Hi there,
earlier today I got a strange download which started by itself named
tg_endeavoru-ota-eng.adrian001.zip
size is 140MB and it comes apparently from this website:
http://android.eqmx.net/endeavoru/
Of course, I did not install it as the whole lot feels dodgy...
Anyone else got it? Can someone shed some light into it?
Thanxs
Do you have full stock system?

Ota means "over the air".
Manufacturers use it to provide updates to your phone without you needing to connect your phone to a computer and run an update file on your Computer to update your phone's firmware.
That file looks like it is an update. Can someone with more android knowledge confirm this?
You should try moving this to the HTC One X Q&A section of the forums.
Thanks for your reply,
I am on InsertCoin 7.3.0 and O2 Germany network, so I thought one shouldn't get OTAs, right?
And I never received an OTA, and this one just downloaded itself.

Sorry if I posted this in the wrong forum.
And if so, how can it get moved?
As I understand it: some of the custom ROMs still can download OTA updates.
How ever, by installing it, your phone may revert back to an unrooted/stock state.

It's a build from tgascoine's Jelly Bean source, as linked to in this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=28752923&postcount=181 (from this thread).
You've probably accidentally hit the URL while scrolling through the thread and it's started downloading; there's no physical way for this to have made its way to your device without you initiating a download. Nothing to worry about, but it's definitely not an OTA update for the ROM you're using, so if you're not intending to try out an experimental 4.1.1 AOSP build you can just delete it.
Do a nandroid backup install and see?

Thanks for clearing that up!

Started getting OTA notifications this morning. Rebooted into recovery and the notifications went away. Still on LG8. Am I missing anything substantial on LI3? Should I just wait for the official JB update? Thanks in advance.
Official JB release has yet to be officially announced with a date. So, I suggest you go ahead and update. At least you'll stop getting the notifications if you do.

Thanks for the reply, Naddict. Couple of questions:
-In order to update to LI3, is it as simple as going through the "System Update" utility in the settings?
-Is it safe to assume that once I update to LI3, I'll lose root?
-If so, how do I go about gaining root again? (It's been a while since I first rooted, so I'm unsure of the methods.)

yes you must be stock and have stock revocery and it will update no problem and yes you will lose root unless you use app like ota rootkeeper or just re root like you did the first time look at qbking77 video

Your thread is relevant to my question, so I'm hoping someone can help me, as well.
I'm new to android, and I've found that every time there is an OTA update, I cannot find ANY information on it. I received a notification to update today, as well, yet it doesn't tell me what changes will be made or what is being updated. Is this normal for android? I'm not exactly sure where to look for this information, since hitting "more info" tells me nothing.
Not trying to invade on your post, but I'm thinking you might know the answer to this.
Thanks!

OTA's are manufacturer specific. Sprint does provide information as to what the updates do for you. Just use the Internet machine and go to Sprint's website...

Hi Naddict. Thanks for humoring my "Hi. I'm super new and have stupid questions" status.
My "internet machine" (awesome) must be limited to banning all updated information. On the sprint blog for S3 updates the latest one is from 9/19 and I don't see any relevant information regarding an update from today. That's where my confusion lies.
My main issue is that I don't even know what to search for, as I don't receive any information regarding the update number/title/etc.
A popup just asking me to install a "system update" doesn't really do much for me. I'll keep looking. :good:
Take care,
Mike

Well now I'm just lost.
I used Mobile ODIN to flash a stock recovery, then I tried to flash an LG8-L13 .zip I found on another forum. I got an installation error. I went back to CWM and tried the flash the update, same error. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. Is there a file, or at least a link to an update .zip that works in CWM?
Edit: Just found and flashed two files through CWM. So far so good.
Here's the Link for the update:

No matter what Android version this phone gets updated to, unless the bootloader is locked and no longer allows us to flash custom recoveries, root methods will continue to work.
We don't need to look for exploits in order to root the GS3.
Cmon dude, you shouldve searched because this is probably the 4th / 5th thread asking this
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2169599
If you're rooted, you can just flash a 4.1.2 rom and update your modem to the 4.1.2 modem by grabbing it from freezas stock rom thread, thats pretty essentially all that changed

I did search and I came across this thread already (as well as a few others). However all were posted before the 4.1.2 update was released OTA so I was not sure. I had a few android devices before and each needed an exploit or tool that varied based on what Android version you had (i.e-unrevoked for evo4g on 2.3.4 that did not work on 2.3.5). My GS3 is still unrooted so I can't just flash the rom. I was asking if I can still root using the posted method on 4.1.2 since I did not come across any posts with that question and this is the first device I have had that does not require an OS based exploit to root it.

Ok ok, wasn't trying to come off in the way you interpreted it. But now you know, and Samsung devices in general are super easy to root
And also, the MB1 update that they talk about in that thread is the latest 4.1.2 OTA, so idk what you're talking about
Updates are referenced by the build number, hence LJ7 being 4.1.1, MA6 was the first 4.1.2, and MB1 was the second 4.1.2 OTA
yes it works
i can confirm for you that yes it works. i did it today.
I JUST got this update too
Thanks a lot. Sorry it took me so long to reply

Yes. My M919V from Wind (using it on Virgin) got an update this morning. MDC to MDJ now. The firmwares posted on samfirmware are the newer ones that includes today's 18 Mb update.
I didn't notice any difference as of yet. The description only read "Stability Improvements".
Me too I got update on videtron .
Guys now that you have open this topic it will nice to have real guide for our version for Rooting andvalso listing whic recovery and Rom work on Videtron / wind version.

Is there any root for our version?
I had my S4 crash on me once so I'm assuming the update fixed that. I'm not sure what caused the crash but it reminded me of the crashes I'd get with AOSP roms on my S3 which shocked me. So far no crash though. TBF, I think that the roots for the TMO work for us as well, however I haven't tried yet either as I'm also waiting for confirmation hehe. :good:
BTW has anyone gotten the unlock for the M919's to work on M919V's? When I dial the code in, it doesnt want to accept it.

I suppose I'll get things rolling a little bit.
1) Root
The motochopper method works. Tested it myself. Even on the newest M919VVLUAMDJ.

2) Sim Unlock
Again tested by me, works flawlessly even after flashing stock rom again.

3) Recovery
Not tested by me, but others have had success installing TWRP.

4) Stock
I flashed stock ROM with Odin after rooting to return back to stock. Everything is just how it is supposed to be.
Let's get going!
Thanks dj_aj, for root we don't need to go back to old firmware ?
I can confirmed I followed yesterday the method posted in the main Galaxy S4 Genreal forum(not T-mobile one) by looking at your links it look like same steps, and my videotron is unlocked I tried Telus sim of a friend it is working http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2282683
For me the only important reason why I want to root and install a custom ROM is to have Pdroid as Apps now days ask for crazy permissions and I want to block that. Is there any Stock Base ROM that include Pdroid or OpenPdroid ? Because otherwise my phone is ultra fast and smooth no need of crazy flashing like I use to do before with my LG lol

Open the phone dialer and press *#2263#.
Then select LTE Band Preference & then LTE All. This will force your phone to only connect to LTE.
To revert back chose Automatic from the service mode.

No that is not necessary. The new firmware is still rootable with motochopper.
Ever since I installed the firmaware update 2 days ago my batter life has tanked. Anyone else having this problem? (noob warning) Is it possible to revert to the previous version (non-rooted device)?

Could you elaborate on how much the battery life has really tanked? Is it down to just a few hours? And how less is it compared to the previous times?
I ask only because even though I initially thought that my battery was draining much quickly on this new firmware, it isn't really so. I'm getting about the same battery life.
Also, at this moment there is no way to downgrade to the previous firmware. The reason being the only stock firmware available to be flashed is the latest one.

You are welcome and no, I did not install any ROMs or custom recoveries. I like the stock touchwiz roms and generally only root to get rid of bloatware & do some minor tweaks.
I assume that all custom roms for the t-mobile sgh-m919 should work on our sgh-m919v variants. But, I have no expertise in this area & if anybody knows more can correct me.
I've updated the main post with links people have posted on here just for good reference. I hope that's okay with the original posters.
Just to confirm that i just rooted my videotron S4 with the link in OP . No need to roll back firmware worked perfectly with latest . Dont forget to turn on unlocked screen as you will be asked to allow root on your phone.

So I dont think its the firmware. Forgive the noobiness. Here's what happened: for two weeks since I bought the phone I have been following the same usage pattern every weekday - full charge with phone off at night, turn on at 8am, an hour of radio streaming and some browsing, gmail syncing sms and sporadic short browsing, repeat hour of streaming/browsing on commute home, some browsing on wifi in the evening. I have all smart features disabled and only syncing my gmail and calendar all in the effort to conserve bbattery.NEway this process would take my battery to about 20% by 11pm. Then last week for 2 consecutive days my battery life plummeted during the day to the point where it was 100% drained by 6pm. I didnt consider whether I had done anything differently on those days but now I know. I tried to send pictures through gmail over the network. With each pic weighing I at approx 3mb gmail was working to send them for hours while draining my battery. It just so happened that this took plafe the day after I installed the upgrade. Lesson here for me is wait for wifi to email pics taken by the fantastic camera on this phone.e
Hi,
I just rooted my tmo s4 on my mac using the motochopper. The phone keeps annoying me to update to the UVM update. Is it safe to update to this after rooting, or will i lost the root? Also, how can i disable this update notification? it keeps popping up on my screen
It won't let you update if you're rooted. You can delay the update message at least for a while by saying "remind me in 30 Days" or something similar.
I'd be tempted to flash a custom rom. Then the message would already be blocked

The best way to eliminate the update notification is to flash the best custom rom you can find.
Once you have done that there will be no more notifications about updating the firmware and
you will be able to enjoy all the benefits of having and using a custom rom.
The best & most professional custom rom currently available is the Wicked v3 MDL Samsung Touchwiz 4.2.2 based custom rom.
