Hi all, my gf and I both received the update for v10p. She updated and I didn't because she is not root and the update aborted on me since I rooted mine with stump.
It just said value package update (156MB). Haven't seen any differences for now. Any one got it also? Is it rootable with the current methods?

Upgrade details
It's not rootable, don't take OTA's.
What is your previous version?
I'm using f460l and still on v10k.

I guess is a too new version to have root available yet?

Mine is still on 10J because I couldn't update due to being root.
My phone is still root after the v10P update (ota).
Unfreeze all bloatwares or system apps (if some are frozen).
If you don't have any result, you need to go back to stock, there's no other solution.
I uninstalled bloatware using titanium backup and converted Google search and play services to user app to fix the battery drain using greenify. Might this be the issue?
By the way, have you found any noticeable differences with the update?
Cheers
No, I just saw little changes about the Google Apps but nothing else (no more battery life or something)
A very minor update as I can see.

So I'm rooted, running the Rogers kernel and the AT&T rom. I've removed the bloatware myself. Today I was notified of an AT&T update. My phone will download it, but it fails to install.
Anybody else experiencing this?

Probably failing a check sum. I'm avoiding updates in case they update something that prevents me from rooting.
I am rooted as well, and don't want the update.
Is there a way to disable the update checking?
I am getting this prompt also, and I wish to disable it (until I know what the update will do)
EDIT: For now I just leave my WiFi disabled (as it will only update over WiFi)
I still want to disable the checking though
i just got the update and it now says android 2.3.6

I know that before updates install they check can check your phone and if packages have been removed, like you did, it can block the update. You may have to restore the packages that you removed before it will install.
This is the first phone I have rooted. I would like to know what the update changes, specifically if it fixes the Android OS high battery usage. Also if the update causes you to lose root or can be rooted after.

Got the update, and it is stuck at 74%. Has been for about 20 minutes. I'm not rooted. Think I should wait or pull the batt?
I've got the update downloaded and I'm rooted. Haven't installed the update yet, because I'm wondering if this will unroot my phone and bring back our friends from Carrier IQ…
Looking at the 2.3.6 changelog for a Galaxy S2 their update actually removed CarrierIQ

Same here. Rooted with Rogers kernel, AT&T ROM. Still failed the update even with the default launcher, USB Debugging set to off, and default packages (bloatware) intact. Is there a method to "unrooting" and restoring the default unrooted kernel/ROM? Would someone have had to backed up or dumped their ROM first somehow? (ODIN?)

No I'm not rooted,
Same thing. Rooted, was able to download update but will not install.
Update: Rooted, downloaded update, can't install.

Same here. Boots into software update mode. Fails. Restarts.
Girlfriends phone tried to update, I turned off Wifi, then went to Running Services, stopped "Device Management" from running, installed Autostarts, disable Device Management from starting, turned on Wifi, hasn't seemed to come back as of yet.
Rooted AT&T rom FYI

Exact same problem on my wife's phone...she got the update today....she is NOT rooted, and also got stuck at 74% during the update. Not sure whether to pull the battery or just wait longer?
Well, since nobody has been answering my questions about this update I figured no one knows so I went ahead and installed it. I'll take my turn at Guinea pig.
I rooted the phone previously with the guide here: http://www.theandroidsoul.com/root-captivate-glide-rogers-and-att/ , not the one on XDA. I have also removed the tetheringmanager package.
The update installed fine and I still have root. Version says 2.3.6. Don't know what it did.
Lookout labs Carrier IQ detector says I do not have CIQ
I installed this update it
Did work, I still have root it also did remove carrier IQ as mentioned, it did not hang for me. I checked to see if carrier IQ was removed with titanium backup, Android is now 2.3.6, and kernel is now 2.6.36.3 not sure what it was
Before base band is now i927uckl1 not sure if that changed either.
Hope this was of help

Last time I received a LG software update it finally installed by itself and soft bricked my phone. I was rooted unlocked running CWM. Now I am just rooted and received LG's software update and I can't get rid of it. Is there a way to remove this software update altogether and not have it return? I can just postpone it for four hours.... what can I do?
Thanks...
rename lg software update in system/apps
freeze it with tibu
unistall it using rom manager.
Since you are rooted there are plenty things you can do to remove it.
Although maybe (just maybe) you're the first to get the 4.2 update..

Will i brick it or all I'll need is to root again ?
You can try. Some people have reported success in updating the PC Suite software without loosing root. Worst case, you'll loose root and have to redo it.

(I have the international version of the G3.)

Some people get this errors. Like js931, I had no problems applying OTAs with root, I went from v10b to v10g without loosing root. Yesterday I applied v10j with a manual flash via kdz file, lost root but just re-rooted with purpledrake.

In that case, just do the Upgrade Repair Errors option in PC Suite. It'll flash the latest ROM for your IMEI, but you'll loose root. Just reroot afterwards.

v10b is indeed a battery drainer, and the phone was too hot doing nothing. v10g was better but kinda laggy. v10j seems to work great, its smoth, doesn't drain much battery and the heat is normal. For now is the best choice, the oly downside is that it comes with a lot of bloatware compared to my stock v10b that was pretty clean.

I did this and i was getting "update error" plaaplaaplaa.. Now my device is bricked. I tried what PC Suite said "Take off battery and put again and connect with usb" but always when i open device it's goes do "updating firmware" but it's isn't doing anything. I was with rooted v10g rom (international 16gb D855). Let's see what service shops says.
I havnt had any options to update my software come up on my G3 since owning it for a week, I see there was a update today but still no notification on my phone to update. Any other way I can get this update? Will plugging into a computer/pc suite update my phone? I need that improved battery life pronto! Thanks

That is the most recent update though isn't it?
It can't be cos this,phone has t been updated ever and a update came out today according to Google
V10j-505-02 is the latest from optus. Root shouldn't matter. I personally unfreeze the bloat and set the DPI back to 640 before updating. Not sure it's required though
I'm already on Android 4.4.2, and now there is a small firmware update available (little more than 100mb). I can't seem to find any info about what this is to decide whether or not to allow it. Does anyone know what this fixes or breaks? I'm in the US in case that matters.
Thanks.

Looks like it is a performance update.
Noticed a change to the look of the Google search bar on home screen and the icons in settings look different.
I'm also curious if I have a way of installing this without losing root?
I'm on the stock rom with stock recovery using SuperSU Pro.
If there's not a way to install this without losing root, or having to fully re-root (since it's not a major update) is there an easy way to get rid of the notifications for it? Thanks!
This is all I found.
"The new update fixed the System.UI crash when users were casting content to a Chromecast and pulled down the notification bar."

Whoa, I didn't even know it had that. Although, when I tried to install the update it got to 4% and then showed "Error".
Installed the firmware update. So far the bug with flickering video I had before is gone. I will let you know if the audio issue is resolved tomorrow.
