Problems while upgrading to froyo

alrighty, I don't know if there is any other post about this but hey, I want my froyo. So I did a hard reset to my phone using the temp one click root from z4. I received the ota download but it could not get past the verifying mode. What did I do wrong!? Is there anyone out there that can help me with my noob mistake?

Something has changed on your system from stock. Did you remove any stock apps like asphalt?
Have you installed clockwormod? That will stop the update from verifying, too. However, you can use clockworkmod to flash this modified update.

Check your phone info and see if your baseband version ends in DI18 as well as the build number.
I had a problem where the baseband stayed DK28. I had to Odin back with the stock tar file in order to return completely to stock. This also installed all bloatware I had removed.
After that, the upgrade was seemless.

Use Odin. Easiest way to upgrade

Update question, jelly bean

I currently on ics stock phone but rooted so I can delete bloat. I am currently downloading jelly bean from samsungs website. http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=SGH-T999 . I don't want to brick my phone or anything and I am not sure about how to go about this. What is the best way to go about this? Can I just simply open odin and load jelly bean in there and install? How should I go about this? Thanks in advance.

Also when I get jelly bean on will my cwm files work or do I need to wait for a new version to come out?

Flash the stock rooted version:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1991255
Otherwise you'll need to flash back to stock. Then update
You can't update with a custom recovery like cwm.

I think thats already what I got. I don't have any custom roms or anything. Just stock with root for my current setup. 4.0.4. Can I just upgrade straight to jelly bean then without wiping my data?

In your second post you mention your cwm files. Do you have a custom recovery?
How did you root might be a better question?
Just rooted you can update, but will probably lose root
If you have clockwork (cwm) or twrp recovery the update won't flash

The way I rooted was using the method zedomax posted. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1735561
I did find an article that I think is the answer im looking for. Right now I got odin putting the stock out of the box software back on.

How did you get Odin to do that? I have CWM installed and everytime I reboot the phone (Home, Vol Up, Power) CWM comes up but Odin doesn't recognized the phone as being connected. It will only recognize my phone when it's booted normally into Android.

All I did was follow the steps in the 2nd link I posted. It worked and I just did an update through the settings menu.

It should, though I would recommend a different way.
You can get the root66 firmware from the FW thread linked in my sig. Its just the stock fw, but prerooted.
Flash it via odin and youre done!
If you dont want to mess with the fw you can use the method you posted, but id get up to date files first.
I havent watched it in some time but I think you can get most of what you need from the fw thread, post 2. If you need help finding something else just let us know.

I guess official JB update released today but your website shows 20.10.2012. is it going to be same firmware as tmobile released today?

Updated, Rooted, and now I get an update?

So I updated to 4.1.2 recently and decided I'd simply root my phone. Now today I have the AT&T updater telling me I have an update pending. I'm already on 4.1.2 and the only possible reason I could conceive as to why this is popping up is because during rooting something must have changed and that flagged the updater as me having an obsolete firmware. Anyone else getting this?

The latest is actually I317UCAMA4; the ALK7 is the one right before that

Thanks, I have TWRP installed so do I have to reinstall the stock recovery and then continue the update and whatnot?

Don't waste your time with the ATT update; just flash almost any custom ROM, and you will have all the benefits plus much more...

I agree, but if you want to upgrade, use cf auto root to reinstall stock recovery, use full unroot in super su, then run update

Could be, I always keep a stock backup jsut incase. You can always dirty flash a stock rom and see if that works
Sent from my GT-N7105 using xda premium

If you are going to stick with stock, you may want to use autoruns to disable the check for updates. That way at least the notification will go away.

I did all of the above. Update was downloaded successfully, Phone reboot itself and started installing update. And than "updated was interrupted" message popped out. I've tried it several times with the same result.
Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Problem with ota software update

Hi guys
Just wondering if anyone has a solution to this problem that I have.
I heard that the sgh t989 has a sw update from ics and I wanted to try it out. So I went to the software update feature and it said: no firmware. Is there a fix to this?
Please help.
Thanks

You can either try Kies, or download the update from http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/ .

Umm....
Kies is telling me that my device is not supported by Kies 2.0
So......
Is there any way I can install the firmware directly from my phone?

If OTA doesn't work I think you will need a computer. I sent you a link to the firmware that you can flash with Odin.

Have you used Odin before? Perhaps to root your phone?
Do you have the USB drivers installed on your computer? If not, it would probably be a lot easier to flash one of the stock builds from the development section.
Here is one
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=40682271

No I havent used Odin
I just want to install the official jb update on my phone.
If Odin is the only way then I will do it.
I do have all the drivers installed on my computer.
Can you maybe tell me more about Odin and flashing before I actually go and do it?
Also I have unlocked my phone but I dont think it is rooted.

This is a pretty good guide with pictures. Just unzip the file I gave you and substitute it for the one in the guide.
http://galaxys2root.com/t-mobile-ga...-to-ics-stock-on-t-mobile-galaxy-s2-sgh-t989/
I will pm you a link to Odin.
You have to be very careful following this guide because if something goes wrong you could hard brick your phone.
By the way, you will lose all of your settings so you should probably backup before you attempt this.

How will I back it up if kies doesnt recognize my phone
Will I be needing Kies for this?
Btw should i use the method in the link above or the link you pm'ed me

You have to install either TWRP or CWM to make a backup. You don't really need to, though. Unless you want to be able to bring your phone back to where it is now if you don't like jellybean. Installing a new recovery is similar to installing the new jb update.
The first link I pm'ed was for the firmware and the second link was for the Odin program to flash the firmware to your phone.
No, you should not be needing Kies.

Will my data still be there after I update or will it restore and update my phone?

It will replace the whole ROM, so I think your data will be erased. I am not sure about the unlock, but others have said the unlock survives a ROM change.

Umm so lets finalize the whole thing
this is where I should go to update ( also replace their ics firmware with my jb one)
This is the official jb for my phone
This is Odin (which I will use to update my phone)
Is all of this correct?
Also which device should I select from twrp?

That is correct. Here is the Odin flash able tar of TWRP.

First we will get TWRP installed. Use this guide as a reference http://galaxys2root.com/t-mobile-galaxy-s2/how-to-root-icsgb-on-t-mobile-galaxy-s2-sgh-t989/
Turn off your phone. Hold volume up and volume down and plug it into your computer. Now follow the steps in the guide above using the odin program I sent you and the TWRP file.You only need to go up to number 6.
After it reboots, shut your phone off and then hold volume up and volume down and the power button until you feel it vibrate and let go of the power button. You should now be in TWRP where you click backup. Click the check-boxes for everything but internal sdcard. You can also change the backup name to make it easier to keep track. Then just swipe to backup. Don't worry if the screen turns off, it is supposed to do that to save battery.
Once you get that done we can start on the next thing.

Where do I get twrp from and do I use it on my phone or pc?

You use Odin to install TWRP(recovery) to your phone. I think you should read those guides a few times or more so you can get familiar with what you need to do.

For warranty there haven't been reports of denial, but don't know about trading it in.. I don't think they will check though

Why not just factory reset? Probably the easiest way if you just want stock.
