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)

[Q] Help with JB OTA and JB ROM

I'm currently running latest Eclipse ICS ROM with SS v3.11. Just started getting "com.process.google.gapps has stopped" and "Google Play services have stopped" error messages nonstop, constant. Tried a couple recommended fixes, didn't work. Had been fine with Eclipse ROM up to this point but decided it's time to upgrade to JB.
So...
Booted in stock ROM slot via SS. Downloaded the OTA update, tried installing 3 different times. Upon reboot, all three times said the update failed.
First question: I assume I need the JB OTA update prior to flashing a JB ROM, correct? If so, any reason why the update is failing to install? Will I have to do anything with root and SS prior to and/or after OTA update?
Second question: Once I get the OTA to install, which Bionic JB ROM has proven most stable? I want few frills, fast, simple, clean. Any recommendations?
Really appreciate any help and advice, thanks as always all!

If anyone's curious, figured it out. Uninstalled recovery in stock rom, saved root with voodoo, installed 4.1.2 OTA manually.

[Q] eclipse 2.1 rom?? question

hello, i have locked moto and wonder do i need 4.2.2 root to install this rom or 4.4 cause i get bootloop after installing the rom.

Are you currently running jellybean? Sounds like you are not running the KitKat kernel.

Same Bootloop
Hey Nitro,
Moto X VZW Dev.Ed.
Unlocked BL
TWRP 2.6.3.1
Stock rom 4.4.2
SuperSU
Rom Toolbox Pro for my needs
Had Eclipse installed and was running great. Screen started to flash between operations and loading apps. Thought it was just a misbehaving app, deleted everything I installed and it kept happening. Reinstalled the Eclipse ROM, no-joy. So I brought the phone back to complete stock. I was running on stock for about a week, the OTA came for 4.4.2 and I took it.
Flashed TWRP and installed SU again. When I go to install Eclipse 3.3.2 it shows that everything is loading correctly (love the "mounting your system like a horse"). When it restarts itself it gets stuck in a bootloop with just the Eclipse image. I've left the phone alone for a half hour at a time and it never completes (at 45 minutes on the latest install attempt). Downloaded from the primary and mirror and tried those, same issue, tried it dirty at first, then wiped the dalvik/cache. I've read the main ROM thread - nothing that I could find where someone got stuck in a bootloop like this. Just wanted to pick your brain and see what you thought.
^^^It's long, my bad. I just wanted to make sure you had every detail possible.
Really appreciate it, it's a great ROM when I don't jack things up.

Did you do a factory reset wipe? Also, are you running the 4.4.2 kernel?

[Q] Unofficial CM11 Problem

Hi.
I have just flashed the unofficial CM11 rom on the Original Android Development Forum on my TF701T. The install appears to have been successful however the system keeps freezing anwhere from 1 minute to 5 minutes after boot. Before it freezes everything appears to be working as it should. Any ideas what I have done wrong and what I have to do to fix this? Apologies if the same issue has been raised elsewhere.
Many thanks

Are you on the correct bootloader 10.26.1.18 as is required?

I've not heard of this ocurring (my own tab has been running for a while now; no issues of this sort).
Are you on the latest ROM build (01/29)? Have you flashed the appropriate gapps?
Are you on the latest boot loader?
Any apps installed which could cause issue?
If it happens when plugged in to USB, is isb OK on your PC/Mac?
Have you used titanium backup to restore system level stuff from a non compatible build?
Do this,
Go back to stock (latest release from asus) and observe for an hour or two. Any issues? If not then flash ROM + gapps and wipe. Don't sign in and don't restore apps. Any issues? Then sign in and restore. Any issues? And so on and so forth until.you find the break point.

Thank you for your prompt responses as always and apologies for not replying sooner.
SDbags I am installing CM11 over your own excellent 4.3+ stock rooted v2 ROM which I believe involved updating my boot loader. I am unsure how to confirm the version I am on but booting into recovery shows the following
Android Macallan-user BL released by ww_epad-10.26.1.7-20131108.
Pershoot once the new CM11 was first flashed the TF701 would freeze during the setup steps well before any 3rd party apps could be installed. After a number of attempts I manage to get through set up and the system becomes a lttle more stable but then freezes after a few more minutes. I can conform that the correct gapps has been flashed using the link on the associated thread and no additional apps except the ones included on the ROM have been flashed. The system freezes without being plugged into the PC via USB and as mentioned before I am coming from sdbags stock rooted 4.3 ROM and have not used titanium back up at all.
A couple of additional point
1) I have tried to reflash sdbags ROM again but it now gets stuck on a bootloop.
2) I noticed that my install of CM11 is not able to access either an SD card placed in the dock or MicroSD placed in the tab despite the system recognising when they are inserted or removed on the task bar.
3) Because the system freezes so quickly it tabvery difficult to transfer a new ROM downloaded to my PC over to the TF701 because the moment it freezes the PC can't communicate with the tab.
Apologies if this reply is a little onerous - any help would be greatly appreciated and thank you both again for your prompt response to my.request for help.
Kind regards,
East

Hold down Volume Down and Power and read the bootloader version from the top left.

That's the wrong BL to be on. I don't believe sdbags' ROM updates BL. You must do it via Asus's update.
Go back to stock recovery and follow asus's procedure to update yourself to their latest 10.26.1.18 (4.3) build.

Dear SD Bags & Pershoot,
Apologies for not responding to your feedback sooner - Its been a busy week at work.
I will follow your advise and update the bootloader via the ASUS website and try to reinstall the rom again over the weekend or early next week and I will update this thread with the results. Once again apologies for not following the instructions more carefully.
Many thanks & kind regards,
East

Hi felIas.
I have updated the bootloader as I should have done initially which appears to have sent me back to stock unrooted 4.3. Please could you confirm that all I need to do now is install the recovery image and then flash CM11 and GApps? Does the rom file work the same way as SDbags rom where it also roots the phone as part of the installation or do I need to somehow root first?
Having said all this I am considering leaving the system as stock until a work around for sky go on rooted 4.4.2 devices is found!
Many thanks again for your guidance and patience.

I have a work around for Sky Go on rooted devices You didn't ask.
PM Please.

Hey there I was wondering if anyone else is experiencing my problem. I updated to CM11 on my TF701 and while the dock and keyboard works some of the keys are dead i.e. Settings button, toggle wifi, toggle bluetooth, screenshot, disable trackpad, and auto brightness. Is there any way to fix this? I have tried editing the qwerty files and installing the asus keyboard apk, but neither worked. The APK did not install and editing the qwerty.kl file quite literally did nothing. Also curious if there is a way to get an external mouse to behave the way it did on JB left click is a standard touch and right click is back?

Kernel needs recompiling with fixes in it - not a huge job but something I have on my todo list - won't be for a while though.

Is there a thread I can subscribe to to get the latest news??

Phone hot, CPU stays high frequency

I have an att xt1097 unlocked with sunshine. I installed the debloated stock marshmallow ROM for xt1097 (from Brazil I think) ROM was great, no problems, I got bored installed a cm based ROM, again, everything great. Then I installed some different kernels, ending back up on the stock based ROM running the krait kernel, but now, my CPU all cores never dip below 1000 MHz and the phone stays hot. I have done a complete wipe, reinstalling the stock based xt1097 ROM several times,yet the problem persists. Anyone got any ideas, or know of a script or program to get rid of residual scripts or anything that may be causing my issue? I am away from a PC, won't be near one for days to be able to do a complete wipe of all my downloaded files and everything.
