Where is LG8? - Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III

So there is all of this talk about reverting back to stock LG2 in order to get LG8. But I have been stock since I bought my phone and I am still not getting the OTA notification for LG8. I have tried to go to system updates and search for the update, but the phone keeps telling me that I am already up to date. Are they not fully rolled out yet? I'd rather not odin install this.
Thanks.

You have to wait, the OTA will be pushed to you. I was refreshing over and over for a couple days and didn't get it.

Usually it takes about a week for the OTA to be pushed out. Phones are notified in random order.

Still haven't received OTA.

I still haven't received the OTA, and I'm not rooted or anything. Is anyone else not received it? Am I doing something wrong?

My only would download when I was on wifi, it stopped with I was in 3g.
Will this un-root me?
I'm coming from an EVO 4G to the Epic 4G Touch. I did the non-Odin root method, does anyone know if this OTA will un-root the Epic?

The update will fail if you're rooted. You have to be stock to update via OTA. Why not manual update + root?

Typically the OTA install fails on a rooted device. Undo root first if you want the update sprint's rolling out.

How did you do the manual update, I really want to do it.

I used the zerg rush method that's been listed here to root my phone so I can use TitaniumBackup for my work apps (Good/RSA). I tried other ROMs/Kernels but I got horrible LOS unless I was on stock. I haven't tried since EK02 though but will soon.
I applied the patch with root and it applied successfully. I manually downloaded the leaked zip to my desktop, renamed to update.zip, placed on the root of my SDCARD, booted the phone in to download mode and applied the update.
Update applied without issue but my root WAS removed. I re-ran the auto root using that zerg rush method and my root was back. This was last week and so far no issues.
Pick a ROM...there's lots to choose from...Calk's, StrongSteve, Crawrj, Chris41g...(just to name a few) we've got a slew of brilliant dev's who have cooked up some great ones. Make sure you're on an EG30 modem first before a full EK02 update/flash though. Most of us flashed the EG31 when it leaked and were stuck for a bit.
The one...The only...E4GT
got the update this morning
I got the update this morning, and for the record, I was and remained rooted before and after the update (sfhub ez-root)...Maybe it worked since my system was completely stock, only rooted.

That is correct, if you only ROOTED using the auto root sticky, that will not impede you from successfully installing the EK02 OTA update. If you also installed EG30+CWM, then all you would need to do is install EG30 before accepting the EK02 OTA update.
BTW after the OTA update installed, you would still have Superuser in your app drawer, but the functionality would have been disabled. To re-enable, just run the auto root and choose Option A.
Still haven't gotten the update...on complete stock with no root or anything and EG30
For some reason LoS has gotten really bad the past few days...I guess I only have to wait a few more though so it's not too bad

Received it this morning, so happy going to root now.

I got the update this morning (out of no where). Yesterday, I tried putting my phone on airplane mode, turn it off, then pull the battery - nothing. Tried putting phone on airplane mode, pull the battery, then turn airplane mode off - nothing. (This worked for somebody on some ET4G forum out there) Lol, I just think it's ironic!
Just be patient.
Anyone know of a way to disable the update notification?
I don't want it popping up every 10 minutes.

I woke up to the "your update is ready to install message" message. I'm rooted on blazer 1.2, if i want to stay where I'm at, can I just reboot to clear the update? I just don't feel like reinstalling apps and restoring sms.

[Q]Telus no OTA?

Is it just me or does the Telus S2X not have the OTA update section in about?
I recently flashed back to stock, is it because of that, or just in general Telus Rom's dont have OTA updates? I was looking at my uncles Rogers Note and he had the Software section, and I may be wrong but I could swear my S2X had it too before rooting...
Thanks!
I can't remember if it had it for sure, but knowing Telus, it won't be ota. That's more money then they are willing to spend.
It'll probably be a dl, flash through Odin thing

I don't think it TELUS pushing the update to your phone. I think it's Samsung after they have cleared it with TELUS.
You should get a message at some point saying something along the lines of "there is a firmware update for your phone, but if you download it without a data plan, you are going to get a 4-digit phone bill." Regardless, OTA or no OTA, you probably want to download it through Odin, or at least Wi-Fi. This is firmware you are downloading, if it doesn't download correctly, your phone might upgrade to the Doorstop edition instead.
Most likely it will be rolled out via Kies.

What update? for 4.0.3 ?
I don't think there is even a date for that.
Definitely no defined date yet but soon to be (April 30 - ?? [http://www.androidcentral.com/galaxy-series-ics-updates-arriving-today-say-samsung-canada]).
If Kies doesn't prompt for an update, you can follow here:

Expected early June update from Telus.

OTA on AOKP?

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.

no ota for me?

I keep seeing that an ota came out, but I can't seem to get it, I keep checking update and firmware to no avail.
it's there an issue with my phone or does it take time for it to travel through the county?
I'm rooted with the original root method (the very first method) could this be hosting back my update? I haven't uninstalled or disabled any bloatware yet and I'm completely stock aside from the root

It could just be taking forever to roll out also. I'm not rooted and I haven't gotten mine yet either.

Same here completely stock and still nothing. Tomorrow will be day 4, so either tomorrow or the next day. I was waiting to get this and do a little more reading on rooting before I put on the jellybomb ROM most likely. Still learning about launchers and themes and such, along with the whole backup process
like you guys I waited and waited until I found a thread on how to manually update it so far its great.
If you are rooted, you cannot take the update. eventually it will prompt you to update, but you wont be able to. for now you will have to wait until they have a stock rom with the update, or unroot and take the update. IF you unroot you can manually take the update by following qbking77's instructions.

[Q] My S3 wont update

I got the notification for the update a few days ago, but my phone wont update.
It's currently on 4.4.2 and I'm not certain what version it's trying to update too.
I took a picture of what happens when I try and update it, and I can provide any more info, just ask

It's probably the NJ2 update, if your not completely 100% stock unrooted, it will fail.

Thanks for the quick respond. I rooted it in the past, but I unrooted to update it. Can you point me to any guides that would help me get it back to normal?
