Apparently I butt dialed the software update to be allowed today and bricked my phone. I fixed it easily with flashtool but I was wondering if there was a way for me to completely disable the notifications to update. I guarantee the notification for me to make a decision to update in 3 minutes came on and I didn't notice it.
It's fixable
I used the XDA App to post this, what did you use?
If you go to settings/about phone/software update
and ignore/decline what it says next, but stay on the screen. Push the menu hard button and then untick automatic update.
Good luck

Hi Peeps,
I initially had some issues with 'accidentally' taking the 1.72 update....since then however I followed the guides to roll back to 1.34 and this worked absolutely fine and have been using my phone with no issues, id also at this stage turned off the auto update feature....its still stock but with root and S-off
Since then id tried to flash the track pad wakeup fix and ended up borking my tackpad LED notification, so I had to do a nand restore (this also worked fine) but then I forgot to again disable the auto update......
Anyways I've now got an 'system update' notification sat menacingly in my notification bar and I cant clear it
I don't like it sat there in case I accidently touch it whilst clearing text notifications etc....any tips.....I daren't press it to check if I can not accept (or cancel) it lol in case it just starts and given how much of a ball ache it will cause.....
I'm pretty sure you can press the notification and then reject the update, I remember member stevie_weivie explaining this ,
Found it

I went to update my PRL and profile this morning after restoring a nandroid after messing up some settings in the phone yesterday, and when I went to update my profile, it updated then gave an emergency call screen?
I know some folks in the FK09 thread have had this issue, but I haven't flashed anything FK09 or FJ10 related on my phone. Anyone know how to fix this?
Didn't you hear, that is the new DHS anti hack software that alerts them of a hack attempt. Its part of the new cyber security bill currently being run thru congress.
And oh Im just messing with ya.

My phone started to experience this problem yesterday. I am 100% stock. Two days ago I restarted my phone and for a brief second saw a message saying updating Android. I looked at the Sprint forums and do not see any discussion about this. I am running FI27.
Same Here

I am currently running EL26 Android 2.3.6 after running FK09 for a bit. I see the same thing. I feel like there is a part of the device that we cannot access. There is no reason that this message should be showing up on android 2.3.6 EL26.
really weird !
It's not a problem its just Sprint making changes on how there network works. Guess you guys missed the Network Vision upgrade they're doing. Things are bound to change. You can OC back to EK30 and It'll still happen. My Evo3D does the same now too.

Ya i saw this a couple days ago! The second Profile update ends it pops up and shuts phone down. Check out the blu kuban thread in general I have a screen shot. It pisses me off! I quickly found a work around from rebooting. I put the samsung task manager on home page. So when this pops up, hit home. Then clear memory, and phone wont reboot. Works like a champ.
Same thing happened on my phone. A emergency countdown appeared on screen. When I clicked the back button, it started to dial 911. Any idea how I can update my profile without dialing 911?

The countdown is until reboot. If you need to make an emergency call, hit the button... Otherwise just reboot and it will be fine.

Thanks for the tip, I didn't want to try it again if it was going to call.
Hey
I did an update from Settings - About - Software Update
to newest Jelly Bean 4.1.4.
And after that it became a bit annoying. It freezes for few seconds before exiting camera; sometimes even gives me error CAMERA FAILURE
+ the received email/sms are FULLY shown in notifications, which i want to move back, as it was (as a small preview of first few words of email/sms)
so is there a possible way of rolling it back, to Android 4.0.4. the one i had before. that was originally installed on it, WITHOUT rooting the phone? (cuz it will kill the guaranty from the seller)
Your best bet is to do a factory reset.

You can Odin back to ics but you'd need to root to stop the update notifications.
hello all
was wondering if anyone as seen this.
When the new update came out for the tmo galaxy s 3 I saw it and held off to make sure I could keep root and triangle away would still work.
in that time the update ready notification went away and has not shown back up.
If i go in and tell the phone to check for updates it just hangs there and gives me no error and no update.
anyway arround that as the update already downloaded previously but was just not yet installed.
I was thinking of just using keys but want to keep rootand don't know if that will have a different way of applying that may make me loose the ability to keep root.
I think it has something to do with the fact that your still rooted. Damage thing happened to me, after I unrooted it worked.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Damage thing? Darn though I still wanted to stay rooted. lol
Wonder if kies will still work ok or not.
Also does anyone know if triangle away works on the new version still?
I have heard mixed things.
Ive searched everywhere and can't seem to find anyone with a solution. Ive found a post with the same problem but no solution.
So yesterday my s3 started having problems waking up. Meaning when I lock it usually you bring up the lock screen by pressing the power button or home button. Problem is when I press either one, screen doesnt come on. The buttons do. If I tap the screen I can hear the ripple effect but the screen doesnt light up. I have to keep locking and unlocking till it finally works. Averege of about 6 tries. When I get a call most of the time the screen doesnt come on either. I can still answer since I know where the slider is. When I do turn it on everything works perfect. No flickering or any other issues. When it boots it works perfect...never fails. Just when I lock it.
I tried restoring already, thinking its a software issue...still does it. What piece of hardware could cause this? I'm stumped. Please any advice would be great.
I'm not rooted and running 4.1.1 oem rogers software.

My guess is that you have something draining all your RAM or being hard on your CPU. When you restored, did you factory reset?
You might have to backup your stuff, factory reset. Test it, if it still does it, bring it up with Rogers for a replacement. If it doesn't, reinstall your stuff until you find the culprit.
You could troubleshoot it also by uninstalling the latest apps you installed.

Like I said...Already did a factory reset. Meaning All apps were gone. Started fresh. Even without going through the first setup (setting up google account etc etc) if I lock the phone its hard to wakeup.
Phone is out of warranty so no go there....
I'm just not understanding what is causing it. I know the screen is fine...buttons are fine...everything points at a software problem. I found a post from a while back where someone was having the same problem....no solution was posted though. I even took the phone apart last night thinking a bad connection or something...disconnected the screen and reconnected it...didn't do anything.
If the screen was going bad wouldn't I have issues all the time? Once I wakeup the phone it works perfect...no flickering or anything. When it boots (which I've done like 30 times between today and yesterday) the screen has come on every single time perfectly fine. Everything tells me it's software related...but after doing a factory reset and running original firmware it seems as though it must be a hardware issue...but which component.
I know the phone wakes up when I press the buttons...I can see the menu and back buttons light up...and if I tap the screen the ripple sound is there...just the screen doesn't wake up....till I try a few more times....very frustrating.
Thanks Again for trying...if anyone has any ideas....greatly appreciated. I'll try and find original Rogers firmware and install with odin...see if that works....

Sounds indeed like software issue. I'm not so sure what would cause it on stock rogers though.
Either way, you can find the stock ROM on sammobile.com or on this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1822308
You'll need Odin to flash it. (It doesn't trigger the flash counter)

Did you buy your phone with a credit card? Some cc's have warranty built in. Mine doubles what the manufacturer offers.
Thanks for the link. I will try it tonight and post the results. Really hoping it works.

I downloaded the newest firmware. 4.1.2 official rogers. Problem persists. Must be a hardware issue. Thing is what could cause this? Is it the screen...is it the gpu? I imagine if its gpu the phone is only good for parts as I imagine its part of the motherboard. Oh well...might be getting the s4 sooner then planned.

If you're down for a little test, you could try with a custom ROM.
Use the link I gave you and flash pre-rooted Rogers' ROM. From there, install TWRP (or cwm) using goomanager (from the Play Store) and flash a custom ROM as per their instructions (Don't forget the Gapps).
Before anything though, make a backup
Never know, might save you some time on that S4.

Thanks. I might try it. Dont think I have too much to lose at this point. I always try and keep my phones nice so that when I get a new one I can sell the old one for good money to help offset the cost. This really messes with that system as the phone isn't worth much now...just bought an extended battery too...was planning to keep it for at least another 6 months.
Sent from my SGH-I747M using xda app-developers app
So just a quick update. For no apparent reason the phone started working fine again. It now turns on and off just fine. I'm not going to mess around with it anymore. That's really bizzare. I'll give it a couple days and will report back if it continuous to work fine or if the problem comes back. Thanks for the input.
