Sprint guys - does anyone have an update.zip for EB28?

Would be nice to run the zip instead of waiting on the notification.

Yeah that would be :] Watching...

I'm on EA24 currently, and the update is downloaded.
It won't install due to root and (I assume) modded kernel. Since it's downloaded on my Tab, does that mean I can extract it from somewhere?

When I reflash stock using Odin I always lose root and kernels flashed... did you just do a recover?
I believe there is probably somewhere on the device that something is stored, however I'm not 100%...

Unroot my GT-I9000

Can you help me find a way to unroot my device ?
Thanks

i believe it depends on the method you used to root it in the first place. If you use SOC (super one click) then the same app can be used to un-root. If you flashed a rooted kernel, then I think all that is needed is you to flash back a stock kernel.

easiest way is to flash a stock firmware, appropriate to your region, then root will dissappear and you are ready to take it in to samsung without worry

Download a stock version here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1102881
But be carefull if you rooted you device and activated EXT4 on it, restoring a Stock ROM will fail. First make sure you don't use EXTx and convert back to RFS.

I've never experience such a 'fail'. Be it EXT4 or RFS, you can easily odin back to a stock firmware. No problems at all. Odin will format and create the default RFS partitions back.

can someone help me unroot my galaxy s i500 from verizon? i tried to root it with odin and i guess i downloaded the files for the gt-i9000 and i ran everything and it passedm, when my phone rebooted it went straight to recovery mode and now i cant click on any of the options i can only scroll down with the volume down button, ive tried pressing all the buttons to see which one is "enter" and nothing works. heeeeellllpppppp!!!!!

The home button (if you have one) is the enter button.

[Q] accidentally deleted a TouchWizCalendar.apk

I feel so stupid. Should have backed up before trying to do this, but...
I was trying to upgrade my TouchWiz30Launcher.apk but I gave up, unfortunately, i did rm Touch*.apk. I have no idea what the h311 I was thinking, but luckily I only lost the calculator and the calendar. I found the stock calculator apk and put it back. Works fine, but I am having trouble with the calendar. I was having trouble finding the right one and it foobared the app. It is no longer in the installed list and not executable anymore.
ANY help would be appreciated. Freaking out a bit as I like my calendar. Gahhh!
Thanks all.

I flashed it as an OTA upgrade (well, using the Samsung crap). I don't have the original flash file.
I've tried to execute the .apk and it goes and looks like it is trying to install and then says (with a check mark mind you) Application not installed. How awesome is that.
Any other ideas?

I think if you flash the firmware via Odin without repartitioning, you'll get the Samsung apps reinstalled and user data not wiped

Well, I tried that. I found a file in what I think is a compatible firmware and pulled the TouchWizCalendar.apk on to my sdcard and copied it to the /system/app folder. Doesn't seem to work. It's like it's not there. I tried to rename the TouchWizCalendar.odex file to TouchWizCalendar.odex.bak too without success.
Is there something that I'm missing?

Perhaps someone with 2.3.3 and Titanium Backup could backup the app and send it to me? TB can restore an app that isn't on the system, right?

Oh I'm sorry, if only there was some way to find and download the stock firmware for the i9000 and i9000m, which is listed in a thread dedicated to stock firmware for the SGS.

HTC one unroot

hello i have searched all over the internet for a HTC One UK Three RUU, but couldnt find anything.
but i have found a nandroid backup on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2207874&nocache=1
however, i do not know how to use it
can somebody tell me step by step instructions on how to unroot using this backup please and thank you in advance

I just downloaded the nand backup to my pc, put onto my phone's sd at the root of it, then used Rom manager to flash it, after installing you will need to install the lost apps package found in the one android dev section, once done I did my own nand backup without root so I had my own backup

Hi, I am in the same boat here. No luck finding an RUU for three UK but have found the nandroid back up. If I use this back up will this unroot and get me back to how my phone was when purchased. As this is what I wish to achieve. Complete Noob. Switched from jailbreaking.

Doing a Nandroid backup should take away root as long as you don't install it through TWRP or CWM (they have an option when you go to reboot and it gets in the way)

Ok cool. Appreciate that. So how do I go about not installing through Cwm or twrp. Is that as described in the earlier posts? Also it mentions the lost apps package can you shed light on this for me too? All help appreciated greatly.

[HOW TO]Update from stock rooted MF9/MJA/MK2 to NAE (with root) without losing data

Updated for NAE. When the NAE tar.md5 comes out you can just flash it directly rather than doing all this.
This will update everything (firmware, modem, bootloader, ROM, recovery, etc) to NAE. As long as you're coming from stock or mostly stock, this should work, and you will still have all your data and apps. It will also probably work coming from another MF9, MJA, or MK2 based ROM, but you may have problems (in which case you can just wipe data. The whole process should take less than 30 minutes, not counting the time it takes to download the stock tar.md5 image. I recommend starting it now (link in Step 2) so it will be ready when you need it. This will NOT work if you've already tried to take the NAE OTA and it failed because you weren't fully stock.
You will need odin. It can be downloaded from this thread. Alternatively, if you're using OS X or Linux, I found that Heimdall works very well in place of odin. There are a few extra steps involved though, but if you install Heimdall Frontend then you don't have to mess with the terminal.
Step 1: Backup your current ROM with TWRP, CWM, or Philz.
Step 2: Download the MK2 tar.md5 from sammobile. Sammobile is pretty slow to download, but I found a mirror and a second mirror. I also made a torrent that might be faster (please seed if you use it to speed it up for everyone). Flashing this with odin does NOT wipe data. You can verify it by opening it in an a program that supports tar and looking at the files within it; those are the partitions it overwrites. This will give you stock MK2 recovery, bootloader, modem, firmware, and software.
Step 3: Use odin to flash it over your current ROM. To do this, you need to first put the phone into download mode. Power it off completely, then press and hold volume down, home, and power. Then connect it to your computer.
In odin, I just left default odin settings checked. Make sure that you add the tar.md5 in the PDA slot and apply it. Reboot and verify that your data is all there. You can still easily revert to the backup you made in Step 1 if things aren't right.
Step 4: Put the MK2 to NAE OTA on your external sd card (not internal). You don't need to rename it.
Power the phone off completely. Then press and hold home, volume up, and power to get into stock recovery. Navigate to where you put the OTA zip on your external sd card and flash it. It will reboot a couple times during the update, including one time where it seems like it's booted up and done before it powers off again. You'll know it's done when you get a popup notification saying it completed successfully. All your data and apps should still be there.
Note: From this point on, performing any of these steps will set the Knox flag. So if you just purchased the phone (within your return window) or are having issues and may need a replacement, you may want hold off on root. Sprint may or may not check for this during a warranty replacement. Insurance replacements should be fine.
Step 5: Go back into download mode and flash CF Auto Root through odin. You should now have root, and knox will not complain. You'll need to re-download the SuperSU app from the Play Store though. Open the app and let it update the su binary to the newest version.
Step 6: Flash TWRP (or CWM or Philz) through odin (it didn't work for me with goo manager). Optionally reboot into recovery to make sure it actually stuck.

Step 6: Flash TWRP (or CWM) through odin (it didn't work for me with goo manager). Optionally reboot into recovery to make sure it actually stuck.
It seems that with all the issues with the new firmware, that it's actually worth the trouble to do it the "official" way to make sure it works, especially since it's trivial to get root back. Follow these steps and you should be fine.
NOTE: For those who want to wipe data anyway (or have to because they're having problems), Titanium Backup is currently not working properly with MJA. The workaround is to manually install your apps from the Play Store and then restore just the data from Titanium Backup. Restoring the apps themselves through Titanium Backup causes problems at the moment.

You WILL Knox Warranty Void with this method.

Is there a workaround for tripping Knox?

Not yet. A method will probably be developed, but it will involve flashing a custom kernel that doesn't require the new bootloader. The version of MJA would have to have this kernel included. The stock kernel seems to not boot without the new bootloader. You will have to keep using a custom kernel from that point onward.

Sorry, where do I find the OTA MJA update?

For those of us new to Odin, can we get a screenshot of what should and shouldn't be checked?
Edit: Nothing NEEDS to be checked.
Checking Auto Reboot does just that, but doesn't seem to work for me.
Checking R.Flash Time resets a counter, not a big deal, either.
The rest uncheck.
Anyways, that all worked. I tried combining the Odin'ing of CF Root and recovery, until I saw that the CF-Auto-Root restores the old recovery as one of the steps...

with this method do we get the mja modem?
if the option available to go back to aosp 4.3 if we dont like it? 4.2 tw?

To be more specific, where is the OTA downloaded to?
I would like help with the file location also. Thanks.
FOUND IT in the Cache folder. You must allow root permissions in your file explorer.

Can I follow these steps if I have TWRP instead of stock recovery?
Also, what update for to apply?

After reading in this forum, non stop since Oct. 28, I took the plunge and did the dirty deed late last night with the downloadable OTA, after restoring to stock.
I woke up this morning and the Keebler elves hooked me up. I was fully rooted and all I had to do was reinstall Clockwork.
Mobile ODIN and SuperUser's Keep root are what's happening.
I have been looking for any glitches this morning but this thing runs perfect. I did see a security warning once that I assume is the Knox thingy I read so much about. Other than that, I'm gravy.
Now, can someone remind me why I upgraded?
I mean, what did I gain by leaping to 4.3? Is there something under the hood I ain't seeing?

Here's a link to the update zip directly from Google's servers: http://android.clients.google.com/p...CSB_user_RP_to_MJA_CSB_user_RP_Update_FWD.zip
You don't have to rename it, just put it on your external SD card and navigate to it in the stock recovery.

Just leave the default checked, and it will be fine. The only one that really matters is that re-partion is NOT checked.

Yes, you get the MJA modem as well. I believe AOSP 4.3 works fine with the new modem and bootloader, but I haven't tried it.

The OTA won't apply with TWRP. Follow the steps and you'll get the stock recovery back when you odin to stock MF9. You can then update to TWRP after re-rooting.

Were you coming from stock rooted MF9? Losing wifi is a common problem with anyone who didn't fully take the OTA.
There is a wifi fix in this thread that supposedly will cleanly apply to the stock kernel as well as the custom kernel listed, but I haven't tried it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=47030804&postcount=1638

I had to install this ROM twice via Odin3 to get stock recovery back.

This seems to be the only side affect of flashing to 4.3. I guess it's a Knox thing.

You could freeze the Knox apps (filter for them in titanium backup). I had no issues with knox until yesterday when I got a notification in the drawer when I used su (but su worked fine when this happened). I just froze all the apps with knox in the name and it's been fine since.
Also, there's a check box somewhere in the Android settings to tell it not to update the Knox list. I unchecked that as well.
