i have new s3 and note 2 under warranty
can i update both with official 4.2.2 rom
There is no official 4.2.2 Samsung Rom, there is an unofficial 4.2.1 or there are cm/aosp Roms based on 4.2.2

can u plzz send me the link of 4.1.2 rom for s3
R: [Q] s3 need some advice
It's not like u can use the same rom though...so still it's better to update via kies or ota....how many megabytes can it be?
Anyway u could use a download booster program such as internet download manager to download the file first then flash

Hi, if you are doing OTA it will be 4.2.2 or 4.2.3 at best, you will loose root, but not files or data.
Some apps may stop working or work differently, nothing to worry about.
Thanks and hows that? Major improvements? Something always weird with this one was the greenish tint when shooting with the flash... Is that fixed?
And there is a new chainfire's root out there i guess....
Thanks

Just want to say this isn't correct. Don't know if it's mistyped or something else, but it should be 4.1.2 'at best'.
Last official (thus OTA available) update for S2 will be 4.1.2. Sad as it is, for today's standards it is still acceptable.
what do you guys think about the 4.3 like sentinel rom?

4.1.2 is the latest (and last) official Samsung update. There are 4.2 and 4.3 roms available, but those are custom ones.

Yes i was wrong, long time didn't have to use stock.
As for ROM selection, try PAC rom, (latest nightly 4.3.1) I am really happy with this rom as my dd.
thanks guys, I am about to upgrade, just a question, can I use the OTA update even if my phone is already rooted and I have Siyah kernel on? is it going to break or get stuck?

The OTA will probably fail.....the OTA package looks for a stock setup, and if you've modified that setup in any way (custom kernel) the OTA won't install.....even if it *didn't* fail, the kernel would be overwritten and you'd lose root.
If it were me, I'd make use of chainfires mobile odin, download a jb firmware from sammobile and update that way......

I just downloaded mobile odin + last firmware like you said, from Samsung Mobile and it's now crunching

Did you enable the 'ever root' option in mobile Odin?
If not, you'll have to root the phone afterwards (if you want to)
A good place to start is the PhilZ kernel (rooted stock kernel + touch cwm)

cheers, actually no ever root since I used the lite version eh eh... I just rooted with this method w/ Siyah Kernel. worked like a Charm... now I guess I will be busy customizing it.. it seems much faster between home screens I have to say!
thanks again for the help
Gab
Yeah....I guess that's 'project butter' or whatever it's called....it's supposed to give an overall smoother performance........
If you are going to stay with stock, my advice would be to 'de bloat' it.....I used Titanium Backup to freeze the bloat first, then delete it after I'd found out that it wasn't needed/critical for the phone to run.......

The thing that I hate the most on stock rom is that it drains battery too fast
...still testing it..

Off course I do it all the time just make sure you do a full wipe and you will have no problems.

If you want a custom jb ROM working fine in WiFi and signal, install shostock3 v4.0 or if you want come back to stock use Odin and install the last stock firmware I777UCMD8

If you have SGH-I747 as your signature indicates, then you are in the wrong forum. If so, disregard the advice above, and go to the correct forum for your phone.
