update fails

OK guys I am using the 1.89 flavour rom and all is good.

Then the phone has downloaded an update from Telstra but it always fails when it tries to install it. (about 157mb worth)

Any idea's or just ignore it and drink more beer ?

Cheers
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] thejosh86:
Drink more beer foh sure!

Pretty sure it's failing because you're unlocked though.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] tererai:
If the current ROM is rooted or has been modified somehow it will not work
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] akin:
Drink more beer it is then

Cheers all
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] XsMagical:
lol, if you want to take the OTA, relock the bootloader, run the stock ruu and update. doin this will also update the hboot and prevent you from flashing a rom and kernel in one single step.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] radavs:
If you want the phone updated just install this one which has the update baked in
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] lolo9393:
Hello all,

My goal is not to go in a separate forum, just to have a link for and with the very few guys owning a 5.0 KOREAN version. (a kind a meeting point)

Specially regarding ROMS because we have no or very tiny access to the related korean forums.

Second point is the fact not really seen with other version, if you "miss" the kernel flashing, (wrong one or not well flashed) this device goes immediatly in wreck state at memory level. (Well explained by expert Rumirand.)

That say It will be good for us to try and get advantages of the newcoming ROMs available for US and INt'l version.

We know in advance we will be loosing camera and some specific Korean functions!!)

Everybody support is welcome.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SiloIT:
I had my phone go into a boot loop this morning. It runs Shostock2 (3.1.0) and it's been running fine but I was having su pop-up problems and quick battery drain, so I was either going to try 3.1.1 or revert to 3.0.5. I've been running Shostock2 for a while now.

Anyway, I went to reboot into CWM, and it would not go. I get a very light flashing on the screen until I release the buttons, then it just boots normal. Once it boots, I have about 5 seconds before it freezes and re-boots itself. In that 5 seconds I've tried putting it in airplane mode or using the boot menu to get to recovery. As always though, in 5 secs it freezes and in 30 it reboots again.

I can get into download mode, so I was planning on using heimdall (I'm on Linux) to flash the UCLE5 packages posted by creepyncrawly (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1746181) or the UCKH7 packages posted by Entropy (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1286432).

My preference is to use the UCLE5 package. Can this be used to recover from this?

And my real question is: Can I replace the zImage from that package with a zImage from the cherrypicker.tar and flash that with heimdall in one step INSTEAD of using the zImage that came with the UCLE5 pkg?

TIA
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
First thing to try...

hold the three buttons for recovery mode down continuously while the boot screen appears, disappears, and appears a second time. See if that gets you into recovery.

You could try replacing the zImage, retar and flash. Might work ok. It would be much quicker and more effecient to flash with the stock kernel, and then use mobile odin to flash cherrypicker.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SiloIT:
Genius. I thought I was doing the boot into recovery correctly. Apparently not. I used the instructions above to get into CWM and reflash Sho 3.0.5 (the last really stable one for me). All looks good.

Thanks very much!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
Most of the time, if you let go of the buttons on the first boot screen, the phone will boot into recovery, so unless you know to try it, you wouldn't usually think of that.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] dandrumheller:
I wonder if this behavior is device dependent - I've heard numerous people post that this works for them, but on both my phone and my wife's, this has never worked. I've always had to hold the 3-button combo until the second time the GalaxySII logo comes up for them to get into recovery successfully.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] creepyncrawly:
Noted. Interesting.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SiloIT:
Exactly. I was letting go of the buttons on the first boot screen and it was going straight to the Shostock logo. I thought I had somehow lost recovery.

The interesting thing from my perspective is that I've booted into recovery quite a few times using the buttons (although mostly using the extended menu) and I don't ever recall waiting for the second boot.

Filing this one under "real damn useful".
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mazray:
can anyone assist me by providing solutions on how to fix the following problems on this rom i mentioned above. the problems i have come across include

1. no boot animation even after installing resident evil boot animation

2. adrenaline task manager not working

3. no live wallpapers
[Galaxy S III General] 3dward87:
Hello folkz,

I`m proud to present a solution to fix the reload Launcher problem. Must work with all firmwares (still I recommend I9300XXBLFB) or the latests !

First, how can I check if I get this problem if I didnt noticed it?

1. Long press Home button

2. Task manager

3. Go to RAM

4. Clear memory

5. Press Home button

6. See how all home reloads, the launcher is reload :)

Solution:

1. Take out Weather Clock widget http://db.tt/CY2rRwzu

2. Soft reset

3. Clear memory, surprize.. no reload :)

Video to prove

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hOUfWtHQ0Ec

Tip:

A better Weather Clock you find at Beautiful Widgets, and the problem is gone

This solution will work much better, no more often reloads.. only when your RAM is highly overused.
[Galaxy S III General] marcadam:
So basically you're saying that LFB fixes the redraw problem and all you have to do is flash LFB?
[Galaxy S III General] puiradu2009:
At least he was right with one thing. In I9300BVALF4 after a wipe and a factory reset I can not reproduce the TW reload.
[Galaxy S III General] puiradu2009:
You are wrong! I tested on my s2 and after clearing the RAM the TW launcher remains every time so this must be also in S3 firmwares.
[Galaxy S III General] nodstuff:
You could do it this way, or,

2)

Change launcher oom priorities.

Hmmm, which way is easier, makes more sense and isn't stupid?

Oh I know, its the second way!

Seriously OP, you took the long pointless way to do something simple.

And what's all this about noobs??

You can't talk about noobs, just read the OP and you'll see why.
[Galaxy S III General] chrisd1a1:
Thread cleaned. There does seem to be feedback this works.

This stays open pending further review. Please keep any comments nice and relavant
[Galaxy S III General] SimonCraddock:
I fixed mine by simply turning off animations, however since flashing latest firmware it seems fine with animations enabled.
[Galaxy S III General] 3dward87:
Thank you, anyway I will not post too much anymore here.. I just post what I did found by myself, if people doesnt like my solution they can ignore not to flame me for nothing, I didnt ask for money or for nothing, just tried to help.

The results can be seen in the video clearly. Who has anything else to add, be free

I`d love somebody else find a better solution, or Samsung to look into Orange stock firmware, why there is no problem with launcher and on the rest it is..

in last UK firmware ? did you do what I wrote, or just flashed last firmware and factory reset.. ?
[Galaxy S III General] 3dward87:
how can I delete this post?
[Galaxy S III General] Lennyuk:
so your saying clearing ram causes a redraw... of course it does! Your clearing the bloody ram! Jesus
[Galaxy S III General] 3dward87:
No, that you can test if the problem exist to your firmware.

Of course and not of course, what to be ? because on my video is not reloading the launcher.. dont know, you guys when post did you ever read ?

If reload when clear memory, is clear that you have problems. For example enter on browser Opera, make a big download, open also a radio, camera, and play a game, for example asphalt 6.. now press home button, to see how is reload your launcher.. wow.. without clearing the memory

That is the fastest and small test to see if have problems or not.
[Galaxy S III General] nodstuff:
There is no need to flash all sorts of firmwares and jump through burning hoops, all people need to do is change the oom priority of the launcher.
[Galaxy S III General] NexusCrazy:
This has been reported as a problem loads of times. Nice one for posting a fix.

As for all the trolls, if you don't like something there's no need to start ripping people appart. Xda used to be a really nice place but sad to say to many trolls on here now spoiling it.

If you haven't got something nice or some positive criticism to say don't say anything. Simple.

[Rant over]
[Galaxy S III General] 3dward87:
Are you joking when you say that ?

So for you this is more easy and noob friendly

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1719386

????

Bear that in mind that most of us we like to keep the phone on STOCKS and UNROOTED.

Thanks

@NexusCrazy you are right, I most only read here.. gather info, flash roms and so on.. this from 2007.. now are much people only to flame here..
[Galaxy S III General] nodstuff:
No I'm not joking at all, and look at method 2 on that page, it doesn't get more simple than that.

And when you say "most of us want to keep it on stock" what you actually mean is some of us, because most people on xda would be rooted, at least.
[Galaxy S III General] 3dward87:
Yes very simple, anyway is doesnt matter what I wrote here because I found who cause this bug and I will edit the first post.. and for all firmwares is like fixed

I like too root and customs roms, but now for S3 best are stocks...

LE: First post modified, check for the real solution
[Galaxy S III General] bala_gamer:
god! what is the logic behind flashing 2 firmwares back to back? and how can it possibly fix launcher redraw which is caused by poor allocation of memory?
[Galaxy S III General] 3dward87:
Is not because of that, read now first post to see what was the problem.. Is a bug from Weather Clock

The stock from Orange didnt have that clock as default, thats why worked nice.
[Galaxy S III General] bondx99:
Damn this worked for me :good:..tried 2 games, heavy browsing, everything..no reload @ all..even after clearing memory, therez no reload..a simple and excellent solution! Dunno about rest of the guys but worked for me like a charm! :good::good:
[Galaxy S III General] mastair:
Should I disable the weather widget in the application manager?

I don't have the weather widget on my home screen but I still do have the redraw problem. :confused:
[Galaxy S III General] 3dward87:
Glad it did, for me too working like a charm now :)

Also to not mention that I have Llama in background + Total Recall.. still working nice

@mastair I recommend install last firmware, I9300XXBLFB

also yes you can disable it from app manager
[Galaxy S III General] mastair:
@3dward87

I already flashed that firmware, the redraw problem is not that prominent anymore afterwards but still exists.

I'll disable it in the application manager, but looks strange to me.
[Galaxy S III General] 3dward87:
And what exactly you do to reload again the launcher.. ?

Strange to me too, but it seems working
[Galaxy S III General] bondx99:
:good::victory::victory:..btw i suggest you to delete your old method..this is simple, effective and working ;)...the old one will get you more flames!:D
[Galaxy S III General] NexusCrazy:
Nice work, Ive just tried the new method and it works great. Nice bit of investigating work there.
[Galaxy S III General] NexusCrazy:
What was you saying, it looks like you need to do your homework before flaming people.
[Galaxy S III General] SlimJ87D:
Not to steal any ones thunder here, but I thought it was common knowledge that the weather clock widget sucked up resources....
[Galaxy S III General] nodstuff:
OP is the kinda guy who lights a fire and then thinks he invented it.

This is old news and doesn't solve the problem, it just takes a memory consuming app/service out of the equation.

And to the arrogant little **** getting smart with lennyuk, you do know he is a developer right, and that he knows more about this than you could possibly ever know.

This isn't a fix.
[Galaxy S III General] 3dward87:
Yes now I am a "geek" with my thread haha (being ironically..)

I never saw a thread to present this solution, if really exist sorry.. but it seems more didnt know
[Galaxy S III General] SlimJ87D:
I agree. There's no tutorial here, only a pass of information.
[Galaxy S III General] NexusCrazy:
Some horrible nasty vermin on here.

The op tried to help people and look at the crap he gets people need to grow up Devs as well (didn't realise I had to suck up to all Devs, ill remember for the future lol) and the threads been cleaned once already.

P.S. No disrespect to the Devs out there keeping it real. I appreciate what you do.

And by the way since I applied the (non) fix I can't replicate the problem.
[Galaxy S III General] SlimJ87D:
Yes, but initially it was very misinformed and that's why everyone gave him crap because it wasn't a true solution, but a very tedious process that didn't do anything.

It's like me telling you to "Factor Reset" your phone 2 times in a row and delete all your apps, settings, etc to supposedly fix a problem. Every dev in here pointed out the obvious that you would waste your time with this so called "tutorial."

So next time you go about trying to defend someone, if the majority of the board is flaming the OP there is a reason, figure it out.
[Galaxy S III General] nodstuff:
This isn't personal OP, its just that telling someone to flash firmware x and then flash firmware y isn't a fix. Its silly.

Deleting a memory hogging widget isn't solving the problem either.

I have the weather widget running and don't get redraws because I fixed it by changing oom priorities.

I can haz my cake and eatz it too.
[Galaxy S III General] NexusCrazy:
At last a bit of love on XDA.

My turn, sorry if I offended anyone that's not what I'm here for.

Peace to you all :)

And even if its not a proper fix I'm sure some will use it to enhance there SGS3's
[Galaxy S III General] 3dward87:
Ahh.. this is the problem, the title of thread ... lol to that

I will change for you to be happy.

Really, how do you know if works or not if you did another change?

I didnt change any priorities, I am with stock and unrooted, working now like a charm.. so why you bother then ?

Who already tested, confirmed it works.. so we dont need you to come here and flame
[Galaxy S III General] nodstuff:
Because I know what I am doing and you don't.

What if someone wants to keep the widget AND stop redraws?

What advice do you give those people?

Your solution is wrong and only suitable for people who don't want to keep the widget, and even then it doesn't solve the problem it just removes one widget from the ram meaning there is more available and the chance of a launcher redraw is LESS LIKELY, NOT GONE.

Changing oom priorities is the best way to stop redraws, you are entitled to dispute that but of course you would be wrong.

You don't know what you are talking about, leave it at that.
[Galaxy S III General] NexusCrazy:
I do find it strange that a properly coded widget would be enough on its own to drain enough memory to cause the launcher to re-draw like it does. On the other hand if it had a bug/memory leak I could see why. Has anyone looked into this?

Since disabling the weather widget my phones launcher is 100% better, like I've said I can't replicate the problem anymore.
[Galaxy S III General] XO:
one of the first things I will be doing one I get my s3 hopefully
[Galaxy S III General] 3dward87:
That widget can be easy replaced with better ones, already mentioned this in first post.

And to be honest, I dont care what you know and what you do. I understand your thoughts, now please stop, no need to explain me anymore. People do whatever they want, not what you want.

FOR ME and most, this is working, as they already confirmed.
[Galaxy S III General] nodstuff:
This is misinformation and the wrong way to 'fix' this problem.

Anyone interested in fixing it properly should go to android.mimic.ca and upload their services.jar and it will be patched and the oom priorities for the launcher will be set to 1 which stops it being killed off which in turn means no more redraws.

This way will allow you to keep the weather widget, which I think is quite nice, and will solve the problem.

This is the right way to do it, your way is the wrong way, people should NOT be doing it the way you describe as it is NOT a fix.
[Galaxy S III General] billybobjones:
k. thanks. can we all move on now?:rolleyes:
[Galaxy S III General] Olywa123:
Thanks for sharing OP - works for me - would rather find an alt weather widget if it means no re-draw issues.

And beside, in the latest firmware update the weather widget seems to be broken (no longer auto updates) so as much as I like it, have to ditch it anyway for the time being.

Appreciate your effort.

Olywa
[Galaxy S III General] puiradu2009:
Anyway that was a horrible widget! :-) As I wrote you I was almost sure that an incompatibile widget caused the reload. For the smater around here: How much ram can a widget consume to produce such a mess?! It's not about the ram it's about a conflict between the widget and the launcher.

Offtopic: Please test Ivona TTS with Romanian Carmen voice and activate drive mode setting Ivona as default TTS and you will be surprised that randomly your device will restar itself. That's a conflict! That's what that widget produced!

If all of you who are the smart asses around here you didn't discovered that simple solution/problem/incompatibility at least use your common sense and shut up or give some thanks to his guy. If you can't go ****yourselves!
[Galaxy S III General] nodstuff:
Your stupidity knows no bounds.

If there was an "incompatibility" or a "conflict" between launcher and widget, how come they work fine for me?

No redraws. No problems.

Fixed using the correct method.

Well??? What's your answer to that oh smart one??

Keep quiet in future. Thanks! :)
[Galaxy S III General] puiradu2009:
Did they work without changing the priority?! So... We are talking about stock roms here not about modification applied to the rom. If you solved you problems another way why are you making waves around. This is another solution and I'm sure that 99%of the users will not be able to do it you way.

Edit: And yes It's an incompatibility in that widget. Try with all other widgets at once to see if you can reproduce.... If you changed that priority of the launcher you only made the launcher not to close without solving the problem. It's like you've learned to live with a handicap....
[Galaxy S III General] puiradu2009:
Please resume only to yours and keep your mouth shut. Maybe we will meet someday and you will be surprised...
[Galaxy S III General] sarbe:
Thanks for the info.

I can feel a mod intervention soon.
[Galaxy S III General] puiradu2009:
It's indicated, mostly for stupidity quotes...
[Galaxy S III General] ShiroEd:
Hi guys,

Sorry for the stoopid question but how are you 'removing' this widget?

Do you disable it in Manage Apps? Is there another way to delete this or stop it from running?

I've very hopeful that this will work for me.

Many thanks.
[Galaxy S III General] 3dward87:
@puiradu2009, thanks for intervention, you are 100% right :)

@ShiroEd, hold on widget and take it down to recycle

no need to disable from apps, working only if you remove from "desktop"

but if you want to disable you can do it with no problems (it`s called in app manager, Weather and Weather Main)
[Galaxy S III General] ShiroEd:
Hmmm...

In that case I can say that this is not a solution. :crying: I've never had that widget on my homescreen (apart from when I removed it as soon as I bought my GS3) and my homescreen redraws all the time upon exit from browser/facebook/GReader etc. Drives me CRAZY!

I've disabled Weather/Weather Main via the App Manager so if this does have anything to do with the homescreen redraw then I'll soon know.

I'll report back after some time in use.
[Galaxy S III General] puiradu2009:
Try to disable weather daemon and make a restart. And maybe you need a newer firmware...
[Galaxy S III General] ShiroEd:
I'm on the latest LFB firmware.

What do you mean disable the weather daemon?
[Galaxy S III General] mazdarati2:
soft reset? what does that mean?
[Galaxy S III General] 3dward87:
same as disable the weather..

reset the device, reboot (restart)
[Galaxy S III General] emahmood87:
Hey this will not solve the reload problem... All it does is ensure that clearing ram in task manager does not crash touch wiz ... For example if you are heavily browsing like on flash websites then touch wiz will reload when u go back to home screen...
[Galaxy S III General] 3dward87:
hmm dont know, just played a bit darkorbit browsergame (flash game) .. and no reload

maybe if RAM is fully loaded ?
[Galaxy S III General] ssaqib4e:
A lil confused..OP earlier u had an extremely foolish procedure which i dint bother to even read... now u are trying to report that the weather widget has some problem?? So to get off the lag, one shud jus kik over nd try some new weather widget.. ummm...i have noted this earlier, no doubt it works... so now the solution wud be to fix the widget then...hope someone does that soon...

Sorry the OP isnt a solution... just a lil improvemnt.. there is something else.. the widget isnt the root cause of the problem...
[Galaxy S III General] ShiroEd:
I'm disappointed to report that this is not a solution to the homescreen redraw problem.

I was initially sceptical when I realised that the OP was suggesting that one simply removes the weather widget from the homescreen. I've since disabled both instances of weather related services from App Manager but the redraw problem returned after approximately half a day's up-time.

I wanted to try the other option previously mentioned but I need to have a deodexed ROM. If I knew this would sort it I would do it in a heartbeat.

I'm just thinking of waiting for a Jellybean ROM to surface and not wasting any more time on this.

---------- Post added at 12:32 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:30 AM ----------

This result is simply because you've JUST done a reset/reboot.
[Galaxy S III General] 3dward87:
No is not, give reboot with that widget on, how many times you want.. clear memory to see the redraw exists..

I say to reboot to clear the memory from that widget, is same either reboot, either clear memory 1-2 times..
[Galaxy S III General] myprecious27:
I have the latest firmware, I don't use, and never have used, any of the weather widgets (or whatever) - I don't use TW, and still the problem of redrawing the launcher occurs from time to time. You have solved nothing.
[Galaxy S III General] mazdarati2:
when you download a launcher like nova launcher, is the problem then fixed?
[Galaxy S III General] nodstuff:
No, its a little better but not gone.

Which proves that removing the weather widget is pointless, and I can see that people are coming to that conclusion already.

Don't bother with this, it doesn't work.
[Galaxy S III General] Spewy1:
Have you removed the widget from touch wiz even though you are using another launcher? In fact, clear all widgets from the stock launcher before installing a new launcher.

Not sure if that will help on the s3 but it was something I picked up to improve the performance of my tablet (galaxy 7.7)
