I'm on M1, I got the notification telling me about the ics Upgrade,
i was rooted and i went back to stock just in case,
Has anyone else Gotten it or am i left out :crying:
And Just to double check how would i download the Ota, And how would it appear on my phone, First time downloading an OTA
You can go to here
Settings > About Phone > System Updates
from here you can download OTA
is pretty much lengthy,though make sure you dl it thru Wi-Fi ~~
Just choose download and then later on, update. Or update later.. And copy out the downloaded file from \cache and then update.
Btw, Malaysian here on Celcom.

Not everyone in Singapore has received the update, don't worry you're not left out our anything, as long as you're stock when the update comes you should be fine, i'm on M1 PSH and I haven't gotten the update too

Make sure you have everything STOCK. If you do anything other than root you'll have a bad time (bootstrap,safestrap). Run Razr ultility, It has an option prepare for ICS.
Alright guys they said a week, so on monday we got the notification, so the first one to get it post here aight
I am in U.S. with Singapore phone still nothing.
My unbranded razr sold in Singapore, got my stock pshasiaretail rom installed the ota from Malaysia already.

for those PSHAsiaRetail user who can no longer wait (like me), you can use the link below to manually upgrade to ICS. It's using stock PSHAsiaRetail, so you will still get official OTA in the future.

Just received the update this morning, PSH from Singapore
Howzit all
If there are any South African RAZR owners waiting for ICS or have received the update, please post here and let us all know what the user experience is like, and if at all possible, post the update on here
Thanks!
Nice to see another south african razr user on this forum. Im still waiting aswell. I have a ME Retail version, so i think we'll get the update when the Middle East gets theirs
What I'm keen to see is if we get an untampered version and not something loaded down like the Droid RAZR's are in the USA thanks to Verizon insisting on loading bloatware.
Also hoping that one of the reasons we're waiting longer is because they're stabilising it a bit more

hey guys,
im excited too. Cannot wait. A buddy of mine did a manual OTA update though. He is having issues with his USB not detected on his pc or any other pc, that is one of the reasons I waited
I have played around with his and it looks much better than the HTC sensation ICS update as far as I can tell, that is look and feel and some added extras
Razr sa ics update
Hi there.
Love my Moto RAZR!!!
I downloaded an unofficial ROM and installed it. It was really nice but it did support sdcard, so I could also not take pics, cause it saves it to your sdcard.... Then tried to go back and bricked my phone... Finally I manage to unbrick it after a days work.
But, yes... It is going to be great and can't wait for the ota release in SA!!!!
Cheers
Congrats bra

My colleague did exactly what you did and now sitting with ICS without SDcard feature. What rom are you currently on and isyour SDcard still not working or is it fixed?
I tried everything possible in order to get my windows machine to recognise my razr.Whenever i connect the phone to the pc, windows pop's up an error message saying "USB DEVICE NOT RECOGNISED", it does not even show on the phone that it has been connected to a pc.Im currently running 676.226.3.XT910.Retail.en.EU

Hi
I reinstalled the original fastboot ROM. He will need to tl dowload it, its about 1gig and install rsdlite and Android SDK Tools on a PC or laptop with the correct drivers for his phone. His phone must be fully charged.
ROM = spyderird_u.01.26.0_spd-ird-21_sign_Asia_retail_hktw.xml
Usb debugging must be on and developers tool on, then restart his phone pressing power butten and vol up and down holing it till in recovery, then select the second option dafastboot. He must update Android sdk tools first. open RSD Lite and open the zip file (ROM) takes 15min then connect his phone and click start. Go and drink some tee and in 15-20min his phone will be as when it was when he took it out of the box the first time. Done....
Its the original so every thing works. If he needs help he can call me.
I JUST GOT MY ics OTA!!! Bussy downloading now, so will let you guys know what happened asap.
Thanks For reply

Hey,
Thanks for your quick response. I sent him this thread link as well to read your response. Im excited for you with the OTA update. Im currently still on 2.3.6 gingerbread but no OTA for me yet.
Also my friend wants to know on which rom were you when you checked for the OTA update? Is this a manual update or via WIFI? Thanks.
RSD Lite

Thanks. I am using the SPYDERIRD_U.01.26.0_SPD-IRD-21_SIGN_ASIA_RETAIL_HKTW.xml rom and I am with VirginMobile, I received a notification that I can update to ICS and it asked me if it can use WIFI and/or data, still downloading so I guess its about 600-800mb.

shot buddy. my friend rhodesa and I both are with 8ta as a carrier, checked for updates manually, none for us and we never received notification so we have to wait.
with regards to your update, did you go back to gingerbread for your to receive that update notification or were you on SPYDERIRD_U.01.26.0_SPD-IRD-21_SIGN_ASIA_RETAIL_HKTW.xml
@u1fourie
Was the unofficial rom that you installed ICS? Because i did the same thing, installed unofficial ICS rom, had problems with the phone connecting to pc's so i tied to go back to gingerbread and bricked it.I eventually unbricked it but now the usb issue is still present.Im currently using 676.226.3.XT910.Retail.en.EU.
Yes the unofficial was ics. Then I went back to gingerbread, maybe I received the update because I use the gingerbread spiderird with Asia signarure, but its still original 2.3.6 gingerbread

sweet...so when you loaded gingerbread, did your sdcard feature work again
i used rsd first yes, but then it failed so i tried again but using EternityProject Fla**** for Windows then it failed again.But maybe the reason it failed was because i used the wrong stock rom which was not for my device
I tried to go back to (SPDREM_U_01.6.5.1-167_SPU-15-M2-3_SIGNEuropeAustraliaEMEA_USASPDRRTGB_HWp2b_Service1FF_fastboot.xml.zip)
Yes . Everything worked 100%.
thanx will try
@ rhodesa
I think rsd lite should install even if it is not the correct ROM. Just make sure your driver are up to date, your phone is fully charge, not using power from your USB, start phone in AP fastboot and that you have Android SDK Tools installed and updated
Great. Ics is now installed and work perfectly. It look a little different then the unofficial i
One but it looks great. Love it!

Great stuff! Still waiting for mine How is it so far? Smooth, no battery drain or choppiness, apps? Please let us know of any errors and if its bloated at all
I tried to update my phone today and ran into an issue. It seems that when the phone reboots into recovery mode, it says that there is an error and forces me to find the download image manually. I looked to see if it was on the SD card and there was no luck there. Is it because the download itself is corrupted in some way, or is this a bigger issue than that? BTW my phone isn't rooted if that helps

Did you get the update OTA? If so you could try a factory reset, then re-download the update OTA, and try again.
Rooted S4 won't update to 4.4, error, rooted with CF-Auto-Root-jflte-jfltexx-gti9505
I haven't gotten the OTA notification yet, but if I go to about phone, system updates it will find it and download it.
When it tries to install it will do the normal things, but at the end won't complete and says error.
What error would it be? The S4 was rotted with CF-Auto-Root-jflte-jfltexx-gti9505 and I also read the source code of KitKat was realeased from Samsung. I guess I may have to wait until I get an OTA update or until one of you masters redoes the update.
Please Help.
Thank You

So if I reinstall a stock OS I can upgrade to 4.4?
BTW can you tell I'm new to this stuff
Hello guys. I am new here, so please bear with me.
I have a Verizon Samsung Galaxy S4, running android version 4.4.2 kitkat. It has no root, custom roms, or anything.
When I try to update my software (settings > more > software update > check for new software update) it tells me "Software update temporarily unavailable. Try again later". It does that every time I try it (I have had the phone for 3 days now, wanting to update) and obviously, I was connected to a WiFi network.
I contacted Samsung via their "Live Chat" function. The lady I talked to told me to boot into safe mode and update, and that it would work (of course, it didn't).
Is there something I am missing? Why will it not update?
The phone is not activated, if that makes a difference.

Did you Notice him that its smartphone bootloader will be "secure download" locked if he updates its phone so he will never be able to flash or root?
Maybe he will later want to root its smartphone, but he will face the most locked bootloader ever.

I just assumed he just wants to update to Lollipop. His issue is that he is not able to get the OTA update and he was looking for a solution. If he was successful in getting the OTA during his attempt the result would have been the same in regards to rooting. Rooting and installing ROMs is not for everyone. Probably most people don't do it.

There are several methods on this forum that will help you get the update. There are method's I believe Killnolife is referring to that allow you to root your phone and install custom ROMs. The link I gave you in my first reply is the official update and once installed you will not be able to root if that is your goal. But just search through the post on this forum and you should find a solution.
EDIT: The instructions to upgrade to Lollipop are in the S4 General forum.
Ok, thanks guys! I did want to root my phone (I actually just did that) so I don't want to update to lollipop then.

This is the latest, official ROM from Samsung (for some reason their BTU/UK region updates are months ahead of other countries/CSC). Creating it's own thread since I saw multiple questions and PMs around this issue.
And yes, this finally fixes the wifi drain problem: only took Samsung almost a year but they did it
Since someone asked on PM: you need to flash all files in the firmware. If you want to keep your settings flash the HOME_CSC instead of CSC (though if you are flashing directly from a very old firmware over 6 months ago this can can cause issues in which case you may have to reset the device anyways).
And no flashing a different region's firmware will not mess up your device unless the flash fails midway or something.
Wonder why they bothered with a security patch and didn't just go to oreo.

Probably because that will take them another 6 months.
Security patches are easier to provide then complete OS... They havent finished doing the final OReo for S8 etc so until they have a FINAL oreo base to rollout across the portfolio then im happy with the security updates
For anyone who is interested, @ashyx TWRP and root method does work on this firmware. I don't know if you could restore a data partition from your previous configuration with TWRP. But if you try it make sure you do not have any security on your device before making the backup.
Sweet! Downloading now

You're going to have to re-flash the firmware, you won't be able to just do an update. But to make things easier do this.
First, remove any security, pin, etc from the device.
Then, boot into twrp and make a backup off the device, external sdcard is fine. You'll only need the data partition but might as well as backup system and boot too.
Then flash the new firmware with Odin, untick the reboot after flashing. Using the keys boot back into download mode.
Use ashyx's method to install twrp and root. Have SuperSU and his boot image patcher on the external sdcsrd.
Then, while still booted into twrp restore the data partition from the nandriod you backed up earlier.
When you boot to system you should have everything back to the way it was with the new firmware.

Gurus,
Now that this supposedly has fixed the standby power drain issue, has anyone had the time to:
1. Determine how much more battery life this provides, and / or
2. Compare how the S3 now stacks up against the S2 in terms of battery life?
TIA
