I deleted the shutter sound files and deleted/added font files in the system folders.

What steps should I take now?

What do you mean by Flash?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bohiti:
My wifi icon in status bar used to show activity arrows for upload and download. Now it's just plain gray all the time (though wifi works fine). Is this a new/moved setting, something that was removed, or am I crazy? I liked that feature.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] budde2:
Or you can hold menu and it will open right up :D
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] m20120:
I think you are ok with added files (maybe). If you renamed the shutter files with .bak renaming them back may solve the issue. If you need to replace the files (just for the update and remove them later) you can extract them from a fill copy of LI3 that you can download here.

Looking at the recovery log will tell you for sure which missing or modified file is causing the verification check to fail. What is happening is that the update is not a full rom. It is replacing some files and patching others. It will not run if it finds that the base that the update is to be applied to is not all there.

By "flash" I mean selecting "install zip from sdcard" in ClockworkMod Recovery.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Sleestax:
Worked great for me using CWM and team epic root from recovery. Whoever is saying yo have to remove root before running is talking out of a hole other than their mouth. What I did.

1. Downloaded .zip file in OP.

2. Moved the file to sdcard root folder.

3. Confirmed team epic root from recovery was still in sdcard root folder

4. Rebooted into CWM recovery.

5. Ran a backup.

6. installed .zip

7. Installed team epic root from recovery v5

8. Rebooted into Jellgbean goodness.

Thanks to the OP for the link to the .zip and l, as usual, the devs at CWM and team epic.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ubigred:
Ok I will download the file from above and extract the font and sound packages and place them back into the system folder. That should work correct? Or no?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] m20120:
Only one way to find out! If it fails after that be sure to save the recovery log to sdcard (usually an option to save the log somewhere in recovery). You can then read the log (look for the Status 7) to see what caused the error. In my case it listed the offending files that I had to fix.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ubigred:
Well this is the error I got earlier.

E:Error in /tmp/sideload/package.zip

(Status 7)

Installation aborted.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] vulcZ:
My status 7 error is being caused by "/system/etc/Volume.db"

Well damn, I have no clue what to do since I never modified anything LOL. I guess I'm gonna have to TiBak my apps and do a clean install :P
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] rukin1:
It keeps throwing me errors.. Oh well. doing it the fun way :D

thx btw
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] myn:
If you are stock rooted, here is the easiest way to upgrade your device with latest radios/modem and ROM while maintaining root. This assumes you are currently on LI3 and wish to upgrade to LJ7. If you have altered apk files on your device (example google search), push the original which came with LI3.

Download eec955eb4a5b.update_SPH-L710_LI3_to_LJ7.zip (Official LJ7 OTA Update)

Download TeamEpic-Root-from-Recovery-v5.zip

Copy eec955eb4a5b.update_SPH-L710_LI3_to_LJ7.zip and TeamEpic-Root-from-Recovery-v5.zip to sdcard or internal storage

Reboot into CWM recovery

Nandroid backup

Flash OTA Update (eec955eb4a5b.update_SPH-L710_LI3_to_LJ7.zip) (DO NOT REBOOT - Doing so will flash the stock recovery and you'll loose root)

Flash TeamEpic-Root-from-Recovery-v5.zip (this will rename the install-recovery.sh file that flashes stock recovery and root ROM)

Reboot into ROM
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] vulcZ:
I haven't altered anything, but still the file it's telling me it's having the error with ("/system/etc/Volume.db") isn't available in the LI3 OTA update. I'm downloading a LI3 FULL odex'd ROM to see if I can extract the file from there to replace the one currently on my device. Hopefully that fixes my issues :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ubigred:
did it work?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] vulcZ:
Nope, still didn't work. I also remembered that I had moved an APK into the system directory (fake GPS) so I removed it, tried again, and still nothing. Still hangs up in the same part of the install. I also re-downloaded the OTA (just in case I got a bad DL) and still nothing. I finally said screw it and did a clean install. Now I'm in the long process of restoring my apps and settings, lol -_-
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] mrbsb:
Anybody else getting Status 7 error? Its aborting the installation halfway thru. I'm stock rooted running LI3, reinstalled Stock Recovery, wiped cache, redownloaded the DL link, still nothing. Help anybody?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] baudac:
Yup worked like a charm.

Thanks for the zip
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] LexLuger82:
How do i use this if I'm not rooted?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] baudac:
Error means that you modified something and its not 100% stock. Read the description of the error, it should tell you. For example, I had the error and it stated that I was missing the swype apk
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Dooginater:
Anyone else notice the system slowing to a crawl with the play library widget?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] :
my status 7 error says /system/lib/libdivxdrm.so, i have combed through the lg8>li3 update.zip and i'm not seeing it. any ideas?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jericko:
I am getting the same error. Been working on it for hours. Tried to replace the file, delete it, full wipe and reinstall LI3 Stock then upgrade and I always get that error. Not sure what to do next.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] EggosEvo:
Has anyone had the issue of a frozen app not unfreezing? I actually never even froze the app, it's the SysScope apk. I posted a thread in the Q&A section, but got no response. If anyone could help with that, it would be great since that's probably what's stopping me from applying the update.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] pmoreau:
Yes! I'm having horrible battery drain! I can watch the power drop.

I have watchdog on the phone and it's showing 0 cpu off time.

Phone stays warm.

Hoping I don't have to do a factory reset. If I do, I hope it at least fixes the power problem.

anyone else getting the weird addslide icon behind their text messages???

if you are having this problem go settings in your text messagelist and youcan change the background.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] verb408:
After i updated to JB i get an issue with google wallet saying that i'm rooted, i sure i unrooted my phone and verified with root checker. However i still have the superuser app that i can't delete. I tried a factory reset and wiped the cache partition but still get an error with google wallet. Does anybody have any ideas?

---------- Post added at 01:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:23 AM ----------

I've heard Google Now is a good battery drain since it's always doing stuff in the background. Try turning it off to see if it makes a difference
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] adf8585:
Swype will not add spaces on browser any ideas? ?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tempests:
I suggest copying the rom to your internal memory
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Trident:
Flawless. Follow the QBKing video in the OP. I did on my still unrooted SIII and it went exactly as described.

Going to play with it for a few more days as stock and then root.

Thanks given.

---------- Post added at 09:43 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:41 AM ----------

The QBKing video specifically says copy the file to and EXTERNAL SD card, and NOT to use internal memory. Don't know why.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tempests:
My experiences with battery drain and excessive heat was when I upgraded the baseband/radio to LJ7. I then reflashed back to the leaked LI3, which was my very first flash. The battery drain and heat went away, But the strangest thing is my baseband/radio version stayed LJ7. Also, my info screen now has scrolling buttons at top like ICS was before. I am on the latest ROM as everything matches the leaked build.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Rajata:
Hello everyone. First time here. I switch Iphone to Samsung S3 so i'm new to android. Noob question, which folder should i save the rom with no external sd card? Can someone please give me the steps on what to do first? The phone is not rooted and already downloaded the zip file. Thanks in advance for any help. :highfive:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dtoep:
Thanks for JB ZIP!! !!

Works great! Fun stuff!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] baudac:
I'm experiencing the same
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ibcenu:
If not rooted, only way to apply the zip file in stock recovery is external.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] LexLuger82:
External?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] phinz54:
Same problem here. It really get annoying.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] tempests:
And how many have reported ending up with a corrupted microSD? I NEVER use external SD for flashing, unless I absolutely am forced to. I copy the roms to either root of internal memory or create a directory and copy there. Even OTA pushes are stored to and loaded from internal storage. But whatever works, works.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] bmoreboy02:
If i say thanks again more then once am i trolling? Lol
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] :
Only way I was able to flash the jb update was to odin back to len and accept the ota's up until LI3 then I booted into stock recovery and flashed the jb update. Sucked but it worked.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] m20120:
I have not noticed that. I am using the latest beta Swype. Are you using that or the ROM version?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] rjin9673:
I noticed some weird issues with apps after flashing with CWM. After using CWM to fix permissions, everything works great. I have noticed a lot more battery drain too.

Just downloaded thelatest Swype beta and it still doesn't work
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] ubigred:
Hmm my phone was working great last night. Now it constantly boots and shutsdown . Any ideas?

Only thing I did was freeze an app with Titanium Backup.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] EndlessDissent:
When you say "the browser", do you mean the address bar, or text fields inside Web pages? If you mean the address bar, then that's the intended behavior, so you can swype things like www.androidcentral.com or www.theverge.com without having to delete extra spaces every time you lift your finger between "android" and "central" or "the" and "verge", and so you don't have to revert back to typing instead of swyping.

If you mean text fields inside Web pages, then that's a problem unique to you.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] thunderbread:
I preordered the note 2 through Verizon today but it doesnt even ship until around November 27th but the Rep couldnt even tell me what the official release day was so Im thinking about switching from Verizon to AT&T. My first question is how is AT&T's service and 4G compared to Verizon in Orlando Florida. My second question is does/will AT&T offer any options to help get me out of the contract with Verizon to switch to them. Ive heard they'll pay your cancellation fee. And lastly does AT&T offer unlimited 4g data and what do those plans have.

Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S3 powered my JellyWiz RLS9 Note 2 Edition.

I live in TX so I can't help you with 4G answers. Will at&t pay a cancellation fee? No. Does at&t have unlimited data? No.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] kyan~:
I live in dfw are, at&t 4g lte here just destroys the competition.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Longcat14:
Too true. My friends Nexus on VZW, and moms S3 on Sprint have nothing on my S3 when it comes to LTE speeds.

He gets around 30-35 down, 5-10 up, his moms phone gets 15-25 down, 5-10 up (usually identical uploads on both networks).

My phone just blows them both away, with 50+ down (averaging 60 down at his house), and 15-20 up.

Although, that is just DFW, but I would assume its lke that in a lot of places that have good LTE signal from AT&T, but if your worried, take the 14 day test trial on AT&T, and see if you get good speeds and signal.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] votum:
ATT 4G speeds destroy verizon, but if you buy into verizons marketing, that having 4g in more locations is better (dont know many people who live in more than one city) then verizon is good.

I personally would use T-mo though, ATT is utter ****e for pricing. Coming from Europe to here its a shock how much we have to pay for cell service.

Wait, I will bring honeyx to your thread, maybe he can help you :)
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] honeyx:
The screenshoots are not made by me, but the guy who edited the app. He made the screenshoots on a different device with a different ROM, so on Arcos CM9 the colors appear a bit different as the app is framework dependent. Yours is looking nearly the same like on my phone with the current beta. Just on mine it appears a bit more blueish and yellowish now and I like it that way, so nothing to worry about.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] natsu93:
owh..thx for applied..now i have one prblem..why there is no sound when i received a message and it also not appear at the notification??

i have tick at the setting to show the received message at notification ... do you know how to fix it??
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] honeyx:
Go to apps and delete data for the MMS app. Relaunch the SMS/MMS app and reconfigure the settings. That should fix it.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] natsu93:
how to relaunch the sms/mms app and reconfigure the settings??

sorry for the noob question , i'm still newbie in root the phone and in this forum...heheheee..:D
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] honeyx:
Simply open the SMS/MMS app like to write a message and go to settings to reconfigure them.
[Samsung Galaxy W I8150] honeyx:
Not sure what is shown for you as messaging. For me it shows the blue SMS/MMS icon of this app and next to it there stands "SMS/MMS". So if it has the blue icon of this app, then yes, else it´s not the app you are looking for.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slaphead20:
well without sounding flippant, getting it repaired is the only option.....you can separate the glass from the digitizer but it is tricky and may end up breaking digitizer, so unless you choose that option you either need to buy a complete unit and replaced it yourself or start getting quotes to have it done

It's so funny how every time we get a new phone, the accessories subforum explodes.

Nothing in the DEV Section. LoL.

We're all so antsy to do something with our new phones we don't know what to do with ourselves. LoL

Ok back to business.

i found a couple of these that I personally like and would purchase.

#1

TUP Bumper Case only. Provides maximum protection in the Minimalist category

#2

Slim Slim book-cover case.

The brilliant thing about this case is that it replaces your battery cover. So it is not an additional cover on top of your phone. Look closely, it's a BATTERY DOOR replacement with a wrap-around cover to dress up the front. Excellent design!

#3 Magnetic Book-Cover Case. [/u]

Ok, this one DOES cover the entire back of the phone. It will be the bulkiest of the bunch here. It's gota magnetic clasp to keep the case cover closed on top of the phone. Looks nice.

#4

ALUMINUM BUMPER

Looks solid.

I'm likely going to purchase the TPU bumper myself because it's a good compromise between minimalism and protection.

What we're really worried about (at least I am) is the bezel getting trashed, or the screen cracking because there wasn't a ledge (or lip) on the front side to absorb the fall.

So, I like the TPU bumper.

Anyway. I thought I would share. Congrats on all new TMO T889 Note 2 owners.

Day 3 with the phone beginning Friday.

It'll be one hell of a switch from my S2.

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] spotopolis:
Are there any cases, or just battery cover replacements that add a kickstand? I dont want a flip case or any extra thickness. Just a replacement back with a kickstand. I saw a TPU kickstand for the OG Note, but note the Note II. I love the kickstand on my EVO 4G and dont want to go without one. I saw the Flygrip and I think it looks terrible and you cant set your phone flat on a table with that. Something like this would be perfect.

I just received that case and it seems fine for my needs. The phone is big enough that I don't need excessive extra bulk :) Has a little bit of a textured finish where you would have your hands, so it certainly feels way more secure vs. no case!

Is this what you guys are looking for?

Fosmon HYBO SK Hybrid Kickstand[Amazon]

---------- Post added at 03:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:42 PM ----------

So sad that not a single Brick and Mortar store has anything for the phone.

T-Mobile has nothing for the T-MO version, and they don't even know when they'll get anything. They didn't even have the white Note 2...

I just need a simple case to make by until anything worthwhile appears...

I ordered the TPU hybrid with kickstand (link above) from Amazon, but estimated delivery is next Friday...

Has anybody found anything for the Note II at any retailer in the US?

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] giftedgiggsy11:
Ok basically I used to use Omega v29 with Siyah Kernel as I was impatient for JB on my unbranded phone, and I’d heard good things about Omega.

Then I9300XXDLJ4 leaked and I decided to return to stock, so I did the following steps…

Mega wiped via recovery (twice just to be sure)

Wiped Dalvik/factory reset/cache

Flashed LJ4 via Odin

Wiped again after flashing

Then I noticed my CSC was set to ‘KOR’ so I downloaded an app from the play store to change it back to ‘BTU’, connected to Kies and it found the phone just fine.

Then I rooted my phone using CF-Root 6.4

Flashed Extended power menu for LJ4

It then gave an error message when I connected the device to Kies, it wouldn’t even let me access the phone via Kies let alone check for software updates. Sorry I don’t have the error message to hand but it gave me the option to report the error and it seemed to say that it wasn’t able to verify the device name contained in the Kies folder on my HD (i.e XXDLJ4 etc)

I have uninstalled and reinstalled Kies and it still gave the same error.

I then downloaded Triangle away and rest my counter, after doing a further factory reset/format and when I connected my phone to Kies it connected just fine and said i had the latest firmware. However this morning when I connected to Kies (after freezing/disabling apps in TB, installing Busybox and turning Traingle away off from start up using All In One toolbox) it gave me the same error message.

Not sure what else to try, my phone wont even connect to Kies (to backup contacts etc) and I know there are other methods I can use to backup/update but I’d prefer Kies still to work as I know it has worked previously, any ideas at all on what I can do get it to work again? I've searched high and low for a solution but most of the replies seem to suggest doing things i've already tried. :eek:

I know there is that feature on the phone but i have ive had it turned off for as long as i can remember as i did all my backing up via Kies & TB.

If i can't get Kies to work though then i may have to go down this route, does it completely restore contacts with pictures etc when you back them up?
