Develop Bugs

Ok, this stupid update is driving me nuts!

Every 5 minutes I get prompted to install the update. I have done everything humanly possible to get rid of it (to my knowledge and of asking around). Can anyone tell me how to get rid of the update? I don't even know why there is an update when I have a custom ROM.
Rooted Phone w/Blazer ROM 1.6
I even unrooted my phone, went back installed the update, and re-rooted my phone and its still there!
I clear dalvick cache and it buys me another day or 2 before I start getting prompted again to install it. How can I get rid of it, any help would be greatly appreciated!!!!!!!!
And yes, i've seen other posts and did the radio change and other installs as well that were "supposed" to fix it

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1805618
Try the suggestion there. Worked for me.
Of course, since you're on a custom ROM though, you should make the edits yourself.
I made the change, rebooted into recovery and wiped cache partition, and no update notification since.

On my epic when I had it rooted and was getting bugged by an update (not sure if this will work on this phone) I would let install and let it fail (it was rooted) pull the battery and restart the phone and it would go into clock work and I would restart from there and it wouldn't bug me again till my next reboot.

Did you nandroid b4 doing the update? If so, revert back cuz phantom is working on the OTA update

Just go back to the stock Rome, update the phone, root and flash the rom again...

I just want the update

Be sure to make a backup before changing it, just in case.

Just let the update go through...
It will fail and then it won't bother you no more. At least that's what worked for me last night....

This works for me, I kept disabling things till I found it and narrowed it down:
1. Install "system tuner" by 3c
2. Go to "Startups"
3. Scroll down to "google services framework" and tap it
4. UNCHECK anything to do with "SystemUpdateService"

[Q] How To Update Rooted S3?

I have a rooted Galaxy S3 with stock rom.

Please tell me how to manually update, and (where) I can find the latest stock updated software

Take a look in the android dev sections to this forum. If you ever update once rooted, you should be flashing a new ROM (clean or dirty flashing) to receive the next update. Running stock ROM in between a Sammy update and while having the older ROM without the newest update will yield that result.

There are plenty of reasons for rooting but remaining stock (such as: tethering, Droid wall, Titanium Backup to allow me to backup and restore app data, removing bloat, etc).
I have flashed custom rooms in the past on my Evo but right now I am happy with my S3 at stock.

I was in the same boat at you. I put it off for a while but finally decided to update tonight. I followed the steps posted here.

You can update your baseband by flashing a properly packaged official baseband zip, or flash from recovery tool (my preference), like the one here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=29820376. There are also unofficial, or leaked basebands, available to flash from all-in-one zips, such as the one here: http://goo.im/devs/freeza/Galaxy-S-fre3-LIGFirmwareModemAIO.zip.
As far as the build version goes, that does not have to match your baseband (modem). Most of the ICS ROMs are LG8, although there are some LI3 ICS ROMs to choose from. There's also a leaked build of Jellybean, builds LIF & LIG, with a third leak LIH reportedly coming out tomorrow. Once rooted, you can update your build version by flashing the ROM of your choice, based upon the build of your choice.
One of the top developers, and probably the greatest asset to this community, is freeza. He explained the difference very well here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=32095775
That's a long-winded response, but I hope it answered your original question, and helps you out.
Have fun!
Edit: Once you're rooted, you'll still receive OTA update notifications, which will continually annoy you until you choose to update and reboot. Once you reboot, the update will fail because of your custom recovery (you will NOT lose root) and the notification will go away....until the next OTA...

Excuse me for my stupidity but I'm new to android. I'm also using the sprint variant of the s3 and have it rooted with stock rom. However my build number is IMM76D.L710VPALF9. I'm assuming the last 3 are the update versions. What is the current version and how do I update to it?
Also, I'm rooted with Clockwork mod 5.5.0.4. How do I upgrade this to version 6.0.1.2? Will I have to unroot then root again?
Thanks for clearing anything you can up. Don't mean to pirate the OP but I figured I'd post in this thread rather than make a new one. Thanks again.

That is one of the reasons that I am rooted... so I can use WiFi Tether. I do not it much. Hardly any data at all. But when I am in a spot and need a wireless connection and I only have my phone it comes in handy.
Some other reasons:
- DroidWall: Lets me block individual apps from accessing the internet.
- AddFree: Block ads in some apps.

why would you do that?

Rooting. Where did I go wrong?

Hey guys, first time Android user here.
I got my phone on release day...a few weeks later I decided to root it. Went very smoothly with no issues, then I accepted an update and lost the root so now when I try to root again I always end up with all kinds of stop errors. Anyone have any thoughts on why that might be? Ive tried restoring my phone to factory settings and rooting but it makes no difference, always blows up with error after error.

Saying you reset to factory settings, did you ODIN back to stock?

No sir, just used the reset tool built into the phone....are you saying I need to find the stock firmware and load it through ODIN first?

I would strongly suggest using the ODIN method back to to stock, and then start your rooting process again

Odin to stock, rooted LG1
Dl OTA root keeper from market, using it to back up root
Let the ota update do its thing
Restore root with root keeper

That is a pre-rooted firmware.you need one of the ones from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1968625 to go completely back to stock, just make ure you grab the one for your provider

Ok just finished step number one (flashing stock rom) and its the same outcome that ive been getting. As soon as the phone comes on this error pops up unfortunately the process android.process.acore has stopped and it just pops up every ten seconds.

Try clearing you contacts cache, under application manager.

Dang.... Wish this conversation was 2 days ago. I had the same exact error after trying to get root, I had to pull battery and do factory reset from stock recovery then flash stock with root and flash the OTA to end up where I wanted to be! . Oh well we live and learn right!

Did you uninstall any bloat apps? If so, did you restore a backup or is everything just working for you? I am rooted on JB leak and uninstalled many bloat apps and just trying to figure out what my next step is here. And what does SBF stand for? Sorry for the ignorance, never owned a locked bootloader phone before so this is all new lol.

I only disabled bloat apps, didn't uninstall any. It checks to make sure all system apps are present (but not enabled). Your only option if you've uninstalled bloat apps using something like TiBu and if you've installed the JB leak is to revert to ICS factory image. SBF is "system boot file."
You're going to need to grab the ICS fastboot file from the dev forum and install it before either the OTA or this will work.
Root on its own is not a problem but if you have changed system apps (bloat is all "system") you'll need to do that.
If you installed safestrap that's fine, but you have to uninstall the recovery using the app before this will work because it checks the boot sequence.

Is the official update going to be worth it if we already have the leaked jellybean? All the sites I've read provide the same information regarding the new features for the update (all the same as the jellybean leak). If anyone has updated to the official jellybean from the leaked can you provide any information regarding the differences between the two

Confirmed working, and according to the Verizon PDF this official version has improved 4g reception as well as less drops on signal, improved WiFi and Bluetooth its running fine for me, going to try root and safe strap now

Root not working which means safe strap is not working.... reverting back too old jb leak for the time being

Installed and working great.
OTARootkeeper backed up root then temp uninstalled root. Booted into stock recovery, flashed OTA from sd card, booted up, restored root, made sure entitlement_check was still set to "0"....tested stock hotspot app and works great.

Yes, this is Verizon's official OTA. I haven't been running long so I will not comment much on stability. For the first few minutes one system app continuously force closed and restarted and the notification bar / soft keys disappeared. A reboot solved those problems.

Just went back to Jellywiz from Paranoid on my S3 w/ some new radios we got leaked, so been busy setting all my crap back up.
Really hoping we can get Pimp My Rom on the M soon.

I also had no issues re-rooting with OTA Rootkeeper after manual update. I think I'm enjoying project butter the most!

Stock Un-Rooted HTC One..?
My husbands phone (which he refused to let me root when we had the chance, has been giving him a lot of grief with this latest OTA. It keeps downloading, attempting to install, and there errors 410 update failed, and exits software update. When I checked his phone after the latest attempt by the phone to install 4.4.3 to see if the download was still ON his device, it had disappeared with the failure of the update.
My question is, he's just sick of getting the prompt, error, and reboot - as a temp fix, can I push this OTA Killer onto his phone even though it isn't rooted and have it work, or do I need to find a signed RUU of the 4.4.3 and flash in bootloader (as I was originally planning on doing, but came across this...)
Thanks in advance!!!

NO, no custom recovery installed, everything is 100% stock. He spent a good part of 3 hours with tech support with Verizon and HTC and they were both dumbfounded....go figure!
Problem is because it's a virtual SD, I have no way of verifying (without root) that it's even downloaded to the virtual one on the M7. Would it hurt anything to take a shot at it from stock recovery.....?
Or is there a link someone could suggest to a download to the OTApkg file?

would this help my problem??
I recently read a post, I don't know where now, but it had to do with a hidden Trojan/malware. That was started in 2013... After reading, thinking back to when this really started affecting me Feb,26, 2015. I noticed some strange things mentioned in my service log from around that date. The post mentioned how it places a high tracker in some obscure app. Unfortunately I got the bug, BAD!!! So not knowing about this until I made it worse by plugging my phone into my computer... I'm sure you can figure out the rest. My everything is screwed now. My HTC one m7, is the only device I can use period, now. I tried to root, and couldn't. Then downloaded another root checker, and it said my device was already rooted. Is there anything I can do(on my knees begging). This has to be the worst inter-web experience ever. Any and all ideas, advice, similar problems, links, and time are greatly appreciated. Thank you
