Ive heard recently that sgs3 is soon to be receiving the 4.3 update, skipping 4.2.2 all together. 2 questions.
1. Apparently my current firmware isn't supported to update via kies, meaning I can't check for updates via kies. Was running cm10.1 nightlys then decided to re flash stock back onto the device. So im running official 4.1 touchwiz with stock kernel.
And 2. Will this update be available over the air since kies doesn't want to work? I mean it should right? I am on stock now so I don't see why not? Thanks guys all help appreciated

did you follow the guide to get back to stock conditions? including non-modifed status etc.? usually KIES should even work with root, just removes root after the update though.
I guess the easiest, and maybe fastest bet would be to just download the update once on sammobile or here on xda and flash via Odin.

well, i have an GS2 rooted (android 2.3.4) and sim unlocked with Galaxy S Unlocker.
if i upgrade to ICS when its released, do i loose root?
if I loose root, SuperOneClick will still work if my GS2 is ICS or do i need to wait to an update of SUperOneClick (to supor GS2 with ICS) to root my device again?
well, those are my questions.
thanks in advance.

1) Of course you'll lose root if you go back to stock.
2) Ask whomever developed SuperOneClick if it will work with ICS.

Or you can wait for an ICS custom ROM ...
Hi,
I've rooted my S2 with CF-Root 4.1 and I'm using a 2.3.5 SamFirmware ROM.
Can I just update over KIES when ICS comes out? Will the Kernel be replaced and what Files will be erased?

If you have a rooted rom, if I remember well, Kies won't update your firmware... You have to use ODIN...
ok so just to make this 100% clear (i am a complete noob and i always make stupid questions, so flaming is accepted )
I have a Galaxy S2 with just rooted firmware (XWKJ1). I used an insecure version of this firmware to root the phone following the Odin/CF Root guide. Also I am not using any custom made rom like CM for example... If I upgrade my phone through Kies when the ICS update rolls out will I be able to complete the process succesfully?
Also from what I understand if the update procedure is completed succesfully I will lose root and will have to do the whole process all over again... Is there an insecure firmware matching the ICS firmware that will replace my old one?
Thanks in advance for your help...

Unless the ICS firmware you upgrade to is already rooted, then yes. You will lose root.
Just try Resurrectio Remix v9.6 by westcrip. Its the best ics rom right now.

It was never guaranteed to be released worldwide on a single day anyways. Can you imagine the millions of I9100 users all trying to download the official ICS update via Kies at the same time? Their servers would have an aneurysm.
It would surely have been reposted for download though. Also, it was posted in various languages including English speaking Samsung sites.
I know that it is what it is and there's little point now, but I haven't had my ***** about it yet, except to my wife who is fairly confused about why this is such a disappointment for me.
Now I've had my little ***** attack about it not happening and will maintain it to this.
I dont understand why its such a big deal to get the update. Why not just flash a custom rom?

I've been squeamish after many GB ones had serious issues, for example we'd forgotten our camera when my second kid was born by cesarian and I had a sleep of death on the phone - was doing a Nandroid restore of stock 10 minutes prior to entering the operating room. It saved the day.
That said, I flashed a custom ROM right after that last post and it's been really impressive. I haven't yet found an issue with it. Everything seems to be working really well and the battery life might even be a little better than the GB ROM I was using though it's still to early to say.
I get annoyed with all the banners and the immediate back patting when there's a new RoM that hasn't even been tested, but just to answer the question some people might be asking about which one I was impressed with, it was Resurection Remix. It also happens, thogh, to be the first one I flashed that was a Samsung based ROM opposed to AOSP.
It is still annoying though. I suspect Samsung is merely manufacturing their own hype about this, intentionally, and that is irritating.
Hi, i have an S3 and i want to install Jelly Bean.
At the moment i have my device rooted using: Odin3-v3.04_Galaxys3ii.com with CF-Root-SGS3-v6.4
Now to the question: How do i proceed correctly to update to jelly bean? And if possible, get root-access as well? But if that is too complicated i would happily settle with stock JB.
I tried to update OTA but got this error (roughly translated from Swedish): "Access to the software update service is provided to the user in the order they request it. try again later."
Then i tried through Samsung KIES. It finds an update but the program just freezes when i try to install it, not affecting the phone.
Thanks for all answers!

Okay thanks, how do i go back from what i have? I cant seem to find a guide to undo it.
This is what Kies tells me when it want to update. It doesn't really tell me if its JB or not...
Built-in software, the current version : PDA:LH3 / PHONE:LH1 / CSC:LH2 (NEE)
Built-in software, the latest version : PDA:LJ2 / PHONE:LID / CSC:LI2 (NEE)
Thanks again!

Ok nice! So given that im a noob and all.. Do i need to go to stock or anything before this or can i just load this in with odin and it will all work?
they flash in recovery, all you need is root and custom recovery, if you have those you are good to go, I recommend a wipe, but you could try without, if you find that you have problems with f/c 's then go back to recovery and do a factory reset

Just flash it with CWM, it is a "stock Rom".You should really check out flashing guides in "Stickies", it'll tell u everything u need to know about flashing roms, kernels, mods & so on.

I'm guessing it won't drop automatically to rooted phones with custom roms.

Trying to update via Kies. Update notification but computer doesn't seem to want to download firmware.
Beacuse its rooted
Try flashing stockrecovery first..
Thought might have been cos of that but was previously rooted and still manage to update to ICS.
Just download 4.1.2, it is being rolled out now, we have Polish, German and UK at least now.
And no it will not drop automatically if you have custom firmware, you will need to flash via Odin.
From what i read the premium suite is just a fancy name for all the features the lastest 4.1.2 official roms already have. No point in waiting for the "official" kies update. If you're rooted, just pick up mobile odin, flash the latest and be done with in less than 5 minutes. It most likely won't even delete anything from your phone, mine never did
Topic say itself what my question is
Q: Everytime i do an OTA update it starts installing but on 26% it always fails with small android guy falls with a red exclamatory mark. I did the update previously when i was updating to jellybean for the first time. It was ok but not now. The thing i only done is previously i was at 4.1.2 XXELLA. But yesterday i flashed back an stock ICS ROM via Odin. now if im updating OTA to jellybean it keeps failing.
++ I have XXELLA bootloader as i have updated it via Odin the bootloader remains there.
Any suggestions please?
Why are you using the OTA update, why not just download the latest stock rom from the android development section?
judging by your username, you are rooted
and root takes away the OTA, which you shouldn't be using anyway if you're an xda member
Try to use Kies if OTA fails
No i was rooted before but not now. Every thing is stock but OTA still fails.

Sorry for my English. I mean I wanna upgrade my Android 4.0 to 4.3 or 4.4. But I just can figure out how do I do it. Can u provide me some link the instructional videos to upgrade my android versions. Thanks.
If u have a custom recovery .
Thn go ahead and flash the rom zip of any Android version with full wipe.
If u get status 7 error then u need to have latest cwm

Well maybe a little tutorial first
Rom=the firmware on your phone
StockRom=official (Samsung provided) firmware
CustomRom= unofficial firmware (rooted phones only)
Recovery= it's a surface in which u can install. Zip files and do other stuff like wiping dalvik cache etc. You have to differ between stock-/customRecovery
To install zip files you need a custom recovery like clockworkmod (cwm)
(to) flash something= that just means to install zip files via custom recovery
First thing you need to do is installing a custom recovery , depending of your phone model you can eventually use rom manager from playstore (gt-i9100).
If you have another model you may have to find another way to install cwm as I have no idea if it works on other models as well.
If you installed cwm successfully you now have to search for a rom which is fitting to your phone model, be careful, as flashing of a wrong rom can kill your phone forever.
To start the recovery you have to start your phone while holding the power, home and volume up button pressed. Once there it's a good idea to make a backup before flashing something.
If you have installed cwm through rom manager and have still stock rom, you only can start cwm by using rom manager.
Better wipe every data before flashing a new Rom otherwise you may experience a boot loop.
Alright guess that should be all for now, hope it'll help
