This is the first time I have used Kies to update a phone. My GF doesn't want to root her phone. I used kies, everything looked like it went fine but we only get to the homescreen and afer 3 or 5 seconds her phone just reboots itself. Is there anyway to fix this?
Can I reupdate manually using a External SDcard or something?

THis will work but she'll lose all her data and I didn't back it up. Is there a way I can reapply a update ZIP through recovery?

I'm sorry for not being able to do all the research myself, but my GF has to meet her parents somewhere, we can't even call them with this problem. Would this method delete her data or just restore Jelly Bean on it?
What is the official model for ATT JB? Is this the stock JB?

Thanks guys. I'll give this one a try. I just need to put the phone in download mode and update using the UNROOTED_ATT_i747UCDLK3
It should probably just reapply the update over again and hopefully fix things and keep her root. I hope this is the quickest fix.

Yes, she is not rooted, she doesn't want her flash counter going up, etc.
ok that one wont trip it but if that is why she doesnt want root triangle away app will reset it
Problem didn't get fixed... I just don't get what could be wrong with the phone. It starts up fine, and for abotu 10 seconds it's fine but then something gets opened that must cause it to reboot. I don't know what service could be causing it to reboot. I wish I could at least backup all her data before the damn phone reboots itself.
download the stock ics firmware odin it that might work but you will probably still bootloop factory reset might be the only answer

Thank you so much for trying to help me through this. I really should have backed up her data, but I thought it was KIES and I wouldn't have to worry about any stupid problems happening.
First question is, is there anyway I can retrieve and backup her data without rooting? I know it's a longshot, but in recovery can I connect to ADB or something and extract stuff?
Second question, is there a update.zip of the jelly bean I could possibly give a try? I can still put and install update.zips through an external SD card.
I'm going to give the ICS firmware a try, hopefully it retains her data, but I've never downgraded before in hopes of keeping data. I just need to backup her text, phone, apps with kies and try teh update again.

screw it... I rooted her phone, I think this is the only way I can fix it. So I am going to try and make a back up using recovery, then factory reset, format system data and then try restoring her phone. I'll let you know how that goes.
Is there a sticky here that gets your phone back to stock and resets the counter? Or does rooting not affect the counter?

Root it. Use Triangle Away to reset counter and get rid of the triangle too. Also you could always Odin flash the firmware. Doesn't delete data... Done the same with my I9300. Wanted the XXELKC firmware and didn't delete data. Also worked with GF's I9305.
Its free on XDA from Chain fire and requires Super User. After doing that you can Odin that latest firmware and it'll be on stock.

No. You have to either Odin to EC05 or flash ReRFS ROM and stock recovery. Unless that forces the phone to download and install the stock ROM. Sprint tried that with my phone and it did not work properly.

If you're trying to get him back to stock, your best bet is Odin EC05 and let it update OTA to EI22. A factory reset won't lose root, but that may be your problem...depends on why you want to return to stock. If it's to get it fixed by taking it into a store, they'll either see Superuser, or there are a variety of other ways to see if a phone is rooted or not.

Odin will wipe SU and any indication from the phone itself.
Its the tell-tale signs on your SD card they might see... keep your sd card or remove files like "clockworkmod" and the like.

Yup, recovery is what I was thinking about, but that's just one thing. As tony said, go through your SD card too. There are traces of root (not literally) all over the place there! Not only the 'clockwork' folder, but also the 'Titanium Backup' folder if you have one, and really, about any zip files that aren't 'update.zip'.
If you're super paranoid about it, you could also set up another Google Account to link that with your phone. If you've bought apps with specific root capabilities (Titanium Backup for example), they could see it on your Google Account.
That piece is only if you're super paranoid, but just an idea. This way, after you Odin (which replaces CW recovery with stock recovery), you can login with the 'other' Google account and you'll have virutally zero apps associated with that account. I would probably throw a few games on there, maybe import a few contacts, just to be safe.
I doubt any Sprint employees would go to this length, but if you literally wanted to cover all your bases, this is where you would start.
OK the thing is every time I do a backup rom on my gnexus and re-start my phone my phone got stock on the loop in the boot screen logo so I have to go back to recovery and try to recovery my backup but my backup got stock on the data saying data can't not be recovery... so guess what, I have to do... I have to start a new rom if I want to use my phone but is not all when I have a new rom and my phone start automatic download my apps for the market my phone start rebooting by him self... so can anybody tell me what is going with my phone o

That is quite a strange issue. I would fastboot flash your recovery, bootloader, radios, and stock rom. See if you can get everything back to normal. Check in your dev section (GSM or CDMA) for the guides.
so do u think i can use the odin to restore my phone to the original status and maybe will fix my phone ??? If I do the Odin do I have to root my phone again?

Use fastboot, it's safer, and yes, you will have root again. But when things get really screwy on my device, it is nice to start everything fresh.

do as he says
forget ODIN, fastboot is better, safer and Google supported.
my guess is that OP is suffering file from system corruption? that would explain bad nandroid?
@OP, if you copy nandroid backup to PC, can you access it just fine? There was even a dev that created an app that allowed for browsing of nandroid backups.
Ok guys thanks I'll try the fast boot and let u guys know if work

Hey guys, first time Android user here.
I got my phone on release day...a few weeks later I decided to root it. Went very smoothly with no issues, then I accepted an update and lost the root so now when I try to root again I always end up with all kinds of stop errors. Anyone have any thoughts on why that might be? Ive tried restoring my phone to factory settings and rooting but it makes no difference, always blows up with error after error.

No sir, just used the reset tool built into the phone....are you saying I need to find the stock firmware and load it through ODIN first?
I would strongly suggest using the ODIN method back to to stock, and then start your rooting process again

Ok just finished step number one (flashing stock rom) and its the same outcome that ive been getting. As soon as the phone comes on this error pops up unfortunately the process android.process.acore has stopped and it just pops up every ten seconds.
Try clearing you contacts cache, under application manager.
That helped me when I got this error. Never got it again.

Dang.... Wish this conversation was 2 days ago. I had the same exact error after trying to get root, I had to pull battery and do factory reset from stock recovery then flash stock with root and flash the OTA to end up where I wanted to be! . Oh well we live and learn right!

Hi Everyone,
So my phone finally is acting up, specifically the micro usb port no longer is functioning properly. It doesn't charge, when it charges its 1 percent per half hour, random s-mode activations etc. Im trying to return it back to stock but unfortunately the stock rogers rom file is not available on scroslers server. Also i did follow the tutorial ' how to clear flash count etc' did all the instructions, i am now unrooted, triangled away, and everything but under the status it still says modified. I think this is because i still have cleanrom and perseus installed, is there anyone that can help me with this.
Thank you
Edit: So i finally found out that bell/rogers are same files , gotta edit CSC or something else (gonna read up), so im going to reroot, reinstall twrp, and then install the stock rom, and then after repeat the process, I hope that solves it.
Main question: After doing the 'how to clearn flash count/unroot/ ' why does it still say im modified? Is it cuz of clearn rom still being on it?
Edit 2: OK so i found at least for now its the wire thats giving me the problem so i replaced that. THanks scy for the input, will keeep that in mind next time i have to do it, hopefuly i dont have too since its a pain in the...
Ok odin flash stock rom. Reroot, triangle away. Then factory reset.

I dont know all the proper terms so please bare with me lol. I ended up purchasing the Samsung watch in December. I have the S4 for Metro PCS. Metro didnt release the 4.3 update til the end of Dec. I went ahead and changed my phone with the help of some people online to T Mobile 4.3 Now that Metro released it I was wondering if anyone could help me go back to my Metro rom for my phone. I backed everything up when I changed over to T Mobile. I just have no clue how to put metro back on my phone. Any help would be wonderful!

Do you remember what recovery you had when you made a backup? You should be able to restore to it without having to wipe data.
No clue. All I know is I backed it up to my SD card that I put into my phone so I know where the backup would be if I needed it.
Anything?
You go to Custom Recovery, then go to back up and restore setting, then choose restore from sd card, if it's not there try choosing restore from external .
