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.

Thanks, I actually may have fixed it by accident. I used odin and again and used the PIT this time and then went into 3e and went to the option to delete user data and when the phone rebooted i went thru the setup guide and skipped everything. I then went to the market and it had me go thru the google sign up guide and i signed into my account and then i went into the manage applications and saw that the market version was 2.3.6 so Im not sure if what i did worked or if it was just me.
Just FYI it auto updates to the latest version. Had the same thing happen to a new Infuse I picked up today for my wife.
Hers hadn't updated after 10 minutes so did the following (posted on a Google help forum I can't link to because I'm noob):
Delete the market's cache and data and force close it, reboot your phone. After reboot start the market wait a minute go back to home and then restart the market.
This "worked" for me, but waiting a little longer or rebooting may have been what actually fixed it.

I did delete the cache and data and i waited like an hour and it didn't update. Whatever i did before worked.
Thanks for your help.
try downloading an app, it should then say updates available in the notification bar, it may automatically update or you can go into "my apps" and see the updates. if that doesnt work i guess i can pull the apk and post it
I got it figured out, but before it did update some apps.
It eventually changes, mine stayed liek that for 3 days i think then just changed to the new one...
i kind of like the old one tho.
Don't know what went wrong, but every time I try to update to 2.3.6 I get an error image and then it reboots. Done this 5 times and its driving me crazy

Are you rooted? If so what modifications have you done?
Have you uninstalled any of the stock bloatware, even if it was uninstallable without root? The update requires all bloatware to be installed.

Seriously people, search before you post!! We have covered this at least 10 times!Anyways, If you have deleted any of the AT&T bloatware the update will fail. It is STRONGLY recommend that you flash the fkz's to get back to stock before you apply the update, especially if you have rooted and performed any mods. Just be sure to re-root and apply the 4ever root mod to keep root over the OTA.
Or just wait for lfaber to make something awesome with it!
Thanks, I just now stumbled on the other thread's also saying the same thing my bad. And also another question why is the bloatware so important?

It's not that it's important... it's that the update file is filled with a bunch of patches, some of which are for the bloatware, and so if the bloatware isn't there the patches don't install and the update won't begin (it checks everything at first.)
Oh ok thanks
It's not working for me too . I removed alot of the bloatware yes any solution beside restoring fxz ?

Sadly not...
you can just wait for custom ROMs to be based off of 2.3.6 and flash them... this update really isn't very major.
How can I tell if it's even trying to update. I manually started the update about 4 hours ago, but it doesn't look like anything is downloading. When I click on system update again, it says an update is currently being downloaded, but according to 3G watchdog, my wi-fi usage isn't changing. If I turn off wi-fi, it says the download will resume when wi-fi is back on, but the percentage is at 0%, and when I turn wi-fi back on, it stays at 0%.
If it's going to error out, does it not say something? I'm not getting any indication that it failed. Is there not a progress bar in notifications or anything? At first, I figured the server was just busy, but after 4 hours, something should have downloaded by now, right?

A reboot can't hurt.
Ok i had issues upgrading to 2.3.6 tonight.. I realized i had stupidly uninstalled YahooContacts.apk and FMRadioService.apk... As we know Titanium can't restore these. However what I did do was this:
open /cache/recover/last_log in a text viewer
scroll to the bottom, it will tell you what is causing the installer to fail.
Mine i could clearly see it couldn't find FMRadioService.apk I took the .gz file from the titanium backup directory, un-gzipped it, renamed the .apk to FMRadioService.apk and placed it in /system/app I then re-tried the update, it failed again, repeated with YahooContacts.apk
and viola... all was well..
-t
I tried that. The progress bar that was stuck at 0% went away after reboot, but it's still not downloading anything, as far as I can tell. That's why I was wondering if there is any kind of progress bar normally.
I'm thinking that, since I'm at work, our wi-fi is blocking it. I can't get it to download over 3G, so I guess I'll wait until the morning, when I'm home.
BTW, if your phone dies ("Battery Low - Cannot program" message) while trying a rollback to 2.3.5 try the following procedure. It's risky but I was able to bring my Atrix 2 to live:

Ok, this morning my phone started downloading the VZW update. I'm stock-Rooted with Wallet and Google Now running. When the update was finished downloading it gave me a few minutes to accept or to defer. I chose the defer button and then it ask's me to pick a time later today to do it. How do I get out of this? I don't want to run the update.
Thanks

Download Titanium Backup from the Play store, run it, go to the Backup/Restore tab, scroll down to "SDM 1.0" and uninstall it. You should probably make a backup of it first just in case you ever need to get it back, but I've never read of it being used for anything other than pushing Verizon OTAs, which you will probably never want to receive if you're rooted.
If you have the paid version of Titanium Backup, you can "freeze" the app instead, but uninstalling it with the free version works too.
Thanks, I really appreciate your help
I tried freezing it before I received the update and that didn't work. Guess its somehow overridden by Verizon.

I have not received any prompts for OTA updates yet and was curious as to why that is. Apparently, some ROMS are coded without the SDM 1.0 file because I am running Clean ROM 2.5 and cannot find SDM 1.0 anywhere in the list. Another reason why Scrosler and CleanROM are boss!

Any custom ROM worth its salt should not include the SDM app, CleanROM isn't special in that regard.
Hello, I have been rooted since I got the s3 pretty much around launch. Today around lunch I noticed an update download progress so I swiped down, long-touched, and the process said SDM 1.0. It had just finished downloading and then telling me to install now/later.. I paniced and put Later and then I specified 10am tomorrow... maybe I should have killed it?
Anyway, why the heck did I get this notification? I have been rooted forever loving my Dandroid ROM... will my phone screw me over by installing 4.3 tomorrow?
I have twrp 2.4.4.0 installed and making a backup now just in case, but I'm worried that it's going to install 4.3. I have never had an OTA update since I rooted this phone.
My ROM is 4.1.2 and I like it the way it is.

Since you're rooted, use a file explorer to navigate to /system/app and delete "sdm 1.0." Or if you have Titanium Backup, uninstall the system app "sdm 1.0" and you'll be all set. The update.zip downloaded to /cache/fota which you'll want to delete using a file explorer.
By removing "sdm 1.0" in either of these two methods, you will no longer be prompted to update and your scheduled update reminder for tomorrow won't occur. In addition, if you go to Settings/About Phone and "check for update," this will cause your settings to crash. Don't worry, this is intentional because you removed this file.
Edit: Yes, your phone will screw you over and lock your bootloader down in the process if you accept this VRUCML1 4.3 update. Just being honest!
Thanks, SlimSnoopOS!
I did the app/update removals with Root Explorer. I went to Titanium initially, but I did not see an uninstall option, just freeze or remove.. but the remove option gave me some yes/no popup to use some recovery trick and I said to myself... yea going to Root Explorer. I'm just wondering why I got this push in the first place...never got any notifications from VW/Samsung since I rooted this bugger.

Hey, as long as it works! :good::good: haha If you're using a VRBMF1 4.1.2 based custom rom, then this is the first update since VRBMF1 was released last year on our S3. Alls well that ends well of course.

For some reason my phone has been very slow since about a day or so after my initial post. I have done nothing except delete the files. I am starting to wonder if maybe my device is just getting old... I've had it since it launched...now I'm really thinking about the S5. LOL
Anyway, just wondering if anyone has had a degradation of performance with their S3 lately... the most noticeable lag has been with Twitter and Facebook. For example, I will click someone's Twitter post to see replies or a picture that they posted with the tweet, but it takes forever for that information to load..Facebook is not as slow, but still noticeable (e.g. clicking to see comments).
Ok so I rooted 7 days ago from a clean install from odin and did all the trickster/interactive, force gpu etc to make it running smooth. But today I started experiencing apps like soundcloud crashing and giving me notifications it stopped, and then finally google play did it, now I just figured restarting the phone would normally fix it. But no, all it did was reboot, after the carrier sign it just vibrates and keeps vibrating and never boots up even after 15 minutes.
So I decided to just do a clean install and unroot again with my sammobile download. So I rooted AGAIN and shortly after, it started doing it.
Then I did a clean install again and rooted, now it's working fine for now. Anyone experience this? I have 20 days to return the phone, I got it from swappa
The same thing happened to me out of nowhere. I've read elsewhere of this happening to other people. I don't know what causes it. A clean install should fix your problem, but no telling when or if it will happen again.

You were rooted right? has this ever happened while you were stock?
I was rooted, the only thing that may have been different than the op, was the I had xposed installed. But as I said. After the clean install of the most recent firmware the crashes and boot loop stopped ave battery life improved as well. Also this has never happened to me until I rooted my device.

You need to use Titanium backup to freeze the Security policy update agent. I've had the same problem and after doing a search I found this thread with a lot of useful information.

lol No I'm not sure it works but someone else is sure it works. I'll be honest with you. This is my third attempt at rooting this phone. I rooted when the option first came out and 1 week later I got bootlooped so I went back to stock and rerooted. A week later bootloops. That's when I gave up until more information surfaced on my problem. And behold it did. That's when I learned about freezing the security policy update. And it makes sense to me too.

Corwinder is absolutely right. I read through that thread as well. AS SOON as you take that POLICY UPDATE that it tells you to accept, you're done. From that point on its only a matter of time before you experience a BOOTLOOP. NEVER UPDATE THE SECURITY POLICY WHEN IT POPS UP. DISABLE SECURITY POLICY. Haven't had a bootloop in 4 days now.
Corwinder I'm actually on my third root as well, hah. Third time is a charm. I just want to restate that it's not just disabling security policy.... If you accept that security policy update pop up which happens probably ~5mins after you rooted, you're going to bootloop. You can also disable security policy updates in settings. Do this as soon as you root. Settings -> Lock Screen & Security -> Other security Settings -> Security Policy Updates -> Turn off automatic updates.
Thank you guys for this thread / help.
Woke up today and wanted to see what offers were available on T-Mobiles Tuesday App. Said that the app needed updated, then Google.playstore keep crashing. Reboot phone and ran into the famout bootloader screen / process.
Saw this thread days ago and followed the steps and I "think" im good now.
Step that I took :
Reflashed PG1 through Odin v3.12 (Prince Comsy)
Reapply root / SuperSU
Disabled security policy settings by going to Settings -> Lock Screen & Security -> Other security Settings -> Security Policy Updates -> Turn off automatic updates.
Downloaded TitaniumBackup / Flashfire
Applied fix+debloat script via Flashfire
Deleted more Bloatware through Titanium Backup.
Enjoying fast, responsive phone
