system update on rooted s2 will I lose root? - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

I have a rooted s2 which I just rooted the other day, but now I'm getting an alert For an update. I don't wanna lose root.
is there anyway to block it?
or update it and not lose root?
thanks in advance

Yes. And if you are on a custom rom it may just bootloop. You may be able to find an ota killer on here.

Quick question since you said you just rooted the other day; what's your current build?

There's also this, don't know if you have seen; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1774282
edit: It has been found not to be build specific. Meaning it was put out when FF18 came but it has been used after and stopped FH13 as well)
And then this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=31192830&postcount=29
But if you want to update and stay stock (you'll have to odin/mobile odin a custom recovery) check out this handy thread by Rwilco: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1903252

One easy thing to do would also be to just get a no-data rooted one-click. that way you keep root and you also get a new build.

[Q]Got OTA and I'm rooted?

How can I be getting the update. If. I'm on juggernaut? Is this possible? It would probably brick my phone?

Is this your after update? You still have the old baseband Joser.

I'm assuming this is the update for 2.3.6 and wifi calling?
I got the same OTA notification, running Juggernaut 3.7
Did you guys install the update? Or just get a notification?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk
I don't mind updating via OTA (I'm on BeastMod now), but what I don't want to do its lose root and have to restore all the data manually.

It was a notification for the update with an option to install or postpone; I'm going to postpone mine as long as I can....not sure what that update will do being that I'm rooted and on Juggernaut.
I'm sure one of the dev teams will take the OTA and roll it into a ROM so we can get the update and keep everything that we're used to.
I'm still on stock and yet to get update. sucks!
Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk
I got the update notification too and I'm also running Juggernaut 3.7.
I'm using the EagleBlood ROM and I received the update notification today. I'm postponing it as long as I can, but is there a way to just reject the update? It's annoying seeing the icon in my notification bar.
Can any of you just pull the link please? It would be a great help to many people. Everyone keeps posting about it and that is not helping anyone.

The update is already rooted and posted. Along with the new basebands.

Yes but not all of us want to use Odin. I am very much aware of its presence in the development section. However, i can assure you that i am not alone in wanting the link/zip.

Link for what? I'm not following you. Are you wanting the actual ota zip? If so, someone who has been notified of the update can use root explorer and go to /data/cache and grab the zip.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk
I guess someone else tried running this update and it just took them to CMW and didn't give them the update. I just froze "device manager" from TB so i don't have those annoying update arrows. I will wait for the new juggernaut when they update it. I'm in no rush

Do i need to revert back

Im running jugg right now can i just accept the update ? Am i still rooted and do i need to revert back to stock to update ics?

Stock ICS Nandroid?

Alright, so i flashed the leaked Jelly Bean build and i like it and all, but the constant force closes and shell access granting is pissing me off. I wanted to restore my backup of my stock rom in CWM, but for some reason I can't find it now...could anyone direct me to where i can get a stock nandroid backup? Thanks!

Why not just Odin stock ics?

I would think you need to Odin a custom kernel/recovery then flash a super user.zip file. Also you would need to get the super user app from the playstote

Ljc is the latest tmo version of 4.1.. I'm guessing yours is still on LJA and your on stock rooted ROM. If you take that update you'll lose root most likely.
Ljc has been out for a couple few months. Check what version your phone is on. Bet ya 5$ its still on lja if your receiving an update

Its just a new modem and some minor changes. If you search the threads you can review the change log between the two. Super super minor pointless upgrade

It doesn't much matter. The devs aren't even really using this base much cause the update was so minor. The only good thing about it is the modem. So I guess you could take it.. You can always go back to an lja if ya want. 95% of custom twiz ROMs are lja

Dont forget the voodoo ota rootkeeper, if tou update and you hav root you will lose the root. Download it from the playstore and enable it, temp unroot after you make your backup, then update and reboot, then restore root. = win!
