I just updated my rooted Epic via OTA and it went through without any problems. I've also confirmed that I'm still rooted.
I've read that if you have removed any Sprint apps after rooting you might have errors during the updates.
BTW....my root method was performing the one click method shown in the sticky forum.

So many threads about this already but it all depends on what root method you have installed. IF you have noobls kernel then you must return to stock if you have joey 2.2.4 then just run the update
yah i got some errors during the update.... what should i do?
i deleted a few sprints apps.
You need to restore most of the stock Sprint apps you removed.

Here's instructions how.
Yeah I tried to update.. It was the samsung media hub update. Is that the update u were getting?
I did the kernal update.. so I guess I got to get it back to stock... I'm not looking forward to it because I had a hard time flashing it. But its ok...

Flash a custom recovery/ROM. That should do it
But I'm not sure what else if the fwupgrade freeze didn't work
Yes. How do I stop this crap!?
I have 2 of these both rooted and hers keeps trying to install it. Its already downloaded on hers. I interrupted mine by killing the internet connection as soon as I saw it start downloading.
I'm sure when I'm sleeping it will try to install itself. So ill just shut my phone off.
Grr...
I'm running nosymathy rom with CWM installed and unlocked bootloader. The verizon update downloaded and prompted to install which I deferred for an hour. Not sure if the update will simply fail because I froze fwupgrade or not but I don't want to take the chance and I want to stop OTA completely so it doesn't even check.

Thats an issue with no-sympathy.... Most ROM's block the OTAs so you don't even need to worry about them.
This is actually the first ROM i've heard of that allows OTA's to even show up on the prompts.
Cmon no one knows how to prevent OTA prompts? How is it done in other ROMs?

You would have to ask the ROM's developers. Refuse it, and flash to another ROM that does it automatically for you. Obviously No Sympathy didn't think of an OTA... whynot I dunno. But every other developer did.

Just flash a custom recovery - ota updates can't install through a custom recovery so the furthest it gets onto your phone is in the /cache directory limbo.

I'm running CWMT, and that's what I awoke to this morning. I will freeze the service mentioned a few posts back and see if it actually prevents the OTA from even trying. I guess it's time to flash a custom ROM...

I've just had an alert pop up on my 101 saying it's downloaded a new system firmware??
I'm already on .27. Is there a new version or is something going on???
Install it and report back
I wouldn't have thought so, it's been about a year since the last one

Yeah, my first thought was to just let it install and see what I get... But I worried that it'll kill recovery or unroot and I won't be able to get it back??

Yea it might replace recovery and unroot you, you should be able to use Easyflasher to root and flash custom recovery again though, it doesn't care which ROM is installed
Im not seeing any other reports of an update though
If you're rooted, you could pull the update and upload it for people here to check, I can't remember the exact location though, something like /sdcard/asus
EDIT - Possibly this location: "<Internal Storage>\ASUS\Update"
Its been so long since I ran stock I've forgotten where it downloads it to
We used to pull them off the TF and upload them for the devs to incorporate into their custom ROMs
Well, went ahead and let it install.... and I'm still on .27??
Is it possible for the version code to get corrupted and misread by the routine that checks for updates???
Anything is possible with ASUS firmware, I dropped ASUS a long time ago
They dropped us even longer ago
I'm almost tempted to switch back to stock to check. I heard that it will still be .27 but they updated some of the firmware?
Maybe they have fixed my opengl issues... Not gonna get my hopes up.
Can someone verify what's new, if anything?

Apart from the OP of this thread, there is no-one else reporting an update, I think something just bugged out on his TF and downloaded the .27 update again
ASUS haven't updated the TF101 for a year or more, they aren't likely to start again now, and nothing is on their official firmware page for the TF101 either

by all means, if you're traveling to Canada then update away haha
Lmao wow. That's the most pitiful update ever. Seriously, couldn't they have waited until there was something more substantial and then included Canadian roaming in THAT update. As always though, Verizon is dumber than a bag of hammers...

i was so sure this was a KK upgrade. been looking around for how to retain root if you take it. thanks for the info!
Hey guys, I have a question about this update,
My friend has the S3 for whom I safe- rooted, debloated and whatnot. Now that this update came, my friend tried to update but to no avail. She is adamant about the fact that Verizon definitely has something important hidden in the update, despite me trying to tell her otherwise, and figured that she couldn't install the update because she was rooted.
Naturally, I fully unroot her entire phone, uninstall root-only apps, and try the update, but it doesn't work. When the phone reboots for installation, the installation bar loads for a bit,hangs, then just says "error" and does not update.
Anyone know what the problem could be? Normally I wouldn't care so much, but if Android 4.4 is actually coming to the S3 then I don't want her not to have it, and I can already tell it's not going to work if this update doesn't either.
Thank you so much in advance.

Some of the bloatware you removed likely had to be present on the phone in order for the update to take place. Unless you are sure someone is never going to go back to stock without flashing an ODIN tar image and wiping their phone clean, best to just freeze bloatware with Titanium Backup. That way you can just unfreeze it in order to go back to full stock. Unless you have a list of the bloatware you removed and can somehow sideload them back in, you will unfortunately have to flash her phone to full stock VRUCML1 and wipe it clean.

Ah, I see, next time I'm around her I'll re-root it and backup all her stuff with titanium backup, flash the VRUCML1 and factory reset, then restore everything and see if it works.
Strangely enough, when the same update for my Verizon Note 2 came out, I was able to update while rooted even though I unsinatalled theexact same system apps I did on her phone. How strange.
Nonetheless, thank you so much.
I have a question for you all. I took the OTA update for 4.3 when it came out but after that I rooted my gs3 Verizon phone again successfully. Now I also took this last update and now lost root on my phone. I tried to reroot the phone but it fails now. There error I get on safestrap is something about the addresses not being able to be found. Can anyone help me reroot my phone so my apps like titanium will work again?
Thanks

I want to know if maybe someone can help me to update to 5.1.1 because i dont have ota Update avalible and if is possible, try a stock or international room of 5.1.1 for the H950 Because att have a lot of bloatware.
Thanks all!
Yes
The various threads around here are quite helpful. If you're rooted, you're going to have to go back to stock. The OTA update should then kick in.
There's a thread over in the Android Development Section (It's at the top) that is exactly what you're looking for.
So, yes there are certainly methods by which you can update to 5.1.1!

This is a detailed tutorial on how to return your phone to stock. You'll end up with a data wipe, so make sure to back up anything you want to keep. You'll want to do this first. Nothing should go wrong (no guarantees though, as always), just make sure you pick up the H950 version of the system file (and put this in the root directory of your internal storage, and rename it to "system.img" if isn't already.)
Easy Restore/Recovery/Unbrick Tool for LG G Flex 2
You'll reboot to your bloated stock system, and you should be able to get the OTA update. If you come across the "Please wait 24 hours and try again" message, just go manually set your date and time ahead, that should get it working.
Then you'll want to use this link to update to flash a 5.1.1 (rooted) system file (similar to the way you did it before).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g-flex2/development/root-easy-root-att-flex-2-5-1-1-t3178354
After a great deal of tediousness, you can install Titanium Backup and remove all of the bloatware. Obviously, be cautious, you might break things (and then you'll need to factory reset, yet again). In the near future I'll post a thread of all the bloatware I removed without any issue.
EDIT: I've created a freezable bloatware list for those of you unsure what's safe and what's not. The thread is here:
Ti Backup Bloatware Freeze List
Once you're done with that, if you're brave enough, you can install the XPosed framework (even though the bootloader is locked) using this link:
XPosed G Flex 2
The process is a bit sketchy, the extended periods of black screen are a bit foreboding, but it worked like a charm.
I am also in the same boat. Not receiving OTA, tried factory reset and date+1 doesn't work
Has anyone outside the US or AT&T network been able to update? Perhaps it works with a VPN? I haven't been able to update my brand new phone with zero modifications.
Im outside US, and i haven't got the OTA, i been trying changing the date and factory reset every now and then...
I will try a VPN and see how it goes.
Yes
When I returned to stock 5.0.1 I got the ATT OTA update. I'm in the US.
I don't claim to know the intricacies of flashing, but there are H950 5.1.1 system images floating around these boards. Could you flash one of those while on stock 5.0.1? I'm not sure. We do have an unbrick tool though so you'd probably be able to recover.
Let me know if anyone skips the part where they let the phone update itself, and go straight to flashing 5.1.1.
I just bought this phone brand new in the box because I heard the update was out on ATT, not for me I guess.
If you're already on 5.1.1 and you try to recover with the 5.0.1 image you will brick your phone.
As far as receiving the update notification on the AT&T version, I had to change the date forward a few days. I would check for updates after each date change and eventually got the notification. If that doesn't work, do a factory reset and try again.

Sounds like a direct flash upgrade is a no go then. I also set my device forward a few days (like a week) to get the update.
I Just ordered this phone and will be using it on cricket wireless, does anyone know if I'll need an active at&t sim card to get the 5.1.1 update or will I be able to get the update with my cricket wireless sim card?
Nope
Using a Straight Talk SIM myself and I got the OTA update just fine.
