Yes, that makes sense. I would do it, but it would require going back to a completely stock LG1 first (with no frozen apps, for example) and then applying the OTA. Seems like people on LH1 could just Odin back to LG1 and then apply the OTA.

I spent the day porting the 15 toggle mod to LH9 and don't feel like taking this on, but I may consider doing it tomorrow.

This means the custom recovery you're using isn't reporting that the phone is an AT&T phone. You probably installed the Team Epic recovery from here: http://www.epiccm.org/2012/06/cwm-recovery-on-all-sgs3-lte-variants.html.

I personally suggest doing one of the following:

Use TWRP: This is my personal favorite and what I used when I applied the zip. You can install it using the instructions in that thread or you can flash the attached zip file using your current recovery.

Install the latest CWM using Rom Manager.

Use one of the 5.8.4.5 CWM versions from here. These are older versions but they provide access to the internal and external SD cards. Later 5.8 versions did not. I'm not sure about the latest 6.0 versions, though.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] johnnyutah22:

Looks like you removed the ChatOn application or modified it somehow. Here's a link to the one from LG1: http://www.mediafire.com/?k1xj9q1kq65j5cb.

If you have more of these kinds of errors, you might want to consider just using Odin to flash the root-injected LG1.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] bigdog533:
Installed the APK still got the same message. Went to installed the root-injected LG1 and the download link is no good. If you have that zip I'll go the ODIN route to flash the update.

Can the mobile ODIN app work on this type of flash?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] drothenberger:
I'm surprised the ChatON.apk didn't work, unless you mean you got the same message about a different file?

I do have the LG1 root-injected zip but it's big and I don't have a place to host it. I'm currently working on making a flashable zip file with the whole LH9 /system image. When I'm done, you can flash that (plus the modem, kernel, and bootloader zips I've already put up) to get to LH9 from anywhere.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] drothenberger:
I added a zip with a complete LH9 system partition in the PIECES section of the OP.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mobilehavoc:
So can just flash this over LH1? Assuming it's safe to just overwrite and not have to wipe system. Also shouldn't break root that way either right?

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] drothenberger:
You can flash it over anything, including LH1. It will completely wipe /system and replace it with LH9, but will not wipe your /data. You will need to flash a kernel after you flash it, since it does not include the kernel modules. It will leave your modem and bootloader alone, too.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] drothenberger:
If you're stock everything, try I747UCALH9_OTA.zip first. If that doesn't work for some reason, then flash the following from the PIECES section in this order:

ROM

Kernel

Modem

Bootloader

Flash them all before you reboot.

Any reason this can't just be installed over existing install without having to wipe/format partition? I know it can lead to errors but just asking. Is it just the first line in the script that formats system? So if that's removed the file should flash and the everything will remain intact except what was overwritten by the zip right? Would avoid having to wipe mods like Wallet and Google Now since those would remain since we're not wiping system. Is that possible?

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] drothenberger:
You can try it if you want, but I wouldn't recommend it. Any mods that modified files that are part of the LH9 zip will not work right after application (because the modified file will be gone). The OTA actually removed some files, too. If you take the approach you mentioned, that will not happen. I don't know if that will cause problems.

I suppose I could put together an updater-script that doesn't do a format and deletes the files that were deleted by the OTA updater-script. But, I don't know if it will really work, I don't think it's terribly important (you can just reapply your mods), and I'm kinda burned out from working on this all day yesterday. It may not seem it, but putting together the full system zip took me a while, since I had to figure out how to set all the permissions correctly and create all the symlinks. I'm sure that's cake for an experience ROM maker, but I'm not that. :)

Thanks for your hard work. I'm just going to bite the bullet and flash the system zip and redo the mods. Appreciate your help!!

Any particular reason to update Bootloader to LH9? Downsides? Upsides? Figure I'll do it because can't think of a reason not too.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] drothenberger:
We have no visibility into what changed in the bootloader. I flashed it because it's in the OTA, but some people prefer not to because (a) it's a little risky since you can brick your phone if the flash fails and (b) people don't trust AT&T and are afraid the new bootloader will be locked in some way. I haven't had any problems with the new bootloader, though.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] mobilehavoc:
Crap dude, take down the full system zip right now. Just flashed it and it finished way too quickly. No errors but then I had an unbootable phone.

I tested this myself before I put it up by Odin'ing back to LG1 and then flashing it with TWRP 2.2.2.0.

[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] drothenberger:
If you have a nandroid backup from before you applied the Google Wallet mods, just restore /system from that. If you don't, you can either flash the root-injected LG1 image from here (see this post for a mirror in case the main download links are still down) and then apply the OTA zip, or you can flash the following from the PIECES section in this order:

ROM

Kernel

Modem

Bootloader

There was a report that the ROM zip is broken, so I've pulled it while I do some testing myself. I'll post back when it's restored.

Before you do anything, though, I suggest you make a nandroid backup, just in case something goes wrong.

This is the behavior of the stock system, delete or rename /system/etc/install-recovery.sh
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] drothenberger:
The OTA includes a script that restores the stock recovery on each boot. It's not in my OTA zip (I removed it), but if you applied the OTA using the file directly from AT&T, you have it.

To stop this from happening, remove these files:

/system/recovery-from-boot.p

/etc/install-recovery.sh
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] drothenberger:
I just used the one-click LH1 installer to go to LH1. I flashed CWM 5.8.4.5 (non-touch) and then used that to flash the following files in this order:

I don't think unlocking the phone would change build.prop. I've attached the one from LG1. You can try replacing yours with it and then applying the OTA. If that doesn't mean work, flash all the files from the PIECES section before rebooting. Make sure you flash the kernel after the ROM.

How did you install the ChatOn APK?

If you'd prefer, you can just flash the full ROM so you don't have to worry about going back to unmodified LG1. Just flash all the zips in the PIECES section. Make sure you flash them all before rebooting and flash the kernel after the ROM.

There's also a thread in the development section with the full ROM. It doesn't include the bootloader, kernel, or modem, but you can grab them from here if you want them.

I think I'll got the pieces route and see what happens.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] drothenberger:
I think I just posted the APK directly, so you'd have to replace the one in /system/app with a file manager and set the perms and ownership correctly. The pieces method should work fine though.
