So i have the new update available for verizon and im new to rooting. I just wanted to know if i update this will it get rid of my root? Or what will happen?
I've already started a thread on this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2928808

Hello, i'm new to this forum and must say that there is an incredible amount of information here. I rooted my Incredible a few weeks ago because I wanted to use wifi tethering. When the 2.2 OTA update started going out, I returned my phone to factory settings because I heard clockwork mod was messing with the update. I still have not recieved the 2.2 OTA, and i'm wondering if this is due to having build number 1.22.605.0 until today. I read in a thread that to do the manual method you need to update to 1.22.605.2.
Is there any difference between manually updating to 2.2 and recieving the OTA?
Now that i've updated my build to 1.22.605.2 should I just wait until I get the OTA?
Can anyone confirm Condition 7 in this thread working?: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=771178
If I only want wifi tethering, should I really root my phone?
The only thing I can answer is your last question. In order to use wifi tether(not Verizons version) you must be rooted.

If you only want wifi tethering - you do have another choice. Change the duns. So far I have not heard of anybody that has been caught doing that but it could be costly if the network provider figured it out,
I got my SG3 like two weeks ago, I rooted it, and today I get an OTA update being pushed.
Is this Jellybean or some other type of update?
my current android version is: 4.0.4
Baseband version; L710VPLG2
Anybody else getting this OTA?
It just happened today.

Now just a ics update most every one has. It's LG8 now instead of LG2.
Sent from Pluto.
If you're still running stock ROM it's likely LG8. Jellybean still hasn't been officially announced for our device yet.
Shiza! Got me excited for nothing...:cyclops:

Question: I am rooted and have CWM recovery. If I were to install this OTA what would happen? Lose root? Loose custom recovery?
how do I deal with the OTA
I am new this. Been rooted for a couple of months. Update popped up just like the other user. I know I cannot install with CWM and I am not currently interested with any roms, waiting for jelly bean. I have the same model and set up he does. I guess I need the L8.
Can i remove the pop up and just wait for a few more months?
Could that create performance issues?
I don't feel like updating and reinstalling everything if I don't have to. Thanks in advance.

OTA offered
My wife just got this update notification. No idea what version it is, but curious if it will break root. If so, anyone know if this version is also rootable?
Hello Guys
another question,i have E980 AT&T but if i returned to stock JB can i update to KK from the phone Software Update OTA? kindly dont answer if you are not sure
Still waiting...
I can't believe that there isn't anyone can answer this inquiry....
People aren't answering because you can find the answer by doing the search, consider these type of questions are discussed a year ago. Yes, you're safe to install through the OTA update as long you're not rooted while you're updating. If you're rooted while doing the OTA update, you will most likely end up with the bootloop.

first of all thanks for your reply, second thing, i know that im safe to do an upgrade through OTA and i know that for sure i dont have to be rooted, and my question is IF i went back to 4.1.2 (JB) can i upgrade officially OTA to KK 4.4.2 if i entered the (software update menu)?
I didn't say to be rooted, I meant it's unsafe to do an ota update if you were rooted. If you flashed the stock jb ROM, and wanted to update to stock kk using the ota, you're safe to do so as long you don't root before your update. Is that what you're asking?
Thanks again for responding, but in my question at the begining i didn't mention the root issue, and i know that u cant update ota if u r rooted, and what im.asking for is when i return to JB 4.1.2 and i want to have the official KK can i updated ota?
My E980 performed this update OTA some time ago. I purchased my E980 when it was ~1 year old from AT&T so it was $50. I suggest you check the AT&T support site to see fi you can update it via them if you step down to 4.1.2. The issue is that the update may no longer be pushed to your phone and you may be required to perform the update manually.
Hi all, just unrooted and took an Ota from 10g on my att lgg4. I was expecting to be on i, but I guess a new update was released that I didn't know about. Can I still root this with the normal method and if so does anyone have a rooted system image available to download?
Hey all. I am planning on returning my Note 7 after New Years. I have a rooted phone running package disabler pro and Titanium backup. I have the ota frozen but everyday I keep receiving the notification about the new update coming soon. Does this mean when its released I will automatically get it? Anyway to avoid it? Thanks!
