[Q] Question about BusyBox, and OTA Update, odin. - Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

First of all, i have Upgraded my sgs i9000 to android 2.2.1 ZSJPJ stock firmware using odin V7. The Root Checker state that " The busybox is installed correctly", But i din't root, why the busybox is there? Will the busybox effect the OTA Update?
Next, How do odin V7 work? Did it perform clean install on sgs? I have ticked the "re-partition", just not sure...
About the OTA Update, How it actually work? Did it work as like the samsung Kies? every time i check for update it state " No Update Available", i admit that the android 2.3.3 is still not available on asia. So it means that the OTA update is still working right?

Any guidelines?

Where did you download stock firmware?Ramad is deodexin firmware and have root did you download from there?OTA update never works.try some software that need root to work and you will be promted to ggrant superuser access.offcourse you need superuser app.then you will know that you root.

OTA never in use yet by Samsung or networks .
Firmware you installed has root in it .

no update via KIES or OTA

Hi, as you can see on the screenshot, I'm on KL8
But KIES don't want to update my Note, it says my device is not compatible with update via KIES (KIES itself is up to date with new instal )
And on the phone, when i'm searching for update, it says no update available.
I WANT ISC STOCK...
What should I do ? Reflash stock ROM and KERNEL ? Which version ? I'm a bit lost...
Thanks a lot
ICS OTA is currently being rolled out in Germany only...where r u located?
Your device does not support software upgrading via kies:

Received an F/W update from Samsung Yesterday!!! India

Hi All,
Im on the Official ICS ROM INDIA...4.0.3 DDLP4
Yesterday, when i checked kies, there was an update waiting (No Update on OTA). The downloading of firmware was taking ages to download(3.2mbps connection) and after about 70 percent the downloading stopped and Kies said "Connection stopped"....
Any body who has downloaded the F/W can you please post the change log (If you find any).. I mainly wanna know, if the laggness of the lock screen and slowness to open contact's and capturing pics has been rectified.

Ah glad that i have company.sad at the same time!! Even i have the same problem after the 7mb OTA update. The andriod process closes often and hangs the phone.The phone was literally unusable. Hence i tried to install custom gingerbread rom on it. Now its almost completely bricked.How irresponsible is samsung to roll these things out without testing it thoroughly.
***PLEASE DON'T INSTALL THE 7MB ICS OTA UPDATE***
hopefully we can save some.
I also tried to update through OTA but it was failed and message popped up that do update through Kies. Now I got update through Kies and my firmware changed from DDLP4 to DDLPA. However I lost Root.
I also received the update notification. Downloaded the 7.8 mb update within a minute and asked for reboot. Everything worked fine and nothing special noticed. It just changed the build no. from IML74K.DDLPA to IML74K.DDLP8

you mean LP8 to LPA? check your kernel version date. if it shows 12 June then fine, else your kernel has not been updated.
Hey guys basically its stability update. my phone feels much smoother now. i updated OTA via wifi, i also faced update not installed issue and i found out the problem, basically we all root our device that means we change SU binaries so when updating phone OTA it checks for those binaries and if these binaries are not official OTA update get aborted. i solved this problem like this,
1) I have downloaded STOCK LP8 firmware from samobile.com when it released
2) As my phone is rooted my SU binaries are changed so OTA update is aborted.
3) So FLASHED Stock rom LP8 from PC ODIN which kept my all DATA, APPS intact i just lost my root and some mods like 15toggles status bar and so..
4)then i started updating my phone using S/W update in settings, its 7.85MB file.
5)In few minutes my phone is updated to LPA
6)Now i again rooted my phone and my all data apps are intact and mob is much improved in stability.
Hope this will help you guys.

kernel is definitely updated in LPA. just flash LPA ROM file using Odin.
I also agree with what mullarameez has pointed out. rooting might be the reason for kernel being skipped. because if u flash LPA with odin you will lose root and hence get the new kernel.
Is there a way to update Kernel without flashing the whole 650 mb rom?
with all the issues in ICS, i think it would be safest if you would flash using the whole LPA ROM. I know its a pain to download but worth it in the end.
OMG! just a 7Mb update took 2hrs to download.. Hmmmm...
My main prob was with Lock screen, camera and contacts.. Noting has been resolved on this new Update!!!
what is the issue? is it lag?
This is confusing..
I have everything stock on my phone..All updates done OTA since i bought the phone..Not rooted..
Still the kernel says 12 May after the 7mb update..Why?? Although the deep sleep issue (sore point for me) seems to have been resolved after this update...
PS: The build info after *#1234# says 12 June, if that matters..
yes, almost all the users who updated OTA have the same issue. you may flash the new LPA using PC Odin from doc's post (anyways you're not rooted so no problem)

Does anyone know if Samsung is planing on releasing 4.4.2 for the Samsung Galaxy S4 Active i9295 i can't seem to find any news regarding update for this this one.
Also, does anyone know if there is a stable custom ROM for i9295 ? i tried carbon but the camera didn't work, so i returned to rooted stock ROM 4.2.2
It would be good if anyone could share a stable custom ROM for Samsung Galaxy S4 Active i9295 with the camera and most features as possible working (doesn't matter if it's 4.3 or 4.4.
Thanks all
From what I know from Samsung they still working on 4.4.2 for I9295. We have to wait.
There's some drivers problems with camera that's why it doesn't work as on stock Rom. That's problems of every Custom Rom that I saw.
typed from dark room
Thanks ewa12321 I guess we will have to keep on waiting. If anyone hears anything about releasing date for 4.4.2 for s4 active i9295 please spread the word.

Hey guys, the update is out for the i9295 officially! Unfortunately, you can only get it in the Netherlands right now, and will probably be out around the world in a couple of weeks. If you are impatient like me, you can try flashing the update yourself and relieve that suffering! I can't post the link where I got my update as I am a nub and Mr xda does not want spamming, but a simple Google search can get you to the tutorial on flashing this update using Odin. Also, I am not sure if this will void the warranty as it is the official update but it is being manually flashed. This update should work on any i9295 factory unlocked version.
good luck!
S4 Active i9295 on stock 4.4.2
hello,
does anyone know how to root S4 Active i9295 on stock 4.4.2 ? i used to be rooted on 4.2.2 but was not getting updates OTA, so i re-installed stock 4.2.2 via Odin and updated to 4.4.2 OTA now that i've done this, my phone has knox, anyway i have installed CWM-Recovery-gt-i9295_v1-2.tar.md5 via Odin, but when i try to flash CF-Auto-Root.tar it doen't work, i'm thinking maybe now that i am on 4.4.2 they way to root the phone may be different, any help anyone can provide would be much appreciated.

S4 Active i9295 on stock 4.4.2 with knox
Hello,
In order to root your 4.4.2 OTA Update, I would recommend reflashing it clean using Odin.
Then download CWM 6.0.4.8 with Swipe by mythi and flash it using Odin. Then download SuperSU v1.99 from chainfire's website or the dev forums and flash the zip file using CWM. Now reboot your device and you are fully rooted.
When you first open SuperSU on your device it will ask you if you want to disable KNOX, just hit Yes.
Good day!

Has anyone done this and does it work... After that can i flash stock jb rom with odin.
And are the instructions for s4 active international ( nordic ) version.
Yes I have done it.
I also have the NEE (Nordic) S4 Active, I tried both with the Stock 4.4.2 NEE from Samfirmware.com and the PHN 4.4.2 ROM of mythi's.
I am now running CarbonRom 4.4.2, and also tried to restore 4.2.2 Stock.
The only downside being that if you install 4.4.2 and restore a custom ROM after that you will get a red line when booting saying "KERNEL IS NOT SEANDROID ENFORCING".
So you can go ahead full speed and try it, works like a charm!

Okay!
My problem is that only updates what i have installed are samsung stock updates, so i haven't never used odin or flashed anything in my phone.
After i updatet my phone to 4.4,2. ( i think it was last week) some of apps stopped to work
Now i'd like to downgrade it back.
I found some instructions that only thing that i have to do is flsh 4.2.2 with odin and i'm back to jb.... it did not work. And now i' back to kk...
But if i use your instructions to root my stock 4.4,2 and after that i flash stock 4.2,2 NEE Rom i' m back to JB.
Can you also type simplified instructions (with downloadlinks) how to do it... it's my first time.
Thanks so much!!!
revert to 4.2.2
hello,
i have a GT-I9295
i have updated from 4.2.2 to 4.4.2 PDA: I9295XXUCNH2 released 7 aug. via odin 3.09
had to do a factory reset to get wifi working, etc..
i then wanted to revert back to 4.2, but i couldn't, and still can't... i did the following:
- flash with odin the 4.2 from sammobile: error: NAND Write Start!!.....<ID:0/004> Complete(Write) operation failed. soft brik, Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again.
- tried to reflash the 4.4 firmware i already had with odin...same error.
- couldnt boot the phone again untill i flashed cwm 6.0.5.0
- installed carbon rom from cwm no problem. did reset, wipe cahe, format system, etc. i now have the not seandroid enforcing message when booting and entering recovery, but everything works.
- tried to flash again with odin the 4.2 official, still no luck. same error right after nand write.
i remember downgrading from 4.4 PDA: I9295XXUCNE4 to 4.2 PDA: I9295XXUBML3 with no problems a while back on my other i9295 via odin.
is the bootloader different in this version of 4.4 i flashed than the one i flashed a while back?
the weird thing is that i get the same write failure with reflashing 4.4 with odin.
any thoughts?
thank you

The odin firmware would not affect knox only the deodexed one will but in order to flash the deodexed version you first have to get the lollipop bootloader by flashing the odin version or look around the forum for the bootloader the only way to enjoy lollipop update is by a custom rom so I would worry about knox.lol

I solved the battery drain i was having. Did a fresh clean install of the straight deodexed stock from here, and then for good measure because I had read something about it, I froze the 2 software update and the fw upgrade app in Titanium Backup. Now the standby drain is gone! I'm sure I could get the same results on Candypop now [emoji106]
Got it off of SamMobile last night.. Installed today and it runs SMOOTH! Smoother than the Korean one I had from last month
thank you for your work. I downloaded the Deodexed version but root is unavailable as it states (rooted). Did i miss a step or something? I flashed it with TWRSP and checked with root checker "it says no root.
