I saw the same thing. No need to update if you have already updated.

I just got the notice too. However, I am rooted with the stock rom. When I check for the actual update it doesn't appear. What gives?

You can try running the OTA but it may fail if you have a custom recovery.
You can use this procedure if you are fully stock (but rooted) LI3:
- You must not have any modified or removed system files.
- You must be odexed (not de-odexed).
- Download eec955eb4a5b.update_SPH-L710_LI3_to_LJ7.zip and save it to your sdcard.
- Download TeamEpic-Root-from-Recovery-v5.zip and save it to your sdcard.
- Make sure you are fully stock (replace any files that you have modified or removed. i.e. Swype, etc).
- Boot into CWM recovery (I found that TWRP will not work due to ro.secure=0).
- Make a nandroid backup (optional but recomended)
- Flash the LI3_to_LJ7 udpate
- Flash the Team Epic (optional but will insure that the ROM does not reinstall the stock recovery on reboot).
- Wipe Cache.
- Reboot
If you are not completely stock LI3 there are other methods posted around here that will work for you.

[Q] Quick JB OTA Question

I currently have a Telus GSM GNex 4.0.4 flashed to the yakju builds so I can receive the OTA updates directly from Google. If I install the stock Jelly Bean 4.1 ROM, will I be able to receive subsequent OTA updates from Google?
Thanks.

yes
AFAIK, for flashing 4.1, u need CWM. if u have CWM, u cant get OTA.

We need to be a bit clearer than that in order to not cause confusion:
1) CWM is needed to flash JRN84D in current form, but that doesn't mean that CWM needs to be installed on your device. Booting CWM is fine.
2) All stock ROMs (including JRN84D) which have been updated from a previous build via an OTA update have two files in /system which re-flash the stock recovery on EVERY reboot. So, even if you did have CWM flashed, it would be gone unless you modified the ROM.
3) Even if you do keep CWM, you will still receive the notification that there is an OTA update, and you can install it -- it just won't install automatically. You need to manually download it, re-boot into CWM and flash it. But it will work fine.

Question about root and roms

If I root my S3 will I still be able to get the OTA updates? I rooted my Atrix and after that I couldn't get the OTA updates. Also what is the best ROM?

If you don't need a specific feature from the stock firmware (gestures, wifi calling, etc), just get CM or AOKP and save yourself a headache.
Best? As far as stock? I've read LI6 is decent.
Well with my Atrix when Android 3.0 came out I wasn't able to update it because I was rooted. So my question is when Jelly Bean comes out will I be able to update it to Jelly bean if I am rooted or have a custom rom installed?

3.0 wasn't even for phones. If you install custom recovery you will not be able to receive an OTA until you flash the stock recovery. Just use a jellybean ROM.

How can this be true? This is what I did.
Restored a UVALEM nandroid (via CWM). It was the original firmware on the phone when I bought it (no custom install, but I rooted with the Sprint method a couple weeks prior), I just happened to keep this backup.
Reset factory defaults.
Nandroid again for clean UVALEM backup.
Use Software > About phone > Software update to get the UVALH2 update. It was ~90mb.
Phone rebooted after it was done.
Dropped into CWM to make another backup (CWM still here, was never removed).
Downloaded LI6 JB OTA from SamMobile. Installed that from CWM.
I have LI6, never removed CWM. And it is still there. Root should be, although I did not test to confirm.
If you can't receive OTAs with custom recovery/root, how did this work? Is it a feature that was not active in the UVALH2 build? What about the LI6 build I flashed from CWM?

I don't know, clockworkmod is supposed to block the installation of OTA updates.

Hmm, I'm using 6.0.1.2, and it does ask me if I want to disable /system/etc/install-recovery.sh, when I try to exit.

[solved] Upgrading my SGS3 to stock rooted JB

So...
I have backed up and sync'ed all my data, so data loss is not a concern
I am currently running stock rooted L710VPLG8, with the bloat removed
I have installed and configured OTA root keeper
I have mobile ODIN installed
I also have ODIN installed on my XP laptop and a good cable to use
I am looking to update to the OTA version of stock, rooted JB, and I will be able to finalize the setup from there.
I dont care if I have to resetup everything or reinstall my apps, all I need to get back to where I want to go, is backed up.
I feel that a full wipe and reset would be the best way by far, and plan on a factory reset before I start, just to be sure I am moving forward with as clear a base as possible (but kinda doubt it is needed if I use ODIN from my PC.)
So, is it easiest to just ODIN the OTA tar and reroot, or can I just copy the OTA file to the SD card and use Mobile ODIN?
I have the basic of using the tools down, just looking for a tip on how to
a) get a clean build to start off on
b) move to the official stock JB build
c) end up with root access after updating (dont care about counter in firmware)
I downloaded and extracted the file from odin-tar combination_l710vpblj7 Jelly Bean, is there a better version to use with Mobile ODIN, if that is preferred?
Is QBKing's vid the best route for my given setup?
Best to go back to 100% stock, do the OTA, and reroot?
I don't think there's a JB OTA from Sprint yet. So far these JB ROMs are based on leaks.
In any case, doing a factory reset/wipe from your custom recovery should suffice. You don't need to unroot/wipe/reroot.
Going to dl the rooted non-data wipe from: from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1941546
Sounds like this will get me all I am looking for, and w/o a data wipe.
If that doesnt take, gonna try the one that wipe everything.

Wrong lol. In general theres like 3 different topics containing the JB OTA update. I used it on Thursday to update from LI3.
And OP, just unroot, if your on lg8 after the unroot stock, go download the lg8 to li3 ota, boot into recovery, install via external storage. After that completes download the li3 to LJ7, and do the same thing and you will be there.
The JB OTA: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1956618
and just search for the lg8 to li3 ota zip

[Q] How to update rooted unlocked Nexus with 4.2 OTA

Hello All,
My Galaxy Nexus "TAKJU" is rooted and unlocked in Android 4.1.2 version.
Baseband: I9250XXLF1
Build No: JZ054K
Now I remember that directly going for OTA during 4.1.2 had issues and I had to download the stock 4.1.2 and flash.
Is there any way - I can go ahead with the OTA of 4.2 without facing issues as earlier?
Any help is appreciated!
download a rooted stock rom, boot into your custom recovery of choice, createca nandroid backup in the recovery, wipe data/factory reset, flash the rooted rom that you downloaded, reboot. backup all that you want to backup first.

Root is fine, however any modifications to system apps(i.e deodexed) and/or build.prop = you need to go back to stock 4.1.2 other than that you should be fine
Wow! that was the thing.. had modified my build prop file. restored the original one from 4.1.2 and went ahead with OTA and in breeze, there it came up!
Thanks all!
royzlife said:
Thanks but one question - doing a data wipe, does it clean /sdcard/ directory contents as well? I guess the internal storage remains unaffected.
Sorry again, have a bad memory with what I did last time.

na, it'll remain untouched. just don't flash a factory image. go to the development section and pick out a rooted stock rom or aosp rom. I'm using an aosp ROM by kalo86.

do not double post.
you are currently ON the latest stock firmware for your device. are you wanting to install a custom ROM to get a newer (4.2.2) release?
you can use Rom Manager to update your recovery. once thats done, if you havent done so yet, boot into recovery and make a nandroid (backup). you may need it down the road.
yes!
Yes I want to know how i can update my 4.1.1 once the newer Jelly Bean 4.2.2 update is available.
i have made a nandroid back and i also made a titantiam backup..
is there a newer version of CWM for my phone??rom manager says no.

The 4.2.2 custom roms are located in the Original Android Development section. There is no 4.2.2 update from samsung. Look them over and read up on the flashing process. The link in my signature has some good information.
