Hi guys I've got S3 from Vodafone Ireland, probably that phone is branded. I can't wait until upgrade to JB 4.1.1. When I checking my update there is all the time "no update". I don't want to wait forever. Can I debrand my phone?? Do I need root it first? If yes what rom should I put in? And when I put debrand rom, than can I got any update from OTA ???

This is firmware versions and you could normally expect that the newest (highest number) always is the one to bet your money on ^^
So XWKE7 is the latest firmware upgrade?
How come kies shows I'm up to date with firmware XWKE2?

There is nothing wrong with your new baby...
What you experience now can be compared to the feeling you could have if you suddenly thought there was something wrong with your new chick and everybody else had an upgraded and better one..
Relax and chill down.. Your new girl is just fine ^^
What you could do is to ask yourself if you want to tickle her under the “hood” or wait for the official fix every new girl will get later anyway..
If you would like to be hero or not is up to you…
It’s not like this is climbing Mount Everest or something,,,

Hello, I have a 2 doubts: my samsung galaxy s2 is factory unlocked. My first question is: how to see the current firmware into my phone? - Where I can find the latest firmware (XWKE7 - to update via Odin) ?
The second question is: To overclock my samsung galaxy s2(factory unlocked) is necessary and required to root your phone??.
Thanks, regards
so, shall i take it that these are not official updates ?? If so, i am relaxed. But forgive me for the question but i am only a blond girl ).. : i am reading that there are many updates after my version.. and why i am told on kies that 'this device will not get the update.. and at the same time they say that there ARE new updates.. And one more question : when i get ( if I) my update, will it be to the next version .. or it will be to the last one? because my version is very old ... ( xwdc) Thank you for the answer in advance ))))

The answers to your questions takes about 10 seconds if you use the "search" function, something that I politely recommend to you as a new poster - it will make everything easier for you. Why not start now?

These ARE official updates.
This all depends on your carrier. If you are on O2, for example, you will not yet see KE7 in KIES as it hasn't cleared with O2 yet (probably).
What you can do, and the instructions are in the 'Development' section of the forum, is remove the O2 branding from your phone. Your phone is then just 'generic' i.e. it hasn't been modified by O2. This means you get the updates as soon as Samsung release them!

But you may no longer get them via Kies .

Update path one official via Kies requires the phone provider to update the firmware from Samsung and upload to Kies server . Kies update is to latest version phone provider has uploaded .
Path two are Samsung stock roms that we flash ourselves via Odin .
As this may debrand your phone it may and i repeat may effect the warranty from the seller but not Samsungs warranty .Two the upgrade path via Kies may be closed and updates are now stock roms via Odin .

thank you for the answer. I bought my phone from Amazon . uk. , unlocked.. how could i know who is the phone provider???

Its probably generic then you try Kies for an update .No update on very old firmware i would try Samsung Service centre .

:-(( what if my phone is 'generic'? does it mean that i will never get any update ??.. And i really tried Kies.. but i was told that there is no update for my device... Please tell me what does ' generic' mean?.. sorry to be a nuisance .. but i am new at these ...and want to learn ... Unfortunately there is no samsung service in our country .. Anyway, thank you for your answers ))
I have a rooted ATT Note. I ran Kies to upgrade my firmware to ICS but it reports "Your device firmware cannot be upgraded through Keis". I'd like to try using Odin but I can not find where to get the firmware file. Can anyone point me to it?

This will do the trick. The issue is with the modem file when you rooted...and Kies is not liking it. This will upgrade you to the official AT&T ICS unrooted release;

Used the process in the link above and worked liked a charm...
a couple comments:
The process is the emergency firmware recovery procedure....
No need to take the battery out to get Sn & Model. Just go into your Settings>About Phone>Status>
You will have to re-root your phone

Hi All!
I have a T-Mobile version of Z2. If I flash the unlocked firmware version will I receive OTA updates for this? Or Sony checks my IMEI and give me update acorrdingly? I want to rid all of the T-Mobile bloatwares
Thanks!
Hi,
there are two ways to get rid of this:
1st install any official Rom via Flashtool (so your warranty isn't broken).
2nd way is to root device and just change the customer ID then you get the official Sony Firmare via Sony Update Service.
Via Flashtool you've got the option to flash back the T-Mobile Firmware.

Thanks! So, if I understand correctly if I flash the official unlocked ROM via Flashtool, after that when a new update comes in OTA I will get the T-Mobile version because the phone's customer ID?

If you update with an OTA on an unlocked bootloader you will brick your device for sure so dont do it, just flash stock kernel and relock your bootloader and then you can update with an OTA.
Hope this is enough info.

I'm talking about locked bootloader, but network unlocked. I bought my phone from T-Mobile, but with SIM unlocked and I think I will get the general firmware earlier than T-Mobile version, plus bloatfree.
Flash Generic FTF and all updates you receive via OTA will be for that Generic FTF, no T-Mobile stuff will be installed it if via OTA if you have network free firmware.
Hope that helps you

I had the same problem with Galaxy A50. Got no OTA. I flashed current ROM with ODIN and then magically OTA has started to arrive next months.
So was my case with M30S too. I had to flash August update. Now I am waiting what will happen upon arrival of new ROM
P.S. If you phone is branded, then it is obviously OK if you do not get OTA in time

Will flashing delete all user data? What could be yhe cause of this...
As I see you have last available firmware - ASJ2. What OTA do you expect then ?

If you flash official firmware files using odin it does not wipe your data. And it seems like you already have latest firmware.
