When you say stock and rooted, what baseband? If your trying for uvlh2 just flash wilds stock rom and the matching radio to go with it..

I'm not at my computer right now, but..
You need to download Odin to your computer, download the stock firmware of which model phone you have (make sure you download the right one)
And flash it via Odin.

The 1.26gb file sounds big (even with stock bloatware)... if that file containes modem/radio content then make sure you have a backup first

What version of android are you currently on? If jb then there is no update. If below 4.1 then use kies

Yeah well it doesn't. If you are on T-Mobile or any carrier that hasn't offered the update you need kies or odin plain and simple.

OTA updates are only available for a very limited time after they are released. Spastic is right, you need to use Kies or Odin.
Thank you all

Can't we just get download and install the new update through kies instead of waiting for tmobile?

Sprint just got it and theres some debate over whether it locks the bootloader. Hope thats not true. Some say it is, and others say it didnt lock it.
With knockz being part of the update I am betting it is locked boot loader and in root able kernel
