Hey everyone, first time posting here. I'm having some troubles with updating my s4 to the newest update. I'm currently rooted and have TWRP for custom recovery. When I go to update to the newest software, it just fails and puts me into twrp. Do I have to go back to stock using Odin? How do I go about this so I can update and reroot. Noob to Sammy's, was team moto before
Think many times before proceeding. The update will make it impossible to use custom recoveries or ROMs. You may be better served to install Darkslider ROM instead.
That warning and advice aside, if you REALLY want to install the OTA you'll need to ODIN back to stock and proceed from there. But please read the warning above 3 more times and do your research first.

Hi everybody,
I'm new at this forum and in the Android world and I have a few questions about the install process of the ICS CM9 on Galaxy tab 10.1 GT-P7500 3G.
1. If I want to backup my current ROM, do I have to be rooted to use ROM Manager to backup the ROM? And do I have to be rooted to restore that backup?
2. Can I UNROOT my device later? (The device belongs to my father's work and I don't want to take any chances with the warranty things.)
3. How to install the ICS CM9? I think I have all the files I need to so, I hust need the guide.
Thx for your help!! I really hope that I will get this thing going already!
Yes, you need to be rooted in order to install cwm through recovery and then make a backup (although you don't need rom manager. In order to flash ics you have to install pershoot's recovery with odin). You can unroot later, but you have to remove the recovery as well if you want your device to be covered by warranty for sure. So flash with odin a stock rom and you're ok BUT you may loose the data.
Listen, ics installation is tested and almost fool-proof. But bear in mind that a lot of things can/may go wrong and then you'll find yourself in a mess. Since that tablet doesn't belong to you, you should better leave it be, unless of course you have your father's consent and you have explained him all the risks involved.
It wouldn't be nice to find his tab messed up!

Thx for the answers, but my stock version is not in the site, trust me i searched. My ROM version is p7500jjkj1. Can you give me a link to that?
And if I back up my current ROM through ROM Manager, will I be able to restore my device from this backup? or do I have to download the stock version?
please help me...

Try to Google it. It may come up. You can backup your device through cwm but I would also find the stock firmware if you are going to want it in the future.

OP... Why are you so hung up on ROM Manager???
Just root using the Odin method mentioned, once you've rooted and have CWM installed just do all of your backing up, restoring and flashing through it. ROM Manager is nice and all but it has its own set of issues and all. Read and learn about what you are about to do... You'll be surprised how easy it is and you'll run into alot less problems.
Please put the ROM Manager down and step away.

Hi every one.
Got my s3 when it launched & rooted it with odin using the unlocked kernel? Can't remember exactly ?
My phone keeps telling me there is a software update, but it fails when I try install.
Looking for some advice on what I should do to update it. But obviously I don't want to lose root access.
Also jelly bean is due soon & I'm just wondering whether to wait till then?
Im currently using a stock Rom I think?
I really like the way I have it set up at the min & I'd like to keep it as close to how it is now on jelly?
Can you make a custom Rom from my phone & put it to jelly when it's released.
Any help or advice would be great.
Cos I'm totally lost to be honest?
there was a member who had a problem like this.
1-)people suggested him to flash a stock rom update it and root it again. ( of course do a nandroid backup or titanium backup )
then there will be no problems.
2-) you can choose to flash any available rom for your s3. directly put it in your internal sd and flash with cwm.
you can search that in forum.
P.S: Roms are for use of everybody, you can select what you want to install ( you dont need to search a Rom made for your phone )
OTA's don't work of you are rooted and running a custom recovery.
Flash the latest stock ROM via Odin and root it, but you won't get official OTA's when you are rooted.

So flash back stock kernel through odin , update it & then re-root?
Can jb be rooted yet?
I might wait till jb is released officially, it's due in a few days isn't it?
Thanks for the reply guys but I'm still a bit unsure what I'm doing tbh .
I always take my time doing stuff like this cos I don't want to brick my phone?
Hey this may seem like a very dumb question. However as this is my first Android phone I thought I'd ask non the less.
I have a rooted GT-I9300 S3 running 4.0.4. I was looking at the 4.1.1 LH7 release, and was wondering if updating to this firmware via odin will undo the root on the phone or if it will remain rooted?
Apologies again for the stupidity of the question, maybe its just been a long day.
OTA updates
CF-Root v6.4 supports OTA updates to be flashed by the system, but when you flash an OTA, that OTA will probably replace recovery (and keep trying to do so at every boot). You need to re-flash CF-Root after applying an OTA. Just re-flashing CWM will not work and stock recovery will keep coming back.
How to install using: Mobile ODIN
Thank you for the speedy reply and help. Its like you created a new level of awesomeness. Thank you!!
Hi there guys!!! Thank you all in advance for all the great info and roms and tweaks this site has been providing me since my HTC Desire days.
So my question is this.I've rooted my phone.Then did a nandroid of my rooted stock rom. And then tried a couple of roms and now I'm back to the rooted stock rom(don't ask me why...maybe because I like all that 'jing bang' ). So now that I'm back on my rooted stock rom will I be eligible for OTA upgrades?? Or do I need to COMPLETELY return to stock taking the Odin route???

I believe you will have problems with OTA updates, being rooted - they may download, but fail to install. Full Odin-able releases tend to appear at the same time as OTA updates, so if you want to keep root, I'd tend to use Odin/Mobile Odin to update,
Thnx a ton mate.
I think I'll be keeping a close eye on the official firmware release thread.

Hey folks-
I'm currently on CM10 nightly, but I'd like to switch over back to the stock update. My device is unlocked, so I know I can't just get the OTA.
I also gather that at this point we don't yet have an image to flash to get the update via other means. But when we do, in theory, what are the steps going to be to get to the OTA version? Is it going to be as simple as flashing a ROM? Will I need to go back to a recovery image via ADB first? Or will there be more involved?
Thanks in advance for the help!

all your questions are answered here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1911024
if you are unlocked you will be able to follow op instructions and get the official JB update
Similar situation for me. I put CM10 on a while back but basically hadn't touched the tablet in a couple months. Decided to give the tablet to my wife (an upgrade for her from the TF101). I just flashed the stock .28 zip available from the Asus support site to get back to stock recovery and system files. Not sure if JB would have come OTA or not. I didn't feel like waiting so I rooted it and copied the dlpkgfike to /cache. Have to say stock JB on the TF201 was quite nice.
