Hello,
I did root my at&t galaxy note 1 device using instructions available from a thrid party website. I was successful.
Now when I connect my device to the compute, Samsung Kies informs me that there is a update version 4.1.2 available.
My question is:
1)Is it safe for me to update the version through Kies?
2) If there is a compatiable version of KitKat available for Note 1, where and how can I update it?
3) Is ROM nothing but the new version of Operating system?
Thank you
Nepo

The update is nothing new. Dont know what you were running, but upgrade is just touchwiz JB. May lose root with update, so it could just be a cycle thing. Its all a mute point if your goal was to flash custom rom. Everything custom is an upgrade from stock.

Thank you for your reply.
Kies messages is :
Current Version 4.0.4
Upgrade Version 4.1.2.
I just want to check that this doesnt brick my phone
Thank you
4.0.4 is ice cream sandwich. 4.1.2 is jellybean. If kies allows you to update then you will only have to reroot your phone as you did before.

Hello, just to preface this- im not very technical, but i can follow instructions well.
Anyway, You guys were great to help me two months ago in rooting my phone. I ended up doing it through Odin and all went great. Got all the **** off my phone which was the main aim. I didn't put any custom roms on there as im a bit useless when it comes to this stuff and i felt i'd be pushing my luck after the rooting went so well.
Yesterday i used Kies and it asked me to upgrade the firmware as there was a new version available.
1. What should i do? Will upgrading through Kies reverse the rooting procedure or break my phone?
2. Should i get the newer update from this site? If so- is there any tutorial for updating the firmware after already rooting the phone through odin (chainfires method i think it was?
Thank you in advance for any advice all.
My phone details are ;
ANdroid 2.3.3
Baseband version I9100XXKE7
Kernel version; 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKF3-CL276555
[email protected] #2
Build number; GINGERBREAD.XWKF3
I have used kies to update firm ware after rooting and it did not UN root my phone so you should be fine. It did however install more useless apps that I had to remove.

i would update via kies then go to chainfires post and pick root and cwm to match your new firmwares kernel .
That way you wont have to learn how to flash stock firmwares etc .,

hi jje, thanks for the reply mate.
Can i ask- do you mean that after updating through kies, i need to download something else? I already have the phone rooted and have cwm on the phone?

What JJ said is to flash via Kies and then flash the CF-Root kernel from Chainfire to get root and CWM in the phone.
Hi Azeurius,
the thing is that i already have root and cwm on the phone. Ive already rooted.
So im at the point where i can upgrade the firmware through kies, but im looking for advice what i should do overall- nearing in mind the fact ive already rooted, and phone details are in Openingpost.
THanks!
Ok well I am also new here but from everything I have read my understanding is that you have rooted your device and loaded the original Kernel for your current firmware. If you upgrade through Kies then you will obviously have an upgraded firmware with the old kernel (from your 1st rooting).
So when you upgrade your firmware you just have to also upgrade your Kernel through odin so your phone will still be properly rooted.
I stand to be corrected. I only started reading about rooting today as I just got my Galaxy s2 having come from a Blackberry so new to Android but loving it!!! Best os ever!
I think I will root my phone but not going to touch the firmware as ICS should be release on Kies soon cant wait

Correct
One big problem with Kies is that if you change firmware its possible that you lose the Kies upgrade path as phone codes no longer match .

Hello guys. Im relatively new to XDA. So I might sound stupid. My question is, as jje mentioned above "One big problem with Kies is that if you change firmware its possible that you lose the Kies upgrade path as phone codes no longer match" am i correct in saying that if I update my Galaxy s II (rooted + cwm recovery no custom rom) via kies, then I could run into problems? Also one more question. If I do update via kies, will it remove root and cwm recovery?? Thanks guys. .

Use Odin
I think KIES forbides to upgrade on rooted firmware. Even if it allows you i think you will use your root. I suggest you if you want the latest stock rooted firmware use Odin find the stock rooted XWLSD(Nordic countries) and flash via Odin (Don't use XWLS8 it has bugs), XWLSD is super stable or XXMS1(Poland) or XWLSE(Russia) if you are not from this countries then use XWLSD. If you want custom rom with no mods and no bloatwares use Neat rom or Wanam lite rom, if you want custom rom with mods and no bloatwares use disaster, biftor, omega, alliance rom and etc.
Yeah. I dont mind losing root access. As log as I can get official ota. Btw has the exynos bug been addressed?

It allowed updating firmware on my rooted S5, but I did lose root when it was all done.

Thanks. I will be try updating my rooted i9500 and P600 via Kies. I am not sure if there is already an update for my region available for the S4 but I was prompted to update my P600 only to get a notification telling me that my device has been modified. This was for OTA updating. I really hope it works because I am really not looking forward to un-rooting these devices just for the updates since downloading the stock ROM takes forever. Will post results after trying just in case anyone is interested.
Hi All,
I want to return the original version of the instrument (version 4.0.4) which I upgraded version (4.1.1) -
how do I do that?
Where can I find version 4.0.4 so that when they emerged Original Samsung's official update then the device is updated ?
Thanks
Just download a ics rom and flash it in cwm...

Can you please explain what do you mean ?
I'll very appreciate it if you could explain what you said
I am not sufficiently familiar with all Android device and the world.
1. CF-Root
2. install and use triangle away
3. Go into CWM recovery and wipe data/cache
4. Download ICS firmware for your region with checkfus
5. Flash the firmware with odin
6. Make sure you have the right CSC to receive future OTA updates.

1. Download the ICS firmware of your region
2. Flash it using Odin. Make sure re-partition checkbox is unchecked
3. Full Wipe - If it loops on the boot. Actually is does loop.
All the best

Use CHECKFUS and download stock firmware and install via ODIN .

Can i upgrade to jelly bean via odin?
If i can't upgrade because of root tell me how to remove the root
yes, you can upgrade to jb with the rooted device. there is odin and cwm versions out there.
You will lose your root unless you use a special rooted kernal by Philz.

No sorry, you need a working light sensor and a non darkly screen to do that.
You can upgrade via ODIN with no problems but you need to root the device again
Hi,

Download the 4.1.2 firmware (if it is released for your region) from Sammobile.com and flash through ODIN. You'll have to re-root again, though.
Cheers!

Download 4.1.2 firmware from any link. Install Mobile Odin. Flash using Mobile Odin and check the Everroot checkbox. Once done you will have all updates and root intalled on your device.
Will that delete data like apps or contacts etc?

contacts and Apps normally not. (Only you factory reset the phone, then apps will be erased) Flashing so many firmwares but never erasing contacts.
hi, to be fear i had the same problem and all i had to do was to update the firmware using the Samsung kies...once you connect the phone to your computer, will have to open the Samsung kies and the program will automatically ask you if you want to update your firmware; and if you don't know how to get the Samsung kies you will have to go on the samsung website and check in the download section. I hope that I have been enough helpful to you and to anyone else that had or have the same problem :laugh: .

He's rooted. Kies won't update it. Kies will only update when it's unmodified, and CSC matches.
Hi,
Today I received an OTA update on Galaxy S II (India). It contained Android 4.1.2 (JB). Update went smoothly without a glitch.
But now, after setting "Software Update" on my device, it says, "Your device has been modified. Software updates are not available."
What went wrong.?
How can I rectify the problem.?
Thanks.
Note: I have never rooted my phone with custom ROMs. Also, in download mode custom binary download is: NO. No triangle anywhere.
Mate forget about kies best way go to sammobile.com download rom u want flash using odin and enjoy . kies is rubish

who cares there won't be an update in ages so until 4.2.2 you can get it by flashing it using odin
