I recently rooted my Inspire. Today there was a WIFI update available and when I went to run the update the screen blacked out with an exlclamation mark. Is this because of the root that the phone will not take the update? Or is that the update process?
Thanks
Is the update from your service provider or from the people that created the ROM? If it's from your provider I would not even try to run the update just wait for an updated version of your rom to come out.
Thanks!
Kind of what I was thinking but being new to the device I thought I would ask.
Thanks again!
This is just to enable better speeds but all the ROMs already enable that.

Actually, its likely the side loading update, which most Roms also have. The speed update was weeks ago...

The OTA update is a combination of a patch pack and some new firmware for the radio and hboot. The first phase is applying the patch pack. For this to work, you need a pretty much stock ROM. If you're rooted, you likely have a few files that will be different and the patch will fail. It also checks the CID and aborts if you're not using stock (ie you used gfree to "open" your SIM, etc.). The firmware will only install after the patching process has completed successfully.
If you are rooted, then your best bet is to just use ATTN1's package that contains all the patched files and firmwares. You can find it here:

My updates kept failing so I exchanged the phone and the new one works fine.
I am 100% happy Running Gummy FE 2.0 and want nothing to do with the GBE update.. Is there any way to stop the push? I am getting sick of clicking update later... Any help would be appreicatied.. Thanks !
You'll have to root your device, and rename/delete update apk file.

Hello.. And thanks for the quick response to my question ! I am rooted on Gummy 2.0 Froyo so I would just go into the system folder to find the file ?
Where exactly is the file to rename? I do not want the update either.

I would imagine its somewhere in /system/app should say vzwupdater.apk or something like that

Huh.... I always thought if the phone was rooted and running a custom ROM, you would never get OTA updates. Maybe that's only if you're running a custom Gingerbread ROM.

That's exactly what I was thinking. The OTA is supposed to check for an unrooted/unmodified system before allowing the OTA. Maybe it just fails to install but you still get the notification? If true, that would definitely be annoying. Don't blame people for wanting to disable it.

I'd like know as well. I'm happily rooted and don't feel like changing anything. A pop up has notified me about 10 times today. Only options are to Install now. Install later and more information which allows no further options. So I just hit install later only to be notified again randomly.

Hopefully, Someone can let those of us that do not want to update know where this update.apk file is located.. I know I can't seem to find it...
when I loaded up the debloated rooted package courtesy of Danalo I remember deleting remnants of something in root explorer along the lines of "vzwfroyoinstaller.apk" and something else with "vzwupdate(er)" in the name which could be the culprits, sorry I don't remember and when I was on froyo I hadn't received the OTA yet and didn't bother to check then got impatient and flashed the aforementioned rom lol
do a search in root explorer for "update" or "froyo" or even a generic one like "vzw", there's gotta be a suspicious looking updater apk somewhere in there

The new radios contained in this ROM update alone (which dramatically improves data connection stability) is the biggest reason alone to update to Gingerbread.
I used to have data drops and overall data instability like none other on EE4. 2.3.6 gives me the stability that I needed to keep a stable data connection while hopping from tower to tower while driving through my city. EE4? Forget about it, it never could hop from tower to tower without giving some kind of fit about it and that meant that you couldn't stream anything. I'd have to look at my phone every once in awhile just to force my streaming music app to make a reconnection and being that I drive through some cities that have a "no cell phone" law, I was risking a ticket (that and an accident).
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
I haven't gotten a notification yet. Running EP4 debloated.
Sent from my GT-P1000 using xda premium
If you're running anything other than bone-stock (no root, no VooDoo, no de-bloat, etc) EE4, the OTA will not apply.
In many cases, you won't even get the notification on a non-stock ROM, as it requires the InnoPath app to be there.
If you're on a custom ROM, the OTA does manage to get downloaded and you tell it to update, you run the risk of soft-bricking (boot loop) at worst. In the best case, you'll boot to custom recovery and it will ignore the update.
I just got off the phone with verzion to see if there was any way for them to stop the push... Upper Tech Support called Samsung and they said no.. That after 2wks the push should stop.. I am running Gummy Froyo 2.0 with the EP4 radios and we have 4G in my town and its as smooth as a babies ass.. Running Immoseyon's kernel in voodoo.. files are converted to EXT4 and setcpu has me at 1200 mhz 100% stable I don't want to loose what I got.. Everything Icons, Backgrounds, Go Launcher EX are all set up PERFECT So, I guess I am going to have to wait for the push to stop.. There is no "Update.zip" file that I can find through Root Explorer to delete to stop the push..
You can do NAND backup and Titanium Backup (for god's sake), then update. GingerBread is much faster then Froyo.

I am running a stock rooted kernel with stock rom. I keep getting the ota update. I am all backed up and going to try the ota in the am when my battery is fully charged. If not it won't be the first time I used imnuts [HOW-TO]Fix your phone....
YOU MUST be NOT rooted for the OTA to take place or it will break the phone and you'll have to use the "Fix your Phone" thread.
Froyo versus Gingerbread. If you thought your phone was fast with those tweaks on Froyo, just try applying them to Gingerbread. Five times better. Look at it this way... this phone was made for Gingerbread, the hardware, the features, the functionality, all of it was made for Gingerbread. Hell, the front-facing camera was made for Gingerbread. The only reason why we got stuck with Froyo was because they rushed the phone to market and by the time they wanted to launch it a Gingerbread build wasn't ready for it.
I took the ota this morning with stock rooted kernel and worked perfect. I must say trparky was correct about "dramatically improves data connection stability". I am really surprised how much this update helped out my phone.
I tried it with several ROMs. Jelly Beans 6/7, Executioner, MIUI and Cleanrom Regular/Lite. I am able to connect and receive files from a non rooted Jelly Bean Verizon Galaxy S3. Even my fiances rooted s3 currently on Executioner ROM, does the same thing. I'm thinking did they leave something on the leak version or? I am able to S Beam, and connect via WiFi direct. The only problem is when we send files they don't get an incoming file notification. Anyone else have this problem? I mean WiFi direct is one of the best features it being able to transfer files so fast. I need that ish though lol. Although my friends non rooted JB GS3 works perfect. It's like I wanna go back to stock yo!

Hi,
I own a Motorola Xoom MZ604 since it came out in PR(USA), I have tried every available custom rom. Even the 4.4.2 OmniRom and CM. Got bored of 4.4.2 since cached images were showing on the gallery and couldn't find a way to fix it. Went back to stock 4.1.2 rooted.
I want to know what you think. If Ishould move on to a more 'powerful' tablet or if the Xoom still got it?!?

I'm wondering the same. I also have the xoom 604. Tried all roms. Using Omni but I like the stock rom better. Nothing really special ever happened, like multi window. I want something newer with hdmi and 1080p or multi window.

Certainly depends what you are using the tablet for. I have a desktop and a laptop that I use for certain tasks but the Xoom is handy for lot's of things too. I bought my used Xoom wifi about a year ago, immediately rooted it and ran various CM 4.2's. I decided to take the leap of re-partitioning and installed the unofficial OmniRom Kit Kat 4.4.2 making sure I explicitly followed ALL the directions, procedures, and tweaks. This has brought the device back to life and I am very pleased that it works so well. I haven't had the problems you reported and everything is working very smoothly.
