Trouble Installing T-mobile update on rooted SGS2 - T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989

Having trouble with today's freshly produced update. I'm on factory ROM, so there shouldn't be any trouble, but everytime i hit restart phone it goes into CM manager, I hit reboot and it just reboots with the update still uninstalled =\

I think you need stock recovery to get the update to install. I may be mistaken though.

how do i go to stock recovery? this update thing pops up every hour, it drives me nuts! (even after i hit 1-day).

Download Bloat Freezer from the market and use it to freeze Device Manager....... The notifications will stop.
Or go back to stock.....

Cyanogen mod, cannot get google apps to load

I am loving cyanogen, but I am definitely missing something when I flash google apps. I get to the installation, but when I try to install it always gets interrupted. I try to skip it, but I cannot get back to it later, opening market does not work. How am I supposed to come back to install gapps later?

Re-download the gapps.zip, put it on your SD card, go into cwm > flash gapps.zip > reboot.
It should work. If not, then extract the zip and copy the .apks one-by-one to your SD card, and push them to your system/app. Not sure if that would actually work, but it's possible.
Reflashing doesn't do anything I just tried it again. The only way to get it to try installing again is to wipe data, then I have to sign back in and I get interrupted again. There is a way to cancel it to come back later but when I hit cancel I can't figure out how to come back.

you're making sure to flash the gapps.zip from the cwm recovery, right? it has to be on the root of your sdcard, then boot into recovery and go to "install zip from sdcard" -> "choose zip" -> scroll to gapps.zip
Yep I am doing it that way, just tried again right now and nothing happens on reboot unless I do a factory reset. If I just knew how to come back to it later it would be ok

1. Clear data, dalvik, cache - rinse and repeat 3 times total.
2. Re-odin EH17 stock, found in the dev forum. Let the phone boot to startup.
3. Boot into CWM recovery, flash the GAPPS file.
4. Restart phone - check to see if the flash took.
5. Boot into CWM recovery, clear dalvik, cache 3 times, flash CM7 over EH17 stock...
Let me know if this process works for you.
May or may not work, it would solve the problem temporarily for me but would soon have problems. I shortly moved away from CM7 to Urban Metamorphosis.
OK, thanks I might give that a try, if it was just a temporary fix for you though it will probably only work for a while for me too. Doesn't anyone know how to postpone running it? It says to do so right when the app runs, but no one knows how to do it?
You don't need to flash the GAPPS pack - only if you want to use the market, sync contacts etc. and use voice/maps so on. If you continually cannot get past try ODIN'ing a different modem. EH06 worked much better for me over EH17.
I'm uing eh06 modem. Never went to eh17
Anyways, I downloaded all the gapps from the market one by one. I flashed the zip and they didn't show up so I did it the long way

Sprint last system update not working with calkulins rom

The last system update that came out for the e4t is not properly installing. The last time I attempted to download and install, it rebooted my phone, shower the little android image with a hazard sign in his hand and stayed in that screen for the better part of a hour. I ended up having to pull the battery. The phone booted into rouge recovery, when then allowed a normal boot butI keep getting the download prompt. I have tried to update the profile, but its not working. How can I either get this system update prompt to go away, or install the update? Thanks in advance. Forgive my nubiness

you cannot do the update with any custom rom. just look in the dev section and update it there.
Ok tyvm.

Incorrect "Build Number" in "About Phone" after flash, why?

I had been running SleeperRom, 1.0.04...but switched back to a modded EL30 stock Sprint rom. After first boot it says GINGERBREADEL30, but then within a days use or so eventually switches to "SleeperRom 1.0.04", the rom itself is still the stock sprint, that is none of the modifications you would expect from the sleeperrom...
...after the switch it tells me to update my phone as expected.
Why is this? I've cleared the cache, delvk, etc. reflashed with the sprint mod rom couple times, etc. but this always happens. Is there something else I should have done?
Thanks!
That's odd.... I'm clueless on why but if your not expierencing any problems with this then what's the big deal? Unless of course you plan on taking it into sprint then you could just odin in the stock el30 package by Toadlife...

It's a good point, it doesn't effect anything, its just annoying because it does prompt for the upgrade, although I could fix that quick enough.
I think I need to wipe everything a couple times and just stock it back up, then root and customize.
Sounds like some data didn't get cleared out. Basically an incomplete flash. You will need to Odin a stock ROM to clear this out.

Calm down, you can always download a flashable ROM, place it on your sdcard and flash it through CWM. Everything will be normal.
I'm assuming you can boot into CWM.
You can either try restoring all the stuff you deleted with Titanium or wipe the phone and start over.

@Danial723 How do you do that? Sorry im a noob on this stuff. Do you guys think doing a Reboot Recovery will help? Will the phone be still rooted?

Does anyone know why the GOODBYE screen freezes when restarting and poweing off?(im rooted) My last resort is to go back to stock and start alll over. Im just trying to find out if theres another way around to it. I cant restart or powering off with out doing it manauly by holding the power button for a long time.

Problem with upgrade

So my Ouya tried to upgrade Ota tonight.
I have the exposed ouya mod package installed that should prevent my mods getting overwritten.
The upgrade downloaded and the power went off. I then saw a black screen with the word Ouya and a red exclamation mark. (Is this the original recovery?)
The Ouya rebooted after what seemed like forever and it looks like the update was not achieved as it is trying to update again.
What do I do now?
On the last update a week or so ago I lost root and had to reinstall my mods. I didn't reinstall cwm. Is this why I am having this issue now?
Help please.

Hello,
Test : adb shell recovery --wipe_data and restart the download.
Will I have issues if I reinstall cwm before I let the upgrade try again?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
go ahead and install CWM. that won't affect anything other than the recovery mode.
i guess try to let the ouya update on its own again. if you can't get it to boot, use CWM to sideload the current update. you can get it here.
https://ouyafw.skumler.net.
idk about your custom stuff. might loss it, might not. backing up a stable system in CWM is priceless. do it AS SOON AS you get a stable boot!
that way when you goof up, just restore.
keep us posted.
I reinstalled cwm and then let the update run.
It seemed to fail updating but went through in the end.
