Hey guys! i got a question about the stock firmware update... i was all rooted and rom'd (fairly advancd user) but i was having problems so i decided id odin back to stock for a while to see if it helped the problem (3g data dropping). so i was on bone stok dl09 and did the normal ota updates that brought me to version 2.2.2... and last time i was on stock (about a month ago) that was the latest update. but then my phone started downloading a new firmware update... and it seems like a really big one (so far taken about 20 minutes...could be my connection but im not s sure). so what i want to ask is if this update has gotten to anyone else's phones and if so, what is it?!
thanks in advance

I have never had the need but I am considering rooting. One item I am concerned about is the ability to get firmware updates after rooting. Do they still prompt/download? If not what do you guys do about this?
NEVER take a firmware update when you're rooted; thats never a good idea. Devs usually get the updates, cook them in the roms, then you would flash the updated rom over your current (if its same) or flash the newly rooted rom. Alot easier than it sounds, you'll get the hang of it. 9 out of 10 times accepting firmware updates will remove root. Just ask the retards that accepted the 2.3 GB update on their Evo 4G lol. Had to wait abt 3 months for root ...
I Keep getting the latest firmware update avaiable for my galaxy 10.1 ( WifI) each time I download it , it restarts goes up to 27% the reboots and state unable to do update and it advises me to use Kies, the only problem is I cannot connect to kies.
Does anyone know where I can get the lastes firmware update and I can install via Odin or CWM? I just started getting this lastest firmware update about 3 days ago and I normally check for updates every day an normally there is nothing avialable until 3 days ago and Help would be greatly appreciated. I saw a link where there was a firmware posted but that thread was started back around Jan 9 so I'm not sure if that is the lastest firmware and if so not sure my my tablet never saw it whenever I would do and update check. So again any help would be greatly appreciated.

This is the latest firmware...flash in Odin..will probably wipe everything....good luck!!
Thanks for the response but this is not the firmaware i'm looking for, this firmware upgrade is only 16mb that keeps coming up on mine. The one for over 386mb I installed that one a month ago, the one that is constanly flashing on mine and I cannot install also states it has updated market and again it's only 16mb in size

Thanks for the imput, what rom do you use? Ive looked at a few but still curios what everyone like best

Hello,
Long time reader here. I finally made an account recently because I finally wanted to Root my phone and mess around with Cyanogenmod.
My question is this: I have an unlocked, unbranded Samsung GT-i9300 that I purchased from Newegg back in the summer time and I have still yet to receive any sort of update (still on 4.0.4). Can someone explain to me the whole stock updates scenario? I would have thought buying an unlocked, unbranded phone I would have at least gotten updates faster than the Verizon S3. Now.. I know I can flash Cyanogenmod and be done with it. Which I have which leads me to the last question. What happens if I flash my phone with the 4.1.2 stock rom that was just released in Poland recently? Will it work? Why wouldn't it? Does the baseband really matter as far as compatibility? (PDA? CSC?)
Thank you for your time.
I answered my own questions. Thanks for looking
I was so excited I forgot to elaborate a little.
I was successfully able to root my phone using cf root / odin, install clockworkmod recovery, install cyanogenmod 10 then re-flash back to stock using triangleaway, and a stock rom from samsung firmware using odin.
I had thought I bricked my phone when it was in an endless loop on the splash screen but I was able to get into android recovery mod and do a format/wipe/clean cache. *phew*
Hey guys, I just did an OTA sw update (spanish official 4.1.2 rom, rooted & no other modifications).
Since it didn't contain any useful info other than it's a software upgrade, I'm confused about it. What did they upgrade for me? Was it rom related? I haven't noticed anything different about it so far.
Any info about it is welcome.

That 22 mb update will get you to LSD.
Thanks for the info!
Btw, just found out that the OTA has in fact failed, so I tried doing the upgrade via Kies. It went well, except for the fact the root has been removed by the update and I had to re-root. Also, the CWM I flashed a few days ago was gone too (but I used stock rom to root).
The changes I have seen with this update is only that my kernel now has a new build date (31. jan 2013).
can you post a review or comparison with your old rom (I assume it was LS8),

Well, I can't really post anything useful, since I was looking for "the perfect rom" from the moment 4.1.2 official appeared. Before that, I was on 4.0.4 official. The only real thing I've noticed (between this and all other roms I've tried out) is that I have a bit high battery drains if I keep WiFi turned on while at my office. I've figured it's something about the router itself (never use Apple made routers!), so I "fixed" it by not using WiFi at work.
Sorry for not being more informative, haven't really done any elaborate testing apart from noticing obvious things like battery drains. The only thing I can say for sure is - 4.1.2 >>> 4.0.4 and 4.1.2 official >>> custom roms for me.
>>I'm just curious if anybody else has received notification of a new update from AT&T recently, and if so, what was it?
I've had my E970 for about a month now. When I first received the LGOG, I did receive a FOTA notification and did the update. Then
I rooted, unlocked BL and installed TheBase.
Last night, I received another notification regarding an OTA software update being ready to install. Since I was actually ok with the stock LG ROM, I made a backup and then went ahead and let the update install.
Most of you won't be surprised to hear that the device rebooted into recovery, I received an error message, and the update failed.
Luckily, I didn't brick anything. I like all the information we get before allowing an app to install, and I can't believe there is no info given about what an update to our OS might contain. A version number [4.0.4 or 4.1.2?] and a short description saying bugfix / security fix / new features would go a long way here.
Personally, I kinda like the LG touches to Android and am looking forward to the official JB update.
I plan on sticking with stock-based ROMS on this device until it's no longer supported and then going back to CM.
I'm running Android 4.0.4
Baseband: APQ8064 / MDM9x15M
Kernel: 3.0.21
The Base 0.6.5
E97010l
I just checked for an update and...
now it says it is up to date?
I wish I had more information, and I DID search the forums and elsewhere to try and answer this myself first.
Now I'm thinking that AT&T is just trying to update me to their latest software and away from a custom ROM.
Incidentally, the OG is the first Android that I've actually done a FOTA on. I received the Atrix 4G and the X10a long after their release, and went immediately to custom ROMs.
It's just updates to E97010c. Nothing worth updating for.
