Still haven't received OTA.

I still haven't received the OTA, and I'm not rooted or anything. Is anyone else not received it? Am I doing something wrong?

My only would download when I was on wifi, it stopped with I was in 3g.

Will this un-root me?
I'm coming from an EVO 4G to the Epic 4G Touch. I did the non-Odin root method, does anyone know if this OTA will un-root the Epic?

The update will fail if you're rooted. You have to be stock to update via OTA. Why not manual update + root?

Typically the OTA install fails on a rooted device. Undo root first if you want the update sprint's rolling out.

How did you do the manual update, I really want to do it.

I used the zerg rush method that's been listed here to root my phone so I can use TitaniumBackup for my work apps (Good/RSA). I tried other ROMs/Kernels but I got horrible LOS unless I was on stock. I haven't tried since EK02 though but will soon.
I applied the patch with root and it applied successfully. I manually downloaded the leaked zip to my desktop, renamed to update.zip, placed on the root of my SDCARD, booted the phone in to download mode and applied the update.
Update applied without issue but my root WAS removed. I re-ran the auto root using that zerg rush method and my root was back. This was last week and so far no issues.

Pick a ROM...there's lots to choose from...Calk's, StrongSteve, Crawrj, Chris41g...(just to name a few) we've got a slew of brilliant dev's who have cooked up some great ones. Make sure you're on an EG30 modem first before a full EK02 update/flash though. Most of us flashed the EG31 when it leaked and were stuck for a bit.

got the update this morning

I got the update this morning, and for the record, I was and remained rooted before and after the update (sfhub ez-root)...Maybe it worked since my system was completely stock, only rooted.

That is correct, if you only ROOTED using the auto root sticky, that will not impede you from successfully installing the EK02 OTA update. If you also installed EG30+CWM, then all you would need to do is install EG30 before accepting the EK02 OTA update.
BTW after the OTA update installed, you would still have Superuser in your app drawer, but the functionality would have been disabled. To re-enable, just run the auto root and choose Option A.

Still haven't gotten the update...on complete stock with no root or anything and EG30
For some reason LoS has gotten really bad the past few days...I guess I only have to wait a few more though so it's not too bad

I got the update this morning (out of no where). Yesterday, I tried putting my phone on airplane mode, turn it off, then pull the battery - nothing.

Just be patient.

Anyone know of a way to disable the update notification?
I don't want it popping up every 10 minutes.

I woke up to the "your update is ready to install message" message. I'm rooted on blazer 1.2, if i want to stay where I'm at, can I just reboot to clear the update? I just don't feel like reinstalling apps and restoring sms.

AT&T update?

So I'm rooted, running the Rogers kernel and the AT&T rom. I've removed the bloatware myself. Today I was notified of an AT&T update. My phone will download it, but it fails to install.
Anybody else experiencing this?

Probably failing a check sum. I'm avoiding updates in case they update something that prevents me from rooting.

I am rooted as well, and don't want the update.
Is there a way to disable the update checking?
I am getting this prompt also, and I wish to disable it (until I know what the update will do)
EDIT: For now I just leave my WiFi disabled (as it will only update over WiFi)
I still want to disable the checking though

i just got the update and it now says android 2.3.6

I know that before updates install they check can check your phone and if packages have been removed, like you did, it can block the update. You may have to restore the packages that you removed before it will install.
This is the first phone I have rooted. I would like to know what the update changes, specifically if it fixes the Android OS high battery usage. Also if the update causes you to lose root or can be rooted after.

Got the update, and it is stuck at 74%. Has been for about 20 minutes. I'm not rooted. Think I should wait or pull the batt?

I've got the update downloaded and I'm rooted. Haven't installed the update yet, because I'm wondering if this will unroot my phone and bring back our friends from Carrier IQ…

Looking at the 2.3.6 changelog for a Galaxy S2 their update actually removed CarrierIQ

Same here. Rooted with Rogers kernel, AT&T ROM. Still failed the update even with the default launcher, USB Debugging set to off, and default packages (bloatware) intact. Is there a method to "unrooting" and restoring the default unrooted kernel/ROM? Would someone have had to backed up or dumped their ROM first somehow? (ODIN?)

Girlfriends phone tried to update, I turned off Wifi, then went to Running Services, stopped "Device Management" from running, installed Autostarts, disable Device Management from starting, turned on Wifi, hasn't seemed to come back as of yet.

Exact same problem on my wife's phone...she got the update today....she is NOT rooted, and also got stuck at 74% during the update. Not sure whether to pull the battery or just wait longer?

Well, since nobody has been answering my questions about this update I figured no one knows so I went ahead and installed it. I'll take my turn at Guinea pig.
I rooted the phone previously with the guide here: http://www.theandroidsoul.com/root-captivate-glide-rogers-and-att/ , not the one on XDA. I have also removed the tetheringmanager package.
The update installed fine and I still have root. Version says 2.3.6. Don't know what it did.

Lookout labs Carrier IQ detector says I do not have CIQ

I installed this update it
Did work, I still have root it also did remove carrier IQ as mentioned, it did not hang for me. I checked to see if carrier IQ was removed with titanium backup, Android is now 2.3.6, and kernel is now 2.6.36.3 not sure what it was
Before base band is now i927uckl1 not sure if that changed either.
Hope this was of help

[PSA] New Firmware update for Canadian Galaxy S4 SGH-M919V

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.

Unfortunately, it appears to be the case as of now. I really can't imagine it being that far off now. Since, these versions are identical!

Will the update kill ROOT?

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.

man, i got excited for a minute when i read new firmware update.

T-Mobile is usually quick to send out updates, I wonder why it's taking them long to release this one? The S3 got the JB update pretty quick if I'm not mistaken.

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.

Official OTA COF8 update.

Well here it is.
It happened at 5am took about 15min to complete.
So far nothing weird, phone still smooth as butter and faster than Ricochet Rabbit.

Never saw it go down this low after running Smartmanager.

Great! Let's hope this doesn't patches up the root exploits.. anyone can confirm?
Can anybody try whether OF8 can be rooted using unikernel?

Took about the same amount to update mine... It seems faster, dont know exactly what the changes are but i thought it would of included samsung pay

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.

Any update for the Stock Camera app, guys?

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.

Doesn't appear to be any change, and the app still reports as Version 4.0

I'm currently rooted on 5.0.2 - what would be the best method to update to this version while keeping root (if possible). Thanks in advance!

Just got my update also. I will update on how it runs by the end of day.

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.
So for them its extremely risky.

The international variants received the OGx update today as well. One site said it was the first post 5.1.1 update but I recall them getting the update that tmobile pushed out today (OF8) about a month ago. Are we now one update behind?

My deep sleep time has never been close to what it's been today with the update. It may actually work.

stock 4.3 to 4.4.2 question

Yesterday when I was checking for app updates, the T-Mobile updater (i guess that is what its called) forced the download of 4.4.2 to my phone and now I think it will auto update the phone to 4.4.2
If i don't keep postponing it. I've read nothing but bad things about 4.4.2 so that is why I've never updated my phone since i got it just over 2 years ago....is it safe to do so? or should I attempt to check for other updates?
Will I lose anything (I read that the apps can no longer write to the sd-card, though there are apps that Ive come across that fixes that issue)? I am in the process of backing everything up (already did the phone *plugged it into my computer and used Explorer* though it will take quite some time still due to the card having 45 gbs of stuff on it (mostly audio) I've also read that there were battery life issues....and that some peopel had to factory reset their phones to get it working correctly again...
Thanks for any help you guys can give.

Yes you need to install the 4.4.2 update. You will not stay on that version though. Once you install it you will be prompted to install other updates a well. Once you've installed all of the OTA updates you will end up on build number N900TUVUFOL1 which is Android 5.0 and the most up to date. You always want to be on the latest baseband if possible.
