If I wanted to receive OTA updates with my i9100 and have flashed a stock rom (KI3) on it, does anyone know if it will notify me? KIES does not check for me anymore since the firmware is "not official" which I thought it was, but I would like to know if I could flash it to an earlier version and receive an update OTA. I have had a few issues with my device every time I flash it which continues to annoy me. Such as clearing data of certain apps to get them to work properly. I would rather not clear the data on my phone after every update and would like to just wait for new releases patiently. Anyone have a clue if this will work before I waste my time?
You will not revealed ota updates unless you are on the correct stock rom, and if kies doesn't see it as stick I really don't think you will gt ota.
Also ota is only avaliable on a limited number of carriers/regions.

My phone is unlocked and I have received them before. After the KIES update it does not recognize my phone now. I have heard that even if I go back to a previous firmware then it won't recognize it still. I got the firmware from Intratech's thread and they are all official releases, I am unsure why KIES says it is not the official firmware.
Has no one else tried this? It seems like something someone would have done. I don't want to use KIES anymore, but I would really like to know if I can start updating via OTA instead of flashing new firmwares that require me to clear data on the majority of my apps to get them to work properly.
OTA updates and how they work are not something we have any information for .
OTA will probably look at he same codes as Kies to update . Wrong codes from firmware = no update .
Plus neither will update if no update from the provider on the server .

I also have a SGS2 with a flashed ROM (is an original 2.3.4 unbranded, but is not the one which came with the phone) and also my phone is ROOTed.
Could that be why I also cannot use Samsung Dive services?
I've got a US Prime and I live in the UK but I still haven't gotten the latest firmware update OTA. I can't check manually either as the check update button is greyed out. I got the first ICS update fine on release day (11th?) but I haven't gotten an update since. I want to be able to restore my root after updating which has ruled out doing it manually. It's annoying me more than it probably should to be honest .
So I've been trying to get the marshmallow update all day but every time I check for an update, it always comes back with Your LG VS990 is up to date. No update is necessary at this time. Anyone might know why or some way to fix it?
To clarify - UK Exynos model
I manually loaded the original beta software (beta 1 aka ZRKA) before the Beta program opened. When it opened I signed up and assumed I would be then get the updates automatically as I was installing an OTA update. However I did not receive the beta 2 or hotfix (ZRKN) updates and had to load them manually.
1) Were the updates pushed out to others in the UK or was it delayed?
2) Should I be able to get OTA updates without having to sideload each time?
3) If I can't get OTA updates, how can I go back to Oreo to join the program properly?
Thanks for your help!
You wont get any ota because in odin mode kg state is checking. You need oreo odin fw and upgrade to pie from ota. That way you can get ota in the future.
Just dl oreoand flash it, open members app and check if you are registered. You will get pie beta ota.
I lost Download and TWRP, so I need ota update to repair the phone.
But it has not been updated for a long time. Has LG stopped updating it?
There's method in the T-mobile H932 root guide to fake the OTA update. It was discussed a few times. You can ask there.
But yes eventually more updates should come.
