It's most likely the Full EL29 update that Sprint is pushing out that removes Carrier IQ from our phones. And no it's not safe to download any OTA if you are rooted it would fail anyways.

ok.. thanx.. ill probly wait and make sure it doesnt take away my 4g hack.or.anything... thanx man!

It probably wont work anyways since you are not on stock. Since you are running UnNamed like me you are already good...
I put the attached file in system/app folder and rebooted into recovery and wiped cache and dalvlik and have not seen the popup since. Oh yea I ran fix permissions just for good measure. You can also check out this thread here

Sprint announcement is here.

If I do this update, would it effect my ability to root in the future?

Highly unlikely. However, if you want to be completely safe, root and install a rom with EL29 and also update your modem.

You have almost nothing to gain from updating to this if you're already rooted...this has been leaked weeks ago already and as far as I can tell it's exactly the same thing.

Just flash Calk's E4GT v2.8.1 Rom... Includes Root, Rogue EL29 kernel, El29 Modem... It's a bad ass Rom!
Here's the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1332837

Thanks. I went ahead and just rooted. Haven't been following the different ROMs... is Calk's the best?

I also got a question about this. I am on baseband Ek02. I am rooted and have the blazer rom installed. My kernal says El29 and build number says same Gingerbread El29. So when I do get the OTA should I unroot? or just click update?
Thanks,

EL29 is the most current you should not get the update, if you do try any ota update at this point, it will fail.

I put the file you posted in /system/apps and used TB to freeze system updates, as well as a cache and dalvik wipe with reboot. Am I all set so the update won't install and screw up Calk's rom for me? And get rid of the notifications?

What if your a stock root and want the update? Should I unroot then update and then reroot?

I don't know if this will work so try at your own risk. I read about a recent ota for the epic 4g that the notifications were getting on some people's nerves. Someone brought up the idea and a few people said it worked.
If you are on a custom rom and the ota nag screen pops up, let it update. It will fail and I'm guessing it will try to flash but give you an exclamation mark when trying to update. When you get the mark, pull the battery them put it back in. They are saying in that post that the nag screen will stop appearing after that. I haven't tried it yet because I don't need to. If you do decide to do it, I think it would be a good idea to nandroid before everything and have all the files you need to flash it back to where you want it if something goes wrong. I don't know for sure but I don't think it will brick a phone.

Somebody was asking about cal's 2.8.1. I have the trexcell 3800 battery in the phone now. I did properly break in and condition the battery when I first got it. Here is a screen shot. I went off the charger at 8am and have not been plugged in at all during the day. I used the phone quite a bit too.

Depends on what your taste and personal preferences are. All the ROMs found here are at least as good as the stock ROM.....most are better. For a really awesome appearance and stability with speed and increased battery life I'd recommend Strongsteve's odex blue ROM.

I figured I would ask here instead of making my own thread. Would it be best to download an OTA on a brand new phone and then doing all this rooting and flashing and ROMing? I'm asking because I don't have the phone yet but I'll be doing all this cool stuff as soon as i get it.

A lot of members that went from calk's ROM to the blazer ROM are showing battery improvements, one member even said his tripled. I'm currently using it and couldn't be happier!

Sgs3 system update 7/15/12 does not have proper root access anymore?

After today's system update for my sgs3. I believe it took my root out. I downloaded a free root checker and it said "this device does not have proper root access" I first noticed when I opened mybackup pro and my toolbox wasn't there anymore. I wanted to freeze some more bloatware. What should I do not? Unroot then reroot?

You don't accept system updates from carriers or samsung if your rooted.

You're just going to have to wait to see if someone can figure out a way to obtain root on it While you wait, you may want to go read all the things you were supposed to read before you rooted (e.g. warnings in big letters about not taking updates). If you're going to root and play around with the sensitive bits of your phone, its pretty important to know exactly what you're doing. Everything you need to know is here, you just need to read it.

My last two phones have been Motorola and im new to Samsungs.. We used an app called Voodoo OTA Root keeper when there was a new OTA out. MOST of the time it would protect root on an OTA, but, like everything else, it wasnt 100% guarantee. Does anyone know if this app works with Samsung and the GS3?

No it doesnt.. YOU LIVE AND LEARN NOW.

last i checked, he can just reroot the phone like he did the first time. they never blocked that as far as i know. I'm assuming your not using a verizon s3.

I'm on sprint..I'm not looking to install roms I just wanted to root to remove the bloatware to save battery and the WiFi tether. I never got the tether to work even after watching videos but my battery has been great. I guess I'll wait for an update but I have no idea how to find out if there's an update or not. The gs3 update was just for bugs and security update. So I dont think the firmware or anything changed? Thanks for the help btw I'm new.

I was rooted before the update but was tired of the dang nag screen...so after reading from others that rooting still works, I accepted the update and re-rooted + flashed update to radio. Everything has been fine.
I think the update took away part of the search functionality that Apple has been squawking about, so I downloaded that file to avoid the issue.
BTW I also had trouble at one point getting WiFi Tether to work, even using recommended profile = Samsung Galaxy Nexus (CDMA/LTE). I deleted, then re-installed and it seems to be working fine.
Now I do have a question about OTA RootKeeper by Project Voodoo. According to the app page on Google Play -
Typical system where the protection won't work:
- HTC Desire
- Samsung Galaxy Spica
- Samsung Galaxy S / SII
but when you look at the app itself, it says that

Actually, i used OTA rootkeeper on my ATT GS3 to protect my root from the dumb search OTA update and it kept mg root alive. Im using stock samsung rom. So for me at least, OTA rootkeeper worked perfect. Just remember to go in the program (i refuse to call them apps), and back up your root before you apply the OTA.

So I guess that answers my above question that VooDoo does work on the S3... but it will not work if an update is "pushed manually" via Odin?

If i'm not in hurry to get my root back, what am i waiting for and how should i know that it's ready?

To the OP, I am not sure if you are still having issues getting rooted, but I used the method described Here.
like another user posted, I was rooted and was tired of the nagging about updates, so I took the update and forgot to download Voodoo OTA rootkeeper. I used the above method and was able to reroot without a problem. I then used OTA Rootkeeper to maintain root. Havent had an issue since.
Hope this helps

ICS/JB as a whole is currently a non-starter because we are lacking drivers for the cell radio. I could probably make ICS AOSP boot and be more or less usable but you wouldn't be able to make/receive calls, SMS, or data (without Wi-Fi). When I have time I'm gonna try a few things, but don't hold your breath.

Its an all in one file. Its a program that uploads the ics onto your phone just follow the instructions.
MAKE SURE TO INSTALL SAMSUNG KIES FIRST.
I think the people who have problems don't have right usb drivers installed. Samsung kies will install right drivers.
I also notice the backgrounds don't rotate once u switch from default ones. Which is annoying. I'm sure another fix for next version.

I rooted using this method while still on 4.1.2 and it worked flawlessly.
I then paid for and installed SuperSU Pro and activated "Survival Mode"
Lastly, after the OTA update was COMPLETELY finished, I followed this simple procedure to get root back again.
SuperSU disables Knox for you on 4.3 which is also nice. I should have qualified here that I am COMPLETELY stock other than root. I have not "frozen" any apps., deleted any Samsung provided files, etc. and I have stock bootloader and stock recovery. This will likely NOT work if you have done any of those things.

Is there a flashable version of this? If not, can somebody make one? Thanks.

I'm running a custom rom and rollouts/updates from vendors freak me out because I don't trust not one of them. Knowing AT&T they have thrown in some bit of encryption that locks the bootloader. I understand this might not be the case this time but I do know none of them can be trusted.
Now if you excuse me, I'm 1/2 done with 1984 the book and my tin foil hat is making me itch.

Guys I need help I am stuck, I am using unlock att with tmobile, I check software update but it days interrupted, and I even tried with kies but it's not connecting at all, I tried 2 pcs.... Any help... What to do to update it... Please

I have a few questions for you and/or those more in the know:
If I were to do this same thing, would I be able to flash a custom recovery (like TWRP) and/or flash custom ROM's/Kernels like I can already do now? One of my main concerns is that the stock kernel doesn't support Boeffla Sound, and that really makes for better audio on this device...might as well take full advantage of that Wolfson DAC...
I have to admit, it would be nice to be able to use pure AT&T stock, but rooted, as a base...this is why I loved the old CleanROM AT&T SE so much...
TIA for any guidance you can give on this.
Side note: after ODIN'ing back to 4.1.2 MA4, it says I have a 741MB update I can take....I'm sure that's this 4.3 update...Culpeper, VA here.

I did the same as marchusdavis but it resulted in a total disaster. After I downloaded the OTA update from AT&T I restarted my phone and it installed through CWM-Touch. At the end it asked if I wanted to ensure root was maintained and of course I said "yes" there (as well as through my SuperSU Pro Survival Mode). When it booted, my WiFi no longer works AND I lost root.
If anyway has any advice on how to get to a stock 4.3 from here please let me know!

Ugh, having trouble updating atm.
Goes up to 30%, then my phone reboots and says
"The update was interrupted" or something like that
On stock 4.1.2 rooted with stock recovery if anyone can help.

I don't believe so, as I am completely stock, bootloader and all. If you want to install other ROMs, you'd need to use a different method I believe. Likely downloading this update either via Kies or something else, and use ODIN to do everything. If you search around a bit on XDA, you'll probably find someone who has done it successfully and posted how. While I like custom ROMs, I have not had a need to use one yet on this device. However, if Samsung doesn't eventually give us Air Command, that might be enough to make me try it!

Is it possible to get the official update from the leak or do I have to downgrade to 4.1.2? I tried updating from the leak but it said it's the latest version.

Does anyone have any info on downgrading from OH1? I've yet to see any info on it, though it is apparently the latest modem for this phone, and quite frankly, it blows. I tried dropping to the MD4, and lost my MEID and things. Thankfully I had a modem backup and it worked coming back, but man, I hate that I can't update my data profile on AICP and none of the Touchwiz roms list compatibility with this new modem.
I'm new to the Samsung scene and all this extra crap I couldn't do with other devices is confusing as hell at 1am and no sleep or coffee. I know OH1 is what was there after the Stagefright update, but it may have been there when I bought the phone. Ideas and suggestions would be awesome on getting back to stock or switching to TW without losing service programming.
Please keep in mind I don't have a PC but I do have Mobile ODIN and the latest TWRP.

Does anyone have any info on downgrading from OH1? I've yet to see any info on it, though it is apparently the latest modem for this phone, and quite frankly, it blows.

Can't downgrade firmware, you can use any OD2 or OH1 Touchwiz ROM.

Except there aren't any that I can find. The latest ones all show something other than OD2 and OH1. I assume I'm stuck with AICP for just that reason, which is crap because I can't revert to a stock TouchWiz OD2 that doesn't seem to exist. I haven't got a PC on my truck so I can't use Kies to get it back to actual stock. I suppose I'm screwed then.
Edit: I've seen plenty of s4 and up OD2 and OH1 roms but nothing for the S3. I know it's old as hell but damn, it's still a fairly solid phone.

Oops, my bad... I thought this was the S4 forum (the latest update is also OH1)... You need to use an ND8 or NJ2 ROM. I have 2 of them for the S3 in the Android Development section.

Same situation kind of...
I too had done the ota update to oh1 on my s3 and the modem turned to crap. I rerooted and installed wicked s5 xperience 2.2. used the flash directions except I used twrp no issues at all dirty flash and then clean flash. Modem works way better... I get signal in places I didn't have before.

i got the same problem

I know they have the triband S4 (L720T), sorry just figured they would have the L710T as well.

I returned my s3 to non-rooted stock NJ2 using Odin and it updated to OH1. I don't have service but want to activate it on RIngPlus. I am having this issue where the display flashes off and power button does not respond as it is supposed to. Wondering if a flash to a different rom will fix it. The problem is not new though. Even when drawing the pattern to unlock screen will go off.
