[Q] How to debug OTA update failure? - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

I got JB OTA update, but it failed after my phone rebooted.
Where do I find the error log? What are the usual troubleshooting steps?
My phone is rooted, but that's the only change I remember making. Can't figure out why update keeps failing.

Couple questions, you didn't install custom recovery did you? I know it says only rooted, but just double checking. Also, did you freeze any apps....any at all?

No custom recovery. No frozen apps.
I haven't had any problems with the previous update (VRLHE).
Is there a log file saved somewhere on the phone with the error message?

Solved!
Found the solution. After poking around in the file system I found install log in
/cache/recovery/last_log
So, if anyone is having upgrade problems that's the log file you should be looking at for error messages.
Turned out I disabled camera click by renaming the sound file and completely forgot about it :silly:.
In my case this was the error message that pointed to the problem:
"failed to stat "/system/media/audio/ui/camera_click.ogg": No such file or directory"

I had Odined to stock last night(my phone just seemed off, figured start fresh) so obviously the ota went smooth, but good find! You will probably really help somebody out!

Thanks this helped me figure out why I wasn't able to get the updates....although it was a for a different error. I had disabled the shutter sound.

Oh, something silly might be the cause of my issue, as well.
EDIT:
After rooting to view the install_log file contents, it appeared that my install failed because "/system/lib/libjni_emailspellcheck.so" was not on my phone - what a ridiculous error to hold up a major OS upgrade.
I found Incubus' JellyBomb ROM at the VRLHE level and copied libjni_emailspellcheck.so from that to my phone in the proper subdirectory. Re-installed the JellyBean 4.1.1. OTA and everything went fine.
Weatherbug and some other apps are JellyBean-ized, it appears. Cool.

The sneaky bastards at Verizon tried to push the OTA yesterday evening. The phone was in my pocket and it started getting warm. Pulled it out and saw the update failed message. "last_log" showed it couldn't find VzTones.apk. Well, I had deleted that after backing up in TiBackup, but had reinstalled it a week or so ago. Apparently, when ti restored the apk it wound up being named "com.vzw.hs.android.modlite-1.apk", or at least that's my assumption since the icon is the same. I renamed it, but the update failed (dl via wifi this time. Why does it have to download again, by the way?) again because VzTones didn't have the "expected sha1 sums", whatever that means. I gave up and used this method to get the update, root, and unlocked bootloader.
I think I preferred flashing my Moment to this.
Here's a question: Does that 400mb download count against your data plan?

Help: EFS Not Mounting After Flash

I've been running CM7 for a month or so and I started having some stability problems. So I decided to try DarkyRom.
I did everything like normal (used heimdall).
Upon boot it had an error.
Failed to mount /efs while applying multi-csc.
I'm dead in the water. I tried to flash back to stock. I get an error and thrown into samsung recovery. I can reboot from that and I boot to the gui with no radio. Phone info says "Unknown" Hardware and Baseband Version.
No. I did not backup any EFS (news to me). I do have access to the same model phone, my son has one he just uses as a fancy MP3 player (no phone/data plan).
Is there anything I can do? I did use the ADB Shell and ran "mount" to see if the EFS was mounted. It was a negative...

Could this have something to do with the file system?
I don't have CWM working. I'm going to work on that. Right now I juast have Samsung Rec. Utils. The error that is in there is:
E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (Invalid argument)

First off,are you even on the right forum? Darky rom isn't built for this phone so it's not going to work.

Ugh...an unfortunate response. Yes...I'm on the right forum.
I did make a CWM backup from a couple weeks ago. Not sure if that helps.

Them why are you flashing roms from other forums/phones? Use odin and check repartition.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App
*hangs head* Admonishment accepted. I really don't know what I was thinking.
Here is my progress. I tried using Odin to just Re-partition. No go.
<ID:0/003> Can't open the specified file. (Line: 1455)
So then I downloaded stock EC10 (That was factory on my phone). I flashed that via Odin with "Success".
The same error as initially posted was on the phone. I rebooted from the stock recovery console and I was able to boot. 3g works. The hardware and baseband are now accurate. I'm getting a lot of force closes however. The twlauncher is constantly crashing.
So now the phone is semi-functional but there are still errors. (I was getting more forces than normal in CM7 that caused me to dive into this process in the first place).
I could be way off base but I'm thinking that possibly there is corruption (or wrong file system?) problems with the internal SD (I did format the External SD at the start of this).
I appreciate your help. Any suggestions from here?

Additional Note: Settings are not saved between reboots.
-Rooted
-Installed ROM Manager
-Installed CWM 3
-Reboot into Recovery Mode
No go. Same /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 error (installation aborted)
The 3e recovery also says:
"your storage not prepared yet, please use UI menu for format and reboot actions."
I tried both wipes. Errors.

Use the full odin restore package and make sure you use pit and pda files. Repartition must be checked. Wiping data might be a good idea as well.

If you've done that, then i'm at a loss. That usually is my solve-all solution... Sorry man.
Thank you much. Is it possible that I could have a faulty internal SD? I had suddenly started getting a lot of force closes in CM7. I guess I'm just wondering if I'm fighting two separate issues here. (My bonehead move vs. a real problem)
-MT
I think I'm FIXED!
I was finally (I don't know how) able to get Odin to Flash CWM 4 (The Blue one needed to install CM7).
I got ZERO errors in CWM. So I took the opportunity to clear caches, format data...I got destructive.
I then installed the CM7 Rom. -SUCCESS
Installed GAPPS - SUCCESS
I hope everything is OK at this point. I know CM7 is booting in about 20 seconds opposed to 5 minutes like it was before I decided to try to morph my phone into an I9000.
I actually saw the black screen with the little phone to PC icons at one point tonight. I think I came real close....
Thanks for your help!
PS: CONFIRMED mmcblk0p1 is mounted! (EFS, etc) PHEW!
I had this happen to me right after a Odin even did the rfs formatter tool exact same problems not saving settings upon reboot and it saying something along the lines of process.android.blah blah blah and double vibrate when booting before the fc anyhow I just reflashed miui to get cwm4 wiped everything reflashed cm7 no probs since

What update are you trying to install? OTA updates usually require a stock system, so if you've modded your system then you'll probably need to FXZ a clean setup. *Note - ICS has no offical FXZ and should use the appropriate resources according to the version you have.
If you post more info about what you have and what you're trying to achieve then I'm sure we'll be able to help you along.
I'm trying to flash the official AT&T ICS that released yesterday.
I was originally rooted with bootstrap on 2.3.6 with the Lithium Rom.
I unrooted the phone, flashed 2.3.6 with RSDLite to get a clean phone. This is when I tried the OTA which gives me that error.
I have tried multiple scripts here. I've used RSDLite and also the fastboot scripts to return to 2.3.5/2.3.6 from ICS(or GB) countless times.
I've never had this much trouble before.
has anyone had this issue? i can't even find anything about this on google.
well if this helps anyone at all.
I am flashing above 50% battery.
after RSDLite to 2.3.6 I still get this error, but it shows 2.3.6 just fine when I start up again.
When I do the update for ICS it does everything just fine all the way up until "updating STE BP"
this is where it gets held up and throws the error.
updating STE BP ..
assert failed: motorola.steflash("/tmp/steflash")
E:error in /cache/Blur_Version.55.13.25.MB865.ATT.en.US.zip
(Status 7)
Installation Aborted
I have tried the method of downloading it straight from OTA and also from copying the file from their website to my SD Card and installing this way.
Both methods result in the problem.
the exact method I have been doing is this.
I was originally on 2.3.6 rooted bootstrap on Lithium rom
I did the clean up method for bootstrap and then ran the unroot script.
Then used RSDLite to flash to 2.3.5 (tried straight to 2.3.6 as well)
when it reboots it still throws the error even for 2.3.5/6 steflash
I then do the OTA for ICS over WiFi which again throws the error.
I would extremely appreciate any possible help you guys could give.

While I'd like to tell you that you searching on Google was the right approach, you have come up short because these things have been addressed countless times here on xda. So, anyone else reading this, please include "xda" in your Google searches. That will point you back here, whereas otherwise searching xda FROM xda yields less than satisfactory results at times.
You were on 2.3.6 and wanted to update to ICS, but you had the Atrix 2 Bootstrap app and likely CWM Recovery as well. That said, and if so, you have some file finding and deleting to do:
You will need to delete all the files associated with CWM and the Atrix 2 Bootstrap (if ever installed) via Root Explorer or ADB:
Removing Atrix 2 Bootstrap:
Delete file /system/bin/logwrapper
Delete file /system/bin/hijack
Rename file /system/bin/logwrapper.bin to /system/bin/logwrapper
Delete directory /preinstall/recovery (Note: This directory might not exist)
Since you also installed the recovery on boot you need to restore the following:
Removing Bootstrap Recovery on Boot:
Delete file /system/bin/mot_boot_mode
Rename file /system/bin/mot_boot_mode.bin to /system/bin/mot_boot_mode

Since I did the RSD flash, shouldn't it have made it stock and not require those steps?

No, it doesn't work that way. Post number 8 details how to solve this issue. Simply flashing back to stock doesn't remove the files, and therefore they must be removed manually.

The bootloader is locked up tighter than a 16th Century King's daughter's chastity belt, so don't worry about that being an issue. Are you using Root Explorer to delete and rename the appropriate files? Also, you say you've already tried to use the above steps, then used the FXZ back to stock 2.3.6 and you still can't get the Moto Server update, correct?

I had created a d2_system.tar backup using d2pad hax D201208Bxxxxx SN on back earlier. So thinking that I'll get factory setting back, I copied the original system files back to system directory of the tablet.
Now my tablet does not start up but is constantly rebooting. PLEASE HELP any advice is appreicated!

[Q] Reverted to Stock, stuck in roaming, can't root.

Hi, I'm new to all of this. Yesterday I spent a good 9-10 hours messing with my phone, rooting, flashing CM10 with CWM, realizing data doesn't work on it, and trying to revert back.
I finally managed to revert back to stock this afternoon via (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1762204), but the stock provided in the OP left me on a startup loop. So I used (http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=SCH-I535) in the comments, which worked. I am running SCH-I535, so that's all well and good, but after flashing with Odin, I got an error that I was apparently "roaming". Not sure if this is common when reverting to stock or not, but I'm not sure if it's a big deal either, since I was looking to switch to AOKP instead. BUT, I can't root now. I'm using "Root Debug FS" to root, which worked for me each time before. Now I'm getting the following messages:

Well i too jumped the gun, After installing CM 10.1 build 18 i think it was, my phone has been with no service even with stock OS. I'm super noob at this stuff, and there are so many threads leading me in circles. i'm almost considering buying a new phone....
In betting both of you need to go back to a stock ICS and use the reprovision code in the dialer. You can Google that code. Before doing that check to make sure you have a imie.
To the OP you flashed the latest JB correct, you never said which one you used. If that's the case the root method you're trying will not work. Under development there us a thread for rooting the Jb update.
. LISTEN TO THE POSTER AFTER ME. I THINK HE HAS MORE EXPERIENCE WITH THE CM10.1 THEN I DO AND I MAY BE GIVING YOU EXTRA WORK!
If I helped you in some way.... pass on the favor and help the next person!

Flash an unofficial build and change your mobile settings > cdma subscription to ruim/sim and toggle airplane mode.

I do seem to have an IMEI. And yes, I flashed the latest build, sorry for lack of clarity. I'll go ahead and look up a stock ICS, though I'm not sure what a reprovision code is, could you explain?

Ah, sorry, thought you might just be replying to the other guy. I can't seem to access the "mobile networks" settings, as it's grayed out. Am I looking in the wrong area? Settings > More settings > Mobile networks
EDIT: I downgraded from JB to ICS in hopes that that would restore data working on my phone. Nothing. I'm going to hold off on bothering with AOKP, because if it's not working on stock, I doubt it'll work on a custom ROM.
I still can't figure out how to change cdma subscription to ruim/sim. "Mobile networks" is no longer grayed out, but I don't see an option for cdma subscription or anything similar.
Any help? Other suggestions?
You most likely lost you imei/min or something, you can check in settings>about phone>status. Easy way to correct it is to flash a older stock ICS image and use the reprovision code. Flash this in odin then type this in the dialer *2767*3855# and that should fix ya back up. Flashing anything carries a risk of dropping your imei but it happens much more on AOSP roms.

Hmm, that stuck me on a boot loop. I'll try to find another stock ICS. When I dialed that under JB, it sent me to a Verizon line, was that supposed to happen? Is there anything I'm supposed to do from there?
Nevermind! Tried the code under ICS and it worked! Thank you so much to everyone for your help. You're fantastic!

Ya it wont work on JB, it only works on early versions of ICS. They removed it due to a exploit where someone can trigger that code and wipe your phone and crap.

Try unchecking Android Debugging. I can't seem to copy files unless that is unchecked.

Try and reboot the phone and the PC. Then reconnect the phone to the PC with USB debugging disabled.
If not maybe check your PC drivers.
You could also use adb to push the ROM.

It's possible that it could be the ROM but I'd think it has something more to do with your PC if it was working before.
Do you know of some update or change recently on the PC?
What error did you get when trying to push the ROM?
Let us know if it works once your back to stock.

I have few suggestions. If you are trying to copy zip file to phone, then dont do it. Put all the files you need in a folder and then copy to phone.
if it still gives error then try to copy to Downloads folder.
I had issues copying rar,zip files to phone. Due to filename length sometimes it doesnt allow you to copy.

When i had such an issue i put in the folder i copied the files to a ".nomedia" file. You can find this kind of files on your device storage, copy your files to this location. I think what happens is that the phone is trying to index the files and fail. The ".nomedia" file prevent it from indexing.

I heard somewhere that temporarily changing the filename extention to something else, e.g., ".bak", will solve the problem.
Why not just download it straight to the phone?

I really don't think i had any new updates on my laptop. The error that it gives me when i drag and drop the .zip file on the root folder of the phone was "Cannot copy item - The device has either stopped responding or has been disconnected".
Well, flashed back to stock and rooted back again to the latest nightly released from " Carbon Hammerhead nightly ". Still wondering what went wrong !! i did the same procedure that i did last time .. hmmmmm. Will update when i do next update
thanks

will surely keep that in mind, next time i do the update

The phone isn't the problem, the zip file is most likely corrupted. Try downloading it again. I ran into this exact same issue last week

update
this is my fourth update now , since i went back to stock, root and running the same ROM. I am not sure what went wrong last time. Only thing i did extra that i remember is that i went to the advance to wipe and select all except for the system. other than that i follow the same procedure !!! could be corrupt zip file or may be something else .. really have no clue whats the main reason ....
Thanks for all the suggestion
When I first got my phone last week I tried to put some custom ROMs and mods on the internal storage but it wouldn't let me do it... so I copied a jpg image to the phone first and then it let copy the zip files

This happens to me almost allday because im consantly copying pulling the plug right out .When this happen go to device manager portable devices and uninstall the driver while your phones plug in, when done go notifaction panel and uncheck mtp, recheck mtp , let windows reinstall driver and your good. Now somtimes you can unplug your phone from pc than uncheck mtp/ recheck and plug phone back up and wula.
Solved!
