[Q] official update doesn't work

---

Hi everyone

Thanks for everyone's support before. It gave some confidance.
It doesn't work though. It's starts updating and then reboot with the message "Update failed, try using Kies, or go to Samsung service centre".
I removed root it didn't help. I got CWD flashed. Could that be a problem.
Could I get rid if it just to be able to uodate?
Need some help here. Kies seems dodgy judging by the posts.

Thanks in advance.

You need stock recovery if you want to update the official way.

What do I do

---

Could you explain to me what to do please. And should I mess with Kies. Or it wouldn't work either?

Or may be I could just flash it with Odin? Do you know where I could get
the latest Honeycomb flashable file? Since I already have CWM. And everything from xda seems to work. I just thought mabe just ODIN that update if I could get it.

Stock recovery means that I would need to get rid of CWM. How could I do it please?

Surprisingly enough I managed to get back to stock recovery. The Guide in this forum is amazing. I was scared stiff since i never done it before. It went well but still the update doesn't work. No root. No CWM. Still stops and reboots.

Anyone any ideas please?

Exactly what are you trying to do? You want the latest stock rom? Yes, you can flash it with Odin, there's a guide for that also.

I think it worked. I flashed a stock recovery with Odin. And then updated with Kies. It went down rather well. I sleepless night and all that stress just to see that I liked HC 3.1 better. Especially the dock bar that I could swipe before. And now I have to hit a stupid mini triangle.

Anyway, learnt quite a lot. Used Odin for for the first time and CWM. Cool.

It crashed already twice. Could it be because of installing too mush stuff too quickly? I'm just too impatient to get it back on the road. Like over a 20 apps at the rate of 2 or 3 at a time. Or is it supposed to be able to take it and sth is wrong with the ROM?

Cheers

Nobody cares probably but I'd just like to thank everybody who replied to
my posts. Everything seems to work now. I think it's better. Ebook in the update rom reads French now. Which is handy. That's life, as far as the fact that I bought Moonreader goes. Google play did a wierd thing that I didn't ask for but It saved me about 5 hours. It just backed up, finaly that feature worked, 95% of my apps and then automaticly reinstalled them after a crash and a factory reset. So now I have to sort out the sleep debt.

Love this forum even more now.
Oh and the Guide is ****ing brilliant.
