Paranoid OTA having md5 mismatch - Paranoid Android Q&A

My i9300 is having build 20140722
I downloaded new build 20140729 over the OTA, upon it finished it said md5 mismatch.
Is it issue in the new build or it's OTA bug? this is the first time I am using OTA, had been using recovery mode the previous build from direct download.
Thanks.

I used a nexus 4, and when I did a PA update over the OTA update, it showed me the same md5 mismatch. I went ahead and flashed it, and it didnt cause any problems for me. Shouldn't be a problem, but take a backup in your custom recovery just in case
Hope this helps!

[Q] MMuzzy's Jelly Bean 4.1.2 JZO54K and gapps

Hello. I did a clean install of MMuzzy's Jelly Bean 4.1.2 JZO54K on my Verizon gnex. After I flash gapps 20121011(via the download listed in the OP for this ROM) my phone won't boot to the OS anymore (it only boots to recovery). I've re downloaded the gapps install in case it was corrupt but it didn't help.
Does anyone have any ideas? Thank you in advance.
Moved for better assistance, Thank you.
i would try a fresh download of the rom and/or gapps. did you check the md5 sum of each? you can find it on the goo.im download page

Thank you. Yes I downloaded them twice and the checksums all matched.
my only other thought would be to try a different recovery. which do you use?

[Q] Unable to flash custom roms!

Hi, let me first begin if there is any problem with my threads. And I want to thank XDA for letting me ask this question, im pretty much a noob from the start..
So, I recently got a replacement S4 (surprisingly from a faulty device on swappa that had warranty) and it was already updated with 4.3 MK2, I have used chainfire's CF-Auto Root and have gotten root and also have installed a custom recovery (CWM.) My problem lies when I want to flash a Custom 4.3 Rom. I have downloaded HyperDrive RSL12 (Mostly because of the note 3 features) and the required files for it. But when I go into recovery and try to flash the rom, the recovery would take a couple of minutes to do something and then say that I can't flash this rom (I saw something under the line of "bad" but I have tried again and again to redownload the rom, so I honestly don't think thats the issue) but this happens to all of the roms I want to install, and I'm not sure if it has something with the KNOX bootloader that came with the phone, but honestly, any help I get is much appreciated! I would gladly give more info to who will help me and I would do almost everything to either install custom rom or 4.2.2 stock!

hmm.....i mean that is a possibility, i'll try rerooting again, but say if the problem doesn't lie in rooting, what other problem would be associated this?
I'd try a different ROM. That one was first for the international version I believe.
Also, you could try a different recovery. Twrp or Philz. Or just a different version of cwm. Which is what I use.

You can't install stock 4.2.2 since you've updated to the mk2 bootloader (or any room base on 4.2.2). Did you check the md5 of the download file?

I'll be honest,I have no knowledge about md5 in general, but normally would the mk2 bootloader prevent me from installing a modified stock 4.3 rom or a 4.3 custom rom in general?

What version of TWRP are you using? It may just be me, but I spent all last night trying to flash Hyperdrive, Wicked, AND WarpDrive 4.3 and kept having all sorts of problems. Baseband being reported as unknown, no service, phone app FCing, Settings->About Phone->Status would crash settings, WiFi wouldn't connect for anything in the world. I literally spent about 5 hours wiping, flashing, and wiping again. I couldn't even restore an old backup of HyperDrive I had. I started thinking, I recently updated TWRP to 2.6.3.1 and everything was working fine before. I reverted back to 2.6.3.0 and I could restore my backup; I could now flash the 4.3 TW ROMs and get the correct Baseband to report, it all worked right.
TL;DR
Try using an older version of TWRP.

You can go to http://techerrata.com/browse/twrp2/jfltetmo and download previous versions of TWRP. The .img files are flashed by using the dd command in a terminal emulator and the .tar files are flashed in Odin.
Some people aren't as lucky with TWRP as I have been; I've never had a real problem with any of the versions I've used. Some people have only really been able to use 2.5.0.2, so I would say to give that version a shot.

Are you able to browse through the zip file on either your computer or a file browser on your phone? If you can't look through the directories within the zip, you have a bad download and will need to re-download it.

yea, usually when I have a bad download, Winrar would tell me the archive had a unexpected end, but that is not the case in this situation, the file has worked on my dad's s4, but i guess the problem lies in my own device

[Q] Failed Assert when installing CM 10.2+ on SGH-T999V

Background:
Decided to fresh install CM via the fancy new installer and just refresh everything.
This wouldn't complete correctly.
Attempted to manually install 10.2 but get an assert failure.
Reinstalled 10.1.3 and it is currently running.
Current problem; CM10.2 / CM11 will not install correctly.
I'm pretty sure its just a matter of updating recovery or something silly but I can't find any concrete information regarding this.
Running: CWM v6.0.4.5
When I attempt to install either version I get an Assert Failed.
Suggestions?
6.0.4.5 is the latest CWM.
Are you sure you are choosing the CM for YOUR device ?

Pretty sure, since if I choose 10.1.3 and install it from the same download page it works.
I've always used d2tmo
It's a Samsung Galaxy S3 from WIND mobile.
Mod: SGH-T999V
I've tried the following CM versions from get.cm
cm-10.2.0-RC1-d2tmo.zip
cm-11-20140104-SNAPSHOT-M2-d2tmo.zip
cm-10.2-20131102-SNAPSHOT-M1-d2tmo.zip
If that's the case then edit the updater script and add your device to the Asserts or remove them alltogether.

Its not the baseband but the Bootloader that it was looking for. So when you updated the bootloader, it accepted that. Glad its all sorted out.

[Q] SGH-I747 Update Issues to 4.4.2

I'm trying to help out a friend and update his Galaxy S3 SGH-I747. He originally had cyanogenmod installed but he restored his phone back to stock and flashed a stock recovery back to the phone. When he tries to do an OTA updated it downloads but fails to install? His current android version is 4.1.1 but his baseband is I747UCUFNE4 which if im not mistaken is for android 4.4.2 what would be the easiest way to get his phone updated to the stock 4.4.2 software?

Thanks, I had found the last link (....2789917) by doing a Google search (i.e., searching within the forum was less successful).
Hey bmoliver and BWolf56,
I am in the same boat as your friend where my baseband (bootloader) version is I747UCUFNE4 but the software version is stuck at 4.1.1. AT&T is identifying a OTA update, downloading but the update is failing.
I tried the method described in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2789917. But when I am trying to flash MJB bootloader, it is failing. I read elsewhere in this forum that downgrading from UCU to MJB is not really advisable.
I am stuck in 4.1.1 and my phone is half functional at the moment with the camera, nfc, bluetooth not functional :crying:.
Was your friend able to get this resolved bmoliver?
I tried searching for a I747UCUFNE4 md5 file that I can flash using odin (just a hope that it might work) but could not find.
It would be great if one of you can point me to it.
PS: I am a complete newbie to this entire thing and so far from what I read, my phone is probably soft-bricked and am hoping that someone would guide and help me get out of this.
EDIT: One more thing that I observed is when I am trying flash something in the download mode, I get the error and "sw rev check fail fused 3 binary 0" and it fails
Thanks,
CJ

You don't want to downgrade bootloaders, that will brick your phone.
You'll have to flash NE4 with Odin (or a NE4 custom ROM through custom recovery) to get your baseband and software matching.
The thread you linked should work if you follow it to a T. If something doesn't work, let us know and be specific about what happened.
Thanks for the info BWolf56,
Sorry for asking a trivial question (just getting accustomed to the lingo used here) .
When you say I should follow it to a T, are you just referring to follow all the steps.
I tried two things
1. follow each step, but failed at step 3 since I was trying to downgrade my bootloader.
2. I jumped from step 2 to step 6 and tried to flash 4.4.2OTA.zip in recovery mode but that also failed. I dont remember the exact error I got, I can try it again to give you more details if you think it is safe.
Thanks

If you jumped to #6, you didn't flash a custom recovery, which you need to flash the OTA.
I did install TWRP 2.6.3.1 which I am guessing is the custom recovery (as part of step 2) and then I tried to flash the OTA. Am I missing something here?

Sounds like you'll have to use Odin to flash Stock.
Your build.prop is most likely borked (or has been changed to something it's not). d2u is not a variant of the S3, nor does it exist.
Thanks a ton for helping me identify the problem.
I just have to look if a stock file to flash using odin is out there somewhere.
I will post in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2789917 to see if enewman17 or someone from the community have a tar or md5 file that I can use.
I will try that and update on how it goes.

There isn't a NE4 stock for Odin. I just noticed the post hasn't been updated in a while.
I though I could find it on Sammobile.com but they have LK3 as their latest too.
Since you somehow have the 4.4.2 modem, you can not flash anything older than the 4.4.2 firmware. Currently there is nothing that you can flash to fix this. Normally, I would say to flash an older modem, but if Odin is seeing it as already updated to 4.4.2 (SWREV 3), and the only thing you have that is 4.4.2 is the modem, flashing anything older will likely hard brick.
You need either the full stock firmware, which there is not one, Thanks AT&T!, or a recovery flashable firmware for 4.4.2. Enewman17 has this, but it will not work for you because of how the modem is flashed. For some reason, he has it patching the 4.3 modem rather than including the full updated one like with the other partitions. If someone makes the same thing, but with the already updated modem, you could probably flash that. No guarantees though. Running 4.1.1 firmware/bootloaders with a 4.4.2 modem is a scenario which is highly unpredictable, so anything you try to flash might cause more problems, we just don't know.
I've PM'd enewman17 to ask if there was a specific reason he updated the modem the way he did. If there is not an issue doing it like i mentioned someone can try to make a new package like that for you to try.
Thanks Doc!
Hopefully enewman17 can come up with a solution for this.
Just an information which I was not able to completely comprehend but maybe pros like you or Bwolf56 will be able to.
I opened Kies and this is what it says.
Firmware information
This is the latest firmware.
Current firmware version: PDA:LK3 / PHONE:NE4 / CSC:LK3 (ATT)
Any thoughts on how do I get the PDA and CSC updated (not even sure what exactly they are)
Thanks

Ok, enewman17 just put this together if you want to try it. This includes the full NE4 stock firmware minus system, kernel, cache and recovery.
So flashing it will preserve your current Rom, kernel and recovery, but will otherwise fully update your base firmware/bootloaders to NE4.
This should be perfectly safe to use, but seeing as it is untested, I cannot make any guarantees that it won't make things worse. (I wouldn't post it if I thought it would, but there is always the possibility)
Flash from custom recovery such as TWRP.

If you want to fully update your system (rom) to stock NE4, enewman17 has a thread in the development section with stock rooms you can flash via recovery after you update your firmware posted above.

Unable to factory restore phone after rooting to 4.4 ROM

I rooted to a 4.4 ROM and have been getting several reboots and I am clueless as to what the problem could be. I have decided that I would like to factory restore my phone and play around with rooting ROMS in the near future, so i tried restoring it today by flashing a zip file in recovery but I got an error in attempting to do so.
I have no idea what to do, and I'm so stumped...thank you for taking your time in reading this post.
EDIT
Current and Previous Rom: CURRENT is Task650's 7.29.2014 KitKat Rom (4.4.4, unified); PREVIOUS is Quantum's 5.2 KitKat Rom (4.4.4)
Current firmware build: Current firmware build is I747UCUEMJB
What did you try to flash? I tried flashing a AT&T I747 UCUEMJB Stock Restore.
What recovery? I have Clockword Mod Touch Recovery 6.0.4.7
What error?
" -- Installing: /sdcard/0/Download/ATT_I747_UCUEMJB_StockRestore_2282014.zip

Need more info to be able to help.
Current and Previous Rom
Current firmware build
What did you try to flash?
What recovery?
What error?
The best way to revert to full stock though is to flash the firmware with Odin.

I apologize for the lack of info. I updated the original post with information WITHOUT the firmware build. How may I find that? I'm going to reproduce the error so give me a sec to give you that information as well.
I appreciate your help Doc!
To verify your current firmware/bootloader version, install terminal emulator and enter this:
getprop ro.bootloader
It will depend on what the error is to figure a way to get that particular package to flash. You could also try using TWRP or Philz recoveries.
After it fails, there should be an option to copy log to sd. (Its in the Advanced menu in TWRP, not sure about CWM)
But if it continues to give problems, flashing the firmware via Odin will be the most likely solution. The 4.3 firmware for this is in a thread in the General section.

I updated the OP with the current firmware build and the error I get.
More explanation on the error: In the thread where I found the zip file, it instructs the zip file to be flashed via TWRP recovery or CWM recovery, so I am stumped as to what I could have done wrong. Thanks Doc!
It may be a bad download. Did you check the md5?
I recommend downloading the stock firmware from the link I posted and flash that with Odin.
I tried getting the md5 verification, but I couldn't get it working. Probably was a mistake on my part in that I misunderstood the directions to check the md5.
Doc, I will use the link you provided me and flash the DL via Odin. I'll get back to you as soon as I do so. Thank you so much for the help, this is definitely a learning experience for me.
