Hi, I have a epic 4g touch and I rooted it successfully using odin about a month ago. Now It wants me to system update, I hit cancel because I dont want to brick my phone, so i keep hitting cancel, but ten mins later it comes up again? Im new at this, and im not sure what to do? Any advice would be good thank you for reading and your time.

Blazer was just updated to EL13. Beta but you're in luck the issue seems to be you have to flash blazer 2.0 first.

That was at davimack, I'm in the same boat. Kinda wanna try flashing from calks version, I've got a nand backup of it but I really like the look and feel of tnz blends I just wanna get rid of update notification

I just hit restart and install from the update notification and it tried to install but couldn't. It went to the caution triangle with the Android guy screen. Then I hold the power button until recovery booted, cleared cache and reboot. Never seen the update notification again even after reboots. Make sure you freeze the update checker from titanium backup our you would have to go through this again

Yeah I posted a link for best bet. This is a STOCK, pre-rooted EK02 ROM. I do have to warn you this is a full ROM. So a full wipe is recommended. You can try to just wipe cache and dalvik. Titanium backup all your stuff to be safe

Guys team vennum has a script that prevents updates in Development and I believe there is an apk called FOTA.apk that you put in your system/app folder and prevents updates
I have looked through some of the threads on bricked phones and none have seemed to help. Right now all that shows up is Samsung. I found a video that said to get a file from samsung-update so I did. I used Odin to flash that and everything seems fine. This all started after I decided to try and go back to stock from liquid smooth. I just wasn't a fan of it and wanted to try tomorrow for a touchwiz rom. When I tried to flash back it didn't work so I thought if I used the tool kit to unroot it would put the original stock back. All it did was unroot. Any help? When I check my flash count it is around 4. If they check that at Sprint will I be able to have my phone fixed or will I just be SOL?
Hello shazo85,
If you can get to download mode (which it sounds like you can, seeing your flash counter), you can flash a stock ROM via Odin.
Try this thread and here download the package for your device.

Its shows if you have flashed a custom rom and another way for carriers to know if you have rooted your phone. So every time you flash a custom rom rom your phone counts it. But you can always reset the flash counter with triangle away.

The LJ7 with count reset for 32 didn't work. I'm trying the L13 right now. It seems to be doing something now.
That worked. I'm on 4.0.4, but I have a working phone.

True however I'm the type of person that has to make sure I know what I'm doing to unroot also. So now that I'm rooted again I want to unroot and make sure I do it right. Then find a touchwiz rom that I like that is fully working.

Ok, look for the "ODIN 1-clicks" thread, it takes you back to stock, stock recovery, and resets your flash counter in one
As for good touchwiz roms, I would recommend either MOAR (Mother of All ROMS) or TPR (the peoples rom)
You can find both in the "Android development" subforum"

I will check them out. I'm currently trying to use the toolkit that was posted to unroot. I'm sitting at the TWRP ADB Sideload screen now. All I have is a bar at the bottom and above it cancel. I'm guessing it is installing adb sideload filename.zip? Not sure how long this will take. I will look for the ODIN 1-clicks thread later. To help narrow it down any idea as to what forum it was posted in?

Thanks. TWRP seems to be taking a long time to install the files it needs to do the sideload. Nothing seems to have changed, but when I try to go further in the toolkit it just gives me an error that it can't find the device.

Also I just noticed your OP says you came from liquidsmooth. That is CM10.1 based. CM10.1 does not show the galaxy S3 screen when booting. Which tells me that u still have that kernel and a touchwiz based system. Whatever you did to return from liquidsmooth didnt flash a new kernel. You also have to wipe before switching back to a touchwiz rom like stock, my zip above is a fix for all that

Thanks, I will give that a shot. The link was posted above by someone. I didn't know that was the same one you were talking about. Seems like it isn't as easy to root, flash and even to unroot the S3 as it was the EVO 4G. I only had issues with some roms on that.
This is a samsung. Its easier than any HTC to unroot and go back to stock. Your just not used to it yet

Agreed. Samsung bootloader is unlocked by default. That means rooting is as simple as an Odin flash of a recovery. With HTC (locked bootloader), you had to use a program such as unrevoked to gain access to it. And each and every update HTC tried to re-lock the bootloader, so it was difficult to know if you should update (this is one reason why we get so many threads on here that say "how do I root with MB1?!?!?!").
As far as I'm aware, rooting with GS3 has been accomplished using the same method for quite a while.
Now, rooting using the Odin method is a bit more involved than it was with unrevoked, but really the only steps are clicking through a couple of files. The steps are stated clearly. It's just new and feels different. I was really wary of using Odin (still am, if I can be honest), but I was much more uncomfortable with unrevoked.
Samsungs seem harder because everybody and their mother has a tutorial on how to root it and nobody uses the most quick, clear cut 30-sec root possible, CF AUTO ROOT is easy and quick as hell, yet people treat it like the redheaded step child and ignore its presence. I dont get why
*Not lying when i say 30-sec either.
FInd me an easier method than that

More information on CF Auto-Root:
Website (look up d2spr in the big table).
XDA Thread. Has instructions and further clarifications.
I had honestly never heard of it before, but it seems like a good (and quick) option for getting root from stock.
Could be that I'm just not used to it. I only ever had to root the EVO if I was coming back from Sprint. If I remember right the unroot was just load up 2 zip files. Nice that this is just one to unroot. I will have to look into that CF Auto Root.
I too was one of those people looking for how to root MBI. I didn't know it was all the same. Chances are I would have never donated to the toolkit if I would have known. I also would have never used the toolkit. It would be nice if we had just one thread on rooting instead of 3 or 4 that we have. Might be less confusing that way.
EDIT: Forgot to say that the zip file for the unroot and counter reset did work. I had my phone back up and working just as I clocked in for work. All night I have had apps downloading.
I have T-Mobiles Galaxy S4 (SGH-M919). I upgraded from 4.2.2 to 4.3 yesterday, rooted, and was removing bloatware when something I deleted screwed up my gallery so I decided to re-do everything (go back to stock) and start all over. Of course that was a fail and now my screen says "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again." (didn't work)(cannot get into download mode or recovery) tried restoring through Odin (did this with an Galaxy s2 before and it fixed the problem) But did not work either!!! At the top of the screen it says:
Odin mode
Product name: sgh-m919
Current Binary: custom
System Status: custom
Knox Kernel Lock: 0x0
Knox Warrany Void: 0x1
CSB-Config-LSB: 0x30
Write Protection: Enabled
eMMC BURST MODE enabled
START (224, 1440)
SW REV. CHECK FAIL : fused : 4 , Binary : 1
I had originally thought that Knox was just a app, but know better now. I am downloading the 4.3 firmware (6 more hours to download) to flash through Odin, but expect the same results. Any ideas on how to fix this issue or do I own a new paper-weight??? I have read through many forums and cannot find a solution.....
Odin flash the 4.3 stock tar and root with Saferoot Verizon method or CF-Autoroot (recommended). If you want autobloatware cleaner, search for TrulyClean. Good luck

Yeah, with large downloads like that sometimes they mess up. You can run a MD5 hash/checksum to make sure the file you downloaded didnt mess up. But download it again from somewhere and give it a shot. No reason why you won't be able to Odin

Once you are back to stock 4.3 and not rooted all you need to do to root
the phone is to download and Odin flash cf-autoroot.
Here is the direct download link for cf-autoroot in case you want to root your phone:
http://download.chainfire.eu/328/CF...jfltetmo-jfltetmo-sghm919.zip?retrieve_file=1
Unzip cf-autoroot into an empty folder on your computer's desktop, use
Odin which is also included in the zipfile to flash cf-autoroot in pda slot.
Once you are rooted you will need to flash a custom recovery like cwm or twrp.
Good luck!

Good question from the looks of the information found in the link its still 4.4.2 just with some security updates. From a view doesn't seem like it but also wouldn't hurt to see it offers some improvements.
Android version: 4.4.2
Baseband version: APQ8064/MDM9x15M
Software Version: E98020h
Kernel version: 3.4.0
Build number: KOT49I.E98020h
If your own E98020g then the update is just only 5mb
E98020g -> E98020h: 5.15 MB (Wi-Fi not required)
Then again after the stunt AT&T pulled graying out the APN in the last update its pretty much at your own risk at this point.
Alright, I went ahead and let the update download and install. Upon the phone rebooting, it is now stuck in CWM recovery. I can't seem to get out of it. I guess the update is not friendly with custom recoveries.
Anybody have suggestions on what to do? I found similar posts on the LG G2 forums, but they talk about connecting the phone to adb while still in CWM. Every time I try that, I get "device offline" and can't send any commands.
This sounds the same as last update three months ago.

As far as I've ever known you always need to have stock recovery with a update like that.... You probably have to use lg flash tools to get back to stock ... IMO

As far as I've ever known you always need to have stock recovery with a update like that.... You probably have to use lg flash tools to get back to stock ... IMO

That's pretty much what I've figured as well. I'm working on getting back to stock now. I should've known better...

Just updated this morning, I was VERY unhappy with the last update, it really bogged down the phone and I experienced some other small issues...after updating this morning, I have double the amount of free RAM as before and phone feels much more snappier again!
Just updated... i rooted with towel root, installed busy box,supersu, and 6.0.4.4. Cwm No problems yet...

bro, backup all app/data, then make a factory reset, wipe dalvik, then configure again your phone, download update via wifi, then restore your data, then root.... that's it
you look, your phone have is better and run perfect with 4.4.2 updated

I used this method with this image the last time I went back stock.
I may just pass on this update as it is too big of a PITA to go back stock and then re-customize everything.
Saved my life!

I want to thank you very much!
The only reason I even created a profile on this forum is o thank you! Yes, clicked the thank you button!
Worked like a charm! I never heard of towelroot until now, and it took about 3 seconds to download and another 3 to install.
Worked like a charm no issues sir.
THANK YOU AGAIN!
That is the easiest root I have ever done in my life!

Sounds like you're in the same boat i was. Sucks.
I ended up using this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=44983841, but i needed to do it slightly differently. It gave me a lot of grief last night, but I ended up getting it to work if i pulled the usb in and out of the phone when the lgflashtool showed that it was "ready". I can't fully remember the exact combination that worked, but i finally got the kitkat tot to flash and then update and towel root. If you have any more questions, let me know and I'll try to step through it when i make it to my laptop.

For what it's worth I am stock rooted and was able to do the update with no problems. I would suggest if your not sure of what your doing to look through the forums and find a safe way to unroot, go back to factory rom and then do the update. It will save you hours of trouble. Good luck
Lol I must have hit the button while sleeping ..... Buddy called me and I remember hitting the notification area ...boom stuck recovery loop... Its all good now I got it all figured out and restored my stock kk. Pain in the ass lol. Is that update even worth it ... What all is in it ? Nothing major I'm guessing

You can root it using the T-Mobile S6 chainfire auto-root tar that you flash in ODIN, but I wouldn't recommend it right now, there's pretty bad battery drain after rooting because it's not the right recovery for our device.
I don't mind a battery drain. Its that I have a note 2 and am gonna upgrade to a new phone because I am selling my phone. I use my phone for my internet for computer and watching TV at home so if I don't get it rooted or custom ROM with WiFi thether or mobile hotspot I am gonna be internetless and forget that. I am sure someone will make a custom ROM I just need to find out where to get tar files for root and tar files to unroot aoni can get them and root phone and when they figure out phone better and ROMs etc I will switch it. Can you provide me with info links etc please? Thank you soo much for your reply

Just download this and extract the zip: http://download.chainfire.eu/731/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-zerofltetmo-zerofltetmo-smg920t.zip There will be an ODIN exe in there, flash the tar file in ODIN with your phone attached via USB in download mode and it'll be rooted!

Also TWRP for the T-Mobile S6 might work as well, I assume you can flash it just fine, I haven't tried though

All it flashes is a recovery and cache file and supersu apk and binaries then goes back to stock recovery. Battery has nothing to do with it..

deep sleep fix
Does this mean it's "safe" to root using the T-Mobile Chainfire method. Is the No-sleep issue the only one?

That may be true but I find it curious that there is only one post in the Development section and no custom ROMS. Frankly I can wait until Chainfire or whomever makes a good root and unlock. Call me cautious.

Fair enough, i waited to hear some feedback before trying. But everything works i promise :good: can at least remove everything not wanted, in the mean time while dev is making its way.
Hoping to put up a deodexed rooted base this weekend.
I got the hotspot / tethering working perfectly without rooting. Besides since there is no root available I read it will permanently disable Samsung Pay
