I hate the AT&T Galaxy Express i437 and I can't update the android version (currently on 4.1.2) because AT&T requires WiFi for the update. I also can't find a working root so that is not an option. Is there any way to update to a new version without rooting or WiFi? Thanks
You can't update your device if you have a rooted phone... if you try to update it it will say
1) the device is updated
Or 2) you can't update the device because it has been modified...
Usually the update is of many Megabytes (or Gigabites) and if you don't do it on wi fi it will take ages

I've got my phone running i9300xaella I have an nspro box which I use as part of my business, I've downloaded xaemg4 btu but when I update I get emergency calls only. I try to use the xaella efs file but that doesn't help. Also every time I've upgraded I've had to repair imei and sn. I've downloaded loads of original btu roms and have efs files for all of them upto xaemg4 so I can't update past xaella.

But read all posts and backup your efs. With this app you can unlock your device. After that you can flash a jb rom
if i play to unlock mmy phone whit imei code i have any problem whit updating software?
When you install a script that check's your device's information (example: ro.product.device), where exactly does it check this?
Thanks!

May I ask why?

Right now I am using cm9-1 on my phone (Korean shw-m440s). But last night I saw a jelly bean ota release for my phone. I flashed the original firmware needed to upgrade which was no problem. But the upgrade kept giving me an error saying my device was wrong. I checked build.prop and everything was good and matching. So I just wanted to make sure that was what it checked. Other Korean users have installed the update so I know the ota works. Now I'm just wondering why it won't upgrade.
I have been a member of xda for a good minute. So, I know not to post questions or ask for help unless you have exhausted all other means. Well, I have exhausted all means. I rooted my boyfriend lg p769 yesterday because I was tired of him complaining about the bloatware on his phone. I was stunned to find out that although it was rooted I could not remove the bloatware. I used root checker to check. So I searched xda and found out that the boot load on those phones is locked. I tried several different methods from the kdz to fastboot. None worked. So, I decided to try one last thing and decided that if it didn't work I would leave his phone alone. I searched google play and found some app that was to install recovery. I installed the app and told it to install clockmod recovery. When the phone cut off and back on it was stuck on the s/w updating screen. I searched xda and tried the support tool update, the guide that says unbrick/unlock bl, have also tried pc suite update and fastboot. Within fast boot it gets stuck on the wait for o...something something device. The update tool stops at downloading firm with an invalid path error. I don't know what else to do. I feel bad because I have my rooted s2 on rom deviant developers working just fine and he has nothing. I know in the past when I have softbricked my phones send it in and the manufacture did a warranty exchange. However, I don't want my boyfriend waiting 2-6wks to get his phone back. I am asking the xda community for any suggestions.
Welcome! You can try using fastboot to flash ICS x and u, then flash T-Mobile 20h using offline method.
After you root, I suggest installing L9Recovery followed by making a backup. If you want less bloat, you can try restoring a custom backup.

I had already tried those. Thanks for your suggestions. We just decided to do a manufacture warranty exchange.

1. The international version has bands 900 & 1800. I'm not sure what bands Macedonian carriers use but if they're compatible it should work.
2. This isn't possible with the stock software. The gear S is and isn't a fully functional smartphone; hardware and functionality-wise, yes. Software-wise, no. The ability to connect to another wearable just isn't there on the stock firmware because it's meant to only connect to phones & bluetooth headsets. BUT- this could probably be accomplished by flashing the CM build floating around these forums. Not sure it's compatible with the international model though so YMMV.
