I have in the past but I think it varies ... all in all ... its best to update them before you root. after that don't mess with it. its possible to do it but its also possible that your phone will brick or lose root or act up. it should go with the same rule as updating software.

Profile and PRL shouldn't mess with root. Any hotspot mods might have to be repeated though.

You disable the packages that update both.... otherwise, you may end up in a boot loop

Android 2.3.2 System Update

I just got a prompted notification that 2.3.2 system update is now downloaded and verified in my phone. Just need to go ahead and ok the install/update on my phone. Not sure if most or all are getting this?
Should I? LOL
more info:
"Android 2.3.2
601kb
This system update from Google contains important bug fixes."
Go for it.
This is probably the update that includes the major SMS bug fix. Samsung posted to their official twitter account that and update to address that is coming very soon.
It looks like v2.3.2 is the one.
Funny thing though, I never had problems with the SMS bug. I have sent/received SMS (2k+). And when I got the notification, I just pulled the battery off to check my S/N to register in the Samsung website. LOL
Is there any other bug/fixes with this updates other than the SMS bug?
If you're rooted, you might want to wait and see if it's safe to do it (ie., doesn't break root) unless you're confident on how to get it back. The last update screwed with Recovery and gave some people some slight grief for a short period.
Just rooted
Wouldn't you know it? After I just finish rooting using the step by step guide, the first thing that pops up is that there is an update to install. So my question is, will installing this update kill my root? Or any other negative consequences for my newly-rooted SNS if I update to 2.3.2?
Just rebooted after update, seems that at least the browser got some kind of lagfix, for example www.n4g.com.
"Your system is currently up to date."
hmmm.... what about people on Custom ROMS ?
i check the Settings > About > System Updates
and there's nothing it says
"Your system is currently up to date."
Without thinking I chose to install it while being rooted and not backing up. After it rebooted it froze (when it couldn't find a recovery I'm guessing.) I pulled the battery, let it reboot, and I'm still 2.3.1 and rooted. Just FYI

Often one have to wait untill the devs implement the update into the custom rom.
Generally once you're on a custom rom, you're best to wait for the rom dev to give you guidance.

Not sure without being able to open the update file and see what it actually does.
IF you're going to try it. Have a nandroid backup made of your system as it is right now, and have a copy of CWM recovery handy to reflash via fastboot.
You'll probably have to re-root if you can even get the OTA to stick (like the one post above that says it didn't...)
so, back to stock recovery before update?
swype
FYI, swype did not work after update, had to reinstall, now works fine.
How do I get this update?
Made a check for updates in my NS, and I got none.
Still in 2.3.1 here.
Would those of you who get it, if you have a chance, please run the logcat on your phone BEFORE updating and try to catch the url so we can get a manual link for it:
in order to extract the url for the system update, we need to run alogcat from the market, then when the update notification appears look in your logs for a url that says something like clients.google . You can install alogcat, then set filter to clients.google

It's going to roll out slowly, just like the 2.3.1 and Market updates did. I don't think all the checkins in the world will speed it up by any significant amount.
What we impatient types need is someone who is offered the update to grab the url so we can just manually download it.

[Q] root/bloatware question

Hello everyone. I was wondering if this would work:
Root, remove all bloatware, and then unroot and get OTA update. Will my phone, after OTA, remain without Bloatware?
The short answer is - no.
The longer answer is - you won't get the update unless you flash it manually as PD15IMG (which wipes and reformats everything anyway).

what I mean is to root the phone, remove the apps like Asphalt, friend streem, etc. Then unroot it and wait till I get stock OTA
I think friend stream is removable but I may be wrong
No. Once you get the official OTA you will be subject to all the T-mobile bloatware. If you really want the stock gingerbread ROM, there is a rooted version with and without the new radio in the development forums.
You can get rid of the bloatware or you can have the gb update, but you cant do both until an exploit to root the update comes out.

I understood what you've meant, and the answer doesn't change - no, you can't do it, the OTA will bring EVERYTHING on the system back to stock or won't work at all.

How to Disable Automatic Device/Software Updates?

How can I disable automatic System Updates on my Galaxy S4 GTi9505?
Yesterday I got this phone, and today once I was connected to my WIFI, it began downloading a System Update bundle.
How can I disable this function to STOP updating these automatically?
Now, I dont even know what System updates or device updates the phone was installing now, but when the phone rebooted, it just said Device Successfully Updated. What was updated, I dont even know. I just pressed Install.
Android version is 4.2.2 even before this update bundle which I dont mind. So I dont know what updates were these.
Please help. And also want to DISABLE this auto updating as well....
So, I want to know two things here:
1. What device or update bundle was the phone installing? I got the phone since yesterday with Android 4.2.2.
2. How can I DISABLE these updates automatically?
And is there a way to check which device updates were installed now? Is it under the Settings somewhere?
Thx
Go to settings->More->About Device->Software update and you'll see there all the options
Ok thanks, and will tell me which updates it installed?

No. Phone will update itself to latest firmware for your region. Also sammy dont provide changelogs. Just flash any custom rom and ota uodates will be dosabled

You need to disable the automatic download function for ota updates through the About Phone settings and then use an autorun manager to disable the software update processes on phone boot and that way you won't have to keep pressing "Remind me in 3 hours"
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda app-developers app
Ok, where is the autorun manager found on the phone?
Or is this an app?
Thanks'
Anyway, I managed to disable or uncheck the settings for Auto download via the About Phone settings.

There are various rooted apps that can manage the autorunning of apps on boot. But BE CAREFUL if you do use one of these as although changes are reversible, its not nice to mess around in this area
Trust me!!!!!! I will NOT ever ROOT my phone...Or do any of the flashing of ROMs and stuff like that. I read many many steps to do this and its too too risky to do.
I will just disable the automatic updating, thats all is there to it.
Thanks.

I have found a way to disable android update permanently without root.
First go to setting
Tap about option
Click on build number 7 times
(it will unlock your develepor mode)
Now go back to setting and there u will see a developer mode option, click on that
Now disable automatically updates from there
(all done) now the system will not automatically updated by wifi or anything else

I am currently running 8.1.0 on the Essential PH-1. I am rooted with Magisk, but running the stock rom. I don't want to upgrade to 9.0.0 yet, so I have disabled automatic updates in the developer options... at least I thought I did. The toggle is clearly showing that automatic system updates should be off, but I keep getting the notification that 9.0.0 is available, and it wants me to download and install it. Any advice?

Can an OTA update take away root?

I have my phone rooted, but I was wondering if Verizon can send anything down to unroot it.
If yes, what can I freeze to prevent OTA updates? Also, if we are unable to load custom ROMs ever, for whatever reasons, would that mean we would be stuck with this build of 4.3 because Verizon could take away root with an update? Thanks.

From what I've read freezing SDM 1.0 should block OTA updates.

Yes, more likely than not a OTA would take away root. However.. Verizon can't push a OTA onto your phone. yes it downloads it, and notifies you but dow not install unless you accept it to install.
You can freeze SDM to prevent this notifcation from showing up and from phone for checking on updates.
I say again though, Verizon does not force your phone to flash the OTA's, you must always accept the OTA.
+1
and go ahead and freeze sdm1.0...and more then likely Verizon will have the next update patch root.

Update from NAE to NG2!

Anyone receive this update yet?
I took the update and my build number updated, but my baseband and software still say NAE (Happened to me late time too) so hopefully the .tar file gets released soon or a way to redownload the update file and place it on my external sd card and reflash it.

Thanks for the reply. I'm all stock with Towelroot only. just wondering if the new "Google security fixes" will break the Towelroot exploit as I'm assuming that it will.
Also assuming that this is pretty much a useless update that only closes that exploit since Sprint was too sorry to include wifi calling as it should have.

Yeah the easiest way for me is to just flash Philz recovery with Odin and it has an option in advanced settings to reroot then just download supersu from the playstore

I want to do the reverse
I took the OTA to NG2 and now apps that I regularly use (DoggCatcher and Daily Roads) are reporting storage problems and are unable to write to ext SD card, even after applying NextApp fixes. Maybe I need to reset the paths or something, but if that doesnt work, what would be the best way to revert back to NAE?

This is probably stupid and already answered in another thread but I'm a noob, don't flip out on me... Let's say, theoretically, I was to accept the
NG2 update. I'm rooted with Towelroot, using Supersu and Titanium backup. I've backed up then delete almost all of my bloatware with TB and have no further use for root at the time. If I were to break root with the update, will all that stuff stay the same and be safe until I can root again? I.e. If I break root, touch none of those root apps, then root again later, will they even "know" anything happened?
Since you can't take an OTA while rooted, that won't work.

Long press on notification it should show app info, push on that should take you to the application, then Clear Cache > uncheck Show Notification, that should stop it from showing.

Thanks for posting this...EXACTLY what i was looking for. I didn't even know there was a new update out and this damn thing was nagging me when i woke up this morning. Now the more important question...What does the "HD Voice Icon" look like....lol.
But seriously, if i am stock rooted NAE, is there an upgrade path out there yet, to keep me stock rooted? And what else is in this thing, it's reporting almost 120MB....???

You will have to first install the stock NAE tar file with odin to return your phone to a stock unrooted condition with the stock recovery. Then you can take the ota. After that you can reroot again with cf autoroot.
Now the question is can you keep the domestic sim unlock if you do this?
