Im not a fan of this new update. I use to never loose my data but now I do all the time. It sucks.

I updated to lg8, had major problems with pandora, then reverted back to the LEN radio/modem and pandora works great again.

Your baseband may be lg8 but when you flashed blazer your Rom went back to lg2

I just got this phone today and had this update get me right out of the box. I also rooted the phone afterwards so I'm guessing the update won't hurt anything.

Thanks.

How can I be getting the update. If. I'm on juggernaut? Is this possible? It would probably brick my phone?

I'm assuming this is the update for 2.3.6 and wifi calling?
I got the same OTA notification, running Juggernaut 3.7
Did you guys install the update? Or just get a notification?

I don't mind updating via OTA (I'm on BeastMod now), but what I don't want to do its lose root and have to restore all the data manually.

It was a notification for the update with an option to install or postpone; I'm going to postpone mine as long as I can....not sure what that update will do being that I'm rooted and on Juggernaut.
I'm sure one of the dev teams will take the OTA and roll it into a ROM so we can get the update and keep everything that we're used to.
I'm still on stock and yet to get update. sucks!
Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk
I got the update notification too and I'm also running Juggernaut 3.7.
I'm using the EagleBlood ROM and I received the update notification today. I'm postponing it as long as I can, but is there a way to just reject the update? It's annoying seeing the icon in my notification bar.
Can any of you just pull the link please? It would be a great help to many people. Everyone keeps posting about it and that is not helping anyone.

The update is already rooted and posted. Along with the new basebands.

Yes but not all of us want to use Odin. I am very much aware of its presence in the development section. However, i can assure you that i am not alone in wanting the link/zip.

Link for what? I'm not following you. Are you wanting the actual ota zip? If so, someone who has been notified of the update can use root explorer and go to /data/cache and grab the zip.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk
I guess someone else tried running this update and it just took them to CMW and didn't give them the update. I just froze "device manager" from TB so i don't have those annoying update arrows. I will wait for the new juggernaut when they update it. I'm in no rush

Just got 4.0.4 OTA upgrade notice from sprint!

Of course I cant install it because I'm rooted. going to go back to stock and try my luck!

Why bother? why not just download any of the pre-rooted versions of this and save yourself the time.
Sad you just got your notice, others got it weeks ago.
You're probably going to root again anyway, so why not use the one click ff18 that's already rooted? also, you didn't have to wait for the ota, you could've had this weeks ago. The ota and ff18 leak have been verified to be exactly the same release

Yeah I didnt know that the leaked FF18 would end up being the official release.
Rooting was no big deal. I've already rooted, and replaced the kernel on the OTA update.
Anyone know of a good rom that has fixed all of the issues with the OEM ICS?

I think the latest for our phone is UVLH2, so not sure what you are seeing. But you will need to be on UVLH2 to get any official OTA.

Samsung is pissed you're running a leaked firmware and is pushing that update to hard brick your device. You have 24hrs till your phone is a paperweight. Sorry dude.

JB is weak in my opinion. I flashed the official jb to my bros quad version earlier today and basically sucks if you are already on a leaked jb or custom jb rom. Very dissapointing.

Had one the other week and it was only a kernel update. Got one today and it seemingly does nothing.
TMO has consistently forced updates to be done through Kies.
Anyone know a way to make the SGH-T989 ignore OTA updates? TMO & Samsung have dropped the ball enough that I don't care about any updates they create.

Did you update with Kies? I connected my T989D to Kies the other day to see if there would be any issues to prepare for in anticipation of official 4.1. When I tried to update (I know the update didn't exist yet), Kies said that the device could not be initialized. When I had done this before installing TWRP and rooting, I didn't get the error message.
I'm on stock 4.0.4 from Koodo and using the newest version of Kies (2.5.something??). The Kies backup and syncing options seemed to be fine.
I have assumed that I will have to go back to unrooted with stock recovery to get the update via Kies.

Not going to make a new thread for this easy Q so ill ask here (its on topic).
Today I connected to Kies and saw there is an update for my ICS. This would be the 3rd update, and I noticed after under Kernel, it has an unusually long name with "SMP Preemenpt Mon Jan 14" in the name, What is this last update all about?
Its an update to ics. Nothing spectacular but it has some security fixes and vlingo "improvements".

Ljc is the latest tmo version of 4.1.. I'm guessing yours is still on LJA and your on stock rooted ROM. If you take that update you'll lose root most likely.
Ljc has been out for a couple few months. Check what version your phone is on. Bet ya 5$ its still on lja if your receiving an update

It doesn't much matter. The devs aren't even really using this base much cause the update was so minor. The only good thing about it is the modem. So I guess you could take it.. You can always go back to an lja if ya want. 95% of custom twiz ROMs are lja

Dont forget the voodoo ota rootkeeper, if tou update and you hav root you will lose the root. Download it from the playstore and enable it, temp unroot after you make your backup, then update and reboot, then restore root. = win!
