Ota update

Hi I am running a froyo mod and have been for a while now.
How can I get the official ota update for froyo?
Or am I just as well off sticking with the mod I am running .... I'm not sure what benefits the official release has over the current mod I am using
Thanks for any help here

Well if you install the official, you will lose root and who knows when you will be able to gain that back.
Personally I see no point in getting the official as these mods are cleaner, faster, tweaked and well supported for.

If you really do want to get the official OTA update you'll have to flash back to an HTC ROM and then update.

There are already quite a lot of ROMs available in the development section which are based on this weekend's update which won't mess with your root.
I installed one which is close to the stock ROM but with root access and busybox. It's perfect for me and I still have root.

UPDATE: just started the phone in safe mode (holding menu while powering it up) and Listo, unistall helixlauncher2 before the update ......

T-Mobile update notification not going away, but i'm rooted + custom ROM

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?

Same Problem Here...
Hi-
I rooted my phone a month ago. I have had no problems except that when I try to download T-Mobile's software update, I get stuck in Clockwork recovery. I don't know what to do next.
Please help!
Thx!

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

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

[Q] Software Update 4.1.2 HELP!

This morning, I received a notification from T-Mobile that there was a software update to 4.1.2 My phone was rooted and had 4.1.1 installed.
I tried OTA unsuccessfully as it would freeze on me. I connected my cell via usb to my computer for the update using Kies. My computer recognized my cell and was installing the update. The phone rebooted and everything appeared to be going well. When i checked my software version it was still at 4.1.1, now I noticed that my phone was un-rooted. Also, when I try to connect to Kies it does not connect to my phone. I tried several times to update via OTA, it will not connect. Please help, I want to update my phone without loss of my data.
Ronnie

Re: [Q] Software Update 4.2.1 HELP!
The update was 4.1.1 with new baseband not 4.2.1. Updating via KIES will definitely unroot the phone.

My cell is unrooted now. Is there anyway to at least update my software to 4.1.2 ???
Thanks for your help and time.

Re: [Q] Software Update 4.2.1 HELP!
I don't think there's an update to 4.1.2 either. Maybe it was a dream.
T-Mobile SGS III

It's all smoke and mirrors.
Not sure yet if it is 4.1.1 with a small patch (as OTA is about 4.3mb) or 4.1.2 (as Sammobile has it listed as 4.1.2 and 700+mb) Jury is still out but here is a thread going on about it ---> New OTA ROM - T999UVDLJC.
We do know that it is not 4.2.1. @OP can you please edit your title accordingly? Post>Edit>Go Advanced Please and thanks.
Edit: Sammobile changed it to 4.1.1. Must have been a typo. It happens. Probably a security patch or something.

Nah, not yet . This thread has evolved into a "Help me get Root back" thread.
I'll let it ride for awhile even though all the answers are readily available. He's brand, spanking new (just registered this morning). But since he is was Rooted, he should know how all this works.

To the OP... the update from what I hear has nothing special.. And if you're rooted, I'm sure you'll be able to flash a custom ROM based off of this update in a matter of weeks.

[Q] how do I get my update back? Reset Update.

I got an update push today. I told it to go ahead, but it rebooted to twrp and stopped. Now Ive put back the stock recovery and everytime i hit update in settings nothing happens.

Well now you cant run an update with a custom recovery on board and since you started it there is prolly a file or the OTA server thinks you have it installed and is not offering it again.
Best thing to do on phones where you have custom recovery? Look here on the boards for the Stock ROIM of the version you want. If you wanted it un-rooted [no super user] then look in the returning to stock thread, if you want supersu (have your phone rooted) then look for a ROM of your choice based on the Android Version of your choice they range from hardly any changes [the ones that say only busybox and rooted are usually just stock ROM with just those 2 additions].
You want to use JB which Samsung has not even upgraded the T989 to yet [completely stable and I have been using it as my Daily Driver for month ].
First download ROM Manager from Market and have it flash CWM Recovery
Go to development section here and find the ParanoidAndroid thread and download the Nov 18 dated file and Gapps and flash those
Now you will have Android 4.1.2 - Jellybean! Enjoy

I have stock rooted 4.0.4 and it asked me to update. Do you think T-Mobile is releasing an update? Anyone else getting it?
I'd like to keep my wifi calling so i havent moved to a 4.1.2 rom.

I've been receiving an update as well. Problem is every time I go to update since my phone is rooted but running the stock rom, after i reboots to start the update it sends me to Clockwork Recovery...which actually brings me to ask my question here instead of starting a new thread. I really don't want to un-root since I make use of the cracked Google Play for a couple of my apps Do I really have to un-root just to receive T-Mobiles update?

Has anyone heard of kingoapps rooting

Recently I came across a Samsung galaxy Grand forum on Facebook where some people claimed to root the phone using kingoapps one click method. This is said to be simple procedure with keeping stock recovery intact & one can get ota updates also. My question is is this true or its just trick to fool people?

Yea it's a valid tool available supporting a lot of devices, I'm not sure about ours
But it's been reviewed here at xda, cnet and droidviews but other phone users. As far as I know it uses adb to push SuperSU into the phone's system giving you root permissions.
It's basically made for noobs who are new to android and want their phone rooted without using Odin

Personally, I rather root my phone myself than let a third party windows software push files into my phone.

Thanks for quick reply. I have rooted my phone with CWM recovery. I was interested in this because I can't get OTA updates after installing CWM

If you are on rooted stock Samsung ROM and not on any custom ROM like Slim, CM, GENNXT etc (ROMs which are modified) then you can still get OTA updates for your phone.
Check this : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pH5TX_Ig4sY
And I think there's also a thread for i9082 regarding this

Yes it works for me and advantage is OTA is still working but for customization we need cwm, as I tried flash gordon but not working for me

You will not full advantage of rooting.. For customizations we need CWM recovery to install any modded apps

Better use Cydia Impactor
For people like me who root just to use ViperFX and TiBa or Link2sd
Cydia Impactor is recommend
One main point to be noted is that it will not work on 4.2.2 ROMs as it depends on the MasterMey exploit which has been fixed by Sammy in every 4.2.2 ROM
