Someone who is downloading this before applying it grab a copy from your/cache folder and post it here please
or atleast i am trying to. i have root access and trying to copy/past from the cache folder to external sd or any other location for that matter seems to be failing. first time attempting this. what am i forgetting?
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.
i tried running software update again and it gave me an error "Your device has been modified, Software updates are not available"
wellllllllllllll it looks like I botched it up big somehow. I definitely didn't delete the file. damnit

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.

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:
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...
Modem/kernel combo doesn't work with skynote 9 Not losing data but no wifi
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 :/
sucks that we ste a few weeks away from any good custom rom
