Before anyone flames you, this is supposed to be in Q&A section. I hope someone answers this for you. I have no experience forcing an update or I would gladly give you advice. Sorry

Sorry about the placing. I thought since I was combining two topics about rooting, it should have been here. Sorry guys. I dont know who moves these things but feel free to. Sorry again.

if you've already removed apps you will have to start over with the downgrading section most likely, but it seems to me like you missed a step somewhere
Ok, I dont know where I am in the process. Like I said, I have apps deleted, superuser, tianium, rom manager. All that. So you suggest starting the downgrade process. Can you send a link please. I am on 2.2 not 2.2.1 and I have s off.
Your best bet is to go back to the force 2.2.1 thread and force the upgrade.
You can check root access in android terminal emulator.
Open it up and type "su" without the quotes. If it come up with the # symbol you have root. If not you don't.

Yea, you have to restore all the stock apps from what I heard too.
Typed "su" in terminal. I got the pound sign. So im rooted. But to clarify. In order to force that 2.2.1 update I will need to install all apps again then use the guide to force the update.
There is a stock ota backup on here somewhere, use it to get 2.2.1 if you really are rooted.

if you have clockwork recovery installed all you need to flash is the update.zip... BUT if you can't get those apps reinstalled it probably won't work... but that depends on which apps you removed and I don't know for sure which ones matter
What apps are removed? You should be able to adb push them back to your phone then just boot into clockwork and flash the update.zip
EDIT:
Dont give up on Android just yet, this phone is a bit harder to get updated and rooted than most..just takes a bit of patience is all...you'll get it.
couple questions
Ok, I can not use adbs so anything with adb I can not do but thanks. Also How do I get into clockwork recovery? I deleted asphalt 5 game, the demo videos, the tmobile app pack.
Why cant you use adb?
To get into clockwork, you can try using rom manager and selecting boot into recovery or you can power off your phone, pop out your battery for a sec to kill the quick boot then reboot it by holding down the volume down and pushing the power button for a few seconds, release the power while still holding the volume down.
reason for no adb
I use a school pc and thus have no administrator rights to run adb commands. I have rom manager installed but everytime I do the thing that says boot into recovery, it just takes me to a screen with an exclamation point.
Sounds like you dont have clockwork installed.
Go into your rom manager app and select install clockwork recovery
Please post all questions in Q&A section.
Sorry guys.I gave up. I just turned s back on and did a hard reset. Hope I dont get charged. Thanks for everything.

find the DL09 Verizon official odin package http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=908451 . it will update EVERYTHING including radio to DL09. Then re root using ADB again. get CWM using CWM install thread here on XDA, then flash this rom. done.
make sure you flash DL09 in "PDA" NOT "phone" using ODIN.
so please dont mind my ignorant qquestions.. but im not familier with odin ive read a bit about it.. but do i need to unroot before i do that.. or not.. and cant i just say f adb and use a one click at that point?
Before you install the complete stock DL09 package posted above (which is resistant to one-click rooting, by the way), consider this option:
1. Download the DL09 modem by itself here: http://adrynalyne.us/files/roms/DL09modem.tar
2. Download Odin here:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/458252/Odin Files/Odin3 v1.3.exe
3. Pull battery from device
4. Launch Odin
5. Hold volume down button and plug device into computer
-This will place the device into download mode
6. Verify device shows up in odin
7. Click "PDA" button in odin
8. Select "DL09modem.tar" from where you downloaded it
9. Click "Start"
10. Congratulations - you now have the DL09 modem installed. Now you're ready to install your froyo build using Clockwork recovery. Might I suggest this (http://www.mediafire.com/?f282mms2jb2ra2q) one?
If you are on windows just use Odin. It is very easy and you are okay if rooted. Just make sure you read instructions. There is one button that can be painful if you don't know what you are doing.

Maybe we can request him/her to release another version of the app without the "phone" button.

Granted, it seems like an involved process, but most advice posts group most of these steps into one, like saying "Flash DL09 modem in Odin" without actually explaining how to do so, since there are other posts that can be found in this forum with these more detailed instructions.
Believe me, if you flash the entire DL09 stock package, rooting will be much harder to do. If you flash this package, you probably will have to root using adb again, since as far as I know no one-click root method has worked consistently on the stock DL09 ROM.
and i need to root again b4 flashing 2.2 i have rom manager and titainium backup.. .so to save all of my paid apps.. i just back them up using ti backup right???
and one more thing.. the link you posted for 2.2 theres no info on it.. what makes it so special

If you only installed the DL09 modem using Odin, you shouldn't have to root again... if you installed the entire DL09 package, you will need to re-root.
Regarding Titanium Backup, go ahead and back up your apps, use Clockwork recovery to install your DL30 build, then reinstall Titanium Backup and do a batch restore (I'm assuming you already know how to use Titanium Backup, but I'll be glad to walk you through it if you don't). You should only back up and restore user apps, NOT system data! (choose "backup all user apps" from the batch menu when backing up, and choose either "restore missing apps with data" when restoring - do NOT choose "restore missing apps + all system data"). Restoring system data after making the jump from Eclair to Froyo is almost guaranteed to cause problems.
ur going to get all kinds of thanks ur awesome dude.. ok backup is done.. u said to use clockwork recovery to install dl30.. i just use odin. for d109 and then put the dl30 file on my sd card and install it through clockwork??? right.. n can i backup contacts too??? or will google save them?? and theres no chance of losing pictures or nething else on my sd card is there??

Sorry it took me so long to get back to you... had to take a powernap... you shouldn't lose anything on your sd card... I've flashed countless ROMs, kernels, themes, etc. without losing anything. Contacts should be good, too. Just to be safe, though, you might want to make sure your contacts and calendar appointments are saved and/or synced to your google account and not just stored on your phone.

yes they are.. awesome.. well im gong to give my daughter a bath put her to bed.. and go for it ill def let you know how it goes.. thank you sooooo much
So I have a rooted play on 2.3.3.
Previously I used OTA to update and keep my root.
However, the latest update will not apply. It downloads, installs...then says can't apply.
I have not removed any apps, and I have unfroze the apps I froze.
So, looks like I am going to have to do a complete roll back and update again.
If I do a complete backup in Titanium, can I simply reinstall everything easily once I get back?
ps. What is the best way to do this so I can keep my root. Previously I downgraded, then rooted, then updated via OTA.
Thanks!
Yes you will be able to restore your TB, when updated, with no problems.
Yes just do it as previously and the OTA to newest firmware will still preserve root.
Regards Dousan...
Thanks Dousan.
Any thoughts on why the OTA update is failing currently?

I've seen a few with the same issue as you. They also only froze bloat but still no success when OTA after defrost? It might not like any tampering at all with system apps whether it's just freezing or modifying them. Any kind of tampering might leave a trail SE updates detects and then abort updating. Just a guess.
You're welcome, just glad to help out
Regards Dousan...
I unfroze my apps (didnt remove anything off the phone) and applied the ota update no problems . Maybe as Dousan has said you froze something that is safe to uninstall/freeze but once unfroze it is possibly not be running properly or SE has detected it being modified in someway.
Also if you have the pro version of titanium make more than one backup or make another backup of the most important apps data individually since sometimes the backups may be corrupt (might not happen, but better safe than sorry).
Freezing something that is not safe does not affect the ota updating. It's when you delete something that is safe that screws it. I ota updated to the xloud patch with about 15 stock programs frozen.

Is this the one that lets you take pics with the R button and focus with L?

It might, though I don't think so as it installs in /data/app as other non stock/system apps. Try it out it wouldn't hurt.

Nah, it didn't fix it.
I think I will wait until the big update comes out and go the way of downgrading then rooting then updating clean.
Must have been something I did.
My phone kept nagging me to update and I kept exiting out. Apparently somehow I hit install and it updated. I'm on 4.4.4 according to the phone, I don't remember what I was on before I might have been on 4.4.2. I used these files to downgrade from Lollipop previously:
G900VVRU1ANK2_G900VVZW1ANK2_G900VVRU1ANK2_HOME.tar and G900V_NCG_Stock_Kernel.tar
How do I regain root?
Downgrade your Device & root it via previous method,Which you use before.

4. If you do not already have root access you must first flash the G900VVRU1ANCG_Full_Odin.tar (flash in Odin's PDA slot(AP in Odin v3.09+)), root with Towelroot (this version does not require internet access), then proceed with the above process.

Yes, this is actually for the S5.
The difference is all the FCs you have to wade through. Also, the one I suggested is a clean and complete reinstall. It will wipe your SD card and you start fresh. Both will work provided you are not on lollipop. If you are on lollipop you should use the method I suggested.

FC = force close (aka crash)
SDM - Samsung Data Migration (freeze update software)
Not to answer for tulsadiver... but in my opinion wiping ensures you get rid of any stray "orphan" files that may be even a little borked. Has happened to me before so wiping is often a good way to go.

I do have safestrap but last time I used it screwed up my last S5 thats why I had to buy a new one. It's a long story but it got stuck in download mode when i went into recovery. There has to be a way I can get S-Health to work correctly without Odin!? And I have multiple G900 tar files from users saved on my computer. This one you sent is new to me.
It's one of the original ones. I use it all the time on my spare phone (I've been experimenting a lot mainly with flashfire). It does a full wipe. Like a brand new phone afterwards. A moot point since you don't have Odin. Safestrap has saved me a lot of heartache, never caused me any. I would be happy to pull whatever files you need but what those would be, I don't know. I have RicksRom on my sdcard so I have access to all its system files.

I'm still trouble shooting the issue with s health. Currently in process of uninstall health service then s-health, reboot then install service first. See if it helps. I do appreciate all your help in this matter and hope you can get me the orignal files needed for this. Is the samsung account still an issue? I installed that apk you sent and login to my account with no problems. All that can be sync is calendar it says. I'm a bit worried using safestrap to be honest after my ordeal with my last phone. I cant take chances ruining this phone by mistakes, especially since i'm going out of state for nearly just over a week starting this weekend.

THANKS FOR THE HELP! Well I figured out somehow I fixed it after reading another xda fourm in conjunction with uninstalling s-health and health service then reinstalling them. I installed also a modified s-health app that works along side xposed frameworks. :good:
