Still learning here. I'm running fw .402 and want to upgrade to.314. I'm a Canadian user and seen many updates for Brazil or Indonesia but can't find a Canadian update. Im rooted on. 402 running EZDR recovery. Can someone point me in the right direction please? Also will I need to install root again and recovery after updating?

All the firmwares are here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2759934 - this is a sticky, so not sure how you missed it.
You will need to re-root etc.

I'm requesting a Rogers 2.3.2 FTF file to use with the flashtool.
There was a 2.3.3 update one posted already, but there are none for the original.
Basically, my phone was screwed, factory reset didn't work, only thing that fixed it was flashing the ftf for 2.3.3, but now I'm stuck with no root. I do use the Rogers apps, and the UK generic obviously doesn't have them.
I'm hoping someone with the required knowledge could make a 2.3.2 for those of us who want to root first, then update with OTA, with the Rogers software included. I'm sure I'm not the only one who wants to have 2.3.3 with root, and not be stuck using the UK generic.
If someone knows how to get the Rogers apps (like the "My Account" one) working in the UK generic, then I'll try that instead.
Much thanks in advance.
EDIT: Screwed up on the thread name and forgot to write what the request was. I apologize for that.
UPDATE: Turns out the Rogers apps are downloadable in the Android market. Would still like the official version though.
can u unlock bootloader on Rogers branded phones?
if yes then u can use the prerooted kernel i have posted here:

Rogers phones are locked. We are hoping for a method to unlock our bootloaders
Hey guys complete amateur at this and couldn't find a clear answer for the issue I'm having. I have an unrooted Galaxy S2, in Sri Lanka.
I believe that my carrier doesn't allow us to get OTA updates as I'm currently on 2.3.3. I've heard that there have been a few more updates since. Was just wondering would it be possible to root the phone and then upgrade to the latest Samsung firmware without installing any ROMs? Just want to break the carriers hold to receive OTA updates from Samsung is all I'm looking for? Is this possible? If it is could someone please point me in the right direction, would be much appreciated. Thanks.
You can install latest firmware without the need of rooting, just grab the orginal firmware (samfirmware.com) and flash it with odin.
This thread can help you:

Flashing orginal firmware via odin dosnt ask root, and dosnt void your warranty.
Thanks, sounds like the perfect solution!

Hi all,
I wanted to flash a newer android 13 stock firmware because my Sony from a UK operator doesn't get the OTA update.
I have the firmware from XperiFirm and made the ftf with flashtool. Just before I was about to get if flashed I was reading comment saying this tool is not good anymore, but I am not 100% sure how to use the Newflasher instead.
Could someone help me on that?
I don't really want to brick my phone and if it's not a safe way to get android 13 I might just don't do it.
Cheers.
