Still no way to root successfully on new OTA?

I see people having problems with every method going. Just wanted to make sure I am not missing a thread somewhere as I can only view on phone app right now. I want to update but wont risk losing root.

If you're rooted just flash a rooted rom, there's a few out already.
And: post in the right section.

My bad on posting in the wrong place, im on my phone and figured someone in this section would be the first to know, I appologize. I flashed a rom already with the new ota but I want to update the radio and 4g too and I read that aside from the possibilites of having 4g connection issues via bad mac addresses the new radio will cause problems with my old hboot and once I go to the 2.10 version rooting is not possible. I was just looking for any info saying otherwise but its a bit hard on the phone app to scroll through everything. I'll just wait until someone gets the root working and then unroot via s-on ,ruu back to stock 3.29 and dl the ota via HTC software update. Thanks for the time.

T-Mobile update notification not going away, but i'm rooted + custom ROM

I just rooted and flashed beast mod on my gs2. An hour after using it, T-mobile popped up in my notification tray with a new update. I'm assuming this is 2.3.6 and eventually the dev's will develop or update their roms.
I just want to make sure that I shouldn't update my phone this way, or I will be bricked?

i dont think it will brick you, but it will unroot you.

[Q] got prompted for OTA Update but i'm rooted / custom ROM?
I have a rooted sII and i just received a software update for my phone. do you know if i install the update will that affect anything?

I lost my root installing the update. looking to re root now.. It alos reinstalled all the Tmo bloat ware again.

[Q] got prompted for OTA Update but i'm rooted / custom ROM?

Same Problem Here...
Hi-
I rooted my phone a month ago. I have had no problems except that when I try to download T-Mobile's software update, I get stuck in Clockwork recovery. I don't know what to do next.
Please help!
Thx!

Juggernaut v3.7 and Tmobile software update????
I am using Juggernaut v3.7 ROM, and my phone recently constantly show Message about upgrade the software from Tmobile. What should I do next? Flash stock rom 2.3.6 to get rid of Tmobile upgrade? and then can I flash Juggernaut v3.7 back to my phone?

T-Mobile update service
Can I do the T-Mobile update while rooted on a custom rom?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium

This is going to be a hot item for most of us with rooted phones. Simply no way of knowing what will happen should we let the update go through. And just to be safe, most of us would prefer to cancel the update.
I followed someone else's advice and used Titanium Backup Pro to:
- wipe data for "Device Manager"
- "freeze" the same application
The nag is gone. I reckon this method should work for everyone with rooted phones.
Otherwise, we'd need to wait to respective ROM teams to release their own patches etc.
TB team should see a nice uptick in app purchases in next few days. The app is well worth it, so if you been on a fence, get it now, $6 well spent.

[Q]OTA Update but i'm rooted?
I just got the ota update. It says it's going to automatically update my phone in 24 hrs. Is this going to mess my phone up? I am currently rooted with. Bombradier rom. Do I need to do anything? Thanks
Sent from my SGH-T989

i am rooted with stock rom and receive the update, np at all. In your case, you have a different rom and not stock. odin probably is the best bet.

bought sgs2 last weekend and rooted using superoneclick and at the end of the day, receive ota update and update my sgs2 and i forgot that i am rooted. i left my phone to finish updating and when i came back, its up and have 2.3.6 uVKL1, did not receive any problem. battery great, wifi calling is there. im just surprised it let me update even though my phone is rooted. btw stock rom, stock kernel just rooted.

I think I'll just wait until somebody comes out with an official sticky solution because I didn't flash any ROM to mine, I just rooted it.... I don't know what to do either... Until someone posts a solution there will be several posts pertaining to this subject

SGH-T999 T-mobile Getting Firmware Update Via KIES

As of right now T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S3 known as SGH-T999UVLEM is upgrading to a newer Version which is SGH-T999UVLH2
I don't think the over the air (OTA) mode is working right now because I did many tries and it keep saying device up to date so if you want to try it us KIES. if you version of KIES is not up to date you will have to update it first then you will be able to upgrade the phone.
it will take about 10 to 15 minutes of your time and it will depend on your connection.
everything like root will be gone after the update. :victory:
ok after you update, you will be able to go back and use the same method you use to to root the older version and install a different boot.
mine is working fine I don't find any problem yet.

changlog
Anyone know what this update is for?

So I guess posting in one wrong section wasn't enough right? Stop trolling and keep this where it belongs in the general section.

this is not any good for us that are rooted and running a customer recovery.

Available for download form here, no Kies necessary.

Just reflash the custom recovery in Odin and flash the root file. Unless you mean not good for those that are running custom ROMs then that's a different story.

do the developers here give the okay to update to this, for those of us who are fully stock and not rooted? will we be able to get root easily still(with the same methods), even after this update?

Good question. I second that.

yes the same method you use to root and install the custom recovery will work with no problem. I am update and back to root

I've done this and after updating to SGH-T999UVLH2 Android File Transfer has stopped working.
KIES still continues to work, however.

That's the Windows 98 diagnostic approach "re-install the OS and see if that fixes it"
Are you saying it works fine for you?

I'm just curious... what are the improvements? I haven't seen that question yet

I hear you, no one is reporting anything about the update and I'm wondering if it's even worth doing. I wouldn't mind updating but sometimes you don't get the results and blind updates makes me wonder anyways.

Just going from memory so may leave something out. Its been mentioned but its scattered due to so many threads about the update.
New kernel, new radio (some report grand improvements), camera updated and has new features, reportedly better stability and battery, brightness slider added to notification window.,....ugh, damn now I'm blanking out on this! I know there's more, just escaping me at the moment. Ill post more when I think of it.
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app

FWIW, the Kies update isn't working with Win 8.
it'll install, but will close when you try to run it.

Edit: sorry I got it updated but I'm still trying to get root now and using the tool kit is out dated and I can't seem to find info for it, anyone have a way to root after latest update.
Edit 2, all set. I even foubd a few things I havent seen posted yet. We'll see if it pans out but im good.

Need some help guys!?

My friends has a gs3 he purchased on release day and rooted it. The past week he accepted two ota's which broke his root. So I'm trying to root it for him but here's where the confusion kicks in. On sprints website it actually show these updates are old and not new and there's two more recent ones he never got pushed to him. Right now the phone is on LG2 and won't update any further. What do I need to do to be up to date with root. Should I just look for a way to root this build or try updating it. By the way I haven't seen any root methods for this build which is why I'm asking. Thanks in advance to anyone who responds :beer:

Thank you! One more question. I'm reading but I don't see anything regarding data wiped. So does doing any of these steps wipe out all data?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda app-developers app

The method he used to root it in the first place should work again. Try that.
Then once it's rooted again go to this thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1904099
Download the file "LI3 STOCK WITH AUTO COUNTER RESET" in the first post and flash the file in recovery. That will put the phone to 100%stock, unrooted, on the latest build.
From that point, if he wants to, he can reroot the phone and install the latest TWRP recovery. After that, tell him not to accept any OTA updates. Come back here to the development forum and someone will have the update in flashable form so that root isn't lost.

Yup thats the most easy way of doing it. you say ur not rooted but do you have custom recovery? If so then re rooting before the flash wouldn't be necessary.
It will not wipe data however its recommended that you do. granted it will probably work just fine if it being installed over top of a stock Rom. Then to keep root/recovery just follow the instructions in the post

I'm not sure if he has a custom recovery but I'm assuming if he was able to accept ota's and install them fine he must have stock recovery. I'll have to check and see a lil later as he's at work now.

Any reason why his phone got these updates pushed back to back? And better yet why did it it stop at LG2 and not push LI3 and the one before that? Those two where his first updates since having the phone and they're mad old lol
Wish you guys had Odin OneClicks like we do for the GS2. Them things are so easy and stoopid proof lol

Sprints update system sucks......As for odin, you select the file you want to flash and click start......pretty stupid proof if you ask me. There is a .tar for the most recent update and the jellybean leak available in the development section.

Yes it is stupid proof but it also makes you have to take an extra step to reset the count. On my phone I just deal with the Odin OC which don't mess with your counts and come rooted then mobile Odin for the rest. Never have to worry about a flash count. But anyways thanks for all the help guys! I'm going to try and get this done tonight. Even though we both going for the note 2 in just a matter of days

if you're rooted and have the CWM or TWRP recovery installed, get the updated ATT, stock, rooted ROM from the development forum, flash to your phone and you're done.

Plus you cant update if rooted. Use that same app to unroot and try updating again. Also put ur time n date a day or two ahead before trying to manual update. And I agree you should have asked the question in one of those "other" threads or in the right section "Q&A"

You can update with root as long as you have the stock recovery. The update is 100% going to break root, but that's not hard to fix. Recovery is the important part.

What you didnt pick up on is your post is painful to read. Just like other posts you've made, you appear to ignore any sense of punctuation or structure.
This isn't texting ims to your homeboys. If you honestly want help, attempt some proper spelling and punctuation.
