Hello All,
Starting from a couple days ago, my S3 started to display, in the notification area, a "T-Mobile update service". This notification can only be delayed a maximum of 1 day, after which it kept re-popping up.
I have just finally rooted my S3 and got all my settings and adjustments to my liking, and I'm afraid that after the update I would need to re do everything again. I'm wondering if there is a way to update it without affecting my current settings, root and etc. Does anyone knows if the update is root-able? Thanks all for all the help!

You should root with the "No tripping flash counter option".
I rooted with that option " No tripping flash counter option". would root keeper still work with that kind of root? How do i use a root keeper? i have never used it before. Thanks for all the help!

Got this notification this morning. Does anyone have a change log for it?
On a side note: My girlfriend did the update a few days ago. Her phone is bone stock unrooted and it shut off and we couldn't turn it on for more then a day. I finally booted back up. Seems fine now but sluggish.

Here it is. I guess since I copied someone else's quote, the link was not properly copied on my post. but anyways, has anyone figure this whole t mobile update thing out? the notification kept popping up! Any help would be greatly appreciated! thanks
Hello All,
Is there not one person with a rooted S3 that had encountered the same problem I had? Nobody else with a rooted S3 T mobile provider encountered the same update notification? Please share your experience! thanks
I have also encountered the same problem. Got a notification several days ago about an update for my phone. Phone is rooted. Installation failed. Notification disappeared for a few days and popped again. Now I can't install the update or get rid of the notification. I tried root keeper from the market and it still didn't install. Now it appears to pop up every so often and will stay at the notification bar.
any suggestions?

I had the same issue over the past couple days and the annoying notification prompted me to do something.
This is thread is the solution to your exact problem: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1842142&highlight=counter
Basically, you have to revert back to stock recovery if you have cwm(like me) so flash that in pda with odin. Then updating didn't work for me via the phone (failed), so I had to download kies (from the link) and reboot pc, and connect phone and download. Root keeper didn't work for me. I also lost google wallet. But from this step on you can use the nontripping flash method which was updated here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1771687
and download custom recovery. Apparently even if you trip the counter though,(which you won't) you can triangle away app to get rid of it. Good luck! btw.. brightness toggle is added to the notification. Worth it for that alone!

Its been covered quitte a bit actually.if you dont want the update just let it attempt and fail and it should go away.
Other options are deleting the fwupgrade.apk and fotaclient.apk. also delete the downloaded ota located at /cache/fota (I think im remembering the location correctly).
Note: The update may fail either due to a custom recovery or running a deodexed rom. Root alone shouldn't prevent it.

Hi,
Since this moring my phone is constantly rebooting. It first started when I tried to update 6 apps via the market. I´m on Paranoid Android 1.9.9.1. it worked smooth without any problems until today. I´ve alredy tried to reflash erverything but everytime i get the same result: the phone working for a minute and then suddenly out of the nowhere rebooting even if i don´t use it. Then i tried to wipe my phone which didn´t work either. Neither via cwm nor through the settings. Of course i have already searched the forum for possible solutions but it seems like i´m the only one who has ever experienced it. Could someone please led me to a thread wher my problem is discussed or provide me a solution i don´t what to do . Thanks in advance for everyone who is trying to help me.
P.S. I found out that i doesn´t reboot if i do not unlock it. If i unlock it either with sim inserted or not it reboots. WTF???

Flash your phone back to stock first to see if that resolves the issue.

You don't need to copy anything to your sdcard. Flash back to stock using this.

If you have any CPU apps that apply settings at boot maybe that's causing the reboots

Hi all, I was trying to uninstall some of the softwares from my S3, I uninstalled some of them, those are some tmobile softwares. But I soon found out when I restarted my phone it just stuck at the "samsung" logo.I tried to install a rom to resolve the problem but odin just kept showing that "FAIL". I reinstall a clockworkmod.tar by using odin( I don't know why I did that...><). But when it finished and restarted again it could no long turn on again. Can anyone help me with this problem? I just bought the phone yesterday and I already went to exchange for a new one couple hours ago, no sure tmobile would let me exchange it again. PLEASE HELP ME!!!
You first might wan't to post in the right forum. You have the t-mobile variant, so go to your community and get out of ours... Please

If you see this post, you should just reflash your current Rom or any Rom will replace all the files you altered or deleted. Might undo all that you just did, but that's better than having a phone that doesn't boot.

Did you flash the sprint cwm through Odin?
This doesnt sound like a complete brick. Odin is pretty smart these days and avoids flashing the wrong stuff. And the recoveries are interchangeable between the us variants. that wouldnt of caused a brick

Help me help me please, I'm so stupid , I have an AT&T S3 unlocked and I'm currently using Tmobile...
I rooted my phone, and I used DEBLOATER FREE, to debloat some of the stuffs in the list. I was actually being careful with the selection. Anyway, I deleted some files, and when I restarted the phone. I'm no longer getting signal. Can someone please help me. I need to get it fix soon. Any helps and advices at this point would be greatly appreciated. Please by the way, i tried to go to setting ->More setting->Mobile Networks, and it freezzed and received a message "unfortunately, settings has stopped"
I used mskip's tool to rooted my phone, if i used that tool to relfash my stock recovery, would this solve the issue?
or I'm on ICS 4.0.4 right now, If i Update the phone to JB would this solve the issue.
Let me add one more thing that, I rooted this phone a long time ago, today i was being stupid and debloat stuffs assuming it won't affect my phone much

First of, thanks you so much. I don't think you attach a link for me yet. A quick update, I checked my imei, and it said null/null. so if i used mskip tool to do a efs partition would that solve the issue?
I'm downloading the ics stock rom right now, and I will keep you update. I will probably do it, via mskip's tool. What I'm wondering is, if i used samsung kies and update to JB, would this solve the issue also?
the phone is working fine, it's just i can't make call

I did more research and I think I narrow it down to EFS, mb i deleted my efs folder while debloated my phone, or some random reason...do you know any possible fix? because I didn't back it up. if I'm to re flash stock rom, do you think it will fix this issue?
I found this guide right here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1264021
so i re-flashed the stock rom using mskip tool, and now i can make call, but now i'm getting a bunch of messages like process android.process.acore has stopped, and touchwiz home error and i can't get pass that. Please Advise
[SOLVED] thank you so much, got everything back to normal. one more questions, since i re-flashed the stock rom, I can still access CWM recovery, but as i tried to install superuser, it said I can't...this is my first time so can you lead me to the right path?
Just re root your device using the same method.

Got it, Backed up and run as normal now. Thanks.
First of all I apologize if I posted this on the wrong forum. I am an XDA fan, this is where all get all the goodies for my phone but never actually post.
I flashed SlimBean4.3OfficialBuild1 along with the gapps they provided on their site (SlimMinimalGapps4.3Build1). As always I keep my apps backed up with TitaniumBackup but I downloaded the apps and it said my device wasn't rooted. I checked USB Debugging and enabled it and still no luck, then i downloaded SU from playstore and it gave me same message, no root. I do not know what it is and I am frustrated its late and I need to get up early. I will leave the phone as it is till I find a solution. Another big BIG issue is the screen flickering I have been getting and looked all over the web and i could not find a solution. I only been getting the screen issues with android 4.3 on all the roms I tried so far. I did get those screen flicker a long time ago but I thought it was because of the ROM i was on then I switched to another one and it was all good. I you would please help me find a solution to this. I feel like throwing my phone to the wall. I have a Samsung Galaxy S3 i747. THANKS IN ADVANCED.
I had to change the superuser app that I'm using before TB will register. I'm using SuperSU but I have to manually update it sometimes, or just download superuser from Store. Download Root Checker
(https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.freeandroidtools.root_checker) and it'll tell you if you're rooted or not. The flickering is way beyond me. I'm way too weak in the Force to go into 4.3 ROMS yet.

You have to activate root on 4.3 ROMs. Its settings>development>root set it to apps and/or adb.

Well, I had to re-flash a SuperSU update and that seemed to fix the prob. Even just flashing the latest nightly unrooted my phone. I'll try and find the link for you. Also, try a system, cache, and dalvic wipe.
