Got the new OTA update this week on Skyrocket on my rooted phone. It will down load but when it reboots to install it starts up in in Clockworkmod screen so does not Install. What can I do to install update????
Please search the forums before posting nonsense. You can't receive OTA updates using a custom recovery. You need to be stock. Odin back to stock ICS and then try.

Go to Here and return the device to complete stock (unrooted) form then apply update... remember, if your happy with your device the way it is I wouldn't bother
Thanks Guys. Sorry about posting again before I read other posts of the same. Will just leave it as is till Jelly Bean comes out as one of you suggest. Thanks Again...
I also got the OTA show up on my phone. I do not intend on unrooting and installing at the moment but am curious what the update is for. Anyone know? ATT of course has nothing on their site.

Never mind, looking at other posts now.
new OTA update
I also received an ota update this morning. The only reason I had my skyrocket rooted was so I could try out the jelly bean roms. restored to stock and now my phone is telling me that the software is up to date and wont let me get the ota again. Does anyone know how I can get it to show up again. By the way I am a noob with this kind of stuff

So I think you go to settings, then about phone, then hit software update. If nothing comes up then hit check for software update

Why are people in these forums so rude to someone who is just asking a simple question? Because I would like to have my GS2 on a full jelly bean firmware that's not buggy and that is not ICS. I've tested the full jelly bean on another device and it is a lot smoother and definitely better in all aspects than ICS. In my opinion anyway.

This isn't a jellybean upgrade tho. Its just some enhancements and a new modem to ICS.
So, I don't WANT the upgrade, but Device management keeps loading up and won't go away unless I hit the home key. It keeps popping up and won't be satisfied until I download the upgrade, which I do not want to do. Is there any way to turn it off?

How is that rude? I asked why you would go through the trouble to get such a minor stock update. This isn't jb, man. It's a maintenance update. Chill out
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using Tapatalk 2
JB hasnt even officially been released for the Galaxy S3 and the chances of SR getting it before S3 is 0.004855% and there is no "official" word on if its even going to come out for Skyrocket yet alone if ATT will go through with it. They did say Samsung Galaxy S2 LTE but that can also mean just the international version or whatever.
Remember it has to go through Samsung then ATT.
Your best bet for JB right now is the AOSP based ones.

He's not being rude, that was a legitimate question. I would ask the same. And trust me, a small update like this one wouldn't be JB. Sad, but you can get that idea out of your head. Besides, I'd scream if the SR got official JB before the S3
Stock ICS on my S3

Its STILL not out yet for the Xperia S!???? Wow, Sony truly taking their sweet time with it, even the GS2 has JB now.
Dont be in a rush for it, seeing many of the Xperia T JB bug reports, seems Sony still has a ton of work to do on their JB FW.

Just googled and searched around, and nope, Sony have not even released a single official JB FW for the XS, seems they delayed the release. They are still crap with their support from what im seeing.
I hope March will be the month.

I think you are way too optimistic. I was quite surprised that it officially got 4.1.2, I really can't see it getting an official 4.3 release, but I was wrong before so take that with a grain of salt. Having said that, I'm already running 4.3 on mine...

We won't see 4.2 let alone 4.3. For either of those android versions aosp is your only hope
This is a legacy device, no chance will Samsung or the carriers release any future official updates for the phone. They want you to upgrade and buy the latest hardware to get that type of support.

Now you can downgrade 4.4.2 kitkat to 4.3 jelly bean
You must have
1)an official stock 4.3
2)mobile odin
3)pc odin(computer odin)
4)This kernel (http://goo.gl/8MGXnQ)
5)custom recovery
6)rooted 4.4.2
Instructions:-
1)copy the stock 4.3 to sd card
2)flash it using mobile odin and make sure that all boxes are checked
3)flash custom recovery via pc odin
4)flash the kernel via custom recovery
Enjoy 4.3
Tested on my Gt-i9505
Notes:-
1)if you didn't flash the kernel you won't be able to use wifi
2)make sure to backup EFS and IMEI using EFS PRO (https://www.mediafire.com/?4smom74xg5tfkxu)
I wish i could helped many people to get rid of 4.4.2 kitkat
Thank you for posting this... won't do me any good as I'm not rooted...and need to downgrade to saferoot. But what is known about the custom kernel...I was under the impression using stuff for s4 variants that are not yours is dangerous. Im using the sprint version.
Regardless, I'm giving you a "thanks" for posting this as its a step in the right direction.

i don't know but i think 90% that will be successful downgrade cause odin mobile it's a general app and not a specific app
Has anyone tried is as follows
Flash MDM or MDF firmware that can receive OTA update and thereby update the phone
These two still receive firmware 4.2.2 OTA updates
Does not get downgrade with this way
I just tested to downgrade with no luck! Only comes to the first galaxy logo then bootloop? Can someone help me? Thx

Will this work for downgrading to 4.2.2 with KT JB4.2 kernel?
Why would you guys want to downgrade to 4.3?
I can't imagine why anyone would want to downgrade back to 4.3. 4.4 was a huge breath of fresh air for me. Everything works smoother, looks better, better battery. What more so you want. Only thing I miss is the jelly bean game, I hate the kit kat game now. It seems like 4.4 is a lot llighter OS then 4.3. Less parasitic loss on my phone I guess you can say.
I main reason I would want to downgrade to 4.2.2 (XXUDMH8) if I ever end up with KitKat or 4.3 is so JKay Deluxe will work. It appears JKay has completely abandoned development.
thanks

We are getting closer to some KitKat goodness and potential custom ROMs!
Looks like we will be going straight to 4.4.3, just need a timeframe, at least we have not been forgotten.

Hey
Great. This is only a few hours old. I've been working in my garden. But why 4.4.2?
I crack myself up. They should have released 4.4.3. Never mind, now I just need a dump and some updated sources.
About your problem; this is Samsung in a nutshell, but I'll do my best to release a 4.4.2 kernel and system as soon as I can. Hopefully I'll be able to make it compatible with 4.2.2 and 4.3 bootloaders.
Stay tuned.

According to SamMobile, Samsung has ignored our device. True, but why?
Ok, this is my personal opinion. The GT-I9506 is outstanding, making it a direct threat to the Galaxy S5. As you know, the S5 features a Snapdragon S801...just an overclocked S800. No magic in that. I can do the same, well to be honest...I already did for my own phone. It's a piece of cake to overclock. But the fact is, do we need it? For myself; nice to have but not need to have.
I'm pretty sure that we can do the same as the S5, and even more. But with the new S805, we WILL loose, no doubt about that.
Stay tuned guys, the game is about to begin.
