System Update

I woke up to a System Update notification this morning. I have yet to install it as I can't find any info on what it will do and if it breaks anything. Has anyone installed the system update yet?

If you haven't installed the LI3 update (Sprint Community: 9/19 - Samsung Galaxy S III Software Update - L710VPLI3), then this is what it is. If so, then I'm not sure what it is.

That's the L8>L13 update that many people have already downloaded manually. Build number is IMM76D.L710VPAL13, Baseband version L710VPL13. I haven't had any problems since I updated a couple of days ago. Wifi is faster, along with several other operations. So don't be afraid to load it.

Thanks for the info. I haven't checked out the forums in a bit and wasn't aware an update was coming. I'm updating as we speak.

Will this break root?

If you have removed the bloatware you will not be able to update. Without flashing and updated rom. See this thread.

Thanks Skunkape. I was just over at XDA looking as freeza's thread and got a bit confused with the several different links available. Thanks for the info.you provided in THIS POST, I've got the files downloading now and will be flashing as soon as I get them copied over to my external SD card.

Thanks again, Skunkape. I flashed the two .zip files and everything appears to have gone smoothly.
