I just purchased an I717d galaxy note that had an aws modem installed. I am now receiving an ICS OTA update notice. My question is can I install this OTA update, would the modem be compatible with ICS or will it disable my aws modem.
Model: I717d
Andriod Version: 2.3.6
Baseband Version: T989UVKL1
Kernal Version: 2.6.35.11
Build Number: Gingerbread.207
With the recent number of OTA flash issues weve seen, I would suggest "not" updating via OTA, rather, you may want to investigate another upgrade option.
I'm thinking that you will lose the current modem if using the OTA...
You could root, and flash the rom only, without dropping the modem.....g
Thanks, I think I'll go to a local shop for a small price they'll upgrade while I'm there to a custom rom with aws. That way I can watch how its done in case I want to do it on my own in the future.
Excellent idea ...
Doing your homework in advance makes "all " the difference later ....g

I just finished running the Odin flash of Chainfire CF-Root-SGS2_XX_OXA_KG6-v4.1-CWM4.zip, thinking that I will upgrade my firmware to 2.3.4. However after I do the setting checking:
setting > About Phone > Android Version > ???
it still showing 2.3.3??? Is that actually work like that, that when rooting, the firmware is upgraded but it will not show in the setting info?
My CWM clearly already changed to CF-Root 4.1 after I open and check it in CWM Manager.
TIA
custom roms make the upgrades on the android version (if included in their package), not the kernels.
Thanks for the info, really helpful

This my phone info:
PDA:KE7 / PHONE:KE4 / CSC:KD1 (XEU)
is it ok if flash and upgrade to:
XXKG6
Android 2.3.4
PDA:XXKG6| PHONE: XXKG6| CSC:XEUKD1
TIA
Yes, it will upgrade your phone to 2.3.4.
I plan to root my SGS2 but have not yet done so. I got the unlocked international edition from Amazon, and it arrived running Android 2.3.3.
Last night I created a Samsung account for myself so that I could upgrade. Then I did upgrade to 2.3.4.
Question: The Wikipedia entry on Android states that the current version of Android for phones is 2.3.6, released on September 2nd.
But when I tried to upgrade again (after having upgraded to 2.3.4) I got a message saying that no further upgrades are available.
I don't have to be on the bleeding edge but would like to at least upgrade to Android 2.3.5 (if there is a 2.3.5).
Why can't I do that (or can I do it)?
(This may in any case be irrelevant when I root -- my understanding of rooting is that to do so replaces the stock firmware, which is the whole point of rooting.)
Perhaps 2.3.5 simply isn't available yet for the SGS2, but that seems odd.

the upgrade version not available to all location all at once. Some still got 2.3.3 firmware upgrade with just patch. Check out sam firmware to know later update of your firmware based on your phone PDA etc.

can someone maybe explain to me, what the whole reason of upgrading to 2.3.4+ is?
because I just did so. I upgraded from my 2.3.3 firmware to the latest XWKI4, from the list of the official firmwares. I hoped that by doing so, I would get the latest and greatest GTalk with video and calling options (v1.3).
But for some reason I have exactly this version, but I can not use this feature. Although the version information under applications reads, that I have 1.3 installed...

How can I download the latest stock firmware if I buy the AT&T unlocked version and use it in another country? also would I be able to use a custom firmware on it?
You probably can't use any of the custom firmware currently out for International version, the CPU/RAM configuration is different. But you could probably still update the stock firmware using Kies.
Thanks, yea I guess I will be waiting for other developers to tinker with the AT&T firmware and I have to learn how to apply it as I have never used Android before
Hey guys, live in the Bahamas and have a international s3 baseband i9300ubdli2, was wondering with all the updates to 4.1.2 which version do i really have since the new update in not available to my phone as yet. can someone clear this up for me. all help is appreciated. Thanks
It doesn't matter as long as it's an i9300 rom
If you really want, just reflash the current modem you are using after the update.
My only suggestion would be to make sure you don't use a firmware from another carrier. Otherwise you're likely to get bloatware out the wazoo.
Okay I'm wanting to unroot my S3 since I never actually use any root features and I'd much prefer to receive OTA updates when they're finally pushed than have to Odin flash the latest version each time it's released. My problem is I can't for the life of me figure out what the latest firmware is. My phone is on 4.1.2 XXELLA which I thought was the latest since my cousins unrooted phone is also on that but now I've read that XXELLB and XXELLC are later versions. Can someone just tell me what the latest version is?

Thanks for that. Just plugged it into Kies and it shows the same software version as being available. It's willing to upgrade my phone despite it being modified. Is this recommended or should I avoid doing it?
Its fine to do it.
I have a T-Mobile S5 that I got for a really great price that is unlocked and currently running on the ATT network. I cant update it from either carrier and I would like to know how to update it to the latest lollipop update available. I have been looking for awhile and cannot find any definitive answer to which firmware I should use. Android 4.4.2 baseband version G900TUVU1ANCH

Hello, and thank you for using XDA Assist!
If Knox got tripped, that would prevent you from getting OTA. Not sure if being on a different carrier would do it for that phone as well.
At any rate, I am connecting this thread to the forum your device experts can be found:

Hope this helps, and good luck!
If you are rooted and want to keep root, update via Muniz_Ri's rooted stock ROM. I would however, advise you to wait a little while. The current Rooted stock rom is based on firmware version OG6, Android version 5.1.1, and it's pretty buggy.
Soon Muniz_ri will update his rooted stock ROM to the latest firmware, OJ4, which is much more stable.
If you don't care about rooting, just download the OJ4 firmware and install using ODIN.
