Cant install OTA update from AT&T - AT&T, Rogers, Bell, Telus Samsung Galaxy S III

I tried numerous times and cant get this thing to work! I tried flashing stock recovery to get OTA. I can download the update but once it starts to install it gets to 32% everytime and fails. I also used OTA rootkeeper. I was trying to test this out to see if i can do it so once JB comes out i would have no problem. I also tried to Kies but it says i'm on the latest firmware which is not true. Any ideas as to why i'm having such an issue with this update? I am running factory rom rooted..... Any ideas?

Since you are rooted..hope you have cwm..go into recovery mode..clear cache,clear dalvik cache,and flash the current rom that you are using again..or download the latest stock rom and flash it manually..

If you want theupdate, there is a cwm flashable zip in the General sub forum

Clockworkmod Recovery doesnt install roms

Hi Guys.
Clockwork doesnt seem to install any roms on my GT-19082l for some reason.

Take the recovery .tar file from here according to your firmware (4.1.2 or 4.2.2) : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2315529
Then follow this step by step instructions : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=46395577&postcount=19
This will have to be done each time you flash a firmware through Odin.
If after flashing you get a bootloop, simply boot into recovery and clear cache and dalvik cache and you'll be good :good:

Sorry for the late reply, been busy with school.
But will this work with the GT-i9082l? I know some firmware doesn't work with other variants of this phone.
Also I have ClockworkMod Recovery 6.0.4.4 and I was trying to flash Cyanogen Mod 10.1 for the Grand.

Yea same will work for i9082L, just make sure the recovery you are using is compatible with 4.1.2 or 4.2.2, whichever you are flashing it on.
You can flash CM10.1 through any recovery you are using (but CM10.1 only works on 4.1.2 firmware)

Could I Put this on the sdcard instead of the internal memory?
Also this is what it says when ever i try to flash CM 10.1 or any other ROM
Finding update package...
Opening update Package...
Installing update...
Install from sdcard complete.
Then when I reboot the phone it stays at the Samsung Galaxy Grand page.

Yes you can put it on sd card.
Make sure you are on 4.1.2 before installing CM10.1, if you are not that's the reason for your bootloop.
And wipe data/cache/dalvik before flashing CM10.1 or any other ROM.
Still doesnt work. :crying:
It was stock 4.1.2, then I tried to update it to 4.2.2 using ODIN but it failed (This is the reason why i'm trying to install CM 10.1).
Is the phone 4.2.2 or 4.1.2?

Your firmware flash failed in the middle? If this happened you need to reflash the 4.1.2 firmware before you can flash any ROM on it.

Help Soft Brick and cant find files needed

I was on the omni rom and decided to change my recovery when this happened.
It wouldnt boot past the samsung screen. I cannot get into recovery but I can get into download mode.
I know one possible fix is flashing the stock image through Odin but I cannot find the stock images. All the links are dead.
Anything will help.
Also if there is anybody willing to walk me through this real time, feel free to message me and we can chat on google hangouts.

What recovery are you using ?
Since you can get in to recovery, did you try restoring any of your previous backups ?
Are you already on 4,3 bootloader ?
You can download thr stock 4.3 firmware from here : http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/?model=SGH-T889&pcode=0
You will need an account on sammobile though.

How did you flash T889UVALL4 ?
Most likely your phone is on a newer(4.3) bootloader and flashing an older bootloader caused the boot loop.
I am very certain that flashing 4.3 stock image will resolve this problem.

That might be it, since I was on 4.4.2 before. Do you know if there are better hosting sites for the download file because the ones on that site take 6 hours to download.

Did you mean 4.1.2 or were you running a custom ROM as there is no official 4.2.1 for the i747? How did you download and flash the 4.3 ROM?
Can you try booting into recovery and doing a hard wipe/reset from there? If this doesn't solve it, then you may need to restore the system image via custom recovery.

The 623mb file sounds like the stock image for (official) OTA updates. Most likely it was downloaded and flashed as a zip via recovery. I'm not quite sure it works that way.
Salahddine, since you can get into download and recovery modes, your best option now may be to do a complete stock restore via custom recovery. See the thread below for instructions. You may need to first flash custom recovery although I'd guess you probably have custom recovery installed already.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2658486
Download the relevant file posted in the link to your phone's internal SD card or to an external micro SDHC card and place in your phone. Boot into recovery mode and flash the zip. Hopefully, this should fix it.

Sorry, my initial assessment was wrong. The 623MB zip you flashed was not the OTA file but the stock ROM which should have been flashed along with the modem and kernel zips at the same time. The reason for the initial failure was likely because you did not flash the kernel (and modem) zips. Glad to know it's working fine now.

Can someone please help walk me through a rooted GB27 to CyanogenMod 11?

So I've been at this for a while now. I've had no issue flashing to LiquidSmooth's Liquid-JB-v2.7-UNOFFICIAL-d710 Android 4.2.2, but I can't for the life of me get this thing to install a version of 4.3.x or 4.4.x.
Right now, I've rolled back to: Rwilco12's SPH-D710_GB27_1014481_Rooted_Nodata.exe Android 4.1.2.
I have CM 11, but when I try to install it using recovery mode, it errors out and aborts the install. All the instructions I find, keep telling me to install CM's 10.2 and then update the bootloader, but I can't find links to the old versions to any of these.
Is there anything in 4.3.x or 4.4.x that has a 1 click Odin install? Or can someone walk me through taking this thing from GB27 to something new? I believe it is rooted per Rwilco's image name.

Change the recovery that your using. What doesn't flash in ClockworkMod might flash perfectly in Philz Recovery or TWRP.
Sent from my 710C using XDA Free mobile app
I'm going to need more help with that aspect. I've tried that. I have TWRP in a zip file that I've tried to install. I downloaded TWRP Manager from the App store. I downloaded Rom manager. Nothing seems to be working. When I select reboot into recovery, it just goes to the stock android recovery and says it failed.
I am able to install E4GT-EL29-directbootCWM-v3.tar.md5
or StockCWM-EL26.tar.md5 using Odin, but no luck installing TWRP.
I'm sure I'm doing something wrong, but I have no idea what. This is likely a simple process, but I don't know which files or what order to do this in.
When I flash to E4GT-EL29-directbootCWM-v3.tar.md5 from Odin, it leaves me in recovery mode until I install LiquidSmooth 4.2.x.

Yeah? shoot me the link for one that is working. I was reading all night - most link to threads from 2013 with links that are all broken. You want to send me a working one - great
Most start from something newer, older, etc. Everything I found on GB27 didn't work. Right now, I'm on GB27, with an e3 recovery image from RWilco. I can use the guides to get me from there to Liquidsmooth 4.2.x, but any progress beyond that doesn't work, and I don't want to brick the phone.

Thanks, this got me through it. I ended up using philz_touch_6.15.9-d710.tar to install Cyanogen 11 and gapps for 4.4.2.
Should I be all done now, or would there be more things I'd have to install? I never did anything with the modem files. I also only plan on using this as a PDA so I'm not sure if that is needed.

If you never flashed anything modem-wise, then you're still running the GB27 (JB) modem. You'll need a Gingerbread or ICS modem only if you want working 3g data/MMS messaging.
Otherwise, JB modems shouldn't cause any problems that I know of.
