Guys the OTA update For The latest update I.e. 12.0.A.2.245 is now available in around 70mb file package.
And best part Of OTA update is that you will not loose the root access like you loose the root in the update through pc companion.
I m from india and is on. 257 update
If you have unlocked boot loader DO NOT UPDATE OVER THE AIR YOU WILL BRICK THE DEVICE.

I live in Greece and i'm still on .257... Cannot install any updates and that sucks...
i wasn't eather, not trough the pc companion at least. if you're not sim locked just download global .245 package or german one perhaps, find it in a forum, and flash it via flashtool.

hi, where i find global generic .245
Thanks
i must confess I used the German one, but pretty much any .245 would work as long as it is for your specific model, 502 or 503, and if you do not mind using english in your device. 'cause no matter what region is intended for you can chose english for the device language.
Tried OTA update but installation failed. Not sure if is due to me removing the bloatware previously

As long you have rooted your phone whether locked or unlocked bootloader, OTA fails.

Ota will fail if you have changed anything in your system folder ie removed bloat ware, deodexed etc

I'm in the UK and I already received an Ota update

I would like to install CM11 but then unroot after I have it... but keep the functionality of CM11. Is this possible? I know someone is going to ask why.... so I will let you know... it is so that I can also attach to work via mobile iron (which prevents access if it detects root).
So... is this possible?
Never really tried that?? In TW you could just use supersu to unroot and (obviously) lose access to apps that require it. In AOSP the Superuser has a spot to disable it.......
that may work if its not active?
no idea just my 2 cents

Dont think you'll be able to since su is baked in! Even if you disable it I'm pretty sure root will be detected! I tried this with a direct TV app that would DL from my DVR to my phone and no matter what I tried it detected root! And even going to a tw ROM and unrooting it still detected the custom status iny phone! And that's a little direct TV app!

some idea;
1. clear cache/data of google play service + play.store + play.game
and force stop them.
2. do 1 and restart
3. if problem remains factory reset ur phone.
4. if factory reset doesn work try to flash 4.4.2 of another region by Odin.
:good:
Didn't work
I have to try factory reset ?

Just to add.
When u receive ota update for different version (e.g 4.3 to 4.4, or maybe next time to key lime pie ... if got the chance), try to factory reset.
It will help to stabilize nd optimize all the changes to all apps on ur newer base.

Smart stay option not working well.....notifications bar not show smart stay eye........n default path is very typical. ...

Well this avaliable on Z2 after 4.4.4
I discovered that when I updated my phone to lollipop
If we could access to update center we could update our phones by putting our rom in folder "recovery" in the internal memory
Aslo fast boot could work with LB but I didn't try to flash using it.

Its nice, but whats with locking bootloader? Does we need that in future?
