Update pending?

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...

Update after root

Hi all!
About 2 months ago I rooted my Arc S using Zergrush. Today I got a notification there's a new system update. I'm guessing I shouldn't update. Am I right?

You can do it via OTA if you have a locked bootloader and remain root.

I can confirm that... Did OTA for My Missus's Xperia Mini and My daughters Xperia pro.. both updated fine.. and both still rooted.
How do I know if I have a locked bootloader?
Sent from my HTC Desire using xda premium
Yours is locked when you ask that question
Did you unlock it?

I think that if you had removed system files like removing bloatwares your phone will not be rooted after you update . However backup your stuff , update through you mobile update center (found in your mobile) , if not rooted downgrade again .

Use Kies. I had the same problem before.

Any notable difference after the upgrade ??
Does having the custom SpeedMod K3-11 kernel on my rooted note disable me to recieve the OTA update?
My friend was unrooted on stock and he recieved the update but I haven't yet! :/

Hi! I have updated my stock unrooted note 4.0.3 to 4.0.4 by OTA on 06.08.2012 afternoon. If you didn't get the OTA update (if you are not always connected to Wifi signal), kindly uncheck the Wi-Fi only option in Settings---About Phone----Software Update. This may help to get the software update notification.
thanks all people.i try kies but it is so slow.and hotfile is slow for me.but now i am downloading from samsung-updates.com and the speed is good
So what's the difference between the new OTA update and the older versions. Any new stuff or just bug fixes.
Regards,
Kailash

Using cf root you still can get updates through kies but applying an update will lose root so you will have to reroot after every update. OTAs although cf root does say its compatible they have failed for ppl so i wouldnt recommend updating your phone through OTA with cf root.
But if your a regular visitor to xda you can always apply the latest firmwares though ODIN as they become available and not worry about kies or OTA

Sorry for barging in, but.. really? S4 root = no updates? in the GN I remember getting updates regularly with root (before I went CM)
Cf-auto root, and reset device status to offical by triangle away in order to receive OTA, but you can just use odin to flash any firmware for update

Ota make sense if you are in region where ota first hit updates. For me it tames few weeks for official updates come to my carrier. Custom rom is great thing . In most cases you will see new updates here before ota hit your region
