Oh...and first!
Has anyone experienced the boot loop issue like the last manual update to 22? I had to wipe my phone to fix...
Not sent from my Sprint Galaxy Nexus
If you did did the GPS Fix (assuming you're on stock BML EI22), then you will need to replace the system/vendor/bin/gpsd file or else you will get an Error Status 7 when you try to do the update. You can extract the file from the EI22.zip (If someone can post the file and host it, even better).
I haven't tested the GPS after updating so I don't know if the new gpsd file fixes anything or reverts things back to what they were (ie locking on only 3 or 4 sats). If it has reverted it back, then you will probably have to re-run the GPS Fix again.
i got an error "verifying the script(?)" i forgot the complete error message when i tried to install it from stock ei22 and stock recovery.
Do you think it has to do with the fact that I downloaded within the phone's webbrowser, and renamed it in ES explorer within the phone?
I have trouble mounting my phone to my computer, so i either have to download files to my phone directly from within its own webbrowser, or take the sd card out and mount that seperatly.
@qbking77: you don't need to rename the update file to update.zip since the GB roms the stock reccovery allows you to choose what zip to use.
For me I copied both updates to my card as update.zip, EI22 and update-EL30.zip then I:
1- ODIN'd to EC05
2- shutdown
3- 3 finger salute
4- flashed update.zip (EI22)
5- shutdown
6- 3 finger salute
7- flashed update-EL30.zip
After that I:
A- copied the su.zip that removes the reinstall of stock recovery,
B- ODIN'd cwm 3 but unchecked reboot.
C- pulled battery
D- 3 finger salute
E- flashed the aboved mentioned su.zip
F- flashed cwm5
G- rebooted
That left me with a stock kernel with root and custom recovery. Made a NANDROID and have been tinkering with it.
Right now I'm tring to get CRT-OFF to work.

Thanks qb for the review and install. Btw ei22 had the loop-scrolling home screens too, but no biggie.
thanks for the post qbking. So seems like no real reason to update if you arnt using a stock rom?

Even if you're using a stock rom I don't see much benefit in upgrading. GPS was still broken for me and they changed/removed things I liked in the older stock roms (ie: incoming call screen, the alarm screen [took me a while to figure out how to snooze this morning which meant I got to work on time ;-)], the scrolling wallpaper). All minor things but I didn't have any issues with EI22 so...

I'm trying to update to 2.2.2, I downloaded and installed the first update, and I can successfully download the froyo update, but it won't go all the way through. It will finish downloading, prompt me to install, then power down to install, but when it installs it gets to about 35%, then shows the triangle with the ! In it and reboots. I'm rooted with stock everything, and have system reset twice hoping it would work. No luck.
Is anyone else having similar problems?

Josh, I'd grab the ec07 odex, flash it with PIT file (repartition off), then dl17 odex, flash it with no PIT file then try the OTA
I have the same prob. Is it failing, do you think, because the phone is rooted? I haven't tried any reimaging, just rooting.

Your problem is probably due to the current ROM you're using has removed some of the bloatware. When you remove bloatware you are unable to update your phone.
Sent from my SCH-I400 using XDA
Actually I'm not running a custom ROM. Literally all I've done was run a root tool, then installed Titanium Backup Free.
I'm going to try and re-image the phone using the stock DL17 but I'm not sure how. I've got the instructions for installing the rooted EC09 ROM but I don't think I'm supposed to use the I500.PIT? Is that specific to EC09, or is it specific to the phone model (and independent of ROM)?
UPDATE: I just realized there's a DL17 .PIT so nevermind! I'll be sure to use that.

If Odin fails when using the DL17 pit just try again without the pit.

That one is not something I'm gonna try to cover in a post, if you are as inexperienced as you proclaim. If you want to come into IRC, I'll try to help ya out. That being said, googling 'ec07 stock odex' brought up the exact thread you need. It was the first hit.
Hi,
On MF3.
I'm rooted. I have clock work recovery installed.
I can download the update succeffuly however when the phone reboots the install begins, gets as far as 25% then fails. Phone reboots back to 4.2.2 with a message that says the install was interrupted.
Have tried twice with the same result.
Anyone else experiencing this?

If I were you I would go back and read a little information about mf3 and what kind of recovery can be used. It sounds to me like you might be very confused. In order to correctly keep from bricking your phone you may want to read up on things. Good luck.

Since you are rooted, take a look in the /cache/recovery directory. Read the log file. It will tell you where things messed up.
For example, I had forgotten that I did something with csc and had replaced the feature.xml file. Luckily, I had a back up of the original file. I renamed it, fixed is file permissions to rw-r--r--, advanced my clock one day, and then was able to install MJ9.
Good luck, and remember you won't have root anymore when you install this (for the time being)

I had the same problem. The only way I was finally able to upgrade to 4.3 was to use Odin to revert to stock (unrooted) 4.2.2 MF3 using the files on this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2502003 Once I did that I ran the OTA update to 4.3 and it worked without any problems
To able to keep your root and upgrade from 4.2.2 to 4.3 you have to change your param file back to the stock. Thats all the information that I have so far so... not completely sure. But I think that is what you're supposed to do.
Because you have a custom param file, when you try to upgrade to 4.3 it's telling you there is an issue with your phone.
I may be wrong.
Is there a copy of the correct feature.xml? Im having the same issue

I had the same problem happen to me on Wednesday night and last night. Today I used Odin to go back to stock MF3, however, then I couldn't get the OTA update. It kept saying my firmware was up to date each of the three times I restored it.
Now I'm finally on MJ9 after copying "update-mf3-mj9.zip" to my SD card, going into recovery mode, and updating from external SD card. Now I can use my Galaxy Gear!

I was excited when I rooted the phone, then installed ROM manager premium. It allowed me to install the recovery. You can even boot into the recovery from ROM Manager.
However since the S4 is locked down tight, you can do any thing from there. So i can't flash anything. It even gives me a message saying as much.
However it is partially installed I can boot into it at will.
I will post a video of it. So that you all have an idea of what im talking about.

While I was preparing to record it, I did notice that you are correct. Although Rom Manager goes through the motions of flashing the recovery, when you attempt to boot into the Recovery, you are faced with an Error, and default back into Android Recovery.
Although I know all about Safestrap...I think we've all missed the point. The OP was meant to get help about why the 4.3 OTA was failing 25% into the install.
I've got what I needed by being pointed to the location of the install log.....and while reading through it, I noticed that the install is failing because I removed the Chat On APK. I will install from backup and move forward.
Thank you all who provided the necessary guidance to solve the original problem.
Thank you as well to those who helped clear up the whole Clockwork vs Android recovery part. Although a minor part of the original post, it's good that we don't spread misinformation.

Did you use all files? I mean, I've been trying the same for the past couple of days, and I even asked in that thread if I could use just the PDA file, nobody replied so I went ahead and did it, it removed the root and I kept all my files and settings (That was the idea) but just after that I can't connect anymore to Kies ( I could without issues, I did a full backup moments before) and trying to do the sideload it always gives me the Error 7, I even tried the full SD card update,it erased everything and guess what, when it rebooted for my surprise I was still at 4.2.2 MF3, so it just did the Wipe Data and then rebooted, so I lost almost 6 hours getting everything back as it was and then, I had the Damaged SD card error so I also lost all my pictures and videos withoout back up.
So, as you can see half a day later I'm still at the same point I was this morning and with a huge loss, so, please, Did you use all the files? If you did, doing this erase everything also?

Yes. I used all the files. The result was a completely stock unrooted 4.2.2 so, yes, it reset the phone and erased everything that I had on there. (It left my external SD card intact but I would still advise removing it if there is anything on there you don't want to lose.)

Yep, that was the reason why I just used the PDA I didn't want to lose my data, and then I did it anyways, my mistake was not doing the Odin Restore just after I realized that it erased everything and I was still at 4.2.2, that's was the perfect time to do it, but now, after I finally put everything back as it was, I simply don't see myself by my own choice, doing all this again.

In the thread, there are tons of instances where it explains where to use each file and even pictures, I know because I read every single post, but none of them explains if I could use just the PDA one if I wanted to keep my settings while unrooting the phone, that's why I asked about it, because nobody replied to my question I decided to be the guinea pig, and yes, it works, you keep your settings, and I was glad, but as you can see, what I wanted to accomplish didn't work after all. Without all the files it doesn't fix the issue that causes the error 7 when doing the sideload.

Ok, my apologies, but were the past couple posts directed to the main issue? I got a lil thrown off, but assuming liek everyone else, I am no longer able to open newly installed apps. I can get as far as installing them. But when i try to open them, it force closes " Unfortunately, BlahBlah has stopped ". This be resolved or still a wondering issue?
Resolved by flashing the mod thru twrp recovery basically use Odin and put the twrp tar in pda n flash that and after that is done put the hot spot zip file on your sdcard Then go into recovery n hit install find the zip file and let it install

HotSpot won't activate
I have used root explorer to copy hotspot hack file to framework, then I was getting app crash so flashed stock firmware L720VPUFNAE. Now I am rooted again when I try to turn on hotspot it turns on without notification that "hotspot is activated" and nothing can connect to hotspot. Any suggestion?
Hi s4 users.
I would like to add support for sph-l720 to my app. I can enable hotspot if a user with root can give me file from
/data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.db
Please be from stock rom fresh after a profile update.
Also indicate exact model from getprop or a look in build.prop
pm me link or come post it here http://forum.xda-developers.com/not.../app-one-click-hotspot-enabler-menus-t2816159
Thanks in advance for anyone who takes a moment of their time for me.

The NAE hotspot has problems if you try to copy the hack in with a file explorer. If you want it to work with no problems you need to flash it with a custom recovery.
So I've had this problem for a while and I think at one point I knew what the issue was, but things came up and I guess I lost my place. I have a GS4 running 4.3 on AT&T, but if I recall correctly it took a long time (longer than it was supposed to in US) for even that update to become available to me. I'm not sure if this phone is set as a different country or something, but I seem to think that had something to do with it when I checked last time. Now when I check for updates, it does say I have an available update (KitKat?) but fails when attempting to update. Download is successful, but install is not. Baseband is I337ucuemk2 if that helps anything. Any help here would be appreciated, thanks.
Install is failing as some of the files it is trying to update has been modified. You would have to be on stock for the update to work.
Remember that there is no direct root method for KitKat yet.

Have you changed any system files and do you have xposed running? They'll break the ota.
Edit, I should have read closer. I think there is an update.zip file you could flash in the general forum. I'll look and see if I can find it.

Ok cool, thanks again...however now another issue. I've tried several times, I can not boot into recovery. Any time I try to the phone just goes black until I let go and then reboots. Even if I get the blue print in the top left, the phone does not boot into recovery. Any idea why this would be?

If you can get into download mode you may be better off flashing the md5 and Odin. Don't know why you can't get into recovery

Me either, guess I'd just flash normally like I would a rom? Or would an update be different. I haven't done this in a while.

If you flash the tar in Odin it's going to wipe your device so backup what you can. You'll need to download the tar file to your pc and download Odin to it too if you don't already have it. You run Odin from the pc

Ok so I finally got into recovery, but am I supposed to rename the file or anything? It keeps telling me:
"-- Verify the file type of MD5, Before Install /sdcard ...
-- Install /sdcard"

Are you trying to flash the update.zip? I'd re-download it. It could be a bad download

So... pretty unhappy. Downloaded the update.zip and flashed in stock recovery, it wiped my whole phone and still didn't update. I saw a couple error messages appear as it was "updating" so now I'm still on old firmware and lost everything on my phone. Luckily I did a Kies backup but still pretty ridiculous. I still lose all save data from apps and all convenience that there was from using my phone for as long as I did. Just wanted to update, shouldn't be this big of a mess. Not sure what to do next.

Well that sucks. No idea how it works wipe you're device. It shouldn't touch the userdata. If it's truly wiped I'd Odin the nb1 tar at this point. Get it updated and start over

That's what I did and I'm finally updated, but pretty disappointed that it took all that just for an update. Hopefully things like that don't continue in future updates...
