Recieved a notification for a Software Update for my device

Just got a notification of software update for my device. Anyone updated theirs? I'm wondering if it's just carrier updates like how t mobile and Verizon just got for their devices.

Probably not and still have root access, but it seems it updated the baseband to MJ5. Still on 4.3.
I'm trying to find release notes for it.

Thanks bro, let me know what you find out. So I'm assuming that I can unroot, take the update and then root again?

I'm trying to get tech on the line with AT&T to find a release note somewhere. I found this about Sprint. I got the update and still no Knox app lol. You should be able to update it now but you will probably loose root access. Don't know till you try.

The only release notes that AT&T can give me is general performance enhancements.

Not on all the devices. There're things like survival mode and voodoo OTA that sometimes work. I'm just not familiar with how this device is going to work.

i just went to about phone, and it says I'm up to date. how is everyone else getting a notification?

I checked said the same thing that my current software is up to date

I'm gonna install the update right now and see if i can re-root again after...i'll let you guys know what happens
***Update wouldn't even install...it rebooted for the install, ran through the install process and once rebooted it gave me a message that said the install was interrupted and it couldn't install***

I was rooted,just updated, lost my root. I wasn't sure if you could even upgeade when rooted.

You can update while rooted but not with a custom recovery installed. We are able to update while rooted because we don't have a bootloader bypass and custom recovery.

How do you disable the automatic update? I stopped the update. Deleted the .apk using Root Explorer but I still get the notification that it's downloading the update. Perhaps I deleted the wrong .apk??? In any case, I stopped the update but now there's the stupid notification that the update's pending.

I'm not rooted at all and got that same update today. I went through the whole shabang, it restarted and said updated after the whole android is updating deal. Something weird happened after updating when I connected to Kies 3 for the first time ever. Its says "Your device is not supported to update firmware via kies" Current firmware version : PDA: MJ5 / PHONE : MJ5 / CSC : MJ5 (ATT)
Anyone else come across this?? Like I said I'm not rooted and completely stock

D'oh!!! I never froze or deleted anything to stop the update. I didn't care if I got notification or not. I just had the icon this morning and prompts to update. BUT WTH?!?! It forced updated on me. what's up with that?! It normally prompt me to update or postpone, but this time it says restart to update. The only thing to do was hit continue and that's it. I couldn't stop it or cancel it.
So WARNING, if you wanna keep your root, disable the updates.

It's probably being pushed in segments. I'm sure it will pop up for you very soon.

I updated it and now my battery is draining way faster. It sapped like 2% in standby in 30 minutes.

Update for ATT D950 Today

I got an update that failed today because of root. I am going to put it in survival mode and try again. Has anyone else got the update?
I installed OTA Root Keeper and am seeing if I can get it to take.

Well I am not getting the update now. I was sitting at my desk when the update hit and it rebooted on its own and the errored out. Interesting?

I got the update about an hour ago. It rebooted my phone and installed 2 updates.
I didn't get any errors.

Yeah just got it like 20 minutes ago. Not rooted yet though.

Just got the update as well... Anybody know what was in the update?

I was trying to find where it downloaded. Any ideas where to look? Admittedly I am not very knowledgeable but I know some basics. Im using root explorer to try and find it do I need to plug it in and use adb? It downloaded on my phone im pretty sure but then failed when it rebooted and tried to install.

is the update V10I ??? its been out for a few days now, If so I`m trying to Obtain it and someone wanted to charge me $30 for it.. What a jerk lol.

Auto Update on Rooted Flex AT&T
Just letting everyone know as far as i know i was sleeping the other day and woke up to my phone saying that it had installed 2 updates without any consent from myself. I was a little upset once i saw this cause i had previously rooted my phone. But to my surprise i never received any messages with errors. I also ran root checker and everything seems to beer in working order. I never lost root and now my phone is updated. Hopefully this doesn't prevent me from getting twrp, or cwm. But I'm going keep my fingers crossed.

I saw the update but it never downloaded for me.

[Q] Help me about the update!!!

Hi everybody, I'm a new user. I just bought a new G2 phone of Verizon and I don't know how to update it up to 4.4.2. The seller told me that I could use the flashtool to update it, but I can image to do that. I've read a topic that guides us to do that but it's not so clear.
It's here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2699123&page=37
So can anybody do me a favour by letting me know the concrete process? Do we need to connect the phone to the PC to run the adb shell or we can do it on our phones? How we open the adb shell on our phones?
And one more thing, I have to mention about the "auto rotate". Does anyone have a problem with it after update?

In settings at the bottom there's an option for system update. I didn't use a computer for the update, all OTA! As soon as I got the phone and got my wifi set up, a pop-up came up on my phone alerting me to an update. Both mine and my wife's...

T-Mobile doesn't lock their bootloader. Is there some reason to believe that will change with Android 5.0? It certainly will undo root.

Ive been a HTC guy. new to Samsung and I have the at&t version, I want to return it and get T mobile again. I just wanted to know if this was going to be for nothing, after the lollipop update.
It's been so mush fun hex editing, s-off and all that stuff. and if it will continue after the update. from what I've read they are changing the way the kernel boots up.
thanks for the help.

there might not be any other way; after all, 5.0 encrypts your entire phone, so one could assume the bootloader has to be locked for that to happen..
we'll see in a few weeks, most likely

if I am not mistaken if we are rooted we can block the OTA updates. is this correct?

well, no one HAS to take an OTA update, and, if you are rooted, make sure you do NOT take the update..
If you are rooted and on a custom rom, the odds are you wont even get a notification that there is an update..

In past TMO Samsung phones, custom recovery changed the Current Binary setting from Samsung Official to Custom. That alone disabled OTA updates. I suspect it's the same on the N4.Perhaps someone who rooted prior to the NJ7 update can confirm.

Just be sure to read the posts about s-health and private mode. If you can, don't use s-health until after you root and if you plan on using it, disable secure storage in wanam. Otherwise you're going to get some annoying lag.
Also if you're going to flash a custom ROM and want to use the fingerprint scanner, make sure you use the scanner on the stock ROM first. Folks are having issues on custom ROMs if they've never used the scanner beforehand.

At&t update - 9-25-2015

I decided to try pressing the update button and it actually said there was a update available. It is downloading right now. I was on the latest update before this.

Downloading now as well, 670.86 MB file.
Can anyone confirm yet that this is 5.1.1? Or something else?

I imagine they'll update this page with a changelog whenever they officially announce the update:

You can try setting the date 1 day forward, worked for me.

I'm so surprised that AT&T released an update. Now if only there was a way to do what they've done with the regular GS6 on XDA and make mini updates for those of us still on OE2

Will there be a way to retain root and upgrade from OE2

I see the version change to 5.1.1 also, I heard RAW image support was going to be added to camera but I don't see that.

I get a error every time I try to install the update. Does anyone have any suggestions?

No, I think i remember back when every else got the updated they said RAW is support but you had to download a camera app that supports RAW. It wasn't added to the stock camera.

If you are looking for a big change and a big reason to unroot and update. There isnt. I was rooted with 5.0.x for over a year. I loved it but got bored. I unrooted and went to stock 2 days ago and was going to root again until I saw this update today. It's snappy, clean fully of bloat but disabled a crap load of apps. It's OK but like I said if looking for a big change. Wait till 5.1.1 has a solid rooted rom first.

I installed the update yesterday and overall my phone runs MUCH better, multitasking is greatly improved and I've noticed I typically have much lower system ram usage than I had previously on 5.0.2. I did turn on Enhanced LTE and it still is draining my battery by quite a bit, I went to sleep last night at 59% and woke up at 36%, battery manager listed Cell Standby at 31% battery used. I also tried and was unable to enable UHQ Upscaler audio, not sure why that's the case. The option is simply greyed out.
