Oneeee more. Do I put the .zip on the sd or the files individually? or does it not matter? I appreciate the help guys lol:highfive:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jcwxguy:
the whole zip. do not rename it, do not unzip it
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] dv8silencer:
Does the zip update and the recovery have a standard way of figuring out what the signature should be and then calculating and comparing? (like a hash to check integrity)? Or is it something I should be doing (if that is the case, what is the signature of the file?)

Thank you all.

If I do not do it this way, how long till I expect the official OTA pushed by the network? Or is it just a big guess (it took me like month+ to get the LI3 one unfortunately...)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jcwxguy:
recovery should automatically check it

unrooting vs installing ota update?

Kind of a noob at this unrooting thing, but wondering about some OTA and rooting items.

I've been rooted for a while with the stock rom, and done many of the OTA updates from L2 to L8, L8 to L13, by just installing the .zip update via cwm

However, I've had in the back of my mind, as a golden starting rule...never install any OTA updates or other roms without unrooting first.

But, some have said on previous OTA updates, that the update has worked without unrooting. After seeing many of those posts to verify success without unrooting, I took that route.

However, this time around some peeps have mentioned make sure to unroot first. Is this just a legacy safety thing? Is anyone having success without unrooting?

So, if unrooting IS 100% needed...

Then comes my next question with how rooting works.

If I use ODIN to flash a rom onto my device to unroot (whether stock or other), via the countless videos out there on ODIN unrooting, couldn't I at that point, just be flashing the newest rom with 4.1.1 in it? (and therefore not be caring about the OTA update). But, to do that, I'd have to wait a day or two to appear in the wild (like here on xda, or maybe already in another thread).

Or, do I have to install the stock sprint rom to get it to unroot. And, if unrooted at that point, then go and wait for OTA updates or just flashing multiple zips to get from L2 to L8, then L8 to L13, then L13 to present JB?

Thanks for any help/clarification

battery drain

Installed the rom and the battery drains faster then I can type.any one else have that problem? I can see the battery percent change as I type.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Mien651:
is the jwllybean statusbar actually grey or was that a bug
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jcwxguy:
You can try being rooted and flash the file, maybe you will have better luck then me. Freeza already has the rom (was leak but is official) if u want to flash that instead. You would also probably want to flash the modem/firmware in his thread as well.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] jcwxguy:
If only flashing the ota update, shouldnt erase anything on your card. I always make a backup in case though

Sent from my jellybean SSGS3 using Forum Runner
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] wwjoshdew:
THIS IS WHAT I'VE WANTED! Thank you OP! Now I can get rid of CM10. I didn't want to because the Jelly Bean leak from Freeza was annoying! I'd go to take a picture or unlock my phone and I'd see the X (from the boot up). Then I can press power and make the phone sleep. Then pressing power again would bring the X back up and the back/menu buttons would light up. SOMETIMES a reboot would fix it, but most of the time I'd have to wipe cache and dalik for it to boot. I was not going to go back to ICS either. So I used CM10, but it's annoying because it doesn't want to go from 4G to 3G, and there is no way to update your profile or prl (but I can on CM10 with my Nexus). So I have to settle with just 3G in Kansas City, which aint gonna happen. Now I can have Jelly Bean and fully working radios! Freaking awesome.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] m20120:
I was able to make this work on a rooted stock LI3 but two issues:

I was getting a failure (Status 7) at first because I had removed the System version of Swype that was included in LI3. I had to replace it to get past that error. I extracted the two files needed from the LI3 update and replaced them in system/app and system/lib.

I could not get it to work in TWRP. It failed due to:

- script aborted: assert failed: getprop("ro.secure")=="1"

It seems that TWRP has ro.secure=0 and that prevent it from working. I used CWM v6.0.1.2 and all was fine.

No SD Card

I don't have an SD Card. How can I install this update from recovery mode?

Here's what I tried:

Put the .zip in the SPH-710/Phone folder

created an 'sdcard' folder and put the zip in there

created a 'cache' folder and put the zip in there.

None of it worked. How can I install the update without an SD Card?

Thanks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] m20120:
The "Phone" folder that appears is the internal memory that acts as the sdcard. Just place the file in that folder.

Differences from leaked JL7

Are there any differences from this and the leaked version? Any worthwhile at least? :eek:
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] never.known:
Any reason?

Hey,

Not to blame the file or the update...which I know is good and set to go.

My main questions for my first post is:

Should the black notification bar from ICS...of turned into a gray notification bar for JB?

I loved the black notification bar and was wondering if this was just a color trade with JB, or something I did wrong.

Any help would be appreciated.

Oh, I am stock Galaxy SIII. No root or changes.

Thanks Again.

Updated in stock recovery. Thanks I didn't want to wait for am OTA
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] xerigen:
That's what I thought, but I've placed the file in there both as the original filename and as update.zip. When I boot into stock recovery (turned my sgs3 off and held in power+home+volume up), my options are "apply update from external storage" and "apply update from cache". Neither of those work. What can I do? (selecting "apply update from external storage" results in "failed to mount /sdcard (no such file or directory)"

Thanks.

Updated from ota download.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] fzammetti:
FYI, my experience...

I was rooted stock LI3 with CWM 5.5.0.4 installed... the clearing Google Services Framework trick finally worked and I got the OTA at about 2am this morning... I just let it download but didn't try to install it (knew it would fail)

I ran Voodoo OTA RootKeeper first to save root, then pulled the zip from cache, copied to SD card and rebooted to recovery... figured I'd try to install from CWM straight-up and it failed as expected (failed signature verification error)

I had a hunch so I rebooted and enabled everything I had disabled previously (via normal Android application manager)... thing is, and I'm 99% sure this was the key, I also had a few of them that I had to freeze (but not remove) via Titanium since they couldn't be disabled normally... I think the update script is smart enough to notice apps that were disabled that normally can't be and throw up due to it... so, I also went into TI and defrosted those few as well

Rebooted to CWM and installed from SD and the update worked fine... no data wiped or anything like that, everything as it should be but with JB goodness! Oh yeah, and RootKeeper did its thing perfectly, restored rooted afterwards no problem.

So now I just have to go disable all the "cruft" again and I'm good to go :)

Oops, just noticed though that it DID restore stock recovert... so not *quite* perfect I guess... but hey, easy enough to reinstall CWM so no biggie. Call me happy :)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] m20120:
You can avoid that by also flashing the TeamEpic-Root-from-Recovery-v5.zip from CWM, after you flash the update but before you reboot.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] EndlessDissent:
Yes, it did. I used the file you posted in the other thread.

I can't seem to figure our the Error 7.

- I looked for any frozen apps - SysScope was frozen in TB but attempt to unfreeze didn't work

- I haven't flashed any mods

- On Stock recovery and removed root

Any other suggestions?

Should i just flash Freeza's full ROM? Or just wait for a rooted update zip?

Thanks again to you guys.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] flyboyjr:
Works great and still rooted!!!

I was on stock ICS and rooted.

First copy these 2 files to SD-Card "eec955eb4a5b.update_SPH-L710_LI3_to_LJ7.zip" and "TeamEpic-Root-from-Recovery-v5.zip".

To install and keep root:

1. Power off phone

2. Hold down power, up, and home until the screen flashes Samsung and release

3. Choose zip from SD card

4. Install this zip "eec955eb4a5b.update_SPH-L710_LI3_to_LJ7.zip" from CWM recovery.

5. Without rebooting Choose zip from SD-card

6. Install "TeamEpic-Root-from-Recovery-v5.zip".

Then I rebooted and I have root and JB.

Very easy upgrade and install. Did not lose anything. Right after boot up There was an update to Google Search for JB.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] rjin9673:
I was running stock rooted with CWM. I backed up through CWM. I flashed the update from CWM, then flashed TeamEpic-Root-from-Recovery-v5.zip. Worked like a charm. Now enjoying some delicious Butter! Thank you so much OP for the zip!

I am 100% stock, downloaded the .zip file, placed it on my SD card, went to bootloader, but when I go to 'apply update from external storage' it says "E:failed to mount /sdcard (invalid argument)".

It's the stock bootloader, everything is stock. Not rooted either.

You can find the two file you need in ea5d7d1ce298.update_SPH-L710_LG8_to_LI3.zip.

I am a total noob. Please explain the bold.

I am also rooted on a completely stock rom.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] m20120:
You can use this procedure if you are fully stock (but rooted) LI3:

- You must not have any modified or removed system files.

- You must be odexed (not de-odexed).

- Download eec955eb4a5b.update_SPH-L710_LI3_to_LJ7.zip and save it to your sdcard.

- Download TeamEpic-Root-from-Recovery-v5.zip and save it to your sdcard.

- Make sure you are fully stock (replace any files that you have modified or removed. i.e. Swype, etc).

- Boot into CWM recovery (I found that TWRP will not work due to ro.secure=0).

- Make a nandroid backup (optional but recomended)

- Flash the LI3_to_LJ7 udpate

- Flash the Team Epic (optional but will insure that the ROM does not reinstall the stock recovery on reboot).

- Wipe Cache.

- Reboot
