Captivate no longer rooted after JH7 update

has anyone else found that there phone is no longer rooted after the AT&T JH7 update??? I noticed that the USB tether is no longer on the phone and went to use Barnacle Wifi Legacy and it told me that it only worked on a rooted phone. I checked BusyBox and indeed, the phone is no longer rooted. It looks like I have to start over. Has anyone seen any problems with re-rooting, lag fix or anything else after the update??

Samsung kies did the update for me when i plugged the phone into the computer. After it updated, it also broke my root and added all the att crapware again. I re rooted with no problems, and removed the bloatware. Phone is working great. I havnt really noticed any difference.

How did you do the update? I did it fine and root wasn't removed.

Has anyone updated with the Voodoo lagfix in place? I can always reflash the stock JF6 and then look for the update, but i am lazy.....

I updated through kies as well. Lost my root. used one click to root again and have had no issues.

I can't re-root! I want to re-root and install Unleash the Beast... I've downloaded it, renamed to update.zip... Put it in the internal SD, went into recovery and hit re-install packages and it no longer recognizes the update. I'm going nuts here trying to re-root... comes up... E:can't open /sdcard/update.zip (no such file or directory) Installation aborted ............... Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr... Help here..

That's odd. I did the OTA update by going into the system menu and selecting check for updates (I never installed the Kies software). I got the failed update message but the version showed it was JH7 after the restart, I'm still rooted and the bloatware did not reappear.
Also I never changed from the stock rom, I just rooted to get rid of the bloat and be able to sideload. I suspect those that did flash a new rom may have replaced the bloatware when they re-flashed to stock?
Hope this is helpful info for someone.

Same exact thing happened to me; Still rooted; Also have the JH7 suffix. Very weird, but all in all there are no changes to my phone.

How do you tell if your phone is still rooted?
(Yeah, still new to Android.)

My phone would not update...50% only whether I do it or ATT sends me the Update...Wife updated fine but was not rooted because I could not get into recovery mode until the update....then rooted hes...I Odin mine back to stock was on the phone with ATT for 2 hours.....Getting new phone

Never mind I used mini k I e s and the install went fine on both phones
No issues anymore.

Wasn't sure how to just open Busybox so I just has Titanium Backup Reinstall it to make sure haha.

Not a crisis, but could use some help

So after reading that the 2.3.6 update should not cause loss of root (i used zergrush oneclick), I decided to go ahead and do it OTA.
Unfortunately I was on a conference call for work and forgot to unfreeze the apps I had previously frozen with TiBu.
Started the update, it got to 75% and then said "update failed" and restarted. Everything seems fine.
I went into TiBu, unfroze everything and went back to update. I checked for the update and it is saying I am up-to-date, and to check back in 24 hours, but the phone is still on 2.3.5.
Any thoughts on how to force it tonight (or later if it does not want to do it on it's own)
Figured I would ask first before messing around anymore.

Yes push menu settings date and time uncheck automatic and change your date to a day from now manually then u can get the update

Thanks for the quick answer.
Unfortunately, while that did allow me to check again for updates, it is still saying my phone is up to date, despite showing as being on 2.3.5

I don't think the TiBu frozen apps prevented the OTA update... I was rooted using SuperOneClick 2.2 on 2.3.5. I did the OTA 2.3.6 update with 18 apps frozen with TiBu and it updated fine... I retained root... 18 apps still frozen... LauncherPro and all my widgits still functional. We're you on stock Recovery?

Vaguely embarrassed but I think so? I have a new kid so much less time to play with phones.
Took a stock phone, rooted with zergrush, added super user so I could use TiBu to freeze bloat and some of the advanced juice defender and widget locker capabilities and that is it.

Any solution for this yet?
I did the same thing, had mulitple apps and services frozen. I keep getting the already updated message.

mikeyinid said:
OK, here it is. But, after I was about halfway through the upload, I remembered I puller some stuff out. The main thing I was concerned with is the visual voicemail.apk. Hope you guys can get it from the market like we can on tmobile. Anyhow, here is the rooted 2.3.6 rom. Please, after first boot, go back into recovery and fix permissions.

Stop the OTA update and notice for root users?

OTA updates fail for me because I have done custom tweaks to my system.
With the last update before this one, it tried a few times, stopped, failed.. never tried again.
This time, it tried 2 times yesterday and failed. Which I expected.
However, I woke up to it having tried again and failed.. I thought it was over like last time.
Any idea on how I can kill this and stop it from trying to update OTA over and over? I don't want it.

you can delete the update in the cache/fota/, than freeze sdm 1.0.

I had checked there before and nothing.. but this time, since I delayed the update there it was. 30.92mb of update.zip. Going to copy it to my computer and then delete it.
But, what & where is sdm 1.0?

Android 5.0 Lollipop still not available!

Hi guys.
I used to get a notification which was bugging me to update to 5.0.
I blocked that ongoing notification through Gravity Box (Xposed)
I don't know what has happened, but now when I go to system updates, I see "your system is up to date".
I could have downloaded the update last month but did not because of some root issues. Now when I want to upgrade, I can't.
Any idea on how to get the OTA update? (I can flash the zip, but don't want to)
Thanks!

You'll have to wait for it to come round again.

Wait for the notification? But why? It was available a few days ago... Vanished after I installed the Closed framework.
I also installed eggster for different easter eggs. Can that be a problem?
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Free mobile app

The notification goes after a while if you don't accept it. You go to the back of the queue. Sounds like you've made enough modifications for the ota not to work anyway

Okay, this might sound stupid but... Making a lot of modifications disables the OTA or something?

OTA requires no modified files to apply. You'll still get the notification (when its your turn again) but the install will fail

I believe he means, too many modifications that differs from the OTA zip.
Restore the factory image, or side-load it.
I don't k ow if this method still works, but:
Google Services Framework, Force Stop, Clear App Data, then go check System Update.

Service cannot be stopped. Rebooted quite a few times now.
Looks like I'll have to install the factory image directly.

Flash the 5.0 image manualy in fastboot or better yet wait a bit more for the 5.0.1 image to be posted by Google.

The funny thing is, I got a notification to update even after rooting, patching apps etc.
It is only after I installed Xposed that the OTA vanished.
Some people say that even the presence of SU app can fail the update. Is it true?

Look in the general thread OTA thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/general/ref-nexus-5-stock-ota-urls-t2475327, the OTA is still available there. First reflash the latest 4.4.4 Nexus 5 image and after that sideload flash the OTA in recovery. Backup your files first before flashing 4.4.4 again.

I will flash the 5.0.1 directly now. Thanks all.

No no, its the 5.0 OTA. The 5.0.1 isn`t out yet for the N5

There is no link between modifications and the notification. The notification would have disappeared even if you were stock unrooted. The fact it disappeared after installing xposed is pureb coincidence

Oh okay. Thanks!

[Q] VoLTE OTA update from AT&T - do I need to un-root to be able to install this?

My G3 has 5.0.1 and I have rooted it. Nothing more.
I got notification of the latest update, which had VoLTE, something about Uber (which is already in my bloatware) and something else.
I have only rooted this phone, however while I was searching around on xda to see if anyone else has gone through this update with root, I found a 1-line fix to disable authentication on WiFi tether. I did that, and then some time later I got a pop-up saying my phone is suspected of being rooted, so the update would be disabled. I then reversed the WiFi tether change, and checked for update and it _seems_ like it is ready to do the update.
But, has anyone out there gone through this update while rooted? Did that work and you only had to root again?
Or do I have to un-root?

I'm in the exact same boat as you. Can't finish the update due to being rooted before. Even if you factory reset it will still say you're suspected of rooting.
Here is my thread just in case you want to give it a glance.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-lg-g3/development/to-pick-ota-trapped-root-t3106573
Here is the link to unroot back to 10D
http://forum.xda-developers.com/att-lg-g3/general/unroot-return-to-factory-stock-att-lg-g3-t2820827
I haven't exactly solved this issue yet but I'm working on it >.<
Btw don't use that unroot link just yet. I need to confirm and read around before finding out if it's a viable method for our situation yet.

To be specific about "un-root".
You don't mean that you simply unrooted via SuperSU, do you? I assume you actually restored back to stock KitKat 10d, correct? And then took the OTA update straight to 21l, correct?
(And where can you tell the phone to check for updates again? or did you just wait for it to pop up in the notification area?)
Thanks

I unrooted back to stock kitkat 10d and took the OTA update to 21l.
To check for the OTA update, go to General --> About Phone --> Software Update --> Update now
I did try to update when rooted before restoring back to stock. It failed during installation with a message about suspicion of rooting.

Yup I just had to go through all this as well. Luckily it all went smoothly and my phone is back up to spec and loaded the way I use it daily. Took about 12 hours of deliberate effort though haha. I guess I never really knew how much stuff I had on the phone and how much time goes into editing settings and logging into everything. Anyways UltraSuper you're right. Had to use the link I posted above using LG Flash Tool and go back to kit kat then you can upgrade easily to 21l, LG one click root, use AutoRec to flash TWRP then do your first backup just in case something goes south but it's doubtful. My phone is stable as it was out of the box.

So what does this update offer? Is it worth the hassle of redoing everything?

Did you do a twrp restore after the update? did Xposed work in the new update?
I may do this tonight

To be honest I went through the whole process and I'll probably never use volte. I did it more just to have a clean start. I've been flashing like crazy and things were starting to get buggy. If things are running smooth for you I don't see the value in it unless you're planning on using volte.

VoLTE. That is the only notable thing about the update. A couple of pieces of bloat are in there as well. VoLTE is still new and not available everywhere yet and is only able to be used by a select few models of phones. Read up on it and decide. I personally do not see the need for the hassle atm so will wait until another day.
