Mods and otas. - ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I have the louder volume mod but am going to flash the stock sound default zip now. I flashed a android l keyboard zip I had because I forgot the apk was on play store now. Will the keyboard zip have any affect on otas or no?
Sent from my A0001 using xda premium

It probably will affect your ability to flash the OTA, because it'd be classified as a modified system file.

Even though its a keyboard? Will deleting it work or do I have to go back to a nandroid backup?
Sent from my A0001 using xda premium

It's still a system file. I'm only guessing though. There's a flashable version of the update somewhere here, you could use that instead, or if you look in my index thread (check my signature) I have a link to a thread that contains a modified OTA that will install over the top of a modified system.

[Q] stock MB1 firmware image available

Hi all-
I'm new posting here, but I've been reading for months. I first wanted to say thanks to all the developers and other helpful folks here. I have a VZW GS3 - rooted, unlocked bootloader, currently running CleanRom 6 with KindaCrapMods and TWRP 2.5.0.0 as my custom recovery. I've had a few problems here and there, but with the help of the search feature and a little reading, I've always been able to sort things out. THANKS!!!
So, on to the question. I noticed that there was no stock 4.1.2 firmware (MB1) available for a long time after it was released for OTA. I figured that this was because it was a relatively small patch, unlike the previous leaks and OTA (e.g. LK3), which were a full jump in Android API level. Maybe Samsung had not released a full version that could be flashed in Odin, or maybe it just hadn't been compiled by a dev yet. Anyway, I noticed a couple of days ago that there was an MB1 firmware posted at samsung-updates.com
Does anyone know if this is the real deal? Is it full wipe? If so, then it should be helpful to those who are looking for a way to get back to MB1 stock without having to go all the way back to LK3 and then take the OTA. Also, maybe now that we have a full Odin-able MB1, we could get an update to the Factory Image root/unlock guide by open1your1eyes0 or one of the other root guides.
Thanks again!
I just downloaded and flashed it via Odin. It is indeed MB1 and full wipe. It booted up fine for me. No issues thus far
Hmm, appreciate the heads up on this
Nice. Thanks for posting this. I hadn't seen that they had the 4.1.2 download up. For some reason it is hard to find an image of this rom completely stock. Thanks!
So why should we flash this? Sorry noobie

Gonna have to do this on mine to get the latest OTA.
There's nothing wrong with my current rom but the new OTA won't install because I used Titanium Backup to get rid of some of bloatware, which of course is among the things the OTA wants to update. For example, there is no longer an All-Sharecast app on my phone. Never used it. Don't need it. Blew it away. However, not finding it, the whole OTA aborts.
N/m
Turns out it was a very good thing that I found this. The new MD3 OTA sent my signal strength down the tubes. So I used this to Odin back to MB1 stock. I did a full wipe, loaded TWRP, then rooted, unlocked bootloader, and went back to CleanROM6 R2. All is well again.
If it ain't broke...

[Q] Rooting Infuse from Gingerbread?

Hi all
I'm new to this stuff and want to upgrade my Infuse from Gingerbread (which I installed via Kies when the update was finally made available) to Jellybean. However, from what I've gathered, I can't use the Super One Click program to root my phone with 2.3.6, and since I'm new to this, I don't want to brick the phone. What would you suggest I use to first root the phone? I have found plenty of stuff here, but I am unclear whether I can use the stuff posted since I've already upgraded to Gingerbread (vs. the 2.2 stock). After that, am I correct in understanding that I then just back up my info via something like Titanium Backup and then pick a custom ROM I like and flash it? Thanks, and sorry in advance for what I am sure are really stupid questions.

It's some kind of pre-patch check, for sure. It's odd, I got the OTA update and was still rooted - no problems. I had to re-root, obviously - but it didn't seem to care.
Have you frozen or uninstalled any system apps, per chance?

Idea: Try wiping your cache and dalvik cache from TWRP, then try installing the update.
Got it here's how.Go into SuperSU do a full unroot and reboot then after you reboot boot back into boot loader and relock boot loader "fastboot oem lock" then reboot. Then reboot into stock recovery and apply update.
PROFIT! just did mine
The downside you will have to re unlock (wipe data) and reroot if you want root

[HTC One SV][Kernel][Linaro][4.2.2] Linaro kernel for K2_UL v0.1 ALPHA

Hello and happy new year everybody!
I compiled stock k2_ul kernel with linaro toolchain, just for fun. And I'm sharing it
I tested it personally and on my phone it seems to work fine. Anyway, let me now if something doesn't work.
if you're S-OFF, just flash the attached zip
if you're S-ON, flash the zip, then reboot in fastboot and do
Code:
fastboot flash boot boot.img
from computer.
Features:
- Compiled with Linaro Toolchain
- Unsecure system
- Debuggable
I'm not responsible for any damage you make to your phone.
have fun!

Given the similarities between both K2 variants it may very well work. If you wish to test it then I advise booting it vice flashing it. This way if it doesn't go so well, you can reboot the device and your original one will still be in place without being overwritten. Below is the command to boot vice flash:
fastboot boot boot.img
Edit: if you do it, please report back here with updates.

Yea, I get that, but the above command will boot the boot.img instead of flashing the boot.img. Flashing will overwrite the specified partition with the other img, where as booting it will keep the original, and in a sense, virtually boot the other img and will run it until you restart your device in which your device will go back to using the original img already stored on your device previously.
