Um explanation would be great
Judging by your status bar, you've made modifications to your phone. You need to be stock unrooted for the OTA to take. What changes have you made?

I will be buying a friend's totally stock VZW S3. I've heard some horrible things about the most recent OTA update and I would like to make sure this phone doesn't haven't it. How can I tell? If it does have it, what do I need to do revert back?
I've been a Moto user primarily, and this will be my first Samsung.

If he has the update you can just Odin back to the previous OTA.
LOL, yeah, I know how to get to that screen.
What I need to know is what System Version, Android Version, Baseband Version, Kernel Version, or Build Number the OTA update and pre-OTA updates are.

It should look like what I posted.
The "bad" OTA update would look like this:
OK, got it. "MB1" vs "MD3" in the Baseband Version.
Thanks.

:thumbup: that's correct, keep in mind it's no big deal at all to revert back if it was updated to the dreaded md3
Hello, sorry if this has been asked but I can't find the answer anywhere. Is it possible to root my note 10.1 and still get OTA updates and it will still keep root. Also what are some benefits that you will get for rooting on this device. I used to have a Asus Transformer and I was able to root it and still have OTA updates and it would stay rooted.
I think that the benefits of root are in the Apps that requires root.
Some examples:
*Gesture control
*multiwindow manager
*spen control

You can be rooted and still get ota updates by keeping stock recovery. Updates will most likely remove root but as long as they don't lock the bootloader you will always be able to root again. Easily.

Go to sammobile.com and use ODIN or Mobile ODIN to flash updates/rom...
You need official in download mode and official in status is order to get ota. I was rooted with official status in both areas but certain apps trigger the custom mode. I did triangle away to get official in download mode but you need to do a reset to rid the custom in status... and I cant be bothered to set mine up again so havent done it.
Search for triangle away in the store.

I saw on the Internet that KitKat 4.4.4 with security bug fixes has been launched only for nexus 5 through OTA but when I check for updates, the phone says your system is up to date. I'm running stock android 4.4.3 unrooted. Why is this happening? Any help regarding this?
P.S. - I don't want to update using factory images. Only using OTA. Want to know why my phone is unable to get the update.
Thank you

They roll out in stages. You'll have to be patient or check out the ota help in the general forum and download the ota zip

Don't worry. I've not received it either. Google sucks with updates and gives absolutely no change log or support. Apple walks all over them in this area. I've read it may take two to three weeks for everyone to get it.

and thats why on update day at apple it takes 12+ hrs for the update to download because their servers are hammered.
pick your poison.
I'd definitely take the staged rollout. No question. Then again, I never wait for an ota. There are plenty of other options available if you're not patient enough to wait. Even waiting for the ota, you'll still get the update before most other devices. Some won't get it at all. Wait, or go a different route. Simple.

I don't understand why people who are so desperate for the update don't just install a custom recovery and flash the zip.
Or just adb sideload like a savage.

Hi,
If rooted do we still get updates from google? or you have to stay updated via the ROM's update?
Thanks
Of your talking apps then yes, if your talking the OS, you shouldn't. But if somehow is ask to update, pass on it, it will unroot your phone

Has anyone received the Pie update yet in the U. S.? I'm referring to OTA from HTC.

it is a year that I wait for the firmware .... for now still nothing
I'm not holding my breath. I have little faith in HTC these days. Downgrading to Nougat from Oreo solved most of my issues. Pie will just give me more.
in germany the Pie update is OTA with update function available.
but i don't have update, because i use Magisk and XprivacyLua... i don't know how i can do it in best way. Next days i will read her...
I have a copy of the US unlocked OTA zip but i desperately need help trying to fix the phone
got it today. can't remove notification bar clock. can't get new home button to work due to Gesture settings.
