If you restore through Odin and don't do a factory reset, all of your data will still be there. You can re-run the OTA update and try rooting again if you'd like. I actually used the modified zip file found in the root thread and didn't have any issues. You can find it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=41190064&postcount=413

yes I did restore with Odin. This all happened after installing Cydia with Xposed frame work. They obviously won't work well together but I wanted to try Cydia and keep Xposed longterm.

how do you do a restore with ODIN what boxes did you check and what did you do on the phone while it keeps rebooting into recovery? I'm very new to this as I just switched over from the 4S

Happened to me too on my first shut down/power up after installing Winterboard. Fun part is that I was on the phone with AT&T when it happened. Was *****ing at them for throttling me. 2 new phones in 15 days, of course I went over 5 GB. Unlimited my ass.
ODINed up, updated, and re-rooted with the updated Chopper. Right as rain now.

Odin will not uninstall any apps but it will revoke root access and prevent Cydia from causing your problem. Then remove it after you boot up. Reroot and your back to normal.

So is Cydia Substrate and Winterboard not compatible together with motochopper root? Coming from the IOS side Cydia and Winterboard were pretty much everything when it came to customizing the iPhone and super easy to use so I hope that is not the case

Cydia causes a huge problem with the S4. Touch wiz was even removed from the compatibility list in the description. My advice is stay away. Once we're able to flash ROMs we won't need it anyway.

I keep getting stuck at the ATT logo during boot up and I tried to Odin but get this. I am usually proficient with all things root but this has me stumped. Any idea what i am missing or doing wrong?
Oh, the stuck on ATT logo came about from inadvertently running a rom installer on computer with phone connected and not moving the proper files to the phone.

(The description never had a compatibility list.) FWIW, the issue with the S4 was caused by something Samsung did that was rather weird (putting some libcutils.so symbols into their liblog.so, probably to make it easier for them to target their proprietary tools to their device using the NDK). Later versions of Substrate now are able to detect such symbol incompatibilities on the device by comparing the symbol tables of the various libraries. I also noticed, with some third-party testing and some testing I was able to do in person, that some of Samsung's tools seem to be relying on some uninitialized memory, so I blacklisted those processes (and when I get some more time on the S4 I will look to see if there are things I can do, such as maybe zero'ing the stack before releasing back to the tool, to mitigate this and remove those blacklists). Substrate seems to work without issue or side effect on this device now. I'm sorry about any issues you had .

I second that. Learn everything you can before rooting. Unlike your dumbphones you can permanently break your smartphone if you're not careful with root access. Rooting is like jailbreaking an iphone, it voids your warranty and good luck getting support from big red afterwards.
If you just want to change the look of the interface, try a new launcher from the market. Launcherpro and adw are great places to start.
I agree with the idea of not rooting without proper knowledge, however if u want to save a little time u can use z4 root in the market

There have been several people that have had there phones replaced after rooting. The same was said about flashing winmo phones and look at how many touch pros were replaced. It really isn't an issue and I don't know of anyone that was turned down from replacing there phone in the years I was a tp user.

ya. i already rooted the phone. i think. i followed this guide here: http://www.droidforums.net/forum/sa...ent/79811-newbie-guide-rooting-fascinate.html
everything seemed to go fine. but i dont know how to check if the root was successful.
i also got clockworkmod rom manager but i am having trouble getting it to work like it says here:http://www.androidpolice.com/2010/0...nandroid-backup-and-clockworkmod-rom-manager/
i get stuck at the backup faze. im going to have to make a new thread about it.
Unfortunately you can't just install ROM Manager and have CWM magically be there. You have to flash CWM thru Odin, which you can find all the instructions in the development forum

Seriously, no way to take screenshots on unrooted evo?

Well since I got my replacement evo, it came with GB so I lost root and access to my screenshot app for rooted phones.
I searched and all I found was the android sdk and screenshot it which is tethered and your phone needs to be plugged into the computer every time you reboot.
Any other options?
If you can turn on USB debugging, you might be able to use ddms.bat included with the Android SDK (for Windows). It takes a second to start up, but if it finds your EVO, you can choose "Device, Caputre Screenshot" and win.
It's not the best solution, but might be the only solution. Requires a USB cable.
So I have to plug it in every time to take a screenshot or is this a one time deal?
Search for app called shootme.

It requires root
^ ! Exactly why I'm asking.
You can set up QtADB and do screenshots but only when your phone is plugged in usb. At least that way you can do it graphically instead of command line.

A lot of ppl got it to work unrooted
Sent from the Evo
yeah but they recently updated the app and its no longer working without root.
There's an app called No Root Screenshot It in the market for $4.99. It's fairly easy to setup, and the only catch is you have to re-enable it everytime your phone reboots thru the PC program that is required to install it. I use it on my unrooted EVO 2.3.3 and it works great.
Edit: Ah I just noticed in your OP about Screenshot It. It's not so bad with the re-enabling and stuff. Usually I'm home when I reboot, so it isn't a big deal to me. Still gets the job done for us who got screwed with a 2.3.3 refurb.
I think some versions of the Evo's software have allowed it without root, and some haven't. I think it's gone back and forth a few times, and I'm not sure why they can't make up their mind.
An unrestricted ability to take screenshots could be a security risk, as an app could run in the background and take screenshots while you're entering your credit card info or whatever. But I don't see why they couldn't have it built into Android and protected with defined permissions, just like other sensitive operations are.
ShootMe worked on my Evo before I rooted it - this was back on whatever version was before 3.70 (3.30, I think). If it's ShootMe that doesn't allow for non-rooted screenshots, I have an older version you can try out. If it's your phone, you're going to have to do it the hard way.

I'm willing to try the older version if you point me to the apk, Thanks!
(using no root screen shot to get by)
The last update was in January, version 0.8.0, which is the version I have readily available. I am pretty certain that I have an older version somewhere on my computer that I used before rooting. If I can find it then I'll post it.

It's certainly worth trying the older version, but I think it's dependent on the ROM rather than the shootme version.

[Q] Where is the GB OTA update stored?

So I've searched and everyone seems to say that the OTA updates are stored in the cache folder. I've looked there and don't see it (there's nothing at all in the cache folder).
I've been on Froyo with Syndicate Frozen ROM and am quite happy with things as they are. But my phone decided to automatically download the new update and it's been bugging me about installing it.
I've since blocked the SystemUpdate.apk and it doesn't bother me every 15 minutes like it used to, but when I reboot the phone it still tells me that it's been downloaded and is ready to install.
I don't suppose it's that big of a deal to just disregard the message on the rare occasion of a reboot, but still.. I'd like to delete the file from wherever it's been stored so it never bothers me about it again.
I'm using Adao File Manager if it matters. I'll try root explorer if I have to, but just don't like needlessly installing apps.
Thanks =)

I used Gemini App Manager (it's free in the market). You have to enable USB debugging for a while while you do this. Download it, open it, menu>Expert Mode, scroll down to system update, long press, block app.
You can do something similar with Titanium if you have it, but Gemini is free in the market.
Like I said, it hasn't been bugging me every 15 minutes like it used to, so this is decent solution for the time being, but every time I restart it bugs me about it again. I'd prefer to delete it so I don't have to worry about accidentally pressing okay.
I haven't actually blocked/frozen it yet, it takes me half a second to hit install later but I'm thinking about freezing it. And I get the feeling there may be a gb rom worth flashing in a few days (keeping an eye on you starsky for that theme =P).
EDIT: oh I heard the ota may also be in data/cache
EDIT 2.0: my update is sitting right in /cache
Apparently Adeo doesn't see the update. I installed Root Explorer, found and removed the update. Still pops up on every reboot. Very annoying. =\
I'm tempted to make a nandroid backup and press install just to see what happens.

The updater being DMClient right?
One thing to keep an eye on (I plan to disable OTA's on my two tablets) is battery life.
There are supposedly some instances where the system may think the OTA update is corrupt and will continuously try to re-download it in the bg affecting battery life. It's still worth attempting IMHO, just a tip though to keep an eye on your battery, if disabling the OTA affects it for you, you could unfreeze the dmclient service and use a different workaround to stop the OTAs
-For freezing, after looking around, these three apps seem to be best suited - Titanium Backup pro (obviously), AntTek & Gemini App managers (free)
I'll be Rooting then freezing OTAs on my Prime (ww .15) and rebooting it to ensure it doesn't softbrick. If unsuccessful I can flash a blob/format no probs, if successful, I'll root my Nxs7 JB, rinse repeat and report back
--
Successfully performed all tasks on the Prime (hooray no OTAs!!), it's rooted with frozen DMClient, no firmware download prompts since the service was stopped and frozen.
I have rebooted a few times to ensure it is not soft bricked and the App remains frozen
I will be doing my Nexus next since I do not foresee any brick issues, all I need to do is simply look into rooting it.
edit: seeing the several methods all require unlocking to exploit root capability, I'm going to wait out my DOA period (since Ive only had this tablet for 2 days lol) before I unlock the bootloader.
The methods discussed though work perfect for ICS, if you've unlocked and root then turning OTA's off is a sinch, with very minimal risk of a softbrick IMO
Thanks, I will try freezing with TB.

Just to let you know, everything's going awesome with my Prime, initially when I downgraded it, the OTA tried to download (i stopped it at 66 percent) and I just kept the wifi off while I rooted and disabled DMClient.
The bonus of freezing the process/service is when another update occurs ours should continue to block the FOTA, some other methods like modifying the build prop only work until a new update is out.
I'll definitely be unlocking and rooting my nexus to stop ota's

And what would that file be? Where is it located?
Disable using autostarts works...
I had my nexus 7 nagging me constantly to update too... rooted and heavily customized stock rom, different kernel, a lot of system files I altered... I really am not overly concerned about doing an update that might screw with any one of those components and having to go through the whole process of getting it where I want again.
I couldn't find this DMClient you guys are speaking of.
Here's how I did it:
Install Autostarts app.
Go to "After Startup"
Scroll down until you see "Google Services Framework"
There should be several of them. For me it was the third one. Touch it and read the bottom of the popup to find out. It will say "Receiver com.google.android.gsf.update.SystemUpdateService.....(you get the point)
Disable it. Done...
I don't know if there are any other repercussions to disabling this.. I just know it's not nagging me, and everything works still.
DMclient is a service, it's the most ideal thing to freeze since when stopped the OS will not even attempt to check of OTAs or attempt to download anything, plus it does not modify the OS in any significant way (i.e, editing build.props) so you can undo it with ease if you want. All you need is Root to be able to freeze the service.
I'm not arguing about how to do it... I just couldn't find dmclient , as one of the others stated as well. Just sharing what worked for me.
I don't know if it matters, but it's stock jb 4.1.1 on the nexus 7. If somebody knows where I can locate this dmclient in it, I'd probably feel better about doing that as well. Don't like the idea of it downloading or doing anything in the background if I don't need it to. I'm rather anal about background processes.. at least I have been in my other OS's so far... getting more familiar with the innards of android now... lol
Are we sure it's in this version? I don't even see it in ps in terminal. Unless the process I disabled with autostarts stopped it.
I might enable it again tomorrow and reboot and check ps again.

You're right, I checked my nexus 4.1.2 and the service isn't there, the All area doesnt show everything but even using apps that show all apps/services it doesnt show up. :/
I checked my TF Prime which is 4.1.1 now (sigs outdated) and the service is there, it mustn't exist in AOSP builds or something
It seems as if Google has done a lot of little different things to the OS on the nexus 7. Some of the system components I've messed with relating to sound don't have any effect... I think they left some files in place but are utilizing something different for configuration of sound.
I see every mobile OS now is taking proprietary steps... I still gotta stick with Google though, because they are so heavily involved in the open source community and do a great deal to help the development community.
Next tablet is going to have top have more options for me... better usb support, hdmi out.. the ability to use a headset with Mic connection.. sd card... I am, however, extremely happy with my nexus 7 purchase. For the price and the performance.. can't go wrong there. They are practically giving away the 8 gb models.. barely more than cost of construction. The 16 gb ones aren't exactly a ripoff either..

I had my nexus 7 nagging me constantly to update too... rooted and heavily customized stock rom, different kernel, a lot of system files I altered... I really am not overly concerned about doing an update that might screw with any one of those components and having to go through the whole process of getting it where I want again.
I couldn't find this DMClient you guys are speaking of.
Here's how I did it:
Install Autostarts app.
Go to "After Startup"
Scroll down until you see "Google Services Framework"
There should be several of them. For me it was the third one. Touch it and read the bottom of the popup to find out. It will say "Receiver com.google.android.gsf.update.SystemUpdateService.....(you get the point)
Disable it. Done...
I don't know if there are any other repercussions to disabling this.. I just know it's not nagging me, and everything works still.

That solution uses a paid app. Any free solution?

I used this and it stopped the nag, but for some reason, it removes my email app (standard nexus 7 app) it says app not installed . Luckily. I had a titanium backup of it , but putting it back would not work. I reenabled the service, and put the app back and all is well now, but obviously the nag is back. Any ideas?

[Q] Google Wallet on a Rooted phone

Ok, I've tried to get Google Wallet on my rooted S4 without asking too many questions, but I'm not sure if I'm messed with the system too much or not but regardless of what I do I am unable to get the NFC portion of Google Wallet working. I am running MDL and have frozen SE on the system.
I did try to follow the information on how to get it to work for the S3 and the S4 on AT&T but I am either missing a step or am really bad at getting simple things to work. Does this work on a rooted S4? Are the steps even the same? How can I learn more about this without running and asking questions for every little problem I have? (last one is really just more of a frustrated question).
If anyone could take a few minutes to point me into the right direction I would greatly appreciate it. If it can't be done, I understand (and may be relieved as sad as that sounds).

I have Google wallet installed. It says "unsupported device" but it works on my rooted phone. Wallet may not work on AT&T but it works on Sprint.
What rom/kernel are you on? I'm using agat (64gb exfat works great!) and kuban rom and google wallet does not even launch for me.

I actually have Sprint, but have been reading the other forums just incase my questions can be answered by a little research.
The problem I have is that it still says unsupported device but when I go to scan against an NFC reader (IE like those at CVS) it doesn't transmit anything. I turn my phone on, open it, and even open google wallet but nada.

Stock (MDL) rooted rom. I have frozen a few services /apps and removed the Sprint scumware that was installed along with a few samsung apps, but haven't been able to figure out what I'm doing wrong.
Crawrj actually posted a fix for the Google Wallet issues on rooted Mdl but has taken it down since he baked it into the MDl rom. I think I still have the zip to fix the issue on my computer, so I'll put a link here in a bit :thumbup:

Thanks man.. I'll have to check it out in 8 hours when I get home.
I installed his zip file. It does start up now, but says unsupported device.
Try reinstalling it, and then see if it fixes it. If that doesn't work, I'll search the threads for some solutions.

Is there a fix for the unsupported device? The above file is for deodexed ROMs.
Specifically I am rooted stock, and would like to see some love.
It does the same for me but I think mine is working... it's really weird. I wasn't able to find a fix yet so hopefully someone might be able to help us out.

I actually may have stumbled upon the fix using NottachXposed. Basically I just installed Wallet as normal and attached my account, then I went to NottachXposed›Applications›checked Google Wallet hack and rebooted. I have used Wallet 2x since doing so at 7-11 and at CVS. Nag screen does not show and my purchases went through.

Maybe you're broke?
<- Not helpful.
Actually, dumb question, but you do have a valid fund source set up in the app?

Can I have some money?
Can any one confirm Wallet working on Rooted stock? Mine is displaying "unsupported device", but I haven't had a chance to try it out yet.
