Hello,
I have a question about OTA updates. I'm running V10.2 CyanogenMod version 13.0-20160727. I get sometimes an OTA update Message, today for example about new V10.8 and I can download it.
Now, when I would update from 10.2 to 10.8, do I have to make a full clean and reinstall all stuff again or can I update V10.8 over v10.2 and all Apps and data will not be changed?
Regards,
Moritz
U should post that in here

But anyway to answer your question,yes u can just dirty flash new 10.8 update over your 10.2 and your apps and data will be safe
Thanks,
I tried it and everything went OK! V10.8 is up and running, the same for my apps!

Hello,
Currently I have a Samsung Galaxy S III with the Android Revolution HD 9.0.0 and I want to upgrade to version 10.0.0 which is the current version (Both based on JB leaks).
But I don't want to wipe my data to upgrade.
The reason for this is because even though i've backed up everything using titanium backup, I have a layout which I like and lots of other settings for every app and I don't have a few hours to play with it.
Is this possible?
Thanks in advance
If you are currently running an ICS custom rom and the update is to a JB cumstom rom by the same maker then yes you still need to do a wipe.
But if you did a nandroid backup first before updating you could always try flashing the update without wiping but it could cause problems.
The devs always say to do a full wipe so that there are no problems
Hope this helped
P.S it is adviced not to make duplicate posts as Mods may close this one mate
Hello,
I've installed some MODs in my LL9 BTU ROM. Now, i want to update to the lateste LLA firmware via KIES. Is it possible? Would KIES revert to 'stock' without any problem, if it allows me to upgrade?
What's the best way to upgrade?
Thanks a lot.
Kies will only update it to latest firmware if its available in your country.
For me (and many others), the best way of upgrading is to download the rom with latest firmware from here
It will not cause any big harm.
The update is available for me. The question is: can i update with MODs installed or do i need to do something to "revert" it? Will KIES automatically revert, just like it does with Root?
All your mods will be removed during update and dont even try to restore mods from backup (becuase of firmware changes).
You can though, restore apps and contacts etc. but not mods.
Sorry but you will have to mod it all over again if you update (whether by kies or by roms on this forum).
Ah, no problem! All i wanted to know is if it was possible to upgrade with the MODs installed. I'll try to update via KIES now and then reflash the MODs. Thank you! >
I have OTA updated 4.0.3 (release5a) before seeing all the warnings
I then tried doing the CFW patch using the AIO tool and got Status 7 - am I right in thinking that is because I was a muppet and did the first OTA update....... WHEN WILL I LEARN?????
Now google play would not download anything, now its working.
It is now asking to OTA the same version, will I lose my root? is it worth updating or is it just the fake OTA updates I was warned about when trying to put the CFW on?
Just checked my root and it works.
Hey guys
I've been running 4.4.2 for like a freaking year (yeah I have), and I see everyone upgrading to Lollipop on their Note 3. When I go and check for an update, it says I've already installed the latest version.
I am running stock 4.4.2 with 3.4.0-1955971 kernel.
I could always just wipe it and install a ROM, but I don't want to lose my files, apps, etc. I see plenty of people who got the update through OTA (like here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/not...ting-lollipop-ota-update-sprint-note-t3076813 ).
How do I get the OTA update on my Note 3, so I don't have to wipe everything?
Thanks!
Update: I installed a stock ROM going through this tutorial: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/general/finally-official-5-0-firmware-galaxy-t3029557
I am now on 5.0 stock, and all my apps are intact
Hello.
Recently, I received an update for OTA, I downloaded it but could not install it because I had a custom recovery. I couldn't get the files from the update either.
This patch weighed about 150-165 MB and in its description it said: "Minor bug fixes".
Did anyone else get it?
I made a factory reset to my phone and updated to Marshmallow via V09 and V15 Lollipop stock ROMs, but never received the update again.
