Just to also add. I updated this morning and had the same problem as someone else had with SMS messages. I could not send/receive unless i was in a call. Called ATT and they re-registered it and i'm good to go. I don't really notice any other problems with the update than that.

I looked through this thread and elsewhere in xda but didn't see this anywhere.... Hope I didn't overlook it.

Anyone else see that their WiFi is constantly scanning for new connection?? Mine scans every 3 or 4 seconds, didn't do this before update. Def no gonna aee improvement in batt life with this going on. I turned off auto connect to att hot spots.... This is what I'm seeing....
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] vermsky:
I had the same problem. Just connect your phone to wifi then go to settings-> about-> software update.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Artimus009:
That is normal...if you go into WiFi, even though you are connected to WiFi, it thinks you want to search.

is there a way to root this update
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] drothenberger:
If you're already rooted, you can apply the update and retain root. Otherwise, I'm pretty sure the toolkit can do it by using Odin to flash a custom recovery and then using a .zip file to apply root. That will trip the flash counter, but once you're rooted you can use Triangle Away to clear it.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] flaystus:
Can someone confirm this is right? Because I'm sick of it asking.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] drothenberger:
Confirm which part, that there is a way to apply the update while retaining root or that the toolkit can root LH9?

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sicmadek:
its normal. back when i used to flash roms on my captivate and gs2 they would increase the wifi scan interval to save battery. i wonder why they dont do that for gs3 roms.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] flaystus:
The retaining root part.

But you said "there is a way" so is there something special you have to do?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] thecapitalr:
im pretty sure the reason this isnt working for me is because i deleted some of the att bloatware using titanium backup, not realizing that doing this would prevent ota update (noob mistake). Is the only way to get this back by doing a factory reset? I didnt save it anywhere.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] drothenberger:
There are a few threads around with instructions. I recommend mine :). You might also want to check out this one by gunnyman.

---------- Post added at 05:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:55 PM ----------

The easiest thing to do is to use Odin to flash a root-injected LG1 image. Once you've done that, you can either

install a custom recovery and flash the OTA zip in this thread

or follow the instructions in this thread by gunnyman to apply the OTA using the stock recovery

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] drothenberger:
Try different USB ports on your computer. Also try different USB cables, especially the one you got with your phone if you're not already using it.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] javieromarg:
i have flash with this same cable before and same port.

but i change for othe cable i have to flash and other port and get the same error
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] drothenberger:
I'm sorry you're having trouble. It sounds frustrating. I've personally never experienced a problem with Odin, but the advice I've seen to people experiencing the problem you're having is to try different cables and different ports. If that doesn't work, try reinstalling your Samsung drivers and rebooting your machine. If none of that works, try a different computer. :)

You didn't mention how functional your phone is right now, but if it's working and rooted, you might also want to look at the Mobile Odin app in Google Play.

Good luck!

Anyway to root the new update? I bought it already updated. I am trying to do so without odining
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] drothenberger:
I don't know of a way to do it without Odin. The toolkit has a number of options, but they all require Odin.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] flaystus:
Thanks, so many threads and after a while looking at the word "update" becomes like trying to find grains of sand.

Sadly I won't be able to until after my vacation but its all bookmarked for then.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] aackthpt:
No love

Mine throws the popping on audio over bluetooth (clean on headphone jack or speaker). This update did NOT fix it, it's about the same as it was before. So I'm still left debating over whether to try to badger ATT into replacing it (post 30 days), or to try to get a warranty claim through.

It has, however, significantly improved battery life. :good:

So far, it's bone stock; no root, no mods. :angel:

What I would do is use the toolkit and go back to all stock, then update and then use the toolkit again to root. Thats what I did and im on the new update and rooted.

I just did the OTA yesterday, and am having the same issue. Until this OTA, I was praising how amazing the stock keyboard was. It knew what I was trying to type and seemed to be very forgiving, and just overall awesome.

Now, after OTA, the stock keyboard is among the worst I have ever tried! Autocorrect doesn't do anything, it asks me if I want to input this word as an autocorrect word, except there's no word! It just asks me if I want to add the nothing I have typed! If I begin typing, the asking goes away.

wtf. Anyone else??
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] accrews2001:
I started getting "Unfortunately, Samsung keyboard has stopped" error messages after the OTA. The message causes my phone to freeze up for a bit, then I click ok, and it comes back a few sec later. I have to restart my phone to get it working again. Anyone else have this problem and find a fix?

I ended up downloading Swype beta, which I like better in every way but the voice to text, but it would be nice to know what the real fix is.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] iosandroid:
I have not seen anyone complain about this other than myself. Before the latest OTA update, the stock Samsung would add every single misspelled word into the user dictionary by pressing space. Now it asks if you want to add it, like you said, but yeah it seems the autocorrect doesn't correct anything any more.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] proud a-clown:

I dont understand this. Just updated my phone using USB Kies. Kies found the update right away and installed it.

Now I am updated to UCLG1..... I am on AT&T.

I've connected the phone to Kies a few more times and it says that my software is up to date. What gives?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] drothenberger:
The latest OTA is LH9 not LG1. Kies is lying to you.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Grant H:

Any ideas on how one would fix this?

I've done multiple resets to the computer/phone and it keeps telling me that I am up to date.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] dnorthington:
Since it was an OTA update, IF it is available in KIES, they'll have to incorporate it into an entire ROM. you have to do it OTA or use one of the methods described in the forums. Just go to Settings and check for the update. You have to be on WiFi to download I believe and maybe above 50% battery to install.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Grant H:
And that brings me to why I'm trying to get this update using Kies on a 6 year old Windows XP Tablet PC.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] drothenberger:
I'm not sure exactly what you mean here, but if you mean that the stock recovery comes back when you reboot, even if you install a custom recovery, then that has nothing to do with the bootloader. It's an init script that does it and it was also part of the LG1 OTA. It's quite easy to remove.

I'm on LH9 and I'm not vulnerable, so I think yes.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] stan.s:

Yes, there's been a lot of confusion, Samsung is saying they couldn't replicate it on current firmware... but now, it's apparently something in the Android dialer itself not TouchWiz and has appeared on HTC phones as well.

hey guys i'm having a bit of trouble applying this update. every time i try to install it comes back with "assert failed: apply_patch_check("/system/app/AccuWeatherDaemon.apk) and it's a Status 7...any advice is appreciated
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Sir_Brizz:
It's both. It has to do with links in web pages that open the dialer (in these cases a forked Android dialer). However, this was a known issue for at least a month. On LH9, the link doesn't work.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] drothenberger:
This means AccuWeatherDaemon.apk is either missing or modified. Are you on stock LG1? Did you debloat or remove anything?

Yes, i'm running custom rom/kernel which i now realize is the reason for the error....no matter though, i think i'm going to wait until there's a CWM compatible version since i'm too lazy to flash stock rom/kernel just to install this update. thanks for the reply anyway!

Hello everyone! I've been reading through this thread and i've tried quite a few things recommended here and i haven't been able to get anything to work to allow me to apply the recent OTA update.

My SGH-I747 (AT&T) is currently on build version: IMM76D.I747UCALG1 . I've tried updating it through the phone (about device -> software update) and i receive the error message that the communication failed. I've tried updating my phone through KIES and it tells me that my phone has the most current version of the software. I've downloaded the zip on on of the earlier pages of this thread, renamed it update.zip and tried to apply that but i received an error in the update process. I've tried following the instructions that had me download I747UGLH9_OTA.zip and that failed with the following error:

asser failed: getprop("ro.product.device") =="d2att" II getprop("ro.build.product") =="d2att"

E:Error in /sdcard/I747UGLH9_OTA.zip

(status 7).

I've tried doing this after a full device wipe, i've tried this rooted and i've tried everything un-rooted. Its all failing. I've called AT&T about this and theyve told me that they'll replace/repair my phone but i'd have to send it in. I've only had the phone for little over a month now, and being without a phone is not a possibility because i need it for work/be available to a sick family member if he needs me.

I'm at a complete loss and could use some help! I read through everything in this thread before posting, and if i missed the answer i am very sorry.

Anyway, Thanks in advance for any help you guys can give me!

*edit* i should also note that i have tried the method of restoring, not entering any google credentials and immediately checking for update.

I just tried using I747UGLH9_OTA.zip again and got:

e:failed to verify whole-file signature

e:signature verification failed

Installation aborted

edit edit: I tried using the file i named to update.zip from earlier in this thread and it appears this time it worked. I had to do ANOTHER full re-store through kies back to G1 for it to work. But i am not running build version h9! Thanks for all the incredibly valuable information in this post!

Successful Update with Root

This is not a "clean" method, but it worked for me.

Running stock root I747UCALH7, I accepted the OTA update to I747UCALH9.

Phone became unrooted.

Re-rooted with Odin using the rooted stock I747UCALH7 image. Upon reboot, I'm getting multiple errors:

android.process.acore has stopped

Problem loading widget (lock screen)

TouchWiz Home has stopped

Installed OTA Rootkeeper and backed up the root.

Downloaded the update, renamed the file to "update.zip" and copied onto my external SD card

Rebooted into Android system recovery (3e) using Vol Up + Home + Power keys

Selected apply update from external storage

It seemed to lose the WiFi logins, got stuck trying to sign in to Google. Restarted.

Opened Internet and re-entered WiFI access credentials.

Started Google Play and re-entered Play account credentials.

Downloaded OTA Rootkeeper and it found a root backup.

Restored backup.

Downloaded Rootchecker and it shows root access.

Re-downloaded all apps from Google Play and re-installed.

This is not a process at all. You kept trying until something stuck :D
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] torrmundi:
No argument there! I was learning by doing. Nonetheless, it's useful to know:

- upgrading lost root access (others noted this earlier)

- downgrading from H9 to H7 gives operational errors (others noted this earlier)

- OTA Rootkeeper preserved the root through the update to H9

A better set of steps would be to root with H7, backup root, upgrade to H9, restore root.
