Ok just got prompted for this. I'm rooted, is it safe to update and reroot? Anyone know what changed? Thanks

Just flash a ROM that's based off the current ota. Or if you want to go the stock route there is a rooted pc36img.zip floating around development that will upgrade your radios, hboot, kernel and ROM.

Oh boy!...
Just flash one of the custom ROMs that already have this update implemented. There is no need to unroot and regain root privileges.
I don't want a custom Rom. If I can upgrade and reroot that is what ill do. Just asking is it safe.

I'm assuming this is an image of the updated Rom. Hard to search via tapatalk

That's correct. It's the easiest way to update everything to the latest ota without losing root.

Do you have a link. I actually tried to go through with the update via OTA and it failed during install.
Sent from my PC36100 using Tapatalk
If failed because you still have a custom recovery on your phone. You can only install an actual OTA if you have a stock recovery. Sorry, no link. On the xda app right now. If you still need it when I get home later I'll post it for you.

Yes please thanks. Unsure of the fixes in this update.

I rooted with Unrevoked and running the stock rom is ok to run ota update?
Why do you guys want to apply an ota after going through root? There are completely stock roms from the latest update so it'll be just like an ota except keeping root. Steelh rom I believe is one of them

No, it will not work for the same reasons that I described earlier.
Here is the link to the thread that has the rooted stock pc36img.zip. Download the file, rename it to pc36img, put it on the root of your sd card, boot into hboot and run the update once it's done loading. More detailed instructions are in the first post of that thread. You will lose all your data so make sure to back it up with Titanium or MyBackup so you can load everything back on after the update.

Doing it the way I described will ensure they are fully up to date, including radios, pri and hboot. Simply flashing a ROM won't update those. I think doing it this way will be easier for the inexperienced, with much less potential for screwing something up.
I dont know if I really wanna flash my radio though, I heard flashing a radio can really jack up your 4G.
I got a update pending on my phone right now at work so I don't wanna update yet in case it bricks me could it be 2.2 because I got the last update they sent out and if it is 2.2 should I update it because I believe I read 2.2 is harder to root (true?) And I wanna flash once the source code is released and bionix does there magic

Could be a KA2 baseband update only. I just got an update this morning OTA and it wasn't froyo...just baseband update to KA6. I was previously on stock JI6...see the thread I just created...

Just do it, there hasnt been a samsung update yet thats stumped our devs. If anything happens you can just odin back to stock.
Hi all....done some digging, and came across this.....
http://mobile.pcadvisor.co.uk/featu...g-galaxy-s2-get-android-41-jelly-bean-update/
A lot of regions are still "pending" (no surprise there lol) but at least you *may* get some idea about when/if you're going to get an update......
If your region/carrier is not listed in the table, please DON'T enquire here, but leave your question in the comments section at the bottom of the linked thread.....

I was rooted and the update installed via KIES. It broke root and installed stock recovery though. Have no idea what was updated.

Yea, it removed any custom multiwindow apps you had via MultiWindow Manager as well.
One thing I've noticed is the 'Birthday' card template in S-Note. Definitely wasn't there before.
I just flashed my n8013 to the latest, with mobile odin. I still have root & all my apps & settings.
I found the firmware update here. http://www.hotfile.com/dl/198751350/93e64ff/N8013UEUCMB3_N8013XARCMB3_XAR.zip.html

N8013 Update
Does anyone know why Samsung would offer an update that was the same exact # 4.1.2?
Also no way to OTA except that it was busy, will update in order received and to check back later?
Nothing about it on its site and only allows it to occur via Kies. Or am I just use to how Verizon and ASUS roles out an OTA
And yet no discussion about it here!

I updated via kies.
The Build number changed in the end. Instead of A3, it became B3.
The birthday template has been there.
Only difference I see is when you highlight the url in the default browser, it's a darker blue.
I compared mine with my friend's note who hasn't updated yet.
Edit* You now have an "export" option in the drop down menu on the home page of s note. It was only "import" before.
Edit** When you pinch the home screen to add more home screens, the background is now blue and not transparent.
Flashed sucessfully with Mobile Odin

Thanks for the link. Downloaded, extracted the .md5, flashed with Mobile Odin, kept root and my apps. It is working great. It took awhile to freeze the bloat in Titanium, but now it is working well.

Because your phone is being used on T-Mobile, your update will come from T-Mobile. Pretty sure that is what the axman was saying. I had a tmo phone on att at one point and got my updates from att....
I'm not sure how that works for our device, so you may not get an update at all from Tmo. But yes in general your update would come from tmo.

I haven't gotten the update either. I'm on an ATT i337 running Tmo SIM. Kies still says I'm current, and I've tried changing my phone's date to August 1st and still no update. If I'm on an ATT phone but using Tmo, will the OTA update work from Settings?
I don't want to root my phone until I get this update.

I appreciate the reference to the other thread, but I really don't want to spend the time jumping through those hoops. I'm hoping for an easy firmware update now, then a root method sometime down the line.

then keep an eye out on http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares for an MF3 tar release. once it drops you can flash via odin without root access
I'm confused. Will I receive the update through Settings->About Device->Software Update, or will I have to update it through Kies?
EDIT: Just noticed that I can't check for an update for another 1269 hours!!!

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I337 using Tapatalk 4 Beta
correct me if i'm wrong here.. i thought i read from that it's best not to do OTA updates if your usage preferences rely on root and/or custom roms and kernels.. i only use odin because from what i understand, that is usually the safest way to fully wipe and restore/upgrade/downgrade mobile devices running android. am i wrong? curious.
