Rogers OTA

Hey,
I got an update notification this morning on Rogers. It is 86mb. I dont know what is new since i didnt install. Can I install over top of Clockwork recovery? If not how do I put stock recovery back on (Prefer not having to wipe data).
Thanks,
-Luke

Also received one on Telus gonna unroot first, apply and get back as soon as I can

Do you have cwm? Can I just flash the root without screwing up the flash counter again ?

I received one on Telus this morning as well. I didn't download b/c I'm not on wifi, but I'm curious as to what it is.

I downloaded the update but could not install it since I don't have the stock recovery. It tries to boot into the stock recovery but because I have TWRP installed it booted into that. I'll try a Kies update later to see if that works.

I got my notice and automatic download for mine as well on the Bell network. Samsung Canada along with the main carriers have put out the new I747MVLALH1 Firmware. Our OTA updates are smaller and will very by carrier because they only contain the files that need to be updated rather then the whole firmware itself.
This is very good news for all us Canadian 747 users because the LH1 Modem along with the firmware changes include a great deal of proformance/bug fixes, our launch firmware with our phones was kinda the ****s to say the least so this new one should really help out.
As for keeping root. I am using SuperSU root paid for the Pro version which has a Root keeper funtion in it when you update via OTA. However the update does require the stock recovery so if you have flashed CWM recovery you will need to flash the stock one back first then apply the update.
Just finishing my phone backup atm to my computer then will try the OTA Root Keeper and see how well it works out for me.

Any chance someone could post the modem I747MVLALH1?

I'm still home and downloading as we speak. I will cancel before the installation and if its still not posted online by the time I get to work, I will upload it somewhere.
BTW, the Rogers update is the same size. I have a feeling this update will include the removal of Universal search.

I updated via the OTA, I try'd out Chainfires SuperSU Pro version which has a Root Keeper function to maintain root while updating on OTA, it did not work for our Canadian Models unfortunately but that is okay it is an experimental function anyways. At any rate I simpled flash CWM and push the SuperSU root app back onto my phone via CWM just fine to retain my root, and you can quickly and easily use chainfires Triangle away app to reset your flash counters.
Everything has worked fine for me. I am using the new LH1 firmware on my Bell phone and I am completed Rooted ^_^
For those less experianced and dont mind waiting for a root injected rom that is all good. For others you can take the steps I did and so far so good OMG I am loving LH1 over what we got out of the box!

You can also get the rogers and telus update through samsung-updates.com. ot will be a odin flash. I will do a modem cwm zip when i get home from work.

Is there a way to restore stock recovery? I'm asking because I have a backup of my touchwiz rom (currently running cm10) and I want to restore to that to get the OTA

I'm on rogers and it says there's no update. I want a brightness slider! I've missed it from my crappy on aokp. But I get my computer back this week. Time to play again.

Yes there is, one way is to flash the stock rogers odin firmware. It can be found at samsung-updates.com. the stock software has the stock recovery

[Q] (question) rooting and stock rom

hi...
i am planning on rooting my SGN2 this weekend but i have some questions in my mind i wanna clear up first
1. if i root my SGN2 (JB 4.1.1), and still use stock rom, will i get OTA updates or will i need to unroot?
2. if i root my SGN2 (JB 4.1.1), and still use stock rom, will i lose any stock functions or will it just be the same as an UNROOTED SGN2?
3. are there any known issues of rooting SGN2 and stay on Stock rom?
4. if i root my SGN2 (JB 4.1.1), and still use stock rom, will there be any differences from my UNROOTED STOCK rom, from a ROOTED STOCK rom? what are they?
thanks guys, and more power..
hope to hear some replies

1. rooting will break OTA, sometimes unrooting with factory reset needs to get OTA, so i straight way like to say, don't expect OTA too simple if you want to root. and be prepared for flashing full ROM with Odin
2.You won't lose function but learning hub OR skyGo and some banking application known to stop working as long as you have rooted device.
3.Rooting voids warranty, and you have to unroot (as well reset counter,if you have it raised)before sending to service station.

thank you...
ok, so if i root my SGN2 (JB 4.1.1), then an update comes out for example, 4.1.2, i will have to
1. unroot, (which is no problem)
and 2. factory reset, which will cause me to lose all my data and back ups? which can be trouble some
am i understanding it right?
and what do you mean by "and be prepared for flashing full ROM with Odin" i wont get to keep stock rom?

Just use CF root,flash with Odin now you will be rooted on stock rom if you want to update to 4.1.2 just download the FW from sammobile,go ahead and flash it using Odin again now you will be no longer rooted. But before you flash the stock FW be sure to reset the counters(triangle away)
And yes a factory reset you will loose everything.you will not loose whats on your external memory card
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app

factory reset you will lose data but once you are rooted, there is lot option to backup, titanium is one of best.
"and be prepared for flashing full ROM with Odin" means in any case you won't get update, you can anytime download full ROM and flash it with odin. when OTA release, sametime you can also find full ROM for that update.

For your current version method 3 in thread i said you (post#2)
That even won't raise counter and you need not to use triangle away.
In future when you update to 4.1.2, method 3 won't work.

just last question, (i will root later , cannot wait)
last question is...
after using "ExynosAbuse apk" to root like you said, what is next step to update Firmware to 4.1.2?
and for example, if v4.1.3 comes out, what method will i use to update again since i did not use odin to flash rom and u said "In future when you update to 4.1.2, method 3 won't work. "
thank you very much...
you are kind to reply and spend time with a noob like me...
a billion thanks to you...

You can unroot from exynos abuse and try to get ota
If fails try wiping data and most probably you should get ota, but remember i said most probably, i have seen case after wiping you may fail to get ota, in that case you will have only option to update is odin (you may try Kies too)
When new update will available most probably other methods should work(as of now other both method works till rom released today) , but when there is no 4.1.3,it is difficult to say, so stay tuned to thread I mentioned few post back.

how do i back up my phone? i did not install cwm recovery here so i cannot have nandroid backup right? well how do i back it up if ever things get messed up..
what backup recovery do i have if i use method 3?
thanks...

If you want nandroid backup then you have to use method 2
Otherwise with just root, you can backup your data with titanium backup or other similar application.

Flash the latest stock rom should be dll7 or newer. Then use cfautoroot.
If an update comes out in future then do a factory reset and flash stock rom.

You have to go back to a stock UNROOTED rom. Without TWRP or anything.
Then you download the OTA update.
In in the stock recovery boot.
Then once the OTA update applies you can root and do whatever.

Download the third one Down that says all in one firmware and flash in TWRP. That is the modem and other things for ma7. Then download either the first or second link depending on if u want odex or deodexed rom. If u don't want any themes then go odex. Then flash that in TWRP wiping cache and dalvik. Then u are on ma7.

Exactly. Unless you install a rom that has the latest update built in the only way to take the actual ota from Sprint/Samsung is to unroot and install stock recovery. Before you unroot you need to make sure that your binary counter isn't more than one. If you don't know what that is then run the app "triangle away". If your counter is more than 2 you'll need to run it that many times till it's back to 1. After that you need to unroot preferably with something like supersu that can clean everything up before unrooting. Then you have to flash it back to stock recovery. There is a tutorial video in galaxynote2root.com. I had to do this to mine since I was just rooted with stock rom and didn't feel like installing a rom with the update already in it. Good luck

OTA
Just search xda for the modded OTA update files and then flash them through TWRP

This is so confusing. I have searched everywhere and the help on this is so limited. Can someone who successfully updated their note 2 to ma7 please do a walkthrough on how they did it. And please do it for us 5 year olds without acronyms and such.

Where do you find the modded ota update?

So you downloaded the latest OTA and it did not affect root ??

still getting ota notification
flashed the all-one , and the odexed ma7 rom, the phone shows that I am running 4.1.2 but I am still getting the ota notification that I have an update downloaded and ready to install.
Any ideas on what went wrong or how to stop the notification???

Don't quote me on this, but from what I have read, On a custom recovery it will fail when trying to install and never show you the notification message again for you to install again. Try and see, worst case scenario it will not install and no harm no fowl.

[ROM/RESTORE] [AT&T/ROGERS/TELUS/BELL]Return to UNROOTED STOCK WITH FLASH COUNT RESET

[ROM/RESTORE] [AT&T/ROGERS/TELUS/BELL]Return to UNROOTED STOCK WITH FLASH COUNT RESET
IF YOU HAVE TAKEN THE OTA TO STOCK TW 4.3 DO NOT USE THIS!! IT WILL CAUSE A HARD BRICK!!
I'll try to keep this simple.
So here it goes, short but sweet...
This is a Single recovery flashed file restore to UNROOTED STOCK with STOCK KERNEL, STOCK RECOVERY, MODEM, and Normal System Status with a Flash Counter at 0. Basically a replacement for the odin tar method for a quick on-the-go restore. This is the go-to file for a last minute trip to the at&t store or for unbricking without the need for a pc or ODIN. Plan on selling to buy something newer? Flash this to restore your s3 to an out of the box ota-ready state for the buyer. This will do what odin does with the addition of resetting the flash count during flash. This WILL NOT touch internal storage!
To keep a custom recovery flash one from below after rom flash before rebooting into the system.
To keep root access flash this after install BEFORE rebooting into system.
As with just about any rom you'll find posted on these forums, wipe data/factory reset prior to flashing and FLASH AT YOUR OWN RISK as I am not responsible for anything you do to your phone.
Special thanks to @mrksbrd for helping me bring this to the AT&T variant, @Turbojugend for helping me bring this to BELL, @FabC87 for helping me bring this to TELUS, @gutlessmerc for helping me bring this to the 32gb ROGERS variant and @tobesedated for helping me bring it to the 16gb ROGERS variant.

PM me if you own a 32gb or 64gb and are interested in helping me bring this to those devices.
Flash one of these to keep a custom recovery
Flash to keep root

Another awesome job bro, works like a charm. Way better than using ODIN with the added benefit of resetting the flash counter

I'm afraid you need a PC. You don't actually have to be rooted you only need a custom recovery. You also need a PC to do that tho.

I would assume you speaking of the micro end and not the USB port on the computer side? If that's the case will ODIN recognize a com port while in download mode? If your able to do that you will be able to flash a insecure boot image thus allowing ADB commands or use the toolbox in this forum to flash a recovery script. Of your able to do any of these we can get you going again.

Thanks for that...I think the error might have been in what I supplied you so sorry for that and I'll try again when you have it fixed..

Any chance of getting this for a Bell phone?

Not able to flash recovery.. help please

Hello all,
I was hoping one of you can help me. I purchased an s4 m919 yesterday from Tmobile. It is fully stock and it arrived with 4.2.2 M919UVUAMDL.
I am no stranger to the world of rooting,roms and cwm. I had an s2 back in the day so I am no stranger to odin either. Basically my goal is this:
1. Install CWM
2. Backup Stock FW in CWM
3. Install Custom rom from dev section
My process with odin is as follows:
make sure all is UNchecked except auto reboot.
place appropriate cwm tar in "pda" section
click start.
The process begins and instead of passing it fails. My phone also softbricks and I have to restore with kies.
I've already restored and bricked once thinking that maybe the first time was a bad download.
I have no ideas. I've googled and searched on xda and nobody seems to have a problem flashing recovery.
Let me know if more info is required.
Thanks,
frustrated and confused

Are you rooted? Try installing through the Rom Manager app itself?

After you have rooted download cwm from market and follow the prompt's once clock work mod has flashed do a backup and you will need to download ad away by chain fire this will reset the flash counter and once that is done enjoy flashing

Well it looks like ive run into a more immediate problem. Like i said I tried it once and it bricked I succesfully recovered with kies. I tried another download and the same thing happened. I went to restore with kies and now im getting an error in kies about 70% in. I need to go to emergency recovery and I do and that errors out. If problem persists contact samsung. Great.... I'm going to try and restore to stock using odin but my phone just seems to hate odin.
Edit: i tried restoring stock image in odin and fails almost right away. what is with this phone ?!

Try another USB port, and stock USB cable if you aren't using it. If you are grab a different cable and try it. If still errors out try another computer.

From my understanding you should have auto reboot UNchecked when Odin flashing CWM. Pretty sure you're supposed to leave everything unchecked and then after it's finished you unplug, pull the battery and then turn on the phone. Looks like your problem is before this though, so I would try another computer and make sure that you're using the stock cable.

No I am not rooted and prefer not to be on stock since I want to just back it up and install a custom rom anyways.

Yes I think so I don't think having auto reboot checked would cause it to fail so bluntly. Am i just destined for a stock sgs4? Times like these makes me miss my nexus 4. I wish the damn thing hadn't broken=( oh well.. let me know if you have more questions.

Just follow a video step by step if anything. I prefer TWRP over CWM. If you do use TWRP make sure you use version 2.5.0.2 as 2.6 has been having problems!

I'm the opposite. I like cwm the best. I have watched a video honestly. I have done it step by step. do you think it could be the recovery? meaning, i'd have better luck with twrp? I'll try it tonight, I can't afford to be breaking my phone during business hours lol. People have been trying to call me lol.

I know it's that easy. that's exactly what I do. it fails everytime and softbricks my phone. Let me as this, is there a need to unlock the bootloader?
