Hello
I have Galaxy S3 (ATT), currently i'm stuck at 4.1.1. I can't update to 4.1.2 or 4.3.
I had my phone rooted by the Galaxy tookkit.
What I tried so far is.
1) recovered recovery back to stock (rooted stayed), update failed
2) used the toolkit to remove root, also removed busybox and superuser, toolkit put the clockwork recovery back in., update failed.
How can I update to 4.3?

I used this thread to get back to stock so my flash counter would be reset back to 0 - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2363882
Then I used KIES recovery to reflash 4.1.1 just to be sure it was exactly what Samsung intended.
Then when i checked for OTA update (while on 4.1.1) it found one and took a while to download. When it installed the update, it was already to 4.3 - i guess it skipped the 4.1.2 official update.
I then did a master reset from the settings menu and deleted everything so that 4.3 could start fresh. I haven't had any problems with the stock 4.3.
Goofy? Did u try the ota to get to 4.3

Thanks will try that, you did a factory reset prior to flashing this?
At work now, so can't download the files, but will try it later.
What did you use to backup your files?

I didn't factory reset before flashing because i knew that when I use KIES to do a recovery it will erase everything on the phone. However, I did wipe cache and dalvic in recovery beforehand... well, come to think of it, i probably did also wipe data before flashing the 4.1.1 that resets the flash counter.
Regarding backing up my files, I have all the files I need on an external sd card so all i have to do is take out the card. Plus, I also use Google Drive to store my pictures as I take them with the camera. no real need to back-up things because things are saved somewhere else, and not directly to the phone. I will probably use the phone storage more now, though since I won't be flashing anything for a while. Taking a break from flashing.
Hope it works out for you.

have you ever tried Helium? I was planning to use that for backup of my apps data.
last time I recovered/flashed phone was with Windows Mobile... so yeah really behind with all of this.
So if I first use helium for backup and then do factory reset, then flash the stock 4.1.1.
I know google account has all my contacts and calendar.
After I have the stock 4.1.1 back I should be able to update to 4.3 and from there restore the backup?

Never used Helium. I have use Titanium Backup before. It's widely used for backing up app data. You can get it in the Play Store. Make sure you don't try to restore system data - it will cause all kinds of trouble. I don't usually restore app data anymore - well, now that I'm on stock I can't, anyway. I always had some kind of issue, whether it be small or big, when I restored data. who knows, maybe I wasn't doing it exactly right.
I'm not sure if restoring apps from 4.1.1 to a 4.3 base would be safe or not. remember, if you try, that means you'll have to root the 4.3 and that will trip your warranty bit count off of zero, so if you're concerned about warranty, you shouldn't root. (if you upgrade to 4.3 stock, you can go to download mode and see that they now have included two flash counts: one to count custom binaries (that can be reset) and the other one called warranty bit, that no one here knows how to reset yet.)
according to Helium, it doesn't require root. I will make a backup just in case, just want my angry birds progress...
still at work, so I can't download the file (yet), so how exactly does this work, since it says you don't need odin?

After you download it, make sure it's on your internal sd card in the phone. Boot into ClockWorkMod recovery, wipe data/factory reset, clear cache, clear dalvic from the advanced menu, then flash the zip. that's it. near the end of the flash it will ask you if you want to keep root. i chose no since I knew I was going to be update to the official release. I've heard of people having problems trying to update OTA with root.
Just make sure that updating to 4.3 is what you want because it will limit what you can do with the device after you have the new bootloaders.
I just recently rooted my phone using the newest root method for the 98.30.1 build. The phone was rooted successfully, but for some reason now, the Google Play Services crashes occassionally with a message on the phone that it stopped responding. I was wondering if anyone else if experiencing any issues with Google Play Services. Although this started to happen shortly after I rooted my phone, I don't believe the issue is related and is most likely being caused by something else. Anyone have any insight or solution to this?
Also, I was wanting to restore my phone to factory default, but was wondering if after I restore the phone, will I need to rerun the root tool to re-root the phone and/or reinstall the SuperSU app? I was thinking that the su binary and busybox are stored on the /system partition, so they shouldn't be affected, but would I then just need to install the SuperSU app from the Play Store? I am wondering if I would need to re-run the root tool or just install SuperSU from the app store for the phone to be rooted properly after a factory restore. Thank you in advance
Have you tried a safe boot?
PM notification is not on by default, btw.

Thank you for the quick response. I haven't tried safe boot yet, but I will definitely try it. Right now, I wiped the cache partition via stock recovery and am seeing if Google Play Services crashes again.
If I do decide to do a factory reset. What are the steps I need to do to ensure I keep root or can root again? I wasn't sure if I just do a factory reset and rerun the root tool, or do I just factory reset and install SuperSU through Play Store, or do I need to user OTARootkeeper to temporarily unroot and then factory reset and restore root? Just cautious to not mess up my phone. Thanks for all your help!

Or use SS Bootstrap as it gives you more options like BU before you wipe.
Hi,
When i open my Update Center app and click on Applicatie update then crash the app right the way . My phone is rooted. How can i fix this problem ? Thanks
I had this problem when I flashed new system through TWRP, I think it is because there is missing some stock LG apps that you had before, the only thing worked for me was to do a factory reset and then restore my apps/data via TitaniumBackup.
Any solution to this?
I accidentally formatted my phone and update center stopped working. Is there any way to reinstall it?
I did a factory reset after format and still doesn't work, just force closes after clicking any option.
Rooted T-Mobile TWRP installed.
Sent from my LG-D851
i have a tmobile lg g3 as well, and i wiped everything in twrp (hoping to get a clean install, which i did) and flashed a stock based debloated rom. So far everythings great, but the update center crashes... any solution?
Hello all,
I recently bought a LG G3 used as a Christmas present to myself. I've just set it up and noticed that SU installed fine from my playstore account, and after verifying I see that it's already rooted. Is there some way to tell if it's also been set up with a custom recovery as well? I have pending system updates and would like to go ahead and install, but not if it's going to soft brick the phone.
Or is there no way to safely install system updates with just root, and I need to completely wipe to stock anyway?

Download an app from Play store that let's you reboot in recovery mode like Quick Boot (Reboot) and check for yourself.
As for the updates you must be completely stock and unrooted if you want to install OTA Official system updates.

Download 4 way reboot app from the playstore and then use it to reboot into recovery. If it goes into TWRP you've got twrp
You might also install "root checker". Then you'll know for sure if its rooted or not.

Thanks everyone for the quick knowledge. Downloaded root checker which confirmed I'm rooted, and downloaded 4 way boot which shows I have stock recovery.
Since I need to be completely stock to install OTA's, what's the recommended way to go back to stock? I would prefer not to have to do a complete wipe, but it’s not the end of the world if it’s needed.

Download your desired firmware and flash with LG Flash Tools 2014.
Follow the guide in this post : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2785089
It has options for normal flash without losing data and a CSE Flash for a fresh format. Although I strongly recommend doing the full wipe CSE Flash Option and a factory reset from stock recovery after flash so you won't have any problems - best experience. Good Luck.

i still not using any custom rom yet it's the same rom come with device from HTC
yes i tried factory reset from Cyanogen Recovery and the problem still there
please help guys i'm bagging you i won't try anything i don't know again
If you're not using a custom rom why did you flash a custom recovery and gapps?
Make a factory reset from settings and not from recovery. See if that helps.
Do you have a backup?
