Once rooted OTA is going to fail. Just do a manual update if need be via CWM.

thanks sir, i went and paid for cwm pro, and it tells me that rom cant be updated here is my story and issues, thanks for any help you can give
galaxy s2 epic touch (sprint) when i got the unit i flashed it and had not backed up factory rom, i flashed with EG30-Stock-deodexV2-withCIQ now i have tried to ota update and kies, also rom manager, it give me the message that my rom developer has not set this rom to take ota updates, this is where i need some direction to flash a rom that i can get otas back and update, i do want to root due to my back up is in titanium pro, and would need root to pull back in my data settings and such, thanks for any help anyone can give me on my issue
you meant you bought rom manager pro. cwm can be seperate. its found in a kernel that has it installed. do not use rom manager it doesn't flash roms to our phone. if you are completely stock with no root the go to settings about phone. update. go through the updates. it will be fine as long as you have stock kernel. when that is done odin a new kernel that contains cwm. flash whatever you want after that.

btw. if I were you I would just use odin to flash a full tar. such as the ek02 or el29. its alot easier.

i need to get back to stock from my issues above, i need a stock rom, or a rom that will take ota, my phone keeps telling me i have a system update ready i think it should be ics, is there a good ics with root and cwm that i can flash to resolve this, and also a ics rom that will take updates moving forward?
sorry dude no ics. you are either getting a notice for ek02 or if they have rolled it out yet el29. noone has gotten ics. in the first page of the dev section there is a tar for el29. the stock one. all you need is to odin that. then you can have root. also when ics does come out you can just flash a stock kernel with stock recovery and update.

ah ok, i assumed ics was out, my xoom pad took an update today to 4.2.3 so i assumed this update was or would be ics, thanks, sir, the ek02 will resolve my issues to take ota or at least let me update in rom manager move forward?
well ek02 will let you update to the next ota only if you flash a stock kernel with stock recovery. also I have never heard of someone using this phone being able to use rom manager to flash anything.

sorry, i get confused on rom, kernels, so the rom and kernel will be different? the ek 02 will have a kernel or no? should this have been my stock kernel i should have backed up at first? if so is there a stock kernel i can download and is it flashed with odin?
here you say update to the next ota only if you flash a stock kernel with stock recovery, is this something i need to do now, or later and a stock kernel im assuming i dont have mine due to the fact i messed up when i got my phone and forgot to back up all stock roms etc,etc. thanks for all you info and help on my issue

No you can go here and get EL29 which is the latest update http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1433101 then go to the on click root link I have in the previous message and root to a el29 kernel with CWM and your rooted, up to date and ready to flash.(for some reason I thought you wanted EK02) I have done both full does exactly what it implies you start just like it was out of the box.

Yes if you have TB you can save you apps use NODATA and then you can restore them from there, however I would just restore the app itself not the data. I do mine that way or i just reload everything again from market just in case you have a rogue app/data somewhere. as for the emails, are they all gmail accounts? if so they should be fine just resign into them.

I've had some random issues with it that I'd like to go back to factory stock and see if they're hardware related or not. I've done hours of searching and can't find any information on it anywhere.

Thanks, but that's the opposite of what I need. I'm currently rooted and want a stock rom back on my phone. It's the non-rooted ROM that I can't find.
I think you can't get that off of samfirware.com I think that's the site

how do you back up your original rom? I could make one for you if you tell me how? I would like to have a backup before I flash anything as well.

Follow the rooting guide in the Android developement forum, then instead of flashing the rom first and then the Recovery, flash the recovery first.
Boot into it(volume down + power button) and choose the nandroid backup.

I downloaded the appropriate firmware from that site, but when I apply the update in recovery mode it does the following (the green text should be yellow, but I figured you'd like to be able to read it):

Tried Kies a few times. Not once has it been able to flash the device. It will download the required files, and typically it'll just stop at that point and error out. Once I saw it try to update the device, then go back to the downloading files and then just never go anywhere...
Of course, looking now in Kies, It doesn't even pull a current firmware version, it's just blank space where it should be..
If I remember correctly, FW from samfirmware are Odin flashable....

I didn't even think to check that. I'll extract it now and attempt and post back with my findings.
So, flashing the stock rom from SamFirmwares worked great with Odin, no issues. I still have SuperUser installed on the device, but Titanium backup says that it can't get root privileges. My screenshot app works just fine still though, and my AT&T update failed. The download went fine, after it rebooted, the update went to "Preparing" and then "Update is failed" and it rebooted saying the update couldn't be installed at this time...
What on earth am I doing wrong?

yeah...the SU app is still there but it's functionality is obliterated. So if you are rooted and your device is needed to be serviced, just flash the non-rooted stock ROM (recommended samfirmware) and, you may need to factory reset to perform updates....hopefully this would do the trick

Well, that's what I did last night, flashed the stock non-rooted ROM from samfirmware last night, I just didn't reset the device settings/data afterwards. I can try resetting the data tonight and see if I can get the OTA update though.
Do you have clock work mod installed? Can that be effecting you from getting your updates if you do?
Can someone please tell me what I'm doing wrong. I'm on stock uvalh2, it is rooted but i checked temp unroot in superuser. I downloaded the JB leak update UVDLI7, and i put it on my external SD. I went into stock recovery and i hit "install from external sd" and hit the downloaded JB, file. And everytime i tried installing this came up
"E:error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip (status 7)
Does any one know what that is? I've updated my girlfriends sgs3 and my brothers and it worked flawlessly, but i can never seem to achieve it onon mine. If anyone could help, it would mean the world to me., thanks

I recommend you verify the integrity of your LI7 file, then use Odin to flash ClockworkMod (links in my signature).
I think its about time people quit messing around with the worthless stock recovery.

Hey, i had root and cwm on uvalh2. But i was told that to update my phone to the leak JB 4.1.1 UVDLI7, I need to unroot And install it from stock not CWM. Plus ive read about 10 different directions on varius sites saying the Same thing. I was even told to change the file name to Update.zip. i still get the error tmp/sideload/package.zip status 7. I've already done it to 2 other Phones, i just can't get it on mine. If you know a way to flash the JB leak UVDLI7 thru Odin please tell me how. Thanks
I am not sure what error 7 means. It could mean your files didn't pass verification (the update checks them before it applies), or the zip file is corrupted, etc. Did you get it from here: http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&model=SGH-T999&pcode=TMB&os=1&type=1#firmware?
My point is that this information about OTA flashing that you are seeing is outdated. People still swear by it, but they are no longer correct. Two months ago, they were correct. But not anymore. If you are using CWM 6.0.1.2, you absolutely do not need to do anything, except flash the leaked OTA update through CWM.
You don't flash the OTA updates through Odin. If you are on UVALH2 right now, here is what you do:
If you are using a modem that is not LH2, you need to flash to LH2.
Run OTA update through CWM.
Done.

And yes i had gotten it from sammobile
I've put together a zip file with the I747UCLH9 AT&T OTA update that can be flashed using CWM/TWRP. This file
preserves root
does not include the Google search update (so you can keep universal search if you want it)
does not wipe /data
does require removing all themes and modifications
Standard disclaimer: I am not responsible if this bricks your phone, destroys your IMEI or kills your kids.
Prerequisites: You have to be on stock I747UCALG1 for this to work. It may be rooted, but all the standard AT&T and Samsung bloatware must be there with no modifications. It's okay if some of the apps are frozen with Titanium Backup. You must not have any other mods or themes applied. The updater will check this stuff and abort if anything is wrong. I personally restored a nandroid backup I made right after rooting. If you didn't make one, you can use Odin and the instructions here to go back to stock.
To apply it:
Boot into recovery and make a nandroid backup.
Go back to AT&T UCALG1 rooted stock if necessary (see above). If you're already on stock UCALG1 but have framework-res.apk modications applied, you can flash this zip to restore framework-res.apk to UCALG1 stock.
Make sure CWM recovery from clockworkmod.com or TWRP is installed. The recovery from Team Epic will not work.
Put one of the zip files from below on your internal or external SD card.
Boot into recovery
Flash the attached zip
Wipe cache and dalvik cache (optional?)
(Optional) Go to Backup and Restore, Advanced Restore and restore the /data from the nandroid backup you made in step 1. If you used a nadroid backup in step 2, this should restore your data and apps. If you used Odin to flash the rooted UCALG1 image, this step isn't necessary.
Reboot
Open Settings / Application Manager. Choose All tab. Click on AT&T Software update. Clear "Clear data". If you were getting OTA notifications before, this will prevent them from recurring. After doing this, your phone will know it's up-to-date.
This worked for me. I checked that my flash counter is still at 0 and Google search is still finding local stuff like apps. I still have root.
Here's an alternative way to apply the OTA that doesn't require having stock UCALG1 installed first:
Download all the files in the PIECES section below.
Go into recovery and flash them all before rebooting. Make sure you flash the kernel file after the ROM file.
DOWNLOADS:
I747UCALH9_OTA.zip: This is the full OTA, with kernel and bootloader. You must be using the stock UCALG1 kernel for this to work. MD5: dabaddcfadd250e8389fe387cd3a9ba2
I747UCALH9_OTA_no_kernel.zip: This is the OTA without the kernel. You can use this if you're already running a non-stock kernel. MD5: 7e304f087f7d3e2096c7e30f745df38c
I747UGLH9_OTA_no_kernel_bootloader_modem.zip: This is the OTA without the kernel, bootloader, or modem. It's just the ROM updates. MD5: 6602fd89a3b49db1ab9128c9d9725812
MODS:
This process requires the stock framework-res.apk, so at this point you'll need to reapply any mods you already applied. Here are some mods that I've rebuilt against LH9. All are zip files you can apply through recovery.
Tether and Cell Standby Fix: This includes the mod to enable native Bluetooth and WiFi tethering from here and the fix for the incorrect reporting of Cell Standby time from here.
No Increasing Ring: This removes the increasing ringtone volume. The mod is from here.
No Increasing Ring + Call Recording: This is the same mod as above but with call recording enabled, as described here.
Remove Wifi Notification: This removes the Wifi notification when connected to Wifi. The mod is from here.
15 Toggles in ICS blue: Customizes the toggles in the notification bar. The mod is from here. You can replace the system/framework/lidroid-res.apk file in this zip with any one of the various themed versions on XDA if you want a different look.
15 Toggles in ICS blue - no brightness bar: The same mod as the one above, but also removes the brightness bar from the notifications drop down.
Extended Power Menu: Adds three choices to the Reboot option in the Power menu: Reboot, Recovery, and Download. The mod is from here.
PIECES:
Bootloader: This zip installs just the LH9 bootloader. MD5: 750ce5b2d0fd4476998a8b9e8194c26a
Modem: The modem can be found in this thread.
ROM: This zip installs a complete rooted copy of the LH9 ROM. Unlike the OTA zip above, it does not require that an unmodified LG1 ROM is already installed, but it is much larger (700 MB). You can flash this and all the other pieces in this section to flash an entire LH9 installation. MD5: 1df5aa24f2fe8fd65299a86f050da947
Kernel: This zip will install just the LH9 kernel and associated kernel modules. MD5: 62475e6701aac016732fb0d7d4b781db
TROUBLESHOOTING:
If the zip file aborts with an error, it's most likely because one of the files it wants to patch has been modified from stock LG1. The OTA is not a complete ROM but is a set of binary patches to the LG1 files, so the files it wants to patch must be unchanged from LG1.
The zip file checks that the files are unmodified before proceeding and prints out the first modified file it finds if something is wrong. If something does wrong, read the error message because it will tell you want the problem is. If you want to post to this thread, include the full error message in your post. This normally includes the string "assert".
CREDITS:
Tether mod: electron73
Cell Standby fix: bala_gamer and Anderilux
No Increasing Ring mod: yoelsd and criskelo
Enable Call Recording mod: wanam
Remove Wifi Notification mod: vlara
15 Toggles mod: wanam, Celmerine for the flashlight fix, and electron73 for the ICS themed lidroid-res.apk file.
Extended Power Menu mod: magn2o and sphinx02
good start.. but still need a version that can be applied on top of lh1
thanks
Great work! Before I give it a try, I wanted to ask if the mods are also rebuilt against LH9. It doesn't seem so from the description, so I wanted to make sure before I decide to give it a go. Thanks.
Can I use the OP steps if I updated the OTA but it said it failed?
This is what my phone info says now

So my question is if your using a custom rom there's really no need to update this right? I mean if I flash back to stock and then update and reflash a custom rom its kinda defeats the purpose I'm assuming.

I wanted to add to my prior post that Even tho it says that it told me it failed on install I seem to have all the new features, except the stock browser won't load pages (chrome works though)

Why? Just restore your nandroid from LG1 (you have one, right?) or ODIN back to LG1, then apply the OTA. The OTA is a patch against LG1, so it can't be applied on top of LH1. If you refuse to go back to LG1, you'll need to wait for AT&T to release the full LH9 ROM as an Odin file.

Yes, they are. The OP had a typo that I've since corrected. Thanks for pointing it out.

Probably not, because the OTA is a patch for LG1 and is not complete. You're best bet is to go back to LG1 and then apply the zip.

In addition to the ROM, the OTA also updates the modem, kernel, and bootloader. The modem is already available in the modem thread. I will eventually make a zip with the kernel and can also make one with just the bootloader if anyone's interested.
To answer your question, if you go back to LG1, flash the OTA, then reflash your custom ROM, you will have changed the modem, kernel, and bootloader but not the ROM.
no i dont have a lg1 backup as i never installed lg1 to my phone just went direct from the originally release firmware or whater to lh1

I thought your OP steps included going back to LG1?
drothenberger said:
If you didn't make one, you can use Odin and the instructions here to go back to stock.
To apply it:
1.Boot into recovery and make a nandroid backup.
2.Go back to AT&T UCALG1 rooted stock if necessary (see above). If you're already on stock UCALG1 but have framework-res.apk modications applied, you can flash this zip to restore framework-res.apk to UCALG1 stock.

Yes, you're right. If you follow all the steps, you'll first go back to LG1 regardless of what ROM you're on now. Sorry for the confusion.
Thank you! Upgraded successfully.
Worked fine for me. Only additional step is that I had to restore root using the Voodoo OTA app. So I would recommend that anybody who wants to install this update install Voodoo OTA restore first and backup their root access before they flash this.
Edit: BTW I used TWRP 2.2.2 recovery which did not work before when I tried to use the downloaded OTA.

That should not be necessary, although it won't hurt. I did not do anything special to preserve root and did not lose it.
I modified the original OTA upgrade script so it keeps the correct permissions on the /system/xbin/su binary, which should be all that's necessary.

It's quite possible that I had temporarily disabled root while I before I flashed this update, so it may not be necessary to back up root. Might not be a bad idea, though.
Failed Update
I had rooted my phone using mskip's QCom Toolkit. I used the ALLINONE rooting option, which should be stock with root.
Tried to run the OTA update and failed as expected, but when I tried using the CWM flash method as the OP described, it fails with error "assert failed: apply_patch_check". Not sure if mskip's rooting method makes any modifications to stock. I tired using Voodoo OTA to temporarily disable root, but still same issue.
Current baseband is I747UCLG1
Any pointers? Thanks
What if i have added Google Wallet will i lose that.
I have stock I747UCALG1 Phone Rooted with tether added and Google Wallet. if i use above process will i be fine? I dont want to loose Google Wallet.
I know i have frozen some bloat apps but not sure if i removed any i may have will that mess it up?

I made a kernel zip for myself, so here it is. I successfully used it to return to the stock kernel after installing the ktoonsez kernel. Perhaps somebody else can make a better kernel zip. I just did
dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0p7 of=boot.img, dropped that into ktoonsez's installer, swapped in the stock modules, removed his custom app and init.d stuff, and re-zipped it. It works.
The reason was to avoid having to do a full nandroid restore if ktoonsez's kernel didn't work for some reason. I have no reason to think it won't work, I just always make backups.

I don't know much about how Google Wallet is installed, but I suspect you will lose it. I think I read in the other OTA thread that Google Wallet was not applying for people on LH9.
Also, you won't be to apply my zip if you have the tether modification installed. All modifications have to be removed -- you must be on stock LG1. You can apply the tether mod in the OP after you updated to LH9 if you want. I'm not sure about Google Wallet, though.

Here is the ota file I just pulled from my s3. It's a cfg file though, and the recommended way to install is via adb sideload.
Stock users please test it. People who are rooted, use xposed, TiBu to freeze bloat, tell me how to update without a factory reset. I have already tried unrooting and using stock recovery, I am now unfreezing all bloat and uninstall xposed to see if it works.

Devs, is there a way to modify the update script so it doesn't check for modified system status? I'm worried I can't update because of tripped knox and if so I'm screwed

Can you please PM @DocHoliday77 to help him build the Stock ROM for us? He does not have the AT&T Device, but can surely help us in building the ROM. Greatness of him!!
He may ask for some other files for building AT&T ROM for us. If he can build the ROM for us, then we dont have to take the pains of testing the CFG file!!
Thanks man!!
Thank you for sharing this. We'll be hard at work on this now

you can't just flash an update.zip through stock recovery?
Appears to be working! I've got someone who is going to try to get me everything I need to build a rom from the AT&T release, so if all goes well I should have it up this afternoon! :fingers-crossed:
Success!
used the odin flashable 4.3 file from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2722660 , went back to stock 4.3 and then used the OTA provided by the OP to get to 4.4.2
edit: please wait for the devs to work their magic to get fully working and easily flashable roms

Awesome, will this be an odin flashable tar that will keep your data? I have been struggling for the past few hours trying to update without losing all my data. I flashed this rom [http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2498233] that is stock and includes knox but Adb doesn't work for me and the at&t software update says its up to date, which its not, so I think the rom might have a problem, and I'm trying to figure out how to reinstall twrp so I can restore my backup but knox is blocking me. Hopefully I can just odin your rom and towelroot and be done with it.

OTA shouldn't wipe any of your data. The way it works is it patches the existing files on your device with any changes to bring it up to date. Shouldn't touch any user data at all.

It'll be recovery flashable. Im not sure yet if Ill be trying to create an Odin flashable one. Will need to have someone pull the system.img slightly differently if I do. (Would need to Odin flash 4.3, flash TWRP, boot straight to recovery and flash the OTA, then while still in recovery dump the partition.) Even then, no guarantee it would work quite right. These things can be a little finicky.
How is Knox blocking TWRP though? You should be able to flash that via Odin. Since you updated using the OTA though, every time you reboot, it will rewrite the stock recovery. So when you flash TWRP via Odin, uncheck the Auto Reboot box, then after the flash is successful, pull the battery. Then put it back in and boot straight to recovery and flash your rom.

I will try. No guarantees though. Its been a long time since I've messed with OTA's, so I'm not completely sure I will remember exactly what to do with it. I should be able to do it though. Just not making promises!

Not sure whether you can use Mobile Odin Pro to do that. Extracting the file from the OTA.zip and renaming it from 2400258.cfg to 2400258.zip makes it recognized in MOP, and the options are there to avoid the wipe, but I know earlier OTAs like that did wipe.
Note - I have only gone so far as loading it into MOP; waiting to see if someone more foolhardy than me is willing to actually do it.

Tempted to try it (flash through stock recovery) but not my phone lol
Unless MO is written to specifically handle it, it will probably fail. (Im not sure if it is or isn't)
Sorry if I was misinformed about it wiping data. On TMobile neither OTA's or flashing in Odin ever wipes data. Afaik, Odin will only wipe data if there is a data.img included in the .tar file. Our OTA's have never touched anything but dalvik on the data partition either from what I remember.

Let me be more precise; the technique I was talking about is found at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1767827 and applies the OTA in a way that wipes. Not sure whether MO would do the same or not; I haven't played with it since the upgrade to 4.3 last year and my memory is hazy.
Just tried and ADB sideload of this file to my S3. After renaming the .cfg file to .zip.
I get an "assert failed" on "getprop("ro.product.device") == "d2att""
Any suggestions? I'm wondering if the phone is reporting something other than d2att?
So no one tested this via stock recovery? Need to know if the update can be done through stock recovery.

Just tried this method.
I got the assert failure again, and it happily wiped my internal SD but didn't install the OTA.
Good thing I'm not using this device for anything critical, I'd be rather pissed off.
