So I'm rooted, running the Rogers kernel and the AT&T rom. I've removed the bloatware myself. Today I was notified of an AT&T update. My phone will download it, but it fails to install.
Anybody else experiencing this?

Probably failing a check sum. I'm avoiding updates in case they update something that prevents me from rooting.
I am rooted as well, and don't want the update.
Is there a way to disable the update checking?
I am getting this prompt also, and I wish to disable it (until I know what the update will do)
EDIT: For now I just leave my WiFi disabled (as it will only update over WiFi)
I still want to disable the checking though
i just got the update and it now says android 2.3.6

I know that before updates install they check can check your phone and if packages have been removed, like you did, it can block the update. You may have to restore the packages that you removed before it will install.
This is the first phone I have rooted. I would like to know what the update changes, specifically if it fixes the Android OS high battery usage. Also if the update causes you to lose root or can be rooted after.

Got the update, and it is stuck at 74%. Has been for about 20 minutes. I'm not rooted. Think I should wait or pull the batt?
I've got the update downloaded and I'm rooted. Haven't installed the update yet, because I'm wondering if this will unroot my phone and bring back our friends from Carrier IQ…
Looking at the 2.3.6 changelog for a Galaxy S2 their update actually removed CarrierIQ

Same here. Rooted with Rogers kernel, AT&T ROM. Still failed the update even with the default launcher, USB Debugging set to off, and default packages (bloatware) intact. Is there a method to "unrooting" and restoring the default unrooted kernel/ROM? Would someone have had to backed up or dumped their ROM first somehow? (ODIN?)

Same here. Boots into software update mode. Fails. Restarts.
Girlfriends phone tried to update, I turned off Wifi, then went to Running Services, stopped "Device Management" from running, installed Autostarts, disable Device Management from starting, turned on Wifi, hasn't seemed to come back as of yet.
Rooted AT&T rom FYI

Exact same problem on my wife's phone...she got the update today....she is NOT rooted, and also got stuck at 74% during the update. Not sure whether to pull the battery or just wait longer?
Well, since nobody has been answering my questions about this update I figured no one knows so I went ahead and installed it. I'll take my turn at Guinea pig.
I rooted the phone previously with the guide here: http://www.theandroidsoul.com/root-captivate-glide-rogers-and-att/ , not the one on XDA. I have also removed the tetheringmanager package.
The update installed fine and I still have root. Version says 2.3.6. Don't know what it did.
Lookout labs Carrier IQ detector says I do not have CIQ
I installed this update it
Did work, I still have root it also did remove carrier IQ as mentioned, it did not hang for me. I checked to see if carrier IQ was removed with titanium backup, Android is now 2.3.6, and kernel is now 2.6.36.3 not sure what it was
Before base band is now i927uckl1 not sure if that changed either.
Hope this was of help

Hi,
i bought a Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-I9300 about two months ago, i'm from Spain so i'm not sure it is a T-Mobile device. I think the device came with 4.0.1 update of ICS and some weeks agot the device i got 4.0.4 update and then using CF-Root 6.4 and Odin 1.85 managed to get root access so i was able to install busybox and UMS application from xda forums. So everything was working fine. About 3 days ago i got an update notification which showed me a message which said "Updates will be provided in the request order preference" or something like this, i repeated the operation some times in order to gt the update but had no luck so i thought i had to wait for 4.1 update to get published.
The curious thing is today, when i woke up i noticed a firmware update was ready to be installed so went through it but the strange thing was when i went to settings to check the version and i saw it was still/again 4.0.4 version of ICS. Also noticed Google Play Books and Google Play Movies got installed so on one hand it seemed everything went fine cause new apps were there but on the other hand 4.0.4 versions was still there. After that, i went to check if i still had root access but i hadn't. Then tried to grant root access again using CF-Root and Odin 1.85 but had no luck, so now it's not possible for me get root access again and i'm also still wondering how is it possible that today's update left the phone with the same Android version as before the update. Does any one has a clue about it all? The only explanation i can find is the phoen came with 4.0 version, first update got me to 4.0.1 and today's update guided me to the 4.0.4 but i'm still wondering why root access is not working as it should.
Hope someone can help. Thanks in advanced!

thisis not the forum for the international thats why it specifies what ones it covers in the forum name..
i have a GSM Galaxy Nexus and i'm rooted running the Thunderstick soft and chewy 4.1.1 rom. much to my surprise today my phone received an over the air update asking me to install 4.1.2 ; first of all, i didn't know a non stock custom rom could receive an ota update and i've been rooted on custom roms now since the beginning of ics and my phone has NEVER once ever before received an ota. especially now given that i'm already on a 4.1.1 and i got an ota update asking me to go to 4.1.2; so pretty surprised to put it mildly.
secondly i have GNofficial update app which tells me that my phone is either updated by google or not updated by google which i've found to be depending on what rom i'm using and currently my thunderstick rom makes it say i'm not updated by google. even if i wasn't rooted i never thought i would be updated by google anyway since i'm in canada not the united states and on some little ****ty carrier called Mobilicity. the last thing i ever expected was to receive an ota update. who sent it? Mobilicity? Google? i don't even have a clue where exactly this ota update is coming from. am i to believe that my galaxy nexus which came with android 4.0.1 originally out of the box and has never once before ever received an ota update would suddenly send me 4.1.2? so to re-cap that means if i had never rooted i would still have been at 4.0.1 and suddenly be getting 4.1.2 and in Canada and on Mobilicity of all things. so i'm super confused but that's not even my real question.
what i'd like to know is what will this update do to me? will it bring me from this beautiful exquisite custom thunderstick soft and chewy 4.1.1 to the STOCK 4.1.2??? and unroot me? it wont stop pestering me about it either, it just keeps prompting me do go for it! i checked on rom manager and there isn't a thunderstick 4.1.2 yet. mostly i'm very confused at even receiving it and that it keeps prompting me as if i have to do it or it wont go away. i could just imagine me doing it and then it sucking cause it's stock and not like thunderstick's soft and chewy which i've fallen in love with and then me going to the trouble of re-rooting and re-flashing thunderstick and then probably receiving the damn OTA all over again! has anyone else had this happen? why am i receiving a stock ota update when i'm already not even running stock?
is there a way i can make it stop asking me to install the ota update? can i make it stop appearing in the notification?
So I have a small question...
I have a Galaxy Nexus, had it since day 30 or so. Updated OTA many times and rooted every time, using the stock ROM so everything is perhaps more simple.
The lady friend has also got a GN. Her phone downloaded the OTA update and is now bugging her to install. She purchased her phone only a couple of months ago. We're on the same build number but my GN won't see the update to 4.2.
Is there a reason for this? Did Google pull the update once they have figured out the December bug and haven't yet fixed it?
I am a little worried as I used the Galaxy Nexus Toolkit to root my 4.1.2 phone but as the toolkit wasn't updated, I used the settings for 4.1.1. I am certain I did this to my partners phone too, but that is the only thing I can think of as to why I haven't got the update.
I'm not totally desperate for it, but just wondering why.
Thanks

Nobody really knows (afaik) how Google decides which Nexus devices get OTA updates first. I'm pretty sure it has nothing to do with how 'old' your device is though. And having root won't affect the OTA update, don't worry. You do need stock recovery though.
Stock recovery?
I don't have anything like CWM installed. My phone is completely stock apart from rooted
Might try re-rooting using the Toolkit as my phone version (just in case) and then just wait I guess. Just a shame it won't see the update as I would have thought once they set the server to show there is a new version, all devices would see it... just like Windows Update for instance.
Man up and do it the right way..
Refer to the root sticky in the Q&A section by Jubakuba..
Beamed from my Grouper.
i followed the unroot galaxy s3 thread because i accidentally pressed update when OTA update popped up on my rooted phone.
downloaded the latest android zip and updated with ODIN.
but it doesnt show 4.2 it still shows 4.1.1 android.
im a bit confused.
theres just too much **** available and i lost track of all these build numbers and updates and different programs.
i dont spend much time here anymore after i got rid of the HD2 and now im completely lost.
got other stuff to do cant afford spending 3 hours a day to stay on top of latest repackaged rom release

4.1.1 UVDLJC is the latest official firmware.
oh ok then i thought it was 4.2 for some reason
one more question that i could not understand clearly
once i root the phone again. what specific services do i need to disable to prevent the automatic OTA updates?
i disabled one service related to update but didnt see any others.
and once rooted. do i have to unroot it in order to use odin and manually install OTA update that i downloaded?
im not planning to use custom roms( spent toomuch time making them wrk on HD2 and done with that for good)
jsut stock tmobile roms work fine for me.
thanks for quick reply i was about to try flashing again since i thought that it was supposed to be 4.2 version

You don't have to do anything with ota. When next one comes out you can unroot and install the ota as long as you hav stock recovery. If you have custom recivery you can always update with Samsung kies but you would need to reroot the new ROM. Or just flash a ROM through Odin.
