My tablet is rooted and modded.
I have an annoying update pop-up that says I have an update (137mb) from tmobile. (Aug 2016)
Will this break my root?
Will I be able to re-root the device?
I have not seen any downloads from Sam mobile and don't want to break my tablet trying to flash older firmware in case the bootloader gets an update.
Has anyone gotten the update? Any problems?

I am in the bay area and have T-Mobile. I have a rooted phone with stock firmware. I recently got a Firmware Update message on Sept 13th but have been just ignoring it.
If I hit Update will it remove my root access? I am assuming it will.
How do I get rid of the annoying message at the top left that indicates a firmware update is available? Do I have to remove some package or kill a process?

The OTA update breaks root, but this thread has the radio update that is in the OTA so you can flash it without breaking root.
Rooted
Stock Rom
Backed Up Stock w/ Rom Manager V5.5.1.5
If you need more info, please tell me how to get it to you. I'm a noob @ mobile mod stuff...
Today January 17, 2013 my Phone said I had an OTA update, it will not tell me what the update is.
Is this the 4.0 update?
Will this remove my root?
Is it true this update will remove flash player?
how long have you had your phone? 2.3.x is old, the t989 got has been on 4.0.x for some time now (4.04 is the current factory rom), you probably have a few updates to do!
SGH-T989 FW2.3.6 OTA update
I believe We got our phones June 2012. They came with Uvlke1 I think then updated to UVLDE around November 2012...
I wouldnt mind 4.x.x, You can use Xbox360 SmartGlass.
Does Adobe Flash Player matter anymore?
Do I need to unroot to update ota or just click start?
Will updating remove my root SU?
How hard is it to ReRoot when i've finished updating?

Yes
No, as long as u didn't debloat
Not the supersu app, but u will lose root, have to reflash in cwm
Its not
I clicked it.... smh, it was some 5 second update. have no clue what it did...
So now I did my wifes phones with kies (unrooted) all went well, update it to 4.0.4 ....
What is debloat?
Debloat if I'm not wrong. Its when they take all the T-Mobile things out that you don't actually need in the phone.

My wife is in the sane boat as you. She's pure stock. Has had it since the free phone sale last year in T-Mobile. She is still on your firmware. GB 2.3.6 with the T989UVLDG baseband. She's had 3 OTAs since shes had it but remains on GB. Don't understand why. Her last OTA was the 17th as well. No idea what it was for since it took the longest of the 3 and left her on GB.

I'm new to android. I can't figure out why my phone will not OTA update. I'm on 4.1.2 I thought that I had the Sep. 4.1.2 update, but I don't and found that out when I was trying to update to the 4.3 that I've been waiting for. I'm still on version (I317UCAMC3) not (H3) which it says you need for the 4.3 update.
Every time I try to OTA update I get Software Update Interrupted, I think I've also gotten "your software is up to date"? I've also tried the Kies firmware and it says that my version is not supported to update via kies? I got the phone off eBay supposedly new and unlocked, but it's Att branded. Would being unlocked stop an update?

DO NOT OTA
you want to be on 4.3, just use the one click method, this way you dont have the locked bootloader

OTA = BAD. Wait and get one that is knox free as well.
It's not the unlocked part blocking the update. If the updated senses that the current version is not 100% stock, then it won't update. If the recovery is not 100% stock (I'm not 100% about this though), it won't update.
But you will end up in the long run being better off flashing either 4.4 (which ever cooked ROM you choose,) or waiting for the fabulous dev's here in XDA land to cook up the 4.3 version knox free, and rooted out of the box.
As far as I know the phone is stock so I still don't understand why the update won't go through. I downloaded a root checker to see if my phone was rooted and it says that it is not. since I can't figure out why the phone won't update I guess I should just root and install a rom.
Usually a custom recovery stops an official update.

I was told unless you have ***mh3, it will not update to 4.3 via OTA.
I have same issue, I have UCAMA3 and it won't do.
It seems it doesn't even have to be stock for someone I work with had **MH3 rooted and all and it updated to 4.3 OTA.
Maybe someone will be able to put out rooted stock one in the future.
my phone wont update either
I am having a similiar issue with my phone, it is rooted and will not update. I have Android version 4.1.2 Baseband version I317UCAMH3 Build JZO54k.. and I have twrp recovery. Does anyone know what I can do to receive the update? Do I have to unroot in order to receive the update? and if so can someone direct me on how to do that? Or is it better to just flash a custom rom and if so would someone be able to direct me to where I can find the instructions to do that. Thank you so much! I have flashed roms in the past but its been a while...

My wife and I both have a SM-T900, mine is rooted hers is stock. Today she received the OTA update but I get a message that my device is modified and the update is not available. I then connect my device to my PC using Kies 3 and it tells me that a update is available. My question is can I go ahead and update my rooted device, will it screw anything up, will I still have rooted afterwards or will I have to re-root? I still have stock recovery.
yea, you just lose root after the update and you can re-root afterward. you wont lose anything. The update is very minimal so i would say wait until the official Lollipop comes out to update it.
I currently have a Verizon G4 with Root. Verizon just release a new version of software (I'm currently on 11A). Can I do the over the air update without loosing root? Thanks!!
Think I found my answer. I need to flash stock firmware, take the the update then re-root.
