Hello everyone I am using an ATT Note unlocked on T-Mobile. Is there a way to update it to the newer versions of Android?? It's on 2.3.6. I already rooted it and I am familiar with root and flashing so any help is appreciated.
there is an update for 4.0.2

Already rooted.....flash any ROM for an unofficial update. Any ROM is an update from GB. If your looking for an official update, you may have to return to stock. But there is so much more available with the newer Roms. 4.3 and 4.4 are kicking some bootie.

Go down the list......chances are if it is a custom, developer has gotten rid of bloat. They don't like it so they dump it.
Just read OP, get behind the wheel and take them for a test drive.
Do everyone a favor though, don't start a thread asking "which ROM is the best". No one can say what is going to run best for you.
Read OP for features and go with what interests you.
Hint: find ROM with your interest, then go to last page in thread and read backwards for most recent issues. If you don't feel like battling with that problem, move to next ROM.
Good luck, I hope I have helped.

I recommend going with any ROM 4.3 and above. Those offer the latest features and security updates with stability.

I dont remember the last time I got any official update as I'm always rooting and romming so Im curious about this.
I think if you only root and keep the stock ROM, you will probably still get an update. If you go to a custom ROM, no.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using XDA App
In most cases, no. Samsung OTA updates are quite picky and typically won't work if you removed some bloatware. Sometimes you will be lucky. Sometimes you may brick your phone if you attempt it. It all happened in the past. So, if you plan to root your phone, be prepared to ODIN full ROMs from now on which isn't necessary bad because ROMs typically leak long before official release.
unfortunatelly

Hi all, just had my partner get the S3 in red non lte version.
What's the most stable way of flashing and rooting 4.2.1 and who's ROM is good? Anyone have any thoughts about this? Does it work better?

Such questions, what is the better rom, are not allowed. Have a look in the dev section, there are a few 4.2.1 roms (also my sig got one). Flashing is the same as in the guides.

Also i would like to note since most Roms that have this version will have quiet some bugs,
Thats why i most likely stay away from roms till they are somewhat more mature ^^

I would say that we do not get a update, they would not get us the update to 4.1.2, so i think that was the last update.
Now you have to flash costumroms
agreed

I would have to agree. It's a 2 year old device, not matter how you slice it. Unlikely to get anything beyond what we have today OTA. Happy to be proven wrong.

I have a AT&T 6.3" Mega unlocked using it with T-Mobile...
have couple a questions for whenever they push the 4.4 update...
1. as i am on T-Mobile, and the phone is AT&T will i get the OTA update and be able to install it?
2. as the phone is unlocked now, if im able to update OTA, will i lose the unlock, or will still have unlocked phone that i can use on T-Mobile?
3. This one im pretty sure about... my phone is rooted, after updating it to 4.4 i will lose root correct?
Thanks to all that can help with those Qs

You will not be able to do the update if there is one which I highly doubt there will be I know there has been rumors but its not likely if your rooted you'll need to unroot cause it'll trip Knox's and cause issues as for doing the update you'll need to borrow a Sim from someone with at&t and then it'll update or manually do it through keys I am developing a recovery for the i527 to be able to flash 4.4+ Roms look for my threads in development for the mega

since you're rooted, you will never receive any update via ota from at&t.
if you really want to regain update via ota from at&t, you have to unroot, return everything back to stock.
or you can just download the update from sammobile and manually update it with odin, but there's a chance that you might break root.
if you sim unlocked by using an unlock code, then i think it should be fine and permanent.

what about Kies? i would be able to just connect it on a PC and update no ATT card needed?
i dont realy care about the root, i care more if i will keep the unlock, but im not sure how was the phone unlocked... wonder if theres any way to check...
been waiting on the 4.4 as the ROM sizes supposed to be smaller, and the new compression format that you can choose from the developers options so is no more Dalvik would help free more RAM and speed up the device...
the kernels and radios would be updated aswell, making it possibly better battery life and stronger signal aswell...
hope they push it by the end of the month

I don't think ART is available in Samsung kitkat ROMs. Somebody correct me if I'm wrong.
You are correct but guys I'm telling you don't get your hopes up for kit Kat for the mega lol its extremely unlikely

Yea, I guessed. Thanks for your "certified true" news about Sammobile.
Calm down, young padawans... Mega may or may not get KK... And so we have no influence on it. As for me - I'm not eager to have KNOX in my Mega... KK or not KK..
I'm pretty sure the Mega will get KitKit, otherwise why would Samsung have it on their update FAQ.

Yes, that is some indication. But it comes with a caveat :
"Important! This list may be altered as updates are confirmed or released."
I hope this question is not a stupid one...
I want to say that I tried searching and all guides come either outdated with broken links or just designed for a different model.
I have a Galaxy Note SGH-i717R which is a canadian version. I cannot find a current working rooting method that will guide me through installing a CWM or TWRP recovery plus let me flash CM or any other KitKat based ROM.
I have downloaded:
CWM-TOUCH-i717-6043.zip but I know I can't install it until I root. But all rooting guides are outdated and do not work.
I have a good idea on how to root and install custom roms, I've done it on various phones including on my Nexus 5 and 7.
Can anyone give me a link or a quick breakdown of what I need?
I can't stress enough that this is a SGH-i717R not SGH-i717, i have a Canadian Version.
Thanks in advance!

Its running 4.1.2
And its not i717 but i717R.... something about the Canadian R variant make its almost impossible to flash with AT&T versions of the ROMs. OR I am not reading the threads correctly.

It's been so long since ICS, I'm not sure if you have to flash JB before going to KK or not. Look for any thread with JamieD81 on it. He's from Canada so his should work.
