One Click root will not install, in need of assistance

Greetings, I have this dilemma. My friend has the Epic 4g which was running froyo 2.2.1 I believe. It also had one click root 2.5 installed but still running on the stock firmware. She asked me to unroot it so she could update to froyo 2.3.5.
She backed up all her information using titanium backup. After updating to 2.3.5 she attempted to restore all of her data but titanium backup said it needed to be rooted in order to restorethe data. I attempted to install the latest one click root but I keep getting this message about adb not working and to try again. I apologize I do not have the device in front of me to tell you exactly what was said. I will attempt to install it later on today. I just seeking advice on any other methods to install one click root?

I'm not for sure the one click root works with 2.3.5 to be honest with u but search the forum for the newest clockworkmod. Should be 5 something and its legit for it... anyone else to chime in and correct me go for it

One click roots do not work on Gingerbread. It would have been easier to flash a GB prerooted ROM while still on Froyo like this one:

Now that she did the OTA you will need to follow this:

Well it looks like my phone is g2g. I updated cwm, the modem, and applied that GPS fix. All the bugs I had with froyo appear to be gone and my phone is working like I think it should have when I first bought it. But I guess that's what you get for going with bleeding edge hardware. Now Ill just what for that cyanogenmod to leave the alpha stages and research some of the other roms. (Or pretend that ICS comes out for the epic haha).
I wonder if sprint will release another update to fix the GPS and any other bugs that are floating around...

No, because the average Epic user on the street thinks their phone works great. I know several. Only us extreme users notice the bugs.

[Q] Juggernaut v3.7 & T-Mobile Updates

I just installed the juggernaut rom by Team Kang on my T989 yesterday. I woke up this morning and found a prompt on my phone for a new update from t-mobile.
I thought I would take a look at it and went with the whole update and all it did was taking me to the recovery screen.
I rebooted and the update notice is still there. What's this about?

You should pull the file and give us the link. That would be helpful!

I'm not really an expert so if you would be kind enough to tell me which file you're talking about.

It's the new Tmobile update to Android 2.3.6. Its the new update with Wifi calling and Gtalk w/ video installed.

The thing is, I restored my phone to stock and didn't get the prompt, but get it if i go back to juggernaut

I'll look up how to pull an update. It's been a while since I last had to do this. Bear with me... It will be just a few minutes. I don't wanna use ODIN for the update if at all possible.

The strange thing is everyone on that ROM seem to be getting the notification. I'm stock and have tried both Kies and manually checking like a madman with no notification whatsoever.

I still have the notification and all it does is send me to the recovery screen.

this worked for me
unroot phone, use kies to update firmware to 2.3.6

There is no 2.3.7 update it was 2.3.6 must be a rom error

I install the Juggernaut 3.7 on my phone on Dec 24 and after reboot I was keep getting same message again and again for the T mobile update what I did is went to the system app and removed the asynchrony.apk and I stop getting that updates message. If I have helped you? Please don't forget to pressThank you button

if you would give me the details i would really appreciate it because i don't know what you mean by "system app" and i have tried a file manager app to look for "asynchrony.apk" and did not find it.

You will need root explorer or ES file manger go to system and in system click on app and in asp you will that file in the bottom and remove and reboot and enjoy.

I tried es explorer and could not find the file. I'm beginning to think i'm going to unroot and then do the process all over again

The biggest news is the LTE stuff. According to analysis at S4GRU, one problem with Sprint's initial rollout of LTE is that the handsets have been programmed to downshift from LTE to EVDO at too high a level of LTE signal strength. Hopefully, this is a fix for that.
This update news really belongs in the XDA Sprint subforum forum, but now that it has been separated out I can't find it.

No go. It boots into CWM, then it fails with a signature validation error.
Gotta wait until I am near the laptop when the phone has a decent charge.
Then flash original non rooted rom, apply firmware, then re root the phone.

if you're on a stock rooted rom then isn't it easier to unroot?

Hey guys. If you root your phone but stay with the original rom can you get the ota updates still?

If you go to the dev section there are a few post showing how to upgrade with root. All I've had to do in the past was:
Madhouze's Instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1747560
copy the file from it's directory to my SD Card (file is in /cache)
boot into CWM
Install ZIP from SDCard
choose zip from SDCard
choose the update.zip file you copied
Install ZIP from SDCard
choose zip from SDCard
select the .zip to add the custom recovery
Install ZIP from SDCard
choose zip from SDCard
select the zip from recovery file
Reboot and enjoy~!
Note: I got these instruction from madhouze's post in the dev section. I did not come up with them, only passing it along for other people to have.
EDIT: Confirmed the method that madhouze posted works. One note though update the SU binary if you are having problems with the root.

havent got it OTA yet in virginia..i'll wait a lil and manually do it if i get to impatient

QBKink77 has uploaded the a video for the new OTA with a DL link in the description. I'm not able to post links yet but if you go to his YouTube channel and just search for LG8.

may i ask what KI is in this? KI – Touch Wiz home has stopped

I'm on the newly released stock rooted lg8 Rom and still don't know how I like it yet..lol

SGH-T999 T-mobile Getting Firmware Update Via KIES

As of right now T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S3 known as SGH-T999UVLEM is upgrading to a newer Version which is SGH-T999UVLH2
I don't think the over the air (OTA) mode is working right now because I did many tries and it keep saying device up to date so if you want to try it us KIES. if you version of KIES is not up to date you will have to update it first then you will be able to upgrade the phone.
it will take about 10 to 15 minutes of your time and it will depend on your connection.
everything like root will be gone after the update. :victory:
ok after you update, you will be able to go back and use the same method you use to to root the older version and install a different boot.
mine is working fine I don't find any problem yet.

changlog
Anyone know what this update is for?

So I guess posting in one wrong section wasn't enough right? Stop trolling and keep this where it belongs in the general section.

this is not any good for us that are rooted and running a customer recovery.

Available for download form here, no Kies necessary.

Just reflash the custom recovery in Odin and flash the root file. Unless you mean not good for those that are running custom ROMs then that's a different story.

do the developers here give the okay to update to this, for those of us who are fully stock and not rooted? will we be able to get root easily still(with the same methods), even after this update?

Good question. I second that.

yes the same method you use to root and install the custom recovery will work with no problem. I am update and back to root

I've done this and after updating to SGH-T999UVLH2 Android File Transfer has stopped working.
KIES still continues to work, however.

That's the Windows 98 diagnostic approach "re-install the OS and see if that fixes it"
Are you saying it works fine for you?

I'm just curious... what are the improvements? I haven't seen that question yet

I hear you, no one is reporting anything about the update and I'm wondering if it's even worth doing. I wouldn't mind updating but sometimes you don't get the results and blind updates makes me wonder anyways.

Just going from memory so may leave something out. Its been mentioned but its scattered due to so many threads about the update.
New kernel, new radio (some report grand improvements), camera updated and has new features, reportedly better stability and battery, brightness slider added to notification window.,....ugh, damn now I'm blanking out on this! I know there's more, just escaping me at the moment. Ill post more when I think of it.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app

FWIW, the Kies update isn't working with Win 8.
it'll install, but will close when you try to run it.

Edit: sorry I got it updated but I'm still trying to get root now and using the tool kit is out dated and I can't seem to find info for it, anyone have a way to root after latest update.
Edit 2, all set. I even foubd a few things I havent seen posted yet. We'll see if it pans out but im good.

[Q] New GS3 - not getting JB update?

Had my GS3 for a few months and it's been great! So I got my GF hooked up with a Sprint GS3 as well (she loves her gadgets, too):good: but it's still on ICS and not getting the JB update from Sprint. What's the issue? Tried the system update/ reboot / etc. Hers is not rooted. How do I get it to prompt her for that update?
Thanks!

Very easy process, go to system settings, click on applications Manager. You will see tabs at the top (download, running, all). Go to the all tab and scroll down to Google service frame work, click on it and on the next screen click on clear data. Go back to system update, this will show you available updates. If you don't see it in first try, do this for few more time and you will get the JB update.

This man speaks the truth. I just did this yesterday and it started the update process on the third try. You may have to try more times than that, though.

Don't accept an OTA if you're rooted. If you're rooted just flash a JB ROM instead. If you accept an OTA with a rooted device you run the chance of losing root.

Provided you have a custom recovery installed (CWM or TWRP) you can accept the OTA update and it will fail because you're not on the stock recovery. Doing this will also help to avoid the repeated OTA notification. :good::good::good:
