[Q] Sprint Galaxy Nexus upon activation "update failed"

okay, i searched, i swear i did - i just need a little help, my wife's phone updated to Jelly Bean OTA the other day, and she was playing with mine and saw i was running Codename Android 3.5.0 - she loved the added profiles in settings and wanted me to throw the rom onto her phone, so i did.
now i never had any problem with mine, but hers started up, went through the Google restoration prompts, and then went through the Sprint profile activation as always when you activate a new phone/new rom, except hers said it failed to update the profile.
i'm not as familiar as i'd like to be with PRLs and profile activation and date profiles, so i just went into settings>about phone>Sprint system updates and tried to get it to update the profile, multiple times in fact, but to no avail - it keeps saying it failed on her phone.
i tried mine and it works flawlessly, same set up, same phone, same rom - i took all the same steps to update hers as i did mine and i don't get it.
any ideas?

Wipe cache and dalvik in recovery and fix permissions. Then make sure you have a network connection and update profile. Then power off for 2 minutes when you turn it back on all should be well. This happens to me all the time.

thanks for the reply!
i tried this out, twice, and it didn't work - so i decided to reflash the new radios (FH05 zip) i found on here through clockwork, and BAM! - worked immediately upon reboot of the phone.
seriously thanks for the help though.

I am experiencing this problem too, except a radio re-flash did not work. I'm gonna upload what i'm seeing. I can't send or receive MMS, but data still works.

Phone info setup as a device administrator

Hello,
I have had my phone for a while now, but today was the first time since I got the phone that I looked at the device administrators area (settings / security / device administrators) and I noticed that there was an item called "Phone Info" that was activated by default and after reading about what it is supposed to do, I decided to deactivate it, but I was unable to do so. My questions therfore are:
1.) what is the purpose of this item?
2.) why can I not deactivate it?
3.) is it normal for it to be activated by default?
4.) if is not needed than how do I get rid of it?
In case it helps, my phone is rooted and I am still running the stock 4.1.2 ROM that came with the phone.
A few days ago I tried out the "All In One" 4.3 Stock ROM from Thunder Stick, but it was not working for me to well so I restored my nandroid backup of my original stock ROM so I am not sure If the other ROM has anything to do with it or not or if the setting has always been like that, but as I said before, I just noticed it today and would like to know what it is and how to deactivate it if I can.
Thanks for any and all replies,
Mtcell

Can you post a screenshot?

Here is another one that shows the permissions dialog and where I should be able to deactivate it, but pressing the deactivate button has no effect.

That is weird. I am checking my s3 now but this is all it shows on my optimus G. Maybe it is a Samsung thing?

Edit: here is what my s3 shows under those settings, but remember, my s3 isn't activated. Maybe it is just the activation stuff?

"I think a ducks opinion of me is heavily influenced by whether I have bread or not."

Thanks for the reply. After doing some research I have discovered that it is part of some corporate security thing that sprint has on some of the newer s3's (see the attached screenshot) Anyway, I have frozen the app since there is no way to disable it. That will work for now until I change my stock ROM in a few weeks.
If anyone else has this app setup as a device administrator and wants to disable it than you can use the pro version of titanium backup or the free version of sd maid to freeze the app like I have done. Note, your phone must be rooted to use these apps.

How to re-install

Hey Guy/Gals,
I'm very new to this so bare with me.
I have an LG Optimus E971 from Rogers here in Canada. On the home screen the dock icons are unresponsive. However inside an app at the bottom of the screen the icons work. So I assume this is a software issue and wish to reinstall or re-inject the firmware into the phone. I'm looking a step by step how to on doing this, current version of is 4.1.2.
EXAMPLE:
-Dock icons (icons at very bottom of screen itself) are unresponsive.
-Landscape view works, as the icons move to the side of the screen
-Open app, Instagram, all buttons at bottom work (feed, explore, camera, news, profile).

Nothing? Just ads, huh

If you are not rooted and your bootlader is locked the best way to fix things in my opinion is to hard reset your device(to delete everything from inside that may couse the problem)install lg pc suite from lg and reinstall the phones firmware,this tool has an option to do this l've done it before. If you are rooted and your bootloader is unlocled just flash kdz and do a hard reset after.

Hey thanks for the response. I have done the factory reset and the phone is back to oem spec.
It is not rooted or anything, I will try the lg software I didn't realize I could use this to resintall firmware. I'll give it a shot and report back. Cheers

Are you certain you're able to reinstall the firmware? All I see is that I can Backup/Restore and Update Firmware.
There's no where that says I can re-install the firmware. When I google it only picks up on firmware updates

Yes I am sure I did it my pc is down and I can't tell you exactly where is the option but I can tell you what I remember it's in the upper right corner next to help option or the other one probably and I think it says something about troubleshooting

If you still can't find it maybe you should update the program to the latest version

You're welcome. Sorry I couldn't really help you! And install Magisk the next time after you set up your device and arranged your toggles, maybe this will work if you need Magisk.

Question 9 Pro doesn't have access to all storage?

I'm at a loss here. Updated to c61 today, and it's been goofy. I can't install local upgrade (was gonna try to dirty flash), I can't enable RAM boost (not a big deal), and I can't save cropped pics in the gallery app. I'm not sure if it's related, but apps are randomly cloning themselves, too. Does anyone have any ideas?

it kept freezing and i had to factory data reset. i hate this phone now.

Stay on OOS 11, nothing compares, no custom ROM nor ColorOS comes close. Custom ROMs are riddled with bugs, and COS is the same.

Also, flashing custom ROMs might introduce more issues at times. I flashed one and couldn't update properly. Then my phone broke and can't use T-Mobile MSM, it's permanently set to IN.

the c61 itself has a local update in it, with the c61 you don't need the local update.apk and that the RAM boost can't be activated for you (I think you're rooted) with root I couldn't activate RAM boost either.
just as with the c61 the RAM see your pic and mine is displayed in a different place if you have root, just like then (without root) another menu opens if you press the 12 GB Ram woman then extra RAM (this menu is not there with root )
