father jut got a new s3 on tmobile...
do i need to install kies for this or is it OTA
thanks
4.0.4 is. I'd assume 4.1.1 is too, when it drops. It's the norm these days.
Just go to Settings... About.... Software update.

Is it just me or does the Telus S2X not have the OTA update section in about?
I recently flashed back to stock, is it because of that, or just in general Telus Rom's dont have OTA updates? I was looking at my uncles Rogers Note and he had the Software section, and I may be wrong but I could swear my S2X had it too before rooting...
Thanks!
I can't remember if it had it for sure, but knowing Telus, it won't be ota. That's more money then they are willing to spend.
It'll probably be a dl, flash through Odin thing

I don't think it TELUS pushing the update to your phone. I think it's Samsung after they have cleared it with TELUS.
You should get a message at some point saying something along the lines of "there is a firmware update for your phone, but if you download it without a data plan, you are going to get a 4-digit phone bill." Regardless, OTA or no OTA, you probably want to download it through Odin, or at least Wi-Fi. This is firmware you are downloading, if it doesn't download correctly, your phone might upgrade to the Doorstop edition instead.
Most likely it will be rolled out via Kies.

What update? for 4.0.3 ?
I don't think there is even a date for that.
Definitely no defined date yet but soon to be (April 30 - ?? [http://www.androidcentral.com/galaxy-series-ics-updates-arriving-today-say-samsung-canada]).
If Kies doesn't prompt for an update, you can follow here:

Expected early June update from Telus.

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?
Hey guys, my girlfriend owns a sprint galaxy s3 and I've checked numerous times for an update but from 4.1.2 it just says up to date. So to make sure, everyone got an ota update? Perhaps of was pulled..? Last time checked December 1st. Her phone is super slow from all the caches and Samsung crap on there so I'm hoping 4.3 could give her a little boost in performance. She doesn't want her phone rooted.

That's an ota zip. She doesn't want to root, meaning no custom recovery. Nothing. Stock
Yes, I can read.
OTA zips are signed by Samsung and are flashed with stock recovery.
I am upgrading my brother from a an AT&T Galaxy Note II to my unlocked T-Mobile Galaxy Note 3 N900T for his birthday. When he visited a year ago I remember attempting the 4.1.1 service menu unlock but finding that he had already updated to 4.1.2. I totally expected to find him on 4.3 or higher this year, but I see that he is still on 4.1.2. There was no notification about an update.. He has already switched his SIM into the Gnote3 so that's probably why I'm getting this message when I check "Software Update" on the phone:
"DM initialization is not ready. Check network or SIM card"
He wanted me to backup all his old stuff and load it on the new one. Once set up with the needed version of Kies (2.6; 3.x only works with late 2013 to current phones), it said that the phone was already updated to the latest version even though it was only 4.1.2.
What happened to 4.3 from December last year?! What happened to Kit Kat?! Why wasn't he prompted to update a long time ago?!
Well, nothing said that I had to have a SIM card in there to get the update and I certainly shouldn't have to if it is downloaded on WiFi anyway, but I did finally get it to show the OTA update to 4.3 and then again to 4.4.2 after putting in an active AT&T SIM. Obviously it had a SIM card in it for the last year that my brother has been using it so I still don't know why he was never prompted for the update.
I still have question though. Why couldn't it go straight to 4.4.2? Why is neither AT&T 4.3 nor AT&T 4.4.2 firmwares available online or in Kies? Why does Kies insist that 4.1.2 is the "latest" instead of simply saying that it does not have any newer updates at this time (it certainly wasn't the "latest")? Why does SamMobile say that they have all official Samsung firmwares including carrier and generic when they absolutely do not?!
