Hello XDA,
I would like to share my experience with you guys.
Ok first there was a notification saying that a software update was available for installation (I9505XXUEML1). After the software update was successfully installed, I went to Status and saw that the device status showed "Custom" instead. I don't know why, but after rebooting again, the device status reverted to "Official". Oh, and I was half-thinking that the change in device status was due to the sudden change is ROM version.
Anyone else has experienced this? If so, please reply below and share your experiences. Thanks.
From,

Hello,
I received a notification that 2.3.4 update available for my phone (Unbranded bought from Amazon.co.uk, I am on o2 and rooted). I tried to download that update and tried install it but it always stuck on startup showing error icon (Exclamation mark and Android green guy logo).
But when I took the battery out and put back in it works… showing old 2.3.3 not the new version.
I factory reset it but still same issue.
Anyone having same issue or solution.
Before anyone start slamming me… I tried to search it but unable to find that particular issue resolution.
Please HELP.
Thanks

Wrong section.
Make sure you're on stock recovery.
Sorry, I thought this is the right section.
Also can you please explain a little bit more what is stock recovery?
Thanks
MOD can you please move to correct section. Thanks

I think this is your problem. You can not install the update if you are rooted.
To the OP:
If you don't mind losing your data (backup with Titanium Backup as a precaution) just flash the 1.45.401.2 RUU - gives you 2.3.4 and then you can just root again and restore your data if you did decide to back it up first
hello all, i sucessfully installed the RC6.75Z STOCK- FULL WIPE rom found on this forum for AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1377087 and all seems ok but for one issue. the only icon i have in the notification area is the battery percentage. i have searched to best of my abilities but cannot find an answer. have looked at all settings on the phone but again no luck in getting icons to appear. thanks in advance for any help or advice
Read the full thread
Read the full thread there are a few other zips that you need to install... Ones a battery zip (I think.) another a status bar etc its with in the post if I'm reading it right.. Hope that helps.
i originally followed the guide step by step wthout a single issue other than the status icon issue, i reinstalled the rom was able to get the indicators to display by not installing the STOCK- NONWIPE-UPDATE
RC7.3 STOCK UPDATE. the guide i found indicated i needed to install them both. did i miss something?
You should be good installing the 6.75Z alone without any issues, RC7.3 is just an update. Other than these 2 you don't need to install anything for normal working.
I am using the same rom and don't have any issue. If possible try to follow http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1446566 guide provided.
It did fixed some issue on my phone.
What seems to happen to people with that rom is they install the main rom and updates all at one time, what needs to be done is install the main rom, let the phone boot and run media scan, once the phone has finished that reboot in to recovery and install any updates. Status bar should be there for ya then.
If you are using the ics launcher, you should be able to pull down the status bar like you pull down the window. also, there is a setting that you can get rid of the 2nd bar somewhere in the settings.
Try also installing Go launcher and see if you can see the status bar there.
i am following this ROM since day one and i did not have this problem.
Hi all,
I recently updated to 5.0.1 using the RUU, ever since I do not get push notifications. I am hoping it is something simple and not related to the 5.0.1 firmware.
I tried turning off the sleep mode to see if that fixed the problem, but it doesn't seem like that is the issue because I still don't get push notifications. I also checked all my in-app notification settings and they seem fine.
Does anyone have any ideas what the problem is?
Your help would be greatly appreciated.
It is most likely a ROM issue, firmware shouldn't effect is. Maybe make a backup of your current ROM and do a factory reset to see if that fixes the problem
Hi all, newb to this forum, seasoned Android user here.
I couldn't find a device specific subforum for my phone, so I followed the link from the sticky posted by a moderator.
I have two questions regarding my device. First off, I've already rooted it successfully via RCT Nerfer and then Framaroot. Latest SuperSU installed.
Running Android v4.1.2, Jellybean, stock ROM w/ Xposed and GravityBox.
First question. How do I hide the GPS icon displayed next to the network icon? It's not the blinking GPS blip that's displayed on the left side of the status bar when GPS information is being transmitted. I mean the icon that is constantly displayed when GPS is enabled, located to the right of the staus bar, grouped with the network and battery icons. In my opinion, I would like a less cluttered status bar. Any way i can hide that icon without turning GPS function off?
Second question. Has anyone determined a permanent custom recovery solution for this phone? I tried an installer for touch enabled CWM recovery that was in the form of an APK. It was originally designed for a different, but similar LG phone, and I read somewhere that it would work for my phone. So I tried it, and upon booting into recovery, it was there. However, I wanted to make sure it was permanent. Rebooted my device again, instead of recovery, it just initiated the default factory reset. I was infuriated after having to reinstall my apps and such all over again. Since then I haven't bothered trying again because I'm tired of my phone being factory reset. I also read somewhere that it might be caused by my phone's locked bootloader, though I don't know if it's locked or not, as I haven't attempted any procedures on the bootloader.
Thank you in advance, and please don't crucify me over these questions. I am not a stranger to Android, but some things do elude me.
1st: gps issue, edit systemui.apk with 7zip, remove icons.
2nd: flash twrp as soon as you boot into custom recovery by adb or whatever suited..
Thank you, that information was helpful and quick to the point. Greatly appreciated.
Already eliminated GPS icon. Now I'll work on getting TWRP running so I can create NANDroid backups. They will come in handy in the event of some unforseen problem.
Just wondering if anyone had a fix or explanation for my situation. I Received an update on the Blu Vivo 5R this Friday, Android 7.0. Then in the process today of unlocking the bootloader and flashing twrp, it got screwed up. so I downloaded the stock rom and flashed it, no biggie. fixed the boot freeze issue. but now I'm back to 6.0 because that was the most up-to-date stock rom. I tried checking for updates, supposedly I'm up to date. I even called Blu support to see if they could push it to my IMEI or something with no luck. they said they release it in batches and the software team deals with that, anyone know a way I could resolve this
You can try manually setting the date ahead a few days and reboot, sometimes that will bring an update.
