Yes sir I have and I tried that on my wife's phone she got the update and then I tried to go to system the security and changed it but I still get the same msg. I ha Mt got the update yet but I also debloated mine so maybe I deleted sumthing to that effect. So I flashed her to cm10.2 and she doesn't like it. But she hasn't received the update either. So I guess I'll restore hers and tr tthat method again. Thanks tho I'll try again when I get off work

I also found this. I'm pretty sure it'll work with ZVB/ZVC. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2098477
I know when ZVB ota came out, if you had removed a lot of programs the update would fail and stop giving you the message. Just another option.

Has anyone installed the OTA AFTER rooting?

I just got the notification for it, but I don't want to risk anything. Is it good to go?
no, before this gets moved, not good to go. don't flash it. you will lose root
seems like you will lose the root...
but some have posted that even after the ota update... the current root process will still work.
Strange. Thanks, guys.
You'd loose your root.

I rooted did OTA and still seemed to have root access. Just re-rooted and it seems cool flashing stock rom in a second I guess to confirm
Ok I didnt flash a rom but it is letting me do data wipes and all other functions it seems cool!
Flipz confirmed my successful Re-root looks like OTA is safe!
I rooted mine BEFORE the OTA upgrade.. and it stayed rooted after.. -m
I'm not taking any chances. The other dev team is supposed to release their root and it may be more complete than what we have now. No reason to take a chance on an update that isn't totally critical.
I just tried it.. it appears to fail, reboots, and you're still on 1.32.651.1.

Let me correct this.. The OTA update did not work.. (I stayed at the old software version after trying to apply it.. but root stayed around..)
NOW has anyone managed to place the SD card fix on here manually?
-mark
Yes please. Just update.zip that goodness please. I am sure a complete SuperFresh Rom is on its way.
Well i guess I got this all backwards
I didnt know any better when I got the phone in the store, and I did the update...
then decided to root it.... did the process....
it worked.... but then I had the insufficient permissions on the SD card issue...
after reading a bunch of yea's and nay's on OTA update
I finally made the decision to just due the OTA update cuz I that SD card issue really bugged me...
I did the OTA update, the phone did this funny thing where its showing a green progress bar and then in the middle of it, a red question mark pops up as if it were saying " what the hell is this??" lol
it rebooted... and phone came back online, and now my SD card isnt having the same issue anymore...
UPDATE: Its back.... so now what do I do? Is there any way I can include all my info and settings and apps in a custom recovery cuz if i have to do this again im gonna freak. lol

your having the same problem as me... the update failed.. which is why were waiting on a way to manually apply the update.
OTA worked perfectly. And I get root access
I still haven't gotten the OTA...no matter how many times I manually "check now" in HTC Software Updates, it does not show up. I don't know why this is happening, it's very odd. I'm waiting for someone to cook the update into a custom, or rather stock, ROM. It's driving me insane at the moment, not to mention a bunch of apps are missing from the market (a whole other issue in it's own right). If anyone has an update.zip I can flash or a way to fix this, please please please let me know. Thanks.
I wasn't getting the OTA notification either until I enabled WiFi, then restarted the phone. Worked perfectly after that. Didn't even have to go to system updates.

Who is waiting for the OTA

Just curious how many of you are still waiting for the OTA vs upgrading vs kies?
I dont know why, I just have a preference to wait for the OTA to come.
Why? LoL!
10char!
I think only a few are left now.. I think weve covered them
ツ
Haha, I am weird just like you, I am waiting for the OTA as well.. My wife just got hers tonight... Boo
I got sick of waiting, updated via kies. Ugh, what a bloated mess.

Oh yeah... When I first got this phone, I was looking through it... I was absolutely amazed at how much bloat there was... I even think I have convinced my wife to let me root her phone just so she can get rid of all that bloat
Update with Kies mini
Hi can you please provide a step by step how you were able to get it through kies? Because I have kies mini up on my laptop and when connected, it says that I have to reconnect phone again. Can you please go through step by step how you were able to connect to receive the update? I hate waiting for the OTA. Thanks

I meant kies itself, but you're right.. the phone itself is bloated to hell.
And prince, go here and download the software. Install and make sure your phone is charged. Plug in with usb and you're good to go.
http://www.samsung.com/us/kies/
i got my phone last night and came straight home a updated through kies, it was easy. I was kinda on the fence about using kies because of all the vibrants it bricked back in the day. But it was easier than i thought, it took about 30 min due of my slow ass 3mb dsl.
Now can someone point me on how to root? Superoneclick isn't working anymore so can someone point me to the right thread? Thanks.
I finally broke down and tried to update through Kies... My computer shut down halfway through the process because of a stupid windows update.. Now it is stuck in 'Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies & try again.'
Kies won't recognize my phone, neither will Odin... Any ideas from you genius's out there?
EDIT: Nevermind, I only bought it 2 days ago, so I just exchanged the phone

No clue, I've gotten no OTA yet either
Nothing rom wise seems really exciting yet making me wants to root, I'd like to have that wifi calling though
I got my notice for an ota update yesterday, but I was rooted and it wouldn't install.
so I installed the update via kies and rerooted. worked great.
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA App
I just got three of these phones for my family, and they all updated different times within a couple of days within each other.
Do the OTAs come throughout the day or are they released at one given time to the random recipients, say 7AM for all those scheduled to get it?
Also do I have to check via settings if the firmware is available or does it just pop up on the phone?
Thanks
Still waiting. This stinks....
Anyone else care to chime in if they are still waiting??

[Q] Problem with updating to 4.2

Hello there, I have a problem.
I have Samsung Galaxy Nexus, Takju, build JZO54K, version 4.1.2
I'm in Slovakia, O2 provider (don't know if that helps)
Today(November 19) I've got notification that I can update to 4.2 (same thing happened four days ago(November 15)), so I started updating.
I saw the icon of Android guy, with some blue wires or something. Than the icon changed, the Android guy was lying and there was red triangle with exclamation mark in it.
Did it happen to anyone else? Is there some problem with my phone or should I just wait and the update will eventually arrive?
Sorry for my english, and thank you for your help
problem updating to 4.2
Are you rooted?

No. I would like to be updated automatically, I don't want to make it manually if I don't have to. Because I would screw it up.
4.2 Update issue
It could be that the phone isnt accepting the phone over the OTA (OVER THE AIR) ive seen this issue before on android phone usually if it wont take it OTA the only other way flash it manually . you dont necessary have to root phone you can always look for the OTA UNROOTED Image which you can flash through fastboot

Try this.....boot the phone and go to settings >>>apps>>>all>>>>Google frameworks service>>>>>clear the cache AND THEN the data in that order....when you go back to check on the update it'll say last checked 12/31/69 you want to see that and then search for the update....that clears framework and helps pull the update to your device....I've used this method and it worked for me with ICS after 3-4 tries give it a go and let us know what happens

doing the same thing right now. i'm in germany so i'm not sure if that's what's causing the slow download speed 500Mbps link @ a convention center, but i'm at 416MB out of 617MB and very very very patiently waiting.

First post here as well. I was rooted on stock, and this flashed flawlessly. Not 1 problem. Thanks!
ran the update, installed cwm and the phone works flawlessly minus one issue. gaming has become laggy. anyone else with studder or lag issues?
Aww man. It figures, I just finished flashing another rom like, about 18 hours ago. Now with finals coming up, I don't have time to do this one! Oh well, I guess I have something to do AFTER finals then, hahaha.

Is your power saving mode on? I've always found it makes so many things laggy, unfortunately. Might be enabled by default on the rom. Worth a look.
Great community here. Yesterday I was non-rooted ICS. Today I'm rooted JB with Wallet.
My phone just got 1000% better.
First of all, I appreciate all the Devs hard work bringing these Roms to us! :good:
I was running rooted UCALH9. Updated to this JB via Odin and all SEEMED good. Problems I had:
1) Play Store FC's - FIX - I went into Application Manager and removed updates for the Play Store app, which reverted it back to the default Play Store app. This fixed my problem. MAKE SURE YOU DO NOT UNINSTALL!
2) Rom Manager - I would get root user authentication error when trying to Fix Permissions. Everything else in Rom Manager worked. No fix at this time.
3) Gallery - None of my pictures were showing up. This is even after clearing caches. I am convinced it's because I can't Fix Permissions, but what do I know... No fix at this time.
Any help would be appreciated!
Damn I had that same Play Store FC problem yesterday -- I wish I'd have figured that out. I ended up doing factory reset lol.
I receive same fix permission error as you, but I rebooted into recovery to do it.

You didn't happen to play with the camera at all, did you?
I can live with the Fix Permissions via CMW, so that would clear up 2 out of 3 of my problems. All I need is a fix for the Gallery problem, and I can go back to Official JB.
Thanks!
Howl long was the flash?
I'm inside Odin on flashing system.img.ext4 right now and it stays there which looks like about 20% for last 10 minutes with no forward movement.
How long do I need to wait before I consider something is wrong with flash process?
Changing cable to Samsung one did the trick if you are in the same situation.

If you are talking about flashing the root injected JB i post, yes you can flash it after upgrading and no it won't wipe anything in data, everything should be preserved for you.
Weather here sux.... Hovering slightly above 0 degrees with 80 mph winds for the last week so add on the wind chill factor and u can only imagine... And no snow yet.
So far no other issues with this rom. Seems to run perfectly. Now just waiting for someone to write a power menu options and enable stock tethering script =P

note 3 running 4.4.4 issues

ok guys, i have a question for you. keep in mind that im new to the phone world lol. ok so a bout a month ago i wanted to unroot my phone but for some reason the tar files on sammobile wasnt working right. so i came on here and downloaded what i believed to be the file that i needed to go back to stock. after i used odin and the phone rebooted it automatically notified me that i had a update. after i accepted the update and it rebooted, it again notified me that i have yet another update. so after this happened i noticed that my phone was updated to 4.4.4 kitkat which would be great exept for the fact that it keeps freezing and when i am on wifi i have a problem getting phone calls aswell as text messages. also when i disconnect from wifi i have to restart the phone to get any data back. is there anything that i can do? is it possible to go back to 4.3 or even 4.2.2? any help would be very much appreciated.

Hello! Did you make a back up of your phone before you started the update? That would be the easiest way to go back to how it was. If you used Odin and didn't install a recovery like TWRP or Clockwork you may not have done so. I believe you can reload from Odin with an older ROM it will just erase everything you did. There are stock ROMS here at XDA and galaxynote3root.com as well. Let me know it this helps, sorry for your troubles.

I'm actually surprised that you did get an update to 4.4.4... You could try going back to NF9. The safest route I see that you can take is to install a custom recovery and make a backup before doing this. If you odin NF9 and it doesn't boot then you're kinda screwed because we technically don't have the 4.4.4 update yet, so if anything goes wrong, you can install a recovery again and restore the 4.4.4 backup.

I'm actually surprised that you did get an update to 4.4.4... You could try going back to NF9. The safest route I see that you can take is to install a custom recovery and make a backup before doing this.

You can get the latest TWRP recovery here : http://www.techerrata.com/file/twrp2/hltetmo/openrecovery-twrp-2.8.1.0-hltetmo-4.4.img.tar
Just odin that and after it's done, go into recovery by doing Vol down + Home and do a backup either in your internal or external storage. After that finishes, you can go back in download mode and odin NF9.
ok thanks for all you help man,
