Is the file actually there but you aren't able to copy it over to external SD?

it is definitely there from what i can tell. It's named update.zip, it was modified today, and it is 614MB


maybe it wont let me grab it because the phone is on? should i power off and grab it via usb cable? currently trying to modify it via Root File Manager App.

Is it giving you any kind of error? Since it's Write only, you'll probably have to change the permissions to be able to copy it from the cache folder. You should be able to do it with Root File Manager. I know I can with Root Explorer.

well root file manager says it was read/write for the owner so i changed the permissions to read/write for all users. then i attempted to rename it to 1update.zip.....and then the file disappeared. :eek:

Weird, will it let you download it again since you renamed it?

run Triangle away and enable tracking and reboot (if you are already turn off tracking > reboot > turn on tracking > reboot ~ status should be normal now).

Does it say say your device is modified under Menu > Settings > About Phone > status?

Try rebooting the phone.

i created a 0byte file named update.zip in the cache folder and rebooted, and now it is telling me it is ok to install. (my battle level is below 50% so it wont let me). so i cured the modified error. but the actual download is still MIA. says device status is normal. it was probably kicking that error because it couldnt find the update.zip since i somehow renamed it and it decided to play Where's Waldo.

That's odd, mine is at 16% and d/l on LTE. I'm stock rooted.

Strange that the download just disappeared. Have you tried searching for the file?

    Any way someone can extract just the modem from this? If I'm not mistaken that will allow us to use it with AT&T & international edition ROMs w/o the data drop issue. :good:

    Here is the modem http://www.mediafire.com/download/5hrw5zr7hh4mnmt/T889UVUCMK7_Modem-Dec_9_13.zip md5 d4c83d93a438a923084b939014819e82

    kernel http://www.mediafire.com/download/f3wqg8r40eb2xy7/T889UVUCMK7_Kernel-Dec_9_13.zip md5 832eb09239d64f2c2225f3c9ce6fc9e9

    FYI Ladies and Gentlemen,

    The GS3 crowd has found that attempting to rollback to a previous version of android (such as 4.1.2) can cause brick like symptoms due to the new bootloader that gets installed via official update methods. They found that if you go back to the 4.3 version that you can get the phone back...

    They also found that the modem and rom can be installed via recovery once the devs give it their treatment and the old bootloaders stays and works fine.

    TreveE and other tethering options either don't work or are not great just yet but there are some options that can be flashed via recovery to get thethering back. They figured out how to get it to work on their device. Might not work for us but it might start the thought process regarding how to get it working. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2553066

    I'd bet that their experiences will be repeated with our devices...


    Dr ketan from the n7100 has patched the bootloader so you can flash free ly and have wifi




    Modem/kernel combo doesn't work with skynote 9 Not losing data but no wifi


    Its the kernel. Use devil kernel to fix WiFi until the the boot loader gets patched




    Should have read ur comment before I tried to go back to 4.1.2. T_T, I tried, and it failed. And since I dont have iinternet @ my house (was using hotspot) I had to scurry around everywhere with my laptop to redownload the new 4.3 :/

    After I get the ROM downloaded from sammobile (probably tomorrow) I will get with Dr ketan to get our boot loader patched.

    sucks that we ste a few weeks away from any good custom rom

    Lol I had to, sorry :)

    Speaking for myself - I am incredibly slow, so if one considered anything I came up with as a "good custom rom" your statement is actually a best-case scenario and likely is underestimating it a bit. BUT - there are a handful of others out there that are not anywhere near as slow and have all appearances of generating their own twists on this newest update, and I have every confidence that they will come in far under your "few weeks" estimation. When things are pushed out too fast - problems emerge. When things are pushed out too slow - it elicits an annoyed-waiting scenario for folks. The happy medium varies by individual, but the reality is the update is only a few days old... it does take a LITTLE time regardless of a particular tinkerer's skill/speed/efficiency. My money is that by the end of next week there will be a few options available for folks to play with. In the meantime... root + xposed + wanam/gravitybox should ease the wait :)
