I've been trying to update to LJ7 while rooted, and it hasn't been working. Every time I try to flash the update zip, it fails. My only other option I know of is to unroot, which either wipes data or recommends doing so. I have one app frozen that won't unfreeze no matter what I do that's stopping me from flashing the update zip. Do I have any other options to update that would at least keep root and not wipe data, like an Odin flashable file or something like that?

With the first link it at least recommends a factory reset with the one that doesn't wipe data. The rapidshare link isn't downloading on my phone. I'll try on my computer once I get home though. But with system checks removed, could anything go wrong, or would it just do the same as the official zip without me having to wipe data?

Only thing I see possibly going wrong is if your on something other than li3 and you flash the zip with the checks removed. It might throw you into a boot loop but that's substantially it

Yah, this is how i did it. worked perfectly.
I had rooted the stock ICS my phone came with, removed some of the bloatware, and had updated the modem at some point.
Ran this update via ODIN, it took about 15min or so to complete, but it kept all my data and updated the modem as well. Couldn't be happier!
CRITICAL TIP: I would backup your internal SD card, as some people report it being wiped, even though it did not occur for me.

The places where people said they were wiped was prior to the non-wipe version being posted. That one was made without the part that wiped people. Not saying that backing up your stuff is a bad idea though.
I ended up using the update zip with the system checks removed and it worked like a charm. I also flashed the Team Epic Root from recovery zip to keep root.

when you say system checks removed, do you mean the checking for stock recovery on bootup, or other checks? using this wouldn't cause issues for future OTA's to be flashed I assume ? thanks for the link!
the checks that the update performs prior to flashing the update itself. most times what causes the status 7 issue. and no i dont think it would hurt future ota's(granted even if not done by me, im sure someone will do the same thing to the next ota)

I'm running [ROM][28 Aug] [UVALH2 v37] XquiziT TMO ONLY!...
Whenever I turn on my phone, I get: Android is Upgrading... Starting Applications.
Although I don't think it affects the phones performance... it started happening after flashing Wildchild's ROM.
Of course, I have Wiped data, Dalvik, cache... and re-downloading, reflashing.
I also tried Wildchild's Superwipe [wipes EVERYTHING].
Some see it completely normal [SEE THIS POST], while others think it's not normal.
Any enlightening will be appreciated.
could it be updating your apps and checking for ota, abd that why it says that a boot up?
Why does it bother people so much? It isn't a big deal and it isn't affecting performance save boot up time but honestly how often does your phone boot?

I flashed and reflashed with triple wipe [internal SD/system/etc]
I guess I'll try a diff ROM. I'm just happy with the current ROM though.
Have you flashed any mods or themes?
Just a shot in the dark, but heres a couple things you could try.
Install the deodexed UVALH2 rom, see if it still happens. If it does try to use Odin to flash the pure stock (will lose root). If it still happens I would try a different release at that point, just to narrow it down.
If it stops happening try flashing xquizit over top of the full version and see if it starts again.
Something else to try is use a different recovery. If you're still up for troubleshooting at that point!
How did you update to UVALH2 in the first place? Did you flash one of the rooted versions, or did you update with the full firmware or ota via Odin?
Like I said, its a shot in the dark, but im just wondering if something happened or got left behind when you updated.

Sorry, missed that a minute ago. Can you get a logcat? Youll have to conect to your computer and run it at boot. Dont want to try to guide you through that from memory but there should be some good guides here on xda if you dont know how.

I have been researching all day trying to figure out how to get CM10 root to work properly. Each time I install it all of the features work fine, but I lack root access. I am able to root using the stock rom whether it be by using cwm or flashing using odin. Each time that I flash I always make sure to clear cache, do factory reset, and wipe the Dalvik cache. I have also attempted to use twrp instead of cwm, that yielded a bit different results; it would notify me when wifi was available and I had the CM updater, which I did'nt have before.
In all cases root access has been missing though. As far as I know CM had root access built in so I'm a bit confused as to what I can do. Any suggestions on what to do would be great, and if you need more information feel free to ask.
Thank you,

When installing using rom manager should I leave "wipe data & cache" checked or unchecked?
No. but you may need to boot into recovery and manually wipe the cache and davlik cache. I believe wipe data does a factory reset.
...I would download the zip file from get.cm and install it from recovery rather than from clockwork in Android as I've had MUCH better success installing ROM's that way but that's me...
It's a miracle! I installed cm10 using rom manager and left the wipe data and cache box unchecked. Then when it tried to boot it would stay at the boot logo, left it for about 10 min. Then I cleared only the cache; got the same results. Then I used the wipe data/factory reset option cwm recovery, flashed cm10, and then gapps. After that it booted up and surprisingly enough it was rooted.
Since the rooting was successfully done even though I wiped the data prior to install there are only a few possibilities as to why this happened:
I had the wrong zip to flash (I obtained it from the official posting for the sgh-t999 todays nightly build)
I was using the wrong cwm recovery (T-mobile S3 touch cwm obtained via cwm website)
Or I just needed to flash twice with wipes in-between to ensure that no files were left over from the stock rom.
Either way, it's working now and I'm glad, thanks for the help c:

Yeah, I much prefer doing it manually only using CWM recovery, I used to use it on my triumph, so all the problems I was having blew me away.
I made a noob mistake... I had a rooted Samsung Galaxy S3 SPH-L710 with the auto brightess being to dim for me. I jumped the gun and installed the "auto brightness" fix for the i9300 without thoroughly researching and finding that it wasn't for my model - DUH! :crying:
My phone will not boot now. I can get into CWM but cannot restore to a backup because apparently it didn't complete correctly and I get a MD5 mismatch error. No backup, no boot, no joy. <more tears>
My plan of action is to download and install the stock ROM using Odin 3.07, then re-root, and reinstall my apps with Titanium Backup. (Then take a new backup that I'll TEST before making any further changes!! )
Does this sound like the appropriate course of action?
Does anyone have a link to download the stock firmware fast? The samsung-updates-com stock ROM for the SPH-L710 is so slow it timed out on me already.
Thanks.
And yes I know I'm an idiot...

Also, you can connect your sdcard to your computer through recovery...then just put any rom on there (doesnt have to be stock) and flash it (full wipe), because it seems as though you've corrupted the /system partition in some way since the the phone starts up at all
No need to go back to stock necessarily
Also, I would suggest that you make a backup of your phone as is now...that way when it get it functioning again you can manually restore your apps and data and any tweaks you mightve had in your build.prop or init.d

I went back into to ODIN and tried bringing back to stock but and it does is reinstall the stock recovery and give me a whole list of "FAILED" messages.

@CNexus, I tried this as well. I actually tried installing your stock rooted 4.3 rom and it just get's stuck on the splash screen. Any advice?
Try again but perform a full wipe (data, internal storage [if nothing important is there], cache, dalvik cache, and system)
No go. I'm going nuts over here. I know I'm a noob this is probably annoying but I want to thank you for your help. So I tried restoring after doing a full wipe and still get the "md5 mismatch". Then I wiped again and trued installing 4.3 and it stayed on the splash screen for over 20 minutes. Aside from flashing a stock tar file on odin, is there another method to fully restoring the phone to stock?

Hey everyone,
I recently updated to GB27 from GA10 and somehow Nova Prime and Swiftkey were removed from my phone. I visited the Play Store to reinstall them but I get the following error:
Error - Couldn't install on USB storage or SD card.
I'm getting along but it's been a pain in the butt. I've looked all over but can't find a solution. Some posts say to unmount the SD card and others suggest trying to delete a file named "smdl2tmp1" but unmounting the SD doesn't help and the named file doesn't exist. Does anyone have a fix for this? Please! I'm tired of the stock keyboard.
You need to flash a stock jb kernel back to your phone. There is issues with the repacks. until we get source always flash the stock kernel back.

Ok, so I'm having the same issues OP was having, but OP never mentioned whether or not he was rooted. Plus mine seems to be behaving a bit differently, so here goes:
I had flashed a GB27 rooted restore ROM to my phone that I found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2191954. Prior to that I wiped and formatted both the USB storage and the SD Card and everything worked great. Yesterday, I used ROM Toolbox Pro to use the root browser to install Mobile Odin Lite so I could put AGAT trec_0.3.2 on the phone so I could do nandroid backups for security purposes. At this point both ROM Toolbox Pro and NOVA PRIME are installed with no issues. Checked phone a minute ago for a facebook update that woke me up and all of a sudden ROM Toolbox Pro is no longer installed, and neither is Nova Prime. It was just installed less than 24 hours ago and I didn't uninstall it. It still shows in the app drawer. Icons are still in place. But when you tap on them, it says "App isn't installed." I try to re-install from play store, and run into this issue. So not only am I having this issue, but apps that were previously installed are simply "disappearing" and then falling victim to this process. I can't find smdl2tmp1.asec anywhere on the phone with any root browser I download, and simply un-mounting and re-mounting the SD Card doesn't work. I can't un-mount or re-mount the USB Storage, only format. Haven't tried this yet. Rebooting the phone doesn't work. Cleared the Delvik Cache and system cache to no avail. Even tried fixing permissions in the AGAT recovery menu and still nothing. Oh, and it seems to only be affecting the apps I've purchased, none of the free apps on my phone seem to be affected in any way...
I don't quite know which kernel to flash and if there is a rooted stock kernel I can install with Mobile Odin Lite... Links and help would be appreciated, because I've been scouring the web for an hour to find a fix and nothing is working. T_T
I found the kernel in zip form here. You can find it through the forums on this site but the link I am posting is a few pages deep so you don't have to go looking. Anyway, just place the zip on the SD card, reboot into recovery, flash the zip, and reboot the phone. This worked for me and it was like a breath of fresh air after being choked for a week. Good luck!

I don't quite understand why you'd want to use a non-stock kernel with a stock ROM... I'm still new-ish to rooting and the things involved, that's for sure. >.>'
Built in tweaks, Overclocking and the reverse, more governors. There are a ton of things.

Ok, so maybe you can answer another question I have that is a bit off of the topic, but:
I just found a setting in the Data Programming mode (##3282#) under the advanced section that states: "LTE Status: LTE: <not set>." What is that about? I thought the phone was WiMax only...?
No idea what it means. It is probably left over files or settings. This phone is WiMax only so those settings will either do nothing or if changed, will mess up your phone.

That's what I figured, just wanted confirmation. Thanks. *tips hat*

So I found out what caused my issues with being unable to install to USB Storage or SD Card. I flashed AGAT_GB27_repack.tar to my device so I could do those nandroid backups... and that has to be what caused the issues because after flashing a stock GB27 kernel to the device it wiped my AGAT recovery tREC_v0.3.2 back to stock recovery... and now the device is functioning perfectly. Could you possibly link me to a kernel that comes built in with some custom recovery so that I can have something like CWM or AGAT, and one that's functioning perfectly by chance? FML. >.>'
Go look in the development forum. We have source built CWM now so that issue is no longer a problem.

I don't know if I'm just blind but all I could find for GB27 was tAGAT + GB27 kernel thing and that resulted in being unable to install to USB or SD Card and made my purchased apps disappear... again. So I had to reflash back to a stock GB27 kernel... I didn't seen any CWM kernels... >.>'

This was all I could find, and I don't know if it's going to work with a stock ROM.

I downloaded the 0.3.0 tar and I'm gonna wait until confirmation that it will work with a stock rooted ROM.

Install 0.3.0. It will work. but use the .zip instead of the tar

Mobile Odin Lite isn't picking up on the .zip, so how do I install this without a custom recovery?
Install a repack then flash the zip

Ok, I did that and all seems to be well for the moment. I'll keep in touch if apps start disappearing again and if I run into the USB/SD Card errors again. Thanks a lot man, I'd thank your last few posts but I'm only limited to 8 thanks per day... >.>'
Thanks for dealing with my noobishness. :3
Some history on my device:
ATT SGH-i317
Android version: 4.1.2
Baseband Version: I317UCALJ2
Running CleanROM ACE 4.8.0
This morning when I woke up, my phone was frozen. No response at all, so I pulled the battery and rebooted it. When the device came back up, all my settings were gone, apps were failing left and right and it was almost unusable. So, I figured I'd try to flash Scott's newest ROM (previously running CleanROM 4.2.5) to see if that cleaned things up.
I was unable to wipe the caches correctly, TWRP tells me that it cannot mount /data and the davlik cache wipe fails. Doing a factory reset doesn't see to do anything either.
So, not wanting to make things worse, I'm turning to you fine folks for some guidance. What is the proper plan of attack here to get whole again?
Ultimately, I'd like to run CleanROM 4.8, be rooted, etc.
Any assistance you can provide would be appreciated.
U have a backup?

And about the twrp thing, just get the most recent one.
What version of TWRP do you have. They are at version 2.5.0.1 now. I'd update TWRP then rewipe cache, delvic cache, factory reset and system.
If possible back up data and then wipe data as well. Wipe them three times each. Make sure your download is good with an md5 check hopefully
they have the md5 posted

Just update two thru goo manger. Just as^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ stated! And hopefully you made a nandroid back. Thru TWRP, that way you could have just restored your back up!!

Ok, that is a solid suggestion. I am running twrp v2.3.1.1
I'll try upgrading that to see if the cache issues go away. Further, at this point I do have backups, but the ROMs creator suggests not using them. So I'm not sure if I will or not.

Wonder why he stating not to use a back up? What Rom you running is the question?? Kinda strange your told not to use a back up!!
If you have a nandroid back up! From a previous version using TWRP. Then it won't ba problem you upgrading you recovery! To the latest version!!

Running CleanROM. He always states to run his ROMs cleanly, no backups.
Updating TWRP to the latest version has enabled me to clear everything and I am setting the phone back up now. Thank you all for your help! :good:
OP
The suggestion to not use backups is likely talking about backups from titanium backup etc.
Not about a full backup of the rom. Scott simply does not want data mixed from a previous build which can cause many issues.
A nandroid backup of your device at a time when the device is running properly, can and will save your bacon at some point in your flashing career.
The nandroid will allow restoration of the device partitions if they become corrupted as your device did.
While you may not know what caused the failure, a full wipe and restore using your clean nandroid backup would save you time and effort. Not to mention data you saved inside of the backup.
It is wise to back up everything, including the EFS folder and modem as well in TWRP.
I'm glad you are running again...and once your set up is completed....backup....IMHO.....g
