[Q] Official update while rooted?

Okay I am staring this thread because there are mixed answers in the official update thread and this might give one spot for noobs like me that are not flash addicts a place to find the quick answer.
Here is my setup:I am rooted, running a bone stock JH7 rom, ROM Manager installed, Circle Battery Mod installed, other than that no custom kernels, modems, radios, etc. I do have a couple programs that require root access like ROM Manager, AdFree, and ClockSync. Already installed kies mini and have it all set up per the instructions on samsung's website. Just waiting for the update to go live.
Here are my questions:
1) Do I need to unroot?
2) Do I or should I uninstall any apps that require root access or change the recovery image (ROM Manager/Clockwork Recovery)
3) Should I remove both my external SD and my SIM prior to flashing?
4) What data will I lose and how do I back it up? (I have read that SD cards are left alone just system data like call logs, sms, contacts, email setup, saved passwords are lost) I have Lookout installed so I know my contacts are backed up.
5) Could someone way smarter than me please do a quick write up that is more detailed on the steps needed to complete this update AND keep all your data? I don't mind reinstalling apps (just hope I don't lose all of my angry birds progress )
All of these questions are not address in any of the "official" information other than "you should back up any data you don't want to lose" but gives no steps on how to do it.

Same question here, I'm rooted with TiBU and voodoo lagfix and that's it., well besides deleting all bloatware. Still on eclair jh7. Wish I had done lagfix months ago, but I don't have a computer.
Hey guys, what's this button d....

same here, anyone guys help us out?ill add mine, I also installed OCLF by ryanz, do I need to undo the lagfix? or better to restore factory reset the phone before the update tom? ty, nooobs here >.<

If you have a modded phone the smart thing would be to wait at least a few days before installing the update in case the rollout doesn't go as planned. These are the kind of things AT$T has probably been dreading as far as Froyo is concerned because I'm sure that come tomorrow their customer service lines are gonna be blazing like a CA wildfire due to issues with not completely stock phones and thousands of different configurations causing update glitches. I wouldn't be in such a hurry to update until I see how it goes for the "gotta have it now" sheep taking the first plunge.

Remember OCLF is bad, Mmmkay? Better lagfixes such as Voodoo and ULF

All lag fix should be removed. Otherwise, you will very likely end up with a bricked phone.
You can install Kies Mini now and connect your phone. If your phone is recognized without problem, you're good to go. Kies Mini is your only way to update the firmware.

I can't answer most of your questions, but I will recommend getting Titanium Backup. You can at least backup your app data since you're so concerned about your Angry Birds score. I think you can probably restore that after flash.

Did you copy the TiBU folder to your PC after doing a batch backup of your apps? That's the only way to reliably save a backup.

Not to be a negative Nancy, I understand some want to stay as close as possible to stock, but I'd just wait for a custom ROM to be built that de-bloats, adds speed, better GPS, etc... Cog 4 has a really stock look, and works really well; check it out. And with time there will only be others that will improve on the great ROM's we already have!

The other smart thing to do would be locate the TiBu backup folder on the external SD card. That way even a brick requiring reformatting the internal sdcard partition can be fully recovered from. Just take out the external card while restoring to stock, then root, get TiBu, point it to the reinserted external sd card, and boom, back in business.

You should use OCLF app to remove the lag fix. Don't do factory reset or flash another ROM. You may brick your phone that way. That's why I don't use any lagfix.

Yes You should be a bone stock when updating. No lagfixes, custom kernel, nothing.
All questions for the 2.2 update are in the main thread

Temp root behavior?

I am considering temp rooting my phone so that I can remove/freeze some bloatware, but I am not certain how it will work. Given that temp root goes away if you reboot, will the frozen/removed apps be unfrozen/reloaded it time I restart my phone? Does it make a difference if I use Titanium Backup to do this or is there another method that makes the freezing/removing permanent? I am not ready to fully root and S-OFF my phone since I am already on my second unit and I need to make sure I wont be sending this one back as well.

I want to remove bloatware as well.

Why? I rarely use it, and have only installed it a few times but don't usually keep it installed.
Honestly it's not necessary, but does let you easily install a custom recovery in some situations. For an S-OFF device there are much easier and more convenient ways to do so.
For the first few months we had the device there was no official recovery and ROM Manager was dangerous to use (not so anymore)

Press "flash recovery" and grant Superuser permissions. Not that hard.
Delivered via candygram for Mr. Mongo.

Haha I didn't realize I was so far out of the loop! With my phones, I root to get access to system folders, system apps, and to run adfree. I don't flash ROMs at all and always keep stock ROM. If I saw "ROM manager" before, I probably brushed it off without thinking because I associated it with custom ROMs.

ROM Manager also allows you to flash ClockworkMod recovery and fixes your apps permissions. Once we get AOSP on this phone, you'll see what's really available.

That is 100% normal when using the bone stock rom. Thats why 95% of peeps who root use a custom rom.

Not only that - but i've noticed on the stock ROM every time I plug my phone into a computer without rebooting first it locks up and restarts - I have yet to have this happen on my ROM or any of the others I used before that.
Once you root the stock ROM, it just doesn't seem to work as well, and I had the restart issue before root was available for us with this device. At first I thought it was my computer doing it, but now with an older desktop in service it happens on that too, and other random computers I plug into that my friends own too...I dunno.
There is a lot to be said for running a custom ROM instead of the stock one, beyond all the little fixes and enhancements they bring.
...but, that's why we all work together here to constantly bring better software with more support for these devices all over XDA.

When is the last time you cleared cache and dalvik-cache? That might help with some of your issues.
I wrote a flashable-zip package that will do just that if you don't want to do it manually, it does a wipe (not format) so is compatible with all 3 clockworkmod recoveries we have available, since 4.0.0.8 and 4.0.0.9 don't implement the format command correctly.
Blue6IX said:
Third one is: Blue6IX_C01_Wipe.zip
MD5: a8c57de781b2abfca2dfcdcae57d439c
This one will wipe the /cache partition and also wipe dalvik-cache. Use this one if you are having problems with specific apps, especially when changing to a different version of an already installed app.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Either manually doing it or flashing my script might help with your issues, or might have no effect.
The next time you boot after doing so the machine will have to rebuild both cache and dalvik-cache, so it will take a little longer to boot that first time and after it's done and has sat for 5 minutes or so you should reboot the machine again before using it, just to get everything worked out right.
Hope it helps!

Galaxy S Blaze Rooted, Now What?

Hello all! I'm a total noob to the Android world. I've been a user of iPhone for the past 3 years. Lol. Just picked up the new Galaxy S Blaze yesterday and I've already Rooted it. I know lots of Dev's are on the way for this device since its still relatively new. But my question is, what can I really do with it now that its been rooted? How do I get rid of some of the "Bloatwares" on it? I know there are lots that T-mobile put on the phone. Thanks for any help!

to remove the bloat, i used titanium backup. Not only is it good for removing the apps, but its also great to backup and restore apps when/if we get roms.

Titanium is a must...other things you can use to remove bloat as well are ES file Explorer or Root Explorer. Root Explorer is not free, but I use it regularly. I always suggest renaming files rather than deleting them.

Before uninstalling an app with Titanium, I use the "Freeze" option first. It stops the app. If i have no problems, I delete it. I made the mistake of uninstalling something that someone on here said was safe to uninstall, and I started getting errors. I went back to stock to fix it.

I'll also point out that I seriously can't tell any difference at all between "freeze" vs. uninstall.
What I mean by that is, if I freeze an app....it's effectively gone. The apps I knew I wouldn't use, or wouldn't want on the phone I first backed up, and then hit uninstall. If TitaniumBackup gave me the prompt about the app not being deodexed (basically, it's kinda like integrated in the rom if it's not deodexed) I would just freeze it. I mean, seriously, who cares about the stupid free megabytes counter in the phone.
I'd never know the difference between freezing and uninstalling.
In short.......hooray for freeze!

Yes, I froze the BadgeProvider 1.0 and the phone had some problems. I went to un freeze the app and it said it was un freezing but never did. So I just reloaded my backup.
If everything is working fine on your phone I don't see any problem with leaving them frozen.

Yeah, that wouldn't be something I would freeze myself. You'll stop getting missed call notifications, or so I read anyway.

Another good uninstaller/app freezer is Root Uninstaller Pro. I used that to freeze and/or eliminate my T-MO and samsung bloat/crapware. It also gives me a bit more control over other options involving any apps on my phone, such as letting me back it up or obtain it again from Play Store should I need to do so.

I've found that it works best when the phone is hooked up to your PC. Hold down volume up, volume down AND power all at the same time. Once you see the following message on your phone, take your finger off the power button only (being careful not to accidentally do it twice - that shuts off the phone), then take your fingers off the volume up/down. The message starts like this:
Warning!
A custom OS can cause critical problems...
Near the bottom, it will tell you to use volume up to continue, and so forth.
BTW, there is a wonderful post in the development section of the Blaze area that tells you how to root the phone using ODIN. Read it carefully - that's how I rooted mine!
Hope this helps!

How to disable update notification

Hey guys,
First off, I am an admitted noob. From what I can tell, updating to 2.20/4.04 will un-root your device so I'm looking for a way to disable the update notification. Is there a way to get it to stop bugging me until 2.20 is rooted?
Also, how do upgrades generally work when you're rooted and want to maintain root?
Thanks!

Hey mine was bugging me and I just cleared the data for updater and it hasn't bugged me for the last two days.
Settings > Apps > All > Updater
Then clear everything you can (cache,data)

To flash a rom you need to unlock the bootloader which will wipe all user data not your sd card just data.
Sent from my Nocturnalized Beast

Normally with OTAs, after the OTA is downloaded, you will have the option to install or not. Just cancel, then delete the file from the SD card. Somebody will have to verify this is the case (haven't gotten the notification, personally), but that is normally how HTC does it. You have to be really careful not to hit the wrong option. But once you've cancelled the install, you won't get any more notifications for this particular OTA.
Really, the "settings" method suggested by footbal9584 seems much safer (as a wrong button press will actually install the OTA for my way). But if his method doesn't work, you might try mine.
Also, all the info you will probably ever need about unlocking the bootloader, flashing ROMs, etc. can be found in my Index thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1671237
There you will find a method for keeping your user data while doing the bootloader unlock. But honestly, I'd recommend not going through the hassle. If you intend to flash custom ROMs, you should wipe data anyway.

Nandroid is a full backup of the ROM, all user data, apps, and settings. If you are flashing custom ROMs, that is not what you want for restoring user data, etc. But its a good idea to do a nandroid backup of the stock ROM, in case you want to go back.
Titanium Backup is great for backing up user apps, and some settings. Some people use it to restore various settings, but this can be problematic, as all ROMs don't treat this data the same. Personally, I just use Titanium to backup and restore my apps and app save data, and sometimes WiFi and Bluetooth pairings. But I configure everything else manually. Usually takes me about 20 minutes to do it all when moving between ROMs.

Did not work for me -- I started getting chain notifications, hella annoying.
NOTE: even when the only available button is 'Install', the back button on your phone still works.

If I freeze the updater, will it break my phone?

I do not know I highly doubt it would but no guarantees. I cleared my data before it downloaded anything it just started the "there is an update you cannot use tour phone during install do you want to install now" I postponed it 8 hours a few times, but then just cleared the data and still haven't gotten any notifications.
Maybe see of what the other user said is correct maybe the update was downloaded to your phone and you need to remove the file before it will leave you alone.

At least on other devices, if you let the OTA download, then cancel it, it should stop the notifications. Can you confirm or deny this?
You can then just find the file on the internal SD and delete it. At least that is how it worked on the HTC Flyer.
If you can confirm, this would probably be a handy method for others. At least one other person is asking how to cancel the install (and other that want to stop the notifications, I'm sure): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=29903041

Update: nevermind I restarted my phone today and ad soon as it booted up I got the is your last time to postpone message so I cleared updater again but now every time I unlock my phone I'm prompted to update and just have to push the back button. Sorry I'll keep looking into it.

Ok the file did download on me, it was in the download folder on the sd card named OTA-Evita........... So I deleted it and I'll post back soon with the results.

Finally got my last chance to postpone. Glad you posted exactly where it was located. Deleted and hopefully it wont update.
Thanks!

Hey mine was bugging me and I just cleared the data for updater and it hasn't bugged me for the last two days.
Settings > Apps > All > Updater
Then clear everything you can (cache,data)
Good luck

Thanks for this info. I went one step beyond that and backed up and uninstalled the updater and updater setup within Titanium Backup. Will report back if anything gets messed up.
