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!

Just to clarify I'm not talking about flashing the leaked Chinese rom, but the ota released yesterday

3.1 ota
I installed the update today, and works fine.

Those interested in getting back their OTA, properly backing up their original ROMS or restoring them, please follow the tutorials in this thread:

ROMs and DEVs

So forgive me for rlbeing "that guy" but I think other people are wondering the same.
I'll try and keep this post updated with links to any ROMs and DEV Twitter/Gootle+/GITHub info so we can keep an eye on development. But first we need to know what DEVs we have on board and any current projects.
DEVs:
Known ROMs/Projects:
timbrendelaz - System Dump (Link Please?)
JackpotClavin - CWM
Remember, most projects linked in this thread are likely highly volatile to flash, so please be diligent and read the thread before using anything linked.
Note: If I'm lacking on keeping this updated and you are interested in taking over the thread please let me know. I want this to be as open and helpful to our users as possible.

I've got a system dump and I'm currently working on a ROM based on that. It wont be able to be flashed easily by the masses without CWM but I know that also is a work in progress. I will keep ya'lls updated on my progress which is slow at the moment because my wife is very pregnant

Hoping to see this grow too! , I am about to buy a Kindle Fire and to root it, hopfully some DEVS will help make this a great device

Is anyone interested in also working on usb cable triggered fastboot? IMO it's the biggest blocker for custom recovery & rom development
possibile alternative is to flash a u-boot that always enters fastboot (just for devel purposes).. well, but really it's jsut a different risk of bricking

yeah i'd be interested in that i pm'd you

Sorry for the long wait for an update, busy with the family. I'm going to be scouring the Android Development forum to add more to the list.

Just received an update!

Version is now LG6. I'm in the uk. As usual no change log.

Hey, I have something for you.

as mentiond in the other thread OTA fails on rooted devices Kies works fine though.
Had to reapply CF root after update. Now time to expolore new features and work out how to restore unified search. I don't use it, I just want to stick it to apple.

So is the update good or bad? Should I update?

I would just go to the thread in the Original Development section on this forum, follow the direct link and download the latest nightly - I have experience with other devices but, after die research on here, bought my S4 this evening and had CM running ten minutes after I got home.

Now as far as any OTA updates i want/need, what is the protocol in getting them?

You can't get them on a custom rom
I forget what I read on a custom recovery and rooted--getting older--
I think you need to go back to stock--someone can confirm
I haven't Googled that yet either
There were some rootkeeper apps that were used on my other phones, don't know what works here
I never took OTA's after rooted and flashing my other phones as dev's seemed to have updates faster than my carrier

Generally, the newer firmware versions that get pushed out as OTA updates will be incorporated into custom Touchwiz roms, such as ShoStock and Mint Jelly. However, if you flash CyanogenMod or any other AOSP-based rom such as SlimBean or AOKP, OTA updates will be completely meaningless. It's a different world altogether.
Either way, my advice is the same: Don't mess with OTA's. At best, they could give you the same features as a custom rom. At worst, they could kill the Loki exploit and lock your bootloader for good.
