I started posting on a thread in the general section but think it is better suited over here. I apologize for the double post but thought it would get more eyes with a suggestion on it over here.
I was running a Stock ROM, rooted and unlocked 4.1.1. I have not been able to update to 4.1.2. I tried using CWM, TWRP, stock recovery and ODIN. CWM and TWRP give an error and won't install the update. I completely reflashed to stock and downloaded the OTA using the stock method. It tries to udpate and stops. After restarting it gives a message that the update was interupted.
I have tried installing the update through stock recovery with the file on the external SD card and the following message appears.
The other message that comes up when trying to update through stock recovery is
assert failed: apply_patch_check("/system/app/Facelock.apk", :c0c83a8c5d02786abed70758022dce17e1fb3a6f", "1bel1a17f8063aba12220a38a38caa7b3382ec96bbeb")

Flash stock rooted 4.1.2 in cwm or twrp, you can find it in room development, you need to flash modem and firmware first which you will find in loser skaters first post of stock rooted 4.1.2

It sounds like your stock Rom is rooted. Unroot and try again. Same thing happened top me this morning as i did the update.zip again for a project. Unrooted with SuperSU and then it ran like normal. Don't forget to back up your internal sd, as it will be wiped in the process
You can just flash the already rooted 4.1.2?
Unless you want to download it from att? Wouldn't make sense to me.

I had similar problem, but the error was with bootanimation. I found my original file and put it where the update was looking for it. I am willing to bet that the Facelock.apk is not in /system/app or there is a problem with that file.
I had no problems rooting my s3 and putting custom recovery but when I attempt to flash either cyanogenmod or resurrection remix I get the status error 7. Then if I delete the Assert portion I either get status 6 error or it goes into a boot loop and I have to reinstall stock again with odin. I have also downloaded notepad++ as recommended to no avail.
You need to be on at least MD5 bootloader/firmware.

I just looked on the firmware I flashed on my phone whenever it wouldn't boot and it is md5.
So are you saying you tried to flash MD5 and it would not boot? What were you running before flashing? Did you factory reset?

I have tried multiple roms and sometimes got error 7 sometimes error 6 and sometimes unable to boot, at which point I would then flash the stock firmware with odin on it and then it would work again, but I want to be able to put a firmware with kitkat on it.
Youd probably be best off updating to 4.3 firmware if you haven't already. If you're out of warranty there is little reason not to update imo.
Then use twrp 2.7.0.0 for your recovery. Some have had recent problems flashing with cwm.
If you still have issues, let us know exactly what steps you followed and exactly what you were trying to flash.

It came with 4.3, that's not the issue, I have tried both twrp and cwm to flash a cyanogenmod kitkat rom and I get the status error 7 at first, if I do what is said to get rid of that and delete the lines at the start then it gets a status error 6. At which point it no longer boots then I need to flash it back to the stock firmware.
Did you try the latest version of either Recoveries ? If its not the latest version you'd get error.
With the 4.3 firmware, you do not have to remove any Assert Lines from the updater Script. Just in case go back to the last stable release of CM 11.

Just updated to a newer cwm to no avail, still getting status 7 error.
What CWM Version is that ?
6.0.4.5
Please post the Recovery Log. Its present in /cache/recovery

You need a Root Explorer with Root access. Remount System as R/W in your Root Explorer.
Finally was able to do it I flashed a d2lte rom instead of a d2tmo rom.
I'm sure I'm not the only one that has had this problem. I've never been able to do the update to 4.2 from 4.1.1. After the download and reboot, the phone gives me an error message. AT&T was no help. I rooted my phone last year but I can't remember how I rooted it. Anyway, I want to update to a new stable ROM. My questions are, do I need to update from 4.1 to 4.2, then 4.3 and then 4.4? Or can I go from 4.1 to 4.4? And if someone could direct me to an easy problem-free stable ROM, I would be most grateful!

If your phone is rooted, you could have difficulties getting an OTA update. You could either unroot your phone from the SuperSU app or you could manually do a 2-step update to 4.1.2 and then 4.3. Unrooting should allow your phone take an OTA update if you are currently on a stock ROM. For manual update process, please follow the instructions below ....
1) Go to the first page in the thread below ...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=2387423
2) Download the 2 zip files under update412.zip and update43.zip respectively to your computer
3) Copy the zip files to a good quality (micro) SD card
4) Place the card in your phone and boot to recovery mode by simultaneously holding down the Volume Up, Home and Power buttons
5) Hold the buttons until you see a blue message flash across the screen. Then release the Power button but continue to hold the Volume Up and Home button until you see the Android image appear. Then release the buttons
6) Use the volume up/down key to scroll to <mount from external storage> and the power button to select
7) Navigate to the first zip file (update412.zip) and install. Wait for installation to finish and your phone to reboot.
8) Complete set up. Check your phone settings. Then power off and reboot to recovery again.
9) Repeat the process for the second update file.
The latest (official) Android version available for the i747 is 4.3 Jelly Bean. Android 4.4 (Kit-Kat) has not been rolled out yet for this phone so if you want the latest stock (official) system, that would be 4.3. If you are looking at a custom ROM, there are quite a few Kit-Kat based ROMs out there.

Usually, you get a status 7 error message when your recovery mode is out of date. Are you using stock recovery or custom recovery? If custom, would you know what version it is?

You shouldn't have any difficulties flashing the zip if you are on stock recovery. Did you verify the MD5 of the zip you downloaded to be sure it downloaded correctly?

What does MD5 stand for?
Earlier today I tried unrooting and downloading OTA but same problem as before....it cuts out early during installation, reboots and I'm left with 4.1.1

The MD5 (or checksum verifier) is an algorithm used to verify the authenticity and integrity of digital files. It is statistically improbable for 2 separately created files to have the same MD5 so verifying the MD5 ascertains that the file downloaded correctly and/or has not altered in any way from the original prior to your download. The download source for the files shows the MD5 of the original files so you can use the MD5 checker tool to verify the ones you downloaded. If the MD5 matches, then the file is OK. Otherwise, it didn't download correctly or may have been altered in some way.
http://winmd5.com/
However, the fact that you are unable to get the OTA update after unrooting suggests there may be a different problem with your device. Possible some security encryptions are preventing updates to the system. I'll suggest you back up your files and try doing a factory reset to return the phone to original settings then try the upgrade process again. Prior to upgrading your firmware, however, I would suggest you take the opportunity to free unlock your phone (if not already done). This can only be done on 4.1.1

Thanks for all your help, I really appreciate it. I've been working on this phone all day. I'm still having issues with the phone after doing a factory reset and a hard reset. I unlocked it also. The MD5s matched. It downloads the update, then when it goes to install, it gets to 25% then bypasses the rest. The phone still says its 4.1.1. After I did the factory reset only, when I went to update, it was saying there were no updates available...thats what led me to do the hard reset. I'm ready to throw this thing in the ocean. I thought the hard reset would put it back to just out of the box fresh but I still see old apps in there like SuperSU and Mobile Odin Pro. Perhaps those apps are messing it up? This really has me stumped. When I USB it to my laptop and boot up Kies, it says there are no updates available.
I just wiped the cache partition and did a hard reset again. This time I downloaded the update412.zip from the sdcard and I got the same original error: E:Error in tmp/sideload/package.zip (Status 7)

Please don't give up on your phone yet. It isn't that bad yet. The dreaded error message you are getting means that your recovery system is compromised. Also, once rooted, your phone stays that until specifically unrooted. Even a factory reset will not remove SuperSU and Mobile Odin and the definitive solution to un-rooting is to flash a complete stock image. However, you may be able to fix the recovery issue and get updates in a number of ways. First, you could reflash a complete stock 4.1.1 image via Odin. This will update all system partitions including recovery and should deliver a new and working recovery partition. It will also remove root and make it possible to get an OTA update to 4.3JB. You can download the Odin flashable file from Sammobile.com or from the following link ... http://www.4shared.com/get/zAmWJ54J/I747UCDLK3_I747ATTDLK3_ATT.html
Unzip and extract the *.tar file and flash via Odin.
The second solution would be to use Mobile Odin or Desktop Odin v3.09 to flash a new recovery partition. You'll need the same *.tar file for UCDLK3 but you'd only need to load the recovery partition. If this is successful, you can try the manual update process again.
The final solution would be to flash custom recovery via Odin and then flash the 4.3JB stock restore image via (custom) recovery. You could do the same 2-step manual update via custom recovery. However, a complete stock restore image is available for 4.3 which can be flashed via custom recovery. Please see the first page of the thread below ...

I finally did get it fixed last night, actually by one of your solutions there. I had googled the error message (status 7) and I found a thread here on XDA where someone said that because I had used Titanium to delete bloatware when I got the phone, I wouldn't be able to update until it looked right out of the box so I downloaded Odin and flashed 4.1.1. again. Thank God I didn't brick the phone with everything I did to it yesterday. LOL It was finally able to flash 4.1.2 then 4.3. Its disturbing all the threads I see going back to 4.1.1 from 4.3. Is there a huge issue? I'm going to try to find a stable KitKat to flash to. Thanks again for your help!

Glad to know it's now working. I think there's more fuss than fact to the 4.3 question. As far as performance and functionality goes, Touchwiz 4.3 is a major improvement on the older Jelly Bean versions. The main problem, of course, is that the bootloader can not be safely downgraded once you are on 4.3. This is only a problem if you need to free unlock your phone which is only possible on 4.1.1. Otherwise, you can safely flash a KitKat based custom ROM. I would only advise you stick with a stable like you've said and be sure it's one that won't try to mess with your bootloader. Most custom ROMs don't but it wouldn't hurt to make sure.

Do you have a recommendation for a stable Kit Kat rom?
I am trying to upgrade to 4.3 on an unlocked, rooted SGH-I747 that I am using internationally (in New Zealand now); however, when I tried to flash a clean 4.1.1 so I could update to 4.3, doing a factory reset and cache wipe, I successfully load the firmware with Odin but then it won't boot past the blue pulsing samsung logo I think I need to flash a new recovery partition, as you suggest below, but I don't know how to do that.

You could have installed directly from recovery without first trying to flash a fresh 4.1.1. This would have only been necessary if your 4.1.1 wasn't working right in some way. Try booting into recovery and then doing a wipe/reset. If your phone boots successfully after this, then try the 2-step update -first to 4.1.2 and then to 4.3 via the instructions posted earlier in this thread. Please let me know if this works.

Since you are apparently successful with Odin, can you try flashing an original stock image rather than the modified (pre-rooted) version you are using. You may download the original version from sammobile.com or do an internet search for it. The zip should be close to 1Gb in size but please make sure to verify the MD5 prior to flashing.

I did try an original stock, originally. I only tried the rooted stock after the original didn't work (got stuck with pulsing blue samsung logo). I'll try the one from sammobile.com (but I think that's where I got it the first time) and report back after I get off work late tonight.

I have Nexus 7 (2013) Flo and I tried flashing latest update using Wugfresh. I have KOT49H and want to go to KTU84L. I get an error message with 3 lines of information -
no MD5 file found
/system/bin/app process has unexpected contents
error executing updated binary zip
Can anyone help me figure out what is happening?? Thanks.
For the OTA to work the system partition must be unmodified.
/system/bin/app process is normally modified by Xposed Framework.
You will need to restore the file for the OTA to work.
Couple of items
I am not flashing the OTA. I haven't received it yet. I am flashing a zip I got from another website.
I do have the xposed framework installed. Specifically, what are you saying I should do with that???
You need to load the Xposed app go to Framework and uninstall.
Then the zip should work.
If not go to the Nexus 7 general section and go to [REF]2013 Nexus 7 Stock OTA URLs thread and download the OTA.
Problem flashing 4.4.3
I followed everything you got the same error messages.
If you are still getting the message about /system/bin/app process has unexpected contents.
You will need to replace the file from the factory image.
But it would probably be better to just flash the system from the factory image.

Yes, I think you are right. That is what I am going to do.
i couldnt flash the 4.4.2 update, due to the system partition, it was just easier downloading the whole image.
[Q] Need help in solving "Unfortunately, settings have stopped working" error
Problem: My unrooted SGH-I747 model AT&T GS3 recently gave me this error whenever trying to access the settings. The error shows up even after a full factory reset and I can no longer access my phone. Stuck a little after the language selection in the beginning stages of the setup.
Attempted fixes: Obviously, the initial factory reset. Then clearing the cache + factory reset.
After those failed to work, I tried to flash to a AT&T stock rom from this forum (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=33570269#post33570269) using Odin. I tried to use the first row of downloads but the first row but it did not have a MD5 file, so I used the second row of downloads instead but this rom failed to install. My guess is that it may be too old of a version.
I would appreciate any help.
[SOLVED]
The problem may have arose from a critical error in the phone's software that had affected the OS system of the phone. I resolved the issue by flashing a new custom OS (cyanogenmod) to my phone. These are the steps that I took:
1. Installing Odin (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1722686)
2. Rooting my cellphone with CFAutoRoot using Odin (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1725839)
3. Installing a custom recovery TWRP -- highly recommended very user friendly (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1793224)
4. Installing a new custom rom through TWRP-- used Cyanogen (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1778270)
5. Installing gapps (http://opengapps.org/?api=5.1&variant=nano)
6. Identifying the correct bootloader by downloading and installing Samsung Phone Info by vndnguyen through the Play Store.
7. Installing the correct bootloader and modem (http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3-att/general/rooted-ucufnj1-stock-rom-t2985006)
Please refer to respective installation guides for more instructions regarding installation of any new software.
I hope this helps anyone who may have run into the same problem.
Before attempting to flash anything, confirm the bootloader on your phone. An easy way to determine if the bootloader is 4.3 or newer, boot into download mode. If you see anything about warranty bit, your phone has at least a 4.3 bootloader and no attempts should be made to flash anything from sammobile.com.
If you have a 4.3 or newer bootloader, I recommend flashing a custom recovery such as TWRP, and then flashing a stock ROM from recovery.
First off, thank you for the reply audit!
Now I have officially rooted my phone using CF-Autoroot and have installed TWRP. I have also confirmed that the bootloader is at least 4.3 because it does show the warranty bit.
Which of the stock roms are compatible with this bootloader?
Do you want to stay on a stock ROM? If not, you could flash a custom ROM such as cm12.1 using TWRP. Once you have flashed a custom ROM, you can look under settings to determine the baseband on the phone which is another clue as to which bootloader is on your phone.

Just to be clear, cm12.1 is the cyanogenMod nightly?
Yup. If you flash it, your baseband may be unknown which tells me you are probably not running a 4.4.2 bootloader and modem.

I'll try it out and see if I can get past the language screen this time.
Got the latest Cyanogenmod Zip file onto my phone. Tried flashing it through TWRP with the install option but it failed.
Log reads that no MDS file was found, detected filesystem ext4 for /dev/block/platform msm_sdcc.1/byname system. Can't install this package on top of incompatible data.
CM12.1 won't have an md5 file. You're trying to install cm12.1 for the d2att or d2lte? You're running the latest TWRP which I believe is 2.8.7.0? or 2.8.7.1?

I'm pretty sure that CM de-unified the variants for CM 12.
From: https://wiki.cyanogenmod.org/w/D2lte_Info
Note: Unified device
Between the release of CM 11 M3 and CM11 M12, all Qualcomm-based variants of this device were merged into a single build: d2lte. The device information pages for the individual variants should be used to reference any device-specific unlock instructions, download recoveries, to build CM 10.2, or to install CM 12.1: d2att, d2cri, d2mtr, d2spr, d2tmo, d2usc, d2vzw.

I think this was just to make searching a bit harder/ more complicated.

For d2att and running 2.8.7.0 for TWRP.
You should be good then.
The file should be left unzipped/unrared when using it right? I'm using it as such but it keeps returning the same error message saying that it won't install it.
Yes, leave it zipped. What is the TWRP error message?
The error log:
detected filesystem ext4 for /dev/block/platform msm_sdcc.1/byname system.
Can't install this package on top of incompatible data.
Please try another package or run a factory reset

Weird, did you do a full wipe before trying to install?
Can't believe it was that simple. I thought I had already made the wipe when I did it with the original recovery but making a second wipe through TWRP actually helped make it happen. I finally got through and have full access to my phone.
Unfortunately, the cell service doesn't seem to work but I'm guessing that I need to do more for the set up?
Edit: Not recognizing the sim card for some reason
Sounds like you need to update the bootloader and modem to the older KK version which I think is ne4.
Sorry for the late reply I've been busy the past week. I'm guessing the modem won't work without the proper bootloader? I've tried flashing the latest and original modem from the Modem list (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1831898). While they installed successfully I still don't get a signal.
I was worried which bootloader to take because it may lead to bricking. Which one are you referring to and are they in the Bootloader updates topic here? (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2321310)
