[Q] Videotron OTA firmware update, can'T install?

I just woke up to find my videotron sgh-t999v received the OTA update , but when i tried to install it , it rebooted to CWM , and then failed?
Must i remove CWM and SU user in order to apply the update properly?

Yeah for ota you gotta have stock recovery and I got that update was hoping it was jb update lol

Pardon my ignorance , but this is my first android device , with my first OTA update .. I searched high and low for methods of removing CWM but i''m confused, i saw methods involving using looper.zip , deleting /system/hijack/.. or using mobile odin to install the OTA . I couldnt find looper.zip anywhere, not even on clockworkmod.com . Which method will allow me to keep all my data ?
Thanks for helping this noob.

I just tried Mobile Odin , but same results.. update failed. What can i do?

So it fails when you try flashing stock recovery through odin, not really sure but this maybe you have to flash stock recovery and stock rom for the ota to work. This would cause you to lose your data, there's a thread about how to root a t999v try asking there

The phone is rooted already, and i would really like to save my data. What is the best way to remove CWM ? Can i just deleted the files from my phone using ES file explorer + root access ?

Damn I seem to be in the same boat here. Mind you, I do have some apps (bloatware) frozen and even uninstalled. I think that this might be causing the problem. However, Titanium Backup seems to be hanging when I try to reinstall from my backups dammit!

Use kies. Download from samsung and follw directions and it should download and install it for you.

I know it would work but UCK....I hate Kies. It installs a bunch of crap on your PC.
By the way, THIS IS NOT AN UPDATE TO JB!! Those are merely bug fixes for ICS. It will update from T999VVLALE6 to T999VVLALH2. Lets just say "I have my sources".

I also wonder if they fixed the incorrect value in the framework for "cell standby"...

91 % discharging , 15m47sec on battery , screen is at 61% , and cell standby is 12%, i seem to recall the cell standby always being much higher, so maybe they did change the framework.
Updating via kies worked, it removed CWM and SU . Still Android 4.0.4 , but with brightness in notification bar.
Touch screen issues still persist in games like Worms, where after a moment they do not respond at all anymore.
T999VVLALH2
Not really worth the update.

In case anyone is having problems still or doesn't want to update through kies you can download the fw from the link below to install with odin.
http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&model=SGH-T999V&pcode=0&os=1&type=1#firmware
You have to register though.
Also appears to only be out for Videotron and Mobilicity.
If anyone has updated and rooted (or even if you havent updated yet) and is willing to grab a copy of the modem let me know.
I'm still looking for both the original and the updated ones from both Mobilicity and Videotron.
Thanks!

Hey thanks alot for those links! I hate Kies and there's no way I was gonna install it on my fresh Win 7 install!
Since it's the first time I'll be updating through Odin, could you tell me if my root and CWM will be preserved? By the way I installed Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper.

CWM will not. It will write its updated stock recovery. I have had both success and failure with ota rootkeeper, but I probably did something wrong when it failed. Should work for you though, just dont wipe data/factory reset before restoring root. Many others reported it working btw.
If you do lose root it shouldnt be a ptoblem to reroot the same way you did the first time.

So if i flash a official stock rom from another region, and then run triangle away I should be able to receive ota or update through kies?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app

Yeah. You can get ota for any rom of any region till you have a normal system status.

No. You need the appropriate CSC for that firmware also.

What do you mean appropriate csc ?

Canadian note 2s 4.1.2 update

So the 4.1.2 update is out. But I have root. This will remove it correct? and does anyone know if it has multi window?
Sent from my SGH-I317M using xda app-developers app

Any idea if it includes the subsequent BMA updates that fixed the various issues introduced by 4.1.2 (ie: poor battery life)?

Bell 4.1.2 is here!
As of 2 am I got the update notification!

Damn! This update has turned on my haptic feedback....
Only in the stock internet it seems. Cant shut it off!

Any way to keep root while updating through odin?
Or can I root it again with odin cfroot.
I am just frightened by triangle away.
Any comments?

Got it. Copied the update.zip from cache (showed as 0.0 mb. But 230 mb after copying)
had to boot into recovery, install the update that way. And I used ota root keeper (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.projectvoodoo.otarootkeeper) to back up and restore root. Cheers.

So version 4.1.2 finally came out in my region.

And my phone is rooted so I can't update via the phone itself. This is my first android phone and I am not sure what to do in this instance. Do I have to unroot, update via phone, and then root again? Or is there a way to just update the device and root again without needing to unroot it to begin with?

Anyone? I really don't want to go with the process of unrooting if I don't have to.

I use Kies to upgrade to 4.1.2 from a 4.1.1 root device. I just put the phone to 100% charging, and launch the upate from Kies. It's a long process, there is one rather quick download, about a minute without any activities, a windows UAC message, and another very slow download (about 2hours), and finally, a firmware copy on phone and upgrading. After that, i root again using CF-autoroot. I don't wipe or unroot before, and don't loose data after.

You can't update via kies if you are rooted because your device status is modified and your binary is counted so you have many choice try mobile odin pro from playstore the best

So Odin pro will allow me to update my rooted device?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk HD

Yes. Download the entire ROM for your region and then flash it using Mobile Odin Pro. You can also set the option to root the ROM after flash since when you flash a stock ROM you lose root. There are threads specific for Mobile Odin where you can get more details. All the best...

OTA is not possible with root, but you can update with Kies desktop even with a root phone, like i do. For me, it's the best choice, i have a branded Orange phone, and the 4.1.2 rom is the one provided by Orange, with their start/stop animation, wallpaper and system apps (TV/Deezer and so on). The only backdraw is that you must wait for your carrier to make the rom, the Orange France 4.1.2 came only last week. But finally it came, and i'm happy with the 4.1.2, no battery drain bug, i guess the exynos bug is patched, multi-window and notification toogle button editing. Not a revolution but a nice update.

need to unroot

hi looking to unroot before selling and im unsure what is latest firmware if anyone can help,im on orange(ee)uk,thanks:good:

Hi tonybhoy, I don't know what the newest version is but you can update to the newest stock firmware using Kies. It will completely wipe and unroot your phone. However, keep in mind that it will not reset the flash count in Odin mode.
