Hi,
I just read that Samsung is releasing a bunch of official ICS roms (http://www.samsung.com/us/support/SupportOwnersFAQPopup.do?faq_id=FAQ00046726&fm_seq=49755#) and I´m wondering if any of these could be installed on a I9100XXK14 (3.0.15-i9100XXLPB-CL99600 - Illusion-ICS v1.0.1) and how do I get a hold of them.
thanks in advance
If u have KIES installed on your computer u should be able to see if your phone can be updated to ICS.
I have no idea if samsung has finished it's worldwide release of ICS ifso an update will be there for u.
I have a custom ROM. I don´t think I can update via KIES since it doesn´t recognize the custom ROMS. Is there anyway I can do this without going back to the official Gingerbread rom?
Via Checkfus
Via the Stock rom or branded roms posts .
Via the ICS roms posted in general .
Via sammmobile.com
Via Google search engine .
All the usual methods .

Thanks for reading - I'm a noob.
I came here to learn about rooting devices over 6 months ago and decided to have a go at rooting my SGS 2 to remove the bloatware and speed it up a bit.
Performance has been great - I left the stock firmware because the OS/ROM was not a concern to me. I simply flashed the kernel with CF Root: CF-Root-SGS2_ZS_OZS_KF4-v4.0-CWM4.tar
Now I am led to understand I would need to flash back to my stock kernel to allow the OTA update for ICS - the only issue is I cannot find any available downloads for I9100TDVKF4 - Telstra's stock kernel.
Now I read somewhere a reply to a similar question was "just flash it with a new rom, I dont know why you want to go to stock" - Well I want to update to the official ICS. I was under the impression that would be available a long time ago and never was. I just want to....
Please can anyone help me to point out where I can find that kernel? perhaps there is a different kernel i could use?!
Is there any ICS firmware I would be able to download and flash to the ROM using Odin whilst keeping my phone rooted?
I found this place really helpful in how to root and now I just hope someone can help me get onto ICS!
Cheers
Is there any ICS firmware I would be able to download and flash to the ROM using Odin whilst keeping my phone rooted?
No only custom rooted firmware .
Try Checkfus for your stock firmware download and flash via Odin .
Dont confuse yourself with kernels without understanding .
ICS on Checkfus or Kies for your phone install otherwise wait until your provider releases .
or flash your original saved firmware that will overwrite root .

Thanks for taking the time to reply mate....
Dont confuse yourself with kernels without understanding - dont worry ive been trying not to but it seems thats the only thing i changed on my phone when i rooted it so i was lead to believe i needed to change that back...
My provider has just released new version of ICS but i cant actually install it once ive downloaded it over the air it only gets to 8% then reboots itself and i believe thats because the phone is rooted...
or flash your original saved firmware that will overwrite root - I dont know if i backed it up correctly on the guide i was using!!! The only thing i backed up was the apps using titanium backup so now i feel im stuck!
Use check fus down loader and get the official ics ROM.
It's under i9100t Australia/telestra
Problem solved.
Hi, there are rumors that samsung will publish the 4.1 Jelly Bean soon, can i upgrade directly to 4.1 since i'm using checkrom 3.5 ? if not, will there any possible ways to do it ? Thank you
you will not get any OTA or KEIS update being on a custom ROM, either you have to flash stock rom from ODIN to get update or direct flash the update (latest FW) from ODIN when it is released. Or you can flash custom ROM of JB form the current Rom

after update from ODIN, can i still have the update when i change back to a custom ROM ?
please read the stickies & FAQ for more information about Custom Roms & all
normally Custom Roms are made from the latest official release...and the cusotom ROMs developers release the updated versions of their ROMs integrating the latest updates from Samsung. you can flash those on your previous versions.

Hi, and apologies as this is probably the 10,000th post on JB updates. I have searched etc, but just wanted a sanity check to see if I have this right.
As the title says, I have a UK GT-I9300 (BTU) that was rooted in my eagerness when I dumped ios (so used to Jailbreaking, I didnt even think about it). I'll admit I didnt think things through at the time (or read up enough!)
So, I rooted the phone using Odin and CF-Root-SGS3-v6.0, and now JB is upon us. I now know that I can't just use Kies or OTA (unless Ive got it wrong), so I just need to use Odin to flash a download (from one of the various Firmware sites) of the JB update for my particular version ?
If I want it to appear as unmodified, I need to use Triangle Away ?
Have I got this correct, or am I missing a piece of the jigsaw, or do I need a pre-rooted JB ?
Cheers for any help, as I'd rather not stuff this up
If I need to flash the stock rom via odin first, I'll have to find it, as all the links I found are dead now :fingers-crossed:
It has been long time since google released jelly bean. I do not know what is wrong. I am from Bangladesh but still I have no FOTA(firmware over the air) or even samsung kies says it is the latest version. There should be jelly bean to every S3 according to me, by now. I tried changing CSC and I had only one option without the default one. The problem persists. Any solution would be a great help. I do not want a custom rom.
You can ask Samsung you can go to a service centre or a Samsung forum .
You can wait for your update just like others , Though has you have been messing with CSC and might have f4444 up your download path .
Or you can flash a stock rom or any none custom rom via CHECKFUS ..
BASICS

If you have ICS installed now I suggest you to stay with it. Many people who get jelly bean also get a battery drain problem and laggy interface.
Personally, I regret that I have installed Jelly Bean (in Lithuania). Only way to get back to ICS is to root device and flash official ICS rom, and lose your warranty. :crying:

Hi I have the latest omega rom on my phone but when I try to software update on my phone it says that latest updates are installed even though I know theres a new updates.
If I try to update via kies it says my phone is not compatible to update (or something along those lines)
Can anyone tell me how to get the latest update thanks
You need to stick with stock ROMs if you want OTA updates and via kies, you should also understand all the drawbacks, risks and benefits of customs ROMs before you flash them.
Omega, like all other custom ROMs will break OTA firmware updates and kies. Go to the Omega thread, download the latest version and follow the chef's instuctions to flash it.
