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?

A few months ago, I loaded 2.3.6 firmware on phone. It is stock gingerbread with root from oden file all_in_one_odin_ep4d. Last week I received an OTA update. The update fails to load and leaves me at the screen with the white triangle with yellow exclamation point. I pulled the battery and rebooted. Today, the update came back. Still no go. I think the update is incompatible with the software on the phone.
Can someone tell me:
1. What is in the update? Is it going to remove root and allow Verizon to see that I 3rd party tether? Are they suddenly going to slap a tether package on my bill? Is it even worth installing?
2. If it’s not worth installing, can I tell my phone that I don’t want it by making it think that the update is already installed?
3. If the update is worth installing, should I wait for an oden install that contains the update or do I do something to the phone to allow it to receive the OTA update? If I do opt for the OTA what must I do to allow it to load?
Being somewhat novice when it comes to loading software on phones, is there a good FAQ out there that lists all the different loads, with what they contain and explanations of those components. Right now, voodoo, Peanut butter and jelly… buzzwords.

All in one package that you installed came with custom kernel. You need to flash a FP1 debloated/bloated/rooted rom and the FP1 kernel. Since you have the custom rom+kernel you can not use OTA update. Some people (like me) prefer to do it clean by go back to stock EP4d rom, then do the full update to FP1, then flash what ever custom rom out there, like Eclipse or debloated etc...More on how to do it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1560117
Sooner or later you should be on the latest version any way specially for support from XDA.
Thanks for setting me straight. Let’s see if I understand your info.
1. I have a custom ROM and need to use the stock one to be able to get the update to install.
2. Once I install the stock ROM and get the update, I could reinstall the same custom ROM I have now.
3. Returning my phone to stock will remove root access so I can get the update
How do I get back to stock everything, update the phone and then add only root access. I don’t know enough about stock ROMs to know why I’d want or need one.

1. Yes, you need EP4D stock rom to get OTA update.
2. Yes, once you on stock FP1, you can use flash eclipse 2.0 (which build from FP1 rom). Once done you will have FP1 eclipse with FP1 stock kernel.
3. If you have pure stock EP4D and rooted, you can take the OTA, but yours is not.
You have 2 Options to upgrade:
1. Flash back to pure stock EP4D, OTA upgrade to FP1 then flash pre-rooted FP1 eclipse 2.0 rom. Then flash cwm.
2. Flash FP1 pre-rooted eclipse 2.0 rom, flash cwm, flash FP1 kernel, flash FP1 radio.
Hope this help, don't hesitate to ask if you have more questions.
Ok. That makes sense, sort of…
I’m going to give #1 a try since I found the stock EP4D load on the page you recommended. I will then be able to get the OTA update and have a stock phone with FP1.
I will then follow #5 on that page to root my pure stock FP1 and make CWM stick after reboot. Do you know if there is a free program that will let me change the file permissions of “install-recovery.sh” like root explorer?

root browser lite or ES file explorer. Both you can get from the Market (google play).
Thanks for the help. I got the phone updated successfully. I ended up having to load eclipse ROM on the phone after the OTA update as the other method with superuser update and superuser fixer failed to deliver root access.
couple of questions:
1. I can no longer set multi-screen wallpaper. How do I restore this functionality?
2. I can't answer my phone using the puzzle pieces. what am I missing?
Mike
PS thanks again for all the help. Sometimes I just need a push in the right direction.
Now that i've had a chance to play with the phone... The market keeps crashing. Anyone know what to do?

I come from a droid x2 and i remember when the official ota update to 2.3.4 came out, i downloaded the zip and renamed it to update.zip and i could boot into recovery and install the update from there.
So i was just curious if it is possible to update in this way with the Galaxy s3? I am asking for two reasons though.. One, i am just curious coming from the x2. Two, is it possible to update to jellybean this way with the newest leak (11/15) or is that completely impossible?
I am familiar with Odin and using Odin to flash updates and whatnot, but just thought i would ask why this would or would not work.
Guys was there any firmware update for P3100? I updated an oTA and i dont really see any change.
Thanks.

I think you should see a change, maybe before the update your OS was 4.1.2 and after the update it was same again too?
You would have observe that you have a app called Play Magazine, Play Books and also there should be a shrink, thinness in your notification bar.
Am I right?
Anyway for Tab2 p3100 devices there is a update ie. 4.2.2 Officially.
It is available in many countries, though first distributed in FRANCE.
You can get the update by two methods:
1. Install KIES and connect your tab and update your Firmware.
OR
2. Download the official firmware zip file and also download ODIN v1.85. Flash the zip file via ODIN ( Your tab should be in DOWNLOAD MODE )
Cheers :beer:
*Remember either way you need KIES or DRIVERS FOR YOUR TAB. ( Just install KIES it will install drivers too.
*Read instructions carefully while applying.
Have a nice day
This was really helpful, I've got that poay magzines and all and also the status bar has shrinked but the androis version shown is still 4.1.2

I downloaded the 5.0.1 update on Nexus 5. But I decided not to install it. I deleted the update.zip from /cache/update.zip. However, now, anytime I go to Settings -> About -> System Updates, it says the 5.0.1 update is downloaded and I need to restart to install it.
When I click on that, nothing happens as OTA file does not exists any more.
Can someone help me clear that mark as I will not get the 5.1 OTA?
or can someone create a simple update.zip for me (which does essentially nothing but does a printf or echo) so Phone will find a zip and it will mark the OTA as successfully installed.
Any help is appreciated.
Shameless bump. Any help to remove the update ready to download and install?

Not sure what you are after. I think it's the notification of an update. I froze updates in the system.
Why don't you download a 5.1 zip to get rid of the problems in 5.01?
You would get rid of the notification too."Lite ROM "is superb and stock, with minimal Gapps. You could change your rom build no. So the updater checks and thinks you are up to date. I'd go for the rom. I'm on it and it's the best lollipop I've had.

Thanks. I am still waiting on before I can put 5.1
So, I was thinking if I flash a standard update.zip (which does nothing except echo) so that I can check for future updates.
This is the best way to get the word on updates! They scan googles Github!

Dear all,
Hope you are doing great, I was downloading and installing automatic updates just fine and the other week got a notification about a new update of over 1.4 gbs and the automatic installer was not possible to do and requested me to download it and installing it manually. I downloaded the Rar and everything was going smooth and when I enter TWRP I installed at first shoot without doing any wipe or clear cache or data.
All was installed and it told me to restart the phone, I did that and vroom a vibrating sound happen and got me back to the main screen of Poco and then to TWRP and show me 3 workarounds to clear data and cache and the last resort do a clean flash rom.
I had to end with the last option since I was unable to install the update. What could be gone wrong here? I am back at stock now and I am very sad that this fricking update break all the custom firmware and got me bootlooped
I look for your inputs and maybe I can try again.
Thank you!
You must install Android 11 firmware for newer versions of Arrow as it has switched to OSS vendor.
I was on arrow os 11 so Android 11 was on there, the issue was when I was installing the new update from surija I believe si called the developer.
Do you guys have an idea what did I did wrong? Should You recommend staying vainilla stock miui 12 with root privileges or arrow 11?
Thank you!
I was able to flash the latest version update but I am having a System UI is not responding and got WIFI broken so if anyone is installing this update be careful, does anyone installed the last arrow OS update?
I am currently having issues with the last update, I think I will stick with no updates on the firmware
Sorry I am posting multiple updates on my thread, but I tested it and definetly the last update from Surya break the OS when you login you do not have WIFI and is showing the error I mentioned UI system unresponsive. I installed the version from April from Arrow OS and all works like a charm.
So if anyone reads this be careful with latest release from Surya 5/14 version
Yes, i can confirm. The version I used initially was from april 30. The update from may caused bootloop. I'll be turning off updates when I restore it with miflash.
The main reason I went with arrow is that it is selinux enforcing and supports safety net. But this really makes me think..
@SebixWolf The problem may have been that you flashed arrowos from the wrong miui version. I just miflashed back to the original regional version, flashed twrp again and flashed the R firmware. See https://forum.xda-developers.com/t/...ng-flashing-custom-rom.4274891/#post-85002889
