[Q] Can't update to jellybean from 4.0.4 - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

Hi, my device info that i can see on my phone is,
Model number : SCH-I535
Version : 4.0.4
Baseband Version : I535VRLHE
To play one of japanese game, I have changed my build.prop to galaxy nexus, and I changed them back to verizon galaxy s3 (above info) today in order to update to 4.1.1 (jelly bean i guess)
Whenever I try to update to latest version through "device info -> software update", I see a update failed message.
Can I get any helps? I have searched for a while, but couldn't really find any related issue
thanks in advance

Are you rooted? Do you have a custom recovery installed?

Nexus s - overcoming status 7 when running OTA update to Jelly Bean

Hi Folks!
I am retuning newbie to the XDA forum but, I cut my teeth on the original XDA... But, Android is a new arena...
I have Nexus S - i9020 - no suffix, GSM, purchased in the UK.
1. I am currently running a rooted installation of ICE 4.0.4. The recent OTA update to Jelly Bean failed with a status 7 - from my research, it's probably because I am running rooted - ?
2. I tried to return to stock state and that's where a bewildering array of stock images where suggested on other threads on this forum. The problem is; where can I find a stock ICE ROM for my i9020 device?
3. Incidentally, it would be good if somebody could provide a breakdown of model number and whether stock ROMs are interchangeable?
4. If I inadvertently try to flash an incorrect ROM, will the checks stop the process or do I run the risk of bricked device?
Thanks for your attention.

Thanks for the reply.
I fixed the problem using the "international" ROM version of stock ICS 4.0.4 ROM - I flash that to unroot the phone, then applied OTA update.
Thanks again.

[Q] OTA Update With An Unlocked Bootloader?

Can I do an OTA update with an unlocked bootloader? Or will it brick my phone? Because anytime I try to install a custom ROM I get status 7 installation aborted.

Are you running custom rom?? If you unlocked you won't get OTA, you have to upgrade manually and only upgrade while running stock rom.
No, im using a rooted stock rom, and I unlocked the bootloader.

Why not just lock the bootloader then take the update? Your are gonna have to reroot anyways. Pressing a button to lock or unlock isnt hard

I don't think that would allow it considering the status 7 installation aborted.

If you Odin back to stock be sure and lock the bootloader first. I bricked the phone so I couldn't lock the bootloader and the OTA did not work after I Odin'ed back to stock..
What recovery are you using? That can cause a status 7. Also what rom are you exactly trying to flash? Trying to flash a rom not made for the phone can give a 7 error also

I'm running CWM and I'm getting the status 7 error. I used 'EZ-Unlock' to lock the bootloader and tried again, but got the same error. I'm using a stock rom (I believe). Is it best for me just to unroot and update?

What version of CWM? IIRC that error happened a lot when people were using an outdated version of the recovery.

[Q] Custom binary download: yes (1 count)

Hi,
few says ago updated to official 4.1.1. after that I wanted to install custom recovery from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1831173
but tried first stock one. Tried also to install the CWMR and still when I use rom manager to go to recovery, I see "android system recovery 3e"
now, after holding volume - and power, and proceed to download mode I see this:
Odin mode
Product name: GT-N8000
Custom binary download: yes (1 count)
current binary: samsung official
sustem status: custom
what happened ? after updating to official 4.1.1, I just used exynos abuse to get root.
How do I reset this counter (I down't want to loose and install CWMR on my N8000 (3G+Wifi) ?
Lmao.......... that's what happens if you root your device.........
Don't worry.......... look for the "TriangleAway.apk" file just on these GN 10.1 forums......... you can patch your Note and finally get it to reset the counter.
Enjoy!
So how do I get cwmr touch to work? Can you explain more details how exactly to reset, flash recovery please?

I'm guessing that you didn't read all of that thread, specifically the part about deselecting auto-reboot when you flash it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1831173&page=11
Right at the top of the page.
If you let it auto-reboot, a script runs that replace the stock recovery.

Ok, after I got some time, did the triangle away and current status is zero.
There is an official update to 4.1.2? Because after I click update it's just hangs there.

Android 4.1 update to GT-P3100 in Spain?
I have a Galaxy Tab 2 7" GSM+WiFi GT-P3100 in Spain, running stock Android 4.0.3 plus CF-Auto-Root.
I understand that Android 4.1 has been available for sometime across Europe .. but the Software Update button in Settings says that no update is available for my device, nor does Kies find any update.
What's the path to get Android 4.1 on a Galaxy Tab 2 7" GSM+WiFi GT-P3100 in Spain?
And, is there anything special to do/ avoid/ know about applying the 4.1 update to a CF-Auto-Root'ed device?
Thanks,
-Jay

Your country???
And to update you can use kies(if not rooted)
Else if rooted my suggestion would be go to samfirmware download latest version for your location and flash via odin.

Dude, wait for it to be available in the philippines.
I already tried JB but a bit buggy that why i reverted back to ICS.
And so far my choice is right.
Also not all apps works on JB yet.
Be patient or try some JB custom rom.
Thats what xda for, to give us what those gadget companies denies.

Same thing here in Portugal: P3100 8GiB Wifi only and no JB update... Tried Kies and still got the message that no new Firmware available...
I always use English UK on my device, identify myself as UK in Google account, used a Proxy for UK ip and still no go...
Does anyone knows if Samsung is not giving JB to the 8GiB WiFi version of P3100??? (if that's so i'm gonna root and flash)...
Lets just hope they release that much awaited JB but i think its gonna take a while since their still releasing gadget in ICS mode, IMO they are more focused on the Note family.

Getting OTA updates after Rooting

Well, this is My 1st post around
I got N8013 that have been rooted with CWM and flashed the rom with 4.1.1 Jellybean , since then I cant get the OTA updates
and the device is lagging wihile typing on S-NOTE app
any Suggest how to recover the tap to original statue to get OTA updates ? that may fix the S-Note problem
You could try 're-flashing' using Odin with the stock firmware downloaded from Samfirmware.
You might have to do a factory reset as well.
There is no OTA update available yet for the N8013
Sent from my GT-N8013 using xda app-developers app
You will not get any OTA bec you have flashed a rom that does not belongs to your region so that wont work
No JB update for 8013 so just stick to what u are on and when the update is out just install that and your ota will start working
I have the update available on a stock 4.0.4 android gt n8013.
Had rooted through exynos without using the patch.
Device status is 'normal'. Can i just do OTA?
Regards,
Deborah

If you have an OTA please go ahead and download and install it
