I am running Wildstang's GB OTA from August (4.06.605.3) with a few minor problems, and I am rooted. This morning I received an update from Verizon called OTA_Incredible_C_Gingerbread_S_Verizon_WWE_4.08.605.2-4.06.60503_release_222219.zip and it is 8.58 MB. I did not receive any other OTA from Verizon.Checking the forum I see that Wildstang posted another ROM today called wildstang83_inc_ota_4.08.605.2.zip. What I would like to know is does this latest Rom from Wildstang include this small OTA I received from Verizon this morning, and what exactly is this update, and do I need it! Will this small update unroot me? What a mess Verizon created...Thanks for any info

The release # is 4.08.x.x, you're running 4.06.x.x. I think it's fixes for the 4.06 version. PM Stang and ask him.

If you're rooted it won't install, need stock recovery. But its the latest ota upgrade rooted for us flashers.

Some of these are stupid build.prop mistakes from HTC's Evo release that all the ROMs here have already corrected (screen size, Sprint vs. Verizon) -- the lack of quality control on these is appalling, by the way. Others appear to be bug fixes that are not present in any of the ROMs based on the 4.06 OTA, so you may be better off with this update. Personally, I'm waiting for Jermaine to incorporate it into his Stock+ so I can get the quick settings, advanced reboot menu, and native screen capture.

I'm running (at the moment) a copy of Pinky's ROM on a rooted Desire. So I was quite surprised when I got notified this update was available for download:
ota_bravo_htc_eu_2.10.405.2-2.09.405.8_release567cypyi0feo4th5.zip 25MB
Anyone know anything about it? And no, I wasn't stupid enough to download and install an unknown update from HTC onto a rooted and non-standard Desire. The Least that would likely happen is having to reinstall my OS; the worst is a locked and bricked unusable device.
It's too small for a new version of the official HTC set up - but it might be a substantial update...
So, anyone else got this? Know anything about it? Too new for google...
- Update : Android OS update patch
- Enhanced multi inbox Gmail support
- Improved RUS keyboard layout
It can't be applied to a custom ROM, it's been said a number of times
Hi,
Just got an AT&T Captivate Glide, and am planning to root the phone soon. However, before I do so, I'd like to get some sort of official confirmation that the 2.3.6 OTA update will actually get rid of the CarrierIQ that AT&T embedded into the stock 2.3.5 kernel. I know that once the phone is rooted, applying the 2.3.6 OTA update afterwards will not remove root (at least according to some posts here at XDA), so I am not concerned about that.
Nothing official that I've read online anywhere about the 2.3.6 OTA update specifically mentions that CarrierIQ is removed. Otherwise, I will apply the Rogers kernel which doesn't have CarrierIQ. Can someone please confirm that the 2.3.6 OTA update definitely removes CarrierIQ?
Thanks!
Pls. Search in the forum, before opening new threads.
There are several posts which have discussed these topics

Thank you for the links. However, those are the ones that I've already read a while ago. Those two pages have absolutely zero mention about CarrierIQ being removed by the 2.3.6 update. This is precisely why I started this thread...to get some sort of official confirmation from either AT&T or Samsung that this update does indeed remove CarrierIQ.
If anyone has any official information, I'd greatly appreciate it. Thanks!
Bump...anyone? I still can't find official confirmation anywhere that the 2.3.6 OTA update removes CarrierIQ.
I cant really answer your question, but someone know where to get the orginal zip file? signed for the android recovery 3e?
Anyone get the M8 system update on 12/19?
HTC lists it as an bug fix update - version 3.31.651.2
Now today (12/22), I got an update that lists it as bug fixes also with a version of 3.31.654.2
I was wondering what it's fixing as I can't find any changelog.
I am using the Sprint M8 H&K model.

I got the 651 version today, but I have the regular M8, not the HK version. I'm curious what this does as well. I wasn't able to get the previous update to 4.4.4, making me think it had been pulled. Would love to see what bug fixes they're referring to.

What I found interesting is, that they only way I found the update was selecting "check for updates" in my settings...
I never got a notification for it....
I did get the 4.4.4 though weeks ago.....
Seems HTC wants to keep what ever they are trying to fix under wraps, whose back are they watching google's or their own...
naturally I would think their own...!
Is this to do with the latest fiasco we faced with the HTC service packs (I still haven't installed the new one which has been released after the December 11th release!!!)
My wife's fully stock (4.4.2) N5110 started getting update notifications from Samsung Software Update.
Per the info, it's a 7.61 MB 'device stability and bug fixes' patch that includes security enhancements and StageFright fix.
Is there information on everything installed with this patch?
Will installing this block any future attempts at root / installing a custom ROM? (If she ever lets me; this is solely her device and doesn't care about root/ROMs )
Since this is a wifi only note8 - how vulnerable is it to stagefright if I don't patch? Everything I've read says 'stagefright is more than an MMS vulnerability' but then the details only go into the MMS vuln :|
Thanks in advance and sorry if this has been covered elsewhere - I searched and didn't find anything.
I noticed the update today and decided to install it. It did not take very long to install and the Android version number is still 4.2.2, so it doesn't seem that there is anything major. I have yet to notice any changes, but I haven't used my tablet much today I should note that I am also using the wireless version of the Note 8.0 and I have never rooted this devices.
If I learn anything else I'll post here.
It's too bad that they didn't decide to bump things up to 4.4.4 (could use those Bluetooth fixes that were introduced in 4.4.3) while they were at it.
Anyway, I just noticed that there's a new stock rom posted for the USA variant on Sammobile.com and samsung-updates.com. So this is officially "a thing." Haven't flashed it myself yet and I probably won't; I've moved on to Cyanogenmod 12.1. But it's nice to know that Samsung is still pushing out updates for this thing.

I got an OTA update yesterday (the first since I purchased the device). I think I've been spoiled by custom firmware describing exactly what each update has changed.
As far as I can tell, the info section doesn't give any details whatsoever about the update itself (e.g. if it added new features and what they are, or was just a security patch etc). Is there anything deep within the strange menu setup of this phone that gives this info, or info on the LG website with this info etc?

It might just be the April security patch.

According to J. Williams who is reviewing the US version, the software update provided an update to the audio, made the speakers seem louder.
