I have a question, I already rooted my phone and put a bunch of mods, tweaks, and root only apps and I am still on the stock firmware (I haven't flashed any Roms yet). So I wanted to ask if I will still get the OTA updates from Google, or will I have to flash them myself

My bad about the title, first time making a topic so I thought I am suppose to write it there and I now I don't know how to change

I believe your phone will still download the update, but you will need to flash them from your recovery. That's how I understand it anyway.
Having root permissions itself will not stop you from successfully installing an OTA but any modification will. You can read more about the requirements to receive an OTA update here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2523217
Thanks. That helped a lot

More info please. What did you do?
What makes you believe that the update is for GB v2.3? Is this an OTA update from Verizon?
Sorry my question wasn't worded good. So here it goes LOL, I downloaded one of the leaks of Gb for the TB and I placed the file on my SD card and renamed it and shut the phone off held power and volume. Then I went through the steps and it started updating itself the when it finished it said error failure to update software to new. Once again thank you for responding to this I really appreciate all and any help.

Rooted or unrooted currently? I assume unrooted?

If you downloaded the RUU_Mecha_GINGERBREAD_S_VERIZON_WWE_2.10.605.1_Radio_0.01.78.0802w_3_NV_8K_1.41_9K_1.64_release_209273_signed.exe
Do not place on the SD card, is a Windows application to update your TB via Data cable.
Takes about 10-15 mins.
This is exactly as I did and worked without any problems.
On a further note...
A couple of days ago I rooted using the Revolutionary tool and flashed Clockwork recovery using ROM Manager then created a backup. Now I no longer have problems with constant ads, no verizon bloatware, and a full backup img of my rooted Gingerbread TB.
Unrooted can't don't know much about rooting with the method used. Actually I'm kinda scared, now I did root my Eris and my Incredible and LG Ally. But don't glum have to know adb.

There should be an unrooted zip file that you could flash via hboot floating around here some where or might look on Rootzwiki site as well.
I would also check the md5 of the files to make sure they match the numbers posted by the OP before I attempted to flash it

You guys were awesome thanks again. Nice to know when someone gets stuck there are people willing to help. And think I'm going to attempt rooting my TB. I know if I get stuck ill be ok.

The official ICS is already out?!
Also you can install OTA updates and keep root just install 'OTA RootKeeper' from the android market when you have successfully rooted your device
I didn't test it yet because I modded my stock rom too much and there wasn't an update >4.0.3 yet. But the app is from supercurio and will probably work well
you can flash a stock otA ICS 4.0.3 rom after rooting

I'm running Beans v8 and was just wondering if the OTAs are blocked automatically or if its something I'll need to do.
Wanted to ask cause I've been seeing some things about updates etc coming soon.
Don't wanna lose that unlocked boot loader!!!
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
Probably, even if it doesn't and you accept the OTA update it won't install it will just reboot and error out and boot back to your lock screen.

Pretty sure there's a FOTA blocker in there.
After seeing postings about a Verizon Galaxy S III update yesterday, I checked using "About device -> Software update" in Settings this morning.
A 30 MB download started and the update completed in about 5 minutes. Software Update says it was an update from LF2 to LG7.
Yeah and kills universal search and you cant disable the remote diagnostics if youre stock and not rooted.
Also several users have confirmed it will break root. They all were stock rooted with stock recovery.

I am on the Stock rom, rooted and bootloader unlocked Using Voodoo OTA RootKeeper, EZ-Unlock, and CWM. Re-Locked bootloader, disabled root, took the update. After the update completed, CWM asked to disable the new boot image, selected yes. Rebooted, got a message saying the update failed, however it installed and I am at I535VRLG7. I was able to restore root, and unlock bootloader without any problem..
How do I keep the phone from taking the update?

You will probably lose root and have to redo. Might cause issues worse than that

Did you unlock your bootloader? If so did you read the BIG WARNING?if not go back and read it. Generally once you root you don't want to give vzw a chance to unroot you. If you unlocked your bootloader It could brick your phone.
So generally don't take ota updates! You wait for the devs to check them out First and modify them for us.
As far as i Can tell this ota just takes stuff away from us And installs some vzw remote access crap. ( with that on your phone you will have to go back to stock if you just call customer support for help)

The update itself has useful stuff (a new radio which fixes no sim issues), but we have that already and it should just be flashed by itself, imo.
Well got my first no sim with the radio epic fail.. So much for fixing that maybe just a push to get that bootloader relocked

Did you do it via OTA or flashed the radio? I'm hoping you flashed invisiblek's in Odin. That one was actually the wrong version.
Flashed the radio with Odin

Flash the CWM version. invisiblek accidentally bundled the previous radio in the Odin package. Not sure if it's updated yet.

I have been reading about guys excepting the update and just rerooting after, so I tried it. Now when I 'rerooted with root 66 it brought me back to vralf 2. I checked for the update again and I get a msg saying com.samsung.syncmlservice has stopped? Now I know the number one rule is don't except updates, so don't preach just looking for help.. Also if I restore and except update then root will It keep the vlraf7 after rooting. Sorry for the mouthful in advance.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda app-developers app
When you installed root66, what you essentially did was install a rooted version of VRLF2 over VRLG7. Probably the safest thing to do would be Odin back to complete stock, accept the update, then use a root method that takes advantage of an exploit rather than one that installs a rooted version of a ROM. There are other ways to accomplish what you want, but I think that would be the safest.
