Ok so I am at a loss on how to update to the latest firmware. I download the file and update it. The update fails at 25%. I have dont this 5 times and all of the 5 times it has failed. I have stock recovery that is root injected (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1739426). I unrooted with voodo OTA rootkeeper and it still fails. How can I get past this? Is there a way to update via odin? If so how? Thanks for the help
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] psenseny:
I have the same problem - I captured the update file, renamed to update.zip and tried to flash via 3e recovery (i do not want CWM - yet), but I get a "assert failed apply_patch_check" for system/app/flipboard.apk......

I assume this is because I integrated app updates into the system/app and the md5 sum doesn't match.

Try the above - where do you fail?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] hunter99507:
I download the file , and while going through the update process it fails at 25%

In the /system/app/ directory I have both of these files:

GoogleQuickSearchBox.apk

GoogleQuickSearchBox_USA.apk

But only one app appears in the app drawer. If I install the first apk using root explorer, I have universal search. If I install the second apk, I lose universal search. So it appears that only one of the two can be installed at any given time. The widget uses whichever one was installed last.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] hunter99507:
So i finally gave up. The only way I could update was to flash a non rooted image and then do the OTA update. If you are interested in doing this ill post a youtube link below.

Your ATT software update does not work with a rooted phone. You can unrooted it temporarily with Voodoo OTA then your ATT software will work.

Your CWM version should be 6.0.1.2 and did you wipe your data, system format with CWM? CWM worked for me.

After the the update you will have UCALH9 in your Device Status. I like this update but Google Wallet is still no go.

I am having the same issue and have reflashed the stock recovery and still no luck. I am convinced this point that it is because I removed some of the bloatware. So I am just going to use kies to take it back to stock and start over.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Tlo218:
I am on 6.0.1.2. You booted to CWM, wiped system data, wiped cache partition, and then did the OTA update via wireless? Thank you.

hmm...

Here is my experience...

I rooted a while back using mrRobinson's No Tripping Flash Counter method here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1739426

and installed CW Recovery 6.0.1.2 the way he instructed in his thread.

Today, when I found out about the update, I downloaded and ran OTA RootKeeper, and started my update, through OTA (no update.zip for me, just regular run of the mill OTA)

The update went THROUGH CW Recovery. AT the end, it asked me if I wanted to protect root and also if I wanted the update to allow some changes (I don't remember exactly what it was now). I said yes to both.

When the phone came back on, I had the brightness slider, the Baseband reports UCLH9 and the build is UCALH9... I can see those new rectangles when cropping for background, etc...

but I got a failed update message.

oh, and I am STILL rooted... didn't have to run OTA RootKeeper again to reestablish root...

so... what's up?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] wiz4769:
Will have to give this a try
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Russ77:
Here's how I did it:

I downloaded the .zip file from Gunnyman

I made a nandroid backup (duh)

I made sure to have Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper installed and root backed up

I booted into CWM recovery from ROM Manager

I installed the .zip file, as with any other ROM

I selected to reboot after the installation was complete

A new option to decline flashing stock recovery appeared, I selected Yes to decline flashing stock recovery - This keeps CWM intact

A new option to restore root appeared, I selected yes to restore root - this keeps the phone rooted

After rebooting, all my settings, data, launcher, frozen or disabled apps, custom keyboard, were still intact and as they were prior to doing any of this.

couldn't have possibly been easier or smoother
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] garyd9:
I got kind of lost reading this - which .zip file did you install?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mobilehavoc:
Might be safer to wait for the full ROM to be posted so it's not a patch. I'm sure a rooted CWM zip will available shortly thereafter and you won't have to deal with all this crap.

The file gunnyman added a link to in this thread I believe. You have to rename the file, but its there for the taking.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Mordred69:
That's about how it went with me, except I ran the OTA right from the ATT Updater... didn't rename as zip, didn't load to SDCard, didn't manually run it, but the rest was the same... except I got the error that said the update was incomplete and I have an entry that says "continue setup" in the Software update section.

Just for future reference...there is an option to flash stock recovery in CWM?? Did i read that right? Just good to know if all one wanted to do was unroot and flash stock recovery to get back to stock easier.

[HTC One X] mzaza:
I have stock ROM installed and stock recovery and I want to keep that way.

So my questions is, is it possible to root my device while keeping everything stock and get OTA updates without problems.

The only thing I need rooting for is to use Market Enabler.
[HTC One X] omar_bazaraa:
You need to flash a custom recovery to root your phone but that won't enable your phone to get OTA udates (only notification), so when you get an update notification you have to reflash your stock recovery and unroot your phone to apply OTA updates.
[HTC One X] Slaxington:
If you wanted to unroot and so flash a stock recovery, how would you know which one to use? Is there a set recovery for each version of the phone, or is it the software version? So you'd just get the latest version you can find? For the phone of course. Thanks.
[HTC One X] bogfather:
Flash the stock recovery of the software version your on
[HTC One X] HebeGuess:
Read the portal news, http://www.xda-developers.com/android/root-many-ics-and-jelly-bean-android-devices/

A dev just release exploit based rooting method, you might wanna to try it since you wish to keep stock recovery.

However, you might loose root access after OTA as they always patch the root access back. Simply use some root keeper or method from above(if working) to gain back root access.

UPDATES: seems we have solid devices, LINK. You may try it, though.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] whitelightnin3006:
So i havent really been paying that much attention to LTE, since i live out where it is not available yet. But today, i am working in Atlanta, where i know there is LTE coverage from Sprint, and my phone never connects to LTE and it does not connect to 4g in alot of places where my Epic did. So i realized that in my mobile network options, I have an option for CDMA/4g, but I do not have an option for CDMA/LTE. I called Sprint and of course they want me to take it to a service and repair center, but my phone is rooted. I am afraid all they are going to say is me rooting the phone is why it is not working and that I should not have done that, and probably void my warranty. Does anyone else have this problem and know a fix for it? Please let me know if you do!

Thanks!
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] tetrabyt:
I was under the impression that it would automatically connect to LTE when it was available. I haven't seen/heard of a way to toggle LTE. you're wondering if something is wrong because you were not able to connect to LTE in an area which is supposed to have LTE? Are certain that LTE was available?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] whitelightnin3006:
It is my understanding that it does auto connect to LTE if you have it set to CDMA/LTE or Automatic. I am in an area where I know LTE is available because i checked the coverage map, and called to verify as well. Also, when connected to LTE, i thought i had heard that instead of saying 4g, there is actually a symbol that says LTE. I was also told by the Sprint rep, that my option should read CDMA/LTE instead of CDMA/4g.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] Rangerbry:
Pretty sure it says 4g when connected to lte. There is no wimax chip so lte is there 4g
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] whitelightnin3006:
That makes sense to me, because that would explain why I dont get 4g in some spots where I used to get it with my Epic. But, I still dont think it is correct, I am showing 4g right now and my speed is 5.5mb down. LTE should be higher than that shouldnt it? Also, that still doesnt explain why I would have the CDMA/4g option instead of having CDMA/LTE option.

Can anyone confirm on the Photon Q that when connected to LTE is shows an LTE icon, and that your option in mobile networks does say CDMA/LTE?
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] arrrghhh:
I would have to agree, I don't think there's anything in the Android framework to show "LTE" as a radio status... It should show 4g.

I say this, and I've never seen the phone connected to LTE/4G.

Also, OP - I'm sure this goes without saying, but you seem to think that because you had Wimax there before, you'll have LTE there now - that is certainly not going to be the case. In my area we have great Wimax service, but we're not even on the roadmap for LTE from Sprint...

So just because you had 4g on Sprint there before does not mean you'll automatically have 4g there! I hope their rollout is pretty aggressive, but obviously it's a heavy capital cost.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] swintec:
CDMA/4G is what you want it set to for LTE. Also, not all of Atlanta is lit up yet...maybe like 30-40%. If it exists where you are it will connect.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] whitelightnin3006:
The map that i am looking at on Sprint's website shows basically 100% of Atlanta, and much of the outskirts and suburbs as well having LTE coverage. It looks like most of about a 50 mile radius of Atlanta is lit up, but I only get coverage for a very small percentage of the area that their map is showing that supposedly gets LTE service. So either my phone is messed up, or they are full of sh**
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] fallnSaint:
My option in settings says cdma/4g.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] PythonFanTN:
The icon is 4g on the phone, I've seen at least one video review of the phone somewhere where it shows 4g on the screen. And the others are correct, 4g *is* LTE on this phone in terms of the network settings.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] zrmxp95:
I would look at this forum (on another website, www.s4gru.com), it shows all the current released markets and the percent complete. The Atlanta market is only 30% complete so you probably half to be in the right spot to get 4G and in the perfect spot to get over 10 mbps. But as the days (weeks, months etc) go on it will get better. I'm in Rochester NY and we are in the 3rd round for release which wont see any LTE until Summer 2013.....I think Sprint's completion plan of end of 2013 is not going to work out...but I am hoping that Sprint proves me wrong.
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] whitelightnin3006:
This seems to be more accurate than Sprints site. That is what pisses me off, you can go to their site and check coverage, and according to it, and their reps on the phone, LTE should be available now, all over Atlanta. That is obviously not the case though. Thanks for the link
[Motorola Photon Q 4G LTE] kcrudup:
Nope, it says "4G" both on the indication icon and on the Mobile Data connection options page.

Root Achieved

Solved the problem.

Followed the steps in the thread posted here

Steps:

Most of the commands are copy-paste from the thread just modified for this specific problem (I do not take credit for these steps).

Download View attachment 1338410 from this post (thanks to calisro)

Extract the contents to a folder.

Start a cmd window in that folder and logon to adb

In adb shell type

/system/usr/we-need-root/su-backup

(check the file availability in that folder and the file name and correct the command accordingly)

Confirm whether you have root. The adb shell prompt should be # not $, also can be confirmed by typing id and should echo something like this "uid=0(root) gid=0(root)"

Remount system as RW:

mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /system

Open a new CMD window and push the su binary from step 1 to the sdcard using the path from where ever you put it.

adb push c:\<some path>\su /sdcard/

Then copy it to /system/bin from the adb session where you got root.

cat /sdcard/su > /system/bin/su

Change permissions for SU

chmod 6755 /system/bin/su

Download superuser (NOT SUPERSU) from play store if you do not have it already.

Force superuser upgrade the su binary. It may fail to remount system as RO. Just rerun the update in superuser and it will work the 2nd time. You don't need to remount system as RO manually since superuser update of SU will do that for you.

congrats. your now re-rooted.

Think, this will solve the problem plaguing few people who could not restore root after latest OTA.
