Question, Have To Turn OFF OS Update??? - myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hello,
I flashed my phone to CM7 Version 2.3.2 and I love it. I have a question thu about tmobile sending an update to the phone.
Meaning,when tmobile decides to do a version update will it screw things up on my phone and if yes...how do I turn off version updates???
Thanks so much guys
Brian K

You shouldn't get any OTA updates with a custom ROM that isn't stock based.

ok...so to be clear. Your saying cause I already flashed my phone with CM7...that there is NO chance it will receive a update from tmobile....correct?
And thanks for taking out the time.

Does the TMo OTA update change the radio?

T-Mobile supposedly sent out an over the air update to correct a problem with missed calls.
Does anyone know how that works? Is there some way to get the correction if I am on CyanogenMod? Is it a radio update? If so what is the new radio version and how can I get it?
I ask because I keep on getting in trouble for not knowing that my wife tried to call me.

mine took an OTA update and it did change my radio
So you got an OTA update and it did update your radio. Are you using a stock ROM?

Samsung froyo update

I'm an ex T-mobile user with my rooted Vibrant uvij5 running on At&t. Will I be able to get the Froyo update via Kies stateside or will I need to make changes. I've waited waited for this update and don't want to miss out.

I would say update to an official release (JI6) to just be sure. So many ways to brick our phone so just take every precaution.

That's what I was going to suggest. . I updated my phone through Odin and had no issues at all... I'll probably do the same with froyo..

In my ROM manager it says my ota is not set up to receive updates. So that means i won't be getting froyo through a live over the air update will i? Btw i'm on an unlocked rooted vibrant.

If you are on AT&T like I was, I never received the ability to get the OTA update. I was able to get it by using Kies Mini at http://ars.samsung.com/customer/usa...ID=2&PROD_SUB_ID=557&PROD_ID=560&AT_ID=340607. This is for the JI6 update, I hope it works the same for Froyo.
Well i'm on my local which is cincinnati bell. Also how do i know if i have the JI6 update or the JF6? i'm sorry for so many questions but i'm fairfly new to developing and am trying to learn as much as i can because this forum has so much knowledge.
Just to bust everyones bubble, the update currently rolling out is only for the I9000 model(base model) and cannot run on US phones. And I don't see the US carriers releasing this anytime soon to us and they always take the slow road. At the moment I am thing that a mid November US carrier release sounds about right. But I really hope that I am wrong!!!!

I hope you are right and not wrong, I wouldn't mind the update in November because that's probably the quickest time, we will get it officially. (now to 10/31/2010 will be JI6 OTA, so november sounds good to me).
Since T-Mobile took its sweet time getting JI6 out, with no problems unlike what I heard about the Captivate update, then I wouldn't mind waiting for it to come out during the holidays.

I'm not sure which ROM Manager you're talking about. ..Never heard of setting which controls OTA updates. .. the best way of getting the update is through Odin in your case...

Once you open ROM manager there is a option that says "Check for ROM updates"
Under that it says "your ROM is not set up to reveive OTA updates. Please contact the ROM developer!" In those exact words down to the exclamation point.
That is for custom rom like cyanogen whenever it come out. The rom manager has no control over the stock rom

According to people, you should (assuming your t-mobile) but there is a high chance you might soft brick. Unroot yourself just to be safe when you do apply the update.

Since you're unlocked and not using the T-Mobile network, you won't be able to get T-Mobile's OTA updates but you can still update your phone officially by using Samsung Kies Mini (or if you're brave enough, you could be able to flash it with ODIN as soon as someone releases the update on the dev forums). ATM, I wouldn't be bothering with Froyo just yet since T-Mobile hasn't made a peep about it. I'll just wait for it to appear via Kies Mini (well, either that or just ODIN it).

A firmware update is available...

Hey everyone!
It's 5:47am on this Tuesday, November 9th, and I have a firmware update notification in the status bar.
What should I do?
Devs?

Are you running a custom Rom or stock? If stock, what is your current software and firmware version.

I'm running a custom rom, SlideMeRoot, with the first Mytouch Slide update applied.
Or SlideMeRoot is a version of the stock rom?
Then:
Firmware: 2.1-update1
Software number: 1.27.531.1
Images attached.
They are trying to give you the OTA. Don't take it if you like your root.

There hasn't been a text message sent out about any other updates. This is them trying to ruin your root access.

I also haven't heard about any privilege revocation updates in that case.
The OTA broke root for so many people it isn't funny.

Slidemeroot uses is older than ota, they are sending you the rom that cr modded(1.3.x). Upgrade to cr for new radio and it will go away.
Edit: read rest of your post,it may be a small hotfix, probably not 2.2 .Maybe 2.1.1

Sounds like you've got the OTA many of us have had for quite some time. Take a look at my signature; if your build resembles my current ROM it's an older OTA. Post some screen shots as you did earlier so we can see the change since you've updated. Thanks.

I've also had that update for quite some time.
So before anyone else suggests that very update again in this thread, bear that in mind.

Bear in mind the OTA update was more than just a radio upgrade ... which from your initial post appears to be the extent of the OTA you have had for quite some time. Interested to see the updated screen shots though ...

Dude (and everyone else who reads this thread), please -- I'm asking for guidance here.
So if you want me to do something, articulate what that is.
I will transfer the update from my phone and post it here, just tell me HOW.
Anything else you need: also articulate what that is and how.

It was more than a radio upgrade; it was also a fix for other slide conundrums.
So you want me to apply this OTA update and post screen shots?
Because that would be unwise for a rooted phone...

LG G2 - New Owner

Hello All!
I am going to be receiving my LG G2 (Verizon model) tomorrow. I couldn't be more excited! The phone is coming rooted and will have the hotspot provision in place. I have older phones rooted in the past, but have never "unrooted".
With the KitKat update coming soon - from what I understand... what will I need to do to update to KitKat without bricking my phone?
Factory reset? Unroot? This has me a little worried, being I haven't played with the phone much - yet. Hopefully you guys can help me out on what I've got myself into.
Thanks in advance!
I have the same-rooted and i am running a custom rom. I plan on waiting for a custom rom of the released official kit kat for verizon. I don't want all the extra "fluff" they push with it.

if you rooted, you can just freeze the update with TiBu (its called "software update..")
if u Verizon then I would keep this handy

Assuming TiBu is Titanium Backup?
Also is anyone aware of Verizon unrooting videos?
Does the phone brick just when it receives the OTA notification or only when trying to install it (in all variants of the G2)?

Help with December security update

Hey all, sorry for the newb question but how can I install the new December security update on a stock rooted pure?
I just got the ota pop up today but haven't tried anything. It's been a while so having a brain fart on how to update with a rooted phone and all that.
Thanks for any feedback. Once someone mentions it I'm sure it'll all come back to me (I hope).
