Sprint 4.1.1 Jellybean OTA install Error - Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have downloaded the OTA update for the 4.1.1 Jelly bean 3 times now and every time it ends in error. The last time I tried I even factory reset the phone incase an app was causing the error. I have a complete stock phone, no roms.
What happens is I get the notification that the update is ready and I click to install it. It reboots my phone and brings up the icon with the Android robot with the spinning cube. After a minute or so I get an icon with the robot laying down with an exclaimation mark over it and it reboots back into the 4.0.4 Android.
This blows. I have been waiting for this update and now that I have it, it screws my phone. Can anyone please help? THANKS
Steve

Do you have the stock recovery or are you using a custom recovery?

[Q] stock MB1 firmware image available

Hi all-
I'm new posting here, but I've been reading for months. I first wanted to say thanks to all the developers and other helpful folks here. I have a VZW GS3 - rooted, unlocked bootloader, currently running CleanRom 6 with KindaCrapMods and TWRP 2.5.0.0 as my custom recovery. I've had a few problems here and there, but with the help of the search feature and a little reading, I've always been able to sort things out. THANKS!!!
So, on to the question. I noticed that there was no stock 4.1.2 firmware (MB1) available for a long time after it was released for OTA. I figured that this was because it was a relatively small patch, unlike the previous leaks and OTA (e.g. LK3), which were a full jump in Android API level. Maybe Samsung had not released a full version that could be flashed in Odin, or maybe it just hadn't been compiled by a dev yet. Anyway, I noticed a couple of days ago that there was an MB1 firmware posted at samsung-updates.com
Does anyone know if this is the real deal? Is it full wipe? If so, then it should be helpful to those who are looking for a way to get back to MB1 stock without having to go all the way back to LK3 and then take the OTA. Also, maybe now that we have a full Odin-able MB1, we could get an update to the Factory Image root/unlock guide by open1your1eyes0 or one of the other root guides.
Thanks again!
I just downloaded and flashed it via Odin. It is indeed MB1 and full wipe. It booted up fine for me. No issues thus far
Hmm, appreciate the heads up on this
Nice. Thanks for posting this. I hadn't seen that they had the 4.1.2 download up. For some reason it is hard to find an image of this rom completely stock. Thanks!
So why should we flash this? Sorry noobie

To return to factory, bloated stock. Flash it via Odin to return to stock.

Gonna have to do this on mine to get the latest OTA.
There's nothing wrong with my current rom but the new OTA won't install because I used Titanium Backup to get rid of some of bloatware, which of course is among the things the OTA wants to update. For example, there is no longer an All-Sharecast app on my phone. Never used it. Don't need it. Blew it away. However, not finding it, the whole OTA aborts.
N/m
Turns out it was a very good thing that I found this. The new MD3 OTA sent my signal strength down the tubes. So I used this to Odin back to MB1 stock. I did a full wipe, loaded TWRP, then rooted, unlocked bootloader, and went back to CleanROM6 R2. All is well again.
If it ain't broke...

CM10 HTC One XL

Hey guys,
Hoping someone could help me out.
I just flashed and installed CM10,
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1790032
Even since I installed it my data connection for mobile data no longer works. My signal has decreased drastically to only 1-2 bars max.
I can still make calls and text, but can't use my mobile data at all.
Any ideas?
Please help!

Did you do full wipe (reset,cache, and dalvik) before install? Get the correct Rom for type of phone (GSM, CDMA)? Have the correct version for your hboot and radio? Need some details

Help to Unroot-Back to original

Hello All.
So I rooted this S3 when the latest firware was the 4.2. My wife took the OTA update for 4.3. The phone did not brick or lock. Now I need it back to original but everytime I book the phone it says the SAmsung logo and at the bottom it has an open lock. Also when on download mode it says it has a custom firmare and has a counter. When I ran a root check software it says it is not rooted. When I do the Vol Up+Center+Power it do not go to custom recovery no more(I believe I had clockmods ot TW) I just need to have the phone back to original so I can sent it to verizon since I upgraded phones. Thank you

The counter will not reset upon Odin flash, at least it didn't for me. The padlock did disappear the first time I flashed but its back.

[Q] Trouble after flashing ARHD 8.1

Hey, I have been flashing stock kernel ROMs on my new HTC One M8 without any trouble, except for when I want to run ARHD 8.1
I am on 4.4.2, fully rooted and S-Off, and the flash and AROMA installation breezes through no problem.. the phone goes black for a while then comes back on in TWRP .... from there i reboot, and when it brings me to the Android setup screen i cannot continue due to persistent error messages stating that "Unfortunately com.systemui has stopped" .. another process or two also stop and persist via error dialog (SmartcardService i believe is one, i can double check if i really need to).
I am forced to 'adb reboot recovery' through command prompt and restore my nandroid backup.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated, thank you.. :cyclops::good:

I am having the same exact problems. Errors keep popping up after the install. Tried wiping in recovery instead of aroma still didn't work. I'm on firmware 1.55.605.2. Very perplexed. Could be that the firmware needs to be downgraded to match the firmware of the rom. For Verizon, their last firmware update was what i said above. This particular rom is based off firmware 1.54.401.10. Not sure if this has something to do with it, but would love to find a solution as I really want to try out this rom.

I'm using TWRP at the moment. I also used phillz. But keep getting those popping errors after install. Tried wiping in recovery instead of in aroma, still don't work. I've flashed other roms successfully, but this one is not cooperating.

Okay got it to work. I did two things. Not sure which one made it work. But I re-downloaded the rom and did a checksum then copied it to my sd card. I also installed phillz recovery. I am having one problem with the rom though. The gps is not locking in. I looked around in the forum but couldn't find a fix.
