Hi guys,
Can anyone shed some light on this. Was told by someone there was a new update out. I have a rooted phone.
I saw the update and failed to remember what version they said was out but just clicked update anyway.
Downloaded the update fine, said yes to install and it all seemed to go through fine.
The phone rebooted and it said android was upgrading.
And yet I haven't noticed any changed such as someone telling me chrome OS is the main browser now and yet I can't see that.
Checked the version and it shows 81.5.39001.XT890.Retail.en.GB.
I checked for an update and it said there is no update at present.
So confused. Did it update? And if not, how can I do this on a rooted phone?
Thanks a lot for any help.
It updated fine
Thanks Phil, I thought the latest update however was 81.5.39002. Could be wrong though.
Nope, that's the latest version.
Cheers. The main suprise I had was that it retained my root which I didn't expect.

You can always check the stickied thread I made for the latest OTA Update files, don't have to wait for them to be fully pushed.

You don't actually have 39001 GB in there yet.
EDIT - just seen it, sorry.
Thanks all, I just couldnt see any major difference that was all between the old and new firmware hence another reason why I was a bit confused.
Hello, I purchased a used Galaxy gear and it has already been rooted, I have done a reset to factory settings but it still comes back as being rooted. My phone is rooted also so im ok with the watch being rooted but the only problem is that watch will not update to the latest firmware, it keeps going to firmware failed. How do i update to the latest firmware? Do i need to unroot the phone? and if so whats the best and easiest way to? If i can still update to the latest firmware with it still being rooted, how? Thanks!

The problem can be because of rooting your phone.
You can flash back to your Stock rom, the problem will be solved

Thanks, I actually connected it via PC and used KIES 3 and the update went just fine!! Now I am thinking about rather or not to update to Tizen... suggestions?
Also, after doing the update, it's no longer rooted. I didn't really use it for root purposes though.. I may reroot it late on or update it to Tizen.

Any AT&T users take this update? I don't think I am because I enjoy root too much. I assume this will kill the towelroot exploit.

I'm with you. Not going to apply it. Can't seem to get rid of the "software update is available" notification.... Any tricks for this?
Update....
Seems it attempted to install itself last night when plugged in. It failed, said I was rooted *gasp* and now the notification is gone Hurrah!

The only thing that I know of is that it will not update if the battery is low. LOL. Other than that, I do not know how to stop it as I understand updates are forced after denying them 3 times. I could be wrong.

Got the notification this morning and denied it. Froze the OTA in Titanium Backup so it didn't try and apply the update later.
I tried to update, but I got an error saying my phone was suspected of being Rooted.
has anyone un-rooted and then installed the update and then rooted it again?
*********ALSO********** Could someone upload the new APN Settings ? either in this thread or a new one?
I'm rooted but stock and took the update fine and keep the root... Luck maybe?
Same here @yuckycool. It auto updated, but root persisted.
Auto update and kept root as well. Towelroot method everything else stock.

sdcard error. had that with my lg g2. get a new sim card and factory reset it should be fine after. sucks but thats the only way i found to fix it
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.
Hello everyone. I got this phone about two weeks ago and it's been telling me there is an update available this whole time but I haven't done it yet. I've rooted an HTC One and an HTC Evo 3d before and I know in both cases there were times where taking an OTA update made it more difficult to unlock and root your phone. I don't know if that is the case for the G4 but I figured I would ask before I update. So, will taking the update affect my ability to root my G4 or is it safe to just do it now so I don't have to be worried about Stagefright? Thanks in advance for your help!
Root, twrp, update with the rooted n rom in dev section.

I successfully rooted and installed TWRP, CM12.1 on 81110n. So it's not a problem.
