So i update to the new Evo update and i get stuck on a black screen with an android guy confused as hell with a triangle...whas mean?
what state was the phone in before u tried to update. was it rooted, custom recovery, completely stock?
...another victim.
You tried booting into recovery, but stock recovery is no recovery, marked by the triangle and red !. If you're still s-off, flash a recovery, CWM or amon_ra, then flash a rom.

That's stock recovery
I would say pull the battery and leave it for 10 minutes or so. Worked for me once in the past. Hope that helps. Good luck!
it was rooted with the newest (nightly) of CM7, i booted into clockwork mod recovery cause i wanted to switch to stock so i could recieve new update. so i cleared all my data then performed a recovery that put me to the stock ROM (rooted) then cleared phone again to have a total fresh install and then searched for the update and downloaded it and tried installing it but its all like, HEY YOU CANT DO THAT DLFJOEIFJDKFJDF. Halp.

Boot into the bootloader, turn your phone off, while turning it on, hold the vol+down key till you see a white screen with androids skateboarding. At the top you'll see either s-on or off; If s-off, reflash a recovery via PC36IMG, then flash another rom.
okay, i am s-off so basically find a stock ROM flash it then check for the update?

No...the rooted stock OTA roms aren't out yet. Probably by the end of the day. Just flash a rom and just coast till now; like I said, virus should have it by the end of the day.
Okay, I mean my phone works and everything I'm just on the stock rooted ROM (previous to the newest 2.3) I'm just a little confused as to how its not letting me update, I thought the fact that i was rooted didn't really matter cause it would just unroot and wipe out everything.
Triangle Update Error
I am getting the same triangle update error. I have a rooted phone using unrevoked 3. My buddie has the same set up and we both are getting the error. We are trying to un-root our phones to a stock rom but neither of us can find one that removes unrevoked root. Can anyone help. I am a web/graphics computer guy. I don't know much about roms.
Thanks,
Nick

Well if you're on aosp, you can't update, you'd have to be on a sense rom. And you should never accept an OTA while rooted, as it can brick your phone, or permanently use root.
i am on a sense ROM its the stock ROM and i just ran unrevoked.
If I root my phone and Tmo sends an OTA update, will my phone still be rooted?
I don't believe you have to reset the flash count for this. But you do need to flash unrooted stock ROM first. Then get the OTA update. After that root again.
Thank you for the response.
I had another phone I rooted and when Tmo tried to push the update, Recovery mode caught it. I could never get the phone out of recovery mode after that. I got rid of the phone.
I don't want that to happen again obviously and why I asked the question. Seems to me, returning to stock, the rerooting might be more trouble than it's worth unless I had some compelling reason to do so.

Here is the easiest method of managing root with this device: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1957720
I like managing the background auto start processes to make my devices run much more smoothly. Which is why I like to root. Back up is another reason.
At this point I believe staying stock while rooted right now would help in the process of unrooting for updates.
There is going to be at least two or more updates. First update to get our multi-window, Swift Key Flow keyboard and other stuff that should of been in our Note 2 devices. Another update that will be enabling our LTE radio (when T-Mobile rolls out LTE). Jelly Bean 4.2 Android OS update should be updated somewhere in between these other updates (possibly at the same time as the enabling LTE update). So you are correct in thinking first before rooting.

So you are saying, root but leave stock. Will the updates require me to unroot to receive them if I leave it stock?
Correct
Root and leave stock just my idea. Makes things easier when unrooting. But that is just my idea.
Always make a backup stock rom to unroot with. Or you can use the stock rom from this thread here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/sho...FIRMWARE] SGH-T889 Factory Image (Unmodified) This is gold here.
After each OTA update you should make a backup of your stock rom as your latest stock rom. We should have a latest version of stock rom posted in our forum. But always best to use your latest backup image for stock rom. Again: This is gold here.
Read the thread that I gave you above.
But yes, unrooting before you can take OTA update. Take OTA update. Then root again.

According to this guy all I need to do is flash the stock recovery, then I can take the update, then just flash Clockwork recovery once the update is taken and by what I think he's saying I don't have to unroot.

Does this sound right?
Flashing stock rom will unroot your Galaxy Note 2. Basically put your Galaxy Note 2 back in to the same unmodified state that you bought it. Then OTA update. Then root.
Yes, I would take the OTA updates for now. They are important.
Also remember to backup your stock rom after OTA update. This will be the new stock rom for you to flash when you need to.
Sorry that I didn't explain what the process of unrooting was with GN2. Didn't have time, while with family. That is why I gave you the links.

the only thing ive done to my phone is root, but i still want the ota updates for multi-window, etc later on.

when you install custom roms doesnt that make ota s moot? or does the device still retain updated functionality when using custom rooted rom ?
It all depends on what is going with the OTA. Some OTA updates might enable hardware that was otherwise dormant. LTE sure would be nice...

No, Voodoo rootkeeper would not work here. Not needed either.
When you root Galaxy Note 2 it sets a "Modified" status to your Galaxy Note 2. As long as your Galaxy Note 2 status is set to "Modified" then you can't get OTA updates. This is why you have to flash Stock ROM back into your GN2. I am hoping and believing that you don't have to reset the flash count for this. At least that was not the case with Sprint OTA update version. The OTA updater just checks if you are unmodified or modified. If you are modified then the updater will tell you that you can't update because you are "Modified". Again this is the reason for flashing the Stock unrooted ROM. Once you flash Stock ROM then you will have "Unmodified" status. That is when you will be able to get OTA updates.
Please get the Stock recovering ROM and be ready to flash it when OTA update is ready.

Yes, root disables the updates through the status of "Modified". In fact when you try to update it says that you can't update because your GN2 is "Modified". But there are reasons that people want OTA updates: If you want your Multi-window feature, Swift Key Flow keyboard w/ S pen write to text, etc then you want the OTA update. If you want the LTE enable when T-Mobile rolls out LTE, then you want OTA update at that time And I can go on....
That is why people are asking these very good questions.
And in either case, within 24 hrs of any updates being released we'll have that rom in a .zip here on xda pre-rooted and ready to flash. I don't mess with counters, rooting/unrooting, etc... It'll be here!

Firstly messing with counters is mostly likely not needed. So that should not be a worry. Just to be noted.
Secondly, I hope that you are correct on that. But I been there thinking that community would do so but didn't. And least not for a while. And when they did found ways around to root again, it was not the way we wanted it. So I learned to not to put all my eggs in one basket.
Flashing Stock recovery ROM, taking the OTA updates, then root again is one of the baskets that all should have. If you don't need then no harm done. But if need and don't have it then harm done. A solution to the problem until another solution comes by.

I was wondering this as well. In the past I have had success with getting updates and using apps that required root by simply using the Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper app, but I don't know if it will work on this particular phone or not.
I suppose it's worth a shot to at least try when an update rolls around because if it works it's a lot easier than flashing back to stock and re-rooting again.
*Edit: Ah never mind, saw JaguarXT's reply saying it won't work. In that case I think I will hold off rooting the Note II for the time being.

I am currently rooted and do not show the "Modified" status. I am also able to check for OTA updates. I believe it is bad information like this which is allowing people to feel it's OK to run amok with their phones. I feel this promotes the "need" for ROMs when most users could simply sit down with a launcher and customize it exactly the way they want it without a custom ROM. Now if I was getting some amazing battery life, or additional functionality that I can't live without, I might look at a ROM or two, but this isn't a Nexus, and stock\rooted\personalized works for me.
For those wanting to ROOT only, and that would be my recommendation, follow these instructions and STOP where he says STOP HERE.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1975560
Here is a couple of screen shots of what I was talking about. After stock recovery ROM no more "Modified" and can accept updates. Only after rooting get "Modified". Right I am rooted for backup and for AutoStarts app. But I did tried methods and know what works.
This is the method I know and tried of going back to stock and ready for OTA.

That's exactly where I am in all this. I plan NO custom roms because I'm sick of my phone not working.
I just want to do a few things that require root on the stock rom and for the things I want, I don't need a custom recovery.
So I rooted my Note II but I left the stock ROM on the phone, and AT&T just pushed a big OTA update. What steps do I need to be able to install an OTA update now? After a bit of research, it seems I need to unroot? I've just never had to do this before because I usually just use custom ROMs, but on the Note I wanted to leave the stock ROM in place.

I used MrRobinsons' root injected ROM which was UCAMA4 (I think) and left the recovery alone, used the root access app that I bought to keep root. I did not remove any AT&T apps and was able to update to UCAMC3 without any problems. And the app that I bought kept my root access.

Well -ALL- I did was root, install clockwork recovery, and Super SU. So I'm wondering what I need to do to be able to install an OTA update now, because I currently cannot.
It is my understanding that you must leave the recovery stock. I have also read that you must leave the AT&T apps in there but I am not sure about that. So if you want the update go back to stock then update then change your recovery.

No idea, it's a ~65mb update that just came up yesterday for me. I was looking to reset my phone back to factory anyways lately, so I just decided to do it now on account of there being an update. Since it's not working anyways, I might just re-root and flash a custom ROM, but then I lose S-Pen functionality, but I don't use the pen much these days anyways.
The update has two possibilities...
Either it's the latest UCAMC3 update for UCAMA4.....or...
If updating from the UCAMA4 to C3....and the update has an interrupt...or errors....it "can" complete the update process and show a finished status...but will prompt the user again later and download the update again....minus the updater files placed to cache....because they already exist...
I've had this happen twice in so many months as I returned to stock for various reasons...
The file size is roughly 65 meg.....while the complete update is 68.86 meg..
Just take the update...as it's the UCAMC3 minus the updater...g

if you would like to run a 4.3 stock ROM, there are a couple in the development section that you can choose from without having to run the 4.3 boot loader that contains KNOX. That way you don't have to go through the unroot process to accept the OTA.

Relax . You do not have to update. You do not have to lose Root. Check out THIS thread. It will explain a few things to you in detail about Updates, and how to stop the update nag. If you want to update to the latest TW 4.3 Stock Rooted, check out the thread HERE. Just make sure you read, and read again before doing anything. Also make sure to download the correct Rom. There are several versions on the thread.

I actually want to update to stock 4.3, and I was trying to achieve that by getting the OTA update.
And i was wondering if i can still do that?
If I simply can't then I'll just go to CM instead of getting other rooms since I used to have them with my old HTC.
Thanks again
If you want completely Stock Rooted 4.3, it's the second link I posted for you. It's the Stock, Rooted, Factory Rom, with Knox removed. All done by CNexus . Just be sure to read before doing anything. As there are several versions posted. I would highly suggest going this route instead of taking the OTA update. Once you take the OTA you will have Knox, and a different bootloader.

I recently rooted my phone, Samsung Galaxy S4 SGH-M919, and I edited the build.prop folder to get soft keys on my device. After I restarted my phone, the wallpaper changed to all black and about every 5 seconds I would get a message saying "Unfortunately, System UI has Stopped" so then I Un-rooted my phone through SuperSU and i still ended up getting the same problem. So then I decided to Factory Reset my phone, and afterwards the problem still didnt go away, I still got the same annoying message. I don't know what to do, please help ASAP, Thanks.

That build.prop edit doesn't work on TouchWiz. From my research I saw that Sammy gutted the framework for the soft keys, so enabling them on TW causes nothing but problems. AOSP is the only way to have the real-deal soft keys.. you can use LMT on TouchWiz, although, to me, the whole pie thing is clunky compared to having dedicated soft keys.

Yes if you flash the stock ROM you'll get the original unedited buildprop.
If you made a nandroid backup, restore it(nandroid backup saves headaches ) If not you need to use Odin to flash the original firmware. What firmware are you on, mdl (4.2.2) or mk2(4.3)?

I'd think that you could use adb to pull the build.prop, edit on your computer, then push the build.prop back... I mean, doing a restore would work, but I'm thinking of how to not lose your data.

Go to sammobile.com to find the M919 UVUEMK2 firmware.
Follow this thread. It's for returning to 4.2.2, but the premise is the exact same for restoring official 4.3 as well. Just use the newest version of Odin and instead of flashing the UVUAMDL tar, use the one you just downloaded from sammobile.

Okay, I'm in the process of downloading the firmware. I also had another question. When I go to my phone's software update to check, for an update it says "Your device has been modified. Software updates are not available" and the device status is "Custom" even though I'm not rooted anymore and If I flash the original stock ROM, will this go away, and return to its normal state?

On that note, I don't know for 100% certain but I do believe that will stay. Perhaps someone else can confirm if Triangle Away will at least remove that aspect on 4.3; I know it won't touch your KNOX counter but I'm uncertain if it does anything for your flash counter.
All that device status: Custom means, aside from warranty being void is you can't update via Kies or OTA; but you can still update (when an update is released) by downloading the firmware and flashing via Odin OR using a custom recovery and a flashable zip.

Its still on modified because you altered system files.. Once you restore it should go back to normal
