I'm on tmobile, and i still havnt received the update.. When will it come out for me? I am using a unlocked one ..
I checked -- About > System Update > and it immediately goes to no update available
-- Non rooted stock phone
Your question has been answered in a couple other threads already. Google is releasing the update in rolling batches. You'll probably have it by the end of the week. Be patient.
Install it manually if you're in such need (not trying to sound harsh), but yes, I think you should just use the standard manual update method. You'll get what you want, without having to wait.
So just right now as I'm sitting in the ****ter I got an OTA update for my voicemail.. didnt even give me a description of what it contained .. does anyone know what this is about? Do you think its going to lose root access ?

Here's something you could do. Install it and you will find out.
...No, you won't lose root.
My wife's phone is asking for this update. I told her to update it, but it will not install. It will download the file and ask to install, but thats it "application not installed". Any way to install this or get this popup to go away?
This update FUBARed my VM. I had to wipe all data to get it to work again, and if I apply the update, it breaks again. Any way to get rid of the "Mandatory Update" prompt?
Update - Just got off of the phone with Sprint. Tier 2 escalations support manager syas they have seen several EVOs loose VVM and VM indicator after applying the "Mandatory Update". Rep told me to not apply it and ignore the message. Also said there is no way to remove the message.
Sounds like a good reason to use Google Voice for our voicemail instead of the Sprint app.
ETA: Then you can just remove the VVM apk from your phone and never worry about it again.

I complained about this today, and received a $10 credit.
I posted this solution in another thread also. My friends phone is rooted and running Fresh 1.0.1. I'm assuming that its because Fresh signed this ROM so the signature doesnt match for the new mandatory VM update. Try this and see if it works:
A friend of mine's phone did this today also. It kept giving an error when he tried to update Visual Voicemail. I ended up enabling "Unknown Sources" to make it work . . . He is running Fresh 1.0.1. (Yes, way behind I know - He agreed to let me update it after our Thanksgiving break)
Menu > Settings > Applications > Check 'Unknown Sources'. This fixed his.
BTW: Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Feel free to uncheck this after the update, or if the update still fails. (If you are paranoid about having that enabled)
Thanks, but that isn't the fix to my problem. I always allow unknown sources for install. The VVM update will install, it just won't authenticate with the server.
Not sure if this is the same update i had months ago, but it allows you to turn on Sprints version of voice mail to text, it wiped my VM data as well.
Speaking of voice mail to text, I discovered somethin g the other day that's kind of neat. If you send an SMS to a land line number, it will ring the phone and, if answered, a computer voice will read the SMS. If the phone goes to voice mail, the same voice reads the SMS to voice mail. Pretty cool...and I don't think there is a fee for the service.
I had no problems with my update... Always use the default msg, so I don't know if it would have wiped VM info, but I still have all my old VM msg's...

Won't even download
Has anyone else had my symptom? Refuses to download when I tell it to: "VoiceMail > Settings > Check for upgrade". It goes online to check, then says "A mandatory upgrade is now available. Includes FREE Trial to Voicemail-to-Text". Pushing the "Upgrade" button immediately complains "General failure. Please try again at a later time".
It won't download the upgrade image at all. Anyone else?
(Perhaps it's because I'm still running 2.1; refused OTA upgrade to 2.2 so far, keeping rooted 2.1)

Well, that "sounds just fine on paper", but after upgrading to exactly that, a "stock rooted Froyo 3.29 base", I've still got the Messages (SMS) app reminding me via Notification that "A mandatory update is now available", and it still gets the same "General failure" error.
Sigh.

You really should sit "on" the ****ter and not "in" the ****ter.

I was able to use the "ignore" option a month or so back but now the only option for the update is to "install later" and give a time. I do not want the update since I am rooted and this update will no doubt remove my root and install bloatware.
How can I permanently remove/block this notification and get on with my life until 5.0 is released?
Thanks in advance,
Jeff

I haven't tried this yet but this should get rid of it, at least until the phone reboots:
1. Long press on the "Software update available" notice in the notification bar.
2. Select App info
3. Force stop SDM
If I can't find a confirmed way to root my Verizon Note 3 after updating to 4.4.4, I'm going to do this as well.

Thanks. I'll see how long this lasts. Hate to give up root for nothing in return but bloatware....
Sadly, SDM almost immediately restarted and continued to annoy. Since I'm pretty sure there's no way to root the Verizon Note 3 yet, I just froze the SDM app using Titanium.
So I've been using 6.0.1 since I got this phone last year. I rooted it pretty much immediately, but then Samsung pushed out one of their security patches, which basically "bricked" the software. Whenever I try to update the phone, I get a fine:
The operating system on your device has been modified in an unauthorized way. Try downloading software updates using Smart Switch on your computer or visit a customer service center

Basically I rooted my phone, so OTA updates aren't available.
Apparently the new Nougat update is now live in Denmark, so I really want to update my phone, but I don't want to lose my apps, documents, images, and so on. I basically want to do an update, just like I never rooted my phone. I don't care about keeping my root.
How do I go on about this? I just want to "remove my root" and do an OTA update to get Nougat the most legit way possible.
Thanks!
EDIT: I should probably also say, that when I open SuperSU, I get a:
There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it. This is a problem

Since that security update from Samsung last summer, my root magically disappeared, but it's still there apparently.
Hey all,
I am very much willing to wipe my phone to do a downgrade.
I have the OP8 Pro, unrooted (never rooted/never unlocked bootloader).
The scenario I see is - I downgrade my phone to 10.15.13 (I have the INAA modell). I'm sure at some point the phone will check for an OTA.
My question - Is it all possible for the phone to upgrade itself if it restarts?
Meaning, is there a time limit that the update is sitting in the queue waiting for the user to press reboot to install? Or can I just somehow figure out a way to silence the system notification of an update pending?
Not sure if that makes sense but my hope is to just go back to 10 and enjoy certain things that just worked out better for me unrooted vs 11 unrooted until some things are ironed out.
Thanks for your time.
No you would need to initialise the upgrade, unless you have automatic updates on.
You would have seen the initial installation begin.
Least that's my experience of it. The update is stored on the phone so you may also be able to delete it.
Turn off automatically download updates.
I downgraded using the special firmware I found (couldn't find official to do it ) and then installed the official EU/UK firmware straight after with no problem

Nice - noted. I think I can start my search as well. Looking to do this tonight.
