[Q] EVO Update Not Working - OTA 3.70.651.1 - Rooted Evo

I am trying to apply to OTA update I got today, but for some reason it crashes half way through un-packaging the installer. Is this because I am rooted? Anyone else having an issue with the update?

What are you using to try to update? You are going to lose root if this is an OTA update.

It just came up on my phone and asked if I wanted to download it. I did, and it ask if I wanted to install. I clicked yes. It rebooted, got 1/4 of the way done with unpacking and froze up. I am guessing that its conflicting with the rooting. So I can't install any updates or I will lose root?
I don't think this update does much to anything I use.

It was mainly radios and and pri update with new software update. And yes you will lose root. You can just install a rom that is based off this ota if you really want it.

I want swype, mainly. I tried to install it from their website, but it says it can't install because its available OTA for EVO.

Then you can just download a rom that has it included and then pull the apk from the rom.

You NEVER want to take an OTA from Sprint if you are rooted. It will cause complications like that which may cause you to have a corrupted ROM. Always update to a ROOTED OTA. Check my stickied post in Q+A at the top. You will find the link to the stock ROOTED 3.70.651.5 version you can update along with any PRI and Radios.

New official update from AT&T!

I've been a long time lurker, first time post.
I have been running the official AT&T ICS release I927UCLH2, and was notified of an update for my phone from Device Management. I am now updated to I927UCLJ3 baseband. To my surprise, my keyboard backlight is now working. So far, everything looks good. There is no sign of this update on the Samsung ICS page. Maybe AT&T is just going to push it out and forgo Kies altogether? Who knows?

I get notified too; however because I have CWM installed, it interrupts the installation and I can't install the update.
Any thoughts on what to do to get it installed?

Seconded here. Do we have to remove CWMR in order to update from the new OTA update?

I just got a software push from AT&T for my Captivate Glide. After the restart, the keyboard lights now work! About phone says: Android v. 4.0.4. Baseband v. I927ULCLJ3. Build number IMM76D. I'll see if other things have been fixed like, ringtones that stop working and clock being x time slow. Both of which required a system restart

I reloaded the stock recovery from my LH2 install and tried the OTA update. It downloads the update but fails to install with an "Update Failed" after the reboot.
I never rooted my phone only installed CWM for the Keyboard fix and to backup with CWM. Wish I had never installed CWM now.

Just got off the phone with AT&T myself, the rep said it should be available on Kies, they want me to try the new firmware before they'll continue warranty procedure on my wife's glide.
Edit: Well it's not, but it should be soon I guess.
Second Edit: On phone with samsung, they say the update is still "on hold" on his system. At&t told me to call them if I needed help with the firmware update.

Thanks for the info. Kies kept crashing on me so could not try it and OTA says I need to way 24hrs to try again.
Will try Kies on a second computer.

Is there any way to reset the 24hour AT&T update time without erasing the data partition?

I was able to flash back to the 4.0.4 default ROM from samfirmware and then disable automatic time update and move my day ahead one.

I might have to try something similar since Kies nows says that "You device does not support upgrading via Kies". Since I did not root my phone it must either not be happy with the flashes I have done to recovery even though I have flashed back to stock recovery or the Keyboard fix I did.
This blows.

does anyone know if i flash with a stock AT&T from sam firmware on a Rogers i927(r) will I be able to update to the new AT&T version on Kies ?

Success!!
Here are my steps:
1. Restore a backup I made with CWMR before when I first installed it before making any mods.
2. Reinstall stock Recovery before doing anything else.
3. Get OTA update even though less than 24 hours since I restored a previous point in time.
Doing the stock ROM was my second choice but since I had a backup at least most of my apps and settings were recovered.
Good luck!

2.3.6 phone says no OTA update. I'll try Kies later.

is there someone who would upload it somehow, so I could flash it via ODIN, or something? I cannot update OTA, cause I live outside the US and at&t doesn't reach this destination. . .

Can somwone post the stock LH2 recovery please?

How do I root this ?? I have CWM installed on it but am not sure where to get a CWM zip to install SU...

I found an odin flashable I927UCLH2.md5 and used it, and when into settings, about phone, software update, and it gave me an update and I'm downloading it right now.
The phone is now at I927UCLJ3. So AT&T can OTA push it instead of trying to force the phone to work with kies

I just reflash the stock rom from google 4.1.2... no changes, no root (yet), just the bl unlocked. and when I push to get the update says that is up to date. :silly: I have to wait for a couple days or I'm doing something wrong?

Go to setting-apps and look for Google Services Framework
Force close it and clear the data. Then check for the update again (it will say you're on the 60s). Keep doing this until the OTA shows up.

well if you have the Latest Philz installed you can make the Back up then figure out how to unroot your phone completely then see if your phone will update and if it does just go back into Philz then re root your phone with the Re-root(SuperSU) option in the Philz Recovery settings then reboot your phone into the rom.....i know as nerds/geeks we want to find another way lol

thanks for helping me
I played around with the phone when I first got it, folks on here gave me steps on rooting and moding the wifi, which was a year ago.
is that an app called philz? if so where do I get it?
does philz run pre boot or while phone is on?
btw I have one of those custom pre boot apps do you need the name of that?

ok the philz install went smoothly
I used odin
strange the update notification is gone so I did a check for update, nothing happens
so I left it rooted till I get the notification again
I did not see on the philz cwm an option to un-root??
I am figuring my next steps will be
get the update message
un-root the phone (these two steps might be reversed un-root then wait for update message)
do update
then re-root with philz
verify my root and verify my sprint hot-spot mod still working if not reapply mod.
let me know if I am missing something, or is there a way to get that update?

I was thinking same thing strange, it was showing that way before I went to philz
that what got me on the need update road. I am thinking could it mean I am hacked or something?
sprint saying they are showing the sph-l710 on there side. Im not sure what is going on. I only mess around with phone when
I need to root which was a year ago, I installed cwm, rooted phone and sprint hot spot mod.
how do I manually install update?
can the philz block update?

well according @bilgerryan just having a custom recovery in general blocks the OTA that you need to be on completely stock to get the OTA

Can stock recovery reflash ota?

When you get and accept the ota update it downloads into your storage, would it be possible to use the stock recovery to find it and reinstall?

Was wondering if I find ota download that I accepted when I updated, can I use that downloaded ota file and use stock recovery to reinstall update.
When you accept ota a file is download into your storage (don't know where ) just wanted to find and reflash.
After ota phone went from great to awesome, but decided to play with smartswitch and reinstall / restore after back up, but after restore I lost the ability to disable tmobile my account app.
After ota I had the ability to disable, after smartswitch no option to disable? ???
Pp. Thanks for input.

Still no answer to my question. ???

Sorry, I must have accidentally marked this as "Read" or something.
To answer the first question: no. Even if you found the OTA update.zip, it's useless once you are already updated. The update.zip files only contain patches for files, and patches for whole partitions. The first thing it does is check to see what version you currently have, and if it doesn't match what it's expecting, it will abort. Past that, even if you fool it somehow, it verifies every single file that it is going to patch. If it finds something it is not expecting, it will abort.
As for disabling the T-Mobile app, I don't really know. I think on 5.0.2 I disabled it, but then I rooted right away and started freezing all the bloat soon after. On 5.1.1 leak, I think I still had that disabled. By the time OF6 came around, I believe it was still disabled. Don't know for sure now, because I'm rooted again and have all this stuff frozen with TiBu.
