OTA update info?

Can anyone fully tell me what this includes? And what will happen if I update it while I have a custom rom on my phone?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] joemm:
@bikrame ....enjoy the thanks....lol.....I hit thanks on accident in your post above ^^

On another note theres a free app in the market call "Bloat Freezer" thats totally free and will freeze device manager to stop the update notifications...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] -greenboy-:
what is that OTA update is about?

what issues they addressed and what they add?

anyone can comment on that?

I have ClockMod Recovery installed and backed up my current rom, if I get that update can I still go back to my restore?

any list posted my tmobile what they fixed and what they add?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] joemm:
If you want to stop the update notification download bloat freezer from the market its free and use it to freeze device manager and it will stop the update notifications.... I used it, works fine.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bbobarino:
Yes I can do that with titanium. What I am asking is I postponed

Already the notification has a clock next to it. It is due to update 2morrow morning. I ain't trying to get rid of notification I want to get rid of the update so I don't lose root. Thank u for the feedback

My gf accidentally accepted the update earlier this morning but it looks like it didn't take. She still has root. She said when she picked her phone back up it was "on a blue screen with a hat" (Clockwork) so I'm assuming the update failed.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] themarking:
unable to update

i have the stock rom with root. i actually tried to update, but every time after i hit "start", the phone just pauses and restarts itself. it'll come back to the clockwerk screen with options on top. for example, "reboot system", "backup and restore"...etc.

can anyone tell me how would i get the update? once i'm updated to 2.3.6, would i have to reinstall all the apps? contacts? pix...will they be gone?

thanks a lot, and merry xmas :)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] nezmarti:
Same thing happened to me yesterday morning. I'm on juggernaut v3.7, once i clicked start my phone rebooted into CWM. rebooted phone again and update prompt kept coming up.

Used bloat freezer to freeze "device management" and pompt went away. :D
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] TheSeanTeam:
Use titanium backup. Clear Data & Freeze device management 10. That should get rid of it!

Hope that helps. Good luck!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] abctilly:
End of thread

To summarize, the OTA is for 2.3.6 and it features wi-fi calling.

If you want to stay on your custom rom and want to get rid of the annoying notification use Titanium Backup (donate version) to clear the data of Device Manager and 'freeze' it, then REBOOT. We can always wait for the dev's to update their roms.

If you would rather go ahead and update, if it even works you will lose root, and a user claimed that he re-rooted after that and is still on stock rom and it runs fine, if not better. BEFORE you do this, or update to any other rom ALWAYS backup in clockworkmod. If something went wrong or you need to root, use Melvin's how-to guide which uses Odin I believe.

Thanks for the replies, and just courtesy posting for those who keep posting without reading the thread first...

Software update with custom rom

I received an OTA software update after flashing eagleblood. Is it ok to do the update?????
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] maguin4:
when I try to upgrade, I also get stuck in clockwork recovery.

so I just froze device manger using bloat freezer until someone can figure it out.

too bad, because I'd really like to use the video chat feature in g chat.

[Q] T-Mobile Update

I woke up this morning to find that there was an update waiting for my phone (an "official" update). I am running Juggernaut-v3.7 too? Thought it was odd and was wondering if anyone else has encountered that today.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] thechamp254:
I got that promt while using beast4.2 all I did was backup apps and such, then reflashed the rom with a full wipe,haven't gotten it since. Beastly rom said they was working on 2.3.6 so till then we wait

*update-I used system tuner and uninstall system app device management 3.0 that's the answer

Welcome to the DARKSIDE

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] tomcat512:
I have the same problem, and I don't think you can do the updates either since you're running a custom rom.

hey guys a heads up as well, if you are comfortable doing it you can use root explorer and navigate to /system/app/wssyncmldm.apk and delete that app, that is the device management application. Just did it on mine and it immediately removed the notification.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] mikeb85:
I am running beastmod 4.2 got the prompt and said screw it ill be a Guinea pig and try it I can confirm as it said a few pages back it just reboots to clockwork and doesn't take the update... but on a better note the damn notification is gone...

i tried using the wipe data and the notification was still there so i tried the root explorer and deleted the apk and it worked

tmobile stock rom .. did a root using odin.. now I have the OTA and it just goes to CWM recovery and does nothing.. id like to install the update.. not sure how I can unroot it.. i dont have stock tmobile rom.. i could use any help.. to figure this out.. so i can figure out how to unroot the phone. i read some folks could install the update without issue inspite of root.. and had to reroot again later..

however in my case it didnt do either.. it just boots to CWM recovery.

i know its an OTA but can we maybe get the file (zip) put it on the sd card and just update from sd card? is that 2.3.6 udpate available anywhere to download??

appreciate the help ...!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bikrame:
In android development section there is stock rom download link. Download and update via cwm. I did same thing.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] maguin4:
SOLVED... at least for my setup. i'm running the stock ROM but was rooted with CWM installed.

Installing the latest update was easy. All I did was install Kies from the Samsung website. Plugged the phone into my computer and it installed the update. Took about 30 minutes total.

It did break my root and installed the stock recovery again, but I just rerooted using the ODIN method. A plus was that all my apps and settings were preserved.

Couldn't have been more painless. Just make sure you do the regular backups first, just in case. Also, the battery needs to be at least 60% charged or Kies won't install the update. Hope this helps!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] SCossio:
Can you share the link to download the kies program? I searched for it and I get to a samsungapps page but no download link.

I have a notification from T-Mobile alerting me that an OTA update is available and they will not allow me to cancel it. The only thing I can do is postpone it for 1 day maximum.

I'm currently rooted and running the Juggernaut ROM. I'm nervous about this as I don't know what an OTA update will do to my device.

Will I be alright just letting the OTA update do its thing? Should I revert back to the stock ROM before it auto updates tomorrow?

Any advice will be greatly appreciated.

There is already a thread on this best way seems to be wipe data for device manager and freeze it with titanium back up
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Exodian:
You can't flash it unless you have stock recovery. Use titanium backup or another app freezer to freeze device manager to get rid of the update notification or revert back to stock to update.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] samdobbs:
Thanks -- planning to try this method -- I have the same setup I think (stock rom, rooted, CWM recovery).

Quick question: did you do anything else before Kies e.g. Nandroid restore, unfreeze apps, Odin anything? Or just
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] maguin4:
all I did was back up my rom and apps, just as a precaution. then updated via kies. it was eat as pie. good luck!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] JahJahLoO:
Not a total expert but..

Some of you guys already posted similar messages already seen on other threads, rooted devices should just flash an updated ROM in the development section.

I don't think the root would let the update go through, I know mine didn't...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] samdobbs:
How did you back up the rom? Does Kies (or CWM or TitaniumBackup) have an option to back up rom?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] bikrame:
You can back up ROM via CWM.

I had the same problem, stock rom and rooted. I downloaded kies from samsung and the update worked flawlessly, but undid the root. After that I rooted again using ODIN and that went flawless as well. I did however keep getting the OTA update from tmobile. I used bloat freezer and now everything is great.

Help please

:(:(i havent rooted yet but i was going to but then i upgraded to new version 2.3.6 n all the how to root videos are for version 3.2.5 so should i fallow the same proccess still to root?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] crz6662:
Not true. Rooted stock rom, bloatware removed, with Titanium, CWM. OTA update did install. 2 problems though. took Root away and the ota update notification kept notifying me every hour even after the update. T-Mobile said Samsung pushes the update "for" them, and they are aware of the problem.

Screw that. Ended up rooting/flashing BeastMOD 4.2. Glad I did.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] 6lock:
I'm was running the typical setup, rooted with stock rom and CWM. I got the OTA message and should have left it alone or removed the apk...

So I did a nandroid backup first. Then I tried the Kies update like a few other posters said that they did successfully and it failed. Now it always boots to this screen "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue. Please select recovery mode in Kies and try again." I tried doing the firmware emergency recovery twice now since Kies will prompt to do that. It gets to the point "firmware emergency recovery in progress... Do not disconnect your device from the PC." It doesn't get past 0% and a Notice pops up "Firmware emergency recovery stopped due to SGH-T989 error. If the problem persists, please contact the Samsung service centre."

I guess it's time to put together the jig with the parts I have. I'm hoping that will let me get past the f'd up recovery screen and get to CWM to restore what was working. Otherwise I guess I could try using Odin to load up a stock firmware? Any suggestions would be helpful.

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] samdobbs:
Any luck loading a stock ROM with Odin? What happens when you boot into recovery (without Kies)?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] 6lock:
I cannot get into Recovery... I wish. I have tried a USB Jig to see if it would clear the Odin Mode screen saying, "Firmware upgrade encountered an issue." That did not work. I have tried using Odin to flash the stock kernel and that failed. Now I'm going to try the whole process here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1321811 and start with the stock rom, then the kernel, then the stock recovery. I will let you know what happens in a few minutes.

If I could just get it to boot again I could probably reroot and use CWM to reload my backup...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] 6lock:
OK... I think I'm screwed. I failed to flash the stock ROM. It doesn't matter if it's a soft brick if Odin flashes don't work. I need my phone to work by tomorrow, so I guess I'll go over to Tmobile and have them reactivate my old phone.

UPDATE: Just FYI if it will help you. I was able to use Odin to flash the Stock Recovery. I'm not sure why it would flash that when everything else wouldn't, but it did it successfully and I was able to boot up. Since my phone is working I'm hesitant to try anything else right now.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] samdobbs:
Great to hear that you were able to recover! Where did you get the stock recovery? I presume the stock recovery has/had access to the stock rom on the sdcard? I suppose you could now just upgrade OTA when you get the Tmo prompt. But I understand your hesitation ...
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] 6lock:
Me too! Life is good now. I used the standard stock recovery from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1319830 and just flashed using Odin. I believe I used the working link from jangst123 to download the rar file. I was surprised that it booted up OK after all the failed flashing of the rom and kernel. I didn't use the stock recovery to access any rom/zip on my SDcard because it was able to boot up immediately.

Yeah I'm not sure when I'll do the update. I'll probably just freeze the Device Manager app with Root Uninstaller for now.

I use Titanium Backup Pro to freeze the Device Management app in the phone. That does the trick for me. If you don't have the pro version of Titanium Backup you can try to find a free app that freezes apps. You can try to remove it also but I am not 100% sure that it is safe to do.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] crz6662:
Interesting. I haven't seen it since I flashed. Still don't.

Maybe wipe and re-flash? Or delete wssyncmldm.apk and wssyncmlnps.apk as suggested.

Ota update

You guys can updtate to the new ota, and when it finish the update you guys can root the phone the same way u did with 2.3.5 its the same process for 2.3.6 ,, the only thing you need to install after you root the 2.3.6 its busybox , and done so if you recieve and ota update do it!! Theres no bricking or anything i just tried it myself.....
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] chicohonda91:
Just so you guys know, if you are on a custom rom and dont care much for the update you could use root explorer and navigate to system/app/ wssyncmldm.apk and delete it or move it somewhere in your sd card just in case. This will remove the ota message on your status bar. Hope this helped..

For the wifi calling you can flash the latest juggernaut rom but you'd have to upgrade ur modem to KL1 through odin(only the latest modem supports wifi calling). Or u can use an app called groove ip, you'd have to sign up to google voice first.
