As of the day I am posting this (May 28th, 2013) I have a software update available. I am on mc2 running the stock deodexed ma7 rom by t3project (sorry if I got the name wrong).
Should I go through with this software update or let it sit until I found out some more information? If I do go through with it there is no way of bricking my phone or anything if I am on a stock rom, correct?
Never software update while on any rooted rom, stock or not. It will most likelybrick your note. Your best bet is to see if your rom developer creates a new rom around this update. If not stay with what you have. There are Mods to disable software update notifications if you want them.

The mc2 deox would not boot even though I am on mc2, neither would the nowiz aosp or mundo hackz rom. It really ticked me off, until I found out ma7 roms work on mc2.
Accept the update. You will reboot into recovery. Then just reboot. It wont do anything and you wont get the notification anymore.

? Just being rooted will not stop the update. In fact most paths will let you take the update and brick your phone if you actually did things like removing system apps. Luckily thats usually a soft brick.
Are you on EL29, some other Gingerbread, one of the 4.0.3/4.0.4 leaks or FF18? There hasnt been a "New OTA" in a month. If your not on FF18 and you want FF18 just odin it.
Fh13 update possibly or just sending out ff18 again.? Hmmmm

it's FF18 update and im on el29. I read more about it and mentioned that adobe flash will not work on ICS build and seen battery drainage from users who updated their phones. I guess I'll wait till the patches roll out if needed. Also can't flash with clockwork recovery installed. It has to be stock recovery.

LOL Flash works fine on ICS, are you sure you were not reading about Jelly Bean? Which still works in just no new installs allowed.
Besides as of today Adobe is supposed to have pulled Flash for ALL phones on all android versions that dont already have it installed
http://www.engadget.com/2012/08/14/psa-adobe-halts-new-installs-of-flash-on-android-as-of-tomorrow/
You can flash FF18 OTA, in clockworkmod, or flash the tar in odin that we had 3 weeks prior to the OTA. I flashed a tar/one click earlier for testing and someone else flashed a zip for it in clockwork mod using a safe recovery.
Taking the OTA means you loose root anyways, not sure why people think they want the OTA. With no root exploit youd have to flash an prerooted one in odin.
I tried to flash it with the original update and looked like it was going to update but after the animation showing as a box with a arrow unpacking the update it threw me into the Android with the exclamation screen. Had to battery pull and safe to say that my phone is safe and not bricked.

Well once again its going to rape you of root and the only way to get root is the same way to get rooted FF18 from where you are. Mind you the update to FF18 is not without its issues. Swype for example you have to delete its data for it to work again. Best bet is to backup your stuff and wipe it.

LMAO!!!! so so so true...
Ive never ran across this problem before with the s2 or 3. Im on the stock injected firmware and want to be able to get updates without having to odin back to stock or flashing a different recovery. How would one go about this? Sorry for thread jacking but figured others will have this question. Thanks.

The previous answers cover it. I went back to stock on my S 3 for the last official ICS update, but was really a WOT. Don't have to ODIN back to stock unless you want to run on stock.
You would probably see an Odin update (which will install the firmware and and Modem when a simple ROM flash would not) pretty soon after it is OTA'd, and you could use this and not have to have the hassle of going back to stock to get it. If it is not a complete ROM, you will have to be sure you are already updated to the firmware that the OTA would be updating.

Run.. your phone may explode at any moment.
Worse case you will have to re root the phone. Not a biggy tho.. Rooting this thing is exceptionally easy.

That's your JB OTA. You can accept and it will install (if you have a stock recovery), or fail (if a custom recovery). If on stock recovery, you will loose root, but can just root again. If on custom recovery, nothing will happen, but you'll continue to receive the notification until you either have a build.prop that matches the latest base, or flash a ROM based on the latest base. Which is my recommendation. Browse the options available in the Android Development thread, choose one of the LJ7 ROMs, flash, and be happy!
ROM - Odexed Blue JB "Holy Grail" LJ7
Baseband - LJ7
Kernel - Stock LJ7

So i rooted my phone a few months back but im still stock, im on 4.0.4 and because if been rooted, i've skipped two updates. What can i do to make the update go through? i still wanna be stock but i know this update jellybean, which i want.
I've read having root blocks the update. There's a rooted version of the stock update in the dev section you can install.

So what's it called, I've been away from the scene for a long while.
All you need to do is download kies and under one of the menus is an option to emergency stock recovery this will take you to both the latest version and restore your phone to completely stock

Well, if you're feeling up to it, you could test it for the rest of us. No one seems to have reported back about anything yet. I'm sure that it will break root though.

i didnt go back and reread it but i think thats what garwynn tried and he lost root.
This is kinda required to get the OTA, isn't it?
If I understand correctly, the OTA will fail if rooted? Or is that it will fail if CWM/TW recovery is in place?

It will fail if you have cwm or twrp in place.....you need the stock recovery for it.....I think it will work even if you have root, but your root will be lost once you update

Thanks.. I thought it was one of those, just couldn't remember which. I may just hold off until I see what others are doing. I am going to look for a nice TouchWiz ROM that allows me to theme it.
Once the awesome Devs here at XDA get their hands on the code, it won't be long before we have a rootable Stock 4.3..
I've been wondering.
Do I need a stock recovery and a stock ROM to update or can I be running a custom ROM such as digiblur and update using stock recovery?

I'd just throw that under the "do not attempt" category. Odds are that while trying to apply the update, stock recovery would detect some assets that don't belong in your current build and abort the update. Also, if this update was successful and something messed up, you would now have no custom recovery. You would have to Odin back to whatever software version possible.
