[Q] Device update prob - Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

hi guys recently ive been face-in this unique prob wit my note 2 is when i try to update my device i get the following error:- YOUR DEVICE HAS BEEN MODIFIED. SOFTWARE UPDATES ARE NOT AVAILABLE. And also when i go in my settings>About device>Status & at the bottom there is device status & even there it shows MODIFIED. Now the tricky part is that ive not rooted my device nor hav changed any system files.. but ive installed 3rd party apps. Could that be the problem with it???
plz help...
Thanks in advance...

If you have not rooted then you will have to reset your device. This will wipe your device.
I don't kniw if a third party app can cause cause system to read as modified cause that app would have to have Read/write access to System partition.
Anyway on which version are you on? 4.1.1 or 4.1.2?

I installed the update, lost root and haven't been able to run z4root to root my device since then. However this update fixed the problems I had with using gmail exchange servers in the samsung e-mail app. Now I just need to get rooted again and figure out how to disable gmail app notifications.
you tried one click root?
Not yet, I'm at work right now and my work machine is running linux. I was planning on trying it tonight when I got home

I was looking for Sprint specific info but its kind of muttled up in here.
Thanks

I definitely LOST root when I applied the update, I tested and retested with multiple root apps, also I couldn't unroot or root using z4root at all after this, z4root would simply crash. However using oneclickroot on PC I was able to root the device again after the update and I was able to run lcd density and all my other root apps again.
might i ask how you actually pulled this update and zipped it up? Where are ota updates located on the system?
any modem files in this.
I did not lose root when I installed the system update that came OTA. I originally rooted with z4root.
Sent from my SPH-P100 using XDA App
how strange, did you confirm that the update actually installed successfully? I wonder why mine would lose root and yours wouldn't.
IMPORTANT INFO ABOUT UPDATE
If you guys changed your WPA_SUPPLICANT file to allow AD-HOC networks, the update FILL FAIL.
So restore the original/stock WPA supplicant file before you try the update, or itll just fail and made no difference. I'll keep you posted, im going to do the update right now
Also make sure your using STOCK DPI LCD Density or it will fail as well. Its stock 240.
go back in to your about galaxy tab and check for updates and check for new firmware; if it hasn't installed yet then I believe that it should attempt to install again. You can match the new baseband version, build number, and qik version to see if you are running the new update.
it tried to install before OTA but failed due to different WPA_supplicant and LCD Density change (give a buildprop error).
Now im doing the manual update, i just changed the zip to update.zip. Now it seems to be working.
UPDATE COMPLETE: btw, the new sprint logo is CRAP. i liked the original Samsung Logo! anyway to change that back. I'll keep you guys posted on any new things i find.
Ok this does Break ROOT!
If it doesnt break root for you, then the update did not go through. Check your settings "about my galaxy tab".
My update is failing because I'm running a modified Gallery. Like an idiot I didn't backup the original app. Anyone know where I can snag a copy of the stock Gallery3D.apk and .odex?
-edit-
Nevermind... found a modified ROM that was using the stock Gallery app. Just pulled it from that and presto, update applied without errors.
-edit
Hmm... though when it rebooted it said the update failed to apply and I should try again. Though the sprint logo at boot the version numbers tell a different story. Odd.

[Q] .368 OTA software update problem

Hey guys,
I've been trying to update my phone OTA but it keeps saying "Could not update".
The phone downloaded the update, turned off the phone and started updating just to reboot and tell me that it couldn't update.
Do any of you have an idea why this is happening?
Phone details:
Rooted Arc 2.3.3;
3.0.1.A.0.145;
UK Generic (I don't live in the UK though).
I'd appreciate any help, dying to try the new update
Thanks in advance!
Maybe you deleted or disabled some system apps?

I haven't deleted anything other than bloatware off my Arc.
The apps I've deleted were mentioned in the "List of system apps" thread as "Safe to remove".
Other than that.. I've installed Supercharger...
make sure that no manager apps is running, if you still cant find any updates go to manage apps in settings - applications and force stop or clear data and you should get newest updates. Sometimes the downloading bar isnt changing for a few minutes because the server cant get an instant connection.

If you have modded contents, OTA will fail. This applies to removal of any "system" applications. ("system"=that can't be uninstalled via normal method. "root" is required to uninstall such applications).
Hope this helps.

You must wait for your firmware region to be relesead OTA or flash another to your phone. See: General section of the Arc forum, the sticky thread on top -Index of Neo and Arc firmware.
Ps. Most new firmware has been released via PCC, try it!

U can try to reinstall the latest update available for your tablet using LG Suite by clicking update even if no new updates are available I think!
U have the Verizon lte one! I don't know what is the latest firmware for yours, but it should work normally! I don't think you'll lose any files if u don't factory reset, but I'm not sure about this! You'll lose root if you were rooted when u upgrade recovery using LG Suite!
If u are rooted, use titanium backup for backup and easy restore.
And if u have root working for your tablet, then flash a custom recovery if u don't have one and find the latest uploaded LG official KitKat firmware in the development sections and flash it!
Does it happen when you are using a chromecast? When I use play music through the chromecast I was having a similar problem. I am on 4.4.2 with a v500

If this starts to occur and you recently did an upgrade recovery, you should have also done a factory reset after wards. Having recently upgrade recoveried in the LG Tool, I had a nasty loop of system ui has failed that I could only fix by also factory resetting the device.
Incidentally this does seem to occasionally still occur when I use the physical volume buttons with my chromecast.
I have this using chromcast. I have found an easy fix! Just say "ok google "(if u have enbaled it everywhere) and it fixes it!

What ads exactly? Have you tried uninstalling all the unneeded bloatware the phone comes with?

I cannot confirm whether your device is infected by that mentioned kind of malware.. Can I know which country you belong to?
And if your device is infected, presently there is nothing we can do. Lookout clearly said that for a normal user it's better to replace the device with a new one. And for an advanced user who know well about root/system files, can try removing those malware from root level...
Everyone is at risk, dont worry.. Someone will come up with a solution..

Hello
There must be a way to clear the phone completely. A full wipe somehow and start fresh?
If I knew what the files were I'd delete them from root folders. No problems there.

These malwares will not be removed even on full wipe/factory reset or anything. And as I told presently there is no way to remove it. But dont be sure that your device is infected by that one, may be it's something else.., so first you've to check other things, find out if its because of any application installed in your phone!
Remove those suspicious apps, and then check it out..
I removed many apps. But no success.
Any idea on how the malware reinstall itself after a clean wipe?
Sent from my SM-N9000Q using XDA Free mobile app
the malware doesnt reinstall itself.. it simply hides in the system partition which isn't affected my clean wipes.
the only way to remove it is to wipe and restore the system partition.
You could try
http://forum.xda-developers.com/zenfone2/general/asus-zenfone-2-flashing-recovery-mode-t3096596
under 3.1) Rooting Zenfone 2
use method 1
that will flash a clean image to your system partition, albeit with root and its caveats like "DO NOT TAKE OTAs, flash manually"
google is the real criminal...
hi guys..first of all install addons detector from playstore..use it ..it will show you all apps with adv.addons…delete those apps….second go to apps..google..yes..google…that is the main culprit..delete all your stored history…caches..cookies etc…third always browse the web in incongnito mode/do not track mode.whenever there is a pop up on your mobile..see the ad closely ..u will see :i:..press it..it will take you to its source..(google)..follow instructions…and you will be fine !! and last but not least…bless me..!!

what does it mean.. i think wiping out entire partition will sort the issue. re partition you device. or wipe and reflash every partition with fastboot commands
The problem is Gearbest. They do this on almost every freaking phone they sell, and in the case of ZF2, they even make it in a way that you are unable to even update the ROM (it gives error everytime). They do this more notoriously on Xiaomi devices, they just come loaded with adware with no chance of getting rid of it, at least for regular smartphone users.
Anyway, i bought mine last month and the way i did it was this:
Convert the SKU from CN to WW (search here the thread on how to do it)
Flash phone with Asus Flash Tool, i used the oldest available LL build, from 05/2015
Reboot to recovery, connect to PC and update to latest LL build via ADB
Reboot to recovery again and update to the first MM build via ADB
Boot the phone normally, put latest MM firmware zip file on internal storage or sdcard and update via update notification.
There you go, a ZE551ML updated to latest official MM firmware, with WW SKU.
