Need your advice!!

Since I have my E4GT rooted, is it safe to push the OVA update for signal Los that Spring just pushed out? It's just that I keep getting the notification that I have the update ready to download and it is becoming extremely annoying.

Same here

Rule #1 of rooting, never take an OTA. If you want to take it. You must first completely unroot, then accept the OTA. Otherwise wait for a dev to release a rooted version.

I wouldn't really say that's rule #1, probably more like rule #23 or #24... the first like 20 rules mainly include Modding, getting sh*t for free, and banging b*itchs

Thanks for the advice guys I truly appreciate it....will probably just wait like you said and until then just keep clearing the notification.

If you're rooted or running any other system modification, the OTA won't apply to your phone. Even if you try, it will fail and you'll just reboot back to your normal phone. Your best bet is to actually install an EK02-based ROM. If you want to stick to stock with just the new modem and kernel, and keep root, I recommend the UnNamed ROM that was recently posted. It's basically a rooted, debloated stock with CIQ removed.
Basically exactly what I was looking for.
It also includes the latest CWM, making future flashes nice and easy.

There was a trick to keeping it cleared until you reboot when i had my nexus s, but i can't remember what it was. Try searching the the nexus s forums for it. It'll keep you from going insane from clearing it 20times a day.

no OTA for me...
i have stock non-rooted phone. mine is running 2.3.4
i try and go into settings to update my system and it says i have the most current version. any reason it's not pushing to my phone yet?

any idea what the sprint update included? would it be worth reverting to a stock rom to get it?

Sprint said that its a minor update thats primary fixes are for:
- 4G Sprint Hotspot disconnects when in a phone call
- Radio loses signal and may require power cycle
Couldn't hurt i guess. But there are a bunch of roms already out there that are using the ek02 update. Just use one of those so you dont have to do double the work.

jb on verizon?

Any update on this? I read a week or two ago that a few people received test otas but I was wondering when Verizon users can expect to receive jellybean ota

No word from Verizon. Have been running CM10 on CM nightlies .just reverted back to 4.0.4 in case they release this month. But if not I'll re-unlock and re-root and just wait for keylimepie. But hope to get it within the month or I'm done re-waiting for ota.

Verizon doesn't push the updates for Toro. Google does. Big Red does, however, need to sign off on the update prior to it rolling out, especially given that it will include new basebands. It also bears mentioning that Toro has, at times, been first to receive an update

Yes, that is correct. My point is, Verizon is the rate limiting step in the process, and if OP really wants Jelly Bean, then he might as well flash it himself. After all, isn't that the beauty of a Nexus?

Use the leaked update http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=30846512#post30846512

Only custom rom that is running the leaked "customized" version of the verizon rom is thuderstick red Bull. It's a nice, verizon friendly rom

Only rom that is Verizon friendly? I've ran several roms. The toro roms work. Some have issues that some do not. Bugless beast works, so does CM nightlies. There are many flavors of jb just try and use the one that works for you. Its not a contest. Its your phone play, test, find the rom that works best for you. Saying one developer is better than the other. Its all user choice. And developers deserve appreciation its their work that make customizing possible.

I was speaking to vzw tech support today. Direct quote, almost verbatim : "I was just checking on the status of the software update that addresses the issues you're having with data connectivity. The reason it took so long is I was checking several third party websites. I wasn't able to find any information about a release date..."
This translates roughly to "I had to search Google, because Verizon is retarded. "

I never said that there is ONLY one Verizon Friendly rom out there, there's almost 100 of them that work perfectly fine. There's plenty of "toro" roms out there, but the specific question was stability and if he didn't want to veer too far away from Stock, while still maintaining a working set of Verizon apps. I use the Verizon apps as well, but it's always a manual process and when it breaks there's always a procedure.

I too like the Verizon data usage widget comes in handy. I totally agree that there are alot of roms that the app gave the log in issue before Verizon's gn update. But like I posted in other posts I reverted back to the k ota. But after today that sprint is updating today we will be soon to follow. So I will half fast for a week or 2 more before I never look back on OTA again. :banghead:

I was ticked for the slap in the face from Verizon. Letting Sprint beat our phones to JB. So I changed my mind on waiting for the ota. Loaded JRO03O. Seems solid and fast. More bars in radio than I ever had both WiFi and lte/cdma. I can say this my last damn contract!

No Update

My wife and I have the same phone, both have cwm installed and rooted.. Today she got a upgrade to Android 4.1.1 and mine is still 4.0.4. I checkd mine and it say my phone is up to date. What is up with that... I checked after the update and her phone still has root..

Never mind. After clearing google service framework in app manager, it worked, downloading now.. BTW what is the big deal on this up date? As I haven't noticed much difference in looks anyway..

It upgrades the software from Ice Cream Sandwich to Jelly Bean.

You really see no difference in ICS and jellybean?

Google search is different. Menu settings are different. Web browser is different. Off the top of my head. You can always go back to ics if you don't like it. No one would be offended.

JB runs alot smoother. ICS was a great upgrade from GB lol.. But JB overall is smooth, quicker, and above stated has changed. But run what you like to run. only opinion that truly matters is yours.

I'm running JB, but I thought there was a physical difference, like the OS looked a lot different. But it still looks like Ice to me..

As far as i know if u are rooted and try to take the jb update it doesnt over write after it install the jb update for me it reboots into twrp recovery I reboot im still Rooted on 4.0.4

In order for the update to go through you have to be on STOCK recovery, not TWRP or CWM.

When can I expect to get update
My wife and I just upgraded to the Galaxy S III last Friday when Sam's Club had them for 96 cents (we couldn't pass up the deal). I have gone about as far as I want to on setting up the phone before I get the update. As I ran a none standard Epic 4G I never received software updates from Sprint. My question is when can I expect to receive this update????
I need to root the S3 so that I can finish setting it up.
Thanks for the information.

Not really too sure but it should be soon. Maybe within the first month of next year? the note just got it and we should soon follow. Its not easy either because there are a lot of updating that needs to be done and they test everything so it takes time. It will be some time before we get 4.2 and by that time, google will probably have released another OS in google IO. Ill be real, JB is great on these devices, i actually want google to slow down the updates so that manufacturers can somewhat catch up to the latest one in updateing capable devices and then move on forward. Also you have to look at the fact that they well you your S3, they make money. zthe already worked ICS onto it and were paid for ICS and the S3. when they have to develop and work on JB, Thats on their own money and time. But yeah, im getting off margin here. I belive that the s3 can probably see one more update after 4.2. after that, well it will be pointless as the GS5 may be in the horizon which aint bad. After my s3, ill probably go for the GS5 if im not too compelled by the note 3 lol

If that were the OTA Update, we'd say share the File with others , so we can MOD it to death!
Once the OTA update hits The east coast of USA or where ever it hits first, someone will upload the stock file! I herd it was suppost to hit Poland Dec 21, 2012

I just bought mine yesterday and the update was available when I get home with it.

I get the same battery life I did before.
Use BetterBatteryStats to determine what's the cause of bad battery life. I had problems when I first updated - found out it was Google Now trying to use GPS all the time for the most part. They really ought to tell people about that and make it more clear since many don't seem to realise what's going on.
I know that the eBay app is also a battery hog, but I can't part with it.

I'm happy to have JB...I was on ICS previous with the HTC One S (long story but good ending). My question with 4.1.2.....will it come with Photo Sphere camera app? I'm completely stock unrooted...not ever going to root...so don't even tell me to root please.

Haha this is comical good one... well from what I know 4.2 obviously international markets would get it first(maybe they already have it?) Maybe someone can chime in on this. Since these updates take so long I bet most carriers are just skipping 4.1.2 and go straight to 4.2 next year. Consider most US carriers just got 4.1 lol
Sent from my SGH-T959V using xda app-developers app

The only devices that have 4.2 is Nexus devices at the moment. They always get stuff as soon as it is announced because they are pure google devices. 4.1.2 is incremental and the international Note 2 already has it. 4.2 is still some time away bro. I mean you can flash a CM10.1 ROM and that literally is 4.2, but it is missing all the Samsung packages. Samsung's actual 4.2 official release is still far off. Expect to see it leaked before the OTA hits.

My bad....I posted that very early in the morning....I confused 4.1.2 with 4.2. Still hope we get photo sphere at some point though. Never understand why carriers get rid of some features.

I've had 4.1.1 now for a few weeks and I do not see the buttery-ness of jelly bean at all that everyone is talking about. I actually notice some severe lag whenever I use the keyboard. Anything from typing in text messages and searching in the browser makes the keys sticky as can be

[Q] How can I get 4.3 Jellybean?

I currently have 4.1.2 on my Note II and the custom Jedi X rom. I see a lot of roms that are 4.2 and upward so I'm wondering.. How I can get 4.3 or even a 4.3 rom on my device? Also, is it safe?

Yes u can get 4.2 or 4.3 roms.. but all of them would be aosp based as we don't have a touchwiz based rom above 4.1.2

Similar post on tmo news showing the big 4 ota schedule. It had tmo deploying on the Monday after Thanksgiving.
I am definitely not going to upgrade ota. The GS III guys who ota'd to the 4.3 TW got seriously screwed on the new bootloader. Can't revert to any older roms and if you try, it'll brick the phone.
No thanks.
Hastily spouted for your befuddlement

Hey I gotta be honest I have the s3 and I switched to simple so I had to revert back to stock to unlock the SIM. Now I have been out of the loop for a while so I knew nothing about the boot loader being locked so I did the oat update to 4.3 and I gotta say the latest version of tw is really good. This is coming from a guy who hates stock firmware. I haven't really seen the need to root the phone. Maybe I am just getting old and lazy idk but I also heard that chainfire found a way around the locked bootloader so I wouldnt worry about it much. Even if he didnt it is only a matter of time before someone does.

I put docholiday77's rom on my wife's s3. It's nice to be sure. No ota's though. While the community will likely get around the bootloader bit, I'd just rather not have to worry about it.
TWRP or CWM are fine. I can wait for the lads here to tear the TW roms apart and put them back together. We have awesome people here doing bleeding edge stuff, why not appreciate the work they work so hard to provide? OTA's can suck it.
