My girlfriend and i are on a custom Rom, but we want to try the stock official jelly bean rom. I just can't find anywhere where it says the date is going to be rolled out. And when it does come out, do i have to flash stock thru Odin to get the update, or can we just got update phone and it will update it. Thanks, Jake
Sorry dude. I know you just opened this thread but there are 2-3 others in General already (both updated today; here and here). At this point no one knows outside of TMo when JB is going to come out.
As for your other question, you can stay on your custom and flash a flashable version that I am sure will pop up hours after release. Or you will have to flash back to full stock (ROM/Kernel/Recovery and no Root) to take the OTA.

Hi,
I am from India and using Gnex ("yakju") unlocked phone with JB 4.1.1 version. I am planning to upgrade my phone with 4.1.2 build since it is released. But the OTA update on my phone does not show any new version and still says "Phone is up to date".
Can someone please suggest me what could be the reason here.
Thanks a lot for your time.

First, your location really has nothing to do with the OTA. If you're running yakju or takju, the software update will come to you quickly regardless of where you happen to live at that time.
As far as the 4.1.2 OTA goes, very very very few people are actually seeing it. I find it hard to believe that its even rolling out officially yet. If you're anxious for 4.1.2 you can flash the stock image, which is available. Otherwise, just wait for it to show up and notify you that it's ready to download. It will come, there's nothing special you need to do.
Thanks a lot for clearing my doubts. I was under the impression that 4.1.2 is released via OTA.
And surely I will wait for the release to be available by Google.

Correct me if i'm wrong but I couldn't find any significant changes for Gnex on 4.1.2 changelogs...
Hey Fellaz,
another noob, another question:
I'm kinda getting into the process to root my device and install a custom ROM, which in my case will be Slim Bean.
But first I want to wait for the official JB Update via OTA and after that i want to root my phone and install the custom ROM.
My Question won't be how to do it, don't worry.
Here it goes:
When i receive the update, will the rooting process be any different from when you do it on ICS ? I mean there are lots of guides on the internet, how to flash fastboot and CWM and so on.
There are links to fastboot, to the htc drivers, to the CWM, the files you need to do that. My Question is, will those be outdated when you have JB or does all stay the same ?
The same for Slim Bean, will the flashing process stay the same if I have official JB or will the files change which i need to use (hboot and stuff) ? I just coudn't find information if all the necessary files only run if you go from ICS>JB.
In my case i will be going from official JB>custom JB rom.
Jesus my english sucks when i'm excited, sorry !
Thanks in advance and have a nice day !
Nope....nothing changed. All in the same way
thanks for the reply !
And what will be about the hboot, if I get the official JB update, will there still be a need to chance hboot in order to flash Slim Bean ?
Don't think so, slim bean is a JB rom ? And after the update you will be on a JB hboot ...well that's clear as glass i think
alright thanks, yes Slim Bean is an AOSP based JB rom
As I saw in the JB Thread there will be a problem and in the second post of the JB discussion thread, it says that out there is only 1 rom which supports the hboot version coming with the JB Update.
So what's the truth now ? Can't anyone make a clear statement ?
So as I was browsing around the interwebs, I decided to check Sammobile to see if there were any new firmwares.
Turns out T-Mo released a new rom this month (no idea when because I dont check daily) and I would assume its Jellybean.
Here is the Hotfile link they sent me to and I'm downloading it right now.
Its not jellybean, its 4.0.4

Crap, okay....
Mods, you can delete this thread
The improvements are: "Qualcomm fix, Security enhancements, Vlingo S Voice improvements."
I have a stock T989 with the LI1 firmware... it's ICS 4.0.4. The new LI4 version is... ?
I haven't updated because I don't trust that it will be stable yet. I'm getting 36 hours of battery life (with plenty of use!) out of LI1 right now. I don't want it to get all fubar'd again.
samsung galaxy s2 Tmobile
firmwares.

Root it the same way as the previous version. The same custom recovery and busybox/SU installer files work properly.
Closed per OP request
I've got an AT&T Note II that had Clean Rom on it, but I really wanted to get 4.3. Finally heard that the official OTA had been released about a week ago (mid December), so had the bright to return my phone to stock and do the OTA. Returned the phone to stock (4.1.1) and checked for updates...was very excited that an update was discovered and downloaded. But when all was said and done, it was the 4.1.2, not the 4.3 I expected. I've tried to again check for updates, but my phone tells me I have the "most current version". Phone is no longer rooted...Kies is no help..tells me I can't update this device via kies.
What am I missing here????? I'm pretty much a noob, though have tried a few custom roms. Can't say I'm particularly adventurous...I thought if I could at least get 4.3 I'd be REASONABLY current with the roms.
Thx much!!!

Download the 4.3 file or use Keis, I think it released.
4.3 not updating

Thx...but Kies won't allow the update. If I could find the native 4.3 file, I'd flash it it. I just flashed the leaked 4.3 for sgh-i317 from 2 months ago, so I now have "a" 4.3...just not the final official one. Maybe that's the best I can do for now.
Thx anyway!

All I've been able to find is the leaked version from October... which I'm using. But it's not the final. Best I can tell is the final is I317UCUBMK6 and I've not been able to come up with anything on it. But the for trying.

You might have to downgrade from leaked 4.3 to 4.1.2 and then use the MA4 to MK6 file through ODIN.
So originally I posted this thread because I was stuck in a recovery limbo. Flashing rom wouldn't work, restoring wouldn't work.
But thanks to the assistance of a few users I found out that the recovery and nightly I was using needed to be updated. Finally flashed CM11 KitKat. Not impressed... Had hoped to be able to print and screen record (features boasted among the official Release feature additons). But right now Im greatly disappointed actually. There seems to be a lot of features (printing, screen recording, and standard Samsung apps/features) either missing, unavailable through CM11 or just not yet available through CM11.
Either way at this point I just need to unroot to OTA, or flash a Jelly Bean stock rom. So thats why I retitled the topic of this thread.
Any searches for original stock roms results in mirrors or links for foreign links, and foreign roms.
Does anyone know of a Jelly Bean stock rom for the Galaxy 8 N5110 for the USA?
I'd prefer to flash using Odin too...
WOuld anyone be able to spare a moment to help me out with this?
