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

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.

Updating now..
congratulations!
I'm gonna assume most of the devs are going to use the update as a base to their rom, or is it not worth it?

i was gonna do this update but i love cm7 too much!!! so ill just wait until Jugernaut is updated with this wifi calling update then ill switch to that.....
One Click is a no-go!!!
However, all my frozen apps still have not appeared in my app drawer so I'm happy with that.
FYI, although I have seen people post that they re-rooted via SuperOneClick after updating to 2.3.6, I find this highly suspect.. it did not work for me as well as many others and I know what I am doing
Ended up re-rooting via Odin which was successful, but I seriously doubt SuperOneClick will work for anyone...
Also, I suggest a factory reset before or after the update.. there were a few glitches that did not go away until a Factory Reset..
Other than that, have at it! ROM runs superb.

What glitches are you referring to? I haven't seen any yet. I'm happy as can be not seeing that T-Mobile bloat even if it is running...
So right now I'm stock, not rooted. I was going to wait unit the OTA update and then root with Superoneclick. Are you guys saying that I won't be able to do this after the update? I'm a noob when it comes to rooting, and paranoid about screwing up, so I was hoping to avoid Odin.

You won't be able to avoid Odin (which is what i wanted to do as well) unless a new exploit is discovered and One Click is updated for it.

For me, wireless tethering works perfectly without any hitches!
And yes, I updated via Kies although knowing that it will remove root... I can't really recommend it so much. I'm gonna have to Odin now anyway.
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?

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

The update to ICS is a pushed completely RANDOM. There's no current way to PUSH it straight to your device. The update is to be completed and pushed to EVERY device that currently doesn't have the "update" to ICS by July 20th. The only way to push ICS to your Epic 4G Touch is to Root and put an ICS ROM on it. Other than that, if you currently don't have ICS and trying to update to it, unfortunately wait patiently. It'll come and come randomly to all Epic 4G touch's that don't have custom ROM's BY July 20th.
Hope that clears the air about this ICS Update. Any other questions just ask..
Why do people want the OTA update so bad? Just use the 1 click its already rooted http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1721229
Do what some guy said!
FYI my wife's phone is complete stock and she has yet to receive the update notification. Don't bother with update firmware in the menu, it won't help.
my wifes eg4t has asked her to update to the above twice now and neither has worked...it just sits at the Android with the yellow triangle with the ! insode of it for hours until i pull the battery. her phone is running stock, rooted with a custom recovery...could this be why the flash wont take!?!?

Do you mean FH13? The reason it isn't taking the update is because it has a custom recovery. The device must have stock recovery, and in my experience, no removed stock apps if running stock w/root.

You can just save the hassle of all this stock recovery if you want... by using this one click (non rooted) update to FH13
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1835033
You should be able to find the complete one click odin method that does not do a data wipe. So of you upgraded to fh13 and want to go back to ff18. Then find the one click no data wipe and that may do it. If you want tl go back to el29 do the same thing. However going back from ics to without a data wipe could prove faulty. But you could odin back to ff18 then do a titanium back up to back up all apps and data. Then do a complete odin based wipe back to el29 then try and restore via titanium. That may give you the all around solution you guys are looking for. But it's all theoretical have not tried this exact method myself but should work.

Is FH13 being pushed by Samsung or something? I was wondering why the notification looked a bit different from previous ota's then I noticed the update is coming from the update Samsung software section and not the update firmware like in the past. Just curious since that option never gave us an update before lol

In order to update OTA you must have a stock rom with all the original apps, plus the stock recovery.
Also, there should be an update to JB in the next few weeks.

No doubt, I wish I hadnt updated to li3, The Swype keyboard is not nearly as good as the Swype Beta keyboard and the " Smilies" key doesnt work half the time! Wait for the next update!
Any idea on when the next update might come? I've just been hearing this month. It used to be all over my flipboard, now I hardly see anything about a s3 update. Didn't now if Samsung is pushing it further now like when it was rumored that we would get JB back in August.
