The leaked ODIN package is 2.3.6. But numerous news said the update is 2.3.5. People have been having doubts whether the ODIN package is "official" or not.
So whoever updated through the "official" channels (Kies, OTA), could you please confirm whether you got a 2.3.5 or 2.3.6?
I updated through Kies.
I updated through odin. Its official as it gets.

So now Im wondering if those that got the OTA are on 2.3.5? How could it be possible that there are 2 different updates?
I got it OTA and it's 2.3.6

Doesn't surprise me..
Everytime I go into my local T-Mo store, I always end up educating them on a thing or two
It's pretty funny actually. They always look at me like I'm some super-geek freak of nature
Come to my store lol

Kies Update lost Root
Called TMobile and they sent me an update Kies file to install on my PC to have wifi calling enabled. They turned it on at their servers, so I would be enabled, but I told them I was not running stock rom so they sent an update. Installed the update. PC ran and said new firmware upgrade for my phone. It stated Ver 11.12.16.02 during the install.
Anyways, I now have the WiFi calling familiar icon top left notification area, but root is lost. Just want to know if anyone else has the WiFi calling enabled or not without issues. This is or was on Juggernaut 3.7. Can't boot to recovery now. I will wait to hear back from others.
You are brave for tellig them you rooted your phobe. Yes it removes root and gives you stock recovery. Youll have to reroot and install custom recovery again.

I just finished setting up my phone just right and now this update comes along. Used titanium BU to freeze device manager to stop the update. I used to have wifi calling on my Nexus 1 but I never used it. Is there any other reason why I shouldn't skip this update?

The new baseband does improve my data speed, before 8- 10 mbps, now 15 - 18 mbps. Home button responses quicker, no more accidentally launch voice search. Overall the ROM is more snappy than before. I still try to see if improve the battery life.

Is there anyway to update without losing root? Can the 2.3.6 ota update still be routed?

Too many users worry they will not have any support if their phones are rooted. I have a rooted Nexus one. It had bad hardware Nand. Bad memory blocks in my system and Data and cache partitions. I sent it back rooted, but with stock ROM stuff, to HTC. HTC RMA's my rooted phone. They have to show cause and effect that rooting did any damage etc. TMobile techs were nice. They were happy to send me the info to grab this stuff manually. And by stating I was rooted, that pushed me up the chain to higher level tech support instead of dealing with robots reading scripts, telling you to reboot your phone, or to try such and such etc.

I actually had 18.2 with Speedtest this morning using Beastmod 4.1, before I ran into my manually upgrading the firmware and losing root. All is fine now with a 5 minute re-root process using Odin and PDA option with CWM. Not a big deal but yes, using those XDA individual files could have save me some grief on this
So depending on how good of a signal you have, and the ROM itself, I did show fantastic PRE-Updateing the firmware. These were consistent 15.5-18.2 reading BTW, here in Downtown Las Vegas this morning. Not just a one time anomaly.
2.3.6 via kies working well.
I keep seeing that an ota came out, but I can't seem to get it, I keep checking update and firmware to no avail.
it's there an issue with my phone or does it take time for it to travel through the county?
I'm rooted with the original root method (the very first method) could this be hosting back my update? I haven't uninstalled or disabled any bloatware yet and I'm completely stock aside from the root

Same here completely stock and still nothing. Tomorrow will be day 4, so either tomorrow or the next day. I was waiting to get this and do a little more reading on rooting before I put on the jellybomb ROM most likely. Still learning about launchers and themes and such, along with the whole backup process
like you guys I waited and waited until I found a thread on how to manually update it so far its great.
If you are rooted, you cannot take the update. eventually it will prompt you to update, but you wont be able to. for now you will have to wait until they have a stock rom with the update, or unroot and take the update. IF you unroot you can manually take the update by following qbking77's instructions.
There's a new OTA update available for the Galaxy S4 SGH-M919V variant from Wind Mobile, Eastlink, Videotron in Canada.
This is the update that finally brings the much awaited Apps2SD feature to our phones. It also includes the following enhancements:
- Some new icons in the settings
- Additional 'Smart Pause' button in quick settings
- Stability improvements
- Upgrades the camera firmware.
- Storage shown as 16GB now, but 6.38 GB is occupied by System memory under 'Misc'.
Firmware version: M919VVLUAMG1
So its official. TMo is the last carrier on Earth to get this update.

The OTA will fail to update if you're rooted.
I had to Odin back to stock and then apply the OTA update.
So yes, the update will break root.
I haven't tried to root it since, so I can't report any progress there.

It failed because it said your device is modified and prevent you from updating or it failed in the middle of updating?
tmobile needs to speed up this apps to sd update.....
I love how they are trying to hide the space the system uses under miscellaneous. This might trick people into not complaining about having more available disk space. I've heard good things about this update... Just want it already.
Still lovin' Tmo more than Sprint!!! 15-26mb beats 100k all day long. And I enjoy being able turn the camera sound off without rooting.

you can blame me for the update not being released and it wont be released for months, according to my sources. I talked to t mobile about all the bugs they have, so they said fine, we will do everything never to give bugs again, hence a long update period...It was probably my phone calls that lead to this wait

You son of a ..... ;__; :crying:
I realize it's always an agonizing wait to get your hands on the newest firmware. However, there's a bright side to it. You all are still able to root and tinker with your devices.
I haven't been able to root the newest firmware using motochopper and am hesitant to try CF-Autoroot because in the case it does trip the flash counter and I loose root, I won't be able to reset it.
So, by the time tmobile sends out the update, there hopefully is a way to root.

Next time if your already rooted you can grab the app voodoo OTA Rootkeeper, which should be able to protect and reapply root after an update.

Thanks for that tip. However, I doubt it would've worked because since I was rooted, the update failed to complete installing around 25%. So, I had to odin back to stock and then apply the OTA. Probably something to do with a locked bootloader.

Yeah, the phone status was 'Official'. You'd have to be in order to get OTA updates/notifications.
Initially upon rooting, the status changed to 'Custom', But I followed the guide below to revert it to 'Official' while retaining root.

You likely have the problem that some system files got corrupted because of bad EMMC.
When the update fails and you have the fallen android, press/hold Power, then press/release VolUp, then release Power.
This will show you the error and can confirm or refute this diagnosis.
If you want to get past it in the more efficient manner, you'll probably need to unlock the bootloader, then flash one of the factory images.
I will see that when the OTA notification comes again..... But how can I solve the problem.... is anyone else facing it ?

As I mentioned you'll probably need to flash a factory image to get around it, or you'll have to identify each file that is corrupted and replace it.
If you don't resolve the problem you won't get the 4.4 update automatically, but you can manually install the 4.4 factory image.

I and the op posted extensively in that thread. All the solutions there require unlocking your bootloader. If you are going to do that you might as well just flash the factory image.

Person on the other thread mentioned they got a JWR66N->KRT16S OTA update.
Previously we had only seen JSS15R->KRT16S updates, which would mean you would need to get from JWR66N->JSS15R first. The JWR66N->JSS15R update would fail for you, but there is a chance a JWR66N->KRT16S update would work because more files are shipped whole and not as patches.
Regarding the youtube video, it should get your where you need to be. I would skip the relocking of your device though to keep future flexibility in case something like this happens again.
If you want to be on KRT16S(4.4), then just flash the KRT16S factory image. If you want to be on the latest 4.3 then flash JSS15R.
Keep in mind unlocking the bootloader will erase your use data (including your virtual sdcard) so backup anything important and move it off the tablet to your PC or the cloud.

I received the update as well. coming from 5.02 the update package was around 600 something mbs to download. No huge differences shooting out to me just yet but time will tell
Depending on your carrier the size of the update will vary, as you can see on screen shot my tmobile update was 102.97 mb.
I was on 5.1.1 OTA stock firmware.

Apparently it's an update to fix issues with the battery and various bugs. Just updated gonna see what it's all about today.
Make way for all the battery life and memory question. Oh and RAW as well. That seems to be a popular topic these days.
Installing now. Coming from COF6 it was 102.97mb download. Hopefully it fixes my phone. It's been laggy as can be and had tons of battery drain.

If you also care about keeping Knox in tact with root on this OF8 5.1.1, you're simply out of luck. If you don't care, flash the OF6 Odin image and then check for system updates (or just wait for this OF8 image to be posted). Then install TWRP and/or the latest Unikernel.

Unikernel roots this ROM, no problem there. You are right that people coming from OCG need to be very careful they enable OEM unlock in developer options before they root, though.

Some folks that "odined" OCG didn't have the option in developer options to turn on OEM unlock.
