I can confirm second-hand that the update's available both OTA and through Kies.

If I can figure out where Kies is storing the update, I may see if I can nab files from it, particularly the modem image (if I could root the phone(s) in question, that would make getting it much easier...)

So something weirs happened when I updated...

Update when fine but when I booted up I had all the Bell bloatware; tunes and apps, self serve, mobile tv etc

Weird thing is I'm not with Bell. I'm a telus customer. Any one else get this?
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] smelenchuk:
I succeeded in getting the modem firmware out of the update and into a flashable package, in case anyone tracking this thread is interested.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] Tony_YYZ:
I completed the upgrade. It installed perfectly fine. Once it was up and running I restored root from Voodoo and froze all the bloat apps again in Titanium Backup Pro.

Rogers added a crap ton more bloat apps with this update.
[AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III] sunnyd71:
I have the leaked JB upgrade (not rooted) and both Kies and OTA update check won't allow me to update because I have modified software. What is the easiest way to go back to fully stock and update? I'd rather not install CWM on the device even though it makes updates a breeze.

You can try a different port that's what worked for me. Or uninstall the usb driver and let it install again manually.

Getting a Nexus 7 for Xmas and I would like to begin weening myself off of my phone in preparation of going "tablet only" eventually. In any case, I currently use foxfi on my phone for tethering but it tends to be a little slow because of all the data my phone is trying to use at the same time. What's the best way to strip off everything to basically turn my phone into a dedicated hotspot? I do want to still be able to make calls but everything else I'm moving to my tablet. Right now I'm running the AOKP jelly bean Rom but ill probably go back to an ICS Rom for the better battery life and the JB Rom is real spotty with 4G service for some reason. Any ideas?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] KeeperOfThePizza:
Honestly, I'd give unoriginal minimal version 1.4.6. Great battery life and stable.

I use my S2 as a wifi hotspot for my N7. Unless you have a bunch of stuff getting synced a lot there really isn't much going on to slow down your connection. I have my weather widget set to update every 4 hours, Facebook notifications turned off, all e-mail sync set to manual and I turn off GPS when not needed. Works just fine for me. There are still times when the phone will be all I have on me, so I don't want it to cripple it by removing stuff I might need. Loving my N7, BTW. Watched the Noles game on ESPN last night while driving back from Palm Beach. Only lost connection once.:laugh:
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] CallMeAria:
Do what Miami_Son suggested and just turn off all syncing, GPS, any background data/location collection.

Turn off GNow. Uninstall/delete all your extra apps. If it will be a secondary device create web short cuts for websites you frequent rather than their apps.

For tethering I would suggest just installing a basic rom like cm9 (or a slimmed down version of cm9 such as slim ICS). The tethering is built in. You could take it a step further and completely skip installing any gapps as well as they won't be needed if you don't need the market, etc.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] ukulele_ninja:
This is what I am thinking, thank you for the Rom recommendation. I would rather just go with a dedicated HotSpot dongle, but I still have a year left on my contract so I dont want to pay for two separate data plans. I dont mind crippling my phone because as mentioned, everything I currently do with it I will be doing with my tablet so the only thing I will want from it is the extremely rare phone call. With the Slim Roms, is the battery life pretty good? Ive noticed that with AOKP Rom im only muscling maybe 7 hours worth of moderate use before its dead. With the intention of leaving tethering on, I want to ensure Ill be able to squeeze as much out of it as possible.

Thanks for the replies everyone!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] CallMeAria:
The slim roms should be on par with the full versions. Just a lot less bloat. Another thing you can do since you won't really be using the phone for much else is set your processor speed way down. Also screen brightness way down (just in case).

Another thing if you go with cm9 is the option to turn off each individual apps ability to use data. Another added bonus.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CommeRestus:
Hey all.

Well first i'm gonna talk a bit about myself.

I have Huawei Ascend G300, and before that i had Huawei Ideos X3 (my first android). I've been playing with ROM's flashing since almost the beginning but now i'm trying to learn a bit more. What i'm trying to do is to port a Sense ROM to my G300. From HTC One V to be exact (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1943412). I don't have any kind of experience in developing, this is my first try, but i guess i would learn more porting Sense than any other normal port as it is much deeper than others. Don't give me answers like "you can't do it based on your experience" or "if you want Sense buy HTC". This is Chef Central so i'm expecting tips from experienced Dev's. And this little project is just to learn more about how android works. Finally, i would get a decent HTC if i had money for it. ;)

So, the guid i'm following:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1707177

If you have more detailed guides please send them to me.

What i've done so far. In CM9 (base) i've edited init.rc copying from Sense ROM and compiled the boot.img back. I've tacken the keys from CM9 to Sense ROM. Copied the files that the guide told me to. After this i recompiled the Sense ROM. Tried to flash and got problems with updater script. So i took the updater script and binary from CM9 to Sense ROM and tried again. It flashed this time but doesnt get past Splash Screen.

I've not made changes in framework.res and build.prop yet (it's my next task).

So how am i going? Am i on a good path?

Thanks!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GRock84:
I'm also working on a sense port. And your doing well so far, however, I would recommend editing the updater - script to match your mount points from stock script instead of copying the stock script over. There are some important processes that run that are sense specific. I've only made it to boot animation so far.

Thanks Alot ;)
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rubber guard:
AFAIK it is better to charge it when it has run all the way down close to 0% rather than constantly recharging.
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamesc760:
I disagree, respectfully of course. I think it's better to top up well before your phone battery runs down to 0%.

Phone batteries have a limited cycle life. Around 400 cycles, which means an average battery will last 400 times of full cycle ( from full to empty). So if you are in the habit of constantly running down and topping up your battery, it will have exhausted its life after about 400 cycles.
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
don't panic.many as you had that issue.it is easy

from 4ext recovery enable smartflash and then immediately flash the rom

you should be fine
[HTC Sensation] matekaneve:
If it still fails to boot after reflashed with smartflash on, get boot.img from zip, place it in your fastboot/adb folder and flash it manually from fastboot: fastboot flash boot boot.img

Look for Asskicker's guide in General section. "flashing rom with s-on and Hboot 1.27+"
[HTC Sensation] ElliotHorne32:
Unfortunately, this hasn't worked for me. I did this...

- Went onto 4EXT recovery.

- Went to tools.

- Clicked on 'Enable Smartflash'.

- Ensured it was on.

- Went to 'install .zip from SD Card'

- Found the Cynagon MOD.

- "Finding update package... Opening update package... Installing update... Install from SD Card complete."

- Rebooted phone.

- A pending update to your boot partition has been detected. Your ROM will reboot once [and then it reboots]. The first time it came up with this though. It said something about how there had been an error.

- Got stuck at the HTC screen again.

:( I'd just like to reaffirm that before something happened (I believe it was when I tried to flash to stock recovery), my phone was getting to the Beats Audio/Little Blue Man Screen. Now it's getting to the HTC screen.

That donation to the site is still in promise!
[HTC Sensation] ElliotHorne32:
This also didn't work for me. It appeared to run entirely successfully. I rebooted the phone using 'fastboot reboot' and it still got stuck at the same screen.
[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
did you flash gapps and then the CM rom?

if no then:

flash gapps

flash the rom again

(don't forget to enable smartflash again)
[HTC Sensation] ElliotHorne32:
Sorry to be a pain, but could you run me through a step-by-step on how to do that? *Noob Klaxon*

[HTC Sensation] rzr86:
gapps is google apps.is a zip file

if i remember well maybe is in the thread where you downloaded the rom

simply put it in the root of sdcard and flash it from recovery

after that flash the rom(don't forget smartflash)

I downloaded it from here [can't post link, but it's the official Cynagon MOD Website] - I then clicked on the 'Stable Mod'.?

Hi there mate!

What I would recommend you to do is running an appropriate RUU for your device, ( i would recommend GB, because then you can S-off very easy), and then re-run the whole process. If you run a GB RUU, you can gain s-off with revolutionary. And the best part, the RUU can be run in bootloader, so it doesn't matter if your ROM does not boot. I can send you a link once my internet gets faster (im using all my bandwidth for source-building lol)

Please keep me posted and feel free to ask any questions :)

Best of luck !
