I got the OTA ATT update yesterday. The phone worked great for one day. This morning when I got up I now get "System Exception" with a choice of "quit,copy to SD log, Report LOTA". I choose quit. Then I get "The android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again." I choose "Force Close".
When I do this it just starts the whole thing over again and again:bangshead:
I rebooted, a number of times. I have taken the battery out. No luck with any of it. I tried to do a "update from SD card" but it says I have to download the update. I'm afraid if I do a "factory reset" it will take me back to 1.6. Then I have to start over with no backup.
Any ideas?>:/>:/>:/
By the way,. after researching the android.process.acore issue I found it mentioned on other phone forums indicating issues caused by putting icons on the home screen. This was the last thing I did last night so I'm sure this is what caused it. But it won't let me delete anything since all I can get are the errors.

No worry, doing a factory reset will not take you back to OS 1.6. In fact, it's a good thing to do a factory reset right after the update.

I looked around and I couldn't find the answer.
Last night I stumbled upon a certain site which clearly explained how to root your G1 and so I did. Everything was fine until I got the OTA update notice and actually updated my G1 to cupcake.
At first it worked fine but then after restarting the phone I noticed it was no longer rooted and so I tried to go back and do everything over again.
I've tried going back to RC29 as described on the "How-to-Root..." thread and it just won't work.
It quickly displays "no image file!" then goes back to the RGB screen and just shows "Serial0"
That's all I can get it to do.
I've tried both the "how to root" and "how to unroot" guides and nothing is working. Either I get the "Installation aborted" message in the recovery mode or "no image file" message in the boot menu.
I've formatted both cards I've tried this with numerous times with no luck. I'm obviously new to this and would extremely appreciate any help you could offer. Thanks in advance.
The Phone is working fine with Cupcake installed after the OTA update but I'm stuck here. I'd like to give root another go.
I got an e-mail from HTC support updating a ticket I had in about there being an update that solves the problem so I went back to a nandroid with stock Sense that was rooted. I checked for updates but the only one showing was to go to 1.32.405.6 (I think) which is quite old. I decided to try installing it and then check again after it had updated. Unfortunately that's where I'm stuck and I'm not sure what to do.
I downloaded the update via WiFi and let it reboot where I'm now stuck at a screen with the triangle ! update but also an android logo guy. I've never seen that before but I'm guessing it's not a good thing. I had a full charge before I let it start the install and I'm still at that screen now unsure if I should pull the battery. It's been on that screen for over five minutes now.
Crisis averted. I got bored waiting for it to move so I pulled the battery and restarted it, working fine now but I keep getting the prompt that the update is ready to install. How do you get rid of that?
OK got that sorted now too. Restoring another nandroid backup cleared it.
You probably had OTA updates box unticked in your working nandroid backup.
You'll find the option to turn it on / off here:
Menu > Settings > About Phone > System Software Updates
Glad you're sorted though
*****EDIT*****
I went to stock recovery, cleared cache and user data (something I had already tried) and it magically stopped happening. I'm not sure if that fixed it or something else, but either way it's a non-issue now.)
So I used Odin and the file found here: Flashing back to stock
I'm trying to return the phone to as close to stock as possible so I can sell it. the flash goes great, I get success in Odin, but I keep getting a recurring FC as soon as I unlock the phone after the flash and reboot. it just says "android.process.acore has stopped unexpectedly" and you have the choice to close it. it keeps popping up like every 10 seconds, you click close, and 10 seconds later it's back. I tried to reflash, with no luck. I tried formatting the SD card, with no luck. Any ideas? Unsure what to do next
I've been using 4.6BETA5 for a while on my i9300 - very happy with it overall.
When the 5.1 OTA update appeared on my phone I backed-up and tried it and - erm - things didn't go well at all. Note that I've tried 5.1 ROMs before and they're not played well on the i9300 but I thought I'd try again.
The OTA installed on the 2nd attempt (the first attempt just rebooted the phone and did nothing) - it did the "Android is updating" run through all the apps (over 110 of them) - took a while - then rebooted and seemed to be working OK.
After a while I got the "Google App Support wants to update" notification - which just takes you to the Play Store and does nothing, so I ignored it. It disappeared for a while after each reboot but would always come back (and I'd forcibly updated all the apps I had) - no biggie tho.
After a day-or-so, com.android.phone started to terminate - repeatedly - eventually doing this virtually constantly, even after a reboot or battery pull! I suspect this coincided with network problems (UK, O2 network) but I can't be sure because I never got it to work again!!
I did a Factory Reset - both from the Settings Menu and then from ClockworkMod - in both cases I just ended-up going back through the "Android is updating" process and getting stuck in a "Setup has stopped working" loop when the phone restarted...
So I wiped everything and restored my backup of 4.6 - glad I took it!! - you may want to proceed with caution on this OTA - backup mandatory and all that!!
I hope I'm posting this at the right place. I have to start off by saying that I'm almost a complete noob regarding rooting and things that have to do with it. I rooted my phone about 6 months ago I think and the reason why I did that was only because I wanted to be able to freeze down some apps with titanumbackup. Since it's been such a long time ago I've forgotten almost all those steps I did when I rooted my phone.
Anyways back to the issue. So today I got a notification from SuperSU saying that it needed to update. I didn't think too much about it so I just followed the notification and updated it. When I started SuperSU I got 2 choices. Either updating normal or by TWRP/CWM. The dumb me just pressed TWRP/CWM for no reason and the phone rebooted into recovery mode. A lot of text started scrolling down at the bottom left corner and when it finally stopped it said something along the line with update failed. I pressed "reboot the system now" from the list and after that my phone rebooted. The samsung logo popped out as usual but after that the screen was completely black. Then I got a lot of popups telling me that this and that app stopped working. Contacts stopped working, whatsupp stopped working, messenger stopped working etc. Like all the apps stopped working.
So I've been trying to google a solution to this but it doesn't seem like someone has had the exact same problem. I've been trying to research things about rooting and such again to see if it can help me someway but I don't think I can't fix this problem by doing just that, so therefore I'm writing this to see if you guys can help me since you have waaay more experience than me when it comes to rooting. I've tried flashing CF-Auto-Root-jflte-jfltexx-gti9505 again using odin but the problem stays. I've tried updating to the latest stable SuperSU by downloading the zip file and putting it on the sd card and then using recovery mode but it didn't work either (I got an error E: signature verification failed). So after reading about the error I tried flashing a CWM but everytime I do that with odin I either get a FAIL or I keep getting the messages (Added, removed, added, removed). I download kies to get the drivers but it didn't help. and now when I try to boot into recovery mode my phone just keep rebooting.
I really don't know what to do now guys so I hope you guys can help me out :crying:

Did you try to just uninstall supersu and redownload it from the play store?

When I boot up the phone the screen is totally black. The only thing that shows are those popups (a lot of them) that tells me that this and that app stopped working. :/

Right now I don't see any other choice than flashing a stock rom.
Or you could try reflashing the recovery.
Make sure you are using the back USB ports and the original cable. Odin is quite sensitive with this.
