I just got an ota update pushed today but I haven't tried to update yet because I'm rooted. I am wondering if this is new or if this could be the same update as last time being sent out again. I didn't update the last time because it seemed to be a small update to change the coding of the pinch to zoom feature. Any word of a new update? Thanks in advance

Yep- that's what I'm rockin'- showed up Monday evening for me, but still hasn't popped up on my wife's...
Just fyi, even though its a small update, it shouldn't cause any issues where data is concerned, and you can update a number of ways that will let you stay rooted. See my firmware thread in development stickies to get the fw or ota.
More importantly, the upcoming jb update will patch this update, so if you haven't updated you may miss the message.

Sorry about posting in the wrong spot. I have build UVLH2. I got a notification maybe a week or two ago but didn't update because everyone said it didn't really do anything. Are there significant changes this time around?
You'll need this update to get the jb.
No reason not to update....

Well I was a little reluctant to apply the new updates for fear that they would mess something up or take away some feature that I enjoy. I applied one update because it added the brightness bar but it took away the search feature. I found a way to put the search back but didn't want to lose some other functionality unless it was worth it. So do you know if I have to go back and apply the previous update before I can apply the one that just came through?
Depends on what you've done to the phone since then. If you've modded, removed, added or replaced anything then you'll probably have to odin flash the stock build to get the update. But why do that when you can just odin the updated build!

Holy .. I hope I will receive the update in the Netherlands. I bought my device in the UK. The device isn't on the market in the Netherlands yet. Guess they will be shipped with the fix. Swell, have to dust off Odin again I guess. Is there a package to flash?
Edit: never mind..found the update package here already.
Got mine earlier today. Just did a manual check for update at around 18 and there it was.
Kinda freaked out when it wouldn't connect to the mobile network after the update, no connection at all heh. Only thing that worked was Wi-Fi. Thankfully fixed by another reboot

This update is available through Windows and Mac computers using the Samsung Kies software application only. This update will not be made available over-the-air.
Samsung Kies "
Yeah I don't see this ever being an OTA... not practical.
I thought I was told a while ago that Kies updates won't work on the E4GT. Kies gives me "Your device does not support software upgrading via Kies" and I've always been 100% unrooted stock.
I don't even see why the other carriers are making it optional. It isn't like ICS includes huge TouchWiz changes.

No, that was my point. We can't see major changes to TouchWiz so there's no reason to make it optional besides further fragmenting the people who don't know how to do it.
do you guys really think pushing a 300mb update over sprint's 3g is a smart idea? you dont think sprint already knows about their ****ty network?
Over at the sprint epic forums. And the gurus there said that ics won't available until the gs3 comes out officially. I wanna call the time that nothing is happening "the calm before thwarting storm". Once the source is released this forum will be very busy. Roms, etc. Be patient. We have waited somewhere around 5-7 months for ics. Were in the home stretch

To Canadian owners of the I747 GS3, welcome to your new home! XDA has officially added your devices to this forum! As such, let's all work to make the moderators' and developers' jobs easier by doing the following:
Threads: Would all of you who have started threads in the previous forum that relate to Rogers, Bell, or Telus, please indicate in bold in the thread title that it should be moved here and specify which section you want it moved to.
Update - 07/30/2012: There are still a number of Rogers/Bell/Telus specific threads in the old section without any direction to move them. If you are the OP to any of these threads, please edit the titles to reflect which carrier and section they apply to so that they will be moved to the appropriate new section. Time is running out so please do this asap, as per this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1803287
Development: Being added to this forum does not mean that anything has magically changed from the previous forum relating to compatibility of your device. If, for whatever reason, an AT&T mod was not safe to flash before, it is still not safe to flash! Continue to read the OP, search, and post in the thread, if you are unsure whether something is safe to install on your device. You alone are responsible for the health of your device, so please exercise that responsibility fully.
If there is anything else that you feel should be added to this thread, or you have any questions, please feel free to either send me a PM, or post in the thread below.
This change was definitely the right decision, as most of us are already spending the majority of our time on this thread, given the almost identical nature of our phones. Looking forward to working with our US GS3 colleagues in building the great community this has the potential to be!
Excellent, thank you!
OP updated, please update titles of threads from the old section you want moved asap.

That is correct. I updated, no problems, through kies. I then re-rooted using the Samsung Rom toolbox to flash cwm through Odin, and superuser through cwm. Finally, set the trip counter back to zero with the triangle away app (you can get it through Google Play). The whole process was flawless.
Update upgrades us to the latest modem, LH1, way faster lte speeds. Also some other minor ui changes to the stock messaging app and browser.

What! So upgrading will lose root access?
What per se is Samsung Rom toolbox if you don't mind me asking, is that JRummy's Rom Toolbox you're referring to?
Sounds like a bit of a process, I was so proud of myself to finally tackle installing cwm via adb. Now that was all for nothing?! Dang...care to post a few more details and links for those who are still a little shy of turning their phone into a brick? Pretty please.

Edit: ^^you beat me by exactly 0.001 seconds
Does anybody have any information to add that can possibly explain? I went to my usual 2 sites for ota releases and saw this. Had to double and triple check it! And I haven't found ANY explanation anywhere!
Basically when I checked live.samsung-updates.com I noticed the two "Notes" you can see in the screenshot. As it turns out they haven't had an ota for any device for over 2 days! I checked sammobile.com and it looks like our latest ota was their last for any device...3 days ago!
They also state that most otas for the i9300 and legacy otas have been deleted from Samsungs system!
Can anyone enlighten me as to whats going on here? Is this temporary or was UVALI8 the last ota we will get?
It just seems odd that there isnt hardly any info about this and that the update sites have seemed rather quiet about it. (Or is this something that happens enough to be normal and I just never noticed before?)
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Maybe clearing them out getting ready for official.
I think there getting it ready for the i9300 Jb release
Maybe they are waiting for a fix to the NFC vulnerability before publishing anything?
Then why would they take their entire ota system offline? The i9300 wasn't the only device they had otas for. Im talking about every Samsung device worldwide is no longer getting the leaked otas.
Honestly I just threw the info about the deleted ones because it was right there.
What im curious about is why they took down the whole ota system apparently and if its temporary.
Seems like not one device has had an ota leak in 3 days. Kind of unusual I thought.
I guess not though. Oh well. Thanks anyway guys.

It has said that for a couple weeks now. They are referring to their own site that posts the otas. It went down for a few days and now needs fixing. ( notice there is no info about versions). They posted that originally saying they were on vacation and would have everything back to normal by that date.
The 2 notes Im referring to were put up yesterday and are referring to Samsungs system, not their site. (They cant get otas anymore because Samsungs OTA system is "on hold")
Also notice that they haven't had an ota for going on 3 days now while sammobile hasnt had one since our UVALI8 going on 4-5 days ago. Im pretty certain they usually have several everyday. They post otas for all Samsung devices all over the world. Or at least they used to?
On hold sounds temporary but youd think there might be a little more info about it somewhere.

No kidding! Like you said, we would think that if there was a problem or they were doing significant maintenance they would have posted SOMETHING to let people know. Maybe in some weird way could it be related to one of the lawsuits?

Thats pretty much why. I dont mind waiting however long it takes for new updates, but yeah when they just stop like that for everything it makes me wonder why.
I do understand that the otas are not official, just leaked, and may not warrant explanation from Samsung themselves, but what I posted in the op was ALL I could find! No one even discussing it just seems odd to me.
I would have thought its becsuse Sammy doesn't want these leaks getting out, but with there being established web sites devoted to getting them out for a while now, its not like they haven't known about it. Im sure they've been taking full advantage of it for testing and fixes like you find in our dev section.
But yeah, after finding no discussions or good info at all, I decided to post what I knew here. You never know who knows or found something I couldn't. Or maybe one of the guys that had a bead on the ota releases knows something theyd be willing to share?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app
Samsung hub or w.e is going to be down too. It's likely Samsung is just doing maintenance. Is it sammy or tmo that hosts the official jb update? I could see the need to beef things up before millions of phones update.

It very well could be maintenance. But then i have to ask why they deleted the i9300 otas? Maintenance...could be. Its just the lack of any information that made me wonder. Usually stuff like that gets mentioned on sites like sammobile, but I didn't even see it in their forums. I didnt even realize it had happened till yesterday.
it just struck me as odd so I figured I'd ask.
Like I said, just gotta wait and see what happens I guess.

Samsung hub or w.e is going to be down too. It's likely Samsung is just doing maintenance. Is it sammy or tmo that hosts the official jb update? I could see the need to beef things up before millions of phones update.

I believe the official fw updates go out as ota patches from tmobile. But you can download the full fw from Samsung or one of the ota sites. They roll out fota updates in phases so doubt they are lacking the infrastructure for it anyway.
Where did you see that Samsung hub will be down too? Is a timeframe given?

Samsung sent out an email yesterday or the day before. I deleted it to test another thread saying mail didnt sync. Whoops.

Yay trash folder!
Dear Samsung customers,
There will be scheduled Smart Hub maintenance will occuring on Tuesday, September 25th from 9:00 PM - 5:00 AM (EST). During this time you may experience difficulties connecting to Smart Hub servers and using various functions of the Smart Hub service (App download, App launch, Smart Hub ID creation, etc). Do not setup repair service for Smart Hub issues during this time. The Smart Hub service should be restored at or shortly after 5:00 AM (EST).
Thx man. At least you got an email about that though.
I suppose it could be related if they are doing massive network upgrades or something. Otherwise one probably has no bearing on the other.
Lol. Isnt that the same day they're offering the avengers for free?
Everyone watch out for that time zone! 9 EST is 6 PST im pretty sure.

Still no change.
Haven't searched for new info in a few days though so maybe there's a better explanation out there somewhere?

I'm really itching for a new leak! This getting mildly frustrating.

So, I'm a super paranoid person by nature.
After watching the unpacked event, I couldn't help but think of Hitler when I was viewing DJ's speech. Anyways, today, I made some questionable comments throughout the the day and I got notice of a 40 MB update. Anyone else get this as well, or shall I go get some more aluminum foil on my head?
I got an update yesterday too...guess i made the list
What firmware are you on now?

It told me to update "backup and restore" I assumed it was an app because it had a Galaxy apps store logo after it updated. I clicked the "app" and nothing. Disappeared. Nothing opened. Tried connecting to smart switch on the computer. Nothing. Same thing from settings
The update said it was over 400 mb.

Update said it was 400MB which wasn't the case when I downloaded it.
BTW, 400KB is not 40MB. 400KB is about 0.39MB.
Does anyone have any cue what it was...and more importantly is it legit?...
ive never seen a backup and security update
