I just got the notification for it, but I don't want to risk anything. Is it good to go?
no, before this gets moved, not good to go. don't flash it. you will lose root
seems like you will lose the root...
but some have posted that even after the ota update... the current root process will still work.
Strange. Thanks, guys.
You'd loose your root.

I rooted did OTA and still seemed to have root access. Just re-rooted and it seems cool flashing stock rom in a second I guess to confirm
Ok I didnt flash a rom but it is letting me do data wipes and all other functions it seems cool!
Flipz confirmed my successful Re-root looks like OTA is safe!
I rooted mine BEFORE the OTA upgrade.. and it stayed rooted after.. -m
I'm not taking any chances. The other dev team is supposed to release their root and it may be more complete than what we have now. No reason to take a chance on an update that isn't totally critical.
I just tried it.. it appears to fail, reboots, and you're still on 1.32.651.1.

It's supposed to fix the read/write permissions glitch with the MicroSD card.

Let me correct this.. The OTA update did not work.. (I stayed at the old software version after trying to apply it.. but root stayed around..)
NOW has anyone managed to place the SD card fix on here manually?
-mark
Yes please. Just update.zip that goodness please. I am sure a complete SuperFresh Rom is on its way.
Well i guess I got this all backwards
I didnt know any better when I got the phone in the store, and I did the update...
then decided to root it.... did the process....
it worked.... but then I had the insufficient permissions on the SD card issue...
after reading a bunch of yea's and nay's on OTA update
I finally made the decision to just due the OTA update cuz I that SD card issue really bugged me...
I did the OTA update, the phone did this funny thing where its showing a green progress bar and then in the middle of it, a red question mark pops up as if it were saying " what the hell is this??" lol
it rebooted... and phone came back online, and now my SD card isnt having the same issue anymore...
UPDATE: Its back.... so now what do I do? Is there any way I can include all my info and settings and apps in a custom recovery cuz if i have to do this again im gonna freak. lol

your having the same problem as me... the update failed.. which is why were waiting on a way to manually apply the update.
OTA worked perfectly. And I get root access
I still haven't gotten the OTA...no matter how many times I manually "check now" in HTC Software Updates, it does not show up. I don't know why this is happening, it's very odd. I'm waiting for someone to cook the update into a custom, or rather stock, ROM. It's driving me insane at the moment, not to mention a bunch of apps are missing from the market (a whole other issue in it's own right). If anyone has an update.zip I can flash or a way to fix this, please please please let me know. Thanks.
I wasn't getting the OTA notification either until I enabled WiFi, then restarted the phone. Worked perfectly after that. Didn't even have to go to system updates.

Wipe your sd card and start over is usually will fix any weird bugs. Or as stated in the release thread by 100 different people, delete your data.img file, your cache folder, any old folders associated with the old android build. Usually old conflicting files are the culprit.
i delete all the android files but didnt work. will try formatting the sd card tho
ok. so i did task 29 updated my rom. formatted my sd card. downloaded and installed the newest build. and same problem. first boots it loads the top task bar give it a few seconds. vibrates and reboots.
I also had this problem and its super annoying
But I managed to fix it.
What u wanna do is not UPDATE with the MJG start up tool
Just select which Rhodium I have for keymapping and hit run android.
Try that cuhz that fixed mine.
Make sure u do what was mentioned onj the top post to clear the SD card and format it FAT32 LONG VERSION(uncheck quick format)
Keep us updated

You shouldn't need to run the update at all if its a new package that you're using. The zimage/modules update breaks the build currently. (Update in the works). You can still use it to update footfall and initrd.

Hey reef don't know if your aware or not, but i think the reason is that when they use the update app, the modules aren't being extracted properly. i think that's whats causing the system to crash after it boots.
they should be like 876kb or around that and when they use the update app, they are like 6-8Mb in size.

A friend of mine had some problems and asked if I could look into it for him. I've never owned an Incredible so I don't really know much about it. I figured I'd post here and see if you guys can help.
Here's what he sent me:
"So I've got an Incredible and recently its been prompting me to do updates when I'm pretty sure my phone is up to date. So I click update and it says its going to reboot and then never does. So this morning I wake up and its like internal SD card cannot be read or something to that extent. But what's weird is that all my music still works but all my custom ringtones are broke. It's like the 8GB SD card is working, but the internal memory is failing. What do? "

I assume its rooted, thats why the update wont go thru. As for the memory, does a reboot fix it?
Does this user also understand the concept of safely ejecting his phone before removing it from the computer (most importantly after moving, editing, or pasting files)?
Chances are, his sd card and internal memory could use a good 'disc checking' from a windows computer.. Lol

My cousin called me yesterday complaining of the same thing. He stated that he has been recieving OTA updates for the phone on a daily basis lately and since the first update has been getting an internal memory low popup on his Incredible.
His phone is NOT rooted and completely stock with the original SD card. Would like help from anyone else having this issue and knows what the deal is with the multiple OTA's coming in and killing memory.
Okay, here is what needs to happen if you are to get rid of that error..
Go to cyanogenmod and follow the wiki to root and ROM your phone...
Or, do the update...
Now, i would strongly recommend the first choice, as oppose to the second..
The stock software is disgusting.
Rooted cm7 will not only run a lot better for you, but you will be more up to date than the ota update.
You're phone most likely is running out of internal memory, because it is downloading the update and storing it in preparation.
Just do a google search for cyanogenmod, go to their site, click your device, then click the related wiki page..
Follow the instructions and check back here on xda if you have any questions.
Good luck

[Q] S3 device status detected as "modified" after JB update yesterday night.
First let me say that my Galaxy SIII was not rooted before the update. It's been running full stock rom.
I've done the Jelly Bean update yesterday night through Kies while my phone was connected to my computer.
Update was perfect until I tried the software update app to check if there was anything left to install.
At this moment, I had a message telling me that my phone was modified and updates will not work (I don't remember the exact message).
If I go to Settings, About device, Status... Device Status is "modified".
Again, I don't have anything on my phone to root my device.
So what I tried next... removing my microsd card (64GB Sandisk microSDXC) and reboot my phone. Now, Device status is "Normal".
Put it back again... reboot... and Device status is again "modified".
Format the card... reboot... Device status is Normal.
Put everything back (55GB of music only synched through iSyncr wifi with my Mac)... reboot... Device Status "modified".
So it really looks like that the thing that Samsung uses to detect the "modified" state of the phone is broken in some way because it's detecting my media files (mp3 and m4a) as some sort of modification to the phone... this is completely wrong!!
Am I the only one with this problem?
I will try this week to reduce the amount of music file to see if there is anything that broke the detection system... I will report later if I find anything.
By the way, I found a similar thread with a similar problem... but this thread did not offer any solution and it looks like to be close as I cannot add anything to it.
That's very weird because I was rooted using the method in my sig and my device status showed modified as well. I was able to install the update just fine.

I was also able to install the update... the status was "normal" before the update...
the issue I have now is it says "modified" even if I did not modify anything in my phone.
I did the test again this morning... I removed all the music file on my card... device status is back to normal.
It must be one of my music file that triggers this detection... if it's in fact the case, it means that there is a bug in the detection that Samung have implemented.

Yeah, that is very odd. I'd organize all your files on our SD Card into folders and move them to your PC. Then copy one folder at a time over to the SD card and see which one triggers the phone to show a Modified status. Then you can narrow it down from there.

This is so weird, after my OTA completed yesterday I tried to check for updates again and it just told me I was on the latest version. Now when I check it gives me the modified error.
Blargh. Ahh well, It's not like we're going to be seeing another update anytime soon, unless it's a patch.

are you rooted after updating?
maybe you can do like what I've did (remove microsd card), reboot and see if you still have this "modified" status/message.

I suspect that they are checking not just the presence of "rooting" app in the system folder, but also other "rooting" files anywhere else on the phone... I'm sure they do this because just by removing my microsd card, even if the only files present were music and jpg file, the status went from modified to normal.
So a temp unroot might not necessarily fix this problem for you.

Sam here, as far as I can tell it wasn't as a result of the SD card. It was fine when I had stock unrooted Rogers ALH1, but it changed to modified when I flashed the root injected Rogers ALH1 for the no counter trip thread, and it was in ODIN too.

I'm also rooted on the JB update and status shows normal. I'm using supersu but can't find an option to hide. With rooted ics it always showed modified.
I wasn't sure if it was connected to the flash counter in some way since I'm not at 0 anymore but apparently that's not the case.

It's all based upon files in /system ALSO flash counter.
Modified, meh.
Just if you DO NOT root and updated to JB 4.1 and it now shows modified...that's weird.
Yet most of the time when you flash to a rooted version and it says modified thats cause of /system files and flash counter.

I have the same weird problem too. I bought my phone 4-5 days ago from a famous shop. It was totally new and unused, never rooted, never flashed anything, no simlock, no root required app installed AND no sdcard. These days it is mostly Modified, rarely it turns to Normal after restarting the device...
I don't know what was really going on... I removed one song, got the "Normal" status. I removed some other files, got "modified". ReAdd the first file that was removed, got the "Normal" status again.
What I've decided to do is put my memory card in my MacBook Pro. I got an error that the card wasn't readable. My MacBook is supposed to support SDXC standard with and extFAT formated card... so it looks like that my card had a problem. I decided to reformat the card with FAT32 even if SDXC card are supposed to be extFAT. I put the card back into my phone. I synched all music files.... and I got the "normal" status again. I modified my playing list in iTunes... I synched again... status stil shown as "normal".
So I don't know what was the problem exactly... I suppose that the file system on the card was damaged in some way... but I really do not know what caused this problem at first.
Anyway it works fine now... so this is the most important thing.
I will try to make this short and sweet...
"backed up" phone prior to letting Kies update my phone.
apparently everything but my photos/videos was backed up. (stupid me for not double checking that AND the version it was updating to)
updated phone. phone is pretty much useless now. (EVERY SINGLE APP freezes and crashes eventually)
wont connect VIA USB... knows it is connected and so does the computer. computer now refuses to install (it tries) anything involving MTP. all other drivers are installed. Kies can see the device.. tell me how many photos... but by the time I try to transfer anything Kies or the USB app on the phone freezes and crashes.
ive tried everything under the sun that is basic. uninstall drivers.. uninstall kies... reinstall things.. reboot. safe mode... USB debugging.. etc. NOTHING will get my computer to pull the files or the phone to stop crashing the programs.
I NEED to get these photographs from the phone.. there are at least 2k of them.
what are some options I have or things I could try?
and DO NOT say factory reset.. thats not an option until I get desperate.. do that and try some recovery software for photos.
thanks for any help. I have about a week or so to figure this out... so I can return this stupid galaxy express I had to buy just to have a functional phone.

Why dont u just make a nandroid backup and wipe. Then flash the latest stock rom through odin. If that fixes the issue of freezing apps and your mtp problem you can restore the backup and should be straight.

Well to me it sounds like some issue was caused in the upgrade. Are you currently using a custom recovery? I ask because I have a feeling a factory reset will be your fix and with a custom recovery you could backup then wipe so you can troubleshoot w/o losing everything
And in the future once u fix this I recommend Dropbox which will automatically backup all those pictures so u dont have to worry about losing them again. Regardless of what you want to do to fix it we should be able to pull the pics even with mtp being borked

You could try rooting your phone and flashing a recovery. After that, go into the recovery and fix permissions. This won't delete anything and it's worth a shot.

no the phone has nothing special installed. looked into the custom recovery... and its not going to work (at least I dont think) cause I dont have a solid USB connection... as in it does "connect" per se. the phone knows its connected... the computer knows its connected but it doesnt show up as a drive like it used to.
In download mode, you shouldn't have problems like that.
