So, today at 2am my phone went all crazy with a status for a new software update. But unlike the leak 200mb+ this one is only comes at 94mb. Is this the official jelly from Samsung and tmobile? Here's a screen shot of the package being downloaded.
Update: false alarm, still reads 4.0.4.

Same here. I downloaded it, not thinking that it may hose me, but then I postponed the install, not wanting to potentially lose root and/or custom recovery.

Question for people who have downloaded and installed the OTA update.. Did anyone of you guys lose root after installing the update?

from what Ive read, root is intact but the update replaces the custom recovery with stock recovery. (correct me if Im wrong, but I read this on this forum)
New
Yea I saw the update to, unfortunately I had to titanium stop them due to my ROM
Been reading all day every time you reboot it reverts back to stock recovery.I think there's already a fix but im gonna wait till someone cooks a Rom with new firmware that have the fix baked right in like raisins in oatmeal cookies

Yes there is a very easy fix! Delete or rename these:
/system/etc/install-recovery.sh
/system/recovery-from-boot.p
Now reinstall your preferred recovery and reboot.
Thats it!

I'm unrooted, no custom stock, kernel, anything, and I got this update today.
Still 4.0.4, only differences that I could tell were in the web browser and in the pull-down menu from the top of the screen. There's a brightness slider there now, and the brightness options in the browser are gone.

I tried deleting them using Astro. I got a "file delete error". I assume it is because I do not have root.

Alright I need some help I actually just received the update this morning, and To me it just screwed something up really bad with my notifications, before the update whenever I would receive a txt the phone would vibrate only which is cool, now when I'm in a call the phone does the Notification sound and vibrates, and I'm that person who texts alot so it gets extremely annoying when your on the phone and it vibrates every 5 seconds to wear previously it would just be a notification sound , but now it does both I can deal with the sound just not the vibration, I checked all the setting read everything possible online even called t-mobile and nothing!!! You guys know of any solutions? And if not I might have to revert back to the previous version even then I still don't know how to do that.

Try going to settings-motion - and turn OFF smart alert.. That's the setting that makes your device vibrate when missed calls /messages are received to notify you when picking up the device..

I already had that setting off I doubled checked and still, dude it was perfect before the update now it's just driving me insane!!!!!! But anyways thanks the help I reall appreciate any suggestions.
To start, my GS3 was rooted, had a custom recovery, but was still on stock Rom. I followed QBKing77 video today on manually installing the JB rom. I put stock recovery back on, then applied the update. It flashed just fine. I was still rooted after the flash (wasnt sure if I was supposed to be still rooted). Anyway, phone worked for a good 4 hours, checked everything out and everything worked just fine. Suddenly, the phone is frozen now. It is not responding to touch and is vibrating as if it is having a problem. Cant even unlock it. If I slide my finger on it, this green box highlights things on my homescreen. Everytime I slide my finger on it, it toggles through some of the items on my homescreen (sprint, then the clock/weather widget, then each of the short cuts on the lock screen) then starts over again. Each time it vibrates as well. Cant unlock the phone and I am just stuck...HELP PLEASE???
Never heard of that one before. Pull the battery and reboot?

Yes I did this, restarted phone and it goes right back to the same situation everytime. Frozen...
Not sure what to try. Maybe get into recovery and clear the caches.

I was going to try to unroot and odin back to stock ICS using the tar file... Thoughts? I figured regardless of what I am on, I can always go back to true stock by odin-ing back using the stock tar... right?
ya that works too
I figured it out now, for some reason, in settings, accessibility, "talk back" was on, this caused the entire phone to not respond act semi frozen... I somehow got into settings by trying all sorts of things (swiping, double tapping, pinch to zooming, etc), and was able to turn it off...now the phone is fine. I am not sure why talk back would completely change everything and freeze the entire phone up. But I would not select that feature and turn it on...the phone literally felt unusable. I was 5 min away from odin-ing back to stock tar before I found this issue...
I would say skip the bs and just Odin back to stock. If this doesn't fix it, it's beyond software.

Is there an option somewhere in the settings menu to hear a sound when typing? Is it not an option on the Note2? I haven't seen mention of this on the forums. Anyone else notice this, mine is turned off and I can't find a way to enable it.

Yeah, I found it and it's ticked, still not working. I purchased my device barely used for a few days from a member here and it came rooted. I am downloading the factory image to flash it back to bone stock using Odin. Hopefully, it works after reflashing stock ROM. I love the phone and I can live without the sound when typing but I would like it back.
might sound dumb to mention...but is the phone on vibrate or silent? that's happened to me on occasion

Nope, I checked everything, I reflashed back to bone stock, started from scratch and got it working again. I rooted and installed cwm recovery and it's working like a charm.

Does this mean for me too. Though I didn't notice it until I dirty flashed a ROM over stock.
But I may just have never restarted prior to the flash, so I can't be sure it's related.
This is a know issue with JB 4.1.1 and was corrected with JB 4.1.2 update. We now just have to wait till AT&T pushes it to us.
I've only noticed the keyboard issue on the stock ATT rom. I've been on the tmobile rom for 2 days and haven't noticed a keyboard issue at all.

**MUST BE ON STOCK TOUCHWIZ TO ACCESS DIALER MENU**
Thought I post this method on a different way to get GPS back from flashing from different ROMs. When I lost it, a fresh Odin install did not fix GPS. Basically nothing worked; clear maps data, Google. Servicesframework, tightening all my screws, gps fix it apps, etc.. Tried them all.
Then I came across a post that was in a att s3 thread started by "egyptshun"
So shout outs to him.
[QUOTE/]if you dont see your gps icon on status bar. there is problem on your gps chip.
becouse that was happend to me my I747. im more confused about it.
i try more things like rom change,, firmware upgrade,, orginal samsung updates,, etc,, no more fix
after i go to the samsung service mode *#197328640#
then go to mainmenu>UMTS>Common>NV REBUILD>NV REBUILD>finish and dont exit menu
wait 30 sec
long press power button and select restart..
thats all
now check your GPS from gps software...
if this is fix your problem dont forget to thanks....[/QUOTE]
so yeah there it is. This method worked lovely for me. I was about to do a warranty exchange till I seen this.. Saved me the hassle
Hope this helps someone. And remember PLZ THANKS

Thanks for the info
This worked great, my gps issues started when I flashed to a 4.2.2 rom and went back to stock 4.1.1. After searching endlessly this is the easiest fix there is out there.
Fast and easy
WOW. This worked so fast and easy! GPS Signal locked on instantly after the reboot and turning on GPS. I lost my GPS going from Cyanogenmod 10.1 to Darthstalker S3 edition Version XI.
Yeah I was so relieved when I did this.. It was such a head ache. Been seeing a lot of people going thru the same thing.
So maybe this could get stickied or something

Restore a touch wiz nandroid, if u have one. Then use the dialer code. It'll be faster that way, you won't have to Odin, and use a pc

Might want to state in the OP that the Samsung code only works on the Touchwiz dialer just to make it clear. :thumbup:

WOW! My GPX had broke for the second time and I was about to cry thinking about Odin lmao.

Since this fix seems to be pretty solid (and becoming a prevalent issue), I've included it in my signature.
This thread makes me a lot less wary about flashing something like Liquidsmooth, when Wicked remains my daily. I'd need to switch back and forth. Good to see there seems to be a practical way of dealing with possible GPS loss, without jumping through hoops to get it back.
