Doesn't that message occur if you try to write a ROM without having actually unlocked your bootloader?

- ooofest
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Fireplug:
Was able to restore root after the stealth update with Voodoo OTA rootkeeper 2.0.3

Just fyi
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] armst433:
No I had the ROM on for two days. It was rooted and unlocked of course. I did a search on Google and there was a lot of people with this problem.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Roland_D:
I tried to perform the update and it failed.... i m rooted unlocked...

I also tried to temp unroot with voodoo... nothing... what am i doing wrong?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] armst433:
I use EZ unlock and I made sure I had my phone locked because the update (may) need to try and unlock the phone first. I am not sure but that is what I did.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mdt73:
Not locked out at all. Rooted and unlocked, manually received the OTA update (was getting horrific amounts of the NO SIM error near my home). Zero issues.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] JermsMalibu:
I just had the update pushed to my phone. I saw my screen flicker and so I looked at it and it was already updating. I don't like them pushing it to my phone without my permission. On my Incredible, I had the option to install the update or not. <scolding tone> Bad Verizon.

Anywho, I guess we'll see of it changes anything about the way I use my phone. Although I think I'll root now. I didn't see a need at this stage on this phone yet, but with them pulling these types of stunts, I might as well so they can't control my phone anymore.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] equisbox:
I hate verizon wireless. They are greedy..yet ive been with em since my first cell phone lol. I had an incredible with unlimited and i love htc. I wanted a htc but they didnt have any attractive htc options. To be honest i would have gotten a htc one x if they had it over the sg3. I hate samsung because im not a big fan of their UI...and after using the samsung rogue for a year i told myself i would never get another sammy. I got kicked off unlimited data with the upgrade to sg3 but whatever. But SG3 rocks and i convinced myself to get it because i was gonna root anyway..

Anyway..This update is kind of pointless. I want the brightness slider like the other carriers have..verizon could have atleast thrown that in. Im kind of stuck because i dont know if i should just root my phone or should i just dl this update. I dont want that unrecognized software message
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Shibby87:
If you use Adams casual method or earlier versions of ez-unlock (1.1 or 1.2), you won't get the unrecognized software warning. You could also forget about the update, root and unlock, then just flash the new modem. The new OTA only addresses sim errors and adds more bloat you'll never use.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Jerry Mitchell:
After update S voice is great

I don't know if it had anything to do with the update or not, but my Svoice works great now. Before I was trying to find a way to uninstall it. It wouldn't work with my Jabra blue tooth car kit and was generally a waste. Now it performs as advertised and I use it all the time.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ooofest:
Hope you don't mind if I ask, but did you previously have problems such as S-Voice not closing a spoken command and sitting idle if the phone was in the lockscreen? At least before the OTA, I could only use my Bluetooth earset and get S-Voice to actually acknowledge it recognized my command if the lockscreen was not on - if it was on, S-Voice just sat on my command attempt until timing out.

From what you just offered, I'll go get my earset and try this scenario again - maybe it's improved.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ripken204:
so this update was useless... doesn't fix the NO SIM issue at all.

going back to stock and factory resetting doesn't fix it either.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Jerry Mitchell:
Yes I had all of those issues and more. The app was useless as far as I was concerned. I would urge you to give it another try.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ooofest:
Thanks for the advice, unfortunately my symptoms remain the same.

I think it's time for me to finally call Verizon and Samsung to register a problem report.

- ooofest
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] schwinn8:
I thought I bypassed the update when I backed out of the popup, but it ended up applying overnight anyway. Idiots. But I am happy to hear that my future intent to root/rom is not broken yet. I plan to root and install recovery this weekend to prevent future forced updates.

That being said, at work, my phone has MUCH better signal even in my office. I used to get 1 bar and would lose 4g all the time. Now I have 4-5 bars and am on 4g all day. I wish I had written down the actual signal levels before, as I wonder if the bar thresholds were changed, but even still I can say that web performance is better, so there must have been some signal improvement. Wilmington, MA btw.

A good update for me at least.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Quacker:
I didn't know this update existed, so I'm assuming it updated while I was sleeping or something. Is there any way to verify that this is the case?

Edit: My build number is IMM76D.I535VRALG1, so I haven't received the update. Apparently it's not being pushed to my phone, but I guess that's a good thing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] coltonwood:
So i received the OTA update (VRLG7) and i am wanting to root. i have not rooted my s3 yet at all and i am wanting to use CASUAL on my macbook pro. i start up CASUAL, plug in my phone (with usb debugging and unknown sources allowed), and it says device is connected and i start the process. it reboots my phone and says to click OK when i am back at my lockscreen and fully rebooted. i wait to make sure and click OK and it says that it is starting daemon but then it says my device is disconnected and the progress bar stays in the same place after 10 minutes... do i wait it out or am i doing something wrong?

on a side note, i have a windows pc if that it easier to root and unlock with?

Thanks!

Update: tried 3 or 4 more times and it worked?? odd...but i am another confirmation that rooting the new OTA works!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] clashie:
I guess this update decided to install for me while I was sleeping. It broke root and seemingly the unlocked bootloader, but I got root back with the debugFS method in just a few minutes with no problem. Confirmed it's working as expected.

EZ-Unlock still thinks the bootloader is unlocked though. I'm guessing it really isn't since the SAMSUNG logo isn't a quick blip like it used to be after the unlock. What should I do here? Hit lock then unlock again? The new update of EZ-Unlock supposedly takes a step to prevent it thinking you're still unlocked when you're really not, but that version is also apparently borked. Maybe I should just wait for the next update of it when everything is 100% working again.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] xsteven77x:
Or just use the older working version of ez unlock.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] clashie:
I am using it, I have 1.2, it reports it as unlocked but it's wrong. I'm wondering if it's safe to just hit lock and then try to unlock it again or if I should just err on the side of caution and just wait for an updated version that reports it properly after an update like this.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] TeeX2.0:
yeah, you can lock it, then unlock it again. I've done it several times :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] steve61866:
I accepted the update on my stock phone. Ever since the update I have multiple apps that close and my screen will go black for a second at various times. I downloaded the stock image from the Samsung site. Will I loose my apps and data if I flash back to the original rom? I looked through other threads and couldn't find a verified answer, Thanks in advance!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] That Baker Guy:
okay im stock rooted, unlocked. with a few modifications, wifi toggle, wifi notification gone. what do i need to do to update, successfully. replies are mixed in this thread.

EDIT :: i've tried everything, downloading that .zip that was linked on page three failed, as well as downloading the update on my phone from verizon...

ive tried unlocking and locking the bootloader, failed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Joey22688:
The black screen and closing is caused by a certain app that is used for piracy. The affected apps need to be repatched by the piracy app to work again
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] steve61866:
I haven't downloaded any piracy apps. Unless one was bundled into a game. Everything I have is from the market and most are games. Any idea on a name to look for?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] mdt73:
I updated and had a few apps stop working. Uninstalling them and reinstalling fixed my issues. (ebay app for example) Everything seems to be working for me so far.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] SeattleJimmy:
yes ...

you can FSRoot and EZ unlock using either version 1.2 or 1.4.

The app doesnt report the phone state correctly anymore but it still works.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] GreenMunky:
Okay, I'm rooted with a custom recovery and was able to freeze the notification in Titanium, but my wife's is not rooted and she's getting the notification now. If she lets the update go through will it factory reset her phone? Or will the update simply apply and leave her apps and settings alone? I haven't seen anyone complain of this but just would like to be able to reassure her that she won't have to set everything back up.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] pettigrew95:
What's the name of the app you're freezing in Titanium? I'm not doing the update my phone works phone and is rooted/unlocked so I'm not going to fix what isn't broken. Thanks.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] GreenMunky:
It's called SDM, it has a green square icon with a generic smartphone silhouette in the middle. Freeze that... no more notification :D

Anyone have an answer to my earlier question?

If you don't like the black and white theme then install this to get some color.

This is an update.zip . To install you need to have rooted and installed a recovery.

[Miscellaneous Android Development] bpushpak:
Very nice looking and colourful.Totally different from the original B&W one. :)

After the change, are you seeing any slowness and high battery drain? The battery drain is almost 3 times of what it used to be and phone has slowed down a lot :(
[Miscellaneous Android Development] saiz136:
The theme has no effect with the battery drain. Well some of it because the stock theme consist only black and white colors, and the LCD of the device may eat some power since it's already colored. But that won't cause too much battery drain. :rolleyes:

Found the cause of it when I saw all the apps are being pushed as part of the theme..just ran zipalign...and now fast as before & battery drain almost normal...

Testing for few more days...
[Miscellaneous Android Development] MiguelPereira:
How can we run "zipalign"? is there any app for that? I thought it would require some sort of custom kernel...

Are there any directions on how to do it?

I'm on ICS (V20D) and rooted.

Thanks!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bpushpak:
You can use the darky's zipalign script. You will need something like Root Explorer to copy the module to chin & drop the script to init.d.

Have you enabled unit.d support? Zipalign can work only during restart of phone.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] MiguelPereira:
Hi!

I haven't enabled unit.d support... How can I do it?

Where can I download darky's zipalign script?

Do I need BusyBox?

Thanks!
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bpushpak:
Use this link to enable unit.d support. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1933849

Unless you have root none of these will work

Busybox is installed if you have followed the rooting instruments correctly.

I can send you the zipalign stuffs.
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bpushpak:
Did you got init.d support working for you? I will have access to my pc & zipalign scripts from tomorrow. So if everything is ok, I can send them to you
[Miscellaneous Android Development] MiguelPereira:
All set up and ready do go!

Hi!

I installed the Universal Init.d Support app.

Ran it, pressed Activate and it was successful as well with the Verify option giving positive answer.

So I guess I'm all set up to have the zipalign scripts.

Do I need to install Busybox separately as well? Will this one do? And which version should I install?

After running Busybox it tells me that more than one copy of Busybox was found... so I decided to leave it as it is... But any opinion from you is appreciated!

Can you please send the scripts to me?

Thanks!

:fingers-crossed:
[Miscellaneous Android Development] bpushpak:
Congrats...You are good to go. If busybox was not there, the universal init.d would not have worked. Don't install the busybox from market (I made a real mess of my phone while doing that)

The attachment has the script and module. Copy the module to the xbin folder and S70zipalign file ton the init.d. Restart the phone. It will take some time to start up

Check under the /data and should see zipalign db and log...Success

Once done, I suggest renaming the script with RE to add an extension(I made it S70zipalign.bak) as this need not run everytime I restart my phone. I suggest running again only if upgrade or install any new apps and delete the db file to force a zipalign (remember to change the S70zipalign file back to what it was when running it again)

P.S. I have not added the original flashable zip as that contains additional modules which may cause problem with Prada

P.S. All credit for this great script belongs to Darky and those geniuses of XDA who made modified this to make usable on any ROM
[Miscellaneous Android Development] MiguelPereira:
Thank you SO much!!!

All done and running at first try! Thanks again!

I use my nexus mounted in my car and always connected to the car charger. Is there a way or app that will automatically switch the phone on off like airplane mode and standby mode when the power to the charger/car is on? I am looking for a way to do this without having to manually power the phone on/off and keeping the battery from going dead while not in use.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Herman76:
Tasker can do that I believe.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] joshuajones:
NFC tag! Or tasker context (orientation + USB power), but you might accidentally trigger it when you don't want to.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alanPr:
I have researched this problem extensively, but unsuccessfully, on the XDA forums and the web.

On my feature phones from 7-8 years ago and on my Windows smart phones from 3-4 years ago I had the stock option to use bold and italics in SMS. T-Mobile supported them from the beginning (at least from 2004 when I started with them). In Android (Gingerbread ROMs) stock messaging application there is no way (I could find) to bold or italicize some of the words.

I tried Chomp and Go SMS Pro, but the formatting feature they have are for displaying the text on the phone, NOT for formatting some words of the outgoing SMS text.

I have just noticed that the stock e-mail application and the MMS messaging are NOT capable of formatting text with bold and italics either.

Is there any way in Gingerbread, or is there any 3rd party messaging application capable to do what a Samsung feature phone did by default?

Many thanks for any help!

[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Astu04:
Hi there,

Some weeks ago, after many months of low space problems, I did a factory reset instead of deleting app by app.

But after that, I started having some problems:

Home button doesn't returns to Home, but it still works for mousing off the screen when it's off

Recory is missing

I give apps root, but they don't turn root.

The home button ... well, I can survive without. The Recovery... I haven't used it since I installed it. But the root is very important, as I want to use many apps but I need root to use them.

So well, let's try another factory reset. But nothing changes. So... let's change the ROM. But hey! I need recovery for that...

I haved tried many times to root or unroot the mobile, but it doesn't works. I have done it using many ways in Windows and Ubuntu, but nothing works.

Do you have any ideas about how can I fix this problems?
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] iamdchosen1:
Instead of tweaking your device by rooting it or unlocking it.. I suggest you to repair the phone's software by PCC or SEUS!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Dev Jaskirat:
To install recovery use xparts from playstore!

Or if your bl is unlocked then flash any kernel using fastboot! Every kernel with itself has an inbuilt recovery!
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Astu04:
I managed to access recovery. And I installed a ROM, hoping that it could repair easily all my problems, plus upgrading my phone at the same time. I installed this one http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1880321

I downloaded all the .zips I saw, and thinking that I could merge all them into a single one, I did. I though that this was the way to do it.

I did a backup of the phone, and erased cache, dalvik and did a factory reset. I installed the merged .zip, and after reboot:

The phone boots, the "Sony Ericsson" screen lasts for a few seconds, then I get a black screen for a few seconds, and the "Sony Ericsson" screen appears again, to dissapear, and keeps looping indefinitely.

I have been trying for a while, but I'm unable to boot the Recovery or even the Download mode. Maybe I don't know how? What I do:

Press power until it boots, wait until Sony Ericsson logo appears, start pressing Vol Down again and again <-- This worked for me earlier for accessing recovery before installing the zip

Hold power, home, and Vol Down (When doing this, after each 10 seconds (after the Sony Ericsson logo fades away, the mobile vibrates shortly, like when powering it off)

Hold power, home, and Back

Hold power and back

Hold and Vol up

Have I bricked it? How could I repair this for installed each zip one by one?

Guess that by now, I'll have to search my wristwatch.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] svprm:
To Enter Recovery:

You have to press back key again and again while booting(on Sony logo appears).

To Download mode:

Power off the phone.

Then plug the usb while pressing back key.

To Fastboot mode:

Power off the phone.

Then plug the usb while pressing menu key.

To Install a stock rom:

Download a Stock rom.

Then flash it via Flashtool.

or

Use PC Companion to repair.
[Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, Pro] Astu04:
This was the solution. I though that it was some ****ty software that wouldn't work properly, but I have to say that it's intuitive, and have repaired my phone without problems.

Thanks a lot. This have returned my phone to the state of after-buy, which is why I did the factory reset that made so much problems. Thanks!
