Verizon Software Update Coming In! Can't Stop! - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

I'm having a problem with the first Verizon update. I have a rooted, unlocked GS3 running the stock ROM only slightly modified. I thought I had FWUpgrade frozen, but apparently not. I do not have the purchased version of TiB and I used multiple apps to try to freeze the system app. I thought it was a success, but obviously not. Now everytime I turn my phone on I am seeing what is shown in the first attachment. The second attachment is showing what TiB shows when I look at FWUpgrade. I don't know what to do and need some help on what plan of action to take! What are my options? I've been wanting to flash a custom ROM and considering most of those have FWUpgrade already frozen that would solve my issue... Thanks for the help!

Thanks so much for the fast reply!!! I do not have the paid version of TiB, so I just disabled it with Root Uninstaller and now it shows up as frozen in both RU and Ti. After taking it off of airplane mode, the update is no longer showing up!!! :good: Thanks again for the quick reply!!! You saved the day as far as I'm concerned!

No worries. Glad to help when I can.

Yup, took my phone out of my coat pocket and the thing was hot looked to see what processes was running strange one, this Factory Test what is it?
If you are rooted and have Titanium Backup, simply freeze it.. I did when I first got my SR back in November and haven't had a problem.
I use bloat freezer free. Allows you to scroll through all apps and shows which are running( including system apps that are hidden) I freeze tethering manager to allow use if native AP app and freeze bloat

Anyway to install Whatsapp

Is there anyway to install whats app on a N8010 I've just got mine today and am not really convinced it worth keeping and getting rid of my galaxy 10.1 3g version
What i did was back up my whatsapp from my phone with titanium backup and then restore that back up on my note 10.1. Works fine that way. Only problem is it can only run on one device at a time.

I have whatapp on my galaxy 10.1 and i can get i from that but wont i need my note rooted to
Yeah probably would need root.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
ok Thanks ill go and have a look now to see whats the best way of doing that
Ok done this now how do i back it up from one device and restore it on another
Back it up on your galaxy tab 10.1. It'll store the backup on sd in folder called titanium backup. Copy to folder to your computer transfer it to your note then download titanium backup app and restore it
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
done that mate and get the same error saying "we cant identify your device. Please turn of your phone,take out battery,restart it try and note: tabets are note currenty supported"
Sorted Thanks
I don't use this app, but can't you just pull the apk from /data/app transfer to Note and install?

Sorted it now with Titanium backup. You cant just install it as you get a error message popping up
Here you go
I downloaded the latest one and works fine without rooting or anything.

Anybody mind explaining more how to overcome that error? I installed the multitask signed version of whatsapp, then did the titanium backup restore.
Ok, the multiwindow version wouldnt do it, but the regular version worked fine.

Lost Root

I had root custom cwm recovery had JB ROM installed and flashed solid ice 2.0 and booted up. Once in tried installing ROM toolbox and couldn't get root access. I still have custom recovery and super user but I have no root access. I did searches and followed all instructions but couldn't find anything on my current situation. I've never flashed a ROM and lost root. I'm on sprint but have my girlfriends s3 rooted on Verizon. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

When I lost root on my galaxy nexus, I just restored a nandroid backup and I was back in business. That should work assuming you have a previous backup.
Try opening SuperUser and updating your binaries.

In super user store to the left. You should see some green and possibly Red writing. Touch there and you now have the iron to update binaries.

Just for clarity for future users who stumble on this thread, which method worked: updating your binaries or installing whatever is in the dropbox link?
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
Yes it was the flashable zip that kintwofan was so cool as to post. That's what enabled me to update binaries on the version I'm on. Great idea, that's why I wanted reply with the success but I should have clarified

[Q] App Data backup without root??

I have looked in the playstore and most backup apps need root to backup app data. I bought a Skyrocket for a friend of mine overseas and I want to make sure he can transfer data from his apps to the Skyrocket. His phone is stock and not rooted. Anyone know a way to backup app data without root??

Lifehacker.com recommends Carbon. Haven't tried it yet myself. It's on my wishlist. Using App backup & restore by Infolife LLC myself. Haven't had the need to do a restore yet, so don't know if it's really good.

A lot of apps backup the apk's but not all will backup the data that goes with them without root. Super backup needs root to restore app data.

Odd that it says that. I wish I had an answer for you man. You said you restored them from rom toolbox... So it still shows up like that? Does it do the same with the play store app installed?

Try NOT restoring apps. Can you dl fresh install from play store?
If so, dl app from store and only restore app data after...

Yea I saw the screenshots. I use both titanium backup and rom toolbox and I've never had an issue from either no matter the rom. I prefer TB to Rom even though I own licenses to both versions. And yes matter of fact the last screenshot says COMPATIBLE if you were to look at it again.
