I got notified with one and I dont want to update anything in fear of it killing the good wifi calling I get with the phone now.
I can only postpone it for 1 day , and I have to keep doing that every day. Is there a way to completely stop it
Download titanium backup from playstore and then freeze Device manager.

You'd have to get root access first, if you're not yet rooted.

Then you can try this. Root the phone. Then freeze it, then unroot the phone again. By using many of our unroot programs such as Unlock Root from here : http://www.androidauthority.com/how-to-root-any-android-device-using-unlock-root-41984/
My dad wanted me to unroot his phone. I went through the unrooting process using Odin and it seems to have unrooted it but all he gets is force closes. Every 5 seconds hr gets FC's for the gapps, calendar and others and it won't load his keyboard or bring up the dial pad. Anyone have this problem? BTW I tried to reroot and it failed so I tried unroot one more time and it did the same exact thing.
Go into recovery and wipe cache and dalvik, see if that works.
Not sure what method you used. But if you use sfhub's one click root (no data; to preserve data). To re root and 'clean up' whatever other issues you are having. Then use HIS Autoroot to remove root it should work.

Anyone have any issues migrating apps from a My touch 4g (not slide) To a SGS3? I only ask because I'm picking up a new SGS3 today, and that I root the phone, and install my titanium backup from the app store, will it allow me to move the files from my sd card to my new device? Has anyone done this and succeeded? Is there a HAL system with android phones? Or will I have to download all the apps again? Thanks

It depends what your migrating. System apps are iffy. Also if you haven't purchased titanium yet I would recommend ROM toolbox pro... its superior

I had some issues with a handful of user apps. But through titanium (it's an option) made a zip that I flashed and tada done. :thumbup:
Where is the option for a zip? Are you talking about in the backup options to make an update, titanium zip for recovery? Which will install titanium backup and the apps?

Rom Toolbox pro has all the features of titanium backup and more..its' like a packaged deal in one. It backs up apps, allows extraction from Nandroid backups, has Root explorer, terminal emulator, Ad Blocker, build.prop settings, change fonts, CPU control, Autorun Manager, & many more apps.
I also heard that if you root the SGS3 it voids the warranty? Or is that when you change the bootloader to CWM? Any thoughts?

Lol when you root any phone it voids the warranty. So if you need to cash in on warranty then reset flash counter and Odin to stock after wiping and formatting.

Is there a link or some way I can unroot my phone via update or similar, so if anything happens to my phone i can return it?
Thanks

Yeah I was trying to explain that you first need to reset the flash counter, and you use triangleaway to do this, then you need to format your phone, and then you need to Odin to stock. There are plenty of guides and manuals on how you can do this, just a Google search resetting flash counter

Hey guys, and so you know, I have rooted my vibrant, but i just have a few questions i could not find the answer to,weirdly
1. Factory unlock needed? Is there a different root procedure ( wouldnt be suprised)
2. The possibility of hardbricking, high or low.
3. Can I restore a backup of a different version of android if possible, and do i just need to wipe cache etc to flash the same version of android.
Thanks in advanced and sorry if this is noobish, just dont really have a lot of time due to school.

1. Factory unlock...? The easiest way (at least for me) was using Odin to inject root into stock ROM.
2. As with any tinkering/modding with any Android device, there is always a risk of hard bricking, but if you follow the procedures carefully, you shouldn't run into any issues.
3. Not sure what you really mean, but as i always say, it's always best to flash fresh (full wipe)
hope this helps, good luck!
1) unlock not needed but if you want u can do it for free; check general section
2) less possibility of hard bricking unless u flash rom for different phone ; dont forget to backup imei number ; high possibility of loosing it.
3) restore from diffwrent version highly not recommend if you want bug free phone.
And that is how you turn you're soon to be rooted phone into a rocket ship with fireworks coming out of it!
With rainbow sprinkles!

And also, i want confirm because my friend said clockwork will be wiped after first reboot after using, is this true? Or does is stay for as long as you wish.

Umm, the clockwork recovery? It stays forever.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Hey man. Welcome over to this side of the fence.
The Recovery gets saved into the recovery partition and will stay until you switch it out with another (TWRP) or stock. So that is a non-issue.
Being a fellow ex-Vibe user, I understand your questions. Same as the Vibrant you can flash/restore laterally and not have any issues as long as you wipe, reset, usual stuff. But also same as the Vibrant, you should not go from ICS to JB or JB 4.2 and back without a clean install (can always upgrade but going back is where issues come into play). And by clean install I mean Odin to reset the proper partitions. That is another thing. You should probably update your Odin. There is a thread around here with it or just get your Google on.
If you are on stock TWiz, you can use (your recently updated) Odin to flash mrRobinson's Root66 and it will be stock ROM but with Root. Way easier than the Update.zip scene we had on the Vibrant.
Another thing is that the internal is set up differently. The internal is set up as a /data/media partition. This means that if you Factory Reset with the Stock recovery, you will effectively wipe your whole internal SD. However, if you use CWR or TWRP, they won't wipe your internal SD unless you Format Data. I learned that the hard way on my tablet about a year ago.
Good luck

clockwork will stay forever unless you ODIN back to stock, which will replace clockwork with the stock recovery
WOODY! Glad to see you here. I missed your advice. Anyway, thanks for everything and i may root soon.

Im also new looking to root, will rooting wipe everything in my internal? pix, vids, songs, sms etc? Sorry not exactly clear on the root process for this phone, also had vibrant (easiest way to root ever) and sensation (not hard either). But this is kind of confusing like I have to flash a fw thru odin that already has root?

Its not the only way to root it, but if you do it that way you won't lose things in your SD anyway, only your data like apps and stuff.. An easier way is to just flash clockwork mod and flash superuser which will give you root, it will however trip your flash counter.. I've done it both ways

will flashing cwm recovery then su then using triangleaway to reset meter be good? As in my counter will be back to where it is right now?

Technically yes, but if you go that route I would stay away from resetting it unless you really need to

Hey this is my first time posting on xda but I've looked at this site many times for help with my phone. This is my first android phone and I'd like to root it. I've seen guides on how to root this phone but when I first got my phone I unlocked the bootloader but I left it unrooted for whatever reason.
My question is since I have an unlocked bootloader will I lose any data when I root my phone? Ultimately my goal will be to upgrade to android 4.3 since verizon is so slow with the updates. Will either rooting it or flashing it to 4.3 make me lose data? Thanks in advance
You will only lose applications and application data. Anything in /sdcard will remain intact unless you manually delete that under twrp or cwm

thanks for the quick response. Is there any way to back all that up without being rooted?
I misinformed you. Rooting in itself will not touch your data or system data. Flashing an already rooted ROM will simply because you have to wipe the system partition
