AT&T software update for SGS3... - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is it worth it? I'm on a rooted SGS3 and have to jump through hoops to get it. Anyone find a way to update to it without un-rooting?

OTA updates with ROOT?

Ok, so I'm on the edge to root my Samsung Galaxy S3 (AT&T), but I have one concern. Jellybean is supposed to land on this phone in a month, and I was wondering that when I root my phone (no custom ROMs) can I update to jellybean OTA with the root, and have no problems?

It's gonna be best to un-root before doing the eventual OTA update because it can play havoc with your phone otherwise.
If you stayed rooted and still done the OTA, the best case scenario is that it'll simply take your root status away, but it can cause more problem than simply that.

What's worse case scenario? And it is usually easy to unroot

I'm not too sure what the worst case scenario is, I just remember reading it not long ago.
I didn't word that last post too well to explain properly. If you're only rooted then you'll be fine to do the OTA. It's if you have CWM installed that errors can happen.
So, you're fine to root but you'll have to re-root once you've done the update.

Ahhhh okay. So if I root and stay on stock ROM ( I'm not playing to put on any custom ROMs anytime soon) I can update OTA, and everything will go well, and then I'll just root again?

It says I need to install CWM Recovery for the root

That's right yes.
What method are you planning on using to root?

Many people run rootkeeper or the like to take OTA updates without issue. Haven't seen having root causing issues, just taking updates after erasing bloatware.
So if I root, I shouldn't have any problem updating to jellybean OTA?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
I'm pretty sure you will. I rooted my phone and couldn't do a OTA so I just went with a custom rom that updates. Best decision ever

But what if I don't install any ROMs
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app
I'm sure the devs in your forum will offer a stock rooted ROM based off the OTA. So just keep your root and wait for them. Hell . They often release theirs before the official push.

Trust me, you do. I think there's already JB for the galaxy s3 through a custom ROM.

OK, so if I root, just root only.. no custom ROMs, nothing fancy, just being rooted, I won't be able to receive OTA updates at all?

Some devs here are starting to work on their OTA updates for their ROMs. Otherwise, most devs here work at a much faster pace to release their updates than any manufacturer or carrier will.
So its impossible to straight up OTA from your device if your rooted with no ROMs installed?? I don't want to wipe out my data and restore my backup all for a "ROM" because I can't update legittimatly from the OTA server

Its possible to receive ota updates... do it like this.. root your device.. don't remove bloatwares.. don't install custom kernel or rom.. then unroot your device before trying to use ota updates... it works for me.. so no worries..

Pretty much like this. But it makes rooting quite limited, so I don't see why you would go throught the hassle when a custom ROM is a waaayy better choice. Just my opinion, though

Can't wait!

I'm new to rooting and I'm hooked. I did my nook color and my Nexus 7. I REALLY want to do my DNA. I can't wait for someone to figure out how to u lock the bootloader on the new update!

If you're not on the latest OTA you can now ^^
Unless of course... it's too late ( for now )
Yeah... Is too late. I really started getting into it after I installed the OTA
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
im sure there will be a way to root with new ota soon. then the addiction continues!
I really do feel the disappointment for all those that took the update. I would be pulling my hair out and cursing the heavens by now :silly:
Didn't take an OTA here.. unfortunately, mine shipped from Amazon with the update installed. So patiently I wait for our wonderful developers to get root for those of us late to the party.

I wouldn't be so anxious to root the DNA.. I rooted mine the first day I got it and about 3 weeks ago had to unroot it just to apply the update that was released because I kept getting a screen popping up telling me to "Set a Date" to install the update, which was impossible to install with a rooted phone... so yea.. don't be so anxious ;x

Or you could have used an app to get rid of the OTA notifications for you, install a new kernel and ROM, radio and still be all the happier

Or you could of flashed a rom that was updated, or flashed a rom which disabled the ota, or flashed the package that disables the ota.

I myself cannot wait to root and flash. I have had the phone for about a week now and it came updated. I am close to trading for a Note 2 or GS3 I'm so anxious hahaha. I will be patient though haha.
I'm on the same boat sucks to have no root for ota. Well unlocked bootloader actually.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda premium
Unlocked bootloader with OTA? How so? I just want to root to remove/freeze bloatware. Flashing ROMs maybe eventually, but I think this phone is awesome out of the box.
Sent from my HTC6435LVW using xda app-developers app
The issue with ota is unlocking the bootloader. We can't do it anymore with the new ota. In order to get root the bootloader needs to be unlocked so that we can flash a custom recovery and flash super user granting root. Without the bootloader we have nothing. The people working on getting the bootloader unlocked it is said they have root on ota but for us to get to that we need the bootloader unlocked.

[Q] Downgrade for bootloader unlock?

Hey all,
So I wanted to load up a custom ROM on my DNA eventually, unfortunately I didn't read that accepting the latest Verizon OTA would not allow me to do that, and therefore I took the OTA.
I was wondering, is it possible to downgrade to the original build (1.15 i think) that shipped with the phone via an RUU? Because then I would be able to use the current unlock method, correct?
Thanks!
p.s I read around, and I didn't see anything about this, but I apologize if I missed it.
No, it is currently impossible to unlock your phone.

Thanks for a speedy reply! I had a hunch that would be so, oh well, I can live with it stock. It's really good as is!
You can pay for a jtag service.

I was about to suggest that too. Its only $45 I think for the guy in Dallas and well worth it. I've been in communication with them and they have been GREAT to work with on several issues, I'd send my phone to them in a heartbeat.
To find the thread Google "XDA DNA s off for the impatient."

[Q] Is Software version E97011c the orgianl stock?

I dropped my phone and shattered the screen. I got my replacement and I'm not having any luck with rooting and it's not picking up any ota updates either. I thought original stock was 10o or 10c or something like that.
11c is the latest update. Downgrade by LGNPSTing. Then you can root and unlock like normal.

New LG G2 OTA Update!!!

In currently running stock firmware but rooted. I'm in the 3 network in the UK. I checked the other night to see if an update was showing and nothing, and I've been checking periodically over the last few weeks.
Tonight I thought I would give it a go and I am currently downloading a 548.36mb update. Does anyone know what this is??

Its kitkat buddy
It has to be Lollipop, pal
For real?! I didn't think I would get the OTA as I am rooted. Plus I've not heard anyone else getting it.
Is it sad that I'm stoked about this?!
Sent from my LG-D802 using xda app-developers app
Just attempted to update but Xposed and Root got in the way. No way to unroot the phone without a PC in guessing?
