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?

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!
(I rooted my phone based on Melvin's [HOWTO] ROOT T-Mobile SGSII via ODIN -- Updated Recovery on 10/20/2011 and the recovery by Bubbly in the Developer's Forum.)

Upgrade
I'm on Bombraider by TricH and I have the notification for the update. What will happen if I run it?
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?
Is there any way to disable (inside the code or build.prop file) the upgarde notification?

i have the same question
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

Thanks for posting this. I tried this method and it works great.
Have never updated via kies before. I am currently on the ics leak rooted and have removed system apps. In order to update do I need to flash back to stock or can I update from kies without doing anything. Usually I just go for it and update, but wanna be careful this time cause I have no backup phone anymore
Sent from my SGH-I927 using xda premium
I'd like to know this, too. But not if the official ROM has the same bugs as the leak did.
so kies will not let me upgrade having the leaked firmware on it. says the phone cannot update via kies.
U have to be on STOCK everything b4 any program will let u update anything. Its precations so that u can't blame the company... and were not supposed to get leaks.

How did you update from the leak? I tried and so far I'm stuck at the Samsung logo.
Edit: Never mind, figured it out. Thanks anyway.
post your OTA availability and experience updating it...lucky Poland is first!
This is good the international version. Not ours.

Well there are great apps out there, I use Voodoo OTA. And it creates a backup of your root, then you have the option to do a temp unroot so when you are doing the update OTA (only works for OTA updates), the update won't detect that your device is rooted and after upgrade complete, open up Voodoo OTA, click Restore Root and voilà!
This should work all of the time, but I haven't tested it in a real scenario yet.
Let me know what happens!

I think you are referring to another leak. The first official JB update has come only for Poland.

Hi!
I was talking about official updates only with the OTA(over-the-air/wirelessly). So if you're in USA/CAN you'll have to wait for the JB update to come over here first then get pushed out to devices, then before update sue the app.
Michael
This is awesome news. Quick question though, since I'm new to the SGSIII. If I "disabled" some apps under the application manager, can I still install the OTA when it comes around? I'm not rooted or anything, I just got the phone a couple days ago and don't feel like voiding my warranty quite yet

You dont need to disable anything. You are on stock - so wait until the OTA is released. It will inform you, and just let it download and install.

I think he was asking if he has some apps disabled, vs rooting to remove them, if it'll be an issue to install OTA. I have all the Rogers apps disabled, since I'm not using the Rogers network. I don't see any issue with the OTA working, since no system files were changed, you're just telling them to not run. Worst case, just re-enable them when you know the OTA is out, do the update and disable the apps again. That's my plan!
Just tried to update with the "check for updates" : option under settings and it didn't work. My phone is rooted, and so when it rebooted (it props for reboot and install) it went into CW and aborted install. Is there a way around this?

Got a notification this morning that there is a new software update available for me. I have looked high and low and haven't been able to find anything. I would just install it and see what it is but i am rooted and don't want to screw up my phone. Currently running 4.1.1 stock, but I cannot find anything anwyhere about a new update being installed.
Anyone seeing this also? If so, what is it?
Don't know why you are just getting this - its been out since Jan. I think. It's just a little update. Nothing major. Still 4.1.1 Check the thread in development section to install update with root using Odin.

This morning, I woke up to this same notice. I'm running stock unrooted 4.1.1. I put it on hold until I could find out what it was.

I would suggest using mobile Odin. That's how I do it. You just need an app to unzip the rom download, which then gives you a tar file. Do not unzip the tar file. That's the format mobile Odin uses.

If Odin is available for a Mac the Root66 method is very easy - I used Odin and Root66 the first time I rooted any Android device and it went well.

Just let everybody know... If you update to 4.3 by OTA DO NOT try ODIN back to 4.1.x this will BRICK your phone. There is not knowing way yet to downgrate back. Kies are not working too. If you update rooting you phone is litte complicated and some developers working on safe root metod. If you did not upgrate, HOLD ON antil we know more about last 4.3 OTA update.
Just warning to all. There so many people lost they phones.

Ok means wait
Yeah, the only people who should be taking the update are the ones who have never rooted the phone, and never plan on rooting. If you even have a .001% thought about rooting, you should hold off and wait for a workable solution to this. DON'T DECIDE TODAY THAT "WELL I'LL BE OK WITHOUT ROOT" JUST TO TAKE THIS UPDATE, AND THEN IN A COUPLE OF WEEKS, YOU CHANGE YOUR MIND BECAUSE YOU MISS YOUR ROOT.
Also if you try to root this latest OTA stock Rom and your phone gets stuck, then you might be stuck for a while, as there is not a proven way yet to fix it. As has been shown in some of the other theads, there is no way to downgrade it to a working state, and there is no official software (from Kies) to flash over it with. I'm still waiting to hear that someone was able to flash a custom Rom, as this has not yet been confirmed either.

CF Autoroot has been reported to work, however, I'm with you, until I know for sure I can install CM 11, I'm avoiding this update like its got herpes..
I like some of the TW stuff, but to not be able to custom ROM it after would really piss me off.

Oh now I hear about this...
I hate Samsung now for creating all of these extra blocking "features"...
Why would they want to make the phone brick when trying to downgrade from 4.3?
That sounds like something Apple would do but I expected more from Samsung.
I guess now I can't send it in for my scheduled warranty. sigh.

Like the other guy said Nandroids, ROMs, etc. Plus the bugs are really immense on 4.3. The number one reason is because it's my phone and I want to run 4.1.2 not 4.3 but unfortunately it soft bricked when I tried to downgrade. I don't know why samsung added these features that are causing bricks.
