ATT G4 just updated without indication or asking for permission - G4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I had no indication about it an update being available, downloaded, nor did it ask before install. I just glanced at my screen and saw that it was in the middle of an update.
Anyone else see their phone suddenly update the software?

Okay, just saw this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/general/att-software-update-t3130718/page2
Sorry I didn't search better before I posted this thread.

Vodafone UK OTA - 2.33.161.2

Someone else has mentioned this on another forum, thought I'd give a heads up here
Anybody who knows what exactly changed with this OTA?
Think it's just smoother playback on 720p video from what someone on the Vodafone forum said...they never have change logs to updates so other than that no idea
should I
Think i will hold off i got stung by vodafone last time who filled my phone with there 360 crap
Confirmed on Vodafone website from others who've downloaded it that there is NO Vodafone gumpf so you're good to go
http://forum.vodafone.co.uk/topic/80416-2331612/page__gopid__515537&#entry515537
I got it just now and can't find any changes yet...
The update file is 30.8MB. It's a big file for not changing much.
would someone please root this one and make it with superuser and the usual stuff? interests me very much - thanks in advance
Why not just flash it and then root it again?
Does anyone knows what has exactly been changed???
Read the thread I posted up there...
"Hi Guys
I have got the HTC Desire, but haven't updated it yet, as I want to back up my information first.
The information that I have been given is that the improvement included an upgrade to Adobe Flash 10.1 for better video play, addition of Google security patches, the latest Gmail client, and a few bugs have been ironed out from the previous update.
I hope you all enjoyed the latest update.

Yeah I want to but I can't find the update??
I can't seem to update this. I get a signature verification error and failed install.
I've tried downloading a number of times.
Is this because I've rooted the phone?
TIA
Yes it is, you need to be unrooted. You can try turning off signature checking in Clockwork Mod but it might go a bit funny
How can I do this update? My phone is rooted. Do I just unroot, update, reroot? Thanks
You can't 'unroot' without wiping all data as you have to use an RUU. Fortunately there is this RUU now available in ROM Development so you can just flash it
Find it here:

How do I flash it, just run it? When I flash it what happens? Do I still have ClockWorkMod installed or do I have to reroot?

[Q] Google Wallet "Hardware Not Supported" Error After Zip to APK

Previously posted here but went unnoticed (with so many posts I didn't expect anyone to check regularly). I'm really sorry about this guys I know how much you hate people asking stupid questions but I really cant find the answer to this.
Hey everyone, hope someone can help me out, I've spent hours researching but this is one of those problems where I can't seem to find anyone with the same problem; basically I installed wallet using the old ZIP method, after removing it I found out I had to change files to be able to install the new APK method so I followed those instructions on this thread however I am not getting a weird error saying
"Hardware Not Supported"
"Sorry, this device is not yet supported. We are working too add support. Please check Market later for Updates."
Is anyone else having this problem or am I the only one?

EDIT: Just realized I posted this in the wrong place. Can Mod's move or delete this and I'll create another one in Q&A?
Should I just used the Zip method again, the main reason I wanted to switch is that I'm not sure if that method received updates.
I don't know if this helps however the VERY few (around 2-3 incidents) where I have seen this happen to other Gnex user's all had the LTE version however mine is GSM

how to root and 4.0.4 OTA update

Hi,
I just got the phone and have looked thru the forums and I have yet to find a definitive thread on how to root a ATT Samsung S3. Can someone point me in the right direction as the root hits I find all say my phone needs to be a I9300 and mine is a I747.
Also does anyone know what was fixed in the OTA updated that came out 4.0.4? Will this affect me being able to root the phone?
Thanks in advance...Todd

HEY!
Ok so im not completely sure which update 4.0.4 is but I think there has only been one so far right? the one that nerfs google search. Anyway, Here is a link to the guide that i used (after I did the update) and i followed the steps and the comment posted by danK in the comments. He said "If you’ve updated to newer software update, the stock OS will over-write ClockworkMod Recovery on reboot. To fix this, make sure “auto-reboot” is checked off in ODIN, then take the battery out when it’s done flashing in ODIN. Then enter ClockworkMod Recovery right away. " Doing this let me root my phone with zero issues.

(sorry it said i could not post links yet but this is the URL but without brackets)
Thanks for the link, that is only how to flash clockworks mods, how do you root the phone? Can anyone share that info?

Canada - Bell Firmware update

I wasn't sure if I should start a new thread on this but here goes....
I just updated my GS3 to 4.0.4 and I noticed for some reason that the amount of RAM has now decreased after the update. Is that normal? I am still unsure what this update was supposed to do, if anyone knows post it.
I am also unclear on how to go back to root after the update, with all the different versions in Canada and the US I dont want to try rooting without making sure its the right one.
If there is anything else someone would like to add just post away.
more ram was given to the GPU
This might be answered on another forum but to root my phone again would I do the same thing as before or will a different file be needed than the one I used before the update?

Temp root "sticking" question

Working off https://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4-verizon/general/easy-guide-how-to-root-verizon-galaxy-t3454593 thread, I have downgraded my stock N910VVRU2CPG2 firmware down to 5.1.1 BPA1 enclosed in the zip file.
I've read a lot of people have difficulty getting a successful root, both kingroot and kingOroot have "successfully rooted" my phone and its even is confirmed in Rootchecker but it will usually be two of the three stages complete and randomly one of the three not complete. All suggestions in the thread responses have not helped.
My question is do i need all three to be able to continue with the nfix file push? Can i get away with two of three if they are the right ones? I ask because like everyone else the temp root part is tricky for me but it does occasionally stick a root but always missing one stage. Sorry if repost, i've read the entire thread posted above and searched XDA to the best of my ability and fail to find a definitive answer to this.
Figured it out. It doesnt seem to matter if the stage 2 fails as long as it says its rooted i guess. Cheers!
