From what I can read and tell, it looks like I'm **** out of luck.....
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] scott14719:
Did you buy the phone in this condition? Because I can't imagine how any thought process would allow someone to do ANYTHING to a phone if they didn't at least (and I mean at the very least) know what firmware the phone was running. And actually, much more than that needs to be learned before the phone is ever touched.

So you bought it from someone like that?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] zachsx:
Yes, and When I plugged it in it said that there was an update. Than here I am now in this boat. lol

MF3 can be J-Tagged now. So there is hope. Hit up mobiltechvideos. They do awesome work.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] scott14719:
Try manually putting the phone into ODIN (download) mode and then manually cancel out of it (volume down button...I think). and see if it boots up. There is also a thread in the general section about "a fix for KIES", you might want to check it out. Also, apparently Best Buys stores can reflash MF3 phones if you ask them nicely. All of this might help if you were on MF3.

If you were not on MF3, try to ODIN back to stock. Only do this with MDB or MDL firmware.

Good luck.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] zachsx:
I tried hitting cancel then it gives me the kies error message. It doesn't boot up. I have no clue what firmware im running now, which is probably why im in the boat when I tried odining it.

Mine working

Just to let everyone know I flashed to stock firmware MDL and when I rebooted it had a software update which I did without thinking which MF3. I then rooted with know problems and at this point I used goo manger and attempted to install CWM bad idea. Should have read but didn't but I read for a week trying to figure out and try everything I could think of no deal. I saw that people talked about going to best buy so I went to one close to me and system kept showing device not found the person told me he couldn't do anything so I called AT&T who wanted me to travel clear across the city to have it flashed or replaced. Decided that was to much so I went to another best buy and his system said not supported. He called Samsung and they wanted me to send it in or take to there Samsung repair center which was only couple miles away which I did. They had no problem flashing it funny thing they used Odin which they have the files for. I tried to get the guy to give me a copy of the software but he said he couldn't oh well I tried but it does prove that there is Odin files for it just have to wait. I know this is long post just thought that maybe it will help others.

I have have the P769 with JB V20f. I keeping getting the the notification for the V20h update. I hit reboot & install. It shuts down then goes to the Android screen with the red triangle. I'm not sure what mode this is (I'm new to Jelly Bean and phone that does OTA updates) then reboots. I go to check Software version & it shows P76920f is still installed. What gives?

I have a P769 V20f rooted using LGPwn, have Superuser & Voodoo OTA RootKeeper V2.0.3

Thanks in advance for any help or guidance!
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] Ilxaot:
If you've modified system apps OR removed system content (bloatware) it won't allow you to update because you're missing "required" files. And by that I mean, they're upset that you removed their "important" and "exclusive" content, so they refuse you the update. Don't worry, the update it useless for most users. (:
[LG Optimus L9 P760, P765, P768, P769] ZachWho:
The thing is I don't get 2G, 3G or 4G at work where I really think I probably would. I would like to think this "update" would help. :confused:

I didn't go bloatware removal crazy on this thing (like I wanted to). I made a backup of Amazon then uninstalled it using Titanium Backup. That is the only thing from the rom I removed. If I restored it, I wonder if it would work. I'll try restoring it then post back.

You are right! I restored Amazon and the update installed! Root was restored successfully using VooDoo RootKeeper. :victory: :highfive:

I am a Crack Flasher. I've been doing it since the Fascinate. Very experienced. I recently jacked up my phone which obscured my ERI/IMEI/Google Play connection. I was able to manually re-program the IMEI using QPST....... Before, I re-flashed stock MF1. I took it to Verizon and they were skeptical and unhelpful. They said it seemed as if I altered the OS. They had no proof and wouldn't honor the warranty. Play wont work unless a previous OS (before MF1) is installed(?). I get Connection Error. I TRIED EVERYTHING!

I followed the flash to a T.

Not sure which Rom is the culprit.

maybe TK 2.5

Before you go accusing roms of causing your problems, maybe you should read up on how people actually lose their imei and eri in the first place. A simple search for "imei" or "eri" would've accomplished this.

If you did that, you would have been directed to a plethora of threads describing that the s3 can drop their imei randomly even without a flash being a culprit.

Next time you start flashing anything, read up on the device stickies so you know what you're doing and how to fix most problems that come up.

Sorry for the long post, I just can't stand it when people bash a rom for no reason. It wasn't that roms fault for this issue.

Hi Mamaich, I am currently running ROM 5.03.02WWE with the patched nk.nbf. I have problems with running WorldMate Pro and WorldMate Expense. Both of them was successfully installed, but I am unable to launch each of the program. Hence, I was wondering if I should upgrade my ROM to the latest ROM WM5_pack_V1 and it would help with installing and running the WorldMate softwares. If it hepls, then do I have to 'Unhide & Unlock' and Repart_DOC my system. Bearing in mind that I am nolonger running WM2003SE, or can I just run BAupgradeut from the WM5-pack-V1. If Not, mut I downgrade back to WM2003SE first, and upgrade from Step 1.

Thanks
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] mamaich:
you don't need to repartition DOC if you did it before. And if you flashed the patched ROM - you don;t need to reflash it, just do a hardreset (camera+record+reset button and select to clean registry and storage).

Maybe WorldMate soft is not compatible with WM5, I don't use it.

[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] V@no:
Please, the screen time is irrelevant it's how you use that screen time is what's important. You can watch netflix 9 hours non-stop, but you won't be able get these 9 hours of screen time any other possible way, only if you keep it on all the time.

So in average you might get 4 hours of screen time by using it for 15 minutes at a time, or next time it will be only 2 hours if you turn it on for 30 sec at a time.

Screen time on it's own is like artificial benchmarks - useless.
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Notrega:
Screen on time with average use, ie. email/texting/web IS indeed a good indicator.... That is why screenshots should show the battery screen and screen time so that you can evaluate what is being used

Sent from my XT926 Vanquish
[Galaxy Note 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] V@no:
That's exactly is my point - one must see how the phone was used together with the screen time before be able evaluate it. Unfortunately people show screenshot of first screen where all apps displayed and then screen time screen. That doesn't tell you anything either. The details graph is what's most important in battery live evaluation.

I can have 24 hours battery life and 7 hours of screen time. How? - by not touching the phone for 17 hours and then watch netflix til it dies. It will be amazing unless I show the battery usage details graph.

P.S.

Not arguing, just saying ;)
