can someone help - Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

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.

After ROM update?

If I apply Axura ROM now, when the T-Mobile official Android 2.2 is released, will I be able to update my phone with the official ROM from T-Mobile?
when the official ROM drops, somebody here will almost certainly find an ODIN flashable version of it, which is quite honestly, the best way to apply any rom update.
Or there will be a flashable version for clockwork.
Or you could Odin/CW back to stock JI6 & get the OTA yourself.
Many ways to get the new hotness.

Trying to unroot...but won't update.

Hi all, I successfully unrooted using this guide here:http://galaxytabhacks.com/galaxy-tab-10-1-hacks/how-to-unroot-your-galaxy-tab-10-1/
But my problem is that his "stock" file that I flashed is an I/O Stock rom, so it won't receive any official updates after the first 11mb update. (won't update to 3.2 Touchwiz)
I would like to give this tablet to a family member and I want them t receive official updates (Like ICS) in the future, so I basically need to get my Tablet back to the point where it can receive official updates.
I did a little more digging trying to find a stock rom and found this rom "hc-3.1_ota-full_sam_tab_10.1.zip(StockROM)", from this link --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1171089 but it appears to be the same file for I/O as before.
I then found this link here, to a European Stock Touchwiz update rom, "http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1167250" But I'm afraid since its european, it is still not my original stock rom I had for my Tablet I bought in the USA.
Can anyone help?
i have the same problem... but i'm from Malaysia..
although from one of the guide, it says Asian Stock TW, after odin, my device doesnt seem to be recognised by KIES for any official update... also notice that the build number is different from actual Asian version (compared this with my friend's tab)
btw, from samfirmware, the zip file contain 3 files (data, csc and bootloader)..
i only flash the data and csc(as suggested in the guide)... do i need to flash the bootloader too? could that be the reason why i cant get KIES update?
btw, if your from the US, hav u tried the guide from "filesfordummies"?
i think thats the stock US version of the tab...
Do you have a nandroid backup? if you have restore that backup and you have an actually.
Sorry but my english is very bad

Official ICS for I9100XXK14?

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 the Stock rom or branded roms posts .
Via the ICS roms posted in general .

[Q] Jelly Bean updating

Hi,
So i've heard rumors that Samsung, soon, is gonna release an official JB update. And i would like to have it.
I, atm, have a rooted GSG2 GT-i9100 with AllianceROM ICS and Siyah Kernel 5.0.1.
So, do i have to unroot my phone back to stock, if i want to upgrade my phone to official (stock) JB?
I want to try out stock JB before trying other JB ROMs, just to see what improvements there are etc etc.
And i on SamMobile Firmware, i should use the Stock ROM for my country, right?
And also, if i flash the ROM from SamMobile, will it totally unroot my phone? Cause i still have an "not-stock" Kernel, and it isn't specified wether the Kernel also becomes stock or not.
Thank you for the time and extra thanx for replies
Regards.
It seems likely that the JB update for SGS2 variants will include some additional repartitioning of the device memory.
Unless you are really confident you know what you're doing, it might be safer flashing back to unrooted stock 4.0.4 and using Kies to do the JB upgrade 'properly'.
Then, once you have the official JB firmware and a safely repartitioned memory system you can go about rooting and restoring your app backups (but be careful with your system file backups, most of which it would be unwise to restore on a new firmware).
All this is theoretical since there is no official JB firmware out there yet.
Oh, I'm on jb leak. Won't be able to update.
hummmm.............................Got it, I'll flash.

[Q] Update via KIES + MODs

Hello,
I've installed some MODs in my LL9 BTU ROM. Now, i want to update to the lateste LLA firmware via KIES. Is it possible? Would KIES revert to 'stock' without any problem, if it allows me to upgrade?
What's the best way to upgrade?
Thanks a lot.
Kies will only update it to latest firmware if its available in your country.
For me (and many others), the best way of upgrading is to download the rom with latest firmware from here
It will not cause any big harm.
The update is available for me. The question is: can i update with MODs installed or do i need to do something to "revert" it? Will KIES automatically revert, just like it does with Root?
All your mods will be removed during update and dont even try to restore mods from backup (becuase of firmware changes).
You can though, restore apps and contacts etc. but not mods.
Sorry but you will have to mod it all over again if you update (whether by kies or by roms on this forum).
Ah, no problem! All i wanted to know is if it was possible to upgrade with the MODs installed. I'll try to update via KIES now and then reflash the MODs. Thank you! >
