New ota update has anyone flashed?

Has anyone actually flashed the new ota that has come out on a stock non rooted device. I've seen that its floating around although I haven't seen any conformation that people have successfully flashed it and that it works.

Would like to know if it can be applied to a rooted iconia or if I should unroot first.

It's an incremental, not a full ROM. It should work fine rooted, but if you've altered, frozen, renamed or deleted ANY original files, it will fail.

See I haven't rooted at all and have the version 1.141.07 so it should be okay to update right? The worst thatll happen is it fails to install and I just go back to what I had before correct?

That is correct.

So just to confirm I wont lose my current data?

Not if you flash the FOTA when your tablet notifies you, no.

Ah I know that, I'm talking about flashing the one posted on the forums

It's a full ROM. When flashing a full ROM, it's always best to wipe data first. You can try without doing that; it might be fine, it might not.
Worst that can happen is you'd have to go back into recovery and wipe.
Do a backup first, a nandroid one in case you want to rollback, and a Titanium one for your apps and data for easy reinstallation.

Hmm, I thought the one on the forum was an incremental to 3.1?

Hi All
I've also got the system prompt to update to 1.141.07 (39.71MB). I have not rooted and have three numpty questions-
1.This I understand is not the Honeycomb 3.1 update?
2.Also I'm in the UK and got my Iconia in the USA- that does not have any effect on updating does it? I mean setting wise?- (dumb but I'm being very cautious!)
3.The Wifi issue people are having with this update is related to ROOTED tablets?
Cheers all

I was rooted and I flash the full from everything is working fine right now!

DROID2 Gingerbread Update

Some users report that the OTA update (Android 2.3.3) is live right now.
Check your updates Settings>About phone>System updates and report issues.

It is, got it last night on the wife's D2.
Have they rooted it yet? I need to get titanium backup on there and restore her apps, she's freaking out!

Yes just use droid 3 method

Sadly, this didn't work for me. Has the droid 3 method worked for anyone else?

It didn't work for you? Did you follow the instructions correctly? No one has reported any problems with it so far
Sent from my DROID2 GLOBAL running Leaked Rooted Gingerbread!

Had to try it twice, first time didn't recognize it. Worked fine.

Working great for me. I SBF'd back to stock from the gingerbread leak, downloaded and installed the update over wifi in about 10 minutes. Rooted using the D3 method and flashed the latest CM7GB. Working like a boss.

Ran it several times, I see the SU binary in the system/bin directory and busybox, but barnacle and titanium are unable to obtain root.
Well I changed the script from xbin to bin and it seems to work now. Still unable to get Barnacle going, but closer.

That figures. Day after i leave big red and get my g2x, gb goes live for the d2 lol. niiiiice

This worked for me to root after the OTA.

How come says its rooted but when I use WiFi tether it says I'm not
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium

Go to your app drawer and look for a skull and crossbones Superuser app. Click it and see if you can add wifi tether to the list. If that icon is not there, you're not rooted.

It's there but when I press to turn it on it says I'm not rooted
Sent from my PC36100 using xda premium

I would run one click root again, if that does not work, SBF back to stock and then re-flash GB OTA and root once more.

Gingerbread sprint update

I just bought a galaxy tab for my daughter. (sprint version) i try to update firmware and its says update failed. Can i download up the gingerbread update directly?
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App

If it is active on the Sprint network then it should just download the update in the background and give a prompt after, asking if you want to install now. Make sure it is fully charged or it won't let you install right away.

Im unable to flash roms right now. Can i download it direct?
Sent from my PG86100 using XDA App

You'll have to use a computer and Odin or Heimdall to flash it to any of the stock EF17 (Gingerbread) files listed in the link above. The only way you can download it directly to the Tab and Update would be the stock files, and those should pull down automatically when connected (if it's not already updated.) I can post the individual Sprint updates if you want to maintain 100% stock, but need to know what release you're on currently.

Ok ill check when i get home. It is rooted could that be why im not getting the ota? Also could i activate it through sprint for a day just to get the ota? Its for my daughter i dont care if lose root

After Odin back, go to system updates and update profile. I did this and got the update about 3 minutes later. Could be coincidence, but it can't hurt to try

If your stock, just download the update directly from google. Put it on your sd card and boot into stock recovery and run it. It is essentialy the same thing as the ota.

Thanks! I have updated my profile a few times with no result. Maybe I'll try putting the file on my card. Thank you again!

Sounds about like here
We have the same situation. My wife got it today(didnt do the update) downloaded it went to CWM recovery and then the update of course failed. Now the update zip isnt even on her sdcard anymore. Is everything updated with the zip( such as kernel,modem, and rom etc.) or just the rom and modem.

I just downloaded, renamed to update. Powered off and booted in to stock recovery. Ran the zip and....wait for it...I have EI22! Thank you for your help!! Now time to root

Good luck with rooting your phone you will need it.

Its easy now. Just flash the clockwork tar in odin, and don't boot the system because when you shut it down, you'll lose your root. You need to flash a kernel, like nubernal or house of samurai to get it to stick.

Is there a one click root for EI22 like EC05?
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium

No one click root is out for EI22, as far as I am aware of
From stock EC05, I just used odin to update the modem from ec05 to ei22, then used the one click root to install CWM 3.0.0.1, then used CWM to install my fav EI22 ROM

Won't work since you're rooted. You're going to have to wait until someone patches it up to be CWM flashable.
