New OTA Update Downloading......

I also have safestrap recovery should I uninstall it or not? Cuz the first attempt at installing the ota said update failed.

Got the update downloaded OTA , prior to installing, I'd like to save a copy first. Where can I find the file on my phone, anyone direct me to the appropriate path?

Glad to hear the resolution of the 4g data drops. It was a pain... Just finished downloading and installing. I like the new "About Phone" page too. I did not hear the Hallelujah Chorus, though...

You're welcome on the other post. You should turn Safe Mode off and uninstall Safestrap through its own option because when it's installed, it hijacks the boot loader which might interrupt the updating process. I'm not sure if that's totally correct technically but if you go back to as close to stock as you can, the better your chances of updating.

Not Soak, just did the ask in about phone, checking for updates, and it said it was available.

Here's the screen shot showing the version...

And here's the proof that OTA Rootkeeper works...

Thanks for this post. After reverting back for the OTA I got annoyed that the update wasn't coming through so I reflashed the leaked 173 and loaded 174. I now have definitive proof that I'm running current updates. Though what the guy who released the leak said made perfect sense to me (hence I reflashed before knowing for sure).

No go! Still says update FAILED!!! Why? Is due to the fact that I have safestrap installed as my recovery? Why can't I update!??

I believe that is correct--you need to use the uninstall option in Safestrap. When I applied the update manually, ALL instructions in ALL of the Web pages were very explicit that the only way to install the leaked update was via stock recovery.

So was it supposed to be 173 coming down or 174? I got 173.

173 is the build number. 174 is a leak that is suppose to fix some force close issue involving the search feature while in some screen.

update failing on my end as well. Trying for 3rd time. No safestrap, unrooted, all bloat intact and unfroze. Very weird.......
 
Just updated with the ota. Kept my root. No data problems that I can see of. Different icons. And before u ask no I'm not part of the soak test nor ever will be.
