Do you guys know when it will be released and if I can just flash it. I can't update at all through Ota due to root.

You would need to flash all back to stock to take the OTA. If any of the core partitions are modified, you will have issues updating

this is probably a noob question but this is my second android phone and the first one was already rooted so i didnt to update OTA.
Anyways i have desire z from bell unlocked on fido and not rooted so when android 2.3 is out for this phone can i get it OTA, do i have to rooted just to update it, or do i have to switch to bell to update it?
I'm sure the update will be here on the forums before you get any OTA.

Oh i dont need to root my phone to update from the forums?
If you leave your phone how it is, on the stock ROM, eventually you should get a 2.3 OTA update.
But custom ROMs will be available here on the forums with 2.3 way before then. If you want one then you will have to root and S-OFF.

No. I pushed the G2's OTA from my sd card and I wasn't rooted. Like steviewevie said you're most likely to see a custom rom with the updates before any OTA hits a G2.

And if you have a Custom Sense ROM installed,you don`t get the
OTA Update or rather can`t install this!
Custom ROMs don`t like OTA keys,right?

That's right. But that shouldn't be a problem, because a custom ROM will almost certainly get a 2.3 update before any 2.3 OTA comes out.
Root it now, while you still have the chance!
You can count on the next OTA update taking away the emmc reset vulnerability exploited by wpthis.
I am rooted and use caulkins rom, this morning I received a OTA update push, should I install it or will it brick my phone?
The update will not install on your device as you have it set up.
what does this new OTA install?

ROM, kernel, and modem. you have to be completely stock to install the OTA. Why not just flash a system update from here? Root is usually included.

Hey guys,
I received this offiial OTA push for 4.3 update on the 27th July (GMT +8). but when i try to install it on the recovery screen, it says update failed and restarts the phone. But ever since, I couldn't get the OTA push anymore. Not even from System Updates in the settings menu.
Anyone having this problem as well? or anyone know any walkaround for this?
Thanks!
P/S I've flashed my phone with the official rom that gets OTA from google instead of Samsung. And I'm currently on 4.2.2 with fancy kernel R35

If i'm not wrong, if you've a custom recovery OTA update fails, happened to me with my Nexus S back a year or two, i just grabbed the official image from google and flashed it VIA ADB.
PS: i can be wrong you know.

True, I've experienced this before, I would recommend go with Official Factory image if not sure your device is running completely stock before apply OTA...
First of all your using a custom recovery an second your using a custom kernel, so its always going to fail a ota install, my suggestion just flash a ota flashable twrp or cwm zip.

wrong. a custom recovery does not hinder the OTA, its the custom kernel that is causing the update to fail (and any other modifications you do to /system outside of root)
and if even if he tried to flash a OTA with cwm/twrp, it would still fail because of the kernel. the OTA does an assert check on system files before installing.

So in order for me to update to 4.3, I'd have to reflash the stock kernel then update with the OTA?

If that is the only thing you have changed from stock, yes. When it errors out in recovery, it should tell you the problem(s).

alright. Will try to revert to stock kernel and try the official OTA. Will revert back here after i've attempted it. Thanks a bunch you all
I just found a easier way to do things.
Just flash this 4.3 stock ROM over my current 4.2 rom. Works like a charm and hassle free.
So I got an update notice this morning for my tmo note 2. My phone is rooted but still on stock 4.3 rom. My question is how can I safely update my phone? I can't just update because im rooted right? I'm assuming that the update is the 4.4 update.

If you have root only it should just update. But if you have frozen any apps or modified system files the UPDATE WILL FAIL.. If you are on Custom Recovery The UPDATE WILL FAIL...
You will Loose root of course
Hope this helps..

Do a backup in titanium backup or whatever you use then unroot in supersu and then do a factory reset and it may update fine for you if not you will have to go to an older firmware and do the ota to what your on now and do the ota for kitkat

If you are able to update then please let us know what the update is. I would like to know if it is in fact the long awaited 4.4.2 update.

I haven't updated yet. I'm actually scared of bricking my phone. Im trying to find some step by step instruction for this. I don't have a titanium backup and I don't know how to use them
If we update to marshmallow will she loose root. It's an OTA update
As far as I know if you try to do OTA update with rooted phone it won't work. You may need to flash the update in TWRP and re-root

Your phone will stuck at boot screen. It is possible that recovery won't work and you will only have the choice to flash a kd or tot file to get phone working again.. So before getting update first do unroot....
