T-Mobile update notification not going away, but i'm rooted + custom ROM

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!

Upgrade
I'm on Bombraider by TricH and I have the notification for the update. What will happen if I run it?

Juggernaut v3.7 and Tmobile software update????
I am using Juggernaut v3.7 ROM, and my phone recently constantly show Message about upgrade the software from Tmobile. What should I do next? Flash stock rom 2.3.6 to get rid of Tmobile upgrade? and then can I flash Juggernaut v3.7 back to my phone?
Is there any way to disable (inside the code or build.prop file) the upgarde notification?

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

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

Thanks for posting this. I tried this method and it works great.

[Q] Question about updating while rooted

Since ATT claims that they will be doing an OTA update tomorrow I'm wondering what will happen to my rooted phone. Do I install the update? Will it try and automatically install the update itself? If it does what will happen to my phone. I'm currently on the latest version of Clean ROM. Thanks for all the help in advance!

I am kinda curious about this also. I am just rooted tho , with the exploit method. No custom roms or anything. I unchecked the options and rebooted to get phone state normal and then checked for updates , but didn't find anything.

I am also rooted and using CleanRom 3.5. I am sure the build date for the current CleanRom will be newer than the AT&T build date supposedly coming today. I guess I won't be updating since they are only adding multiview and I already have it via CleanRom. When the day comes that 4.1.2 is pushed out by AT&T and an update is needed, will I need to unroot my phone to get that update or is there another method?

If you have a custom recovery and things frozen or deleted with titanium backup you must undo all of that and get a stock recovery and then use ota root keeper to temporarily hide the root and you should be ok

Ahhh, Ok. Thanks!

I'm not sure why anyone would want to go back to stock if you have a custom rom already installed. Custom roms will always be a step or 2 ahead of the carrier releases. This current at&t update is only for multi window and whatever updates are released in the future are likely going to be available via custom roms long before the official carrier release anyway.

I was rooted, running CWM, and CleanROM 3.5. I went into recovery and flashed the stock rom and it automatically downloaded and installed the update even though i had a custom recovery. After the update was complete I lost root and had stock recovery. The official ATT 4.1.2 update is way slower than CleanROM 3.5 so Im rooting and flashing back. Also cant customize toggles like the international 4.1.2.

Interesting. I am running root stock with twrp. I removed root, but still have custom recovery (twrp). Flashing the update fails due to ro.secure==1 or something.
Did you do anything at all to prep for the update, maybe ta or hide root?

Well now you cant run an update with a custom recovery on board and since you started it there is prolly a file or the OTA server thinks you have it installed and is not offering it again.
Best thing to do on phones where you have custom recovery? Look here on the boards for the Stock ROIM of the version you want. If you wanted it un-rooted [no super user] then look in the returning to stock thread, if you want supersu (have your phone rooted) then look for a ROM of your choice based on the Android Version of your choice they range from hardly any changes [the ones that say only busybox and rooted are usually just stock ROM with just those 2 additions].
You want to use JB which Samsung has not even upgraded the T989 to yet [completely stable and I have been using it as my Daily Driver for month ].
First download ROM Manager from Market and have it flash CWM Recovery
Go to development section here and find the ParanoidAndroid thread and download the Nov 18 dated file and Gapps and flash those
Now you will have Android 4.1.2 - Jellybean! Enjoy

I have stock rooted 4.0.4 and it asked me to update. Do you think T-Mobile is releasing an update? Anyone else getting it?
I'd like to keep my wifi calling so i havent moved to a 4.1.2 rom.

I've been receiving an update as well. Problem is every time I go to update since my phone is rooted but running the stock rom, after i reboots to start the update it sends me to Clockwork Recovery...which actually brings me to ask my question here instead of starting a new thread. I really don't want to un-root since I make use of the cracked Google Play for a couple of my apps Do I really have to un-root just to receive T-Mobiles update?

[Q] getting new at&t update notification on my i317m

so, I have a canadian i317m im using on at&t. im running skynote 8.2 rom and after a reboot im getting a notification that tuere is an update for my phone from at&t. I postponed it for now. im guessing I should let it update since my i317m uses a different modem than the i317. so what are my options? about phone says I have a i317 as well but its from the rom im on as it doesnt say im using a 317m. thanks for any help.

I just received this update alert as well.

are you using a i317m (canadian) on at&t? and did you do the update? im holding off because I know it will flash a modem and we have different ones even though im on at&t.

It is a patch for the kernel exploit and it has a new modem... its 8.5 mb I think
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk 2

I figured it had a modem either way. sucks cause now we have to switch roms or go i317m stock until upadetes are out so we dont keep getting updates....or just delete the updater from the system using a root app like titanium backup (I use it to delete everything I dont want with a rom I flash) probly the easiest way right now if we dont wanna switch roms or chance an update bricking.

Do you have titanium backup pro? If not its definitely worth the few bucks to spring for it. Then instead of deleting the updater app you can freeze instead. That its still on your phone in case you ever need it for something yet it freezes it which will stop the the update pop up. I used to delete all my bloat ware to but then if a update comes like this one that is ota only all you need to do is unfreeze those apps and flash the stock recovery. Now if you want the update patch for the kernel without the modem you can find it here on xda and flash just the kernel. Thats what I did instead of fixing my phone back just for that small update. If you want the modem to you can also find it here on xda and flash it separately as I did. Its a way better modem than the first. My signal strength nearly doubled after I flashed it........

yes I have the pro key. I dont freeze apps though. rather free up space by deleting them all together and removing folders associated with it.

[Q] Switched Carriers Can I still Upgrade to Kit Kat 4.4.2 ?

Hello all, I recently switched from T-Mobile to AIO Wireless, Since the phone is an Original M919 can I still do the update to Kit Kat?
This phone has been unlocked, and I have rooted it currently using TWRP, but never installed any custom roms on it it still has the 4.3 on it
AIO Wireless uses AT&T Towers but they have a great deal $45 bucks per month for everything I was paying about 55 for T-Mobile getting only 500MB of Data with AIO i get 2.5 GB of data for 10 bucks less the service is really good hasn't failed me yet.
So that's my question Can I still Upgrade ? and will I loose everything? like TWRP etc... ?
sorry fro the noob question any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Louie

On the KitKat discussion thread, someone put a link to the update package. You can sideload it. Be warned, you will lose root.

To get the official OTA, you will have to go back to stock 4.3 and then upgrade from there. You will probably have to do a factory reset to bring it to official status after you unroot. It doesn't matter what carrier you are currently on.

Thanks I did a back up yesterday before I rooted the phone with Kies, I am looking at ABOUT PHONE and it still says 4.3 and Baseband M919UVUEMK2 isn't that stock ? I haven't put any Custom Roms on it just rooted, I will have to learn how to Unroot lol
Thanks for all your help

You won't need to factory reset. Mine was rooted and I figured it would be easier to use Odin to flash an official 4.3 back on. Did that and the phone was running just like yesterday but without root. So then I went ahead and did the upgrade via wifi. A day later and it's still running great. Never did a factory reset though. Now just patiently
waiting for more people saying they have rooted 4.4
