Samsung just released JellyBean for Unbranded UK phones. My phone hasn't recived the update through OTA. So I connected my phone to Kies on a Windows Laptop and a Mac and they both said that "Kies does not support update for my phone". Does anyone know why? My phone is rooted and I haven't flash anything.
....because you are rooted!
Just flash it with Odin....much safer anyway!

Ohhh, I thought Kies worked if you are rooted. Thanks, downloading the firmware now!
Hi.
Will Odin cause any warranty issues if I use it to flash the official UK unbranded Jelly Bean on my S3 that hasn't been rooted?
Thanks
Ok, so after waiting a couple of weeks for an update from Bell since Sony released the firmware, I've decided to take the updating process into my own hands. Coming from a Nexus 4, waiting for updates is something that kind of frustrates me, so here is my questions:
I understand that the model bell has is the c6806. Now, will I run into problems trying to flash the stock Sony firmware from Bell's bloatwared up edition? Also, do I need a custom recovery, or can I keep stock? I really don't want to unlock my bootloader because it's taken me ages to download all the software and files I wanted... unless I do a backup, I suppose.

I also have a Z ultra from Bell and I updated manually following these instructions without issue. Just download the FTF from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2453921. Pick model C6806 GENERIC US.
Then follow these instructions to flash using "Flashtools" http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2428319
You don't need to download the XZU device folder because it's already incliuded in the new installation.
You don't need to unlock bootloader since it's from Sony but you won't be able to root your device and you will lost all your data. Except if you uncheck "Wipe Data" in Flashtools software, be it may decrease stability.
Hope this help.

OMG WAIT DON'T UPGRADE YET. I need your FTF files, because I want to downgrade to 4.2.2, I need root for everything, like my PS3 Controller for touch emulation, to get rid of the navigation bar etc etc.
So please can you extract your FTF files from your Bell Device and send it to me !!!! PLEASE !!!!!

Forget about what I said, I fixed it and BTW I just received the .290 via OTA, so you should have it now !!

LOL
Did you tried to keep root with supersu survival mode? And if so, did it work?
After hearing fo all the problems the .290 update brings (seemingly,) I think I will wait for kitkat. 4.3 jellybean isn't enough of an upgrade to justify the issues it will bring, or to lose root. KitKat definitely will be, though.
OTA failed lol

Meh, I tried but OTA failed installing each time. It fails at the begin of the install, phone reboots and tells me that it could not install the update. Probably because I have Dual Recovery and I debloated the rom ...... Oh well ... loll I'll probably try a factory reset and try the OTA again. I mean I have a nand backup anyway
I'll keep you posted
---------- Post added at 01:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:12 PM ----------
Ok I tried a factory reset and it didn't work either, the progress bar reach near middle than it reboots. I bought the app for OTA survival but can't test it cauz I can't OTA ..... still trying to figure it out.

Does your revision number and product id still matches with your CDMA? With the OTA before mine update failed, but when i matched the product id and revision number OTA suceeded.

Do you have any idea how to know the revision and CDMA code the update is looking for !?

.532?
That OTA is for .257 then. That is 4.2 Not 4.3.
You could find it in BASKOU his CDMA thread. But really doesn't matter which CDMA you use. As long it is matching. The excellent guide from Lord can also help you further. You should defenitly have a look overthere.
Hum I'm positive that it's 4.3 take a look. I'm gonna take a look at his thread thanks

Yeah, that's 4.3 Surpises me that you can update straight from 4.1 to 4.3. But thinking it over, it makes sense.

Oddly enough, I have yet to get the ota for 4.3. Been checking multiple times a day. Hopefully I don't run into issues, since I did root/ Detroit.
I received the ota because my cda product Id was changed when I flashed the Us retail. 532 so that's why you didn't receive it the build.prop you send me wasn't the same as what I had.

OTA is live, I however failed to update mine. Guessing it has to do with me debloating :/ Anyone know of a workaround?
EDIT: PC companion worked! If you run into the same issue, just use your PC
So, lollipop is out and my brother and boyfriend have both updated their note 4 to lollipop but mine always says that it has the latest software update already (mine is 4.4.4). I have also tried updating via kies but it says the same thing. The only updates I am getting is for the Samsung Link.
My phone is unlocked not sure it makes any difference and my brothers phone is unlocked too.
Thanks
Mine too didn't get update so I go to download and flash it with Odin ,,, it's works tooooooo fine and better than before

Has anyone successfully upgraded to the latest while maintaining root? Still on 5.0.2 925a ping-pong root and would like to keep root, giving up root is not an option. I'm guessing not possible but I'm hoping I'm wrong.
Thanka
Just search for root for your model number on marshmallow. If it exists you'll be able to unroot update and reroot. If nor then you will have to wait

You have a link? 925a has a locked boot loader so going to 5.1.1 was a problem back than and I'm not sure on 6.0.1 that is why I asked. If you have a link post it. Thanks

The exploit doesn't work with 6.0.1. Since you have a locked bootloader, you will not be able to root.
Thanks for the confirmation, that is what i suspected.
Anyway to install TWRP without having to unlock bootloader, and if so, can you flash custom roms with this or unlock bootloader?
NO!!!
Is there an unroot guide for the AT&T variant of the LG v10?
