I was on 4.2.2 rooted 6506 and tried to do the rogers 4.3 upgrade through ota and it downloaded the file rebooted and began to install and then failed. Any others having this problem. If so did u resolve and how? I want to use the ota method because supposedly it preserves root.

Are you kidding me, are you saying that Rogers released through OTA their modified C6506 4.3 firmware before Sony even pushed out the generic 4.3 via PC Companion for the C6506 model.
THIS REALLY BLOWS MY MIND....having a little trouble believing it

Not sure about companion because I want the ota update this time, but at 730 est I downloaded it, the update failed. Ten redownloaded it it failed again. It was firmware version 569.

Wow, impressive. Carriers are usually slow to release updates. I'm still going to wait for the generic 4.3 update from Sony. I really don't like the bloat-ware Rogers installs. I believe root will be able to be obtained with Nut's DualRecovery method just like the tablet Xperia Z.
Your way to preserve root is a 50/50 chance. It worked on previous firmwares but since your system files have been modified, it may be the reason why the update gets interrupted.
To root the tablet Xperia Z from 4.1.2 to 4.2.2 was via OTA just like you are trying to do (survival mode) but I don't think it works anymore on 4.3
Good Luck!!
Survival mode in SuperSU worked for me when going to 4.4.2 from 4.4 stock on my N7.
Not sure about 4.3.
I am now on a rooted generic US rom and on a Rogers ZL and I'm still waiting. Hard to believe Rogers released anything at all...

There is an option if you unlock superSU pro (you can unlock the app from the playstore for free). You tick it and system tries to preserve root after an OTA update. Didn't worked for everyone but oh well, Nexus 7 is so easy to root anyway! ?

Sony Canada just posted up on FB that they have 4.3 on PCC.
I tried it with my ZL c6505 but no update popped up.
I just checked on PCC and it is still telling me I have the latest firmware. I'll keep checking throughout the day.
Fingers crossed!
I got my 4.3 last night and it came through the air without PCC
Wow shocking for rogers. They usually suck I'm in rogers and I hate them but good to see updates.coming.fast for once

Has anyone been able to update a Rogers ZL to 4.3 and either keep root, or get root
(with the NOT-unlockable boot loader).
I have been seeing the OTA alert for a week now, but I don't want ot risk loosing Titanium and Xpose Framwork.
Thanks,

Like in my question. Is there OTA update for UK generic or I'll just have to wait till it's released? My 2.3.3 phone is rooted and I don't want to lose it when updating via SEUS.
I'm on UK generic and no ota update for me yet
I flashed back to 2.3.2 and only get the first update not the 4.0 fw
Only a matter of time though I guess
Got it in Canada yesterday
Just got it for UK generic. Downloading it as I type.
Me too, patiently waits for the OTA update here, good thing they already released it yesterday.. I'm using UK generic too. TS, the availability of the OTA update depends on your place.
can someone confirm OTA update is available for the uk ?, i updated via pc companion and lost root but so I am waiting for OTA to become available
cheers
does root work if you OTA from 2.3.2 to the 2.3.3 (xloud frimware) ?

Yes i received the xloud update (4.0.a) last night over ota and root is still kept. Uk r800i.
If you flash 2.3.2 again then root and ota it will update you to the xloud firmware with root.
1 question do i have to unfreeze all bloatware before i can perform OTA for the new firmware 4.0?
Thanks
Yes you do or else the update will think you have uninstalled them. Just make a list of what you have frozen. Unfreeze > ota to 4.0.a then refreeze whats on your list plus a few other new things.
I just received the upgrade via OTA i guess is to 4.0 since i already have 2.3.3 and the size is 78 mb. I downloaded it correctly, it try to update but after 3 reboots (normal reboots the phone does it itself) it says that could not update, does anyone nows why? I have a rooted Xperia Play and it isnt unlocked.
PD. Everything seems okay it didnt mess up anything, just didnt update correctly.

I am curious if I will receive the new S3 update, as I am rooted on stock rom. I have not received any update notifications yet, but I know other people that have. Pressing "software update" in settings just waits saying "Checking for software updates". What do I need to do to get the update?

If you are rooted, my guess is that you most likely tripped the modified counter. By default if you are not using a work around, Samsung has certain methods in place that detect when you modifiy your phone or boot loader. Once tripped, you will most likely not get any ota updates. To check, first ensure that you dont have a yellow exclamation mark while your phone is booting, second, go to settings about phone and there is a string that she either read normal or modified. If you are rooted though, why dont you just flash one of the new roms with android 4.1.2? That is the update.

Forget waiting for the OTA update, why not download the full Samsung T999 S3 stock-rooted
deoxidized firmware and flash your phone with it. Since your phone is already rooted, it's easy.
Good Luck!

Yes, it appears I am modified. I used triangle away in the past. I havn't done any phone mods in a long time, and I basically have root for apps requiring SU. I did not want to have to break out the USB cable and download a 700MB file if I could just run the update tool (call me lazy).

Right, I went ahead and updated using cwm and the stock rom and am now on 4.1.2. Flashing was just scary to me when I havnt done it in a very long time
If you wish to do it the easy way I'd say TWRP it. But another way is Odin back to complete stock UVDLJC so that your status is normal and not modified. I'm pretty sure TriangleAway doesn't need to be used to reset your binary for an OTA. Just the ROM itself can't be detected as modified for the OTA to work.

There's a new OTA update available for the Galaxy S4 SGH-M919V variant from Wind Mobile, Eastlink, Videotron in Canada.
This is the update that finally brings the much awaited Apps2SD feature to our phones. It also includes the following enhancements:
- Some new icons in the settings
- Additional 'Smart Pause' button in quick settings
- Stability improvements
- Upgrades the camera firmware.
- Storage shown as 16GB now, but 6.38 GB is occupied by System memory under 'Misc'.
Firmware version: M919VVLUAMG1
So its official. TMo is the last carrier on Earth to get this update.

The OTA will fail to update if you're rooted.
I had to Odin back to stock and then apply the OTA update.
So yes, the update will break root.
I haven't tried to root it since, so I can't report any progress there.

It failed because it said your device is modified and prevent you from updating or it failed in the middle of updating?
tmobile needs to speed up this apps to sd update.....
I love how they are trying to hide the space the system uses under miscellaneous. This might trick people into not complaining about having more available disk space. I've heard good things about this update... Just want it already.
Still lovin' Tmo more than Sprint!!! 15-26mb beats 100k all day long. And I enjoy being able turn the camera sound off without rooting.

T-Mobile is usually quick to send out updates, I wonder why it's taking them long to release this one? The S3 got the JB update pretty quick if I'm not mistaken.

you can blame me for the update not being released and it wont be released for months, according to my sources. I talked to t mobile about all the bugs they have, so they said fine, we will do everything never to give bugs again, hence a long update period...It was probably my phone calls that lead to this wait

You son of a ..... ;__; :crying:
I realize it's always an agonizing wait to get your hands on the newest firmware. However, there's a bright side to it. You all are still able to root and tinker with your devices.
I haven't been able to root the newest firmware using motochopper and am hesitant to try CF-Autoroot because in the case it does trip the flash counter and I loose root, I won't be able to reset it.
So, by the time tmobile sends out the update, there hopefully is a way to root.

Next time if your already rooted you can grab the app voodoo OTA Rootkeeper, which should be able to protect and reapply root after an update.

Thanks for that tip. However, I doubt it would've worked because since I was rooted, the update failed to complete installing around 25%. So, I had to odin back to stock and then apply the OTA. Probably something to do with a locked bootloader.

Yeah, the phone status was 'Official'. You'd have to be in order to get OTA updates/notifications.
Initially upon rooting, the status changed to 'Custom', But I followed the guide below to revert it to 'Official' while retaining root.

Hi guys,
I am new to android coming from apple. I am looking to update my xperia zl 4.1.2 build number 10.1.a.1.395 to android 4.2. I have never flashed the phone before but i do however rooted my phone using i believe doomlords mod. I have also an issue with the in ear peice when calling i notice the volume is extremely low when i am making calls. If someone would let me know the steps to fix this issue and the update that would be great. As far as i know i need flashtools and the 4.2 android update? Just want to know which update i would need. My phone is originally a rogers xperia zl but its been unlocked to use any carrier. The bootloader is also locked on this phone.
Thank!
Update your phone over the air. (settings, about phone, software update) and use doomlords tool to root again.

Trying to get the update from OTA wont work in your case since you have never flashed the phone and are probably on the stock Roger's firmware meaning you wont see an update available until Rogers pushes their 4.2.2 update with their own bloatware which may take a while.
Just flash the latest FTF firmware C6506_10.3.A.0.423_Unbranded.ftf (stock Sony firmware) found on here on XDA and flash it with Flashtool. Then use doomlord's method to gain root. Very easy stuff... Dont wait for Rogers to update unless you want to wait forever... Carriers are usually slow to update their stuff.
I'm new to android. I can't figure out why my phone will not OTA update. I'm on 4.1.2 I thought that I had the Sep. 4.1.2 update, but I don't and found that out when I was trying to update to the 4.3 that I've been waiting for. I'm still on version (I317UCAMC3) not (H3) which it says you need for the 4.3 update.
Every time I try to OTA update I get Software Update Interrupted, I think I've also gotten "your software is up to date"? I've also tried the Kies firmware and it says that my version is not supported to update via kies? I got the phone off eBay supposedly new and unlocked, but it's Att branded. Would being unlocked stop an update?

OTA = BAD. Wait and get one that is knox free as well.
It's not the unlocked part blocking the update. If the updated senses that the current version is not 100% stock, then it won't update. If the recovery is not 100% stock (I'm not 100% about this though), it won't update.
But you will end up in the long run being better off flashing either 4.4 (which ever cooked ROM you choose,) or waiting for the fabulous dev's here in XDA land to cook up the 4.3 version knox free, and rooted out of the box.
As far as I know the phone is stock so I still don't understand why the update won't go through. I downloaded a root checker to see if my phone was rooted and it says that it is not. since I can't figure out why the phone won't update I guess I should just root and install a rom.
Usually a custom recovery stops an official update.

I was told unless you have ***mh3, it will not update to 4.3 via OTA.
I have same issue, I have UCAMA3 and it won't do.
It seems it doesn't even have to be stock for someone I work with had **MH3 rooted and all and it updated to 4.3 OTA.
Maybe someone will be able to put out rooted stock one in the future.
my phone wont update either
I am having a similiar issue with my phone, it is rooted and will not update. I have Android version 4.1.2 Baseband version I317UCAMH3 Build JZO54k.. and I have twrp recovery. Does anyone know what I can do to receive the update? Do I have to unroot in order to receive the update? and if so can someone direct me on how to do that? Or is it better to just flash a custom rom and if so would someone be able to direct me to where I can find the instructions to do that. Thank you so much! I have flashed roms in the past but its been a while...
