how do you try to upgrade? what is your current rom? are you rooted?
if you are on the latest UK stock rom (you can check on sammobile.com) there is no newer version out!

[Q] Upgrading rooted 2.2.2 to rooted 2.3.4 ?

I have a Galaxy S2 with XWKE7 (2.3.3) rooted on it.
How can I upgrade to 2.3.4 and root again ?
In this thread the kernels KH1 and KH4 are tested.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1103399
As I cannot update via the official way "Phone -> Software update" shows 'No update available' and I cannot get KIES connected to my Galaxy.
Can I just flash KH4 rooted over the KE7 rooted with Odin without changing baseband and firmware (so it will not be wiped) ?

Flash full KH4 firmware root with KH4
Or if you want flash KH4 root over KE7 for an upgraded kernel on old firmware KE7 and that does not make sense .

First, sorry for my duplicate post (I presumably pressed OK twice ?).

Yes I have it (included in that kernel).
@JJEgan: So you mean I can do this simple step: just flashing the rooted KH4 kernel and that's it ? And leave original baseband (XXKE4) and firmware as is ?

Yes but why only update the kernel you have new kernel old firmware and old modem . But you can do it if you want but it wont be 2.3.4 firmware .

The only reason is to use USB host for the SLD controller software by Chainfire and to run Drive Mount.
Installing firmware does require a complete backup and reinitiializing of the Galaxy which is a real hassl. Or not ?

Trying to flash OTA jelly bean but getting errors

Hi all,
I have a rooted (through Odin desktop version) Galaxy S3 I9300 with the following:
AP: I9300XXBLH1
CP: I9300CELH1
CSC: I9300PHNBLH1
I have been trying to flash the Jellybean OTA firmware that was posted yesterday on:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1867672
However when I try to flash with CWM it breaks off.
When I try this with Odin Mobile Pro I get:
"The kernel image on your device does not match the signature check in OTA ZIP. Disable the check (may prevent the device from booting)?"
I guess I have to update the kernel image somehow in order to install this OTA as was also mentioned in the thread with the Jellybean firmware:
http://samsung-updates.com/fw/Samsung-Updates.com-GT-I9300_BTU_1_20120806161432_al03it6wa2.zip
However it's impossible to download this file, have tried with 4 different browsers on 2 desktops and 2 browsers on my phone but no luck (I get dummy zip file, referred back to the same page or html file download).
Any tips on how to update the base/kernel rom so I can safely install the Jellybean OTA?
Thanks,
Vincent

Hi,
I just tried to flash XXBLG8 with CWM (source: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1799267) but when doing *#1234# I get exactly the same versions as before:

Any ideas what I'm doing wrong?

Correct, but I tried to install the full rom directly and it failed (see my first post of the thread), so I figured I had to upgrade the kernel and modem first..
I have the feeling I am missing an obvious step here, :silly:

Two choices one wait for your official update time frame unknown ask your phone vendor when .
Or join XDA and flash stock roms on release day but no KIES or OTA updates .

if u cant upgrade thor 'Kies' then the only other option left for u, is flashing the latest Firmware thro 'ODIN'. which in turn will unroot ur phone for sure
but u can always re-root ur phone, with various option available though
i download the mobile odin pro to my phone, but i don't know what supposed to do with him

BVLPD is ur current firmware, while BVLPB is ur Baseband/Modem/Radio. so u can upgrade to the latest build one thats BVLPH
From the moment you root a device ..or even worse ....root & install a custom rom & kernel ...Samsung doesnt even know the device exists anymore ...so of course Kies won't work ...that's what the Yellow Warning at boot up ..is all about
Its basically alerting you .....your warranty is now void ...no more support from Samsung ....your actions can change system files ...in return damage the OS so bad that it can never recover ....only sending the device back to Samsung or other official service center may fix it ...but no guarantee ....etc .....& you need to unroot... before you can do that ....
but if the device crashes & won't recover because the OS has been damaged ...then you will never be able to unroot ...
Root is the ability to alter the OS ....SuperUser Access "Administrator "
No Root ....basically Samsung is the SU or Admin

u can use 'Siyah Kernel' to root back ur phone, or any other rooting method which u can search for
thabks for information, i hope don.t break the phone again)
orry this might be abit late ....but goto TSAR3000.com ....there they have every official firmware & software you could imagine for Samsung ....
its really cool that they even have all the schematics for hardware replacement ..hardware upgrades ...ect ....for most Samsung devices

1st you must update your firmware: try OTA-update or, if it fails, download your newest firmware from sammobile.com and flash it with Odin. Control, whether IMEI is correct and you can make calls.
2nd root with CF-autoroot. Install TWRP-recovery.
3rd install any custom ROM.
