[Q]Whoever updated through Kies or OTA, can you confirm you got a 2.3.5 or 2.3.6?

The leaked ODIN package is 2.3.6. But numerous news said the update is 2.3.5. People have been having doubts whether the ODIN package is "official" or not.
So whoever updated through the "official" channels (Kies, OTA), could you please confirm whether you got a 2.3.5 or 2.3.6?

I updated through Kies.

I updated through odin. Its official as it gets.

So now Im wondering if those that got the OTA are on 2.3.5? How could it be possible that there are 2 different updates?

I got it OTA and it's 2.3.6

I updated through kies and have 2.3.6

the T-mobile announcement doc that says 2.3.5 is just has a typo.

Doesn't surprise me..
Everytime I go into my local T-Mo store, I always end up educating them on a thing or two
It's pretty funny actually. They always look at me like I'm some super-geek freak of nature

Come to my store lol

Kies Update lost Root
Called TMobile and they sent me an update Kies file to install on my PC to have wifi calling enabled. They turned it on at their servers, so I would be enabled, but I told them I was not running stock rom so they sent an update. Installed the update. PC ran and said new firmware upgrade for my phone. It stated Ver 11.12.16.02 during the install.
Anyways, I now have the WiFi calling familiar icon top left notification area, but root is lost. Just want to know if anyone else has the WiFi calling enabled or not without issues. This is or was on Juggernaut 3.7. Can't boot to recovery now. I will wait to hear back from others.

You are brave for tellig them you rooted your phobe. Yes it removes root and gives you stock recovery. Youll have to reroot and install custom recovery again.

Do I really need it?
I just finished setting up my phone just right and now this update comes along. Used titanium BU to freeze device manager to stop the update. I used to have wifi calling on my Nexus 1 but I never used it. Is there any other reason why I shouldn't skip this update?

The new baseband does improve my data speed, before 8- 10 mbps, now 15 - 18 mbps. Home button responses quicker, no more accidentally launch voice search. Overall the ROM is more snappy than before. I still try to see if improve the battery life.

Is there anyway to update without losing root? Can the 2.3.6 ota update still be routed?

Too many users worry they will not have any support if their phones are rooted. I have a rooted Nexus one. It had bad hardware Nand. Bad memory blocks in my system and Data and cache partitions. I sent it back rooted, but with stock ROM stuff, to HTC. HTC RMA's my rooted phone. They have to show cause and effect that rooting did any damage etc. TMobile techs were nice. They were happy to send me the info to grab this stuff manually. And by stating I was rooted, that pushed me up the chain to higher level tech support instead of dealing with robots reading scripts, telling you to reboot your phone, or to try such and such etc.

I actually had 18.2 with Speedtest this morning using Beastmod 4.1, before I ran into my manually upgrading the firmware and losing root. All is fine now with a 5 minute re-root process using Odin and PDA option with CWM. Not a big deal but yes, using those XDA individual files could have save me some grief on this
So depending on how good of a signal you have, and the ROM itself, I did show fantastic PRE-Updateing the firmware. These were consistent 15.5-18.2 reading BTW, here in Downtown Las Vegas this morning. Not just a one time anomaly.

2.3.6 via kies working well.

[Q] Kies question

Hello, I have done nothing to my SGS II epic 4g touch but root it and custom recovery. For some reason I can never get kies to connect to my phone (Ive tried kies and kies mini also kies air) My first question is would just rooting it cause kies not to work? I would like it to work so that when the official ICS update comes out I can upgrade.
I've purposely not tried a custom rom or kernel cause I knew the official update is close and wanted to make it easier on myself. I read on other sites that the euro version of ICS had to be done via kies and not ota. So I would really like to get kies working.
Also since I cant get kies to work I have no way to check if/when ICS is available I'm guessing when it is it will be all over this site? Would that be a correct assumption?
Thanks for any info

You can wait a few hours/days after the official ICS is released and flash a stock rooted version of it, if you take the official update you may be waiting even longer than a few days before you can re-root your device.

Rooting alone would not cause kies to stop working. Kies in general isnt that good and alot of devs seem to take it out of their roms. Idk about the international rom update using kies, but i would assume that when ics is ready for our phones, it will be pushed through an ota. And yes, when ics hits, it is guaranteed to be all over the forums.
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium

Ok that's what I thought. I wont worry about trying to get Kies working then. I'll just keep my eyes out for a official stock but rooted ICS release here.
Thanks guys for the help and information.

That's the best way cuz there's no telling how long you could end up stuck unrooted after taking an ota. With the Evo4g after the GB update ppl were stuck with locked bootloaders and no root for like 2 or 3 months
Even with all the leaks you never know what will be pushed in an ota you can end up with a new bootloader that blocks Odin/current rooting methods or any number of tricky things to try to keep the carriers in control

Haven't got the 4.1.1 OTA

Hey all
I recently changed from the Samsung build of ics (yakjuwx I think?) To yakju. Waited about an hour and still haven't got the OTA update notification
Any way to trigger it?

Good point.
I shouldn't bother waiting for it OTA when i can get JB now

Well if you don't feel like flashing an OTA, the JB OTA is rolled out in batches so you just wait a bit and it should come. With that being said, I just didn't want to wait and flashed the OTA as soon as the yakju one became available and linked here .

You can try this trick to force your Nexus to update, sometimes it need few tries to work, it worked for me

Discussion about Stock 4.2.2 for S3 i747

Yeah I knew they were 9300 guessed I should have mentioned that. And yeah they should have the same features. I'm sure AT&T will take their sweet time releasing theirs but I guess Thank God for the devs maybe it won't be as long.

4.2 Officially Out For Rogers S3's
Just got a text message from my carrier (Rogers) that Jelly Bean 4.2 is offically out for my S3 and I can update OTA from them. See the attached photo for proof.
I'm currently running a custom ROM and have no intention of updating. Just wanted to spread the word that it's out at least on my carrier and likely the other Canadian 'M' variants of the i747.

Haha no freaking way man . have you checked for the actual update and read the details ? I pray its actually the 4.2 update . anyone else have any info?

An official text message from my carrier about the 4.2 update is more than promising. It's sounds pretty official to me. I don't know if it's 4.2.1 or 4.2.2 until someone actually does the update. For me to revert back to stock to get the update isn't possible right now. I just don't have the time. I will at some point in the future do the update though to take advantage of the updated bootloader and other under the hood firmware.
I'm running CM10.1 right now which requires bootloader LK4 so an update for me would break my ability to flash the latest nightlies. Until the assertion gets updated, I'm going to hold off.

I'm on Rogers in Canada
I was doing some maintenance on my SD card, backing up the contents to my local PC and then formatting it in Android, in prep to do a few other unrelated things, when I came across this thread. I saw the user's post above about Rogers texting about the 4.2.x update so I quickly ran off and tried to update via "Software Update". I received the "device is modified, FU jerkface!" prompt, so I rebooted into recovery, wiped, and planned to restore my TWRP stock/unrooted ROM. However I forgot that I had not restored the contents of my SD card back to the device before doing the factory reset in TWRP, so now I'm stuck with a GS3, no OS, no SD card and no way of fixing it until I redownload everything manually..
So, now I'm downloading the official 613MB file and have Odin ready and waiting, and the phone in download mode. I'll restore the 4.1.1, and then check software update before rooting (so it doesn't ***** about being 'modified') and confirm back here which version it is, and if it's a network wide update or something else.. stand-by!

Sorry about your SD card.. But it was for a good cause ! Haha thanks man excited to hear the results

I have a Galaxy S3 with Rogers as well but did not get a text message. I'm not rooted and on stock Android 4.1.1. which I did via the Rogers OTA update a while ago. Just tried checking for the 4.2 OTA update but got a message that says "The latest updates have already been installed".

Seems like it's being rolled out in phases.. wonder what the criterion is?

That would be great, thanks! I was about to root and install a custom rom, but if I can get 4.2 OTA then I'll just wait it out. Surprised that's it's being rolled out to S3 owners so quickly. Felt like I had to wait forever for 4.1.1.

odin to stock right now , let you know when im done

Kies reports my phone has the latest firmware as well.. 4.1.1

[PSA] New Firmware update for Canadian Galaxy S4 SGH-M919V

There's a new OTA update available for the Galaxy S4 SGH-M919V variant from Wind Mobile, Eastlink, Videotron in Canada.
This is the update that finally brings the much awaited Apps2SD feature to our phones. It also includes the following enhancements:
- Some new icons in the settings
- Additional 'Smart Pause' button in quick settings
- Stability improvements
- Upgrades the camera firmware.
- Storage shown as 16GB now, but 6.38 GB is occupied by System memory under 'Misc'.
Firmware version: M919VVLUAMG1

So its official. TMo is the last carrier on Earth to get this update.

The OTA will fail to update if you're rooted.
I had to Odin back to stock and then apply the OTA update.
So yes, the update will break root.
I haven't tried to root it since, so I can't report any progress there.

It failed because it said your device is modified and prevent you from updating or it failed in the middle of updating?

tmobile needs to speed up this apps to sd update.....

I love how they are trying to hide the space the system uses under miscellaneous. This might trick people into not complaining about having more available disk space. I've heard good things about this update... Just want it already.
Still lovin' Tmo more than Sprint!!! 15-26mb beats 100k all day long. And I enjoy being able turn the camera sound off without rooting.

man, i got excited for a minute when i read new firmware update.

T-Mobile is usually quick to send out updates, I wonder why it's taking them long to release this one? The S3 got the JB update pretty quick if I'm not mistaken.

you can blame me for the update not being released and it wont be released for months, according to my sources. I talked to t mobile about all the bugs they have, so they said fine, we will do everything never to give bugs again, hence a long update period...It was probably my phone calls that lead to this wait

You son of a ..... ;__; :crying:

I realize it's always an agonizing wait to get your hands on the newest firmware. However, there's a bright side to it. You all are still able to root and tinker with your devices.
I haven't been able to root the newest firmware using motochopper and am hesitant to try CF-Autoroot because in the case it does trip the flash counter and I loose root, I won't be able to reset it.
So, by the time tmobile sends out the update, there hopefully is a way to root.

Next time if your already rooted you can grab the app voodoo OTA Rootkeeper, which should be able to protect and reapply root after an update.

Thanks for that tip. However, I doubt it would've worked because since I was rooted, the update failed to complete installing around 25%. So, I had to odin back to stock and then apply the OTA. Probably something to do with a locked bootloader.

Yeah, the phone status was 'Official'. You'd have to be in order to get OTA updates/notifications.
Initially upon rooting, the status changed to 'Custom', But I followed the guide below to revert it to 'Official' while retaining root.
