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!!!

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?

OTA's always break root, that is what OTA rootkeeper is for!

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

Didn't know Voodoo RootKeeper worked on this. Have on my Asus tablet and never failed me yet. You are hereby knighted with your first "thanks"

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.

JB 4.2.1 FLASHABLE OTA UPDATE
And, after the 4.2 update I provide the 4.2.1 file for who doesn't get the OTA notification
the file is a 1mb zip and corrects few bugs (santa is back)
I didn't made it, all gredits goes to GOOGLE
DOWNLOAD

If this helped ckick thanks button
Just a heads up, if you're running the stock android browser you'll need to put back the two /system/app/browserproxy* files you had to move/rename. The 4.2.1 patch seems to update them, and for some reason I don't have to take them back out to keep using the stock browser (i'm using version browser version 4.2.1)...?
Does this remove root? And would flashing the update that popped up on my tab cause me to lose root?

I'm not sure if it was because of Voodoo OTA Root Keeper, or CMW6.x asking to keep root, but mine stayed, as did the custom recovery.

YES it does!
I had to reflash 4.2, as if I re root via Nexus Tool kit I lose custom cwm touch recovery.
Will leave this update until the removal of root is fixed.
Can I flash this trough twrp without losing root privileges

Flashed this with voodoo root keeper and all is good. Updated with root intact. Thanks guys!!

Well, in this particular case, Google is your friend.

Thanks. I've tried this but still no joy. Maybe I should just sit tight and wait it out.

Ever think about rooting? Update whenever you want to
You can do like me when I first root my gnex download nexus root toolkit unlock boot loader and download factory image from Google "just google nexus factory image" download the one you want. Flash it using factory reset tool from tool kit and root if you want you can even relock bootloader

Thanks for the tips. Will try rooting option.

ppl always confuse updating the software with rooting. You DO NOT need to root your device to update it. Not at all! I also always advise not to except you really need to usr some specific app. To update your GN you just need unlocked bootloader and fastboot.exe.
I cannot post links yet but just google for android factory images and go the the google site and get the one for yakju or takju/for google wallet/.

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
Sent from my Nexus 5 using xda app-developers app
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
