I got my SG3 like two weeks ago, I rooted it, and today I get an OTA update being pushed.
Is this Jellybean or some other type of update?
my current android version is: 4.0.4
Baseband version; L710VPLG2
Anybody else getting this OTA?
It just happened today.

Now just a ics update most every one has. It's LG8 now instead of LG2.

If you're still running stock ROM it's likely LG8. Jellybean still hasn't been officially announced for our device yet.
Shiza! Got me excited for nothing...:cyclops:

Question: I am rooted and have CWM recovery. If I were to install this OTA what would happen? Lose root? Loose custom recovery?
how do I deal with the OTA
I am new this. Been rooted for a couple of months. Update popped up just like the other user. I know I cannot install with CWM and I am not currently interested with any roms, waiting for jelly bean. I have the same model and set up he does. I guess I need the L8.
Can i remove the pop up and just wait for a few more months?
Could that create performance issues?
I don't feel like updating and reinstalling everything if I don't have to. Thanks in advance.

OTA offered
My wife just got this update notification. No idea what version it is, but curious if it will break root. If so, anyone know if this version is also rootable?

i have a GSM Galaxy Nexus and i'm rooted running the Thunderstick soft and chewy 4.1.1 rom. much to my surprise today my phone received an over the air update asking me to install 4.1.2 ; first of all, i didn't know a non stock custom rom could receive an ota update and i've been rooted on custom roms now since the beginning of ics and my phone has NEVER once ever before received an ota. especially now given that i'm already on a 4.1.1 and i got an ota update asking me to go to 4.1.2; so pretty surprised to put it mildly.
secondly i have GNofficial update app which tells me that my phone is either updated by google or not updated by google which i've found to be depending on what rom i'm using and currently my thunderstick rom makes it say i'm not updated by google. even if i wasn't rooted i never thought i would be updated by google anyway since i'm in canada not the united states and on some little ****ty carrier called Mobilicity. the last thing i ever expected was to receive an ota update. who sent it? Mobilicity? Google? i don't even have a clue where exactly this ota update is coming from. am i to believe that my galaxy nexus which came with android 4.0.1 originally out of the box and has never once before ever received an ota update would suddenly send me 4.1.2? so to re-cap that means if i had never rooted i would still have been at 4.0.1 and suddenly be getting 4.1.2 and in Canada and on Mobilicity of all things. so i'm super confused but that's not even my real question.
what i'd like to know is what will this update do to me? will it bring me from this beautiful exquisite custom thunderstick soft and chewy 4.1.1 to the STOCK 4.1.2??? and unroot me? it wont stop pestering me about it either, it just keeps prompting me do go for it! i checked on rom manager and there isn't a thunderstick 4.1.2 yet. mostly i'm very confused at even receiving it and that it keeps prompting me as if i have to do it or it wont go away. i could just imagine me doing it and then it sucking cause it's stock and not like thunderstick's soft and chewy which i've fallen in love with and then me going to the trouble of re-rooting and re-flashing thunderstick and then probably receiving the damn OTA all over again! has anyone else had this happen? why am i receiving a stock ota update when i'm already not even running stock?
is there a way i can make it stop asking me to install the ota update? can i make it stop appearing in the notification?
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.

Today January 17, 2013 my Phone said I had an OTA update, it will not tell me what the update is.
Is this the 4.0 update?
Will this remove my root?
Is it true this update will remove flash player?
how long have you had your phone? 2.3.x is old, the t989 got has been on 4.0.x for some time now (4.04 is the current factory rom), you probably have a few updates to do!
SGH-T989 FW2.3.6 OTA update
I believe We got our phones June 2012. They came with Uvlke1 I think then updated to UVLDE around November 2012...
I wouldnt mind 4.x.x, You can use Xbox360 SmartGlass.
Does Adobe Flash Player matter anymore?
Do I need to unroot to update ota or just click start?
Will updating remove my root SU?
How hard is it to ReRoot when i've finished updating?

No, as long as u didn't debloat
Not the supersu app, but u will lose root, have to reflash in cwm
Its not
I clicked it.... smh, it was some 5 second update. have no clue what it did...
So now I did my wifes phones with kies (unrooted) all went well, update it to 4.0.4 ....
What is debloat?
Debloat if I'm not wrong. Its when they take all the T-Mobile things out that you don't actually need in the phone.

My wife is in the sane boat as you. She's pure stock. Has had it since the free phone sale last year in T-Mobile. She is still on your firmware. GB 2.3.6 with the T989UVLDG baseband. She's had 3 OTAs since shes had it but remains on GB. Don't understand why. Her last OTA was the 17th as well. No idea what it was for since it took the longest of the 3 and left her on GB.

I'm new to android. I can't figure out why my phone will not OTA update. I'm on 4.1.2 I thought that I had the Sep. 4.1.2 update, but I don't and found that out when I was trying to update to the 4.3 that I've been waiting for. I'm still on version (I317UCAMC3) not (H3) which it says you need for the 4.3 update.
Every time I try to OTA update I get Software Update Interrupted, I think I've also gotten "your software is up to date"? I've also tried the Kies firmware and it says that my version is not supported to update via kies? I got the phone off eBay supposedly new and unlocked, but it's Att branded. Would being unlocked stop an update?

DO NOT OTA
you want to be on 4.3, just use the one click method, this way you dont have the locked bootloader

OTA = BAD. Wait and get one that is knox free as well.
It's not the unlocked part blocking the update. If the updated senses that the current version is not 100% stock, then it won't update. If the recovery is not 100% stock (I'm not 100% about this though), it won't update.
But you will end up in the long run being better off flashing either 4.4 (which ever cooked ROM you choose,) or waiting for the fabulous dev's here in XDA land to cook up the 4.3 version knox free, and rooted out of the box.
As far as I know the phone is stock so I still don't understand why the update won't go through. I downloaded a root checker to see if my phone was rooted and it says that it is not. since I can't figure out why the phone won't update I guess I should just root and install a rom.
Usually a custom recovery stops an official update.

I was told unless you have ***mh3, it will not update to 4.3 via OTA.
I have same issue, I have UCAMA3 and it won't do.
It seems it doesn't even have to be stock for someone I work with had **MH3 rooted and all and it updated to 4.3 OTA.
Maybe someone will be able to put out rooted stock one in the future.
my phone wont update either
I am having a similiar issue with my phone, it is rooted and will not update. I have Android version 4.1.2 Baseband version I317UCAMH3 Build JZO54k.. and I have twrp recovery. Does anyone know what I can do to receive the update? Do I have to unroot in order to receive the update? and if so can someone direct me on how to do that? Or is it better to just flash a custom rom and if so would someone be able to direct me to where I can find the instructions to do that. Thank you so much! I have flashed roms in the past but its been a while...

Hello Guys
another question,i have E980 AT&T but if i returned to stock JB can i update to KK from the phone Software Update OTA? kindly dont answer if you are not sure
Still waiting...
I can't believe that there isn't anyone can answer this inquiry....
People aren't answering because you can find the answer by doing the search, consider these type of questions are discussed a year ago. Yes, you're safe to install through the OTA update as long you're not rooted while you're updating. If you're rooted while doing the OTA update, you will most likely end up with the bootloop.

first of all thanks for your reply, second thing, i know that im safe to do an upgrade through OTA and i know that for sure i dont have to be rooted, and my question is IF i went back to 4.1.2 (JB) can i upgrade officially OTA to KK 4.4.2 if i entered the (software update menu)?
I didn't say to be rooted, I meant it's unsafe to do an ota update if you were rooted. If you flashed the stock jb ROM, and wanted to update to stock kk using the ota, you're safe to do so as long you don't root before your update. Is that what you're asking?
Thanks again for responding, but in my question at the begining i didn't mention the root issue, and i know that u cant update ota if u r rooted, and what im.asking for is when i return to JB 4.1.2 and i want to have the official KK can i updated ota?
My E980 performed this update OTA some time ago. I purchased my E980 when it was ~1 year old from AT&T so it was $50. I suggest you check the AT&T support site to see fi you can update it via them if you step down to 4.1.2. The issue is that the update may no longer be pushed to your phone and you may be required to perform the update manually.
