Hey guys,
Im trying to update to ICS. I checked for the new firmware, it found it. So it started downloading it, then about half way through the download, it failed and said it was reverting back to its original state. So I restarted my device and I am trying to restart the update. When I go into settings and go to the check for updates tab, it says "there is a system firmware update for your device. Please check notifications"
Now when I open up notifications, nothing is there. Is there any way to restart the update? I cant seem to get it to retry.
Thanks, much appreciated.
Go to Settings - Applications - Manage - All - DMClient - Force Close then Clear Data
Next Settings - Applications - Manage - All - CMClient - Force Close then Clear Data
Reboot
Check for update.
Thank you so much!
Ok I downloaded and installed the rom listed in the title, didn't have any problems until I went to settings and tried to uninstall an app. When i press "Apps" I get a message that says "Unfortunately Settings has stopped working" I cant find anything on the internet that will fix this, thanks for the help.
Requires root
Firstly go into settings > more > about device > software update, and disable the Auto Update option.
Use an auto start or boot manager to disable both processes for "Software Update". You may need select a setting to show system apps on your list.
This should cause the system to not check if there is a downloaded OTA update on your phone.
Note: If you have more than one Software Update app then open the notification in your notification bar and postpone the update further and go back to your boot manager to check which of your Software Update apps were running. This is the one you will need to disable.
Should you need to install the OTA update later, go into the Software Update settings and click check for update OR go back to your boot manager and enable the processes again and reboot.

Hi, since the Oreo update I can't find the "Unknown sources" to install APK's freely. I'ts not under "Lock Screen and Security", and I have enabled Chrome in "Applications/Special Access/Install other apps" and I'm trying to install apps from the "Downloads" section of chrome, but it dosn't work this way either.
I was trying to install the Pixel Launcher as seen from here: https://theunlockr.com/2018/03/13/make-samsung-galaxy-s9-look-like-stock-android/
But everytime I try it I get the "<!> Application not installed".
I don't know exactly what says in english, I'm using my phone in spanish.
Any ideas? Thanks!
If you go to Settings-Apps-3 Dots-Special Access-Install Unknown Apps.
They've moved it so only certain apps can install unknown apps
Please help how to fix this problem. This doesn't work, I tried installing Accuweather pro several times. I have the app saved to my Google Drive, I click on the app and I see something called 'Staging App' and then I get this alert ' There was a problem parsing the package'. I currently had an older version of Accuweather pro installed and working fine. I decided to remove the old version and then reinstall it and I received the same alert. FYI the old Accuweather app was installed before the Oreo update.

Have you tried downloading your APP file from Google Drive to your phone then opening the copy on your phone, that should install the .apk
Go to settings on the phone >> apps >> 3 vertical dots at the top right corner >> special access >> install unknown apps >> and there enable the permission from where you are trying to download it.
All thank you,
I found out that you now have to download the app to your phone. Google Drive does not allow you to download and manually install .
Dear sir/madam,
Following your answer, in specific this part, "They've moved it so only certain apps can install unknown apps", perhaps someone could help me out. I use the Firefox Focus browser and this app doesn't show up in the list of apps that are allowed to install unknown apps.
* Does this mean Firefox Focus can't install apps from unknown apps, since it's not on the list?
* And perhaps we can conclude from that it will never be allowed to do so?
* Or would this app not be on this list, because I've never tried installing anything using this browser?
I guess the real question would be, what populates this list?
I hope to hear from you, thanks in advance, all the best.
Form what I've seen, 1st time you try to install apk from an app it asks you if you want to allow it?

That's what I was thinking as well, funny thing is that 'Google Chrome' is in the list and I've never used that browser. Unless it's there, because it's from Google
I have followed the above suggestions and have allowed Chrome to install apps since that's the browser I'm using. The phone says I have downloaded the app but it is not giving me any option to install it? Where did the download go and how can I get it actually installed? This is an app for work.
Edit: Nevermind - I restarted the phone and tried again and it worked. thanks.
Hi everyone. I'm currently on Android 10 and unfortunately I inadvertently clicked the update from the notifications - I haven't clicked the prompt to "OK" which is saying my phone will be unrooted after updating, and I immediately force closed it and restarted my phone.
I understand Android 11 is still full of bugs and does not yet support TWRP so I don't want to update yet.
I also disabled automatic system updates via my developer options.
I also froze the following via Titanium: dynamic system updates 10, system update 2.1.3 and system updates 3.0.5.
1) Is it safe to freeze those three apps?
2) Have I done enough to prevent my phone from downloading the system update to Android 11?
Thank you
