Software Update Location - Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3

To start off i'm rooted and on MJ4. I downloaded the new update (4.4.2) on accident and i can't get the notification to disappear. Do you guys know where that update is located on the phone? I used root explorer to look for it but couldn't find it. Does anyone know where it's located?

Well if you just want the notification to install gone...long press on it in your notifications it will bring up "App info" then uncheck notifications. And you are good to go.

Does it say a update is ready to download or a update is ready to install?

I believe it said it's ready to install but I got rid of the notification. I'm still trying to locate the file though.

Well if it said it was ready to be download would be why the file isn't there...I personally wouldn't worry about the file to much. If you ever flash a new ROM or move to nab you will more then likely be wiping internal storage and it should be fine at that time when you do. It will be erased.

Cm7 google apps

I installed pre beta 3 and then rom manager said I need to insert an sd card. I have one in so I partitioned it and that fixed it. Then I downloaded and installed gapps using cwn recovery. 4.0.1.4 I think. After that there was nothing new in my app drawer. Am I being stupid idk exactly how everything works yet. Would gapps give me market because that's all I really need.

While I have not installed cm7 on my Atrix, I know that on my nook market doesn't show until you set up your Gmail account. Have you done that yet?
Wipe user data and factory reset then they will show

Go to bootloader then recovery find install zip from SD card go into clockworkmod folder find the zip file for gapps which if I'm correct its called go inside me" or something similar and flash it that way. Sometimes when I'm installing roms for reviews that's how I have to do it

Try what I said. Go into recovery then go to install zip from SD card then find clockwork mod folder it should be in there install the zip from there if all else fails find the market apk online. I suggest 4shared just type in apk. Android market

fixed it you have to manually mount system in cwm.

Did you just come from a 4.1.2 rom? If so use grab a file manager from the market and look under /data/media/.
If you switched to a 4.2 and up rom, you will see /data/media/0(this is your NEW home directory and all your data is hiding in /data/media/.
Simply move everything to /0 and your space will be correct again.
I did a full wipe into 4.3. Will your solution rectify the issue still?
Edit: I deleted the folder because i had no need for anything there. Do i have to Do this everytime i install a 4.2+ rom?

Only if you go back to a 4.1 rom, its a google thing I am not versed enough in, but hopefully it helped you out. You can do some reading up if you so choose. Because 4.2 introduced users, they had to make a change to file structure to support it if I am not mistaken.
Did it fix the issue?
Edit: Which folder did you delete?
Yeah I've noticed it messed where I had to point rom toolbox for backups.
I deleted media folder in data. Rebooted. Reloaded some apps that were affected by it. It seemed to get rid of the files in my 0/Legacy/SD and one more folder, finally freeing up my phone. Thanks for the help!

Hello Sir I'm in the same situation. So all I need to do to get straight is go to data media and delete the media file. Then reboot and I'll be straight.
I'm aware all my pictures and stuff will be gone but that's OK. Will I still have my recovery. If so it would probably be wise to make a nandroid now. Correct. Thank you for any help.

Unable to delete files

As the title states in unable to delete files from my internal memory. I'm not sure if it has to do with trying one of the aosp builds or what. I've checked permissions they are all set correctly and I'm stumped. Anyone else had this issue?

What rom are you running, file manager are you using, are you rooted, do you have recovery, what kernel do you have?
We can help once the additional info is provided.
Plus, this belongs in the Q&A forum.

Try using root explorer or es file manager, granting super user permissions (in es you'll see it on the left tab under the heading "root permissions" with an on/off button) and navigating to your internal. Try moving a file around, or creating a folder. See if you are prompted to mount your internal memory.
If your internal memory is write protected for some reason, you should be able to copy a file to your external storage or computer, but any write operations, including downloading pics from the Internet, downloads from the Play Store, all would fail).
Now try it with the built in file browser that came with the stock rom.
Report back.

I gave up and transferred my backup to the computer then used Odin to restore stock. I rooted and installed recovery again then restored my backup and all is good. I tried everything with ES File Explorer and still same thing. Thanks for the help

That was, unfortunately, the consensus solution. Glad you're back, but real pain it sounds.

Force Delete a file

I have a file in my /data/data folder that is causing a ton of problems and will not delete through root explorer. There is something inside the folder keeping if from deleting. When I restart the phone, the renamed file goes back to the original file name. How can I force delete this file?
its /data/data/com.android.browser
TIA.

Ok,
Giving that a try right now. I never even thought to use TWRP for that. Brilliant. so I get to that spot...and as I type its been on a deleting dialog for a couple of moments, but this is what came up when I selected delete:
"Updating partition details...
E:error opening '/data/data/com.android.browser.
E: Error: Too many open files
Recovery rebooted after about 5 minutes and the file is still there. This file is stubborn. But it has to be the one causing the issues.
BTW, I appreciate your help in this.

Have you tried to format data? In twrp there is an option..

And I've started getting the too many files open error when I went to run a Nandroid backup last night. UGGG!!!
Either:
I'm doing something wrong,
I've got an app that is doing bad things to my phone,
or my phone is giving out.
I wonder if I've just flashed too much.

Got it returned to stock, rooted, updated and backed up all before the first period of Playoff hockey was done. Now to flash the latest N3bula during intermission.
As always, Thanks lacoursiere18. I appreciate it
thanks for the post sucks about this news. You all said you think it is recovery related? and not browser related.

No write access to internal sd (not ext. micro sd)

Hi all Im looking for some assistance with this issue please.
My problem...
no write access to int. sd when I had it prior to installing a modded obb file. (I think)
I can not move any file or folder with any file manager
camera will not store pics to int sd or display any pics in the gallery
No app with a obb file will install from the play store and gives error code (911)
Flashing a stock lollipop tar fails in odin.
What I have tried....
I have restored different 4 back ups. (stock rooted lp. sacs darklord and norma)
I tried to flash lollipop tar in odin and it failed.
I ran a command with a terminal emulator said to fix my situation.
I am currently back on sacs darklord rom via a back up and I can write to int. sd with my laptop.
Idk what command you tried but this helped me in the past with that issue.
JonSCSL said:
Try this go to the playstore and get Terminal Emulator. In Terminal type:
(su)
then grant supersu. Next line type:
(restorecon -Rv /data/media)
It should do the trick it worked for me. And of course type in without brackets.

I hit enter and some text was displayed then I exited out of the terminal emu. and checked to see if it worked, obviously it did not.
I know it sounds to basic but try it again and reboot after typing that again. I've had the issue since 5.0 came to our devices. If i tried to change roms i had to do it or if i changed rom base like cm or tw.
