Okay so most of us already had mannually updated ours to the ics version. Are we still be receiving their future updates via ota even though we manually update ours?
We won't know until it happens... but you should be able to revert back to an HC build. If not I'm sure the update.zip for the final version will be posted eventually and you'll be able to upgrade to that.

Hello, i have one little question about leaked ICS build.
If i install ICS, will i get next OTA update or im stuck with this version?
You may get stuck with this version if you do, but you can simply downgrade to honeycomb and take the ota officially if that happens.
Jumping the gun a little, but I want to prepare my data.
Would it be smarter to flash a Stock Gingerbread ROM before receiving the OTA for ICS when the time comes? I still get the stupid EL29 notification. I am not looking to get rid of it.... it just does nothing. But in the future after the OTA for ICS- I want to make sure I don't see this again.
I think its a good question on whether or not the OTA's include enough to jump previous OTA's with that answered ( was thinking something similar the other day) you will know if you need to be on EL29 or not anyways.
To recieve via OTA you should be on a rather stock rom with root being an okay change. But your going to lose root eitherway. Any changes and or coming from a non official rom can result in a disaster.
To go to a rooted ICS you should just ODIN the tar when it becomes available. Same way you would root an EL29 phone since EK02 is the last version that can be zerged. The official updates if not here the day of is usually only a day or two off from being available here in rooted tar form.
Hey guys.
I am thinking about installing ICS leak but what if official ICS release afterward?
The OS will be exactly same so I do not need to do anything?
or I still need to upgrade or something to be an official version?
if so, there is no problem while upgrading? (leak -> official) no crash?
Thank you!
In my opinion, it could be a problem. I seriously doubt the official release will use an exe file to update the phone, like the leak used. Therefore, the official updating process through OTA or the LG Support Tool might not work.
Of course people will say you just have to unbrick it to the stock V10f ROM. Problem is, when I did that, the OTA update process nor the LG Support Tool would update my phone. Something broke it. I even unrooted it, but no dice. I kept getting a notice for an OTA update, but the install would always fail at 2%. When I used the support tool that I got straight from the LG website, it kept telling me my phone was up to date.
Fortunately I was still in my 30 day trial and I was having hardware issues with it (normal temps of 110°F and basically no battery life). I only installed the leak in the hopes that it would fix it, but it didn't. Even going back to V10f didn't help. My new phone runs great, so I'm waiting for the official ROM.
You guys know any plan for the official?
The official for Korean Nitro was already released in this month.
Can you get OTA on AOKP? I switched back to EL29 Gingerbread. But it keeps saying no firmware update is available so I'm just wondering if they would of missed me or something.
I want the update they send out to the phones just incase of anything, such as modems and connection issues.

Any of the custom ROMs built on FF18 will contain the same thing that OTA had - it has been checked against the leak already.
And no, you cannot pick up OTA on AOKP - stock (rooted/unrooted) only.
If you were still running AOPK, no you wouldn't see it. But since you flashed back to EL29 you will get the OTA. From what I've read the OTA is rolling out in waves. Your region may not have had it rolled out yet.
Why don't you just flash the rooted OTA from the dev section??? Again from what I've read there were no changes made to the OTA from the leaked version of FF18. And word to the wise, if you were to take the OTA you would have to root all over again.
If your having radio or signal issues try flashing a couple different modems till you find one the works for your area.

So I found out that I have Jelly Bean sitting in my queue for a OTA update. Went to install it but I cannot because I am rooted. I have scoured the internet to find out the best method of getting this update on my phone but have been successful in truly finding a solution. I am new to the android platform and just got my SGS3 a few weeks ago.
Not sure if I should unroot my phone first (looks like I just flash ICS back on to my phone to remove root?) or if there is a version of the official OTA release floating around that I could use to flash over without need of unrooting.
I have spent 2 days searching the internet, reading these forums, and watching youtue videos but I still do not have a clear understanding for what I am asking which is why I have posted.
I understand new software sometimes has a waiting period before you are able to update it with hacked system.. is that what we are in right now? Waiting for the proper resources to be updated to allow this update?
Thanks!
you can go into your superuser app and unroot but im pretty sure it is not a jb ota
More than likely, it's just the LH9 firmware update. Still ICS,and not JB. IF you want the update, there is a thread that has it as flashable zips.

oh ok, i see the leak but I was hoping to use an official release so it was "100%" functional. I guess I will wait. Thanks for the helpful response!
