Uploaded stock VRBMB1 OTA zip. Will post modified OTA later today.
Forgot to set permissions to "anyone with the link" for the unsigned VRBMB1 ota zip. Fixed.
Hi, just have a quick question, if I have MA2 rooted, no unlock, what's the best way to update to MB1? Thanks
I am having an issue with my phone. I have been using your method to upgrade since the beginning. The other day I had an issue with my phone and had to restore a pervious backup I had which was pretty old (VRALHE). I know I should of back up more often but to late for that.
It works fine on VRALHE but then when I flash VRBLK3. All the google apps (maps, gmail, chrome, etc.) freezes the phone and causes it to restart.
The radio I have is VRBLK3 I don't know if it is an issue trying to flash to VRBLK3 while already having the new radio. Do I need to flash back to an older radio? If so does anyone have a link to download?
You'll have to download and flash a full MB1 ROM. The modified OTA update zips are meant only to update stock builds, not leaked builds, that have been rooted, bootloader unlocked, custom recovery installed, Google Wallet and the associated NFC libraries installed, etc., since they are just the official OTA with some updater-script modifications.
Hello 'cj64'. You seem to know what you're talking about so I have a few questions for you so I DO NOT BRICK my phone. :crying:
First, let me tell you the current status of my phone. I was flashed to 'Wicked Sensation' and flashed back to Stock and remain ROOTED. Note... I am currently on Android Recovery.
P.S. ~ I would greatly appreciate 'Step-by-Step instructions. So I do not bother you and make any mistakes and BRICK my phone.
- Now, I would like to change my Recovery to TWRP Recovery, but how?
- If I was 'Unlocked' prior to flashing back to Stock ROM am I still 'Unlocked'?
Thank you in advance for your prompt reply and assistance. :angel:
Follow section 1 to root

If you are already rooted and just need to unlock bootloader start at step 9
*This works with all current Stock 4.0.4 ICS builds...VRALF2, VRALG1, VRALG7, VRALHD, and VRALHE.
With that being said... Is it safe for me to follow the steps in section one (1)?
Also, it seems that I am not ROOTED, because I tried the 'Unlock' step (In Section 9) and got a message stating to check if I am. It's weird, because when I clicked on 'Root Checker' it states that I am.
Hello Again and thank you for replying to my message. I really appreciate your prompt reply.
Just to be sure and let you know... I currently have "VRBMB1" Build. The link states that ~

Maybe you didn't give the app permssion. Re install app, or wipe its Data and try again.

Hello Again.
This post is to let everyone know that I fixed my issue by following the steps ~ HERE.
Now, I am searching for a GOOD ROM that supports my Model number (SCH-I535) and Android version (4.1.2).
P.S. ~ Suggestions are very much welcomed!
I'n wondering if some body can help me out. I have VZW S3 with I535VRALHE. I'm rooted, but not unlocked and don't have custom recovery installed. I just want to install the latest jb 4.1.2.
Should I just use ota files or v1? Which file should I use? Do I install it with odin or just put it on sd card, reboot into samsung recovery and install from sd card?
Thanks
Q: It's not working by flashing via recovery! I get something like this:
assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device") == "d2vzw" || getprop("ro.build.product") == "d2vzw"
E: error in /emmc/VRLHD.modem.zip
(status 7)
A: It's failing the assert. These check what device you have and older versions of clockworkmod didn't have the proper device in there. Update your recovery first. EZ Recovery can do this for you or you can grab something from here: http://goo.im/devs/invisiblek/i535/recoveries then try again
