Hello,
I'm back in home after 2 months trip in India & Nepal
My TF is still alive and I had it at Thorung La (5416m)
My tab is rooted and also CWM recovery is installed.
Before trip I frozen DMClient app, in order to omit upgrade notifications,
of course I can unfroze it now.
Two questions:
It is good idea to upgrade to ICS ? During my trip i red few posts about problems with ICS i.e. battery draining problem. My tab works perfectly now with 8.6.5.21
I know, I have to back to oryginal recovery before update, it can be done, flashing zip file from CWM, but I can't find zip file with oryginal recovery, full bersion name is HTK75.WW_epad-8.6.5.21-20111216
thanks.
Why not just flash a rooted ICS ROM? That way you don't have to install stock recovery just to do an update.
I dont realize that is possible I'll try to find thread about this at evening. What about my first question, upgrade or not? Did Asus fix any issues? Maybe best idea is to wait some time?

Ok, here is what I've done and where I am.
I'm using a Nexus S I9020T (original T-Mobile version). In the past I've used cwm custom recovery, flashed custom roms and obviously was rooted. The last flash I did, I upgraded to 4.0.3 stock and all went smooth, but as of right now I'm just not a fan of it.
So now, I've downgraded back to 2.3.6 stock rom. I'm also now sporting stock recovery and am rooted. I know this is a little weird, but I'm wanting the ability to do OTA updates using stock recovery, but also want root access, which is all working well at the moment.
But, I don't want to go back to 4.0.3 as of right now. So, is there an easy way for me to disable the system update notifications and stay on 2.3.6 right now and later on just re-enable them to do the update later.
From what I've read online, my best bet is to probably edit the build.prop file, but I'm not sure what content would need to go in there. I've also seen about freezing files, but I'm already getting 4.0.3 update notifications, so I'm not sure that will work.
Any help is appreciated
Hello,
I've upgraded a Skyrocket to ICS via Kies the day it was released (Rogers 4.0.4), wife's phone. Went very well, nice and fast no issues.
So now she can finally use Apex launcher (bye Go Launcher!), but adding certain widgets and others functions via Apex require to be rooted (root helper).
The only way I found to root this stock ICS ROM so far is to install CWM Recovery, via this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1722506.
I would like to root it without installing a custom recovery. I checked the methods listed here, but seems to be for GB only... I'll keep looking but if anyone knows... It's probably just too early, soon enough methods should pop up.
Thanks

no, u need to flash su, gb or ics its still the same process, maybe w/oneclick but i never tried that method
but whats the problem using cwm, its very safe todo and its y we can do so many things with our phones, and if need b u can always flash back to stock ics w/sammobile.com firmware files
afraid to say you'll have to have a cumstom recovery. SuperOneClick wont work. It actuallt will only work on GB 2.3.5. 2.3.6 wont. And I'm pretty certain ICS wont either.
Thanks guys, yeah I tried GB methods or rooting without CWM Recovery before posting, no go...should have rooted before upgrading her phone via Kies...
I just wanted to keep it as stock as possible for warranty reasons, in case something happens when I'm not around and the device has to be brought in to a Rogers store.
I've had mine running CWM recovery from day one, but I can restore it to stock without a problem, she's not technical at all... its her "Facebook" phone...
I guess CWM recovery will be going on there shortly...

You can flash back to 3e recovery without losing root. Unrooting is covered in post #10 here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1726445
Can someone help me to be sure my procedure is correct please....There are many different opinions and procedures on the Forum so I figured I would ask this question directly so I make sure I get it right.
I have a US gt-6210 that I flashed with ODIN to the UK ICS ROM (P6210XXLPL). Everything went well and I have been using it but I decided it is time to reset the tab. I have to unsolved issues with battery life and I want to start getting OS updates again....
A little while ago I tried flashing with the US ICS ROM but ended up in a bootloop so I just flashed back to the UK ROM.
I figure my best bet is to just do a factory reset and load either the factory original ROM or give the US ICS ROM another shot.
1) I want to avoid bricking my tab so what is the best way to reset to factory-I am on the Stock (UK) ICS recovery at this time
2) I don't have the original 3.2 image, is the Cellular South 3.2 (P6210UELA3) image from SamMobile the same or should I just use the Cellular South 4.0.4 ROM (P6210UELPC )
I am fine with using ODIN, I currently have the stock ICS Recovery and I am Rooted.
Thanks for help in advance....

I flashed JB on my gt-n8013, and then i wanted to return back to ICS as Kno doesn't want to run. So i downloaded the GT-N8013 from Sammobile and flashed it in.
But when it's rebooting it's kept hanging on Samsung logo and doesnt want to run. what can i do. Help please

try re-flashing.. or re-downloading the file... it might be corrupted
Well you need to boot into recovery and do a comple wipe unfortuantely you will lose all data
I would suggest to you that if you redownload the rom and it still does not work then you should try out a different rom, because it seems like you may have downloaded a rom for a similar tablet and now find yourself running into issues.

I Reflashed again JB UK 4.1.1 and it's working fine, but i can't switch back to ICS GT-N8013. I'm in exams' period and some of my studies on Kno :S and i can't get it working, i contacted them and told me they're still working on a JB version :S
Thanks all
Boot to recovery Factory reset .
Flash stock ICS rom via Odin .

You will loose ALL data on internal card so back up before doing this...

I'm having the exact same problem could you please post a direct link to the package that finally worked, what flags did you check in odin?
What he did was went from JB to JB for 8010 when JB to ICS did not work so he did not get it to work
Unfortunately there is no workaround when you go from JB to ICS you need to do a complete wipe to make it work
Hey,
I have a telus HTC One S and they just released the Android v 4.1.1 (my current is 4.0.3)
I've rooted my phone and installed CWM. But i would like to undo this to install the new ota update to this version. I assume this means i will have to :
remove super User
lock my boot loader using fast boot
Then using the RUU_Ville_U_TELUS_WWE_1.70.661.1_Radio_0.16.31501S.02_10.18.31501S.08L_release_254554_signed.exe
file install the stock recovery and rom?
Is this correct or am i missing something.

Right, go for it.
"IF I HELPED YOU HIT THANKS BUTTON"

You don't need to re-lock bootloader. Just remove superuser and restore stock recovery, then you are ready for OTA update.
So It worked but I encountered another issue, after the update was done my phone was unable to stay connected to the telus network.
it will connect to 4g with almost full bars for about 2 mins of which i can use data then it will disconnect me entirely, I can't search for the network or automatically configure it.
I took it to telus the sales guy played around with it reset the setting, nothing, then he Gave me a new sim (said it fixed his htc one which he did the same update last week) but it didn't work for me.
Does anyone know why this is happening or how i might fix it. They want me to sent my phone into for repairs but I don't want a loner phone for the 3 weeks it takes them to fix it.
I'm tempted to run the RUU again and sent my phone back to the stock 4.0.3 from 4.1.1 to see if it works and then try upgrading again.
Any advice?
maybe clear cache and possibly check the apn setting.
I tried that, and even factory recoveries with no luck so i returned it to Telus and hopefully it'll be repaired, It says re-locked and the tampered was removed so hopefully i don't get my warranty void'd if it is i'm sure i can down grade to the original os then load a custom rom and it should work
Just got my phone back from HTC
Despite having previously rooted my phone, they repaired it with no questions, and for free. Turns out my phone had a defective mainboard so once i updated the defect affected the phones ability to connect to the wireless network or something. But with the replaced board and with the new software update its working perfectly again.
