No OTA after Root?

I used the 1-click method to root my phone. When I do the software update it goes as far as downloading the update, then my phone reboots. And for some reason when it reboots it reboots into recovery. Then I reboot my phone and when it loads it says update failed. The update is 2.3.5 to 2.3.6 I'm assuming. The reason I make this assumption is just because my wife and I got the same phone on the same day and hers updated and mine didn't. I rooted, she didn't. I read something about having to have all your original apps installed when I did a search, but I have removed any of the bloatware or any other apps as of yet. Thanks for the help in advance!

To Take the OTA you need Stock recovery, not CWM there is a thread with the Stock recovery you can flash in Odin to get the OTA to install

this should be what you need to take the 2.3.6 OTA (which really isn't all that worth it, so if you're happy with 2.3.5 i would stay there until an ICS OTA comes)

Would a factory reset go back to stock recovery?

No a Factory reset just resets the user data not the recovery or system information

My understanding was that 2.3.6 implemented a new modem that improved the performance of the phone. I personally have great service compared to my Tmobile that I just bought out my contact on. Just wondering how much better that update would make my phone.

If your rooted you can just flash the 2.3.6 radio in cwm... Or even a 2.3.6 ROM (MHX superlite 3.1 final was my GB ROM of choice)
There is a radio thread and also info in the all in one sticky thread.

A few questions about flashing and kernels.

Since I want to flash the thalamus kernel on my Nexus S with JB, I have to be on a rom and given that no JB factory image is available yet I don't really get what I should do.
When the OTA came out I was on a deoxedex, zipaligned, etc. stock rom of ICS, so, in order to elude the error status 7 issue I flashed the 4.0.4 factory image from google and then flashed the OTA update.
If I want to flash a JB rom, do I have to re-flash an ICS rom? And if so, can it be a non-stock rom or I would get the error status 7 message again?

No. You just need to make sure you have a custom recovery, like CWM. I was on ICS and then flashed a JB ROM with no issues.

Well, factory images just came out so it's fine now.

Haha. I was JUST about to post that. Good news for everybody.

[Q] P3113, attempting to install XARCLI Jellybean leak

Hello , I just purchased the Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 GT-P3113 yesterday to replace an Acer Iconia A100 with a dead EMMC, 4.0.4 ICS is okay but I'm wanting to flash the P3113XARCLI jellybean leak from SamMobile , I'm already on stock UEBLH2 like needed for the leak, not rooted, still running stock recovery. When i get to recovery, i select the zip from my SD, as the zip for the leak is verified in recovery, i hit this error " E: error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip (status 7) , I'm currently downloading the stock firmware, I'm thinking of trying to reflash the stock clean via Odin and then try the leak again, or maybe download the leak OTA zip again, anyone have any suggestions or ideas that might solve the issue? Thanks!

Flashed stock firmware through Odin 3 1.35, Wiped Data and cache in stock recovery, tried to update again, seems to be working, will post again with end result

Why are you calling these releases "leaks" these are official 4.1.1 OTA and why are you trying to install an older version of 4.1.1 for p3113
The latest OTA is here

i've seen a small handful of people using that newer 4.1.1 who haven't gotton past their bootscreens, they're official yes but Samsung hasn't put out a full complete 4.1.1 update as far as i know, these are only test versions

Yes, we don't have an official, but I am on the 3110 UK version, and have had no issues.

Can't seem to get it to properly connect to my wifi network on the first OTA for some reason

So i can flash the UK version via Odin and all should be good? and if i ever need to downgrade i can just revert everything just as i have to test the OTA with the stock P3113 firmware right?

Yes, flash thru Odin, use cf root to root, then flash clockworkmod thru odin. At that point, make a backup. At that point, you can flash any mods, or other ROMs, and return to the stock jellybean experience. Yes, I haven't had any problems with the ir blaster, or any problem. If you don't like it, Odin back to ICS, or a custom ROM thru CWM. The main point is to read, reread, research, and ask questions. As long as you do your homework, you will have no problems.

[Q] flash properly JB ROM after a mistake on my part on ICS

Hi all!! :laugh:
I'm a owner of TF300T, so there is a long time ago, I flashed CM9 (ICS) and when CM10 (JB) arrive I wanted to update the tablet but I didn't know that it was necessary to update to the last stock kernel to get the last JB bootloader, so when I flashed CM10 the tablet stucked on bootloader logo! :crying: After I tried to install different ROM like the last stock ASUS JB ROM or CM9 but nothing changed :crying:
Then I have flashed the JB blob with fastboot, now I can boot on JB but the tablet is very slow and there are bugs often!!
I tried to flash again CM10 but the problem stays :/
I don't know how can I do to install CM10 or an other JB ROM properly !!
Can anyone help me please
II didn't found anything which works fine , I would like to flash just JB bootloader but I have not found :/

I'll provide the links to blobtools and firmware to create your own blobs.
I think you would need to match the bootloader to your kernel which you can find under settings/tablet.
Blobtools Link 1
Blobtools Link 2
Link to Asus kernels if needed.
Good Luck!

Thanks man!!
I will try that tonight =)

Hi!!
I don't try to create my own blobs because I have not had time :/
So If I try to flash stock ASUS ICS ROM, is possible that it works well again?
Can I flash zip file with custom recovery or not? I think not, so How can I do?
If this methode don't works, I will try to create blobs Monday or Tuesday!
Thanks!!

Here is a link to the asus firmware check in the first three posts.
[INDEX][04 Feb 2013]TF300T & TG-INDEX of Roms/Dev Guides/Kernels/Recoveries/etc.
Bookmark the thread as you will find it very useful in the future.
I suggest using JB 10.4.2.9 (located in the third post)(choose the proper sku for your location) to get your problems sorted. Then upgrade to what you wish or flash non stock rom for the JB bootloader.
You will need to unzip twice to get a blob and flash with fastboot. I suggest this version since it was the first JB and set the stage for later updates. For stock rom I use 10.4.2.18 it seems smoother and less issues than the other stock roms. Once you flashed JB you can't flash an ICS rom; it is now JB or a custom rom for JB; no ICS. If you could get ICS to flash now it would brick your tablet. I suggest this method over just flashing the bootloader.
Good Luck!
Note: This will erase your apps and settings which is normal for flashing stock firmware. OTA updates do not clear data but I haven't found one for 10.4.2.9.

Hi !
I have done that and after I have flashed CM10.1 nightly and it works very well!
Thanks everybody
