T-Mobile update notification not going away, but i'm rooted + custom ROM

I just rooted and flashed beast mod on my gs2. An hour after using it, T-mobile popped up in my notification tray with a new update. I'm assuming this is 2.3.6 and eventually the dev's will develop or update their roms.
I just want to make sure that I shouldn't update my phone this way, or I will be bricked?

i dont think it will brick you, but it will unroot you.

[Q] got prompted for OTA Update but i'm rooted / custom ROM?

Same Problem Here...
Hi-
I rooted my phone a month ago. I have had no problems except that when I try to download T-Mobile's software update, I get stuck in Clockwork recovery. I don't know what to do next.
Please help!
Thx!
(I rooted my phone based on Melvin's [HOWTO] ROOT T-Mobile SGSII via ODIN -- Updated Recovery on 10/20/2011 and the recovery by Bubbly in the Developer's Forum.)

Juggernaut v3.7 and Tmobile software update????
I am using Juggernaut v3.7 ROM, and my phone recently constantly show Message about upgrade the software from Tmobile. What should I do next? Flash stock rom 2.3.6 to get rid of Tmobile upgrade? and then can I flash Juggernaut v3.7 back to my phone?
Is there any way to disable (inside the code or build.prop file) the upgarde notification?

i have the same question

T-Mobile update service
Can I do the T-Mobile update while rooted on a custom rom?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium

This is going to be a hot item for most of us with rooted phones. Simply no way of knowing what will happen should we let the update go through. And just to be safe, most of us would prefer to cancel the update.
I followed someone else's advice and used Titanium Backup Pro to:
- wipe data for "Device Manager"
- "freeze" the same application
The nag is gone. I reckon this method should work for everyone with rooted phones.
Otherwise, we'd need to wait to respective ROM teams to release their own patches etc.
TB team should see a nice uptick in app purchases in next few days. The app is well worth it, so if you been on a fence, get it now, $6 well spent.

[Q]OTA Update but i'm rooted?
I just got the ota update. It says it's going to automatically update my phone in 24 hrs. Is this going to mess my phone up? I am currently rooted with. Bombradier rom. Do I need to do anything? Thanks
Sent from my SGH-T989

i am rooted with stock rom and receive the update, np at all. In your case, you have a different rom and not stock. odin probably is the best bet.

bought sgs2 last weekend and rooted using superoneclick and at the end of the day, receive ota update and update my sgs2 and i forgot that i am rooted. i left my phone to finish updating and when i came back, its up and have 2.3.6 uVKL1, did not receive any problem. battery great, wifi calling is there. im just surprised it let me update even though my phone is rooted. btw stock rom, stock kernel just rooted.

I think I'll just wait until somebody comes out with an official sticky solution because I didn't flash any ROM to mine, I just rooted it.... I don't know what to do either... Until someone posts a solution there will be several posts pertaining to this subject

Is ICS 4.0.2 latest?

So, I got my GN today and I just noticed that my OS is 4.0.2
Is that the latest and the greatest?

A few quick questions about the phone you just got:
1) Was it made in China or Korea?
2) Is the build version yakju or something like yakjuwx/yakjusc/yakuux/etc? You can find this with the Android system info app
3) Who did you buy it from?
Thanks!

Got my 4.0.2 update today in the morning (an hour ago) as well.
1. How to check that? Sticker under the battery doesn't have that info.
2. Mine is "yakjuwx". What does it say?
3. I bought mine in Lithuania/Europe and not from a mobile operator but from official store. Box says that it's made in Korea and distributor - Poland/Europe.
BTW, what has been fixed in 4.0.2?

i believe it's the latest if you're unrooted.. no official update for 4.0.3 yet..

Also recieved 4.0.2 today and got yakjuxw

My phone (i9250) just downloaded the 4.0.2 update. Upon reboot it got stuck on that android busy screen. After about half an hour I removed the battery. I could then boot into Android normally. It's still 4.0.1 and now claims there are no updates available.
My phone is rooted using the WugFresh method, but I did not install any custom ROM. Is it to be expected that a rooted Galaxy Nexus would fail OTA updates?

not an official OTA, but the official 4.0.3 update itself is right there on google's servers for any nexus user to build for themselves. Build your own zip.

There was rumor/speculation of another update release by the end of January.

Well it's February so rumours are rumours. Not being a smartass or anything. I hope we get the update soon. Some glitches are inconvenient.

Are updates carrier-centric? My phone reports that there are no updates, and I'm on 4.0.1.

He is talking about the GSM model, you have CDMA.

I hope they release the OTA soon... it's so laggy....

If you used the WugFresh tool kit to unlock and root your phone, then it installed ClockworkMod Recovery. Having CWM on your phone will prevent it from receiving OTA updates.
IMHO if you've unlocked and rooted your phone, it's time for a custom rom. There are some really good, stable roms out there using 4.0.3. And the developers update far more frequently than you'd recieve OTA updates.
Don't be scared, the developers have made it as easy as they possibly could. Before a month ago, I'd never run anything but a stock phone. I'm still a complete noob, but I've run three different custom roms, flashed kernels, radios, and added mods... Just follow directions, always back-up, and if things get hairy, you've a large community of really smart people who are willing to help.

Considering they haven't even started rolling out 4.0.2 in some regions, I think we have a bit of a wait on our hands.

Its region-specific. Read up on this whole argument over "yakju" vs "yakju**" phones.

No need to unroot. The update will still work even with root. However, you need to flash back the stock recovery, or the update won't install automatically.

If you get OTA root keeper https://market.android.com/details?id=org.projectvoodoo.otarootkeeper by supercurio you won't even loose root after the update, well thats the idea. Our phone is supported and I'm waiting to try it out.

Do you have the GSM version or the CDMA version?
ICL53F is the latest update for the GSM version. If you have the CDMA version, just update it manually. Look here.

You can run root apps, but don't have a custom ROM. If you don't need root apps, then don't root

Could be wrong but last I checked 4.0.2 was the last official OTA for the CDMA nexus as well. Only two or so people received 4.0.4 and that was a fluke. But like I said, I could be wrong.

This is true. 4.0.2 is the latest official OTA for GSM and CDMA. Until 4.0.4 is rolling out to everyone, I don't call it "official".

It may not be widespread yet, but if there is an official download link available (i.e., like this http://android.clients.google.com/p....signed-mysid-IMM30B-from-ICL53F.659e0a8f.zip), in my opinion it's pretty official.

[Q] OTA update hesitant

Someone flashed me to 4.1.1 and told me not to do the OTA update when I get it and I am unsure his reasoning. I have just received the OTA update and am hesitant to do so cause he told me I shouldn't this is my build.

Please let me know if I should accept the OTA or not I am very noob when it comes to this stuff and thanks

Maybe he rooted your phone too, and didn't want the update to break root.

Root doesn't prevent OTA updates from installing. However, installing the update will unroot the phone unless you use something like CWM which can keep root for you.

I tried the OTA but it shows an android with a Red sign in his belly. So basically I want to get my phone back to where I can get updates straight from Google and I don't need my phone rooted. Is this possible? If so I need instructions lol Much appreciated!

Of course. And after promising the update after advertising it they halt it. And they put out no official posting of this that I could find. Or the person you talked to is full of it because they don't know why you have not got it and don't want to bother or don't know how to figure it out. The last is the most likely.
Now of it is true about the bug I wonder if they will push the bug free version out to everyone again.

when i connected my s3 to kies it says my 4.1.1 is the latest firmware
so did att stop rolling out the update?

You updated via Kies? I believe AT&T is only updating OTA, not through Kies.
Also, I was pure stock, but rooted. The update failed. It left my phone half updated and I couldn't get it to update, even after unrooting. This appears to be what happened to most rooted 4.1.1 phones on AT&T.
I had to flash back to stock via Kies in order for the update to work.

I was on 4.1.1 rooted and updated to 4.1.2 via OTA. What method did you use to re-root your phone?

Oh I'm sorry. Since this is an AT&T forum I just assumed.
I'm sure in a worse case scenario you can just flash it back to stock. I choose to use Kies because then I didn't have to download the correct firmware like you do with Odin.
The flash counter still says 1, but the Device Status did reset to Normal. Of course I lost root.

Rooting for 4.1.2
I'd love to know a proper way to root without tripping the counter on 4.1.2. I rooted the other day and now it wont let me turn on my wifi. Good thing the phone was only a month old lol, new phone is already on the way from AT&T. Any help is greatly appreciated as I have searched and googled already.

I don't think rooting enables tripping the counter. From what I understand, Tripping flash counter occurs when you flash a custom recovery on jellybean. Best method is to just reset the flash counter when you are going to unroot your phone by using the TriangleAway app: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1494114
