Haykuro 1.5r3 keeps downloading official update CRB43

Hi,
I still use Haykuros 1.5r3 and since last weekend my battery went flat in like 8 hours each time after charging. There was constant GPRS traffic and I finally found out why: The system keeps downloading the official update: signed-kila-CRB43-from-PLAT-RC33.xxxxx.zip from the google site.
When the download is done, the signature check of course fails (this is actually expected as far as I know) and it is redownloaded and so on....
Anyone got an idea how I can stop this? Preferably without upgrading to a newer build! Restoring all my apps and data takes ages...
Thanks,
Dicer
Edit:
Creating an empty file or directory and only giving root rights to write does not help

I think you should really switch from this ROM to another.
It doesn't take so long to resetup...
If you relly want to not switch use "toggle data" from the market and disable your data connection when yxou don't use it.
Maybe someone here knows a better solution.

Android constantly downloading?

Hi,
So I have been using my android for 6 month now and its all good. I have JF1.5 and offcourse its a rooted phone. I was travelling last week and so the phone was on roaming, I got back and turned data networks on and its all good. Except I noticed today that my phone has been constantly transfering data and it actually downloaded 500MB in only 3 days. My battery is being drained so fast, im not able to keep up with the recharge. So I had to actually delete the APN so that the phone no longer has data connectivity.
I looked up at the task manager and I couldnt find anything out of the ordinary. I closed everything up to only the android keyboard and the netcounter. Still I could see it downloading at full speed. So if anyone has any suggestion as to WHAT is it trying to download and Why ?? Please let me know.
Thanks abunch for any help !!

Update to JF 1.51.

I'm having the same issue, and I'm on JF1.51. The weird thing is, I did a manual flash and the version in About still shows as 1.5. Should 1.51 show up in there somewhere?
I've been without data for the past two days but I haven't had to charge my battery yet!

Do either of you have the SDK installed? If so, can you do us a favor and post your logcat?

If you flashed JF1.51 correctly your build number should contain "CRB43". JF version numbering is not 1:1 with Android version numbering.

in that case, I have JF1.51 installed...

OK, so I had 1.50. I updated to 1.51 now , I will keep monitoring this for the rest of the day and if it starts downloading like mad again, I will let you guys know. I really REALLYYY hope this will fix it.
I think I have SDK installed in my desktop computer, if thats what you were asking for, please provide instructions to extract a log and send it to you.

Thanks for the reply.... The reason I ask is two-sided.
Sometimes apps can be malicious and I want to make sure that it's not something that could be adversely affecting you and secondly... if by chance there was another update that hasn't gotten leaked ... you might be holding the key.
Now mind you this will only work if you are having more issues...
Connect your phone to your computer and open a command prompt. Type in ADB logcat and hit enter. Right click and hit enter. This will copy the contents to your clipboard. Paste them (CTRL+V) here.
If you need further help, feel free to IM me at ChicagoTransAm

Thanks alot for your help.......
So the bad news is that the problem is still their, the good news is I got the log. I attached it to this post, because it wouldnt fit as a code since it has lots of characters.
So the code attached was generated in about 1min. during which the phone downloaded around 2.5Mb. I changed the APN settings to the correct one (so that phone could connect) and then it immediatly started downloading. after about 1 min. or less actually I changed the APN name so that it stops working. You will notice that in the log file where the correct APN is etisalat.ae

There it is. But no full link...

So Any ideas as to what is causing this ? or how to block it ?

It's not an update, it's something else. My guess would be Market is trying to download something. You can stop it by adding android.clients.google.com to the hosts file, but then you'd lose all market access.

right but wut could it possibly be downloading ? and why not everyone ?? this is wierd !

Guys......any thoughts ?? PLEASEEE !!

Maybe the GTalk app. Try playing with it... i dunno.

[Q] OTA System Update - 1.141.07 WIFI - ERROR

I just updated my system and now my WIFI just reads error. I did a factory reset two times and still no luck does anybody have any suggestions?

What if anything did you do/load on your tab before you updated?
were you rooted and or applied removed any hacks or programs???

I don't know if I was rooted I didn't do anything to change the system when I bought it. All I did was download some games and use the browser. The update failed the first time, so I tried it again and it succeeded. As soon as the tablet restarted it had no internet access and on the setting menu under WiFi it just said Error.

i had to reset permissions on the wpa_supplicant to rwxr xr x.

How would I do that?

this has also happened to me. i'll try changing the permissions.

i used chmod 755 wpa_supplicant in the /systems/bin/ and my wifi still reads "Error"

did not work for me neither ;(

i think i will just send it to acer

You did reboot after making the permissions change, right?

yep i did. i did a system reset too and still came back as wifi error, and little did I know that when you do that it also wipes the "SD Card" internal storage as well, which had my system backup on it. UGH. Now, alot more troubleshooting

Ok I got wifi back up by restoring a system.img i found for the US to the original 1.04 version. After installing the patch manually, wifi failed to work. again.

After letting impatience get the best of me, I managed to extract the update from a posted link back to acer and successfully updated to 1.141. Now I have the same problem here. Error - No wifi.
Log reports an error loading the wifi driver. Tried to fix the wpa_supplicant permissions, but once I had the system folder set to r/w, the permissions were already at 755.
Anyone else figure this out? perhaps there's an old wifi driver we can use and replace the existing borked driver file?
Update: After searching though the forums, only two "fixes" are available for lack of wifi and neither of them do anything. Permission changes for the wpa_supplicant file does nothing and the two kernel mods also do nothing. In fact both those modules are the exact same size so I'd guess they are the same files. It has to be something else. Looking at attempting to revert back to 1.04 until this can get resolved (once I find the 3 images to do so)
Update2 (RESOLVED): Ok, this is something one would not expect from an update. From what it looks like, the update does NOT update the kernel in any way. The kernel modules were the cause of the error as the 1.141 update will update the modules but not the kernel itself. I found a set for my kernel here and after copying those to the /system/lib/modules folder (and changing the permissions to 755 or rwxr-xr-x) after rebooting I got connected. Hope that helps.

Thanks! This worked for me.

Can't find my 2.3 update

I was out of the country and used my phone on wifi. Of course as soon as I am gone, I get the notification for the 2.3 update. I downloaded it (160 megs or so) over wifi, but didn't install it since I wasn't sure if it would turn off my airplane mode and I would get slammed by tons of txt which add up $$ quick. It was always in my notification bar for the update and when I cleared all notifications it was still there under "ongoing". I landed back in the US and turned on the cell. A few minutes later I looked in the notifications and the update was gone. Anyone know where the file was saved on my phone so I can go ahead and run the update? Thanks in advance. I checked the "about" screen and I am still running 2.2 (was hoping it automatically updated without me knowing it).

here, download THIS FILE, and rename it to "PD15IMG.zip"
place it in the root of your sdcard, reboot into hboot/bootloader by holding power +volume down buttons, then follow the onscreen instructions.
good luck

That file saranhai gave you is exactly what you need. Do as he says, and you'll get what you are wanting. Its the least dangerous flash you can make to your phone. If you walked into T-mobile and asked for the update they would pop in an sd card with that file and follow the same procedure.
BTW, its important that the name be all caps.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe doing this manual install will wipe your device's memory. Just a heads up as a reminder to backup your data beforehand.

Yeah, it will. Sms backup & restore will save your sms messages at least.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App

Thanks for the help. Is there any way to run the update that I already downloaded ? I assume that it is stored somewhere, and wanted to see if anyone had an idea where.

Hello,
I really dont know if the file has the same name but you can try using find.
Something like that :
Code:
adb shell find / -name PD15IMG.zip

[Problem identified] CM 12.1 - Wifi connectivity VS mobile data priority problem

[Solution HERE: disable AFWall+-2.0-alpha2]
Hey there,
I installed the optimized CM12.1 20150602 with Xposed and Xprivacy and now I got a connectivity problem:
When I come back from flight mode or enter a known wifi, wlan0 connects to my local wifi but Internet still gets routed through mobile data (LTE).
ping rounter not possible
Wifi icon has a "!"
netcfg shows:
Code:
rmnet_usb0 UP 10.175.104.107/29 0x00000041
wlan0 UP 192.168.2.126/24 0x00001043
on turning off mobile data, wifi data starts working and keeps working when I turn mobile data back on
I tried with a clean system: no problem, added Xposed/Xprivacy: no problem. So I guess one of my apps with root access must have caused that bug.
Possible candidates: AFWall, AdAway, droid VNC, OpenVPN, OS Monitor, SSHDroid, Tasker, TB.
Anyone knows how to fix this? I guess it must be a problem of how and what gets prioritized.
The setup took me quite some time and it would be great if I could fix this without starting from scratch. Plus I'd like to know the source of the problem.
Log attached.

I run none of the apps you mention and have the same issue and it happens on all wireless networks. I know of two workarounds, if they can be called that.
First is to cycle WiFi from within settings. When I do that it normally works right for a few days after.
Second is to power cycle my wireless router. That normally only works for a day or so as well.
I personally feel this is a flaw in CM as I have also seen the exact same issue on CM and any ROM built from it.

FIX
I found a fix for my problem by trial and error:
First I dirtyflashed the system again which didn't help, so I thought the problem must be in /data... thats where wpa_supplicant.conf is located so I had a look at it and strangest thing was:
The priority numbers for high eventhough it had only three entries. I changed them to 1/2/3 and rebooted. After that automatic connection to wifi worked again. BUT:
I rechecked the
Code:
/data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf
again and the priority was back to the old state: 41/47/38 - in this order for the only three networks.
So the fix for me was: Change priority and save. Reboot afterwards.
Can someone elaborate on how this could fix the problem?

Oh and I must revoke my solution. Didn't work on the other network. :/

OK next trial and fail: deleting wpa_supplicant so it gets renewed. No difference.
Maybe I just try to install a fresh install and just restore /data.

I tried deleting the whole /data/misc/wifi folder. Didnt fix it!
And now I even installed from scratch and restored /data only from backup. Didn't help either!
What do I have to remove to fix this???

Rule number 1 of the Optimized ROM: do not use Xposed if you want support. So, uninstall Xposed, make a logcat of your issue if uninstalling Xposed doesn't fix it, then send that to AntaresOne.
He doesn't read the threads in Q&A, and wouldn't reply to this one anyway because of Xposed.

Yes, thank you, I know that.
I didn't report a bug, I'm just trying to understand the problem, so I won't run into it again.
I tried tried a clean system and a clean system with Xposed and Xprivacy installed and did not have that problem, so I ruled that out.
Lucky for me: I did mention that in my OP.

My point is that you're presenting your information to the wrong audience. You need to post the logcat, without Xposed, on the Optimized CM12.1 thread, if you haven't already done so. That way the people who can actually do something about it can attempt to fix it.
I do apologize however for not reading the thread properly. It was late at night for me and I was half asleep. *sigh*

SOLUTION
So I hope it is fixed now.
My last resort was to flash a new modem/non-hlos.
I was on a 4.4.2 modems (DTM-I9505XXUGNG8_I9505DTMGNG3_I9505XXUGNG8_HOME.tar) before and updated to the latest modems for T-Mobile Germany: DTM-I9505XXUHOD5_I9505DTMHOD1_I9505XXUHOD5_HOME.tar.
This seemed to have solved my Wifi problem.
Step-by-step (no data loss but still: make a backup):
Check which is the latest ROM for your country/carrier on sammobile.com
Download ROM on sammobile.com or samsung-updates.com (no account necessary).
Extract ZIP > rename extracted *.tar.md5 to *.tar > extract modem and non-hlos file from *.tar with WinRAR or the likes.
Shutdown mobile and start into Download mode (Vol-Down)
Run Odin, disable Auto-restart and flash modem and reboot back into Download mode (I did that twice because people were hinting that but I doubt it's necessary).
Flash non-hlos in case you have a S4-LTE version.
Reboot and test.
/edit: didn't fix it.

Solved this time?
I think I finally found the problem: AFWall v2.0-alpha2 seems to cause the connectivity problem.
As soon as I deactivate the Firewall connection won't have any problems. I can't believe I needed so much time to find the bad boy.
Guess I didn't want to reduce security on my system, so I tried to avoid disabling/deleting my firewall.
