone without cwm recovery.

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.

S2 won't update via ota

Hello. My friend is trying to update from 2.3.5 to ics. It downloads it trough ota and then reboots to install. Then at 10% it just restarts and nothing updated. So we tried with Kies.
Still didn't work, so we did a factory reset and tried again. Same problem..
Any tips?

OTA Update Issue

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
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda premium
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.

LOL I forgot to put the Model number. It's the I527 and I haven't found it anywhere on Samsung's website.
All they have is the I527M but I suspect that would be close enough http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=SGH-I527M

See, mine is rooted. Everything was working fine, but I deleted some stuff out of the system apps and then added some other stuff. Nobody can come up with the firmware i need to flash in Odin just yet. I'm going to send mine back tomorrow if nobody can help me out.

With the info you have given..........
Are the drivers installed on computer?
Are you running as administrator?
Which version of Odin?
My guess is the 2nd one. Super easy to miss.

There was a time or two where my drivers would not install. But I disconnect and reconnect or returned to stock and connect to computer and they would install.
2.3.6 ??? You should have upgrade to JB
