Holding on to the slim hope of perm root, I Odined the safe 0F1 two days ago. Today I'm getting notification of security policy updates. Any chance they could block rolling back?

For some reason on my Incredible 2 it will randomly uninstall a main app. 2 days ago it showed I no longer had gallery. And just now it shows I dont have messaging. Is there a fix or should I just take it into Verizon?
Mine does the same thing. I have a replacement coming from verizon.
Yeah they are sending me a new one too. Should be here on like monday.
Did you install the OTA 2.3 update? If so there is a known bug that causes the stock clock app to stop working, so it wouldn't surprise me other stock apps were flaky too.
It was a warranty replacement and it came with OTA GB unfortunately. Im hoping this one comes with Froyo.
I did do the update.
I have recently been getting notices to my Dinc about the update available for my phone. I have rooted my phone running 2.2 and have been very happy with how it works and the functionality I get from it...the only thing I dislike is that I can't do speech to text using my Bluetooth headset and I am able to deal with the poor battery life. If i update to this new 4.08.... will I lose my root control? I use my phone to tether my tablet and don't want to lose that...plus I don't want more bloat on my phone and don't really feel like trying to root my phone again if this update screws things up.
Is there a way I can prevent this update? What about stopping the reminder? Thanks in advance.
Anyone have a clue as to why a stock ROM GS3 (after the latest update) would be randomly shutting itself off? (Ithought this issue was to have been fixed in the latest ROM?)
I have LTE disabled, and only a few apps on there...

I had mine exchanged for this very reason, I was still in the trial period and received a new unit.
I'm having the same problem with mine every 3 days or so.. I also had the sms code 98.. But a simple phone call to sprint fixed that.. I should of said something about the restarts but I figured nothing would fix it besides an exchange which I plan on doing maybe next week..
Wait, so your saying this problem started happening AFTER you did the OTA LG8 Update...or its been happening since you purchased the phone? If its been happening since you purchased the phone, I would strongly advise exchanging it or wreaking hell on earth in a sprint store if they refuse. When you pay $500.00+ for a piece of hardware, there is absolutely no excuse for it not to work for years. I have not experienced this problem with my phone, however, I would strongly advise installing BlazerROM or StrongSteves Blue ROM. It could be that the OTA update you did was a bad flash. Find a stock tar around here, ODIN back to stock, and do the OTA updates again...or install a custom ROM like I advised earlier.
Yes, it started shutting down (not restarting) AFTER I did the OTA LG8 Update.
I spoke with Samsung last night and they offered to pay shipping both ways if I send it in to have it fixed.
Also, they suggested a hard reset, which I did, so I will see how it goes today.
I have only had the phone for two days so far...and I may have Sprint replace it if the issue persists.
So I realize this isn't on the cutting edge of development, but I come here for info from the experts, and I didn't see any info posted about this OTA push.
So I'm still running stock ROM, rooted for tethering with CWM recovery installed, and I was trying to find some feedback on this update that was pushed OTA. I see vassosman started a topic the other day, but it was quickly closed.
Let me say that I was HATING my phone because scrolling would hang the phone for minutes at random times in the day with random apps and it was maddening! Several times I had to stop myself from throwing it up against a wall.
This OTA update completely fixed it! No need to re-root it either. I love my GS2 again!
So if you were skeptical of the update (I was because one of the listed fixes was "security enhancements" which sometimes means unrooting) I can say that my experience was very positive. I'm sure I probably should have connected to Kies and installed this update long ago. Life happens. I'm behind. I'm posting for others that are behind as well.
Does the LI4 update provide even more worthy fixes? Will I have problems with CWM installed?

Nope, as you stated it mostly had security improvements, but I doubt it affected rooting methods. People have reported that the normal methods to root the old firmwares still work on this one. So overall it wouldn't harm CWM or TWRP while using it, though you have to obviously reflash it

Im on stock li4, rooted using supersu and twrp 2.4. The same old rooting methods apply, no rules changed. Happy flashing!

I figured I would just add my experience in this thread.
My wife's completely stock GS2 had OTA updated to LI4 2 days ago and last night the phone shut off while in the middle of a call and will not power back on. No odin, no recovery. Nothing. Had to warranty exchange.
It doesn't seem widespread as I have not seen this reported elsewhere, but my wife is a mild user and was only using the most basic of apps. I think she was using Google Talk and Messaging and the Phone app at the time.
Rooted an HTC droid incredible. Upon completion of root, notified of OTA. Modified build.prop to show phone was already updated. Ota notice went away. Now, hours later, the update notice came back. It also turned off WiFi, and asked for the timezone.
What did I miss
