Looks like a Verizon S3 ota update is imminent

Nothing too earth shattering if you read the official statement from Verizon, but may have a fix for those with SIM troubles.

I hope this feature will get stripped out of the custom rom's. I don't want Verizon to be able to snoop on my device.

But, if we are rooted, we don't want to update. Right? Thank-you

right, the safest way to update is to restore back to stock, stock kernel, and DEFINITELY re-lock your bootloader if you have it unlocked.

I am rooted and I just got an update message. Not sure if I should update I don't want to break root. Has anyone else installed this on a rooted device and can comment on this?

Can you re-root? Just want to know if the root exploits available still work despite the new update.

I wouldn't do it if I were you. Not while rooted....Can brick your phone I heard.

Do not update if u are rooted.

Well if you can't update while rooted, what are you supposed to do if it auto updates? I was just sitting in bed and noticed that my notification went off on my phone and not on my tablet (meaning not email). I checked the phone and if I hadn't noticed it would have auto updated and I am rooted on stock. It said the update would start in 3 minutes after I heard the notification. I deferred until tomorrow and have my phone how I want it, so I really don't want to go back to stock. I suppose I could make a nandroid.
It really scares me though that Verizon almost pushed an update that could have potentially bricked my phone. I don't think that is right, quite honestly.

Is this legit? I would love to do this because I am worried about the auto-updating. I do not want to restore to stock at all.

I'm using it,I paid for it.so I'm hoping it is legit.seems to be.
Before installing this app,I noticed my phone said downloading vzw update, which I didn't want so I quickly turn mobile data off, search the market for a ota blocker saw this installed enabled and haven't been botherd yet. THIS APP IS ONLY FOR VZW S3 PHONES!! Sorry don't mean to yell lol.

O didn't notice it was a paid app because I am on my tablet right now. Hmm. Will have to get out of bed to see if the price is worth it or if I can just defer again. It asked me for an update time and I said 1230pm.

Vzw Stock rom for HE update

Could someone tell me a link to stock rom for vow HE update as i want to go to stock to get the ota update.
I could find it anywhere, maybe i am new to this forum might be a reason.
Sorry for the trouble guys.

Follow section 6.
or http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1867253
Or...
If you are looking the HE update why not just go with CleanRom 3.0. It is based off of the new HE update and is about 95% stock. The plus side is that most of the garbage (VZW bloat) is removed. It is MUCH faster and very stable.

If you haven't set everything back up again, you can clear data from Google Services Framework and try to "force" the update.

I saw somewhere here that if you're on HD then it won't update since that wasn't an official update. Idk how much truth there was to that. Have you tried updating by using the G7 OTA first?

First Boot

Can I boot directly into the bootloader right out of the box and do an unlock? Just curious if anyone has done this. Seems like booting up, taking the update, logging into google, etc, and doing the unlock later are all a waste of time if the unlock does a factory reset.

Yes that's fine.

You'll need the stock recovery for the OTA update.

Stock with root now what?

so I am still on the stock rom I never flashed a new rom be4 on this s5
I don't mind the stock rom but have some questions.
I am being prompted for 2 updates!
1 is the software update
2 is the security policy update
what happens if I accept them? will I loose root?
& what should i do and if so could I remove the nag?

If you accept the updates and if it goes through, yes, you would lose the root.
Are you sure you are completely rooted? Because you shouldn't be receiving those update notifications if you are.

Yes! Sorry for that. I did some research & if you update you will lose root provided you are using the stock recovery & bootloader. If u are using a different one,ur phone might not boot after updating. If you are using a stock bootloader I suggest u update,lose root & root again

Yes, you will lose root for sure because that's what happened to my friend. However, after update I re-rooted for him. I know it's tedious but that's what you have to go through.

Or u can download the ota file in zip format & flash using recovery. It'll work as long as you are using stock ROM with no modifications. & most likely you won't lose root

Yes, we need some good devs apart from the ones who ported the 2 roms....
I used htcdev to unlock the bootloader and then flashed SuperSu but i got a buggy root looks like.
Also having issues with the sdcard write problem created by google...
I'm trying to sort out my kinks to set it up as per my liking using xposed modules etc...

I have permanent root. You have to unlock bootloader for that and then flash SuperSu as i mentioned earlier.
There is no method without unlocking bootloader. I tried a lot, none of the other exploits worked,, unless you want to spend

Yeah bro... Actually i had unlocked ? my bootloader and backed up DRM keys (require root) but after 2 months my power button was not working properly....
What i did..
Restore DRM & relocked bootloader and flash the stock rom.... And then send it to service center and they also fix the issue for free!!
So is there any way to gain the warranty back like in samsung we can clear flash counters by "triangle away" app... And here in sony with DRM method??

Hmm... I wonder. Is it okay to pick up a single sim version? Looks like everyone has dual sim here and I'm a little worried when ROMs do get ported, it might not work on the single sim version. Would it work anyway? Or do I really have to go for the dual sim?
