Updates (for Samsung-updated phones)

I forget the yshkxklchzl whatever it is name, but I've checked out the Dev section and all I see are ROMs
I like vanilla - wondering if there's update.zip files out there for 4.0.2 or better. I'm unlocked and rooted - I have the OS that updates via Samsung not Google.
Thanks

dang, thought we'd have those cool update.zip releases just like on my old Nexus One!
guess not??

There are no official updates more recent than 4.0.2. You can follow the instructions in this thread to change your phone to yakju (updates from Google) and install the latest official 4.0.2.

I'm actually looking for 4.0.2 ... it's out for my version but I don't see it posted anywhere...

If you're talking about that Android Central article about the Bell update, they never verified if it was correct and assumed the user that emailed them knew what he was talking about. NOBODY with yakjuux has received 4.0.2 or has been able to confirm they also got the update.

oh boooooooooooooo yeah that's what I was referring to I thought yakjuux would have gotten updated by now.
not that i'm complaining, 4.0.1 is great. Just heard a few minor speed/battery improvements were coming so....

Try this.

I thought I had system updates disabled so I was kinda surprised by the notification. I knew LI3 was out a week or two ago but never received the notification so I was confident it was frozen by titanium backup. Upon further inspection, I never froze that process.
Thank you for the link, that's a really easy upgrade although I wasn't that concerned with LI3. I'll double check next time before posting what firmware I'm on and if my update is truly frozen. I wonder if there should be a sticky with information about the most current OTA and leaks, maybe not all the links but at least their ID's and when they were released as OTA or leaked to the community, with a short description of what we believe is included, not to discount the search bar but that may help with at least some of those 100's of posts (aparently including mine)

So freezing System Update 1.0.48 with titanium will prevent the OTA update pop up?

Search the Q&A thread.... Your question has been answered many times.

[Q] stock user - to upgrade or not to upgrade

Hello,
can anyone give me a simple answer (i am a stock user - i don't want to root or flash just to keep things simple and stock) should i go a head and accept the upgrades from Tmobile (usa) or not. When 4.3 came out there was a lot of stuff on the internet that this upgrade was messing up people's phones - is still the case? most of what i read here deals with people having problems with the upgrades and rooting or flashing rom but what if you are just a stock user - what is the latest feeling on these upgrades?
thanks

T9 keyboard option lost

I have done a Google search and found out that the T9 keyboard option no longer exists after the update, if this is the case, you can always use a T9 keyboard in Google Play called Google Pinyin Input which includes a T9 option.

I would not update for any reason. There isn't something special with the last 4.3 update and this one. People did experience signal issues with both updates though. If it aien't broke don't fix it.
Sure there are discussions about certain vulnerabilities. Nothing that can be fixed by installing a couple of apps from the store.

Not only that
We loose the benefit of custom ROM installation by the update of the baseband :crying:

[Q] New Software Update?

Hey guys, my Spring Galaxy S3 got a notification a few days ago saying "System update downloaded, Android system update."
I'm running 4.4.2 stock and I'm rooted. I have no idea what this update is. The size is 83.6 MB. If this is a proper update, I will probably lose root and I don't want that. Does anyone know what this update is specifically? And how can I get rid of it from showing up on my notifications if I chose not to update?
Thanks!

Some discussion over in the General and Development forums. Look for "NJ2".
Consensus is you will lose root, this breaks TowelRoot but not other methods.
Official description is "HD Voice Icon support, Google security patches".
Haven't seen any noticeable differences from the prior version.

Awesome thanks for the information! Sadly I did root with Towelroot. Is there a way to just get rid of this update from my phone?

N5110 Stock stagefright patch info?

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.
