Finally JB!
I'm on stock LH9 with root and CWM installed. Would it be safe to apply the update from Samsung-updates through Odin?
Safe meaning not losing info, texts, etc.?
Could care less about losing root.

I know you said you didn't care, but you can keep root by flashing this in Odin. I didn't lose any data.

I posted this in another thread, but thought you might find this helpful:
First of all, I appreciate all the Devs hard work bringing these Roms to us! :good:
I was running rooted UCALH9. Updated to this JB via Odin and all SEEMED good. Problems I had:
1) Play Store FC's - FIX - I went into Application Manager and removed updates for the Play Store app, which reverted it back to the default Play Store app. This fixed my problem. MAKE SURE YOU DO NOT UNINSTALL!
2) Rom Manager - I would get root user authentication error when trying to Fix Permissions. Everything else in Rom Manager worked. No fix at this time.
3) Gallery - None of my pictures were showing up. This is even after clearing caches. I am convinced it's because I can't Fix Permissions, but what do I know... No fix at this time.
Any help would be appreciated!

Search for the .apk files and install them manually?

How do I get em to become system apps? I have the. Apk files but can't get em to work...maybe I have bad apk's? They were given to me so their not my originals,I can't find the originals.
Are you putting them in system/app or are you finding them with a file explorer and trying to install them like a regular app?
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
voice was never a system app so market download will cure that. I'd reflash your selected rom to fix gtalk
I have tried to drop them in system/app but nothing happens, I've also tried to install the normal way, do I need to use terminal emulator to install them? Cuz I don't know how exactly.

I can't download from market or I'd have solved this already ={
Shouldn't have to mess with the terminal to install any apps. Looking at my phone, Google voice is in data/app and gtalk is in system/app. You shouldn't have any trouble installing from the market though, have you tried reflashing the rom that you're on?
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Yeah I tried flashing back but still no talk or voice app, I did get Gvoice back on here but the talk app is the most important. Would it hurt me to just go crazy and drop a copy of it in all my folders and just hope one catches it?
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA Premium App
Well gtalk only belongs in system/app, I don't think it would do any good anywhere else.. What rom are you using? If its an AOSP rom, did you flash GAPPS (googleapps) after flashing the rom?

I have CyanogenMod-7.0.3-Inc I also don't have Verizon though that's what it says. I have cricket wireless and last time I flashed a new ROM it messed up my radio I haven't flashed a new one since getting it fixed cuz I'm obviously not so good with this. How can I know if a new ROM would mess up my radio again
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA Premium App
I'm not sure about cricket, I have seen where people have had to go into EPST settings, etc, to get data and everything working on cricket. If you already have those things configured, flashing a new rom shouldn't revert those changes, but I'm not 100% sure on that. I'd recommend performing a backup first, then if it doesn't work you can just revert to where you were before. Did you flash the Google apps zip after flashing cyanogenmod? You need to do that in order to get certain Google apps that cyanogen can legally not bundle with their rom. I would reflash the rom, then flash GAPPS immediately after the rom (don't reboot THEN flash GAPPS, do it all at once) and you should be fine. And remember, always backup!
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA App
Ok so make a backup, then reflash my current rom AND GAPPS,then reboot? And where can I find the Gapps.zip to flash?
Sent from my ADR6300 using XDA Premium App
Yep, backup, reflash the rom, then immediately after (before reboot) flash Google apps, reboot, then your market should be working fine. Here's a link for the gapps zip http://goo-inside.me/gapps/gapps-gb-20110307-signed.zip

I am unhappy with the Android 2.3.6 update. I want to downgrade to Android 2.3.5. The 2.3.6 update took away my 5.1 ch surround sound, increased RAM usage, causing me to reboot my phone constantly, and decreased battery life. Is there any way to downgrade? Will older downgrading methods work? Excuse me for my amateurness. I am an ex-iOS user.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA App
Downgrading is the exact same thing as upgrading. Just flash the ROM of the firmware you want.
So i can do it with Samsung Kies? If not, can i use Odin but without rooting?

There's a Google music app and a android music app. I'm on mr xs stock rooted ciq free rom and have done a clean wipe and fresh install. I have 5.1 in this and its 236 rom based. It seems kinda dumb to downgrade for your reasoning when you can get the better version and still have what you seem to be missing.

Deebo took your bike too?
I found that there are 2 music applications in 2.3.6. I was using the new one. I am now using the old one with 5.1. Thank you for your two cents. I am now two cents richer. (no hard feelings. I just always wanted to use that line.)

Actually when I upgraded to 2.3.6 I had two music apps as well ... (What it was and I consider it a bug, I had upgraded google music from the market, but when I installed 2.3.6 it saw both the one included and the one I upgraded, it was a bug, I am sure of that)
So if you do not do a wipe when you upgrade you "may" see two music apps in this case, but being a bug, it may not show all the time
I had both google music and android stock music player with both 2.3.5 and 6. Clean wipe on both. New phone, i always factory reset when i get it, then same with update.. What 2 music app are people talking about and what bug?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk
okay so i never installed Google music but its there. i updated it twice already but its still there. i cant delete it. i even factory rest it while on 2.3.6 and its still there. what am i doing wrong. i want to get rid of google music. it opens by itself and eats my battery quicker.
I think no matter what ROM you chose, it would have given you the same results. Maybe out need to go back to basics. Clear caches, and re-apply a ROM.
I couldnt root 2.3.6 and went to 2.3.5 and appkied a 2.3.6 rom and its still there.

You root 2.3.6 the same way you root 2.3.5. It worked for me anyway.
The superuser app was a bit of a pain to flash and didn't always take the first time around. I would have left 2.3.6 on your phone, installed cwm and made a backup and then flashed a 2.3.5 rom. Beats having to odin back to stock and what not.
Just leave the stock updated 2.3.6 version. Flash cwm through Odin, then flash superuser zip file. Its gonna fail couple of times, just keep flashing it.. It will go through just fine, then you have your updated version with root. Non of that BS deodex stock, custom rom..

Must i remove CWM and SU user in order to apply the update properly?

Pardon my ignorance , but this is my first android device , with my first OTA update .. I searched high and low for methods of removing CWM but i''m confused, i saw methods involving using looper.zip , deleting /system/hijack/.. or using mobile odin to install the OTA . I couldnt find looper.zip anywhere, not even on clockworkmod.com . Which method will allow me to keep all my data ?
Thanks for helping this noob.
I just tried Mobile Odin , but same results.. update failed. What can i do?
So it fails when you try flashing stock recovery through odin, not really sure but this maybe you have to flash stock recovery and stock rom for the ota to work. This would cause you to lose your data, there's a thread about how to root a t999v try asking there
Sent from my SGH-T999V using XDA Premium HD app
The phone is rooted already, and i would really like to save my data. What is the best way to remove CWM ? Can i just deleted the files from my phone using ES file explorer + root access ?
Damn I seem to be in the same boat here. Mind you, I do have some apps (bloatware) frozen and even uninstalled. I think that this might be causing the problem. However, Titanium Backup seems to be hanging when I try to reinstall from my backups dammit!
Use kies. Download from samsung and follw directions and it should download and install it for you.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
I know it would work but UCK....I hate Kies. It installs a bunch of crap on your PC.
By the way, THIS IS NOT AN UPDATE TO JB!! Those are merely bug fixes for ICS. It will update from T999VVLALE6 to T999VVLALH2. Lets just say "I have my sources".

91 % discharging , 15m47sec on battery , screen is at 61% , and cell standby is 12%, i seem to recall the cell standby always being much higher, so maybe they did change the framework.
Updating via kies worked, it removed CWM and SU . Still Android 4.0.4 , but with brightness in notification bar.
Touch screen issues still persist in games like Worms, where after a moment they do not respond at all anymore.
T999VVLALH2
Not really worth the update.
In case anyone is having problems still or doesn't want to update through kies you can download the fw from the link below to install with odin.
http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&model=SGH-T999V&pcode=0&os=1&type=1#firmware
You have to register though.
Also appears to only be out for Videotron and Mobilicity.
If anyone has updated and rooted (or even if you havent updated yet) and is willing to grab a copy of the modem let me know.
I'm still looking for both the original and the updated ones from both Mobilicity and Videotron.
Thanks!

Hey thanks alot for those links! I hate Kies and there's no way I was gonna install it on my fresh Win 7 install!
Since it's the first time I'll be updating through Odin, could you tell me if my root and CWM will be preserved? By the way I installed Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper.
CWM will not. It will write its updated stock recovery. I have had both success and failure with ota rootkeeper, but I probably did something wrong when it failed. Should work for you though, just dont wipe data/factory reset before restoring root. Many others reported it working btw.
If you do lose root it shouldnt be a ptoblem to reroot the same way you did the first time.

Sup fellas...
I bought my s3 yesterday which was already rooted on 4.1.1 (Too my surprise:good
The first ROM that i flashed was EUROSKANK. After getting tired of that rom, I flashed ReVolt.
This is when i lost root. = /
Right now I'm Restoring my nandroid to see if this restores root.
Any clarification of why I lost root after flashing a couple of ROM's?
Did you lose root completely or just the SU app?
I've flashed a couple time, and I lose the SU app for some reason. If that's the case then just re download from market.

For some ROM's it's root, for others it's just the app. In either case, hopefully we find a fix.
