I searched and found no answer. My Vibrant is just rooted to turn off the boot up and turn off sounds. Nothing else has done, is the OTA safe for my phone?

There are reports that it works with RyanZA's lag fix and root in some instances.
There are reports that the OTA update bricks even virgin stock phones, so it is a shot in a dark.
Personally I think I'm gonna wait till some one uploads the update and does some testing to see what is making the phone soft brick .

Root is ok but you will have to undo any lagfixes if you applied them.
It will most likely unroot your device but you can use the same method to root again.

Not to be a downer but not necessarily. I was rooted with no lag fix (currently or prior) at all and it soft bricked my phone. I had the Samsung AP installed but that is about it, didn't remove bloatware or change the startup/shutdown sounds.
Got the phone running again with ODIN so I am back to stock now, without the update

does the virgin stock phones mean that it is unrooted or nothing is changed in the out of the box phone?
No Success Here
My Rooted Vibrant that also went through OCLF failed to boot and hung on the Vibrant splash screen. Had to use Odin and the stock build to get it back and running. Thankful I had made backups prior to trying the OTA.
I've since renamed /etc/system/otacerts.zip to stop the OTA update but I would love to get rid of the OTA update icon. Anyone have any ideas?
mine was rooted with just the ji6 modem flashed from odin.. and some other mods like mobile ap and metamorph..
so i got the update.. and it failed on install... ahhh.... flashed back pure stock on odin.. waaaaiiitning.. praying it comes back again!
Stock phone, rooted with no lagfix ever applied.
Phone is toast. I'm at work so waiting for Odin to download slowly so I can reflash the phone to stock.
Might just say skip it and apply one of the custom roms. It seems neither TMO or Samsung can get their **** together. I waited patiently for the OTA and got screwed.
Updated ok with root
My phone had the OCLF v 2.1 plus root installed. Yesterday I removed the lag fix since most folks recommended this prior to updating. Crossed my fingers and hoped my update would arrive soon.
Today my update arrived. It installed with no issues, after which my phone is still rooted. It did pause for several minutes at the Galaxy S screen, I was wondering if I had bricked it but I waited and it came through ok.
I'm not planning to reinstall the lag fix anytime soon as I don't notice that much of a change - except in the Quadant scores ;-)

That's what I ended up doing. I didn't want to potentially wait until the end of October so I just went ahead and flashed Bionix. I don't think I'm going back to stock ever.

How many "minutes" did you wait? The notice before the update said it would take 10 minutes. I'm willing to wait, but not all night
The update portion with a status bar went my pretty quickly. My phone's been sitting on "Vibrant" for about 5 minutes and I'm starting to sweat.
I had been rooted and had OCLF but reversed both before applying the update. I also had the mobile AP, customized swype skin and custom battery meter but everything else was stock.

i want to remove mobile AP just incase that is what is causing the soft bricks. ive noticed many people have problems have flashed the mobile ap. is there a way to remove with like uninstalling an application?
--without odin or flashing back to stock
I was rooted and removed some of the Samsung bloatware apps such as MediaHub etc...saw the update was available this morning and started it, phone was stuck on the Samsung Vibrant screen ever since. I put in for a replacement, could probably fix it with ODIN but new phone should be here tomorrow. I was actually having issues before that, so it could have been the phone itself...no way to be 100% sure.
For the people who had issues with their OTA, did you have a file named update.zip previously on the /sdcard directory? It's the only thing I can think of that might interfere with the OTA download, causing it to truncate. Phone is recovered and re-rooted, but the Update Firmware shows no update available. I'm going to Odin flash the 9-28 JI6 image.
That is what I am thinking as well. I have removed the update.zip from the internal storage now. The OTA is here and I postponed for a day just to be safe. I really need the GPS fix.

fine over here
My phone is rooted with RyanZA's one click lag fix and the update worked fine for me. I've never removed bloatware or anything though. Total I think it took about 8 minutes from start to finish.
I received the update this morning but my battery was below 10% and said I need more juice in order to install. I recharged and it kept saying the same thing after postponing a couple times. I restarted my phone and all works good now.
I'm noticing very good improvements in signal strength and flawless gps now. Maybe a speed increase also? I'm not sure about the speed thing just yet. Seems a bit snappier to me.
Lost Root
I updated to JI6 using odin based on the info in android development section, and I most definitely lost root.
Trying one click root/unroot to see if I can get root back

Using the recovery mode / update.zip (the classic root method) worked for me after Odin flashing JI6.
Just got a system update notification... taking forever to install... anyone know what it entails?
Edit: SO I see that Sprint ID / EW!!!) was installed, and my Firmware is 2.2.1, and baseband is S: P100.08 S: EB28, and Build is SPH-P100.EB28...
Problem is, I can't remember if that's new or not...lol. Damn me for not paying attention, and DAMN ME for thinking that the possibility of a HC release was possible... stupid hopes and dreams....
Edit II: Just found this report... compared to the rest of the updates, the SGT got the short end of the stick YET AGAIN!!!

"The Samsung Galaxy Tab update adds Sprint ID features."
I updated also and 2.2.1 is new, also ot updated the modem as seen by hitting the soft menu key during the update and looking under about phone, baseband. I would like to see if the update package had a whole modem.bin in ot but i installed the update before I got the temp file. The last update only had a modem file of a few kbytes so it just patched the modem. It would be great to get hold of a whole modem.bin as there are none for the sprint tab currently.
Sent from my SPH-P100 using XDA App
I was just going to as if anyone was able to grab the modem.bin. Hopefully we get luck and someone is able to do so.
What about root status? I'm hesitant to update if it breaks root because of the issues I've had with the stock gallery app (removed it via a root file explorer).
I updated my rooted Gtab and the root seems unaffected. I use mine without a data pack - wifi only. I used the root to get rid of the activation nagger in the notification bar - and it's still gone and SuperUser is still operating.
However: Sprint ID only works through a Sprint Subscriber Data Pack - not over WiFi, unless you have a company "Keyword". Alas - I don't like Sprint ID anyway.
sprint tv
i installed the "sprint" id, and it says in the description about sprint tv. i had this on the evo, but i feel like i'd make better use of it on a 7 inch screen. any ideas how to get it on the tab? i searched the market under the sprint tab and had no luck finding it.. any suggestion would be great
I got the OTA shortly after trying to install clockwork and patching an overclocked kernel. I wasn't expecting the OTA until Monday, but I went ahead and try to install it (it failed, of course).
I managed to pull the downloaded zip file out of my cache and check if there was a modem.bin. Unfortunately, once again, there's only a modem_delta.bin, so no luck there.
I tried running the update again manually after rolling back my kernel, and apparently I still had a modified boot.img, so after doing a full wipe, rolling back to DJ30, and then manually updating to EA24, I was able to get the EB28 update installed, with all of its Sprint ID goodness. It's very late now so I don't have time to actually play with it much, but I'm actually happy to be back to an official build. I'm hoping they fixed a few of the bigger issues I had with EA24, but I somehow doubt it.
Previously I was rooted and had the Bauxite kernel. I flashed the original kernel back and then installed the EB28 update. I lost root, so I tried superoneclick again. It said it rooted but superoneclick locked up while "Remounting system with read-only access..." My tab is unresponsive but the buttons are still lit up.
Update: I finally got it to reboot and I am rooted again.

Would you mind attaching your file for the original kernel? I forgot to make a backup when flashing Bauxite.

I applied the update last night and can confirm that root is still intact, so the super one click method should still work if you haven't rooted your tab prior to this update.
Unfortunately, what is also intact is my long standing issue with the stock Gallery app (rogue sensor usage causing massive battery drain). Ah well, removed with Titanium backup, replaced with Just Pictures, problem fixed. Again.
Other than the addition of Sprint ID, this seems to be a pretty minor update. Could be my imagination, but it seems a tad snappier than the EA24 update. Could be the incremental increase to Android 2.2.1. But other than Sprint ID, there are no major new features.

Thanks for the useful info. I was hesitant to run the update after the previous hassles. I've just updated mine without any noticeable detrimental effect.

Root was not intact for me after upgrade. I tested with root explorer, and font changer. Both failed after trying to get root permission. I just used SOC after upgrade. All was good...

Thanks I really appreciate it!
I was previously rooted with SuperOneCLick (rageagainstthecage method). I did not unroot prior to the upgrade. The upgade said it failed but a look at About Phone proved otherwise. I would suggest that people unroot before the upgrade but it did not matter for me.
After the update I no longer had root access. But I was able to root with SuperOneClick again. I have had no problems since the upgrade/reroot. There are no interface differences that I have spotted so far.
Can someone please post the application name for the Sprint ID so I can remove it. I had gotten rid of all the Bloatware and now after this update I get this which I will not use.
By the way I was rooted with Super One Click and using the Once Click lag Fix and after update I did lose Root. Just re-rooted and am fine now. Got scared because the orientation was not working and I thought it broke it. Sohow the update set the orientation lock.
Also I deleted a couple files hoping these were the new Sprint ID update.
Does anyone know what they are and if I need them can somone please post them? I will take the best guess of what I remember them being called.
Perhaps someone can post there Sprint file names.

Can someone post the update.zip for the update? I got the OTA notification but when it attempted to install (using Stock recovery), it failed, somehow.
Thanks in advance.
I need the update.zip as well.
Hell, mine still tries to update my tab to EA24 which always failed. Can't even get the notification for 28. Time to go to Sprint and raise some hell....

My sprint galaxy tab was updated the EB28 the day I got it (two days ago), today I was trying to get CWM on the tab, got stuck at Samsung screen, so I used odin and flashed back to DJ30 (without baseband, which is already at EB28) and have been trying to get back to EB28 since.
Can any of you kind gentlemen who updated to EB28 do a roto backup and upload the file? I think this is the only way I can get back into EB28 at the moment.
Many thanks!
I've been searching the net for the past few days and can't find anything specific to my issue. I'm hoping one of you guys can help me out, or at least point me in the right direction.
I'm currently on 98.15.66.xt907.en.us and I've gotten the OTA message, but any attempt to update fails. I had some bloatware frozen, so I unfroze it, pretty much back to stock, but the OTA update still fails. I have always been rooted, and I attempt to protect the root with Voodoo.
Yesterday, I took the further step of UNLOCKING my bootloader. So, now I'm unlocked, rooted, and I'm running TWRP 2.5 for recovery.
Here's what happens now, if i attempt to install the OTA. The file downloads, it reboots my phone, which immediately launches into TWRP. I don't really know what I'm supposed to do at this point, so I just click "Reboot system".
It gets stuck in a boot loop...it loads all the way up, but goes back to "Shutting down" (assuming to perform the OTA upgrade again) within a minute or so.
At this point, I have to do a Restore in TWRP to make my phone stop looping.
What I would like to do is get the upgrade to 98.18.78 and be on my merry way. I can't seem to find the OTA file for download, so I can attempt to install it in TWRP. Not even sure if that's possible.
Any help would be hugely appreciated.

I would NOT accept the OTA - the main purpose is to install a security patch to prevent you from unlocking the bootloader.

I was under the impression that once the Bootloader was unlocked it could never be "re-locked". Are you saying that's not the case? My BL is currently unlocked. But, I would like the bug fixes that come with the OTA update.

correct. however, in accepting the OTA, the phone tries to enter it's own recovery, and since you have replaced it, you are getting the error picture.
I think I read somewhere that some got a hold of the updated radio, so you can flash that if you like. but otherwise, no "real" bug fixes.

Actually, not exactly the case. Since we haven't had something like this (retail phone getting unlocked by exploit) involving moto phones, we don't know that it can't be relocked. For all we know, moto could OTA an update to the bootloader that makes it ignore the fuse entirely. We just don't know. Hence the warning about taking OTAs

so you have costom recovery you will get the ota but you will be unable to install it, if you use jest a root and have stock recovery - you fine and will get the ota.

you right.
if you use stock recovery you will get OTAs
if its stock and merely rooted then OTA should work
For the OTA to be accepted, you'll need the stock recovery for your device. Rename it to recovery.img (if it already isn't named that) and then move it to sdcard root (/sdcard).
Now, use a terminal emulator (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jackpal.androidterm&hl=en) and open a command prompt. The command we're using has two parameters. The the "if" parameter refers to your input file, in this case, this is the recovery.img file you moved to your sdcard root to flash. This could be any recovery (TWRP, CWM, stock, etc). The "of" parameter is the output file and is the actual physical path to the recovery image your device uses. At the command prompt type this:
Code:
su
dd if=/sdcard/recovery.img of=/dev/block/platform/msm_sdcc.1/by-name/recovery
If you already have the stock recovery then all you need to do is press "Accept" or "OK" or whatever the dialog asks when it pops up letting you know about the update. I'm not sure if the stock recoveries are different for each carrier, so you'll have to find that yourself.
Edit: By the time I finished typing this I see that you already are on stock recovery, so you should be good to go
Idk mines flashed to stock and rooted

Just bought a g2 and am thinking of rooting to enable the auto hide of the on screen menu buttons. So correct me if im wrong but if all i do is root, leave the stock rom and do nothing apart from root i will still get ota updates.
But the update can remove root right? So is there any way I can keep my phone from automatically updating and losing root? I don't want to lose root... Mainly cuz i love not having software keys.

Try the above or remove/freeze whatever the apk your carrier uses for the OTA. There's a couple threads around with more info.

Another question: (don't want to start a thread for this)
If you have custom recovery (In my case TWRP) when an OTA lands, obviously I won't be able to accept it.
I'll need to flash it through TWRP correct?
If this is the case will this simply apply as OTA's do and not delete any of my data on the phone etc?
Also is there a stock recovery I can download just to make things easier??
First time I've had a phone rooted and with recoverybefore it's update cycle is over, and Google isn't really being all that helpful
How to backup stock recovery?
I just picked up the G2 two days ago and rooted pretty much immediately (via ioroot10) but other than that, I'm still running completely stock. I saw some recent posts stating that it was now possible to install TWRP or CWM on the D80010o firmware, so I decided I would go ahead and take the OTA update and then install a custom recovery. However, I have tried install the OTA several times now and every time, when the phone reboots after downloading the update, I get error "0x1117008" when the OTA tries to install, and then the phone reboots to system and I get a popup stating something to the effect of "This device is suspected of rooting. Software updates will not be available for rooted devices." Checking the software version I see that I'm still on D80010d and the 10o OTA update is still available and has to be downloaded again.
Anyone else have this issue?
And no, I have not installed a custom recovery yet.

Nice to see you here dude.. may remember me from the rocket? Anyways, i'd just skip the OTA. It's nothing life changing. I'm still stock/rooted on 10d. Waiting for bugs to get squashed on 4.4.2 before I start flashing. Rather enjoying stock for the time being. Not really sure why 10o won't take. Haven't seen anyone else mention this. The only thing that has been brought up repeatedly is bootloops in twrp after taking the 10o OTA.

I am having the same error but don't remember seeing the same pop-up, just says install failed or something like that. I'm on Verizon stock Rom rooted. I've done plenty of mods by manually pushing them through, but I have the stock recovery and no custom recovery.... So safe to say, looks like you can't update with root. Gonna start searching for unroot then re root after update is installed. Doesn't seem like there is another way to do it. Anybody know if the temp unroot via superuser apk will work?

I am still investigating. I've unrooted via Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper and a little extra housekeeping, and the Rooting Status does show "unrooted" in the About Phone section. However I still get 0x1117008 when trying to install the OTA. So perhaps the "unrooted" in About Phone may be a prerequisite, but is not sufficient for a successful OTA update. Maybe either the update is doing more checks for rooting evidence than the RCT daemon, or perhaps there is some other change that is triggering the error.
I just received notification on my phone that there is a new software update. I didn't, nor can i install it because I've removed all of the bloat ware and rooted the phone, and installed TWRP. I'm already on 21q so this must be something newer that AT&T is pushing out. Anyone else get the OTA?
Ahh, it is more security updates. It brings the software version to 21r. It came out on September 10th. They probably patched the ability to root it. Lol

I think you're right, I went back to stock "D" and then took all updates. I didnt like what I saw so went back to stock "D" and now I cant root with any method. My Recent apps is now in a thumbnail format instead of tabs.... not sure there is anything I can do to root.
The Root.bat seems to work but then just hangs at the LG screen and never boots.

I was able to root 21q. I'm not going beyond that if you had issues after updating it.

I'll keep you posted I'm still playing
UPDATE: after a few tries I was able to stump root "D" once again. I'll install TWRP and a ROM and leave it at that
I think the stupid update tried to install itself without any interaction from me. I had my phone laying next to me on the desk and heard the AT&T jingle playing. I turned to look at it and was rebooting. After it rebooted, a box was up on the screen saying that there was suspicion of my phone being rooted and that it wouldn't install. Fine by me.
Pretty sure this is the patch for the stagefright vulnerability.
