Hi all,
ive tryed to make a firmware update on the tab, but when i do so it says i need to do it via Kies, when i try do it via Kies it crashes.
Only thing ive done with the Tab is rooted it and installed pershoots kernel on it.
Any help would be appriciated.
cheers dalhoff
Sorry but if you rooted it (+ CWM I presume) you can't receive any official updates from Samsung regarding your tab.
Kies is of no use to you now and updating your tab should be done flashing new(er) builds through CWM.
For that I would recommend CM9, however CM didn't officially announce their release yet but there is a KANG out (I think you know). Check the DEV thread.

Yes he can, he only has to flash a stock firmware with Odin and it'll work.
will that not bring him back to stock though without root thus having his flashed kernel reflashed by stock?
The whole point of his rooting I read
But you are right, then you're back in the land of stock roms
isn't it the goal when using kies, to go "stock" or to get the latest "stock" update?
thx for the reply, well i dont wanna go back stock so i guess i have to flash it tru cwm
Then try a custom rom, you won't be disapointed!
I'm running Task 13.1 slim and it's wayyy better than stock!

well, i have an GS2 rooted (android 2.3.4) and sim unlocked with Galaxy S Unlocker.
if i upgrade to ICS when its released, do i loose root?
if I loose root, SuperOneClick will still work if my GS2 is ICS or do i need to wait to an update of SUperOneClick (to supor GS2 with ICS) to root my device again?
well, those are my questions.
thanks in advance.

1) Of course you'll lose root if you go back to stock.
2) Ask whomever developed SuperOneClick if it will work with ICS.

Hi,
I've rooted my S2 with CF-Root 4.1 and I'm using a 2.3.5 SamFirmware ROM.
Can I just update over KIES when ICS comes out? Will the Kernel be replaced and what Files will be erased?

If you have a rooted rom, if I remember well, Kies won't update your firmware... You have to use ODIN...
ok so just to make this 100% clear (i am a complete noob and i always make stupid questions, so flaming is accepted )
I have a Galaxy S2 with just rooted firmware (XWKJ1). I used an insecure version of this firmware to root the phone following the Odin/CF Root guide. Also I am not using any custom made rom like CM for example... If I upgrade my phone through Kies when the ICS update rolls out will I be able to complete the process succesfully?
Also from what I understand if the update procedure is completed succesfully I will lose root and will have to do the whole process all over again... Is there an insecure firmware matching the ICS firmware that will replace my old one?
Thanks in advance for your help...

Unless the ICS firmware you upgrade to is already rooted, then yes. You will lose root.
Just try Resurrectio Remix v9.6 by westcrip. Its the best ics rom right now.

It was never guaranteed to be released worldwide on a single day anyways. Can you imagine the millions of I9100 users all trying to download the official ICS update via Kies at the same time? Their servers would have an aneurysm.
It would surely have been reposted for download though. Also, it was posted in various languages including English speaking Samsung sites.
I know that it is what it is and there's little point now, but I haven't had my ***** about it yet, except to my wife who is fairly confused about why this is such a disappointment for me.
Now I've had my little ***** attack about it not happening and will maintain it to this.
I dont understand why its such a big deal to get the update. Why not just flash a custom rom?

I've been squeamish after many GB ones had serious issues, for example we'd forgotten our camera when my second kid was born by cesarian and I had a sleep of death on the phone - was doing a Nandroid restore of stock 10 minutes prior to entering the operating room. It saved the day.
That said, I flashed a custom ROM right after that last post and it's been really impressive. I haven't yet found an issue with it. Everything seems to be working really well and the battery life might even be a little better than the GB ROM I was using though it's still to early to say.
I get annoyed with all the banners and the immediate back patting when there's a new RoM that hasn't even been tested, but just to answer the question some people might be asking about which one I was impressed with, it was Resurection Remix. It also happens, thogh, to be the first one I flashed that was a Samsung based ROM opposed to AOSP.
It is still annoying though. I suspect Samsung is merely manufacturing their own hype about this, intentionally, and that is irritating.
Will AT&T GNotes running stock I717UCLA1 rooted by RoloRacer's method (no tripping of flash counter) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1518962 get the official AT&T OTA ICS update when available? Or will these phones need to be unrooted to get the update?
Thank you.
generally, rooted phones do NOT get OTA updates, but since this hasn't been released yet, no one can answer your question.
let us know if you get it when the ota gets released, ok?

Certainly!
I keep checking for an update daily, hoping that it will be available sometime this month. But, if it isn't here by the end of the month, I think that I will flash one of the custom ICS ROMs that are available.
If I decide to install a custom ICS ROM, will I need to first, unroot the device and then flash this new ROM? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1664980

No. You will need to be rooted to get into CWM and load a ROM...if You dont have CWM installed, install it via Odin. Be aware though that this will trip the flash counter, but there are ways to remove that notification
na, just root your phone, and start flashing custom roms..
the dev's here will incorporate any changes/improvements from the official release into their base roms once it ACTUALLY comes out
there won't be anything unique in the "official" release that the dev's here won't be able to use, if its an improvement over what they are doing now..
I already have the phone rooted using the mashi root method listed here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1518962 Being a NOOB in the Android world, I'm not sure what needs to be done next to be able to intall the ICS ROM.
Since my Note is already rooted, can I install the ClockworkMod Recovery listed here, first: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=23170524 and then install this ICS ROM? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1664980

I installed ClockworkMod Touch Recovery last night with success! Now I plan on flashing ICS later today. I'm going to try this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1664980

You don't need root for cwm. At all.
Download mode and recovery are underneath the os, only need root while inside Android itself

Hi every one.
Got my s3 when it launched & rooted it with odin using the unlocked kernel? Can't remember exactly ?
My phone keeps telling me there is a software update, but it fails when I try install.
Looking for some advice on what I should do to update it. But obviously I don't want to lose root access.
Also jelly bean is due soon & I'm just wondering whether to wait till then?
Im currently using a stock Rom I think?
I really like the way I have it set up at the min & I'd like to keep it as close to how it is now on jelly?
Can you make a custom Rom from my phone & put it to jelly when it's released.
Any help or advice would be great.
Cos I'm totally lost to be honest?
there was a member who had a problem like this.
1-)people suggested him to flash a stock rom update it and root it again. ( of course do a nandroid backup or titanium backup )
then there will be no problems.
2-) you can choose to flash any available rom for your s3. directly put it in your internal sd and flash with cwm.
you can search that in forum.
P.S: Roms are for use of everybody, you can select what you want to install ( you dont need to search a Rom made for your phone )
OTA's don't work of you are rooted and running a custom recovery.
Flash the latest stock ROM via Odin and root it, but you won't get official OTA's when you are rooted.

So flash back stock kernel through odin , update it & then re-root?
Can jb be rooted yet?
I might wait till jb is released officially, it's due in a few days isn't it?
Thanks for the reply guys but I'm still a bit unsure what I'm doing tbh .
I always take my time doing stuff like this cos I don't want to brick my phone?
Hi,
I have my GS3 rooted, and its currently running a Custom ROM (FoxHound 0.7). What I want to do is move away from this and head back to the official Samsung stock ROM for extra stability.
I wasn't sure on:
a) Where to get the latest Jelly Bean releases for the UK i9300
b) How to go about flashing an official Stock ROM... Is it the same as flashing a Custom ROM, like through CWM??
c) Whether I will still be able to update OTA when new official update releases come out from Samsung?
Sorry for the questions but I've searched through a few threads and I can't seem to gather a definitive answer.
TIA

Can i know why did u root your GS3 in the first place if you planning to run stock rom.
Maybe try some custom roms which might gives you more benefit than stock rom.
Anyhow, if you still want to install stock rom, try finding it here: http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/
Thanks. I'm downloading that now.
I rooted to try out different custom ROMS and also so that I could do things like hook up my PS3 control pad via Bluetooth but I've found the Custom ROMS I've tried (Foxhound, CM10, Omega, Paranoid Android, Resurrection Remix) all to be a bit flakey in different areas
This is the reason I want to go back to a Samsung Stock ROM, at least then I'll be on a completely stable platform and can still customise with a different launcher.
So do I flash this Samsung firmware in the normal way I would flash a Custom ROM?? Through ClockWorkMod recovery?? And will the official OTA updates still be available?

I found the easiest method to flash a stock ROM is MobildOdin till now as you directly can inject root (super user) and do not have to root later on again. Otherwise download your rom, and flash via Odin, after that flash again CF Root to get root.

U cant flash the firmware but u need to install it.
After that,you can receive ota updates as usual...
OK thanks guys. I'm not too fussed about Root again right away, so I presume I'm heading into ODIN to flash the official Samsung Firmware then?
I've downloaded the latest JB Leak for the International variant (i9300), however I've just been reading that you can flash/install the OFFICIAL POLAND JB FIRMWARE to the phone and just change the language settings? Don't suppose you know how true this is do you?

Don't get the leak, get the officially released version DLIB. The languages are built in and you can CSC change if you so wish.
Can I ask what CSC Change is?!
Also, presumably I'm just installing through ODIN?

yes, as said beforehand, CSC includes region specific settings whereas you can run the rom also without CSC (did this with CSC unknown for quite some time, to not get CSC unknown just flash the rom twice, to change the CSC you can use an app from the market designed to change CSCs easily).
Kernel/Radio is not included in the CSC, here you can flash, if you wish, any kernel suitable to your region of that gives you best reception.
Thanks all, looks like I'm up and running again with Stock.
Only thing in my SETTINGS then ABOUT PHONE then STATUS, my device status just says 'scanning'

Trying to update via Kies. Update notification but computer doesn't seem to want to download firmware.
Beacuse its rooted
Try flashing stockrecovery first..
Thought might have been cos of that but was previously rooted and still manage to update to ICS.
Just download 4.1.2, it is being rolled out now, we have Polish, German and UK at least now.
And no it will not drop automatically if you have custom firmware, you will need to flash via Odin.
From what i read the premium suite is just a fancy name for all the features the lastest 4.1.2 official roms already have. No point in waiting for the "official" kies update. If you're rooted, just pick up mobile odin, flash the latest and be done with in less than 5 minutes. It most likely won't even delete anything from your phone, mine never did
