I have an unrooted Samsung Intercept running 2.1, the 2.2 update downloaded and keeps asking me EVERY hour to update. I do not want to do the update. How do I get it to stop asking me?
update off??
How? I've been trying to figure this out for days now. I can't find anything in my phone or on the internet on how to stop it.
taken from here
I'm not responsible for any damage caused to your device...I'm just the messenger
""To turn OFF future OTA updates, there is a file in the /system/etc/security folder. The file is named "otacerts.zip". Rename it "otacerts.zip.bak", or whatever you want. That will prevent future updates.
You can change that filename using ADB, the root explorer app, or a terminal emulator app of choice right on your DROID. I use root explorer because it is easy and fast. But that's just me...""

I can't find a system folder, all it will show me is what is on my SD card. It looks like that comment was made for a rooted phone.
Okay, I couldn't find that folder, but it has stopped. Hasn't asked me for almost 24 hours. YAY!
Thanks for trying to help though!!
hey so I have two problems that im 100% sure are connected. One - anything I try to download (on stock browser, ICS Browser +, and Chrome) all fail even after numerous retries and clearing Download Manager / Downloads / Browsers data and rebooting.
Two - my sdcard/Download folder appears to be empty when using Astro and through a usb connection. Going to data/media/Download, I see all the contents of the folder, but sdcard/Download shows it as empty (false).
I'm on AOKP B28 and Franco M2
Any ideas? id love to be able to download things on my stupid phone again -______________________-
Edit: SOLUTION at post #14
I just got my galaxy nexus but from previous phones this is caused by not redoing permissions. Hope this helps. Rom Manager should help.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA
Fixed permissions. Download folder still showing up as empty. Downloads still unsuccessful.
Did you flash the sense 4.0 port by any chance?
That happened to me after I flashed that, couldn't see my pictures in gallery either.
To fix it I transferred all my sdcard contents to my computer, locked my bootloader and then unlocked it again and all was good!
Transferred everything back again then after.
nope havent flashed anything crazy but my custom rom and kernel
Well give that trick a go, it might sort everything out.
that method is basically a data wipe and would require me to reinstall the rom, kernel, restore all 300 apps and data ... every lengthy process .. without even a guarantee that it will fix the problem. but ill keep it in mind as a very last resort
anyone have any other suggestions?
It won't wipe rom and kernel, they will be fine but yes, unlocking it will wipe your apps.
It really is a last resort but in the thread for the sense port that is what the dev recommends.
Try everything you can before doing that obviously but I looked and that's all I could find that would work.
I'll keep an eye on this thread so if you find any way post it because I'm interested in finding out.
so any1 have a fix? i tried searching google and xda, found no solution or anything even close ...
Download an app called "Download All". Open it just once and close it, then try downloading the file again. I've had this problem before, and this seemed to have solved the problem for me. Let me know how it works out for you.

Reading. An amazing tool.
Try Dolphin browser HD
Okay so.. I wish I would've taken a screenshot of the file before I deleted it but whatever I guess I'll just describe the entire scenario for anyone else who's having this problem and getting no answers (to the guy who said Dolphin Browser.... Really?.......).
So first of all, data/media/Download functioned 100% fine, sdcard/Download, however, was basically a hollow tomb. You couldn't place any new files into it or even access any of the old files because the folder would appear as empty. So after getting not much help from xda and getting fed up with being unable to download anything at all (you'd be surprised how many things you need to download on a daily basis), I decided to look around using Astro and Root Explorer... Now this is where it gets weird/interesting...
So, using Astro, I found nothing out of the ordinary. But going into Root Explorer, I found a file(not folder) called "download" which was 4.36mb, had permissions rw-rw-r I believe, and showed no content when using a text editor or opening as a zip file. At first I tried setting this files permissions to that of any other folder I had in /sdcard, thinking all my download problems were because the permissions were set wrong, but even after changing the permissions, I couldn't download anything off the Internet. So I go back to the file, again with Root Explorer (this file wouldn't even show up in Astro.. anywhere), and decide to rename it, thinking it's just causing problems (deliberately or accidently) to downloadxxxx.zip (it had no extension before, just strictly "download") but even after this my problems still persist. Lastly, I just decide to delete this weird file altogether and... Voila, I was able to copy a file into my Download folder again, I can download files off the Internet, and i can view/access the contents of the folder. So everything is back to normal, hurray. I'm just curious what the hell that 4.36mb file could have been and why was it messing with downloads even after being renamed (I figured, okay, if it had the same name as the folder, that might cause problems, but after a rename... It made no sense). My only thought now is that the file was a trojan, but I'm not a coder or massive software techy so I can't say for sure. Anyways, problem solved. Just goes to show, sometimes you gotta take matters into your own hands. Hope this will help someone in the near future. Cheers.

Good job! This one is being saved as a mental note!
Also I don't want to be pedantic, OK I lie I do, but by woala I presume you meant voila as in the french word.
I dabbled in a bit of French in school.
only thing that worked for me was to lock and unlock the phone.(for some weird reason rom manager does not correct permission and gives an error). You will erase everything but at least you start fresh, eh?

I am having the exact problem that you are and would love to try your fix... The only problem with that is I need to know where you found this file? I did a search using Root Explorer but didn't see any files called download, just a bunch of folders and databases with the "string" download somewhere in their name. Any help would be great but I am getting very close to just locking my phone again and starting over in hopes that this will do the trick.
Thanks
I know this has been addressed but I was hoping you could help me and my friend out because we can't seem to find a definitive answer out there....I have tried about 8-10 4.2.X ROMs on my galaxy nexus and every time I do the files are moved into sub folder 0 because of multiple users and the restructured file system that comes with it.....now our problem is that when we use 4.2 or 4.2.1 ROMs the files are invisible no matter what I do....I used many different file explorers and yes I have "show hidden files" checked off. However when I revert back to 4.1.2 the files appear again.....even when I hook my phone up to my computer when running 4.2.x the files are invisible and they are nowhere to be found so that I can merge the old and new file folders...so basically when I'm running 4.1.2 everything is great but when I flash 4.2.x everything is moved and cannot be seen or visible on my phone or computer until I revert back to the previous version of android (4.1.1 or 4.1.2). Any help or problem solving is much appreciated once again thank you for the time and patience for dealing with us lol
Seems you are not using the latest TWRP or CWM so you are running into the "0" folder issue. Update your recovery and try again.
Hope this works

So what do you exactly have in /sdcard/ after you flash 4.2?
Oh and assuming you know that you have a folder called "xyz" and it becomes invisible, then did you try searching using the "Search" function of the file explorer you are using so it can find this "xyz" for you automatically?
The files should be stored somewhere because you see them when reverting to 4.1.2 so I think that determining where they are should help in understanding what's going on and what to do later
Note: I have to sleep so I will check this thread again in the morning if no one helped you already

First and foremost let me say thanks for taking the time I really appreciate it.....OK.....yes I have used the search function.....let's see here.....so currently I'm running PACman ROM android 4.1.2.....I'm using ES File Explorer.....so when I use es explorer and go to SD card everything is there....games media pics videos basically everything I have on my phone....now when I flash a 4.2.X ROM I download es file explorer and I check off show hidden files.....when I go to SD card a brand new set of files have appeared....including but not limited to "Android" "Notifications" "Downloads" etc. It brings a whole new set of empty folders to the foreground and all of my original folders were moved.....but I can't seem to find a way to "go up a level" to see my original files and see folder "0" with this new set of empty folders.....I basically can't find a way to go up one level and see the entire contents of SD card on my phone or on my computer it just automatically brings me the the newest folder "0" with no way to go up a level no matter what I do or try
Actually in ES File Explorer you will not be able to go up and see the files of the root directory unless you are "rooted" and do the following:
1) Run ES File Explorer
2) Click on the botton right 3 dots
3) Click settings
4) Scroll down to "Other Settings" and choose "Root settings"
5) Check the first three options "Root Explorer", "Up to Root" and "Mount File System"
Now if you start ES File Explorer then you can go up one level by clicking the "up" icon in the main screen
Afterwards, maybe you can search manually or via the Search function to find your files

DUDE!!!!!!!! Thank you so much I am rooted and checking off those 3 options did it!!!! Thanks a lot man I really appreciate it thanks for taking the time
I'm having the same issue as the OP. I can see all file structure with Astro and root explorer, yet I can not see them with my windows computer. All I can see is internal storage and the folders that are in there which seems to be just the main folders.
How are you able to see the rest of the folders in windows explorer so you/I can put my backups back on my phones. Titanium is saving to storage/emulated/legacy. Yet I can not get there through my PC. This is driving me nuts. I have a fresh install and want to get my back up stuff back to the correct locations.
Thanks

It seems you have your Titanium backup folder on your PC and you want to send it back to your phone, right?
If so, then just move the titanium backup folder normally to your /sdcard/ then follow this post to let titanium detect the folder you sent to /sdcard/ then restore your apps

You are correct and I have everything pretty much the way I want, but I think I have extra folders in my internal storage. I can now see the main storage from windows and it is temping to just keep going with what i got, but I have this nagging feeling that I have something wrong.
Like in this thread.
4.2 roms + CWM 6.0.2.3
your old files are located in data/media
4.2 creates its new SD card directory in data/media/0
take the files you want out of the old directory and put them in the new one and they will show up on your computer.

Long time lurker first time poster here.
I recently bought a Zeki 7" TBD753B. I would like to obtain root and install google play however I can only find firmware for other model numbers. Does anyone know if it exists? The only thing I can find on this tablet is a warning not to buy, however I have not experienced the wakeup bug stated in the only other thread mentioning this model and the device seems to work quiet well for the cheap price.
Im mostly looking to get adfree working being as ads do slow this device down.
Thanks ahead of time.

It also has screen bug on landscape on the top left corner, Portrait its on the top right.
If you use apps that utilize the whole screen ie.. nova launcher you will experience tapping those corner are hard.
ILITEK utility apps is a good apps to test it.
BTW its google ready if you need to install google play just find vending.apk for jelly bean and tap to install it.
If you want to root it PM me and Ill send you the signed update.zip to install root access.
For some reason I cant seem to attach update.zip here

get stripped firmware from their website. they make two models rock chip and allwinner.
Search XDA forums for Crystal Root zip.
Will install SuperUser and BusyBox on TBD753B. Confirmed working on my device FID: BN
That is the million dollar question. So far my answer is, you can't. First you'll need root access, I described that above. Put crystal zip on SD card, do not unzip file. Shut tablet down. Boot by holding volume down and power buttons. Should enter recovery, select update from EXT, select crystal file, then reboot now, you will see android updating message and then have superuser and busy box installed. That gets you about 50% there. I have tried to flash gapps without luck using the correct files. I believe the problem with this device to be the firmware. It's for ICS. I am thinking about rolling back OS to 4.0.3 and trying from there. The TBD782 is almost identical, thinking of trying a modded ROM I found in XDA forums. Basically that gets you to where I am. I believe the device is actually a momo9 variant/clone with allwinner a10 compatible chip. The manual I downloaded from above manufacturer (I can't post links yet) is identical to the TBD753B. You can also get a working version of livesuit from them. Hope any of that helps. I will report back when I have a working method.
Thanks for the replies. Please let me know when you figue something out.

I'm confirming root technique. 100% working.
can't find crystal root zip
I tried a search for crystal root zip and could not find on the xda site but did find a link using google but am not sure it is legitimate. Where on the forum can I find the link so I know it is the correct file? Also I was able to install Google Play on the TB782B without using a custom Rom. I used Links2SD. I installed a copy of the play store apk and then converted it to system app using Links2SD, rebooted and then it worked fine. Without converting it to system app it would not work properly but once converted it worked fine. Maybe this will work with the newer model.

Finally I can upload
Attach here are
Root for the Jelly bean zeki
TBD753B
TBDB763B (with bluetooth)
I recieved the root from Zeki tech support
Build no 4.1.1 20121204
Root Flash with recovery Vol- and Power button
Copy the update zip into sd card
Insert the card into the tablet.
Hold vol - and press power button to go to recovery.
Release the vol- button once you enter recovery
navigate with vol button , and power to select
select apply update from ext
Select the update zip you copy earlier
once its done reboot
Vending for Google play store
the tablet is google ready you can install the vending.apk (aka google play store) just by simply tapping it without root. (wont survive factory reset)
Manual way to install google play with root (this will survive factory reset)
use file explorer/manager ie.. ES file explorer, Root file explorer etc
You can use any file manager that you want and
ITS A BASIC ANDROID KNOWLEDGE you need to mount the system folder into writable before copying or change permission
copy the vending apk into system/app and change permission into RW R R
and important REBOOT.
UPDATE
Due too many emails
let me try to explain as basic as possible
ZEKI tablet already has Google Services Framework installed you dont need to re-install it again.
If you install Google Play store by flashing Gapps zip make sure it doesnt include Google Services Framework APK on the zip files.
Otherwise you will encounter too many FC later on. Dont ask me about GApps.zip since i dont use those methods.
In order for you to access, copy or modify into/on system folder
you need to enable or mount the system folder as writable and your phone/tablet need to be rooted
You can use any file manager apps you want
ie.. ES File Explorer, Root Explorer, Astro File Manager or etc
Below is example for ES file explorer
Tap options
tap settings
Scroll down and select Root Settings
Put a Check mark for Root explorer and mount file system
You have to figure out with the file manager apps you use how to mount the File System as writtable
I dont know every single apps there
Try to GOOGLE it.
proper procedure
Thanks so much for the help! As for the update.zip can I do what I usually do and just go into settings/about tablet/system updates and update from there with the update file on the root of my sd card? And for the google apps I just copy it over to my tablet and just install after doing the update? Thanks again for your time.

Limit your posting to one forum only,
Posting in multiple forums for the same question are confusing.
From the pictures it looks like you have corrupted files.
re-download it again the vending apk MD5 is 14BEBEC455594BD71C47B6F57164CA91.
and again I ask you What is your firmware.

No need to get all headstrong. I posted in two places because theres two threads. I didnt create the threads. And i know all about this stuff man, my download isnt corrupt, i tried copying over a different vending.apk, and it looks the exact same. So, thats not the problem.
The firmware just says (Build number) ZEKI 4.1.1 20121213, I dont see any other firmware number anywhere?
I appreciate you uploading the files needed for this. I dont appreciate u telling me to limit my posts though. Lol. Theres 2 threads. :what: And i didnt ask the same question, or say the same thing in both threads.
Anyway, ill figure it out. Thanks again for the root, and google play.

Finally I can upload
Attach here are
Root for the Jelly bean zeki
TBD753B
TBDB763B (with bluetooth)
I recieved the root from Zeki tech support
Build no 4.1.1 20121204
Root Flash with recovery Vol- and Power button
Copy the update zip into sd card
Insert the card into the tablet.
Hold vol - and press power button to go to recovery.
Release the vol- button once you enter recovery
navigate with vol button , and power to select
select apply update from ext
Select the update zip you copy earlier
once its done reboot
Vending for Google play store
the tablet is google ready you can install the vending.apk (aka google play store) just by simply tapping it without root. (wont survive factory reset)
Manual way to install google play with root (this will survive factory reset)
use file explorer/manager ie.. ES file explorer, Root file explorer etc
You can use any file manager that you want and
ITS A BASIC ANDROID KNOWLEDGE you need to mount the system folder into writable before copying or change permission
copy the vending apk into system/app and change permission into RW R R
and important REBOOT.
UPDATE
Due too many emails
let me try to explain as basic as possible
ZEKI tablet already has Google Services Framework installed you dont need to re-install it again.
If you install Google Play store by flashing Gapps zip make sure it doesnt include Google Services Framework APK on the zip files.
Otherwise you will encounter too many FC later on. Dont ask me about GApps.zip since i dont use those methods.
In order for you to access, copy or modify into/on system folder
you need to enable or mount the system folder as writable and your phone/tablet need to be rooted
You can use any file manager apps you want
ie.. ES File Explorer, Root Explorer, Astro File Manager or etc
Below is example for ES file explorer
Tap options
tap settings
Scroll down and select Root Settings
Put a Check mark for Root explorer and mount file system
You have to figure out with the file manager apps you use how to mount the File System as writtable
I dont know every single apps there
Try to GOOGLE it.

This worked great, if your having problems with the permissions, see how another file in system/apps has it's permissions set, using root explorer click on another file name, then permissions..it will show you how to properly set it for the vending.apk.

Its es file explorer that was giving me problems. Ive never used it in the past, so.....i got rid of it, and used 4shared to swoop up rom toolbox. Got it on the first shot with rom toolbox.
My suggestion........use rom toolbox. It sets proper permissions for the user automatically.

not working
I followed all instructions but I get a message "unfortunately, Google play store has stopped" after I setup my account
Let me start by saying that i do not take credit, by any means for this fix, i did use the SEARCH tool and found the solution. What i'm doing is posting a faster/easier fix for the thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2196200
All of the help i read, is from this thread here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2102981&highlight=miui+camera.
Our common issue was that each time we flashed an AOSP ROM(for me the new MIUI PORT FROM SPRING TO SHG3 TMO) the camera wouldn't connect, and that's a deal breaker. Im sure it was for many of you. (I'm a noob, just giving a heads up, and this is why i have to post here rather than the first thread, being understandbly limited and all) As the 2nd of the two threads says, the issue is that on stock rom there is a bin file named SlimISP_ZH.bin, once flashed, it's no longer there, causing the camera to simply not connect. I odin'ed back to stock(because i didn't have access to the bin file), used ES File Explorer to "copy" the SlimISP_ZH.bin file into my external sd card, then i proceeded to flash to the MIUI ROM of my choice, after setting up the phone, using ES File Explorer again, i placed the bin file on the /data directory. If a mod can confirm it's ok, i'll be more than happy to upload the bin file to make it easier. Oh one last thing i changed permissions, so it should show as rw-r--r--

How do you change permissions? Do I need to be rooted? Do I need busybox?

Yes you need to be rooted. No you do not need busybox. Use ES File Explorer. Better yet, try Fix Permissions in Custom Recovery.
