Hi peeps
I have installed clockwork recovery and rooted my s3, now an update notifaction is redy for my s3, I downloaded it but did not install it, now I cant get rid of the update reminder, the phone is o2 contract but would apeare to be unlocked as I put my tmobile sim in it and it all works fine.
My question is, how to get rid of the update reminder?
Is it safe to let the phone do the update?
OTA firmware update ???
OTA updates generally fail to install on rooted phones .
Update can be done via KIES or from stock rom threads .

What I mean is that, now I have rooted, will I always have to update to newer versions via this forum or will it update via SE Update service as it would have done before I rooted?
Cheers
Yea 100% sure you will be able to get all updates . rooting doesnt prevent you from getting updates . when your phone will get updates you will just lose the root since new update is being installed and old one is gone.So go ahead and root it
Mine is already rooted with CWM and Rooted. Im currently on XXALE9 Stock. Unfortunately there is no response from Software Update on the phone and KIES is saying that Your device does not support software upgrading via Kies.
I heard from another forum site (Non-XDA) that it has something to do with the phone being rooted. I would like to know if this is true. As much as possible I am trying to avoid flashing via Odin.
Is there any possible fix for this?
As most of you might ask, the reason I am asking this is that I would like to officially get the updates for my phone. I am after those updates because those who received them had the Overheating/Warming issue with the phone fixed.
Thankyou very much!
reflash stock rom.
Question has to be has your individual phone actually got an official update .
No update no download via Kies or OTA .

Hi all,
Ive got the UK GB S3 and have rooted it to remove all bloatware etc...
I have sinced removed the root, so I can use barclays ping it,
recently a couple of OTA updates were pushed to my phone and with CWM installed
the phone obviously cannot apply the updates in download mode.
Is there any way to download the updates and install them to the phone manually?
(Ive removed kies - but can put it back on if required).
Thanks in advance

Either use Kies or flash the Update through Odin
I did an OTA upgrade to LG8 and Rooted with CF-Root6.4 and now every time I reboot it shows the "Android is upgrading" message, so anyone know how to fix this without reflashing Rom because I won't be home until next week.
Try to remove the synchronization with samsung account , if there is still a notification, you have to do a wipe date , factory reset ....
unable to update after root
why did i can run the OTA after root? is it normal? the clockwork recovery said the the signature was not recognized.
Fundamental element in order to be able to complete the update process of the Galaxy is to have a firmware entirely original.
If you have on your phone a test version, root permissions enabled or a modified kernel installed (e.s. , CF-Root) will be unable to update.

I was Rooted when I got the OTA update and apart from this problem which isn't really a problem it all went through fine, so guess I'll just wait and use Odin to see if it fixes.
I have 4.1.1 Jellybean on my phone, is unlocked, an had no trouble updating to 4.1.1 from ICS. Now that my phone shows "Updates Available", downloads them files( I think), but does not install and rather says "Your device has been modified. Software updates are not available". The new updates I have seen in my mate's phone are good, and as he told me he had no trouble updating to it unlike mine.
What is the problem and the best way to solve this issue?
Also I'd like to ask, if I used Odin to update it manually, will I be able to update my phone with later releases without having to use Odin again?

You answered your question yourself...modified = no ota update. Go back to stock unmodified or easier, download the new version from xda or sammobile and flash via odin

Well i don't know what you mean with "unlocked" . If you mean rooted then it's easy :fingers-crossed:. You might have rooted with CF-Root or Toolbox or whatever. And in that process you were forced to install Clockworkmod Recovery and that's the reason you can't get OTA. If you want to have a rooted phone and OTA all you have to do is. Root your phone, stay on stock rom and flash the stock recovery via odin. But this means you loose CWM Recovery and a lot of the fun part about a rooted phone is gone.

What part of "Unlocked" is confusing to you? It means the phone can run any sim card of any sim provider, thats what I meant, and no, the phone is not rooted or never even have tried rooting it... Never mind, I factory reset the phone and the update is done. Anyways kudos for your reply
Cheers!
