Freeze or uninstall SDM and reboot. That's what I did, saw some other post here saying the same thing.

Really? Custom romantic and recovery and you got an ota? I'm running beans 11 and nothing was pushed to my phone

I'm running rooted stock and it's forcing me as well. I thought it was disabled on all the root roms even stock ones? Not sure how to stop it other than keep defering it.

OTA
I just accepted the OTA, restored to factory defaults, one step rooted it, got rom manager from the play store, booted into clockwork and then reapplied my rom. No biggie.

Just because it worked ok on yours doesn't mean it will on everyone's. Good way to brick your device...

Is this the new security fix? I heard there was a major browser vulnerability.

Probably not, they don't like to fix actual problems. They prefer to make minor tweaks and such to their bloat instead. You didn't want your device to actually work as advertised did you?

what's the baseband version after ota?
can someone upload the latest ota?

What's up crew?
After my update the baseband version is I535VRLG7.
I used Mobile Odin pro to PRE-ROOT the OTA before flashing it.... Successfully I should add.
I don't have the OTA Handy for you though, but if you do a little searching around this forum I'm sure someone has it here for downloading.
The OTA did not update my modem though, I had to flash the G7 baseband version separately. Found it on RootzWiki.
Edit:
Found it: OTA update.

You guys can .... SAFELY... check your device to see if you're vulnerable to the hack on this site.
http://www.androiddoes.net/news/samsung-galaxy-s-iii-ussd-hack-test/
Read up on the page.. it says something about if Your Dialer screen coming up and your IMEI is being displayed on it then you have the Vulnerability.. if nothing happens.. or if your dialer comes up with nothing being displayed then you're probably safe.

The phone wipe hack was fixed months ago on the S3. I took the OTA then unlocked (casual) and unlocked boot loader (EZ Unlock). No problems no issues. Slammed Beans 12 non-kexec back on it and I really don't see any difference.... World didn't end Phone police didn't knock my door down.... Nothing....

Official: Jelly Bean for the GT 7 Plus coming in the next weeks

Samsung has just made the announcements, and among the listed devices is the 7 Plus.
This time around they have promised a faster deployment than with ICS, saying it's coming to all these devices "within the next weeks".
Great news =)

He said "Next weeks" with an S, not week. :silly:

impossible you say? I would bet ours devs.. given full samsung source, binaries, blobs etc, working full time, could build official JB in a matter of days. Testing does take time though.
Id bet on before February from Samsung.

just like sammy siad we will get ics,
i am living in South Africa and we all did not get ics.
i had to root my tab and flash open austria firmware.
i will do it again when open austria jelly bean firmware is out.

i'm not sure what you mean by "every firmware has a kernel...counter" thingy. i've flashed more than three times using odin, and my flash count is still 0. i think that it will only count if you flashed a custom firmware. just my thought though

What i want to said is, u dont need root for flahing firmware via odin and dont take hard way and use mobile odin...and it will not count up ur binary...believe me..this is not 1st time im using android and flashing firmware...tab plus is my tenth android device lol...

I am predicting a late January test build showing up on SamMobile with a OTA of late Feb or March.
I base this on the historical release rhythm for Samsung tablets and the P62xx series.

probably, i hope by late january or early febuary we could get at least one jellybean build for p6200. the blobs might help a little for cm10(or 10.1 by that time), but i don't know how much it will help, perhaps the video playing problem could be solved, and maybe a smoother "buttery" jellybean.

Yes the libraries and kernel would help with other ROMs, but I want the stock version unless someone adds IR blaster support to CM10.

OTA Jelly Bean update delete Home screen Issue

So I just downloaded and installed the ota update to jelly bean and whenever I try to delete homepages touch wiz home force closes... I've restarted my phone and even tried clearing data on touch wiz home app.
Anyone else have this problem?
btw..I am not rooted
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app

Just tried it and it force closed.
It let me add a new home screen no problem. But when I went to delete, it crashed.

Exactly! now I have 7 home screens but am only using 2.

Mine works like it should. Deletes fine, adds fine.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium

No problems adding or removing homescreens for me after the update.

I'm wondering what could be causing this as I haven't rooted or done anything really. I'm having to use Apex atm until I [we ] figure it out.

Please post questions in Q&A

This seems to be a bug if you have "Transition duration scale" (it may be one of the other animator settings, i dont remember) turned off. Go into Developer options/Drawing and turn it back on, reboot and see if that fixes it. Default settings are 1x.

that works, thanks so much!!

Hey guys,
I'm new to the forum. I bought the s3 from an individual about 2 months ago and he had already installed one of the leaked versions of Jelly Bean. Now that Verizon has finally released the official OTA upgrade, I was wanted to install it because there are a few things that this version has that mine doesn't. Would I have to restore my firmware back to stock to be able to receive the OTA (haven't got any notifications to update)? If so, whats the best way to do it? Use the odin process that I have read about?
Thanks

You would have to restore your phone back to the VRALHE build of ICS or earlier to get the OTA. It is probably simpler to use one of these guides to just go straight to the same build as the OTA. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1974114 or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1984436. They both involve using Odin to flash the images. You can use the no-wipe versions to keep all your data intact or you can use the full-wipe versions instead. You can also check out section 5 in this guide to go back to stock and then OTA if you want to do a little more work. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1762709

Sounds like you are just looking for more work. If go to HE and update to OTA will still have do the same amount of ODIN work to Root and unlock to end up in the same place. There is no advantage of OTA over K3 leak.

If anybody tried it, does it work fine? any of your data are lost or they are still on the device ?
and do you think should i wait for the US version or download it anyway ?
keep in mind i bought it from US and I'm living in Egypt, so still would i get it or a notification if the OTA is released in addition to that my device is rooted?

You should not lose data when you go from ICS to JB irrespective of the version. But if you are rooted then do not take a chance a titanium backup for just in case there are any complications.
You will not receive OTA unless you flash the orignal rom when it is released which anyway does not make any sense as it will always release months after the first release

I recommend to make backup of your data with titanium backup or same. After update your data will not lose but I always format system, data, cache when update different version, for better works of tablet, then restore what I want.
I think for long time should i update or not, for month my tablet work on 4.1.1, and for two week work on 4.1.2 - it's awesome, all that i can say

You should idealy not lose date when you upgrade or step up from a previous version, but it is always better to back up data so that you are safe.

Security/Firmware Update T769UVMB1 for the Blaze (Feb 22)

http://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-4182 . This is a upgrade through kies for ICS. Same current baseband as we have now, but there saying it offers security improvements.

I don't see why not. The Blaze was released in March of 2012. The T989 also a Tmobile branded phone is running Jelly Bean and its older than our model. Presumably based on little differences and what nots it only makes sense for them to give the update. They are still marketing and selling the device so, yeah.(Hopefully)

Yep, shouldn't be an issue - I'll check again tonight, and like I said if no one else gets to it by the time I get my hands on it I'll post some stuff.

If I'm reading this right, the update to the new baseband is OTA if you are running non-rooted UVLH5 stock. There's nothing on samfirmware.com for this update to be available via KIES, so I would think that it's just OTA - that and it's only a 20 MB download. I'm going to go back to stock to see if this is OTA only and post my findings...
Nope. No OTA or KIES update available for me.

My interpretation of the T-Mobile info was that it was either - but you are right that it's not available via KIES currently so I could be wrong lol! No OTA has been pushed to the wifes phone yet, but that doesn't mean much for others of course.

It's just so weird to see it on Tmo but not on samfirmware. But yeah it says both... but I remember when ICS dropped it was on samfirmware almost immediately after release... could be because the ICS update was kies only... I'm not getting any OTA notification so... what gives..?
