Hey guys, I just did an OTA sw update (spanish official 4.1.2 rom, rooted & no other modifications).
Since it didn't contain any useful info other than it's a software upgrade, I'm confused about it. What did they upgrade for me? Was it rom related? I haven't noticed anything different about it so far.
Any info about it is welcome.

That 22 mb update will get you to LSD.
Thanks for the info!
Btw, just found out that the OTA has in fact failed, so I tried doing the upgrade via Kies. It went well, except for the fact the root has been removed by the update and I had to re-root. Also, the CWM I flashed a few days ago was gone too (but I used stock rom to root).
The changes I have seen with this update is only that my kernel now has a new build date (31. jan 2013).
can you post a review or comparison with your old rom (I assume it was LS8),

Well, I can't really post anything useful, since I was looking for "the perfect rom" from the moment 4.1.2 official appeared. Before that, I was on 4.0.4 official. The only real thing I've noticed (between this and all other roms I've tried out) is that I have a bit high battery drains if I keep WiFi turned on while at my office. I've figured it's something about the router itself (never use Apple made routers!), so I "fixed" it by not using WiFi at work.
Sorry for not being more informative, haven't really done any elaborate testing apart from noticing obvious things like battery drains. The only thing I can say for sure is - 4.1.2 >>> 4.0.4 and 4.1.2 official >>> custom roms for me.

Hey guys! i got a question about the stock firmware update... i was all rooted and rom'd (fairly advancd user) but i was having problems so i decided id odin back to stock for a while to see if it helped the problem (3g data dropping). so i was on bone stok dl09 and did the normal ota updates that brought me to version 2.2.2... and last time i was on stock (about a month ago) that was the latest update. but then my phone started downloading a new firmware update... and it seems like a really big one (so far taken about 20 minutes...could be my connection but im not s sure). so what i want to ask is if this update has gotten to anyone else's phones and if so, what is it?!
thanks in advance

Hi everybody,
I'm new to the forum and would appreciate any help anyone could possibly offer me. I recently bought my Galaxy 10.1 and have been using it fairly contently for the past number of weeks. However I was recently looking to install Allshare and found that it was only available on version 3.2. So I entered 'Settings ->About tablet -> Software update -> Update. While trying to find updates I get the message 'Connection failed'. There is no problem with my internet connection as I am constantly online carrying out all other regular operations. When I connect using KIES, it doesn't propose any update to me.
I am living in Luxembourg and am wondering if that could be a problem considering the region of my device is 'XX', which does not include Luxembourg. But I would have expected another message, such as 'No update available'.
Any ideas anyone? Whatever I do, nothing seems to help. I'm open do any other options for updating my tab.
Thanks in advance,
Damien (Luxembourg)

get a custom rom ASAP
Yes it seems you have a bad case of "wait for the manufacturer" problem. There is only one cure: get a custom rom. The trouble with the Tab 10.1, though is that there aren't any custom roms based on Honeycomb (3.x) (to my knowledge anyway) since the source was never released by Google. So your only hope is to jump straight up to a version of ICS (4.0), which are pretty early releases right now.
Having said that I have done it and pretty much everything works fine for me. Look in the Android development for KANG (make sure you get the right one, they are different for either the wifi or 3G one).
Other than that, have a howl at Samsung I guess.

Incorrect info. There are many custom roms based on HoneyComb 3.2 in the development [email protected] If you aren't sure when giving advice, don't give advice?
Roms based on official 3.2 Honeycomb. I just picked some of the most recent releases, there are quite a few more.

Ooops, my bad. Sorry. I just read somewhere that Google never released the source to Honeycomb so I assumed that there was not going to be an AOSP. Yes I should have checked before opening my mouth on that.

And what if you download Samsung Kies on your PC and connect and update through it?
Samsung Kies is the official application by ... Samsung yeah (..) but it's not the world's most reliable application. Sometimes you might even have to install this more than once for it to recognize your Samsung device and update through it.
Maybe you already tried this, just ignore my comment then
I had something similar although my GT saw the update. After downloading it refused to install (update from approximately 13 MB). After reboot it ran the update to 13%, then rebooted and stated that it could not update. Same story when I tried to update through Kies. Trying to solve this one I flashed P7510XWKI2_P7510OXEKI1_SER through Odin on the tab and tried to update again. This time the update file was approximately 88 MB and got stuck after 9% and rebooted also telling me that it could not update. When trying to update through Kies it finally successfully updated. Maybe a bit much work (and tricky ) but it works.

Thanks for saying that. I appreciate it. It has renewed my desire to keep interacting on the forums (and learning more about what I am talking about).

>>I'm just curious if anybody else has received notification of a new update from AT&T recently, and if so, what was it?
I've had my E970 for about a month now. When I first received the LGOG, I did receive a FOTA notification and did the update. Then
I rooted, unlocked BL and installed TheBase.
Last night, I received another notification regarding an OTA software update being ready to install. Since I was actually ok with the stock LG ROM, I made a backup and then went ahead and let the update install.
Most of you won't be surprised to hear that the device rebooted into recovery, I received an error message, and the update failed.
Luckily, I didn't brick anything. I like all the information we get before allowing an app to install, and I can't believe there is no info given about what an update to our OS might contain. A version number [4.0.4 or 4.1.2?] and a short description saying bugfix / security fix / new features would go a long way here.
Personally, I kinda like the LG touches to Android and am looking forward to the official JB update.
I plan on sticking with stock-based ROMS on this device until it's no longer supported and then going back to CM.
I'm running Android 4.0.4
Baseband: APQ8064 / MDM9x15M
Kernel: 3.0.21
The Base 0.6.5
E97010l
I just checked for an update and...
now it says it is up to date?
I wish I had more information, and I DID search the forums and elsewhere to try and answer this myself first.
Now I'm thinking that AT&T is just trying to update me to their latest software and away from a custom ROM.
Incidentally, the OG is the first Android that I've actually done a FOTA on. I received the Atrix 4G and the X10a long after their release, and went immediately to custom ROMs.
It's just updates to E97010c. Nothing worth updating for.

Hello there
I checked "Software Update" but I did not find anything, but that's expected because my network provider is pretty slow in providing updates, especially for Android devices. I checked the SamMobile website which provides the latest updates but I couldn't find anything beyond 4.1.2, however I am certain that I saw people on this forum that own the I9300 and have 4.2+ (and my friend has it on his Google phone, whatever its model is I don't remember). Is there a way to get it? Would I have to root or is there an RUU available? I am not sure if "RUU" is the correct word, but it was when I had the HTC One X.
Thanks guys!
There is only the unofficial leak of 4.2.1 from samsung. Latest official is 4.1.2
Obviously we have aosp 4.2.2 but this is not samsung based

How do you go about installing an unofficial leak and are there any disadvantages/dangers when doing so? Would I have to root and use Clockworkmod or can I just directly install it from Odin, for instance? And one last thing, is it going to update the baseband (or w.e it is called)? I wouldn't want that so I can revert to 4.1.2 at any time!
I'm not sure if there is an odin version tbh. I thought the leak was pretty good (rooted) but many found it buggy. It was very incomplete.
I reckon we may skip 4.2.1 anyway and go to 4.2.2 as with the s4. It can't be far off.
Sent from my GT-I9300 using Tapatalk 2
Thanks a lot for your replies, mate. I guess the best thing to do is wait for 4.2 then. I wouldn't want to install a buggy firmware, I mean 4.1.2 itself isn't that stable anyway. I remember when the S3 first came out with v4.0.4, the S2 got it shortly after, so I am hoping the same scenario takes places asap.
Thanks again and cheers!
Hello, I am receiving an official update on my S3 device by ota, It says the amount of 419.04MB. I suppose it is Android 4.3.
But this update is recomended? Does it have any problem, or lag, or Samsung fixed it on the update?
Please tell me if it is correct to update my mobile or not.
Regards and thanks to all of you.
For me it lagged extreme!
Device: Samsung Galaxy S3
ROM: CyanogenMod 11 (Temasek Unofficial V36 )
Kernel: Boeffla-Kernel-CM11-2.1-Beta9-
Version UGML4 is fine, a slight lag on waking from deep sleep but battery life is excellent.

Update your phone via a "SMART TERMINAL" or KIES.
I updated via OTA when I got home. The update went smooth... but the phone got awful slow/laggy/terrible.
A few days passed and I found a Samsung shop. Went in and saw an "update terminal."
After it finished, the phone was buttery smooth again.
Please note, that encryption will be MUCH SLOWER. So you cannot use it encrypted anymore. At least not like you used it. It will lag, it will stutter, all the crap you can imagine. Lucky I have insurance and I use a powerful password. So even if I get robbed I can reset the phone from home and get a new phone for cheap.
But yeah, I do miss the encryption feature, I felt safer that way. But it just got way too slow.
I even took the phone back to Samsung as in warranty repair, but they told me the policy says they can't downgrade so they just pushed up the 4.3 rom all over again. Meh.
