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.

You can update your rooted stock LG8 to LI3 by following the procedure posted here.

I'm gonna guess and say the Jellybean update is gonna be 4.1.1 and not 4.1.2.

Man dont bother updating to li3. It sucks. Countless peoples auto corrects no longer work and theres barely any changes. They installed swype into the phones in the li3 but you cannot use it at all.. its glitchy

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.

I did that this morning. Got the update instantly. I wanna mess with sprint and see if i can get a new phone. So if went back to stock el29 try a factory reset and try the update again.

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.

[AT&T] New system update awaits 8/3/2012

Just got a notification on my S3 about a system update being available. Doesn't give much detail other than that. Is this the 4.0.4 update that some uses have received? Anyone else get this message today?
I got it this morning as well. Anyone know what it's for?

What software version are you running now? LG1 is the remove search update. If your running lg1 and have an update, then it's new.

I747ucalem is my version.
Doesn't matter though because I have CWM installed so the update fails.

You need to be on stock to update stock firmware, unless you install root keeper first

Question before I update...

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.

[Q] Will updating to JB - when it's out - unroot/brick my phone?

Hi Everyone!
So my question today is pretty simple, when JB is out for my SGH-I747m, and I update it OTA, will it remove the root I have installed (superuser), and or brick my phone because I have CWM recovery and BusyBox installed?
Thanks!
Michael
Most likely it wont install if you are not completely stock

It will not update unless you remove root(OTA Rootkeeper) and if you froze or removed the bloatware it may not work as well. It sounds like with the update that just came through this week it has to be pretty close to stock, with stock recovery to work OTA. Im sure there will be ways to flash it once these guys get ahold of the official files with CWM or Odin.

I got the app and it seems very interesting! Can't wait for an update to test it out!
Hopefully JB will come quick through the Carrier in October to our devices!!!

Can you post a screen shot of your "about phone"?
Be warned ....
Updates being pushed from ATT this time around are likely the pre-cursors to 4.3 which "will" contain knox and a locked bootloader...
If you take the 4.3 update once available ...you will lose the ability to root and more until the devs get it worked out...
That batch is likely the application updates to the rom and modem ???
But the next one is gonna lock you out...g

If it is 165 mb then it is the update from September. It has never been installed because you have a non-stock recovery. The only updates in the september updates were to apps and back end. There is no user difference due to the updated. It is not worth changing your recovery in my opinion.

UCAMH3 update is safe ...(our current update )
Anything beyond that will include knox security ...and a locked bootloader ...guaranteed.....
And you will be stuck until the devs can figure out an unlock and the removal of knox...g

Isn't the beta leak by DG the finished product by AT&T (yet to be officially released)? I don't see any bugs or changes to be made to this.
Not sure ...
I'm leaning toward no...
But I guess we won't really know until it drops ...
If ever ....g
