I'd rather have an up to date phone than a rooted phone, I think. I just have it rooted to eliminate the shutter sound in the camera anyway.
Some threads say that they "lost root" when they updated. Does that mean I can just update and it'll be back to non-rooted normal? That would be easier than un-rooting, but I'm afraid to just click the OK button in case it messes things up.

View 3 Replies View RelatedGetting "no connection" when I try to run Play Store app on my LG Optimus L9, rooted phone. I've tried everything I could find on various forums to fix this. Adjusted date/time, switched from manual date/time and back to auto from internet, deleted "hosts" file from the system/etc folder, emptied cache and wiped data from the app using titanium backup, and some other things I can't even remember now. I found a site where I could download a more current version of the Play Store app in an apk file and install it (AndroidPolice site). Is that likely to fix this "no connection" issue? I currently have android 4.1.2, and my Playstore app is 4.0.25. I've also wiped data and cleared cache and restored Google Play services. I haven't tried uninstalling either Play Services or Play Store because I'm afraid to do that. I did use Autorun Manager to make them not load on reboot, but that didn't change anything, so I set them back to automatically load. I also tried freezing them both and separately one at a time.

I trying to find a way to disable the lockscreen completly so I can use widget locker instead without having to swipe twice every time.
I have tried setting the standard lock screen to none but it still starts with the standard swipe lockscreen - I have also tried alot of different apps (noLock, no lock screen, etc) but none of them are able to disable the lockscreen.
I have also searched for solutions (here and a lot of other sites) but a lot of people suggest its a bug in os 4.3.
Running os 4.3 have succesfully been able to disable the standard lock screen.
I am considering purchasing an unlocked galaxy S4 SGH-I337 (AT&T) and i have Digicel network because I live in Haiti. Can i udate the software once i put my Digicel sim card in this S4 because the phone came with 4.2 installed but i have read it is elligible for an update to 4.3. Since it is technically an at&t phone but unlocked. I dont know much about this kind of thing. I tried to do it via Kies and it says that I cant update this version using Kies. I never received any update whenever I check it only says update interrupted and no software available. While android 4.3 was out on at&t and it's been weeks. What should I do? My phone is not even rooted.

I am using a Samsung Galaxy Note 2 SPH-L900 that currently has software 4.1.2. I've recently been trying to finally update to 4.3 and it seems my phone is stuck on an old update. It's 28.5MB and it'll show there's an update, I'll download it, it'll say it was successful. I'll then tell it to restart & install, what happens next is it looks like it just does a simply restart. It shuts off, shows the Samsung startup screen, and then I'm back to my homepage. Because of this, I can't update the phone any further. I tried going a Hard Reset (holding vol up, home, then power) and delete data/formating drive and that didn't fix it. I also tried going to the All Applications -> Google Services Framework -> Clear Cache -> Stop Service and what this does it brings up the same page for the 28.5MB download and it does the same thing it's always done.
View 1 Replies View RelatedI have a Galaxy S4 SGH-i1337 with android 4.2.2 baseband i1337YCYAMF3. About a month ago I rooted and installed safestrap on it. I just recently removed my custom rom in slot 1 so all slots except the stock are empty. I booted back into my stock rom I tried to get the AT&T Update to 4.3, it downloaded and rebooted to install and said that the install was Interrupted. How I can get the 4.3 update to work on it? I am guessing I need to remove safestrap and restore the stock system restore image but I don't know how.

Now the only other update ive gotten for this device, I had to install via KIES and it was a firmware upgrade, but NOW this time, KIES is not seeing that an update is available. Just says "firmware is up to date"
Ive done alot of research and I believe that the issue is that I removed bloatware after I rooted the phone and back then I did not understand the value of a backup so I cannot restore the bloatware that I removed.
Ive already tried temporarily unrooting and installing with voodoo unroot, Ive tried restoring it to factory settings/wiping data and ive tried odin and clockwork mod to install the update but it fails everytime.
I even downloaded the triangle blocker and reset my flash counter to 0.
Try to upgrade my S6802.
According to the tutorial said, would have to download the ROM and GAPPS, I downloaded both. I tried to install the ROM and gave problem, not installed, returned to screen recupeeracao (Volume + Home + Power). Hence I went to install GAPPS, ai installed, rebooted the machine and Playstore not worked, I reseted the factory settings and native apps google all gone, and I can not find the gapps for my S6802, downloaded some, including those but the problem continues.
I downloaded the original ROM pro on the website of Samsung S6802 and try install, the error, "E: can not mount / sdcard" or "E: can not open / tmp / sideload / package.zip".
I try to install the rom by Odin 3.0.7 and not out of "setupconnection" already spent over an hour and not much happens.
I have used my Galaxy Note 2 together with an All-Share dongle showing screen mirroring with projector. This has been working perfectly for months but when I got N2 updated to Android 4.3 the screen mirroring gets connected but immediately disconnects.
View 24 Replies View RelatedI received the notification there was a new software update available(I assume it is the 4.3 update) so i went ahead with the update. The s3 was on charge so no problems there.
The update started and went to 100% and then the device restarted and now it is frozen on the Samsung start up screen. I have tried a reset (power button and home button) but this did not have any affect the Start up screen remained,i tried to boot the phone is safe mode(power home and vol up buttons) and this did not have any effect either.
I pulled out the battery to restart the phone and it still remains frozen on the samsung start up sceen.

View 2 Replies View RelatedBought a cheap tablet off Amazon (running 4.2). Tried installing the SKY Go app. Unable to watch any content as it states the device is rooted (not done by me, wouldn't know where to start!). Basically, can the root be removed? i have trawled the internet for a solution. Some sites talk about super user which i cannot see anywhere.
Downloaded a file manager app, no SU in /system/bin/su or /system/app/Superuser.apk. There is one in /system/xbin/su which it will not let me delete.
I have rooted my device and I was downloading a app and it was taking long to complete so I force stopped some app in the app manager thing (I think it was about downloading) and now after that any google things don't work.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI recently purchased an acer iconia b1-a71 tablet. It has come with android 4.1.2, and there is no further system updates are available. I would like to upgrade to jelly bean 4.2 - my reason for this is because I can't seem to bluetooth pair my tablet and htc one together for internet tethering. I've read that jelly bean 4.2 may fix this.
I saw this one here: [URL]...which says: ps .My device ( Acer iconia b1-a71 8gB) OS is android 4.1.2 (B1-A71 RV04RC05_TWN_GEN1) want to upgrade to android 4.2(B1-A71.RV05RC05.TWN.GEN1)
I upgraded to RV05RC05, which I was led to believe contained jelly bean 4.2 - but the tablet still says its 4.1.2. I also rooted it using this page: [URL]... but it's still the same.
So is there actually an operating system update to jelly bean 4.2? Or, is there a way that I can bluetooth pair for internet tethering (from the phone, to the tablet) without the update?
my USB doesn't work anymore. I can't charge or connect it to a PC. I'm dying to install Jelly Bean. Is it possible to upgrade via OTA? Is my manufacturer warranty void since my GNex is rooted?
View 5 Replies View RelatedInstalling JB on my rooted pantech flex manually. I can't recieve OTA updates so this would be the only way for me.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI have Pantech Flex P8010. I was rooted on ICS 4.0.4 and then I installed Jelly Bean Update by restoring rooted backup of Jelly Bean 4.1.2 uploaded by Zapper_Master.
After Jelly Bean I got smooth working phone. But, as other I had same issue of Wifi not working and automatic 2x Reboots after atleast gap of 6-7 hours. (I was knowing it before I installed update as others who updated by restoring zip also faced same issue. But, It was ok for me as I like Jelly Bean the most.)
But, there was way to enable native wifi tethering on this lovely phone on ICS. [URL] ......
And I followed same steps (After Installing SQLite Editor, I just backed up database & changed value from settings.db secure table on actual database.)
Line 1. softap_free_supported
Line 2. softap_entitlement_interval
Change Line 1′s value to 1 in the SQL editor. Change Line 2′s value to 0 in the SQL editor save and close or just close depending on the editor.
SUPPER IMPORTANT if the file permissions on settings.db are not rw-rw-rw make them so in your file explorer.
There was a risk of bricking phone as there is no recovery available for Jelly Bean.
I just wanted to let others know that above method also works on Jelly Bean. But, USE AT YOUR OWN RISK! I will not be responsible if anything goes wrong & you brick your lovely flex.
I'm looking for a tutorial to Root and then revert back to JellyBean from KitKat on a Nexus 7 2013 2nd Gen, non carrier, WiFi only, or Whatever is required to switch back to JB from KK..

View 4 Replies View RelatedI got an OTA Android 4.3 update last week (or two weeks ago, perhaps) for my AT&T (out of contract) Galaxy S3 (SGH-747), shortly after (~6 weeks I think) getting an update to 4.x (can't recall which number it was, but it was less than 4.3, maybe 4.2.1?)
The 4.3 update has completely screwed my phone:
Have Slowness issuesHome screen repaints icons noticeably slowlyThere are now sticky notifications of two downloads that happened BACK IN MARCH. No matter how many times I click on clear, they come back almost immediatelyHUGE BATTERY DRAIN. THE BATTERY COMPLETELY DEPLETES AFTER 2 HOURS AT MOST, WHICH DIDN'T HAPPEN BEFORE THIS STUPID UPDATEBattery stats shows the drain is because of an app that I completely doubt did anything. When I uninstalled such app Android is now blaming Android system (or something like that), and the battery drain continues CANNOT ACTIVATE WiFi HOTSPOT ANY MORE. "Please wait while verifying" and then "A network error has occurred". Even with FoxFi, I get the same issueetc.
I am no longer using AT&T but instead StraightTalk (for 10+ months). Everything was working perfectly for me before this stupid update
Checked that there is no newer update. Also, installed Kies 3.0 and it tells me my OS is not supported for updates via Kies either.
how to wipe out this update and go back to the stock original rom (4.1.1 i think).
I recently bought a Note 3 from someone and when I pull out the S pen, it shows me Action Memo, Scrap Book, Screen Write, Shortcut and S Calender. My Screen write takes own screen shot when I press it and doesn't allow me to write and it's not like the other Note 3. Instead of Pen Window it shows S Calender . When I click on the Scrap book it opens my recent apps window. Why my one is different?

So about a month ago I tried to flash a rom onto my galaxy s4. I waited for about three hours and nothing happened so I did home+down+on and clicked no so it would boot back up. I want to reset my galaxy but when I go home+up+on it puts me into downloading mode and it won't let me reset my device and wipe my data. I tried using Odin on my computer but I kept getting error messages. I'd really like to unroot my device and have it to factory settings again.
