There was a system update yesterday but I didnt know whether to flash it. It was a mere 5.36 MB so I decided to flash it anyway. The phone rebooted and took me straight to the android exclamation screen and stayed there for a while. I had to hard reset my phone in order to get it up. No problem since then but when I checked for software updates again in settings it shows me that an install is pending. Do I install it again. Anyone else faced a similar issue? Also how did I get this OTA. Obviously I am on a custom ROM and it clearly shows OTAs disabled in the final update as shown in the link below

OTA is not disabled in the v3 rom, I also I have received the update, is an official update one S which is the basis of the nik ROM when flashing the update that damages everything so you do not have to do
Hi All,
Im on the Official ICS ROM INDIA...4.0.3 DDLP4
Yesterday, when i checked kies, there was an update waiting (No Update on OTA). The downloading of firmware was taking ages to download(3.2mbps connection) and after about 70 percent the downloading stopped and Kies said "Connection stopped"....
Any body who has downloaded the F/W can you please post the change log (If you find any).. I mainly wanna know, if the laggness of the lock screen and slowness to open contact's and capturing pics has been rectified.

Ah glad that i have company.sad at the same time!! Even i have the same problem after the 7mb OTA update. The andriod process closes often and hangs the phone.The phone was literally unusable. Hence i tried to install custom gingerbread rom on it. Now its almost completely bricked.How irresponsible is samsung to roll these things out without testing it thoroughly.
***PLEASE DON'T INSTALL THE 7MB ICS OTA UPDATE***
hopefully we can save some.
I also tried to update through OTA but it was failed and message popped up that do update through Kies. Now I got update through Kies and my firmware changed from DDLP4 to DDLPA. However I lost Root.
I also received the update notification. Downloaded the 7.8 mb update within a minute and asked for reboot. Everything worked fine and nothing special noticed. It just changed the build no. from IML74K.DDLPA to IML74K.DDLP8

you mean LP8 to LPA? check your kernel version date. if it shows 12 June then fine, else your kernel has not been updated.
Hey guys basically its stability update. my phone feels much smoother now. i updated OTA via wifi, i also faced update not installed issue and i found out the problem, basically we all root our device that means we change SU binaries so when updating phone OTA it checks for those binaries and if these binaries are not official OTA update get aborted. i solved this problem like this,
1) I have downloaded STOCK LP8 firmware from samobile.com when it released
2) As my phone is rooted my SU binaries are changed so OTA update is aborted.
3) So FLASHED Stock rom LP8 from PC ODIN which kept my all DATA, APPS intact i just lost my root and some mods like 15toggles status bar and so..
4)then i started updating my phone using S/W update in settings, its 7.85MB file.
5)In few minutes my phone is updated to LPA
6)Now i again rooted my phone and my all data apps are intact and mob is much improved in stability.
Hope this will help you guys.

kernel is definitely updated in LPA. just flash LPA ROM file using Odin.
I also agree with what mullarameez has pointed out. rooting might be the reason for kernel being skipped. because if u flash LPA with odin you will lose root and hence get the new kernel.
Is there a way to update Kernel without flashing the whole 650 mb rom?
with all the issues in ICS, i think it would be safest if you would flash using the whole LPA ROM. I know its a pain to download but worth it in the end.
OMG! just a 7Mb update took 2hrs to download.. Hmmmm...
My main prob was with Lock screen, camera and contacts.. Noting has been resolved on this new Update!!!
what is the issue? is it lag?
This is confusing..
I have everything stock on my phone..All updates done OTA since i bought the phone..Not rooted..
Still the kernel says 12 May after the 7mb update..Why?? Although the deep sleep issue (sore point for me) seems to have been resolved after this update...
PS: The build info after *#1234# says 12 June, if that matters..
yes, almost all the users who updated OTA have the same issue. you may flash the new LPA using PC Odin from doc's post (anyways you're not rooted so no problem)
I'm currently running latest Eclipse ICS ROM with SS v3.11. Just started getting "com.process.google.gapps has stopped" and "Google Play services have stopped" error messages nonstop, constant. Tried a couple recommended fixes, didn't work. Had been fine with Eclipse ROM up to this point but decided it's time to upgrade to JB.
So...
Booted in stock ROM slot via SS. Downloaded the OTA update, tried installing 3 different times. Upon reboot, all three times said the update failed.
First question: I assume I need the JB OTA update prior to flashing a JB ROM, correct? If so, any reason why the update is failing to install? Will I have to do anything with root and SS prior to and/or after OTA update?
Second question: Once I get the OTA to install, which Bionic JB ROM has proven most stable? I want few frills, fast, simple, clean. Any recommendations?
Really appreciate any help and advice, thanks as always all!
If anyone's curious, figured it out. Uninstalled recovery in stock rom, saved root with voodoo, installed 4.1.2 OTA manually.
I bought the T-Mobile HTC One and then promptly flashed the Google Play edition 4.2.2 ROM and then after that I flashed the 4.3 ROM a few months ago when it came out. But just a few minutes ago I got an OTA notification for 4.3.
I never converted using and RUU or changing the CID/GID or anything complicated like that, I just flashed a ROM in TWRP. Anyone got a clue whats going on?

It will still give you the OTA notification and let you download it, it just wont install because of your custom recovery among many other things.
4.3 Build JWR66Y.H1

That last part is not quite true, It will install
I just updated with this 15Mb update to 4.3 Build JWR66Y.H1
It booted me into TWRP and installed the update, then rebooted into system, only issue is it's not rooted anymore

Thats odd. Maybe it can install minor updates then. When I got the OTA for 4.3 from 4.2.2, TWRP had no clue what to do with the update file and just rebooted.
I am running the official Samsung JB 4.1.2
and every couple of weeks i get a reminder to run a Software Update (37.22 MB)
All it says is "Improved stability"
When i install it it seems to go ok but after it reboots the phone says "Failed to update firmware, try again using PC software (Kies) or visit a samsung service centre"
I then get another reminder approx a couple of weeks later to install it again. This has been going on now for a couple of months.
anyone know why this update wont install.
Are you rooted with a custom kernel? If yes then you can't install OTA. Kies will help you update easily.
