So been while since I've done much rom flashing. Had an EVO for 2+ years and tried lots of ROMS, but then got the sprint GNEX because I just wanted vanilla android without having to mess with ROMS as much. As such, I'm just running stock 4.1.1, with it rooted for a few apps and wifi tethering which I flashed after rooting. Looking to update to the new stock Sprint 4.2.1 firmware, keeping root and wifi tethering. Back on the EVO, every time there was a new firmare update, someone would post a "stock rooted" ROM (not that I used them), that didn't have anything done to it, but can't seem to find that with the latest Sprint GNEX update, only one that seems to come close has been fiddled with, deodexed, causing some issues. I'm also not used to flashing without my data being on a removable SD card. So I'm wondering, is there a way to just flash a rooted version of the Sprint firmware, keeping my data and wifi tethering (or by just flashing a new 4.2.1 wifi tethering patch), or can I use OTA rootkeeper, flash the OTA update, and restore root? I've got latest TWRP recovery btw, which it seems I would have to change back to stock recovery to flash the OTA update correct? Thanks for any direction anyone can provide
First off, im not sure about wifi tethering, but it is an option on gsm android settings. I would use OTA rootkeeper, but you need the stock recovery first to accept the ota. Did you check this thread? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1419170

Thanks so much for pointing me in the right direction. Swear I tried to search other threads before asking but somehow missed that one, looks like it should tell me what I need. Think I was looking too much in the development forum for a full ROM to flash, and missed that thread in the general forum about just applying the update. Thanks again!!
i am on 4.1.1 and im kinda bored with it now. i was wondering if i could get the 4.2 update for the phone. i know t-mobile has got it and like rogers and big companies like that. i go to system update, hit it and it tells me i have a modified phone. it is rooted, but i was able to update to 4.1.1 rooted, my counter on the phone is at 0. I was just wondering since i got like 1/8 of the premium suite samsung promised. i am open to change the rom, but i don't want to lose any of my data or even format the device, but if its a major jump i can. i user titanium backup to back everything up. Thanks

yup t999, sucks eh. sorry about the post. i flashed some t-mobile roms, might switch back
I just wanted to start a conversation about what people are hearing about when a Stock Rom 4.2.2 for the i747 might be released to the public or even leaked out would be nice.
Rumors and/or conjecture is welcome...
there is plenty of articles out there.. here is one:

Both articles are 9300 based not i747 but likely to get the same features when it comes.....

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".

I'm just glad I backed it up first
EDIT:
As of 4:07PM EST in Toronto, Ontario Canada, The software update tool in settings says that 4.1.1 is the latest release for my phone.
I got a message saying a 4.2 update was available for me but my wife never got one
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
My phone is unlocked and using a MetroPCS sim card, so I couldn't get the OTA update, even on Wifi. After following the instructions at [Download][Install] 4.3 OTA Update, I no longer have data connection on the phone unless I use wifi.
From what I've read, this usually happens because a modem wasn't flashed, but I assumed that the 4.3 update in that thread had a modem. Even so, I entered stock recovery and flashed the modem from the hidden part of Loserskater's post here. But I still have no data.
Does anyone have any ideas what went wrong or what I can do next? I don't mind rooting if that's what I have to do (I plan on it anyway, but didn't know if I should work on getting data first).
Thanks

it could be that, you mixed a leaked modem with a different build thus messing with the final official build or update that ATT released last week
wipe everything if thats possible then download the 4.3 firmware from this link http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23212708291680243 and since you are on stock just download it using odin (use this link if you have no idea of how to use odin) http://droidow.com/galaxy-s3-i747-update-with-ucuemj2-android-4-3-leaked/ but on the PDA part use the file you download from the link above (update43.zip) and that will fix your problems
this may or may not work, i have not tested as i have not updated to 4.3 am waiting for devs to update their roms to 4.3 and then i can go with 4.3/rooting
follow instructions carefully since 4.3 for the S3 is like a virus, this update just leads to HARD BRICKS but dont worry just do everything right and things will be fine
hope you have i747 = ATT not i747m = CANADIANS variants

After hunting through all the settings options, I found that I had nothing in the Access Point Names menu under Mobile Networks. I think because I updated with a Metro-PCS sim card in the phone, rather than an ATT one, for whatever reason I didn't get any APN settings.
So after hunting down T-Mobile's and writing them in, I now have Data. Phew!

nice to know you fixed it :laugh:
So, I have an i317 At&t note 2. It was originally on 4.3, but I wanted to unlock it. I followed some forum posts and reverted back to 4.1 and was able to unlock it. It worked with a tmobile sim on 4.1.1, but now when I try to update it (either through Kies or through update on phone), it updates but then gets stuck at the samsung galaxy note 2 display. I found another forum post (thanks, but cant find thread atm ) which had a file to download. I installed that using Odin, but that only got it to work on 4.1.1.
I guess my question is I have the note 2 running on 4.1.1 that I factory unlocked, but now it wont let me update. How do I get 4.3 on it? Thanks
Ok there's plenty of 4.3 Rom's in the development section...
Just have to search for them!
Q: »»»»
Is it rooted?
Do you have a custom recovery installed?
Are you sure your familiar flashing Rom's?
Etc etc etc......

It is not rooted. All I have done to it is downgrade it to 4.1.1, then unlocked it. Is there a stock ROM. I want to be able to go into settings -> about phone -> and update it that way whenever a new version comes out and not have to install custom ROMS. Is that possible?
No, I don't have a custom recovery installed and I am not familiar with flashing Rom's.
I thought I could downgrade to 4.1.1, unlock, then update to the newest stock version through updates in the phone, but thats not the way it works when you unlock the note 2??
thanks
Pardon me if I sound ignorant. I am new to android (switched over from apple a month ago). The note 2 had 4.3 on it. I followed thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2014982
to unlock my phone, but had to revert back to 4.1.1 in order to do so. I followed posting
http://wccftech.com/guide-to-downgrade-firmware-on-samsung-galaxy-devices/
to downgrade to 4.1.1. That went successfully and I successfully unlocked the note and all was good. It was running 4.1.1 and I was using a tmobile sim. I went to updates through settings on the phone and tried to update. After that point, it just boots up to "samsung galaxy note 2" screen. I used Odin3 v3.07 to reinstall 4.1.1 and its working again.
I would ideally like to be able to go through software updates on the phone to update it and not need to use custom roms. Is the problem I am trying to update from 4.1.1 to 4.3 and I need to manually update to 4.2.x first, then go to 4.3?
I don't understand why unlocking it prevents me from updating from 4.1.1. I have tried through the phone and through Kies, which keeps getting an error. Does this make sense? Am i doing something wrong? The phone is originally At&t. Do I need an At&t sim inserted to update through the phone?
thanks for all the help and once again, sorry if these questions seems elementary. I am reading through forum posts and trying to understand what all this means. I'm not sure what rooting or flashing means and how flashing is different then unlocking.
Thanks for the help

What is unclear is why ware you trying unlock it, what carrier it was on and what carrier you are changing to,
You're asking if it needs an ATT SIM to update, so I'm lost on what carrier it was on.
The original carrier is at&t. I unlocked it and now am using a tmobile sim. However, when I got to settings and check for updates, it says "checking at&t servers for updates". So it is working for tmobile now, but only on 4.1.1. I don't mind downloading custom roms (and definitely appreciate the work), but I would like the option to not have to.
And when I boot up the phone, even though the network says tmobile, it shows at&t start up screen when it boots up into 4.1.1. Which is why u was thinking maybe the reason it won't do updates through the phone is cause there is no at&t sim inserted when it is "checking at&t server for updates"

Well, over my head here. I think you have figured out technically why it's not working.
You are operating on a T-mobile network and you will not see ATT servers.
Even though it's says you are on T-mobile is anything working? Like texting, surfing or cell calls?
I would imagine texting is not since the config should be pointing at ATT servers.
I would think you should be running one of these factory images
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1969551
I personally do not know if the T-889 is close to the ATT Note 2 model.
You may want to bounce over to this forum
http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-2-tmobile
See if anyone has attempted what you are doing.
In my mind you need to flash a T-mobile image to do what you want.
I am not suggesting you do this, I am merely giving you an opinion.
You may want to investigate this custom ROM

Yeah, I dunno. It's an i317 on at&t. And it was definitely on tmobile cause it let me send text messages and it showed "tmobile" across the top as well as their 4g icon.
All I was trying to do was unlock my at&t note 2. Now its unlocked but stuck to 4.1.1. Lol
