My buddy just installed one on his sprint s3 and his phone is asking to update
How do I help him fix it?

There is a sticky in the General Sub-forum that covers this in detail. Please go over there.
Appreciate it... never realized how good we have it on tmo lol
tell him accept the update, when it tries to go into the stock recovery, the update will fail and all will be good

Read my FAQ, that doesnt work for all
Random times it'll go through and random times it'll fail
@OP
Best advice now that he already took the official update would be to just reroot (same rooting method as for LJ7) and start fresh

Ah ok then, go into google frameworks (in Settings > All Apps) then clear data
Then go into /cache and delete any update files still there and reboot
EDIT: Is he on MA6 OR MB1 now?
If hes on MA6 I would just go into the build.prop and replace all instances of MA6 with "MB1" then save and reboot and no more OTA notification
---------- Post added at 03:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:46 PM ----------
Also, for your tmobile roms do you know how they prevent it? Do they just turn off checking in with google, or remove the update app? Would be good to know so I can update my FAQ haha

Hello guys,
I have a problem with my Galaxy Google Nexus GT-I9250 ! Of course, the update for 4.3 JB came up on my phone. When I pressed the button to install it, after a few second the installation stopped. It said : "Installation aborted" and then "Signature Verification Failed" . I tried to search through the other forums and threads, but as I`m a kind of a newbie with that technology I would be really pleased if someone explain me how to fix that, maybe, silly problem.
Oh, and also what is this thing named OTA.zip ?
Thanks.
It's exactlly the same thing that's happening to me
I opened a new thread but didn't include that detail, but it cant update.

In my case I bought it like this, how can i know if something is not stock?
you mean i have to go back to stock and flash it again through Odin?
I saw a post from someone here showing how to do that, but i wasn't quite sure either...

depends on if you changed something else. if you just have root, no. but if you installed busybox, i know it modifies some system files
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1626895
follow that. easiest way to go back to stock. if you dont want to lose you data, just dont flash userdata.img
DONT USE ODIN.

In a short answer, yes. The OTA update needs to verify that the software on your phone matches what it needs to update. This is why you will get a "signature verification failed" message. If you phone is encrypted, the OTA updater will not be able to verify that software. Decrypt your phone, once complete goto settings - about phone - system updates and retry to download and install the OTA update.
---------- Post added at 10:40 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:38 AM ----------
Let's keep this simple guys... If you want the OTA update to work properly and reliably you must be completely stock. No root, no mods, no encryption, no nothing! Most people having issues with the OTA not working fail to mention some little mod they installed making them not "completely stock".

Sorry for my ignorance here again man
but, how do I do that, do you mean i have to factory reset the phone..?
Everything went successfully! Thank you all friends!! :highfive:
so i have been working on my friends phone for a while now and cant get anything to flash to it.after an ota update it bricked.i tried to redo his phone because he did not have insurance and it wasnt under warranty.but i tried everything on here and i get nothing odin says no pit partition sometimes so i tried finding a fix for that.but after reading on here yesterday im wondering if im flashing the wrong sprint s3 files.are the files the same for the android it came with and the ota it got 2weeks ago? im guessing it was 4.2 and the ota was 4.3 since thats what was rolling out to the phones

Have you read THIS thread about Knox?
yes i can get to dl mode at first when i got it that was all i can do then i flashed files with oden and it went away i guess it soft bricked it but i built a jig and it was now without the jig.... just wondering if i need to use mk3 files not md4
If mk3 OTA was accepted Knox will not allow any previous versions to install... as I understand it

I see what you mean. In other words its not KitKat. But could this update be the first step in getting KitKat soon? Whan do you think tmo will release it?

The new NC2 firmware might be a reaction to solve this vulnerability. If we saw this little fella, then T-mobile is still interested in keeping our phone updated. Last month Samsung USA talked about their KitKat plans in the USA which includes the GS3. So it could go either way since it depends on the carrier (T-mobile in our case) approving the update. I read the international GS3 KitKat rollout starting between April-May in a leak released days ago, so we'll have to keep our eyes peeled.

Appreciate the heads up. I'm not rooted yet. But I'm thinking about rooting with root66. Do you think that if I update to this update now that I can still root my phone later with root66 without any issues?

I don't suggest CWM, it once deleted my internal SD without me touching anything and borked the internal clock back to 1970. I replied to your post here.

It didn't root mine, but it didn't brick it. Device status is custom.

Man, that is some shady looking **** right there. Let me know how it goes haha.
Tried root it failed on me.
My guess is as of right now it only works for the N920AUCU1AOGG firmware, it is the original firmware that came when the phone was introduced. Now everyone is rocking the N920AUCU2AOJ1 firmware that came out some time in between September - December.
If you search for the firmware available in chimera root tool, the one they have is the original one OGG. I guess the only way for this to work is to downgrade then run the utility.

Getting the same myself.
maybe I'll try the unroot option after my 3 hours runs out? don't see much harm in hacking this thing up anymore...
factory reset via recovery and restoring from smart switch did nothing. other than wipe away my screen and app drawer settings :'p

package Disabler pro is your friend for the security warning thing. just disable security log agent

I have that exact same thing happening on my device as well. It is as if they pushed an update but did not complete the install or has some left over files that are causing confusion.
