maybe it's a revision. I believe it has to do with the numbers after the firmware number .230 R1A, R2D, etc.

yup it just changed from R1D to R2D
I don't have any number after. 230...
R2D2 XD
I too got the same notification yesterday. Will update today and check,
I hope it does not take away the root.
Even I got a 2 mb update with description as .230
Same here even I got the update. It seems better scrolling between multiple apps seems good.

This is just a 2 mb update i think. So by theory u will not lost root because this ota update do nothing in the file system.
Can somebody post ftf of that version because i dont get any update, I always must manually update it

Does somebody have list of updated files?

Yes, but there currently is no update available for LT30at.

You're right. That was odd, there was a notification saying an update was available. When I tapped, it told me I was up to date.

And actually you should not lose root with an OTA update.

Hello!!!!!
I finally got the OTA update in my country so what do you think guys? I got some questions here:
1- I update my device or wait for the next version?
2- im now rooted with dual recovery. I know i will lose the dual recovery but if i checked the survival mode in superSU app do i keep the root after the update?
Now i running existenZ 6.6.0 based on stock Rom with stock kernel (maybe?) and locked bootloader!
3- do i brick my device if updated now if im running this rom?
Please answer fast bcz i cant wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!:silly:
Thanks
All the best!
The OTA will fail, because it checks that /system isn't modified before updating. That check will fail because you're using a custom rom.

As @kingvortex said the update will fail as the system has been modified.
you will have to manually flash the ftf

Yes you can update from OTA but after update your root will be no more so you need to root it again...

You are correct that you can update OTA. Root can be retained by using, for example, the "Survival mode" of SuperSu Pro. ?
