Just got home with a brand new P3113 running JB 4.1.1. I saw a notification symbol I hadn't seen on the one I had just returned, a garnet red p3113 that was also running 4.1.1. It says "Software update - confirm that you have read and understood the..." and when I select it it asks me what country I'm in, then asks me to accept Samsung's terms and conditions for Software update.
So, I assume this is an OS update (have never had a Samsung phone or tab before). Anyone know what it is? 4.1.2? 4.2.1? Is this really brand new as of today? Anyone else gotten it?
I didn't go ahead with it as I want to be sure I don't end up not being able to root or anything. Any reason not to do it?
ETA: How do you take a screenshot so I can take one of my current firmware?
power + volume down
That is may be 4.1.2
We wont be getting 4.2 that easily

So I should have no future problems updating to (presumably) 4.1.2 as far as rooting and custom ROMs?
Yes , There are workaround methods to OTA update your device even after rooting , do search general thread and u will find one

Thanks but I'm not rooted yet. What I'm wanting to be sure of is that if I take the OTA now, before rooting, that I will be able to root on whatever the new version turns out to be. I haven't found any documentation on what this OTA is.
I thought there would be more interest that there is an OTA for a P3113 running 4.1.1 since I didn't find anything about it and the Tab I just exchanged didn't get the notification so it must be a brand new OTA.

I have just received an OTA update to 2.3.6. I have been connecting my Note to my laptop using Kies for the last few days to see if it was available that way but there was no mention of an update. So I was pleased when I did an update check using Settings on my phone and discovered one was available OTA. It is good getting OTA updates just like on the Nexus One so there is no risk of installing the wrong firmware or making a mistake using Kies.
So what difference does the update make?
received my note yesterday and had OTA 2.3.6 XXKKA also 15 megs size.
also interested to know the differences
i bought from carphonewarehouse and got OTA 2.3.6 this morning too.
ps. its stock phone with no root.
So this removes root and CWM?
Edit: apparently root and apps are not touched on this update according to the other thread about this.
Just downloaded and install failed, it said to try using kies...

That may be the case, so I'll probably do this later today since it's almost 3am. I don't want to set everything up tonight.
Or we can just wait for a custom ROM that will have the update.

Thanks for the thread! I've nicely updated my phone
Also got 2.3.6 OTA today. Phone is from the Polish Plus+ telco. Seems much snappier all around. Will be interesting to see if battery life improves too. Also the stylus seems more accurate but it's hard to say...
Bring on ICS!
mine fails the wifi update. tried 3 times. my phone is rooted.
fire up kies and says that kj4 is the latest
perhaps its to do with the method you used for rooting.
iirc, there are a couple of different root methods, some of them seem to affect the tamper counter (cant think of what its really called). maybe the update is only available for those who still have the counter at 0?
dont quote me on this though, im still a nubblet on the tweaking side of android.

It seems rooting has nothing to do with it. I've rooted by the CF-Root method 2.
Maybe any other changes make the problem (theme mods ?)

I rooted my note with Chainfire's tutorial using the zergrush method and installed the new KKA kernel.
My phone downloaded this new update but failed to flash it on reboot. I think I'll just wait and see if Chainfire releases his own version or there is a rom with it built in.
OK so im very confused here... I have Nexus S 4g unlocked/rooted. I have the original Clockwork recovery.
I am running ICS, as soon as it was released OTA and someone made it into a flashable zip file with no mods I flashed it... I gained all my security features back as in being able to use my mobile banking instead of it saying that there was an issue with the security of the phone. I love this version and that I have the benefits of a rooted phone but still get to use everything as a non rooted android...
also I am using the radio and bootloader that was released with the ICS OTA
yesterday (9/13/12) I recieved an OTA update notification to update to 4.1.1 Jelly Bean
I really want the offical OTA version but dont want to unroot the phone.
Is it safe to download this OTA or will it brick my phone?
If it is not safe what are my options to get this stock version w/o mods on my phone?
I really need to do something ASAP as my children get my phone all the time and this notification pops up like every 15 mins and only gives me options to install later, more info, and install now, and I dont want my children to plan on it and end up installing the update and bricking my phone!
Thank you sooo much!
Just flash one of the OTA roms on here for jellybean

Basically is this possible, to go from 4.2 to 4.1.2? Mine is fine but my friend's Nexus 7 keeps shutting down.
Will a factory reset restore 4.1.2? Is there another way? Been googling for an hour, & I'm thinking it mustn't be possible with unrooted devices.
Thanks for any help
Mrs Hedgehog
P.S Please don't yell.
Not that I am aware of--I think you'll need to unlock the boot loader to then push the 4.1.2 image to it, but don't worry, its pretty straightforward with a little reading. Check the stickies for guides.
did the move to 4.2 occur via ota update?

Yes it was via OTA update. Bottom, she isn't going to want to unlock her device. Is there no way to put it back to how it was when she pulled it out of the box brand new? Even if she loses everything she would prefer that.
P.S Thanks for answering, appreciated.
Maybe she needs to think again. You can relock it as if nothing had happened!
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Ok would Google know if she did that. Would it be like it was when she first got it? Say if she had to send it back under the guarantee? I'm shocked actually. I thought a factory reset would take it back to basics. I don't think she'll agree somehow.
Nope, it is like nothing ever happened. No-one shall know (nor care,quite frankly).
Factory reset is more like delete data and settings (and also all your photos etc, if you choose SD card) and return to factory state (I.e. the base OS, which is now 4.2 after the update). It does not roll back to the original OS from the factory, which could be several iterations back.

So I'd still get the notification to update to 4.2 if I reverted back.
But yeah, 4.2 isn't that bad. I do notice some unresponsiveness when clicking icons but other than that, pretty good.

Really wish that Google would have an option for "Never" when it asks for permission to install an update.

If "stock" is before 4.1.2 then yes, you'd get the OTA update notification (which would unroot the tablet. You might as well manually flash 4.1.2.
My Nexus 7 "bricked" when I allowed the update from 4.1.2 to 4.2, requiring a complicated procedure to unbrick it. I suspect that the problem was caused by a "rootkeeper" app.

I wrote that wrong, I meant if I'm on 4.2 and flash back to the 4.1 original that first came with the device, would the 4.1.2 update come up OTA or would I have to flash 4.1.2 manually?

I think you have to update manually. OTA will offer 4.2.

Correct. The FOTA update would offer only the latest version.
On my new Nexus two separate updates were sent in sequence. First an update to 4.1.2 then another update (declined) to 4.2 a few minutes later. It was not a single update from 4.1.1 to 4.2.
Thank u for sharing this info, this saves me the trouble from updating to 4.1.2 manually.
UPDATE: So I went back to the initial ROM the device came with (JB 4.1.1) and Google quickly prompted to update to 4.1.2 (which is what I wanted) and now it asks me to update to 4.2 but I ignore that
Long story short, my Nexus 7 is back up and working flawlessly again!!

4.2..> 4.1.2 Without rooting
Have Nexus 7, stock, has been upgraded OTA to 4.2.1. Have an $80 app (Anywhere Map) which company is working on a fix to operate with 4.2. I use Linux and it appears you can upgrade manually with 'adb reboot recovery' then Power & Vol to get recovery menu. Posts have said simply use 'adb sidload upgrade_img.zip' or 'adb install upgrade_img.zip'. Simple enough. I've only gotten to the menu from which I can choose 'apply update from adb', but have done nothing. Posts have said simply issue the command and select reboot from menu after it installs. This should install new os version without removing apps nor sdcard info. (I have backed up the whole sdcard with 'adb pull' to my computer.)
I have 4.1.2, 4.2, and 4.2.1 images. What I would like to do is put the 4.1.2 on to use until Anywhere Map gets their act together for 4.2. But 4.1.2 seems like a minor update to 4.1 and I can't find that image at Google nor anywhere else.
So the question is as to whether updating with the 4.1.2 image will work or not. I have the material to root the machine manually but would prefer not to do it. This all looks rather straightforward from the many posts I've read, except with my reservations on the 4.1.2 update. Thanks for any comments.
Might be an answered question. Was just wondering if there's anyway to disable the autoupdate. I like my S4 the way it is right now and don't want any chance that it might autoupdate to android 4.3 which can mess up rooting etc even though i have rootkeeper. At least til issues with new android ver are all clear. So anyway to disable this auto os update? thnx..
Your rooted that's enough to disable I believe cus it wont update if modified. .I might be wrong

Rooted my nexus 10 and that didn't prevent it from dnlding the update. At least it has the decency not to go ahead w installing the downloaded update. Now I hv this constant notification on the status bar to install it. Don't want this to happen also to S4
4.3 is at least 1-2 months away so I doubt you need to do this. And got a blunt is mostly right. Being rooted will not allow the installation to happen. It will download the update and tell you have a system update but it won't install on its own.

The only way of being able to update its just having a rooted phone with no mods in someway and also having stock recovery, if you are rooted with a custom rom or mods and have a different recovery then yes if you click the update accidently then you wont have no problem what so ever its just going to abort.

On my rooted S4 (CF-auto-root), I also have TWRP recovery installed. So this would qualify then as a different recovery? Additionally i also got MF9HotspotMod-Odexed and international SIM unlock on there. So i am guessing all this should be enough to prevent any update?
OTAs won't flash in custom recoveries. If you for some reason hit install update it would boot into recovery and try to install but fail.

I have an AT&T LG G2. On my previous phone, after I accepted the OTA for 4.1.x to 4.3 on a Galaxy S3, it was a nightmare. I couldn't get su to run, and I got all kinds of security errors (apparently from KNOX), and not just for superuser. Even though I read several threads about it, I never was sure if it was 4.3 at fault -- which does seem to have some issues per Chaintech -- or if it was Samsung's KNOX, or both. So I certainly want to do my homework before I do that on my new LG.
Which is asking at least these questions:
Should I bother updating from 4.2.2 to 4.3 on the G2?
(I've read the technical differences, which seem to be incremental. I just want opinions here. For example, things like the new Camera UI may be irrelevant considering LG's customizations already in place with 4.2.2.)
If it isworth upgrading, will it retain root with an OTA? If it doesn't, what is the best way to go about restoring it in 4.3?
This firmware is probably the first I've ever seen, and that's a lot since first adopting the original T-Mobile G1, where I didn't want to replace the ROM. It's that slick. For now, I just need root and a custom recovery.
TIA.

Hmm, this seems to be the case, now I'm reading they may skip over 4.3 completely. This update it's offering to install is a bug fix and remains at 4.2.2. It's like 57MB, so I assumed it would be 4.3 as my Galaxy SIII got that a while back (and blew up, hence this whole thread).
I'll probably wait until KitKat comes out, then. I really like the LG ROM, and I just wanted root for backups, ad blocking, etc. I've run CyanogenMod since back when it was called JesusFreke, but then I'd have to reinstall everything and all that jazz. Question is, can I wait until Q1 2014.
