Unless the firmware for the camera is on a separate partition. Just a guess. That is a good point though. Its hard to think of how that would work. I'm planning to test it all out in a bit so hopefully I can come up w something.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] vinnyjr:
The recent OTA update is fast and snappier then past one. Only problem is that the stock Android recovery over-writes any custom recovery installed when rooting the phone. The phone remains rooted but you loose your new recovery to the stock Android Recovery. This happens after rebooting phone.

This only happens when you are on the stock OTA update.

[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] DocHoliday77:
Ahh, well then, have you tried a factory reset? (Backup internal sd first)

This update had quite a few changes and just applying the patch and rolling with it from there may cause any number of issues.

This camera update, how do you do it? Got the ota update this morning. See the brightness thing but no camera changes, I even called the #34971539# and it said it won't go. Halp?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Pig Vomit:
I noticed some very minor things after the update....mostly audio notifications weren't coming through....so I did a factory reset a couple hours ago. IMO, always a good idea to do a factory reset after any firmware update. Too soon to know if everything's fine.....but the audio notifications are definitely working now.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ipaq dude:
I just checked for update. Updater says my phone is upto daten i didnt install any update recently. Maybe because of rooted ? Please help thanks
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] RaymondPJR:
No, that's not it at all. Updates go out in waves so you just have to keep checking until it comes to your area. Or, you can do what I did and install the update via Odin, I did the one that comes pre-rooted and doesn't flash the trip counter. The other option (and the easiest if you don't care about being rooted) is to download Kies mini to your computer and use it to get the update.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] rookiegenius:
this update messes up my phone. No ripple sound, the LED light is messed up (not turning green when full charged), also no sound when reboot......WTF......

I have the rooted stock ROM with ICS messaging app. One of the most annoying things in TouchWiz is there messaging app brings in all pictures as slideshows and you can't zoom in on pics you can barely see. Does anyone know if the new T999UVLH2 still does this with text messaging? Trying to decide on making the update and re-rooting or not. Thanks in advance for any help.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ingenious247:
Install OTA root keeper from the market, open the app, grant super user permissions, open the app again, click "backup root" then allow the update.

When it's done updating, open the OTA root keeper app, restore root. Then factory reset to wipe any bugs that may be present (trust me you'll end up doing it later anyway if you don't), then install busybox from the market after you've set up your phone again, and you'll be good to go.

+1 i was wondering about that too and this thread popped up, anyone know why ?
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Balut20:
Need clarification

Rooted. Stock Rom.

Not too familiar with OTA's on a rooted phone and I'm a bit confused after reading through this thread. Should I go through the un-root process first or should I just download the OTA now?

Will I lose root or not? Can someone quickly explain the process I should go through with my situation (rooted through odin with stock rom)? Thank you in advance for any and all help! I just want to be confident that this won't break my phone >_<
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ingenious247:
Do you have a custom recovery such as CWM installed? If not, then just use OTA Root Keeper from the Market, Backup root, allow the OTA. When it's done, use OTA Root Keeper to restore root, and then I would suggest a factory reset to avoid any problems with bugs. Make sure after you do the factory reset that you reinstall busybox
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Kilroy672:
What is the main purpose of the OTA Root Keeper? I would like to try it when Jelly Bean offically hits T-Mobile. Then unroot and update to 4.1.1. Don't really want to try it unless I know it won't brick my phone or I know I will get back my root. It does have alot 5 star reviews on Google Play.
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] Balut20:
Hi. Thanks for the response. Yes, I do have CWM installed. I followed the root guide using Odin which ended with installing CWM. You only mentioned how to go about it if I didn't have CWM, can you please explain the CWM method? (I already have a backup from right after I rooted as well)

I would just like to be safe and certain because I don't want to brick my phone. With all these Galaxy S3 brick stories, I'm very hesitant on doing anything on this phone just yet - it was much simpler on my old MyTouch4g >_<. Thank you for your time and help!
[T-Mobile, Samsung Galaxy SIII] ingenious247:
If you want the actual OTA, which is what I stick with, then you have to flash stock recovery first in Odin. Then proceed as previously stated.

Whenever i am charging my PHOTON and i receive a call as i plug out my charger and try to pick the call it reboots ...has happened a lot of times.

has any one faced this problem?

Thanks
[Motorola Photon 4G] yairku:
Faced a problem like that, but it hasn't happened to me for some weeks. It happened to me with cm9. Sliding to receive calls just didn't work sometimes, and the only option that worked was rejecting them. I remember that one time or two it even rebooted when I tried to answer. But now it doesn't happen to me. If you have a custom ROM, first of all make a backup and make sure it has no problem. Now, try to wipe data and cache and format system from the recovery, and then flash the newest version of the ROM again, if it doesn't require flashing on a previous specific build. But if it's not a custom ROM, I don't know what to do.

When you format system, careful not to format SDcard! Once I had wanted to format the System but I was distracted so I chose format SDcard. That was awful! I couldn't stop it!

Have a nice day!

My 2 cents

Keep your unlocked bootloader and if you're after a stock ics Rom, go and download android revolution hd or one of tpbklake's rooted stock roms

they will give you the exact same experience without having to worry about the ota and re rooting if you don't like it

Do you have a custom recovery installed?

[HTC Incredible S] tpbklake:
There 2 things that are preventing the OTA from installing on your phone. One is that you need to remove ClockworkMod and replace it with the standard HTC recovery. The second thing is once you have removed CWM, then you need to relock your bootloader.

Once you get the OTA installed, you should be able to use the same unlock_token.bin to unlock your bootloader.
[HTC Incredible S] dushyantp:
Can you please guide me thru how to do that...

My touch screen has got spoilt and need to give it to srvice centre for repair
[HTC Incredible S] Surajkumar:
flash the stock recovery in fastbooot.

boot into bootloader then select fastboot

connect usb cable. once you see FASTBOOT USB

type

fastboot oem lock

then it will lock your bootloader. install OTA and unlock your bootloader(if you want) the same way you did before.

sony xav601-bt firmware upgrade

I have the same problem - I installed a xav601-bt in my car wanting to use mirror link. Google maps is so much better than the $2000 nav unit in our brand new Honda Odyssey ... but I digress. I saw that Sony-asia has released a firmware update for the unit. Took my chances and installed it (NOTE THIS: had to take off the faceplate and press reset to get it out of the reboot loop) installed fine but neither the "mirror link" nor "telenav" app work. Properly. USB device not recognized. I understand I need an app for the phone. Mirror link or drive link. This will be perfect if they get it to work - I want my Google nav to display on my head unit. Controlling it would be bonus. C'mon Samsung, get it going!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cell128:
One nice thing I did find though if you pair your phone with bluetooth then click on Bluetooth settings for sony automotive you can enable not only calls but audio and that way you can still listen to everything that goes on in your phone such as spoken turn by turn navigation, music, YouTube, Netflix,etc. Still can't wait for official rollout though. I wonder how they will get around the "USB device not supported" error message when plugging in via USB

Sorry, but if there is no solution to run a modified vlc on the Sony, the members of the "consortium" will tell us wich device is accepted and wich app will run.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Olywa123:
Developers here have been making possible that which the manufacturers and consortiums didn’t ‘approve’ for years :)

I can currently run Youtube, Lastfm, and do full-screen internet browsing on the XAV-601BT head unit using the method in my post #175 of this thread (the ‘consortium’ didn’t approve that). I can also play videos while driving if I chose to (the ‘consortium’ didn’t approve that either). Everything is possible, just a case of figuring out how.

Once ‘drive link’ is running all other phone display/audio/key-inputs are being mirrored to the headunit so convincing Drive Link that it’s running or stopping it from staying in the foreground without actually closing it would work.

I'm sure cell will add you to the first post if you want to add something to help grow the bounty ;)

walkeryan has the sony headunit and so is as keen on this working as the rest of us, I think we need to give him more time on this as he has put a lot of effort in as far as I can see.
