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".

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.

Just move the files manually. Use a computer or a file manager, doesn't really matter (only one /0 - /data/media/0). Update your recovery, too.
You can flash a 4.1.2 ROM, but do not flash any < 4.3 firmware.
I tried using e3 file explorer. No luck. I can't even see the files to move.
So if I install a 4.1.2 Rom. Do I need to flash the MD5 modem? Or it will work with them 4.3 modem?

You need to use the file manager to navigate to /data/media. You will be able to see everything from that location. I admit, it's more complicated/confusing than it should be, but it's mostly for backwards compatibility.

I recently got a s3 and it came with 4.4.2 OTA and I rooted and installed TWRP however when I go to flash a rom specifically CM 11. I get a Assert failed: getprop("ro.bootloader" error. I've looked around for solutions and come to find that you need MD8 bootloader to flash. I ran through the checks to see my bootloader and version and it was in fact MD8. So now i turn here to ask. Should I flash the whole kitkat update again to make sure I have MD8. I just recently got cm 10 on the s3 fine so I'm anxious to get cm 11. Please help

Would I be able to flash this recovery on top of TWRP or do I need to do something to remove TWRP before hand?

I was wrong it is the same md5sum but it is a snapshot not sure if you can flash those as you would with a stable release. Upon having 10.2 cm (being its the only one I can flash at the moment) i tried to flash an update though cm and this also failed so I'm not sure where to go from here

Nightlys is all I got to say when on other devices the Nightlys all ways worked but I don't know about the ones for the D2LTE since I personally haven't tried it :/

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I537 using XDA Free mobile app
CM10.1 and newer are not compatible with ICS bootloaders, Have you checked your firmware to see what it actually is? sometimes people mistaken baseband as their actual firmware when it isn't.
Use Terminal Emulator ( If Rooted ) to find out what your bootloader is.
Code:
su
getprop ro.bootloader
Latest KK bootloader for sprint should be L710VPUDND8 if it's not that, look up your phone model and update it to the correct one and try flashing again.

Dunno. I've been running CM11 D2LTE nightlies for months. I'm still on L710VPBMD4 loader with the old MK3.
Maybe it sounds stupid, but try to completely revert to stock first, then re-root and flash the d2LTE M10 zip in Philz. Just a thot, yo.
you might need to remove the asserts which is quite dangerous if you don't know what you're doing,
as always google and youtube is there, just search for remove asserts ro.bootloader or status 7 error.
removing them wont have the ROMs updater-script look for specific devices and bootloader.
and it should install without failure if you flash the right ROM to the right device.

Yes. Flash a custom ROM. There are several that are very near stock (I recommend MaximusHD). Being on the stock ROM is what is prompting you to update via OTA.

No. It won't.

Since you are still running the stock ROM, go to settings > about > more, and post what it says next to build number.
The build number for me wasn't exactly where you said but that's ok. On a side note it really sucks that you can't copy things like build number right from the settings.

Try use a root explorer to rename those two apks to .bak then reboot.
CheckinProvider.apk --> CheckinProvider.bak
updater.apk --> updater.bak
That's how I do it.
Sorry I wasn't specific, but what I meant by freeze was that I renamed them to .app. This didn't fix anything though.

Then the software updates tab is gone, right ?
Also try change this in build.prop

Other than this, no more idea.
I'm very confused. What update tab exactly are you referring to, and I don't even have that line in my build.prop according to Rom Toolbox.

I mean when you go to settings - about - you don't see software updates on top after you froze those apks.

Can you attach here your build.prop then I'll check it later when I'm home
(in next two hours)
I don't see anything about an update in About but I don't remember seeing one earlier either. Either way an update button is not what is annoying. The pop-up is my only concern. My dad won't update android manually and it would fail anyway but a phone that bullies it's user ever few minutes to update is unbearable. Is there an easy way to upload a file here from my phone without linking to a Google Drive file?
Sent from my HTC6525LVW using XDA Free mobile app
You don't see that because you already froze the apks.
I never attach anything from phone, only from PC. Just zip the build.prop and attach here, no need dropbox or gdrive.
