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.

Flashing orginal firmware via odin dosnt ask root, and dosnt void your warranty.
Thanks, sounds like the perfect solution!
Dear Friends, I have been searching for 2 days already and can't find the explanation to the questions stated below. I wanted to install new ROM ICS on my Sensation XE, and found that I need to update my firmware to ... Could you please clarify the following questions:
1. What is the Firmware and where can I find the current firmware that is installed in my phone? (as far as I understood firmware has nothing to do with android version)
2. Is that correct that in order to update the firmware I need to flash a zip file PG58IMG of the kind?
3. What is RUU and how does it relate to the firmware and radio?
4. Does the firmware or RUU update my hboot?
5. Why hboot 1.20 and above disables fast boot feature and why is it so important?
6. Can updating the firmware of RUU brick my phone and can the firmware update be reverted?
Thank you for all your answers. I would appreciate you answering as simple as possible. I am not very new to these things but more simple explanation would help greatly.
Have a look here to begin with.
I have no idea what is happening. The phone is unlocked and installed CWM when I was in China one week ago since I need a different rom so that I can use Chinese service provider's internet. I went back to America yesterday and found verizon wouldn't work then I try to figure that out by myself.
During that time, I flashed VRALI3 baseband with CWM. Verizon's signal came back again when I flashed the stock rom but VRALI3 stays on my phone. That was all I have done to my phone so far. I couldn't find anything about VRALI3 on google and I need help with this. Thank you!!![[[[[[[[[[[Android Version 4.1.1,Baseband Version I605VRALI3, Build: JRO03C.I605VRALJB]]]]]]]]]]]]

Hello to everybody.
First of all I need to tell that this is my first post in this huge community, so as you could understand I am so totally noob, besides I am from Latin America so excuse me for my bad english.
I have a S3 I9300 (bought on december 2012) and I am feeling worry about the sudden death issue, according with what I've read one of the possible causes of this issue might be the bootloader of the jelly bean, so they recommend to install old bootloader the one which came with the ICS 4.0.4, but doing this may brick my device.
So my question is does worth the risk to install this old bootloader? another thing is that I have the red exclamation mark when the phone is booting (I am currently using Sotmax v12 rom with Yank555 2.8f kernel).
And in case the answer is yes do someone has tutorials or video of how this should be done?
Thanks in advance for your help

Thank you for your response, I've read the thread you suggest and I still do not understand some aspects like:
1.- Do I need to be on 4.0.4 Stock to flash the bootloader?
2.- In order to flash the bootloader just need to place the ICS old bootloader XXALEF provided in the thread in the bootloader section in Odin 3? or is needed to do another procedure first? do I lost root?
I am sorry to bother you, but I want to be sure about what I am going to do before try to do it.
Thanks
I think do what you see in the other thread.
The trick is look for a country that has not gotten uodated to JB 4.1.2. Stuck at 4.1.1. DL the last 4.04 (ICS) of that country. Flash it via Odin. Then upon first boot (dont root in the mean time) let it update to 4.1.1 via the phone's OTA Software Update. This is the key part when a JB 4.1.1 Bootloader will be installed that will break the XXELLA bootloader's protection.
After that OTA update is finished (285 MB file) then you can flash that XXALEF ICS Bootloader through PC Odin.
Then do root or wahteva you want.
This is described in Dr Love's thread. I'd done this way.
Another way is this one.

Thank you so much for your response. I will try the second method and see what happens.
Sorry for my persistence.
Now I understand almost every step on the procedure to downgrade the old bootloader, but one still question still remains do I need to be on 4.0.4 stock to downgrade or it does not matter what firmware I am using?
Thanks for your help
Ever since I have updated my phone, I have not been able to use the LTE. I already know there was a problem about this more detailed being delayed text messages and it was solved via an update. But being my phone is rooted and have a custom rom, I am not able to update what I need and I haven't been able to find it.
Here is my phone stats.
5.1.1
Xtrestolitel Deo Mod 2.4 925FXX COI9
Bootloader 925W8 BOI6
PDA 925FXX COI9
CSC 925FOAX3COI9
Baseband 925W8 BOI6
Can someone point me in the correct direction for the latest bootloader and baseband and/or what ever I need that is latest for the W8 Rogers model? I have been looking for a long time and haven't been able to find it other than from the place of where we do not speak or post links of.
Thanks in advance.
