If you froze, or removed any apps that are not normally removable if not rooted, the install will fail. Safestrap has been known to cause OTA failures in the past. Dont know if that is still an issue or not.

OK nothing frozen or removed. But I do have safe strap is there anything I can do with it to make the its work. Like uninstall it?
open the app, choose uninstall recovery.
open settings/apps/manage and uninstall the app
check both internal and external SD cards for any Safestrap folders and delete them.

Thanks worked like a charm. Update completed root restored using ota root keeper entitlement check completed. Jellybean smooth as butter.
I've never used safe strap and I tried using OTA rootkeeper to temporarily unroot and it still won't update...

did you update/remove any of the verizon supplied apps? If you froze them with TB, then just unfreeze them. If you have deleted any of them, then you will have to find the root thread here and startover installing ICS, and move forward with the updates from there.

has anyone else found that there phone is no longer rooted after the AT&T JH7 update??? I noticed that the USB tether is no longer on the phone and went to use Barnacle Wifi Legacy and it told me that it only worked on a rooted phone. I checked BusyBox and indeed, the phone is no longer rooted. It looks like I have to start over. Has anyone seen any problems with re-rooting, lag fix or anything else after the update??

Samsung kies did the update for me when i plugged the phone into the computer. After it updated, it also broke my root and added all the att crapware again. I re rooted with no problems, and removed the bloatware. Phone is working great. I havnt really noticed any difference.

How did you do the update? I did it fine and root wasn't removed.

Has anyone updated with the Voodoo lagfix in place? I can always reflash the stock JF6 and then look for the update, but i am lazy.....
I updated through kies as well. Lost my root. used one click to root again and have had no issues.
I can't re-root! I want to re-root and install Unleash the Beast... I've downloaded it, renamed to update.zip... Put it in the internal SD, went into recovery and hit re-install packages and it no longer recognizes the update. I'm going nuts here trying to re-root... comes up... E:can't open /sdcard/update.zip (no such file or directory) Installation aborted ............... Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr... Help here..
That's odd. I did the OTA update by going into the system menu and selecting check for updates (I never installed the Kies software). I got the failed update message but the version showed it was JH7 after the restart, I'm still rooted and the bloatware did not reappear.
Also I never changed from the stock rom, I just rooted to get rid of the bloat and be able to sideload. I suspect those that did flash a new rom may have replaced the bloatware when they re-flashed to stock?
Hope this is helpful info for someone.

Same exact thing happened to me; Still rooted; Also have the JH7 suffix. Very weird, but all in all there are no changes to my phone.
How do you tell if your phone is still rooted?
(Yeah, still new to Android.)
My phone would not update...50% only whether I do it or ATT sends me the Update...Wife updated fine but was not rooted because I could not get into recovery mode until the update....then rooted hes...I Odin mine back to stock was on the phone with ATT for 2 hours.....Getting new phone
Never mind I used mini k I e s and the install went fine on both phones
No issues anymore.

If you try to update, it should fail. Most roms are signed differently then the ota so the phone wont update...
Just open titanium backup and freeze the updater. Problem goes away completely.

That actually fixed it for me... so I'm not sure why you're getting it. :\
Why not update the ROM your using to one that uses MR2 as the base?
Yeah are you using the newest base?

If rooted it should not update.
I've never been prompted for an update once rooted

My wife's nephew is rooted on stock and he keeps getting the update message. Would it fail if it downloads and tries installing or is it going to break his phone? He couldn't find anything in titanium that says updater.... Any thoughts?
jv
The OTA update will never download or install. There is a way to disable the OTA update notification but I can't remember the file that needs to be edited to do so.
I'm running the ICS leak, and just installed autostarts. It says it failed to change app status, likely because I did not have root access. Now obviously I have root access, being on the ICS leak already. And root still seems to work for root browser, ROM manager's clock calibration tool, and everything else except autostarts (and also Rom manager's autostart tool.)
Now I know that there are hundreds of threads involving this on google and on XDA, but I haven't found one pertaining specifically to the A2 and ICS leak. I'm working on figuring it out myself but I wanted to know if anyone knew about a known issue involving specifically A2 on ICS leak. Doing a restore now to see if autostarts will work with a clean ICS install.
EDIT: Hm... seems autostarts has problems with ICS to begin with. I didn't know that, as my brother's samsung something or other on ICS works just fine. And they say ICS ready right there on the app store page lol...
ICS leak doesn't require root. You may need to re-root using this method:

Yes I suppose I said that wrong. ICS doesn't require root, but I am rooted. I will try re-rooting, but as I said, root works for several other root-requiring apps.

Did you root before or after flashing the leak? Did you clear your caches and wipe data? If not, I would suggest wiping data and clearing cache and dalvik and flashing again. Also, if I helped you in any way, don't forget about that nifty little thanks button...
i was having problems with apps telling me i was unrooted on the ics leak even though i had rooted and some root operations worked.
i installed supersu from the play store and used that to grant permissions to apps instead of the superuser app and that made everything work perfectly.
i have frozen superuser because i like supersu better.
Just upgraded from the Incredible to the S3. Rooted, unlocked, and running Clean ROM. Wanted to play a movie on Flixster, but it detects root. I used to use OTA Rootkeeper to temp unroot, but it says it won't work on the S3 (I still tried, and confirmed that it doesn't).
Any suggestions?

I have attempted this multiple times as well and here is the basics, it does work, as I am running clean rom 5.0 with root and vodoo ota rootkeeper. I believe the trick is to ensure you temp unroot the device before accessing flixter application. So for instance if you happen to start the flixster app first, which I have a bad habbit of doing, you need to make sure to close out all running processes from flixster to ensure it doesnt detect, believe it is part of the initial startup process for the check, but unsure, either way have tried this on mine and was successful, so figured would try to help, hope it does.
I figured it out. You use SuperSu and disable SuperSu, then restart the phone.

Did you remove bloat?
All apk's must be there.
A FDR won't put them back.
My phone was stock, rooted, unlocked bootloader -> took upgrade with no issues at all.

Without knowing why, your best option is to download the HD utility and restore your phone to compete stock. There is something not passing the update check and if you aren't sure what the utility will get your phone where it needs to be.
