Sorry if this question has been asked, but I'm curious. Samsung has released 2.3.6, and I'm hoping my issues of LOS, games crashing and charging issues get resolved.
So, I am wondering: If and when update is available and I accept, does it uprooted my phone or brick it?
I'm running Calkulin Rom and Kernel....

You received an over the air update notification?
No, you say?
Whatever file you downloaded, delete it. Its for the i9100. We have the SPH-d710
Sent from the future.
Sorry if my post was not clear. I have not received update, I'm assuming our et4g should be coming soon. I've been itching for update to fix problems I'm facing which is major to me.
My question is when the ota update does come, what happens IF I accept?

simple; you lose root, and possibly brick your phone
I was browsing around yesterday and found that it locks you out of being able to get root on the gsm phones. Haven't herd of the cdma update yet. The at&t phone had security issues that et2 did not. Don't chew me out if I'm wrong.
Yes, in most ota plan to lose root.

I am still not seeing the OTA update from my stock evo. Just wondering if they are still rolling it out or if everyone but me has access now ;-)

What ROM are you running?
If you're running a 2.2 rom already it might think you are current already
Also, just in case you've missed the other billion times it's been said:
DO NOT UPDATE IF YOU LIKE HAVING ROOT ACCESS TO YOUR PHONE

Then just keep checking, it'll show up eventually.
Try updating your profile, and rebooting wouldn't hurt anything.
Thanks for the ideas. So I guess no one knows if its a gradual roll out or if it's available for everyone yet...
I thought it wasn't coming out till thurs? What did I miss..anyway I won't be updating right now. Waiting for all you impatient people to report the bugs and for things to be updated.
Running rooted 1.47. Happy with it...but want that new PRL and wimax because reception here stinks and can't hold 4g if you step in any direction from where you connected.
Just received my G2 from Tmobile yesterday, turned on the phone and there was a notifaction saying there is a new version that has Wifi calling and many more fixes. My question is that will I be albe to perm root my G2 now after I updated? Thank you
Yes you will be able to perm root w/o a problem. Go to the G2 android development sections and all your answers are already there
should i get the update from tmobile after getting root
i rooted first since it was easy and now i get a notification saying i got an update is it ok to update thanks in advance
You can root and go straight to a custom rom that takes those fixes and much much more. I recommend CM or Enom's for functionality or virtuous for aesthetics.

I received a new G2 last week, applied the OTA update for wifi calling, and then successfully perma-rooted using the wiki. Took about an hour to go from stock to CM 6.1.1 and overclocked to 1.51Ghz.

But assuming that's the original T-Mo OTA (and I've seen nothing to suggest there's a new one) then it's safe to install the OTA and simply re-root.
You are correct, of course, that folks should stay clear of future OTAs if they are rooted though, till they've been checked by the devs - see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=875099

Yeah, I think it just threw some people off with the idea of an ota on a new device. It's still the same ole 1st ota for the G2 unfortunately. Nothing to rip out or borrow...
weird that it didn't come with the ota already on the device but since android, ota's haven't been flashed on the device. nevermind, I thinking of the old wm devices... I'm a bit tired.
I've looked around, but sorry if this is a dumb question. I'm rooted on stock and have been trying to figure out if the latest OTA update will mess up anything if I update it. I can't stand getting asked to update every damn minute. I understand I may have to re-root but it won't brick anything if I update correct? (as a general rule of thumb, at least?)

I dont think you should ever do a OTA while Rooted. I'm sure someone is working on a rooted version of the update. I havent gotten any notifications for a OTA, but I know on my Moto Xoom running ICS, there was a option in the setting to turn off notifications for OTA's.
I've looked all over and haven't seen anyone else talking about this.
Yesterday, the AT&T Update Service started trying to automatically start downloading an update. Luckily I had bad connectivity and killed it, because I like to confirm what the update is about before being forced.
I have a rooted S3 running stock ICS ROM at the moment. Does anyone know what this update is? And does anyone know a good thread in this forum for finding out more about issues to be aware of, regarding OTA updates on a rooted phone?
Thanks very much.
Which stock ROM are running rooted? LEMand LG1, will most likely try to update you to LH9. You should be able to keep root using ota root keeper from the market. Just backup your root before ruining the update, then restore root after. If your already on lh9 or the newer LI5, it is possible is an update to 4.1 (not likely, though).
I've got LH9...

I'm on LH9. I got all excited it might be Jelly Bean, but I figured if that were true the whole internet would be buzzing about it. I can't figure out why no one has mentioned anything about an update... I'm kind of excited and suspicious all at the same time.
Thank you for the advice about keeping root.

Is it possible you have done a wipe or deleted data from AT&T Software Update app?
I have had this cause app to detect eligibility for an update that has already been done.
Don't know what it is...

The best way to find out what got updated is to go to Settings, About Phone and see what version you're on now.
Plugged in my Z1c to my Mac and now I have an update ready for me. Im assuming its for KitKat. But I have read a lot of threads saying there are a lot of problems. So should I just stay on Jellybean then? Will these problems be fixable by another update if Sony does respond to these problems? If not i'll be staying on 4.3 for a while then. ha
I dont have any issue with 4.4.2

Everything is fixable by Sony, should they wish to do so
That said, I've been running KitKat (UK unbranded) for a week now without the kinds of issues reported by others - only the crackling notifications, but I can live with those and it's pretty certain Sony will fix that sooner rather than later. So YMMV.
I'm new to Sony phones, but tbh this kind of rigmarole over updates has been the same with *every* Android OEM I've been with so far. HTC even pulled their KK update for the One Mini within days because of its bugs, and over a month later they still haven't put out a fixed version ... hopeless.
I am since sunday with the KK and no issues at all, my battery runs ok, ram memory got better and phone calls and camera no problem.
i made by OTA with no wipe. for me looks prety safe, i think most people who run in some problem are those who unlock bootloader or mod the phone.
I am not rooted or so, waiting a good reason to do it(4K video recording could be one)

I see. Then I might update since I am not rooted or have an unlocked bootloader either.

I just think this maybe is cause the problem of most people here, my opnion, the only one i ocasianly have is that when I answer a phone call auto go to loudspeaker, but i had that so often with 4.3 that had with 4.4 looks the same(some people say to disable chrome thats dont happen anymore)
auto mode was a catastrophe already on 4.3. my batery is runing good and i play dead trigger 2 and GTA with no lag.
for me, personaly, the update is ok
Until now i didn't find any bugs, what i did was... updating to 4.4 and after install it i did a factory reset. It runs smoothly with no problems until now.
All of those have "NO" problem with KK bug, short survey below.
Are you: -
1. Rooted?
2. Unlocked Bootloader?
3. OTA update?
4. PCC update?
5. Factory Reset after update?
6. Flash using flashtool?

I flashed the UK unbranded with Flashtool. This option should be added to your list.
I do have crackling notifications though - although strangely only with the Sony supplied ones, the Hangouts sounds are always fine. The ways of Sony are mysterious
So I upgraded to KitKat. Seems fine right now except my camera freezes. Any fix around this?
