For non-us version TF201 user, I have flashed many roms on my pad (WW, US, TW) but the OTA does not work at all. So I think the OTA based on the hardware, not only the software.
btw, I use adb to flash the rom. for people(us-version tf201) who cannot update to ICS, you can try to flash ur rom. after flash you will get complete and unroot .33 rom.

Hey guys,
I've been mucking around with my galaxy moving between some builds but ultimately have decided to go back to stock for now and wait for 4.0.3 to come out through my carrier.
Anyway, I restored from a CWM recovery image I had and out of curiousity went to update my phone as it's only at 2.3.3. Unfortunately it won't let me update OTA and won't let me update on Keis.
Now i've seen a few threads that say it should be updatable, a few that don't and a few that say both. I just need an information on what I need to do to be able to get the update to my phone and also to prepare it for the eventual ICS update.
Thanks in advance.

Restore Stock Carier from ODIN
Try restoring your carrier's stock ROM using ODIN.
The OTA update is carrier specific and might not work if you're not using the specific ROM provided by your carrier.
You can find a list of (some) official ROMs here:

Or you can google for it if it's not on the list.
I bought the phone in January sim free, for full price from my local mobile phone store. It is running stock android 2.3.4 (build number: GINGERBREAD.XWKI4). Its been in the online news a lot that ICS would be available by the end of Q1 but still, i am unable to update. I get a message saying my firmware is the latest available.
I live in New Zealand and as far as i understand you (USA) have ICS but what about for me? I'm assuming my phone is the international version so i thought i would have the update by now.
So does anyone know the full story?
Thanks
ICS hasn't been released by any of the NZ telcos yet (I checked with Checkfus). You can pretty much run any ICS stock (or custom for that matter) rom you want. Lots of Odin (mainly stock roms) & CWM flashable (mainly custom) roms on here (search the development sections).
One thing to bear in mind if you do flash a stock ICS rom from another region tho, you may have problems getting updates via Kies in future. If that happens, you'd need to flash a stock rom for your region in order to get Kies updates again. Or you could do what the majority of people on here do, bypass Kies completely (horrible excuse for software) & flash all your roms manually.
As long as you've got an I9100 or I9100T you can flash any firmware for these phones.
Fellow Kiwi here mate, just flash any ics rom thru odin. I've had no issues whatsoever, the latest Lp7 rom with speedmod kernel is the best I've had. You wont regret it.
I'm with telecom, they wont update anything quickly at all.
Hope this helps your decision
Hi, I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 on the three network. If I flash the H3G 2.3.3 firmware to the device using Odin will the OTAs still work? If not is there a way to flash the standard firmware back and have the updates working as normal?
Thanks
If you flash stock firmware for your region, you should be able to get updates OTA again. In saying that, I've seen more than a few cases where this hasn't been the case (Why ? No idea. Never happened to me/not important to me as I don't use stock firmware so I've never delved into the why).
So you can flash stock firmware, see if you can get OTA updates.
If not, might as well take the easy course & flash your stock firmware updates via Odin (like many people) rather than spend potentially who knows how much time trying to find out why OTA won't work in spite of you going back to stock
It works for kies and OTA
I downloaded the original 2.3.3 and flashed it to my Samsung Galaxy S2 and the OTA updates worked up to firmware 2.3.5 and then I plugged into kies and it updated to 4.0.3. I used this site http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&t=1&o=1&m=GT-I9100&r=-1#modelsa
Thanks for the help guys.
[Q] Updating rom or firmware/radio from 1.13.651.1 to 3.15.651.13? Rooted & S-OFF
Hi XDA,
I just obtained LazyPanda S-OFF (after being rooted and HTCDev Unlocked/S-ON since I got my phone)
I'm still on my original rom and firmware my phone got shipped with, never took an OTA (thank god)
I have Titanium Backup PRO, and TWRP v2.4.1.0 (the latest version)
(I read that someone had to downgrade TWRP to v2.3.3.0 to install the newest JB rom - took him 3 hours of trying with TWRP v2.4.1.0 until he tried v2.3.3.0 and it worked) - Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2045929&page=62
Has anyone successfully flashed the new JB rom with the latest TWRP?
AND
If I flash the odexed rom (from -viperboy-) will that include the firmware & radio? If not, should I flash the firmware that won't update/include the newest HBoot? (or do I need the new HBoot?) I'm on LazyPanda's 1.12 (v1.12.xxx - the modded version) Or because I'm S-OFF it doesn't matter if HBoot gets updated/overwritten because I'll still retain root & S-OFF?
I just want to know what files to install, and how to install them properly (please include links and good directions) I already watched wwjoshdew's videos on YouTube.
Thanks in advance, zmag
Roms do not include firmware/radios.
The firmware updates are found here READ thru the last 10-20 pages before you flash any firmware...better to be safe then sorry.
When you are ready to flash use the Full Firmware
There is no need to update your hboot.
I have all my firmware updated including the touch panel drivers and I can use twrp 2.4.1.0 but if you update the touch panel drivers you can ONLY use roms based on 3.16. In order to flash a 3.15 JB rom you would have to flash the older touch panel drivers and use an older version of twrp AFAIK
Re: [Q] Updating rom or firmware/radio from 1.13.651.1 to 3.15.651.13? Rooted & S-OF
You can update firmware from my thread by flashing the latest (3.16) firmware.
As far as ROMs go, with TWRP 2.4.1.0 you won't be able to flash 3.16-based ones with an outdated update binary. If you want a 3.16-based ROM, you can flash MeanBean, or my stock rooted.
If you want to flash a 3.15 base ROM, that should be no problem.
Thank you for the heads up guys!
So I'm going to update just the firmware/radio for now: (with this file) PJ75IMG_Jewel_3.16.651.3_firmware_extended.zip - correct? (Sorry just making sure)

Yes, that is correct.
Thank you for guiding me through this captain throwback, I _finally_ did my first firmware update and everything works great.
I'm still on the original rom, until I decide if I want to update to JB (the touchscreen drivers are what's making me nervous to be honest)
All in all, thank you! I'll read through your thread and direct any further questions there if necessary!
So if I want to install MeanBean, and update the Firmare to 3.16, I can flash MeanBean first, then update the Firmware, correct?
I am on the stock firmware, running the stock OS, and have not taken any OTA's. Is there an issue with flashing the most current firmware, or do I have to "step up" by flashing older firmware updates in sequence until I get to the most current?
Thanks

As long as you use the firmware zips from my thread, you can flash the latest firmware with no problems. The order of flashing ROM versus firmware shouldn't matter.
Hi, I have a HTC One from Rogers and I want to install one of the stock original roms from the international version of the HTC One, I found this link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2292640
but I end up having too many files to choose from, asia, tw, europe, even rogers, tmobile, etc, which one do you guys would recomment?
What Im looking is to be able to get the updates directly from HTC once they are released OTA updates instead of always having to download custm roms or relying on them upgrading their version of roms.
Thanks.
what you want isn't possible without SuperCID and installing the actuall RUU for a WWE phone. OTA will fail on a stock rooted rom because of custom recovery etc etc etc...
flash ARHD 10 its stock like and 4.2.2:victory:
Thanks I guess I will go with a custom rom then
any rom that has OTA update so i dont have to flash all the time there is a new version?
ARHD is your best option now. hands down
