A few months ago when I got the update notification I chose not to update at the time and got rid of the update file. I have decided to update my android version (still stuck on 2.3.6) but how do I go about doing so? Also, can i leave my phone rooted and running the current rom+mod when I update my android version? If not - what do I do so that i can update without ruining my phone? Also would I be able to flash roms made for different android versions than the one I have?
Thanks for the help guys.

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.
Sent from Pluto.
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 followed the unroot galaxy s3 thread because i accidentally pressed update when OTA update popped up on my rooted phone.
downloaded the latest android zip and updated with ODIN.
but it doesnt show 4.2 it still shows 4.1.1 android.
im a bit confused.
theres just too much **** available and i lost track of all these build numbers and updates and different programs.
i dont spend much time here anymore after i got rid of the HD2 and now im completely lost.
got other stuff to do cant afford spending 3 hours a day to stay on top of latest repackaged rom release

4.1.1 UVDLJC is the latest official firmware.
oh ok then i thought it was 4.2 for some reason
one more question that i could not understand clearly
once i root the phone again. what specific services do i need to disable to prevent the automatic OTA updates?
i disabled one service related to update but didnt see any others.
and once rooted. do i have to unroot it in order to use odin and manually install OTA update that i downloaded?
im not planning to use custom roms( spent toomuch time making them wrk on HD2 and done with that for good)
jsut stock tmobile roms work fine for me.
thanks for quick reply i was about to try flashing again since i thought that it was supposed to be 4.2 version

You don't have to do anything with ota. When next one comes out you can unroot and install the ota as long as you hav stock recovery. If you have custom recivery you can always update with Samsung kies but you would need to reroot the new ROM. Or just flash a ROM through Odin.

Hello,
I have a question about installing OTA updates manually on my S4. I've been searching the net for hours now, but haven't found an answer that makes sense to me so I decided to ask here. First some background...
I got the S4 exactly a month ago today. I was going to wait for the Nexus 5, but when I found out that I could load the 4.3 Google Edition rom on the phone and have the stock GE experience I decided to pull the trigger on it. The day I got the phone I installed 4.3 JWR66N and have loved it. I was hoping that I'd be able to get OTA updates automatically using the stock ROM, but that doesn't appear to be the case. I found out today that I'm a couple versions behind already (JWR66V & JWR66Y).
My question is, is it possible to apply the OTA updates manually to my phone? I found a link to the JWR66Y update for the S4 and tried to install it from CWM recovery, but it failed.
I've installed a few roms on S2 and S4 now, but not sure how to handle the smaller OTA updates. In this case it was 17.4MB. Is it possible to keep my phone up-to-date with the latest OTA versions? If so, how? Thanks!

I ended up flashing a ROM (4.3 JWR66Y.S003.130805) posted by janjan here on xda. It's been on my phone since Saturday and has been great so far. Thanks janjan!
It would still be nice to be able to just install the updates (JWR66V to JWR66Y for example) instead of flashing the entire OS to get it, but I'll take what I can get. I basically have a GE S4 with the latest stable android version and love it.

I've been using Virgin ROM for a while, it has the latest OTA GPE edition has. You can give it a try, it's a rock solid ROM and no issues for me so far.
