Long Time Reader first time Poster !
I have rooted my phone and flashed my phone a bunch of times. All of them went great. When The gingerbread OTA came through I flashed back to the Orginal Build Number of Sph-d700 Eclair.dI18 and then updated the phone through the OTA froyo and then to the gingerbread. Then the phone was rooted and all was good for months. Then an update came for the phone that Could not be done because of the root.
Finally after months of saying no to the message of installing an update I figure , I ll flash the phone back to the Eclair with the tar and pit file I have always used and then update it fully just using the wifi.
Heres the problem. Everything went great and I am using the orginal Eclair again but no update has been sent to the phone for 3 days when normally it was instant ?
So I look through the forums for the Froyo update.zip and every link I find is Dead ?
Any thoughts on the next step ? any help would be amazing, Thanks

Use this video and youll be on the latest build of gingerbread : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QTQ6Rn0FBSk
although i dont think its necessary to have repartition checked.. but as long as the flash goes smooth you wont have any problems.
Ill give it a shot and let you know how it goes

Glad you got it working. You plan to stay on stock rooted? Or plan on flashing a rom? Instead of starting a what's the best rom thread you can ask here

I see a lot of people talking about having 2.2 on there i9000. Where do you get it? I thought you had to wait for it to come on keis. Can someone explain this? Thank you
Yep the update comes on kies and pretty much everyone has got it now. Other then that u can flash ur device to froyo via odin.

Froyo is rolling out across the networks not al have it yet .
One you wait for your network to supply an official update and then use Samsung Kies to update .
Or you download whatever copy of 2.2 you want use Odin to flash it to your phone .
Negatives with flashing one voids warranty and two very small possibility of bricking your phone . So in your shoes i would wait until your network releases update .

flash a rom is very easy ,it just cost your appoximatly 3 minutes...
Wrong section. Not Q&A.
I've had my a100 for about three weeks now. At first I didn't see a need to root but I find the empty space on my screen such a waste where I could fill with icons and widgets. And then there's the bloatware - ugh!
My question is should I just root HC or wait for a stable ICS Rom? I really don't want to keep flashing back and forth either. Just wanted some opinions, thank you.

.....and what exactly are you waiting on? Just go ahead and root with this very easy method here ---> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1472521
It appears that ZeroNull has posted the official ICS rom for the a100 here ---> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=25130266&postcount=423
I have been going back and forth between HC and ICS and now I am on my HC waiting for a "stable ICS rom." Hopefully what has been posted in the 2nd link will be the ICS fixes i've been waiting for (touch screen fixes...compatibility etc)...

quick question
Hello,
Thanks for all the good info from. Everyone! I am currently rooted with HC 3.2 does anyone know if when the ics update is released next week, if people that are rooted will have any issues getting the ota update? I'm guessing no, but if anyone has an definitive answer that would be great.
Thanks for the help and I have not flashed anything only rooted that's all thru terminal emuator method sorry forgot exact name. Been rooted for about four months right around when the leak was released was when I rooted, but decided to wait for the officialupdate to get the Acer ring and have no problems.
Thanks for the help you all are da sh!t

If youre just rooted then you should still see the update. So long as you dont change anything like build.prop, or remove any OEM files you should be good to go with the OTA. Also download OTA Rootkeep app and protect root now. Once you do the OTA just restore root via the app and thats it. No need to reroot with any other method.
ICS will not resolve your problem with the empty spaces from both sides (landscape mode).
Rooting may be.If you change the DPI in build.prop you can fill the whole screen but then in portrait mode you will not be able to see everything.Actually this spaces are still empty in portrait mode but are up and down.
Hello can anyone write a tutorial that will send any T989 with custom ROM and RADIO to it's original configuration so Kias can upgrade phone to ICS ? Let's say I am on Darkside with radio from Blaze 4G and I do have my original ROM backed up with ROM Manager ....now what ? From what I understand I need 3 things to make a smooth transition.
1. Original 2.3.6
2. Original RADIO
3. No Custom Recovery (no clockwork)
I may be incorrect on clockwork but I know for sure radio and rom has to be exact. So is there anyone can write a tutorial that will put any T989 and ANY Custom ROM to it's original state ? (I hjope it's even possible)
Thank you.

I guess that link is for old stock ROM (ULKL1) . They upgrade it one more time before IcS to UVLDE. There is thread on general section.
Follow that

Is that mean I'll have to do an upgrade before I can do ICS ? Or I can just go from that straight to ICS ?
if you find the UVLDE md5.tar file in whatever thread it is in, you only need to go back to that STOCK version, there is no further update from that.
You can then do the ICS update after that.

Why not wait a few days for us to play with it first? Updating through Kies could render your device unrootable. With what I have been reading/hearing they may lock the bootloader and make it impossible to root until a security flaw is found and exploited. This could take days to even months if even possible. Like I said, my advice is to wait.

Crap ...... well I am with ICS now and hoping for ROOT ATM meanwhile I just glad whole process was painless and straight forward. One question if possible. So at this stage It'll be impossible to use same guide and return to 2.3.6 stock from before right ?

Hi I am a long time user and developer for windows mobile devices (WM5/WM6), and have switched over to android for many years now... but just now am having the time to explore cooking with android, using ADK, rooting androids, etc... So i thought id wait on doing anything serious with my SIII and note2, and for now im working on my epic touch 4g.... I have most of all the software i need for windows and for the actual process of flashing, rooting, cooking, etc, but I CANNOT FIND THE CORRECT FILES TO USE IN ODIN TO ROOT MY DEVICE. AND I AM NOT SURE THE BEST WAY TO TELL WHICH VERSIONS OF RADIOS/ROMS/KERNELS/BL'S ARE INTERCHANGEABLE AS WELL.... BELOW IS A LIST OF ALL OF MY DEVICES HW/FW VERSIONS FOR REFERECE... (RUNNING ICS 4.0.4). COULD SOMEONE WITH MORE ANDROID EXPERIENCE PLEASE CHIME IN AND LET ME KNOW WHICH FILES I NEED TO USE IN ODIN TO ROOT THIS EPIC TOUGH 4G FOR ICS 4.0.4? id appreciate any help bc im anxious to check out some roms and start on cooking a few myself... thanks.

(btw i have tried two files so far but once they were flashed it gave me the yellow triangle and displayed as a gti900 model, and never went past splash screen... although the forum suggested they would work
I realize this seems elementary (especially being that I was quite proficient when I used to build WM roms, but android is a different animal and I want to start off right since i plan to start cooking again.... Sorry if this is silly to some, but it wouls really help me out... thanks
thank you all for any advice to help me get goin on this again, i miss doin this!!!

You might wanna ask a mod to move this to the Q&A section before the ib4tl folks start in on ya...
Yea, like posted above you can use a full restore rooted odin or one_click to get root. Assuming you didn't bone the phone with the files you tried.

Yes, i think your right, if the mods wanna move this to Q&A, please feel free to do so... dont wanna get anyone strted on that rant, lol... but no everything ive tried so far has just put me down temporarily and ive been able to reflash stock ICS from samsung using the .tar file in ODIN, thank god! i just cant seem to find the one that works right..

Just a quick video I threw together that should help people out. This will show you how to manually install the MA6 update.

If stock rooted with a custom recovery, you will need a stock recovery. Here is how to install that:

your videos are the best man! i don't need them, but i always watch them regardless in case i might have missed something. side note, how many phones do you actually have? like 206?

No way to do so running a custom rom. You'd have to go back to stock LJ7 and update.
I'd just find the MA6 modem freeza posted and flash that

Qbking thanks for all you do in the electronic world until last year I never knew you could do so much more with a phone when you root mod and rom and I always ran stock until I had my og evo from there I went epic , epic touch , and now the s3 and if it wasn't for you and your videos I'd still be stuck in the stock world lol anyways thanks again
Oh on a side note was this 4.1.2 a minor update correct ? If so when or if a next official update comes out do you think it will be a major one ? And would it be 4.1.?? Or 4.2.?
