Just about everyone is having trouble installing the official JH7 OTA update... except a very few!
Those people who successfully installed the OTA JH7 (and got the "system updated successfully" message), please help your fellow XDAers out! We could use a Nandroid / ROM manager backup of your updated firmware!
1) Root your phone (using One-Click Root)
2) Install "ROM manager" from the market
3) Flash Clockwork recovery using "ROM manager" (select Galaxy S Captivate)
4) Backup your current ROM using "ROM manager" (save this as my-personal-backup -- you don't want to share this one)
5) Perform a "factory reset" (to clear out all your personal stuff, under settings -> privacy)
6) Re-root your phone (same as step #1)
7) Re-Install "ROM Manager" from the market, and then REMOVE your Google Apps account from Settings->Accounts and Sync
7 Alternate) Re-install "ROM Manager" via side-loading using attached APK and Sideloading Wonder
8) Re-flash Clockwork Recovery (same as step #3)
9) Make another firmware backup, and save it as "JH7-OTA-Stock" (or something)
10) Share that backup with us! It saved it in your internal SDcard memory under clockworkmod/backup
11) Restore your "my-personal-backup" firmware with "ROM Manager" to get back to normal
This will allow us all to try out the update. Thanks for whoever steps forward!
EDIT: I have attached my Titanium backup APK for ROM Manager -- you should be able to side-load this for step #7 "alternate"
If they do this and set up their market again, won't it save their username and password?
Wouldn't side loading Rom Manger be a better option?

Yes, good point.. does anyone have the ROM manager APK on hand to attach? I can get it, but if someone can attach it faster than I, go for it
This may be a dumb question, but does a factory reset restore the bloatware?

I think so... but it would only be temporary. Once you restore back to your first backup, the bloatware would be gone again. Yes, the backup you share with us may have bloatware in it... but we have become very efficient at removing it
Does a succesful update mean having both PDA and Phone firmware read
I897UCJH7? I'm not sure how I achieved the PDA updating to JH7 since my update failed. I had to restart with Odin JF6 then to JH7, flashed Cognition and Voodoo Lag and was surprised that i have JH7 on the PDA and Phone.

Successful update is having the phone say "Update was successful" after it reboots. If it ever said the update failed, it didn't complete the update. It may have updated a few things (which you see in the "About Phone" section) -- but I highly suspect it isn't a 100% update and key things may be missing.
Nothing from me. Update is failed at 50% so I am not going to be trying again in hopes of keeping my phone unbricked. Sorry guys.

I get a fail at 50% too.. the only way I can think of us getting this update is either Samsung fixing it (which is unlikely anytime soon), or someone giving us a ROM manager backup.
I think that most of the people that are sent to this tread are newbies that may be scared of the "Root your phone" part of it. Can we attach the link that explains how to do it?
Just a thought.
That absolutely describes me! Haha. I'm totally willing to help out but nervous as hell to root/flash my phone as I have zero experience with that kind of stuff. I have been following xda for years now, by have never really done anything like that. If someone would be willing to help me out I might be able to do this.
Edit: I suppose it would have been helpful to mention that I did indeed have a successful update.

Ditto, I think the people who HAVE successfully updated through OTA are newbs (I don't mean that in a derogatory way) because if they weren't newbs, they would have already flashed a few roms, played with rom manager, and used odin..... which wouldn't allow their device to update.

I added a link to Super Rooter Extreme on the first post -- this should get you rooted and allow you to "side-load" (e.g. install applications from memory, not from the market). Let us know, we will walk you through it!

Well if you have successfully gotten the update, look in the dev section and you will see a thread titled one click root by tgagruman. Download that zip, unzip. Put phone to usb debugging and open the galaxy one click root application. Click root and watch the screen. When your phone goes to recovery mode select reinstall packages and hit the power button. That will be it.
Next you can download the sideload wonder machine to install the rom manager apk on your phone. After that it is just making a backup through rom manager and making a zip to host.
Question. Why is everyone freaking out about this update is it not thesame as the jh7 put on samfirmware.com weeks ago?? If not what is the difference my dad has the same phone and i did the update for him today and it was successful. I told him i dont need it i already have it. Are they the same

My update was successful, and I am a newb. But ill give it a shot. I was rooted prior to the update, I still think I am... anyway to check so I can skip steps or do i need to start at the beginning?
A week ago I was notified that there is an update for the HOX firmware (I think version 1.85). I downloaded the package (~65MB). When the package finished downloading it did not install.
How do I install the downloaded file? I guess I have to do it manually somehow.
I tried to unzip the compressed file I found using Astro and restarting the device, but nothing happened.
Any tips?
Thanks
Same thing here. Even tried going into recovery and tell it to install the update...just reboots, no install. I called tech support and they told me to download the Zune software to manually install it via PC/USB?? I don't have one handy si haven't tried that yet but sounds crazy to me.
delete zip. problem solved.
read through the first couple of pages you'll find all you need to know.
fuhgetabout the stupid ota from da man.
root ! UNlOck ! DESTROY!
use the ruu just delete that stipd zip
go to your app drawer and click on every single anything that says att.
hit "disable". you wont be able to do the att2go or something.
lol.
no more ota.
I would first and foremost root your phone.
review the first few pages you will find all you need to know about "the update"...
hope that helps

A better question would be "Why are you on xda if you don't want to root your phone?"
Not trying to be a **** but this is a developers forum. If you are looking for basic android support, there are other forums better suited to your needs. That said, I highly recommend you root and ROM and all that good stuff. Best way to get the most out of your HOX.
i can accept that answer
Once the file downloaded did you accidentally hit postpone? Have you tried deleting it and checking for updates again?

yes I did.
it seems that the "check for update" button in the settings/at&t software update is stuck and doesn't respond.
Move your clock ahead 2 days, reboot and try again.

You can root after update but the boot loader will be locked so unless your OK with buggy safestrap I would just flash old and slows 4.3 rom until safestrap is straightened out.
---------- Post added at 07:46 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:35 PM ----------
well I guess I should say if you like stock (and don't mind the permanent locked bootloader) and all you want is root go for the update just make sure you only use saferoot to root your phone.
Same thing here, but...
I am brand new to this forum(as in this is my first post new) and I would like to ask for help with the same problem as the OP in this thread. I am on stock I535VRBMF1 but rooted and I would like to keep it that way. The only problems are:
I know nothing about how to refuse the OTA from Verizon or if this is even possible
I know very little of the "lingo" used on forums regarding Android phones (Flash this and ROM that and bootstrap this mean very little to me)
I don't know how long the phone will let me keep delaying the OTA update which it claims has already been downloaded and will be installed on the next boot cycle or when I let it. I have delayed it 2 times already.
And of course, I don't even know if this is the right place to ask for help. I am so used to being told to "go read the forum" and "use google; figure it out" that I am honestly not sure if I will get the same here. I am fairly quick to learn but this OTA just hit my phone today and I don't know if I even have time to learn.
I am open to suggestions and have already seriously considered trying to install a CyanogenMod on my S3, but I was "working up to it" and now I don't think I have any time left.
Can anyone advise me on how best to proceed to keep my bootloader from getting locked up permanently? I kinda like my phone the way it is, not that Verizon gives a rat's fart about that.
Any suggestions would be appreciated, if anyone has the time to coach a new guy, I would be forever grateful!

Use ES file explorer (download from playstore) and delete the file that already downloaded in this location /cache/fota
Next use Titanium backup to freeze the following files: otacerts.api, fwupdate.apk or fwupgrade.apk and sdm1.0.apk located here /system/app
Your phone will not update anymore. As long as you don't upgrade to 4.3, you're safe to keep your bootloader unlock or relock as you wish. If you update to 4.3 your bootloader is will locked permanently and no more custom rom/kernel or custom recovery for you. So don't update!!

OK, I was able to locate and delete the file in /cache/fota easily enough, but evidently there is some trick to using Titanium Backup that I am unaware of. I cannot seem to find any way of locating the files you listed at all. I tried refreshing the apps list(which apparently worked), but saw none of the .a[i nor .apk files listed in your reply. I see no way of navigating to the /system/app folder you mentioned. Maybe I need to pay for the donate version of TB to get that capability?
Thank you, by the way, much obliged.
Edit* OK, found "defrost" and found SDM1.0 and discovered that to use that feature I need to buy the donate version. Will do that and BRB. Still was unable to locate the other files, the fwupgrade/update etc. Only SDM. Edit2* OK, I got SDM frozen as instructed, still no luck finding those other apps from within TB.

How about use ES file explorer and navigate to /system/app and look for FWupgrade.apk (2 files same name). If you don't find them it's OK. Freeze SDM1.0 should prevent the software from downloading.

I found 2: one called "FWupgrade.apk" and the other was "FWupgrade.odex", both located using ESFE. Not to be completely dense, but what do I do with them now that I have located them? Is there a "freeze" function or similar in ESFE?
Also, no otacerts.api(nor .apk) anywhere.

Done and done. A few false starts on my end because I didn't know I had to set my file system |,| as "writable" in the options on ESFE, but once I got that option selected, the rest was easy.
Two last things and I will leave you in peace: first, do you have a thread here on XDA that is like a "ROMs and MODs for Dummies" that I could actually learn things without needing my hand held as you have so patiently done just now? Second, is the "Thanks" button over there the correct protocol for giving credit where credit is due?

Dears,
I'm having a problem in which I don't know how to solve, I tried searching before opening this thread, I found many who have similar problems but I can't do what they do to solve it, I'll explain why.
Problem: I have a ColorOS OnePlus/64GB - the seller had mentioned that he flashed the latest update of CM11 into the phone. I received the phone and it works perfect, can not love it more. However, I noticed that these apps (Root Explorer + Titanium Backup) are installed, I downloaded "Root Checker" to see weather my phone is rooted or not, and it tells me that my phone is NOT rooted. The problem now is how do I uninstall these apps? it seems they are "system apps", so they can not be uninstalled from Settings>Apps.
In all the other threads, topics, the answer would include (a rooted phone) to get rid of these apps, any solution? as I have no clue in Android developing, please bear with me.
Regards,
You cant delete sistem files/apks without root.
You cannot uninstall system apps without root. You will have to unlock your bootloader and then obtain root in order to remove these apps.

Would it be possible to just flash another stock ROM that doesnt come with these apps ?
At the end of day you'll need root. Just remove it using titanium back up, it's easy to do and I doubt there's a stock rom that just removes those apps and that's it. If you're looking for a custom rom, Mahdi is the best in my opinion.

I see that you had success with your root on the AT&T variant. I'm using to rooting Samsung phones, so this is definitely different.
Did you encounter any weirdness by just following the original post instructions? Any tips you can pass along before I take the plunge?
Thanks!
I found it very easy but I'm also familiar with low level tools.
If you follow the guide exactly, it should be easy. Just be careful with what you "clean" afterward or you'll end up like me with some weird issues.

Don't do it, it'll brick the phone. They only have a rooted image up for the H81010g.
Follow their directions for making a system image file of your phone.
There are directions somewhere on how to root your image file so look around if you feel comfortable with that.
You can also upload your 10b image to Mega or Androidfilehosts for others to use.

Block or freeze first! There may be some files you need uploaded on Androidfilehosts.com.
If you post a list of files you need in a new thread here, someone will help you. My phone is bricked, so I can't help today.
What do you freeze to stop the automatic over the air updates?
I removed most of what on the list in the "debloater" link to stop updates. Only drawback is I think I destoryed my MMS because I removed some thing I shouldn't have.

Check my Debloat thread, I think someone mentioned which file nuked MMS for them, but on another carrier. You can also try another MMS app. I don't like the stock one.
I also got carried away and deleted some necessary apps. I did a factory reset and went through the root process again and it restored the deleted apps and now all is well.
I didn't freeze the apps, I removed them completely. I need to return to stock to resolve it more than likely hah
Did you do the basic factory reset on the phone? If that's all you did, I might do the same .

I couldn't get past the startup screen once I reset because of the blocks. LGstartup keeps crashing making it so I can't get past it. Stock it is. And now the damn stock restore keeps failing too.
