Great, Problems after JB update!

[arthaz28]

Got my JB update today, I was rooted stock before, and the install went fine without any problems.

After the update, my Quadrant score went down dramatically, from 4500 (stock rooted ICS) to 3700 JB.

So I did a factory reset and all hell breaks loose. I dont seem to have 4G anymore, although the 4G signs is showing on the top. Play store, Maps, Navigations, etc wont load (maybe since I dont internet it wont load?). After noticing all these problems, I did another factory reset.

And now I cant even sign in to Google.

Seriously, I never thought an OTA upgrade would mess up my phone.

Can anyone shine a light my way?

Thanks.

I had a similar problem with the OTA LH2 on a rooted stock ICS , I couldn't connect WIFI, a lot of apps weren't working properly. After 4-5 factory resets, still no go. My only option was to use ODIN and reinstall the complete firmware that way, and all was back to normal. Im pretty sure this happened because of OTA over a rooted device. Worth a try I think.. Good luck.

Odin the update like above then enter recovery and wipe again, sucks you got a messed up download.

Thanks! Yup, wifi wont work, 4G wont work. I think, like you, ODIN is my only option at this point.

Unzip the odin file, turn the device off, holding volume down, home button and then the power button, the phone should go into download mode, start odin up, connect the phone via usb, hit the pda option, then browse to the file you downloaded and unzipped, the md5 file should be the only file showing up, select it and hit start.

Phone will auto restart upon completion.

Edit: Don't use that file, use this: https://hotfile.com/get/179444770/50a3b770/48ddf5f/T999UVDLJA_T999TMBDLJA_TMB.zip

I was stock rooted. Updated. Cwm said it failed but it gave me the option to flash untrusted zip. Flashed. Works flaws less. No problems

Welcome dark!


Im a lil salty myself. I love the update except i get a little screen flicker when i scroll up and down sometimes (disabling hw overlay aka project butter fixes) and the call quality kind of downgraded slightly. I love everything else so far.


Mobile Odin is your friend to the OP. Took me 10 min or so

Perfect example of why I always say to do firmware upgrades either OTA (if 100% stock unrooted) or Odin.

Is that file the stock rooted JB OTA? I downloaded the root66 stock rooted OTA: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=9390169635556426451

But the file that I downloaded has *.7z thus unrecognizable by ODIN's PDA option.

I will download your file now and give it a shot.

Thanks!

Thats 7zip. Download from 7zip.org and use to extract.
If you want thst stock unrooted on, get it from my fw thread. The download should be a LOT faster than using hotfile

Ok, I downloaded the *.7z file, extracted, flash it through ODIN and get my wifi to work, and my 4g to work for a brief moment.

Then my 4g stopped working again, and i notice that when i go to Status option in the setting, my device is listed as Modified, whereas for a few minutes after i flashed, it was listed as Normal.

When my device was listed as Normal, my 4g would work, then it switched itself to Modified and it seems that Samsung or Tmo locked my device.

Ugh, I am so bummed!

 

[DocHoliday77]

Modified ststus is jusy becsuse your rooted. It goes away if you revert.
It shouldnt have any bearing on your data though.
What does it say for baseband, network type, and is your imei there?

I am on stock ICS (Android version 4.0.4)

My baseband version is T999UVLEM

I rooted my phone when I got it at launch, and then put off all the incremental updates until official JB was released for Tmobile. Now that it's released, I'd like to update to. What is the proper way for me to do this? Flash through odin I assume? Will I still be able to keep my root or root the device after JB is installed?

Thanks in advance, I just don't want a nightmare situation like the OP if I flash incorrectly

Thanks for that, it pretty much covers all of my questions.

One that I'm still wondering about though, is can I go straight from rooted UVALEM to the latest JB firmware? Or do I flash back to stock UVALEM and THEN flash JB? Or do I need to flash each incremental update before finally finishing off with JB?

Yup! Just Odin flash the full firmware file, not the ota. Use the root66 version to stay rooted.

Thanks GG, been a while dude, I've no issues so far with the update, everything is smooth, my playstore acted weird for a bit, then after adding my accounts, it worked fine, weird. Otherwise, I gotta admit I'm loving it.

Or they can use the regular firmware file, flash it via mobile odin which roots it for ya, without the hassle and is much faster, I used it so I can say clearly it did an excellent job.

Note: if hotfile is too slow and there are no alternatives, I can upload the full firmware odin file to dev-host for everyone.

I always use mobile odin pro. My favorite app! But not everyone wants to pay for it and the free version doesnt have EverRoot.
I usually recommend it, but too many people were updating today so I wanted to stick with what everyone should be willing to do!
Ive already got the stock fw hosted from my account if that helps.
Was one of the first things I did after release. Check the firmware thread in my sig for that Plus more!

It turns out there was a 4g blackout around my area last night. But I did odin'ed your root66 TMO JB version and it's awesome! I was wondering if you're gonna make the same version with UMS included?

Thanks!
