Incredible OTA Update 1.65.605.2

Has anyone else received this update?
Not here.
Los Angeles, CA
lol figures once i get root an update starts rolling out, it probably enables wifi n like they released for the EVO today.
1.22.605.2 is the software version i have (rooted)
It adds 3G Mobile hotspot and fixes the signal issue, im in a pickle now though lol. cant remove superuser
Not exactly a pickle - just don't do the upgrade, wait for someone else to take the OTA download and make it root-safe.
where did you confirm this info as to what the update offers?
I guess i am confused, what would happen if we did the update with our rooted phones?
Nothing. Because with rooted phones you won't see the OTA Update...but if you were to manually upgrade without it being root proofed....you'd loose root.
Wait - weren't we already at 1.22.605.2? That's what rev I'm running, and I haven't taken an OTA since the first few days after launch.

I'm confused to, so if you are rooted, you won't see this update? or you will see it and if you do it, you lose root? I have the stock rom, which is what I thought disabled your OTA's is this an incorrect thinking?

The name of this post is Incredible OTA Update 1.65.605.2 so even though we are at 1.22.605.2 that is not 1.65.605.2
Thats the thing, i was rooted and did get the OTA update notifications, hit accept for the update by mistake. And the only reason why i confirmed that info is because i have it on my inc.
P.S sorry lol made a type in the title of the post, its 1.35.605.2
So if you updated as root, did you lose your Root? It is not guaranteed that you would loose it, just likely is all. I feel like they released it to break our Root, and nothing more... but maybe they fixed a few issues too... we have the same screen grounding issue the EVO had, and the recent update fixed theirs... but who knows...
EDIT: Posted an article to an outdated update. Oops...
so i assume you lost root?
Yes i did.
I haven't seen it yet. <-- OHIO
have you tried redoing root? did you loose recovery?
I havent tried redoing the root process again, but how is that going to work? isn't the root process based off of the original software? the baseband is different as well.
Haven't seen it yet either <-- Rhode Island
Didn't find any information on it either. Was their a "more info" link included with yours? as with other OTA updates. Changelog, etc.?
Better question would be, do you have a screen shot of your About Phone page (baseband, software version, etc.)
somebody who gets the update needs to upload the file so a dev can do something with it.

[Q] OTA Update and Root?

I read somewhere that there might be an OTA available when I first turn on my phone. I'm getting my phone tomorrow and was wondering if someone has taken the update and then rooted yet?
Wondering if the update will screw me on getting rooted.
Thank you in advance on any input you have.

I got phone on Monday, but still haven't got update
The update was for the international version. Tmobile hasn't released the update yet.

T800 update today

I was notified today 6/1/15 there was a update available. So, like I normally do I installed it. It was supposedly about stability and security. Can anyone give me some more info on this?

Be careful with any updates regarding security. Often these updates patch exploits which means you can lose root.
I do not accept any security updates and have updates to security policy disabled.
Just disabled security update, thanks. Don't you know I was going to root today or tomorrow! Guess I will see if I messed up.

Just received a device management update notification on my phone

It does not say what the heck it is, and I'm cautious about updating. Anyone know what this update does?

Probably a fix for the Stagefright vulnerability. http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-3-att/general/stock-receiving-update-t3177271
Im rooted on oc1 and want to know if this small update will break my root, so ill wait.
It is the stagefright patch. It will most likely break root if you update. All it fixes is stagefright and that's it. Nothing else.

I got the Update 2.5ui may be

I just got the update msg and i am afraid to update because if i do i may lose the Root and ect ha?!
I'm pretty sure you don't have the OneUI 2.5 update. Maybe the OneUI 2.1 but definitely not the 2.5 one. Even the S10/Note10 don't have it yet and we're after them. Also if you're rooted you shouldn't receive OTA updates at all. Can you attach a screenshot so it's clearer what you got?
This is what i got. May be it is or some security + software update
That was last months update.
The August update is ETH1
Ohh!!! Ok i thought it's the new one ??* if i update this i will lost root and may be boot loop?
I still think that if you're rooted you shouldn't have received this though. You sure you're rooted? Check with this app please just in case: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.joeykrim.rootcheck
Yes. Rooted and using all rooted apps in here
