Wallpaper Motion Effect fix after OTA update
For all of you who, like myself, actually enjoyed the Wallpaper Motion Effect, but, have lost it after the OTA update, here's a fix:
1. Back up your phone
2. Install on your PC "Samsung Kies"
3. Reinstall your S6 software via "Kies"
4. Restore your backup
5. *Boom* you're done
Apparently the OTA update is messed up a bit.
Downloading and reinstalling the latest software via PC, fixes all the OTA update problems.

I finally update to JH7 - what a pain in the A$$!
I removed lag fix and flashed back to JH6 then tried the update - failed at 50%; set the date forward and it failed again. Did a master reset on the phone - wipes all data - this lets you redownload the update without waiting 24 hours - failed at 50% again, tried one more time, same result.
So i turned to Kies. Kies would not detect my phone until I turned on mass storage, then back to Kies. But then Kies wanted to update itself and nothing. So back to an old version of Kies and I got some error in the middle of the telling me there was an update.
Finally I found this thread:
http://androidforums.com/samsung-captivate/185812-jh7-firmware-upgrade-successful-through-kies.html
He says that 1.5.3 version of keys works and the update from kies to get to this version is broken (yes I had this experience) - but the download link to Kies in Korea is slow.
So i found this link to Kies on the AT&T forums:
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=17489KPQ
I did not registry cleaning, but i did remove old Kies, delete directory, reboot and install this new Kies. My phone was detected and the update was pushed down to the phone via Download mode.
Kernel is the same, so I will probably put voodoo lagfix back soon.
Exchange works fine for me, so not sure what others see as an issue.
Don't update QuickOffice! The one in JH7 is newer and better.
I can personally verify that this worked. Flashed Odin3 one click to get back to JF6 stock, then followed the directions. Works perfectly and I now have the official JH7 update on my phone
It Works!
This method worked for me as well!
I had originally rooted/sideloaded/removed AT&T bloat on my original stock firmware. OTA update wouldn't work. Restored original stock firmware with Odin and master reset, but update would always fail at 50%.
Using KIES to update worked, and it is the actual AT&T firmware update since it installs QuickOffice (I don't believe the JH7 on samfirmware.com adds QuickOffice).
GPS also works after the update with the "wireless network" option enabled, but the test mode appears to be locked with this update.
OTA update didnt work for me but Kies did. thanks to the OP.
So I am still on 2.3.1 and today I got the message that I had an OTA available. I tried to install it and my phone rebooted and everything but when it was trying to come back on it just showed the android guy with the white triangle and exclamation mark over his head, and it wouldnt do anything else. I had to power off my phone. Now that it is back on, it still shows that it is at 2.3.1.
I am rooted, but no roms or kernels or anything is installed. How can I get that OTA back so that I dont have to manually update it myself? Did this happen because I am rooted? What could I have done differently so next OTA works?
Hmmm... not the first time I hear this happen. I actually don't know what could cause OTA update to fail. Unless you find out what prevented the update, you may need to update manually this time.
When you see that triangle screen again, press Power + Volume Up, then select install zip and point it to the update zip file. It may fail to update again, which I suspect it could mean the wrong OTA file is downloaded. In order to apply a incremental update, you need to apply 2.3.1 -> 2.3.2 -> 2.3.3 -> 2.3.4 updates. If your phone is stupid and downloaded 2.3.4 update, then it would fail. In that case, you have to download the 2.3.4 full ROM and apply manually.
I rooted my asus transformer pad tf300t two months ago. Lately my tablet has been promting me about an available update from Asus. I have my doubt about updating my rooted tablet using an official update, so I did a bit of research. And it seems that normally we are adviced to NEVER update directly from a rooted tablet...
Is that true? Do we need to reflash to get rid of the root first before we update?
Thanks in advance for any advice.
1. Remember to get your /system/apps and /system/lib back to stock state before any OTA update.
2. Make sure apps (especially those that came with the stock, however irrelevant e.g. Netflix) have not been frozen / uninstalled with Titanium Backup or other applications. Sometimes some stock apps (even after factory reset) don't match SHA1 sums. Replace modified apks in /system/app to those that originally come with your stock version of tablet as found in About Tablet.
3. You will need a build.prop that hasn't been modified too! Look around to see if you can find one for your SKU.
4. If you have Chainfire 3D installed, you'll have to uninstall the 3D driver, wipe data and cache for the Chainfire 3D app, and uninstall it before update.
In any case, just go for it.
I did that naively. Update failed miserably (worry not, boots back into your pre-update state!). Looked for a way to put the update file manually into /cache partition, update still failed cause of modified/frozen apks.
Added default apks from some dropbox shared link somewhere on these forums, update still failed due to the Chainfire OpenGL driver issue.
On correcting that problem though, update booted to Jelly Bean!
Oh, and if you wish to keep root after update, remember to change Superuser app to SuperSu, then install OTA Rootkeeper from Google Play, save root. Temporary unroot just to be safe (possibly not essential). Then update!
Hi,
I deleted some apps with Root Uninstaller, and now cannot do OTA update.
Is there a way to download stock apps? Om still on 9.4.3.26 firmware back from April, but it is very buggy - crushes all the time - really need to update it. Please let me know were I can find stock Apps
Thanks
I tried to do some digging, but the firmware just looks a bit dated for any meaningful results to show up. A few build.prop dropbox links have been taken down now that it isn't much used. Even the Asus support site doesn't have a US SKU image of the .26.
I guess your best shot may be to try one of the manual upgrades to .29 and then to V10.4.2.9, or to unlock your bootloader. However, I have not done a manual upgrade yet so I wouldn't know the troubleshooting bit. These instructions seem simple though.
Hi everyone!
I've just received and successfully installed a system update for Android 5.1.1 and it says exactly zero about itself. Even Android's version hasn't changed.
Does anyone have any idea what it fixes? I surmise it fixes two recent holes but 10MB sounds a little too much for that.
I also got but nothing happened
Sent from my Nexus 5
I got it, I'm updating manually since for some reason my phone never wants to update the regular way.
It addresses the Stagefright vulnerability
How can I apply this update manually?
It doesn't apply automatically - there are no errors, nothing. I've rebooted my phone three times already and it wants to install it again.

flash it through ADB
I use this thread as reference just to make sure I don't miss any step but there are a few others threads like this. http://forum.xda-developers.com/google-nexus-5/general/guide-update-rooted-device-to-5-1-lmy47d-t3050789
OTA install error
I got the OTA notification to download & install the Stagefright patch. Every time I try to install it, it says "error!" shortly after it starts to install and shows the android with a red exclamation point.
My nexus 5 is stock & unrooted.
Any idea what's causing this and how to force the install? If not, I can sideload OTA with ADB later tonight.
Thanks!
I think the build number should have changed to LMY48I.

I've had my first freeze and first complete blackout since this small update
This should be the monthly update mentioned on main page
This update is worthless: http://www.theregister.co.uk/2015/0...efright_fix_wont_be_resolved_until_september/
I will skip it.
Hey all.
For whatever reason it has, my phone hasn't gotten the One UI 2.1 and April security patch update yet. I'm having some weird issues with my navigating bar and can't run NavStar to try and fix it unless I'm running the latest version of One UI. I know I can download the latest update manually (got software from this forum that pulls from Samsung's servers, don't remember the name off the top off my head) and flash it using Odin, but I run the risk of wiping my phone if I flash the CSC file.
Is there a way I can download a zip of the firmware update that I can flash from official recovery?
