Hi guys today I got the notification of new JB for device XT925 vodafone
the OTA package is 98.21.27002.en.FR (53.3mb) i guess it's JB 4.1.2
I tried to update after securing root with voodoo root keeper, I get error during update installation.
anyone with one idea?
I have JB 4.1.1 (98.1.18002.XT925.Vodafone.en.FR)
I suspect busybox is interfering installation, but not sure, I don't have a custom recovery yet.
Anyone successfully have this version rooted?
I've read that if you have any frozen or deleted system apps, it can interfere with official updates in the way you describe.

This thread describes my problem, I can't take the OTA update. Thing is, I haven't deleted any of the stock SFR apps or bloatware.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Hi,
Did you sort out your problem? I'm facing the same one don't have any idea why does it fail.
Thanks,
Dawid

I have just received an OTA update to 2.3.6. I have been connecting my Note to my laptop using Kies for the last few days to see if it was available that way but there was no mention of an update. So I was pleased when I did an update check using Settings on my phone and discovered one was available OTA. It is good getting OTA updates just like on the Nexus One so there is no risk of installing the wrong firmware or making a mistake using Kies.
So what difference does the update make?
received my note yesterday and had OTA 2.3.6 XXKKA also 15 megs size.
also interested to know the differences
i bought from carphonewarehouse and got OTA 2.3.6 this morning too.
ps. its stock phone with no root.
So this removes root and CWM?
Edit: apparently root and apps are not touched on this update according to the other thread about this.
Just downloaded and install failed, it said to try using kies...

Have the same. It failed to update, said to try by kies. I also have rooted stock ROM.
Maybe we should unroot ?

That may be the case, so I'll probably do this later today since it's almost 3am. I don't want to set everything up tonight.
Or we can just wait for a custom ROM that will have the update.
Edit: I don't understand though why people who are rooted in the other thread got it to work.

Thanks for the thread! I've nicely updated my phone
Also got 2.3.6 OTA today. Phone is from the Polish Plus+ telco. Seems much snappier all around. Will be interesting to see if battery life improves too. Also the stylus seems more accurate but it's hard to say...
Bring on ICS!
mine fails the wifi update. tried 3 times. my phone is rooted.
fire up kies and says that kj4 is the latest
perhaps its to do with the method you used for rooting.
iirc, there are a couple of different root methods, some of them seem to affect the tamper counter (cant think of what its really called). maybe the update is only available for those who still have the counter at 0?
dont quote me on this though, im still a nubblet on the tweaking side of android.

It seems rooting has nothing to do with it. I've rooted by the CF-Root method 2.
Maybe any other changes make the problem (theme mods ?)

No I had to revert back to the stock theme since the dialer had problems. Worst case scenerio I may have to wait for a custom ROM, maybe ill try updating through kies later.

I rooted my note with Chainfire's tutorial using the zergrush method and installed the new KKA kernel.
My phone downloaded this new update but failed to flash it on reboot. I think I'll just wait and see if Chainfire releases his own version or there is a rom with it built in.
Hi guys, I'd just like to know whether or not your Nexus 7 can still update normally i.e Settings>About Tablet>System Updates if it has a unlocked bootloader and custom recovery. Just like to know in advance before I install Clockwork Mod. Thanks in advance.
Once unlocked & rooted- install the app OTA RootKeeper- it's free in the Google Play store.
It's lets you temporarily un-root for OTA updates- then easily re-root after the update's done.
root keeper only works on minor updates. And does not work correctly for all devices . I do not see why google would root app checks before allowing a update. and have the updates to skip the apps you removed. I hope anyway. Acer is a basket case when it comes to ota updates. everything has to be exact as it was bought no frozen removed apps no root .
grrrrr its mine let me do what i wish with it .
Anything right now is only a guess as the device is quite new.

Thanks, but would an ota update install through a custom recovery normally, or would I have to get the zip file off xda manually and do it myself

This method would allow you to get the updates over the air like normal through settings, about phone. But you may need to install a custom recovery afterwards.
However since you're rooted you'll have the opportunity of getting software before the OTA stuff comes out most likely.
My advice would be that even though you can do it that way, you don't have a reason too and you're better off not doing it that way unless a specific reason that you need to comes up.
Deciding whether or not I will dev on this ... liking the stock experience on this device. Probably will root so I can make a custom kernel and ROM. Thanks for your help guys!

According to this IBT Blog, restoring to stock ROM is mandatory for receiving the upcoming OTA update to 4.2.
Does any one know if this is true, as the last OTA update to 4.1.2 automatically launched and completed just fine on my N7 in its rooted state?

I think you're confusing running the stock rom and being rooted. One can be rooted while still running the stock rom. If this is the case, you should have no problem receiving the OTA update. On the other hand, if you loaded a custom rom (e.g., CyanogenMOD), you won't get the OTA update.

Am I still able to get the OTA update, if I'm on Stock rooted, but modify the system to have tablet UI?
If not, what will be my option, to update the tablet? I guess manually pushing the Rom might work, but a reassuring would be good

I haven't messed around with modifying the UI, but I have replaced and disabled system apps in the past, and that stops the OTA from installing (it will download the OTA, but the install will fail). I suspect it's possible that the same thing will happen with a modified UI, but I'm not 100% sure. What is the process for modifying the UI? Did you replace certain files? If so, hopefully you saved the original versions and can revert back to the originals.

Can you keep us updated here if you decide to try and install the OTA update while in tablet UI? i would be interested as well if it will update

If all you did was change the dpi then yes it wont matter your build.prop is going to be overwritten anyways

Of course, but I think I will wait the update before doing anything, that's just more convenient

No, I don't wan to replace anything, only modify the build.prop to have a different density setting.

I do know the difference between Stock ROM vs. Stock ROM + Rooted -- but I had just read the IBT blog too fast and plus I implicitly assume that folks who use custom ROM would just wait until their particular custom ROM rolls onto 4.2 base, to realize that folks with custom ROM is the target audience of the IBT blog.
So its safe to update via ota if your on stock rooted? Ive seen people saying its fine but on my old atrix I was warned it would brick my device.

My N7 went through the last update just fine (other than getting un-rooted).
Just got home with a brand new P3113 running JB 4.1.1. I saw a notification symbol I hadn't seen on the one I had just returned, a garnet red p3113 that was also running 4.1.1. It says "Software update - confirm that you have read and understood the..." and when I select it it asks me what country I'm in, then asks me to accept Samsung's terms and conditions for Software update.
So, I assume this is an OS update (have never had a Samsung phone or tab before). Anyone know what it is? 4.1.2? 4.2.1? Is this really brand new as of today? Anyone else gotten it?
I didn't go ahead with it as I want to be sure I don't end up not being able to root or anything. Any reason not to do it?
ETA: How do you take a screenshot so I can take one of my current firmware?
power + volume down
That is may be 4.1.2
We wont be getting 4.2 that easily

So I should have no future problems updating to (presumably) 4.1.2 as far as rooting and custom ROMs?
Yes , There are workaround methods to OTA update your device even after rooting , do search general thread and u will find one

Thanks but I'm not rooted yet. What I'm wanting to be sure of is that if I take the OTA now, before rooting, that I will be able to root on whatever the new version turns out to be. I haven't found any documentation on what this OTA is.
I thought there would be more interest that there is an OTA for a P3113 running 4.1.1 since I didn't find anything about it and the Tab I just exchanged didn't get the notification so it must be a brand new OTA.
Hey everyone,
Here's my situation. I updated my unrooted phone to AT&T's 4.3 update as soon as it became available. But as many of you know, the update was quite buggy. Which is why they postponed it and then later released MK2.
Well me, being my impatient self, rooted my phone while running MJ9 and manually removed a lot of AT&T blotware using titanium backup.
My question is, am I forever stuck with running MJ9? I know safestrap isn't available for 4.3 and from what I've read it doesn't look possible. I wouldn't mind unrooting, installing the new update, and then rooting again. But because of all the apps I've deleted I doubt it will let me.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated... Thanks!

Follow this guide by gtj0 flash the emergency mf3 files and it'll give you back the apps you deleted. Follow everything step by step and after you get back onto mj9 sideload mk2 than you'll have mk2.
