Some people have requested this, this is Gingerbread KF2 Deodexed + Root and odin flashable.
This contains all bloat.
Instructions:
1. Perform Factory Data Reset/Wipe Data (If you skip this step it may still work but may leave existing apps and may cause FC's)
2. Flash Via Odin
3. Wait 5min to boot
4. Hit Thanks
The messed up Rainbow at boot is normal if using Froyo BootLoaders just wait it will boot.
Below File contains no BOOTLOADERS
T959VUVKF2 NO BOOTLOADERS
Thanks
Dr.Honk for answering all my stupid questions.
Krylon360 for original KF2 leak

Been looking for this. Might be enough to make me give KF2 a try finally.
Thanks.
Nice up man

If I apply this (without manually doing a factory reset along the way), will I retain all of my apps and app data through this process?
I know I've used ODIN to update to the current stock release and used ODIN on my Vibrant and didn't lose my apps and app data.
Yes, there was some people in another thread that said you ALWAYS lose data when you update. I know they are wrong, but not sure what the case is with this particular update.
Does that fact that it's deodexed make it less likely that the data will be retained?
just flashed and waited 15 minutes on the rainbow screen, flashed again,same thing. how long does it take to boot the first time?

This will erase all apps, you need to use titanium backup first if you want to save that stuff.
Do I place in pda or phone in odin

Strangely enough I have the froyo bootloaders, flashed this, got an upgrade failure to which got me to that annoying ass screen rom upgrade failed, so I tried it again, it was successful, but oddly not only did I not get the rainbow screen but I booted with all my apps and everything intact but confirm that I am now at 2.3.3 by su binary had gotten downgraded to 2 from the ,3 beta I had had and I was coming from the KD1 rom.... Anyway strange I know....

What were you running prior to this flash?
If you are having troubles with this flash please give more info, what rom did you have before, what bootloaders are you using? Any info helps so that I can narrow down any issues and fix them.
Thanks.

had the fully stock gb rom that shipped with the phone. i was able to flash with no problems, just cant get it to connect to the network just keeps saying searching, wifi calling and txting work just fine.
-edit
oh right after i did the flash, i did do sgs unlock pro app. not sure if that would of caused any problems but it looks like my IMEI is showing up as .[]x[]~ ".[]x[]~
I was having issues with this version and getting stuck on samsung screen a whole lot; and i'm talking about i started clean with KC1 full with .pit>whitehawkxKD1+root>then this rom.
tried the other route and odined back to KD1>boot into cwm>checked mount and flashed the cwm version. worked flawlessly; except the rainbow, ofcourse.
my recommendations are quiet obvious

try toggling airplane mode on & off.
I do not want to restore if possible. I did OTA update to my wife's stock rooted phone last night and now the home key does not work. Back key is only way to home screen. It vibrates when pressed but no action. She is already pissed about her tethering being disabled again. Any suggestions appreciated. I really don't want to have to tell her I have to restore. She didn't want the update in the first place.
Sounds to me like a fxz flash is the best option.
Flash back to 2.3.5 and root.
Flash one of our handy ROM'S that are currently available.
Get your teathering via sqlite.
Then your set!

Thanks. I already had her talked into it. Think I figured out possible problem. I remember she uninstalled ONE of the original at&t apps. Update said completed but I think may have corrupted something. She had a lot of FC today, definitely major issue. Back to stock we go!
Hmm. I don't think it should have ever updated over the air with some of the att bloatware missing.
Atleast it didn't for me.
Well, it sounds like your on your way!
Sent from my MB865 using xda premium
If you haven't flashed yet, you can boot into Recovery from the Atrix 2 Bootstrap and make a Nandroid backup, then after you flash to stock and update to 2.3.6 and root you can "Advanced Restore" the "data" part of the backup to keep your apps and settings.
Since my phone is rooted, the OTA update notification is on my phone. The first time it came, I tried to perform the update not knowing it would fail since it won't work on rooted phones.
It's not worth the hassle to me to 1: return the phone to stock, perform the update, and re-root the phone, or even not re-root the phone, or 2: load the rooted updated here.
I just want the OTA update to go away, keeping the phone like it is for now.
The notification is persistent through a restart, and I don't see a way to clear it. It's been like this for a few days now.
Any ideas?
Thanks.
In the same boat, would love to know if there's a way to get rid of this daily annoyance.
Go to the Android store and download NoBloat free(it has a Android holding an AK)...then go to system apps and look for the update notifier which is syncmldm2.apk, select it, then choose disable only...and viola! Its gone!

You could also freeze Device Management 2.0 with Titanium Backup.

I'm probably missing it, but I don't see Device Management 2.0 in the list, even if I filter all by name.
Do you mean Download manager 2.3.6?
Are you on stock and rooted? I was able to install the update on stock and rooted from kies. I did have to reroot and uninstall bloat ware again but everything else stayed in tact.

Yeah, stock rooted. Obviously I'm lazy with this, but I don't want to mess with Kies either. I'd have to a: reload it, install kies, get it working, load the update, re-root the phone, and *THEN* reconfigure/reinstall all my apps and settings.
Sorry, but I just want the notification icon to go away!
The first app that was mentioned, doesn't work either, nothing is listed as was described. There was one or two things similar, but not the same.
syncmldm2.apk is listed under Titanium as "Software update v3.1201.4.2". If removing that doesn't get rid of the notification, I believe wssyncmlnps.apk is also related to software updates. Remember to "nand you shizz" and titanium backup before removing either as it may cause instability (although it may not). I believe I removed the wssyncmlnps.apk or something similar on my Exhibit with little consequence- probably since they never intended on updating that thing...
I had that icon, I tried to install the update a few times (failed due to root) after a few failed attempts the icon gave up and went away.

All of my apps and settings stayed intact after the update over kies. I just had to reroot and uninstall the bloatware again.
The only way for you to get rid of the notification would be to update via Kies Software. Doesn't work via OTA when you are rooted, regardless if you're running the stock firmware. I just updated the firmware now with Kies, but oddly enough, the notification was still there! I clicked it and updated OTA, and it worked because the phone lost root upon the update via Kies. So yes, I had to update my device twice..
Well, time to re-root and uninstall bloatware.
EDIT: Well, upon restarting device, I am experiencing a lot of force closing issues. I reinstalled ClockworkMod Recovery and tried fixing permissions, but that didn't seem to work. Anyone have any ideas or fixes? Maybe I should reinstall my apps again.. >_>
Most likely you will need to wipe your phone and start fresh.

Seems like it, thanks for input.. I'm going to backup my apk's and data, and everything using MyBackup Pro, so I can speed up the whole process. Hopefully everything turns out good. Oh, one question, when upgrading to official stock ROM releases, you always have to wipe if your rooted?? If so, I never knew that..
EDIT: omg backup app not working! Help! I refuse to wipe if I can't backup my apps!
Sent from my SGH-T769 using xda-developers app
I wouldn't think so, but there is always the chance an app incompatibly with an upgrade can occur and muck it all up.
Have you tried using Titanium?
Ah, I see.
Titanium seems very popular.. I've never used it before. I guess I'll try it. If all else fails, I do have a Nandroid from yesterday.
EDIT: okay, everything is restored and back to normal. Thanks.

Mine went away today, without doing anything.
If only real problems would go away if you ignored them long enough.
I rooted my S3 a few weeks ago and have noticed that since I did that, upon booting up I will frequently get the message that Android is updating and optimizing my apps. Is this normal? I am still on JB 4.04
I'm not sure why it would do that. Which rom are you on? I've only ever seen that when I flashed a kernel or maybe even a failed boot animation flash. Did you edit a system file or your build.prop after rooting and then this started happening or has this only been happening because you rooted? Try either starting completely over with Odin then re-rooting OR flashing a different rom.
Also:
ICS = 4.0.4
JB = 4.1, 4.1.2, and 4.2.1

Does it do it every time or just when you wipe your cache in recovery?
It's normal if you wipe.
And for goodness sakes please don't Odin. It's overkill and unnecessary.

sounds like you have a app thats setup to clear cache on reboot.

I will check that. I use cachemate so that may be what is doing it.

This happens when I flash a kernel

Actually i flashed a Sspeed Kernel v8 and every boot android apps are updating, Any idea how to fix that?
Some init.d scripts cause this behavior in custom ROMs, but in stock ROMs I'm not sure what would cause this.

Looks like it could be rebuilding the dalvik cache on each boot. Why not just flash a custom ROM and see what happens
Does anyone know how to prevent a software update on a rooted Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0? *
My tablet auto updated to the new Jelly Bean about 3 wks ago and I hated it. *I have since restored my wonderful tablet back to the ICS 4.0 it came with and rooted it. *But 2 days ago it auto downloaded the software update again and will only allow me to postpone the update rather than completely refuse it.
I do not want to have to go through the whole process again. *Does anyone know how I can prevent the update from happening? *TY!
Freeze updater.apk with titanium backup.

Hooray - it seems to have worked! I wasn't able to find the specific file name you mentioned, but I did freeze 2 "system update" files and that has removed the update notification from my notify list and also doesn't open the update postponed window any longer from the about/software update settings either. Thank you so much, MultipleMonomials, ty, ty!
Still having problems...
Well, it seems I spoke too soon regarding my last post. All seemed to work well after freezing two "system update" files using ROM Toolbox Pro. However, after shutting my tablet down that night and turning it back on in the morning, I have since been locked up at the Samsung logo screen. I've spent the past few days trying to research my options, did the fix permissions, reset to factory default, tried restoring backups (which I didn't have), all that stuff, and I am having no luck whatsoever.
I can boot into CWM6 Recovery mode and also boot into download mode, but otherwise, I cannot get it to load past the Samsung logo and I'm officially stumped now.
Can anyone offer some suggestions as to what I should try next?
Flash a stock-based ROM without wiping data. Make a backup first.
