New update 1/10/13 - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

My friends phone just got another OTA last night. I checked and it's the same version of 4.1.1 that came out earlier according to the phone, but Google Now is running much better and I'm guessing there are other tweaks.
Did anyone else get an OTA push?
My phone is rooted which is why I am asking here.
I am hoping there will be a stock ROM based off the newest update if that is the case.
Any information appreciated!

is it K3?

Yes. Looks exactly the same as the OTA and last leak. K3.
I'm just saying the phone was already updated OTA to K3 when the rest of Verizon was a few weeks ago.
This was something else.

While that's strange if the build number didn't change its the same we already have. Even the smallest changes they'll change the name, but for proof look at the time stamp of the build

Ok ill check again tomorrow. I will post back here.
I did admit I looked quick just enough to see the K3 at the end. I didn't match up the complete build and Kernel specs. Strage that the phone got an update.

Maybe it was the pushed update to fix the "sudden death" issues?

Oops didn't mean to hit thanks, oh well. Even if it were it would still have a different build. In also sure the last part would have changed. Since every build had so far.

Sudden death is 16GB Exynos only.
Not for American S3.

I didn't get a chance to check or get more details.

I got mine weeks ago... If you are rooted you won't get it. Just download the official rom and radio from here.
I am not rooted!! As stock as they come
Verify your build number
Setting -> About Phone -> Software Information and look at build number. Let us know what that is.
Also (not saying your dumb or didn't know to do this, but you didn't specify if you have tried or not) try a force check.
Settings -> Software Update -> Check new
My build number is 1.13.605.7
I have called verizon 4 times, and htc ones and everyone just keeps tellimg me thats is coming and just to wait. Come on....21 days
I have also tried all the tricks, battery pull, setting phone on 1x and even dailing that *#*#2..... number thing. The only thing is refuse to do is a factory reset only because i have read in other forums that people called htc and they had them do a factory reset only do have no result.

Odd... Easiest solution... Root and install the rooted deodexed ota rom... And don't forget to flash the ota mr2 radio...

I would just root your phone and flash BAMF Sense 3.0 rc5. It's very stable and makes your TBolt better. I have been using it for the past month and I love it!

I just wish I could make the OTA update stop bugging me. On my first TB, I'd hit reject and it would go away forever. Now I'm rooted on the stock rom and it's bugging me 1-2 times a day despite rejecting it. :\

Why not search for the rooted edition of the ota, install it and then it won't bug you anymore?

To be 100% honest, I never had issues with the stock radios at all (3G only area.) So with no reboots, I wanted to stick with what worked, despite the 'fix' that rolled out, then the fix for the fix (this OTA.)
I'll give it a shot.

Where can this be found? I'm doing a few searches, but would like to keep root and up to the current ota so I stop getting these firmware updates.
They try to install on their own, and lock the phone, have to clear cache to get my phone back working.

just got an OTA ... how can i check what it is ?

not sure how to do it on the infuse ?

If it were an official GB update devs would have came all over this section and it would be a sticky, white mess. And then a bunch of little kids would come in a month and say "HOLY POOPCRAP BROZ I JUS GOT N UPDAYT!!!!!11!"

Well this post has little life so far, perhaps no dev have seen it yet? Don't know, I guess I am exited because because of the leaks for 2.3.5 that are out there already
Check your baseband version. If it is like ucke3, then you probably downloaded the uckh1 update that was released ota kinda recently.
Stupid ATT i thought they promised to give an OTA update of gingerbread last month itself but like always you cant trust their words.
Update - I have some software update that is going on right now, wonder what is this all about file is 14542kb which is doubt will be GB

That's UCKH1
anyone now if you loose root ?
Yep, thats the pre-lim update that came a week or so ago (for me anyway) I installed it and actually my InFuse felt a bit speedier but it didn't break my root or anything either. So I'd say go for it (at your own risk of course) mileage may vary.
It's the UCKH1 baseband update and possibly bootloader update aswell.
I tried playing by the rules and using this updated version for about 3 days. Battery life was horrible. I had to switch to my N86 halfway through the day so it could charge V_V I would recommend getting infused. It's so much better than stock. So. Much. Better.

I didn't lose root from the last AT&T push for UCKH1 when I was running the stock ROM.

When could our 9020A get the same ICS update?

Is Google working on it or they never ever had planned to do it for 9020A?
btw since the update for 9020T is out, I assume what google need to do is simply replacing radio in the ROM according to 9020A specification.
Is it all that hard?
I think they need to fix the battery bugs first.

This. They've put the brakes on the i9020t update already; one suspects they aren't about to start rolling out an update to the i9020a until they're confident it works right.
Could you please educate me what's the battery bug?

I flashed the ICS 4.0.3 for 9020T (with radio replaced by KF1), what I observed is the battery lasts longer that it did back in 2.3.6 ages.

They only stopped the rollout in a few counties. The US rollout on the i0920t continues.
I hope my 9020a gets it soon. I do have the 9020t's with the right radio in the mean time.
I bought this phone because I looked forward to getting quick updates. I had the captivate on att and went mad waiting for updates. Now there is talk other devices from sony may get it soon. So help me if they get an official ICS before I get mine....

[Q] ICS Over The Air Update

Hello, I am using Nexus S 2.3.6, from Malaysia.
A few of my Malaysian friends already receive Over The Air update of ICS from Google. However, although I do check for "Settings -> System updates" all the times, I always saw "Your system is currently up to date".
Is there any additional settings I need to do, in order to receive official update from Google? I prefer not to do it manually myself by downloading the ROM.
I believe that Google stop rolling out the ota.
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using Tapatalk
I keep wondering when the ICS OTA update will be released. I'm using an i9020a on at&t and I'm still stuck on the 2.3.4 update. When I got to check for an update it says that the system is up to date, even though most people have 2.3.6 on their NS's.
It's probably quicker and less painful to just download and update to the latest ROM yourself, especially if you're starting to check for system updates on a daily or less-than-daily basis.

I've tried that, and I'm still stuck on 2.3.4. Can't even get 2.3.6, let alone ICS.
Might as well flash one of the many AOSP or CM9 ROMs posted out here to be honest. How fast is AT&T in approving ROM updates?
I'm pretty sure that's part of what's holding it up despite the Canadian 9020As out there...
I've flashed Kalimochoaz's CM9 alphas a few days ago and it works like a charm.

I don't know that it is at&t holding up the update, I think it's still on Google right now. I have considered flashing an ICS ROM on it, I just haven't had the time or motivation just yet.

ATT 4.3 update, anyone get it?

Just tried downloading the new 4.3 update. It was posted it was coming out today. However, when i try to check for it, it says there is no newer update.
Anyone got this yet? The official download from ATT, not the hacked rom.

If it says there is no update, then its not out yet...
Also, the 13th was and has always been speculation. Don't always believe a well put together picture with information

Nothing here. I'd suggest linger around some Android news sites and wait for one of them to put up something saying that the update is rolling out.
I spoke with an AT&T rep not long ago who had his manager check on the status. He told me it would be out within a week or so, but nothing concrete.
Just reading some info on the S3 and the update was pulled cause people are experiencing lots of problems. I wonder if thats why they pulled the S4...
