how do I get rid of update icon? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727

Maybe I'm an idiot....but I can't figure it out. I'm rooted and on stock recovery .tar. I have now,postponed the ucla3 update twice, but how do I get rid of it all together without installing? It downloaded automatically, I just don't want to install.

You would need to freeze device management and clear the update

After some searching, I found the info about freezing....the part I don't get is how to clear the update. Do I delete the files? How do I figure out which to delete? Sorry....I'm a newb and scared to delete anything without having difinitive info.

I would first try freezing device management with Titanium Backup. Reboot, and see if the update icon is still there. If it is, then I personally dont know where to clear that out without going into the file system.

I used Titanium Backup and just uninstalled the Device Management app. I have no problems so far or issues. Is this app. just used for The service provider to Update?

Camera roll not working

I rooted my phone and downloaded root explorer to be able to delete some of the sony crap that came with my phone. Unfortunantly I believe that I deleted my camera roll files. I have no idea what the file name is or how to get it back. Also I was thinking, is there possibly something else I could download in replace of it as some sort of patch?
Any ideas would be great. Thank you.

Hi,
Be just as easy re flashing your phone and re-rooting.
Next time watch what you delete too.
This does sound like a good idea....

Other than re rooting and back up and restore and all that I would have to do.
After spending over 15 hours to figure out how to root my phone and put 2.1 on it I am a little hesitant to do it again. Although most of it was trial and error, id rather just patch it up if I could.
ideas for this method?

Hi Again,
personally no point trying to re-install your camera if you do not know what you have deleted, follow these steps -
re-flash your phone using sony update.
root your phone again use this- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=906248
Then install your custom rom if you are doing so.
Just to add download titanium backup from the market and also install xrecovery the link is here, once xrecovery is working and you have your phone working how you want use xrecovery to back up your phone then any future problems you will just have restore using xrecovery again-good luck.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=859571
Please always have a backup it will save you endless hours of frustration.
All system apps can be found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=826849
The Camera Roll depends upon MediaScape being installed. So if you deleted that crap, then the Camera Roll won't work.

[Q] System firmware update problem.

Hi Guys,
Running the latest stock firmware here, but when I click on the system firmware update option, check update is greyed out and I'm told "There is a system firmware update for your device. Please check notifications."
Well there is no notification and I am running the latest firmware..... Is this a bug? Anyone else have this?
Ta
Paul
Hmm I assume by the lack of replies it's just me. I've tried plugging into my dock to see if that was the issue, but alas the same problem persists.
The notification is a little triangle in the status bar. It's not the most obvious icon.
Lastly, if you can download the update, you can rename it to update.zip and maybe flash it through recovery.

Ive gotten the notification recently but im on a rooted tf. when i click it, it just dissapears and nothing downloads or anything. Seems like a bug because im also on the latest firmware, even if it is the Prime rom. Plus only 2 or 3 ppl have reported it.

That's the file responsible for firmware update. If u are rooted, u can use titanium backup to freeze the file to stop the system from checking for and notifying of updates

Ta mate, I understand now.
Thanks for this --- had to Google to find this thread because a lot of people don't seem to mention it, so it must be a problem that isn't very widely spread.
I was wondering why I hadn't gotten an update since September! Finally, abnormal battery drain solved! Wooo
Clearing the data for the DMClient when the system says an update is available but has no actual notification to hit, should be added to the troubleshooting thread as a fix.
Many thanks for this tip !!!
I have the same problem but your advice doesn't work ;/

Flashfire forcecloses.

I downloaded the Flashfire apk in hopes I'd be able to flash from my phone without recovery and every time I try going into the app, it instantly force closes. Has this happened to anyone else?
It's probably because your bootloader is unlocked.
Honestly though I haven't heard of this.
I'm assuming you have the latest version and that you are rooted correct?
Has it worked at all on your setup?
Have you tried factory resetting, installing, and trying?
Maybe this might help someone who is more capable of helping than I am.

There is one thing you might try. Delete the app. Go to your root folder data/data and delete the eu.chainfire.flash folder. Download and install the app again and see if it works.

I can't link it for some reason but it is in the non carrier G4 section
Yup. Already rooted and debloated.

Yeah, works like a charm.
Has anyone tried this on a H810 10B VERSION?
How did you do the debloat? I tried manually going through and nuking various things with Titanium Backup and have managed to get into a spot where I randomly get errors like existing apps are missing dependencies. I should have stopped at nuking all ATT stuff and having most of the LG stuff not being loaded but not removing them completely. .
Anyone know where I can find all the LG Apps or a way to pull them back down without going back to a stock image then rerooting?

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.

Correct. Its like factory resetting but deeper. It wipes the entire phone, all partitions, and reinstalls. Like getting a new HDD and installing windows or linux.

Yes. Or, alternatively, you can do a back up in Smartswitch, wipe it all, then restore however this will not retain apps so best bet for the ones patched is to just keep your data partition the same..
