Have you had a previous update? If you have SuperSU it should be easy to unroot. Did you unlock bootloader?

Just yesterday I unlock bootloader and using a custom Rom.

How big was the download?

Pretty sure custom rom puts you back to the older ATT base which will trigger the request. Once it fails it won't ask again

Thank you I think it was that and it did fail ,sorry false alarm.

I purchased the phone yesterday. So this may be an update that you guys already received.

That's what it is...I just got the phone last Saturday so already had the update.

I've already rooted/unlocked my phone, and I'm running the base ROM. Is it safe to install this update? I haven't seen anyone mention it, so I'm thinking it's probably alright. However, I figured it would be safer to ask anyway, given the "do not allow any OTAs to install without asking if they are compatible" warning in the FreeGee thread .

I don't think it will install if you're not on stock. I think the install will fail.

Just got this today about an hour ago.
Did not seem to break root, i'm using LBE privacy guard and it's still running the active protection service. Is there another easier way to test if root is still working?

See if SU grants permission for an app like "Adaway" or something like that. My lady got the update about few hour ago as well.

While to my limited knowledge, that is too small to be JB, that is still a great size.
I look forward to seeing what is in it.
Yeah, it can't be JB size-wise. I wonder why it is so big though.
I updated my roommate's s3 to jb last night. Wish I paid attention to the size when I did it.

The Korean JB leak was over 1GB..
Nexus is De bloated. Our JB would probably be larger than 300 gb considering all the bloat that will come with it.

Yep. The nexus roms and CM roms are slimmed as much as possible. They are the base roms with no Gapps, no LG stuff.
well, i bought the phone in ATT in USA
and bring to Brazil....
since that i always receive an authentication error
when i search OTA's...i never got any OTA
so, some tip to solve that???
A majority of us live in the states, considering this is a AT&T thread.. Not sure how we're supposed to help you when you took your phone to a different country. Hopefully there's someone though. Good luck!

The only way to do that is wait till lg releases the lgnsp files for it or whoever does that and do it though that program. I could be wrong but idk
there's so annoying...
so i never will have my phone updated???
please need to exist some way to do that!!!!!

Stock ota update deferred

I deferred the update until 2/25 the latest it would allow me to put it off. I eventually want to root and use a custom Rom I am coming from the Motorola droid x2 and CM7 and know nothing about HTC phones. Should I let the update go through or is there something I should do to stop it?

If you haven't unlocked your bootloader and you let it go through then you will not be able to root your device for the time being.

Do not allow the OTA to go thru. Root your phone and install the Mod by Justin (nitsuj) to get rid of the ota notification. If you want to root and not change your stock DNA it is possible. Then you can flash the custom rom of your choice later. My advice is to read up on all roms and kernels. How-to's before you root and make your decision on the best route to go. If you need help look for a RD/RC (Recognized Dev/Contributor) and some one will be happy to assist you. Or you can always post openly in the Q&A sections.
I have unlocked the BL installed cwm rooted and now have s-off what file do I need to stop the ota?

If you took the time to search there many posts of ppl sending back and getting phones with MDK, also those with new OTA, so like I said, it's a crap shoot and it's 50/50.. Cant hurt to try, though
The chances likely decrease each day for getting the MDK build so the sooner the better.

Nobody would know the chances. Good luck with your refurbished. I dont know about sending in a perfectly working phone to receive a refurb, I guess if you want the MDK then do what you gotta do. I personally cant stand the purple smear on the MDK build...its horrible and unbearable.

All roms built off of mdk do this smearing, even AOSP builds. Its very noticeable in the gallery too.
I'm surprised nobody notices it other than me, its the most annoying thing to deal with, makes the gs4 screen look crappy.
