I just rooted and flashed beast mod on my gs2. An hour after using it, T-mobile popped up in my notification tray with a new update. I'm assuming this is 2.3.6 and eventually the dev's will develop or update their roms.
I just want to make sure that I shouldn't update my phone this way, or I will be bricked?
i dont think it will brick you, but it will unroot you.
[Q] got prompted for OTA Update but i'm rooted / custom ROM?

Same Problem Here...
Hi-
I rooted my phone a month ago. I have had no problems except that when I try to download T-Mobile's software update, I get stuck in Clockwork recovery. I don't know what to do next.
Please help!
Thx!

i have the same question
T-Mobile update service
Can I do the T-Mobile update while rooted on a custom rom?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
This is going to be a hot item for most of us with rooted phones. Simply no way of knowing what will happen should we let the update go through. And just to be safe, most of us would prefer to cancel the update.
I followed someone else's advice and used Titanium Backup Pro to:
- wipe data for "Device Manager"
- "freeze" the same application
The nag is gone. I reckon this method should work for everyone with rooted phones.
Otherwise, we'd need to wait to respective ROM teams to release their own patches etc.
TB team should see a nice uptick in app purchases in next few days. The app is well worth it, so if you been on a fence, get it now, $6 well spent.
[Q]OTA Update but i'm rooted?
I just got the ota update. It says it's going to automatically update my phone in 24 hrs. Is this going to mess my phone up? I am currently rooted with. Bombradier rom. Do I need to do anything? Thanks
Sent from my SGH-T989
i am rooted with stock rom and receive the update, np at all. In your case, you have a different rom and not stock. odin probably is the best bet.
bought sgs2 last weekend and rooted using superoneclick and at the end of the day, receive ota update and update my sgs2 and i forgot that i am rooted. i left my phone to finish updating and when i came back, its up and have 2.3.6 uVKL1, did not receive any problem. battery great, wifi calling is there. im just surprised it let me update even though my phone is rooted. btw stock rom, stock kernel just rooted.
I think I'll just wait until somebody comes out with an official sticky solution because I didn't flash any ROM to mine, I just rooted it.... I don't know what to do either... Until someone posts a solution there will be several posts pertaining to this subject

Might be worthwhile to check that out, also you could always restore to stock

Well not really want to go to stock. Then jb update soon too. How you guys find a way to root
Sent from my LG-E971 using xda app-developers app
Never heard about the root for jelly bean (Bet never checked since last summer though).
Anyway, according to some old info, for rooting JB you need unlocked bootloader or the root must be implemented into rom either
I'm trying to flash old software and again some problems lol. So how can I get the kdz file in the updater? I have the stock file In my downloads but don't find it trough the kdz.
Sent from my LG-E971 using xda app-developers app
JB update "soon" could mean anything, i would not put much hope in that...
also try this
run "msxml.msi" in the KDZ updater folder before running "KDZ_FW_UPD.exe"
bahh
bahhh!!! so the only way to get it back to stock is the LGNPST 2.2.3 ??? damn can someone post it?? i went to the og chat but cant type there... or should i wait till there comes a new way of root? sooo sad that i lost my root!!!!!!!!!!!! now cant get it back in stock!!! cand just do it with kdz updater or?
This morning, I received a notification from T-Mobile that there was a software update to 4.1.2 My phone was rooted and had 4.1.1 installed.
I tried OTA unsuccessfully as it would freeze on me. I connected my cell via usb to my computer for the update using Kies. My computer recognized my cell and was installing the update. The phone rebooted and everything appeared to be going well. When i checked my software version it was still at 4.1.1, now I noticed that my phone was un-rooted. Also, when I try to connect to Kies it does not connect to my phone. I tried several times to update via OTA, it will not connect. Please help, I want to update my phone without loss of my data.

Re: [Q] Software Update 4.2.1 HELP!
The update was 4.1.1 with new baseband not 4.2.1. Updating via KIES will definitely unroot the phone.

My cell is unrooted now. Is there anyway to at least update my software to 4.1.2 ???
Thanks for your help and time.
Re: [Q] Software Update 4.2.1 HELP!
I don't think there's an update to 4.1.2 either. Maybe it was a dream.
T-Mobile SGS III
It's all smoke and mirrors.
Not sure yet if it is 4.1.1 with a small patch (as OTA is about 4.3mb) or 4.1.2 (as Sammobile has it listed as 4.1.2 and 700+mb) Jury is still out but here is a thread going on about it ---> New OTA ROM - T999UVDLJC.
We do know that it is not 4.2.1. @OP can you please edit your title accordingly? Post>Edit>Go Advanced Please and thanks.
Edit: Sammobile changed it to 4.1.1. Must have been a typo. It happens. Probably a security patch or something.

Nah, not yet . This thread has evolved into a "Help me get Root back" thread.
I'll let it ride for awhile even though all the answers are readily available. He's brand, spanking new (just registered this morning). But since he is was Rooted, he should know how all this works.
To the OP... the update from what I hear has nothing special.. And if you're rooted, I'm sure you'll be able to flash a custom ROM based off of this update in a matter of weeks.

I downloaded the ATT 4.1.2 update and my phone rebooted as it should, however teamWin touch is up and I have no idea where the ATT update file is located.
Anyone has an idea where the download is located? Directory?

3 options
1. unroot your device in order to update, you need stock recovery to update
2. there's a thread someone uploaded an update.zip which contains the 4.1.2 updates for those with rooted device
3. I think there's an OTA update for rooted, search it up
I think it's located in /cache, just go through the folders there.

I hit reboot then "system" in teamWin, which brings the phone back to stock i think. I'm at work without ATT service (yeah go figure) so I can't tell for sure, but I believe i'll have to re-download the update.
Will update this post later tonight.

From what I remember I experienced the same thing and just rebooted.
Just download stock rooted from loserskater in twrp, make sure you flash bootloaders and modem zip first.... Make sure you read so you don't destroy your phone

I used myself flashed 4.1.1 in Odin and then got ota rootkeeper off the play store and backed up root. Then did temp. unroot and updated to 4.1.2 and then used ota rootkeeper to restore root without any real issues. I say any real issues because after update and restoring root I opened supersu and it wanted to download binary and failed. All I had had to do was restart my device and then supersu worked fine.

Hello,
I have always thought that OTA update would fail with a custom recovery. However after reading about another user's experience I decided to try it. This person stated that when they did the update CWM warned them that it would be replaced and asked if they wanted to fix it. It also warned that they would lose root and asked if they wanted to fix it. Sound familiar to anyone?
I did download the update but when I tried to install it failed. Now AT&T says my software is up to date, which is not true.
I am still on 4.1.2, rooted, CWM installed. Best way to upgrade now? I can't even find the OTA upgrade file that I downloaded.

From my experience with 3 i747m phones, rooted systems well not take an ota update.
Yup, you cannot get the ota if rooted, or with a custom recovery. You need to be full stock. Best way is a fresh firmware flash and factory reset.
I don't have to install OTA, I just wanted to update to the latest official AT&T version. Is there a flashable available that will work coming from 4.1.2?
By the way I used triangle away, downloaded update again, thought it was going to work but the update crashed

The latest firmware that's available is the 4.3 build. Havent been able to make a working one for 4.4.2 yet. But you can update using that firmware then use one of the threads in this section to update to kk.
Ok confused. Not sure how to install 4.3. Have read about bootloaders and modems needed before flashing. Guess I will have to keep reading. How to gy from 4.1.2 rooted, CWM, to the latest official which now I think is 4.3?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using XDA Free mobile app
You can either follow the OP through step 4, or flash the firmware from this thread using Odin. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2722660
After that you can follow the remaining steps in this OP, or try to get the official ota to update to 4.4.2.
Since you do not have the 4.3 bootloader, you could start fresh by installing stock 4.1.1 from sammobile.com using Odin and then just keep running OTA until you get to 4.4.2. Remember, using Odin will wipe everything on the phone so make sure you backup your important data.

Everytime I try to download something from Sammobile.com my AVG pops up a warning. Is this normal? I haven't yet made it through all of their stalls, installs, etc. to get to downloading the actually firmware.
Used to love AVG. But I think theyve gone downhill and this is a perfect example. Its a false positive. (Unless your browsers been hijacked or youre clicking on a bad/fake link).
Ive been using sammobile for years and never had a single problem.
I have been using sammobile for quite some time.
The site is legit. Maybe avg is causing the problem. I can download with no problem.
Not trying to be annoying, as I said haven't done any of this for a while but.....could I not flash a stock recovery, use triangle away, unroot, and then get the ota to work?

You could try that but there is no guarantee that it'll take the OTA update after going through the procedure you described.
If you removed too many Samsung Apps, that may cause the OTA update to fail as well.
Don't think I removed any Samsung or ATT apps I just had them disabled. Since I tried to run the update though they have all resurrected themselves. I have never flashed a stock recovery or unrooted before though

All I can say is try it and see what happens. If it doesn't work, the simplest would be to restore to completely stock and start the OTA update process.

I guess I can't read, but so far I have been unable to download the 4.1.1 from sammobile. I have gotten some media player, etc. which I don't know whether is still on my computer or not, but have not gotten to the download of the actual software.
Do I have to agree to everything that they try to get me to install?
You are probably hitting one of the ads that put up fake download buttons. Just a guess though.
It seems that registering helps
