I'm new to rooting but I rooted my EVO in June via a link posted of HTCEVOHACKS.COM and I continue to get a message to do the OTA updates. When I try to click yes it downloads but the files are then corrupted and when they try to install the phone shows a picture of the EVO and a red question mark, then it shuts off. Am I not able to get OTA updates with the EVO rooted? Since it is a new phone I would like to get some updates when glitches are found. I also want to get the FROYO update on Tuesday when Sprint releases it. Any help on how to continue to stay rooted and get updates or how to get FROYO when released by my carrier would be awesome. Again, I'm now to this so if this process could be explained in simple terms, that would help too.
Go to the dev section and download the rooted Froyo update, flash it just like any custom rom. Read in the OP it will tell you what to do and what order to do it in, presto you have all updates and still have root.
Thanks. I'm going to try that now. I guess I didn't realize that you couldn't get OTA updates after you rooted your phone.

You NEVER want to take an OTA after you root your phone. Most Roms will block them out now. Why you ask? because it will unroot you and then you have to wait and see when/if will be rootable with the new patch which can take a while.
So always check for updates int he dev pages for roms using the new patches when they come out, never take an OTA if you are asked, and enjoy your root

You definitely dodged a bullet with this one. If the OTA would have worked, you would have lost root and been stuck unless/until somebody figured out a way to root Froyo. Consider yourself lucky.
the other thread is getting way too long and still no clear answer if anyone in the US is getting the OTA normally or through clearing services framework method. i believe some people were able to get it that way, but in UK
I'm on 4.0.04 takju and still haven't received the OTA update. My check now button is starting to wear out haha
On a side note, how does google determine who gets the update first?
got restless and just updated using toolkit 7.3 and booting to custom recovery. jelly bean is awesome.
does new OTA remove universal search?
Is the new OTA on verizon galaxy nexi the one that removes universal search?

Lol agreed. I'm wearing out the check button as well but I'm still seeing "Your system is currently up to date".
Sigh.

There's no OTA for the Verizon one, and we probably won't see it for a couple months.
And no, 4.1.1 doesn't remove universal search. Its probably going to be removed with updates to the Search app via the Play Store. It doesn't need an OS update.

The "check now" button isn't going to do anything if your IMEI hasn't been selected to take the OTA. They roll out in waves and it doesn't matter where you are or what your carrier is. Just wait for it and stop worrying, or flash it manually.
i have a swiss galaxy nexus (gsm) and i haven't yet recieved the jelly bean ota update. i have tried the google services framework trick, i even factroy reset the phone, but there is still no update. i know that not all phones get the update on the same time, but since the nexus s has started getting the update i think i should have got mine by now.. (i haven't rooted the phone and i dont want to) is there some kind of problem? should i wait? should i install it manually? what should i do?
i would bet you are not on the yakju version of the software.
use this to get to that version if you want the OTA for JB: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1626895

thanks, that worked for me. turns out samsung was responsible for my phone's updates, not google :silly:
I have seen that the official Jelly Bean update has come out from Verizon for the Galaxy Nexus, but my phone doesn't see it.
My phone is rooted but has no custom ROMs installed. Is anyone else having this issue or are you able to update? I'm just trying to figure out why my phone doesn't see the update. I go through Settings/About Phone/System Updates and it says that 4.0.4 is up to date with no other updates.
Do i have to un-root the phone to get the official update?
Thanks
Try dialing *#*#checkin#*#*

no, you dont need to unroot to ota.

Thanks for the info. I tried the 'checkin' but the update still didn't appear. Guess I'll just have to give it another day or so before I resort to calling Verizon (the horror!) and complain to them about it.

No the status of your phone being rooted or not will not change whether you're notified of the OTA. It will always notify you. If you're rooted and kept a custom recovery, the OTA will not be able to automatically install. Also, if you've changed or removed any files in the /system/ folder, the OTA will likely fail. If you've changed your radio the OTA will not apply either.

Have a read of the first and second posts in this stickied thread. It will show you how to install the update yourself, and any prerequisites.
You checked "Yes this is a question"

There's a new OTA update available for the Galaxy S4 SGH-M919V variant from Wind Mobile, Eastlink, Videotron in Canada.
This is the update that finally brings the much awaited Apps2SD feature to our phones. It also includes the following enhancements:
- Some new icons in the settings
- Additional 'Smart Pause' button in quick settings
- Stability improvements
- Upgrades the camera firmware.
- Storage shown as 16GB now, but 6.38 GB is occupied by System memory under 'Misc'.
Firmware version: M919VVLUAMG1
So its official. TMo is the last carrier on Earth to get this update.

Unfortunately, it appears to be the case as of now. I really can't imagine it being that far off now. Since, these versions are identical!
Will the update kill ROOT?

The OTA will fail to update if you're rooted.
I had to Odin back to stock and then apply the OTA update.
So yes, the update will break root.
I haven't tried to root it since, so I can't report any progress there.

It failed because it said your device is modified and prevent you from updating or it failed in the middle of updating?
tmobile needs to speed up this apps to sd update.....
I love how they are trying to hide the space the system uses under miscellaneous. This might trick people into not complaining about having more available disk space. I've heard good things about this update... Just want it already.
Still lovin' Tmo more than Sprint!!! 15-26mb beats 100k all day long. And I enjoy being able turn the camera sound off without rooting.

man, i got excited for a minute when i read new firmware update.
T-Mobile is usually quick to send out updates, I wonder why it's taking them long to release this one? The S3 got the JB update pretty quick if I'm not mistaken.

you can blame me for the update not being released and it wont be released for months, according to my sources. I talked to t mobile about all the bugs they have, so they said fine, we will do everything never to give bugs again, hence a long update period...It was probably my phone calls that lead to this wait

You son of a ..... ;__; :crying:
I realize it's always an agonizing wait to get your hands on the newest firmware. However, there's a bright side to it. You all are still able to root and tinker with your devices.
I haven't been able to root the newest firmware using motochopper and am hesitant to try CF-Autoroot because in the case it does trip the flash counter and I loose root, I won't be able to reset it.
So, by the time tmobile sends out the update, there hopefully is a way to root.

Next time if your already rooted you can grab the app voodoo OTA Rootkeeper, which should be able to protect and reapply root after an update.

Thanks for that tip. However, I doubt it would've worked because since I was rooted, the update failed to complete installing around 25%. So, I had to odin back to stock and then apply the OTA. Probably something to do with a locked bootloader.
Under About Phone/Status, where you 'Official'?

Yeah, the phone status was 'Official'. You'd have to be in order to get OTA updates/notifications.
Initially upon rooting, the status changed to 'Custom', But I followed the guide below to revert it to 'Official' while retaining root.

Nothing against Canada but can't believe they got an update before the U.S. model.
