Kinda a noob question, but I rooted my Note 2 just mainly for the extra security and titanium backup mostly. When the new update becomes avaliable on the 19th, would updating via Kies mess up something on my phone? I get the message that my phone has been modified when I hit the software update in the about phone section of settings, would updating via Kies be possible since i get that message on my phone?
You'll have to go back to stock via odin before you can do the upgrade. Or, just wait for someone to make a custom Rom of the new firmware and flash that.

That's what I thought. Would it be better to wait for a custom ROM of that firmware? I don't have a windows computer to use odin, and I can't find anything like it to use on a mac

I'm going to attempt doing this tomorrow with Mobile Odin Pro. That is to say I won't have to jump through hoops in order to get the update provided it's on Samsung's site tomorrow.
Is mobile odin pro worth the $5? Would that be complicated to update my phone that way?

I've been trying up update my phone to the new LDE update but every time Kies downloads it and it trying to start updating it disconnects my Galaxy s2 and then the pop up comes up again saying there's an update. it just keeps doing this over and over. How can I get it to update my phone?
I have a completely Stock/rooted phone. no mods or changes. i just rooted stock to freeze apps (which I unfroze to try to update).
Help me please! I can't find the correct information for this exact problem anywhere, or at least any information that has helped.
Keis detected root and therefore won't let you update. You cannot update through the company/keis when rooted.
what is the best way to unroot to get theLDE update without having to delete everything from my phone and start over?
You can use Odin to return to stock/unrooted. Then connect via Kies.
Someone correct me if I am wrong, but I believe Odin keeps your data intact.
I updated via kies while rooted.lost root,then rerooted.
Try uninstalling kies,then download it again.

I got this trying to update a plain Jain unrooted phone. What you do is when you first connect your phone it brings up the box that says something like "there's a new update for your phone would you like to apply it now". Choose NO. then let kies finsh loading. There will be a button that says update device or load new update on the right right. It looks like a gear. Hit that and then you can go through the proccess. Takes like 45 mins.

Hi guys,
New to this forum and i need some expertise from you guys. Tried looking all over online for an answer but cant seem to find one. Here is my issue, my phone is a T999v phone from wind but my carrier is mobilicity. I got the OTA push for the new firmware a week ago or so, i am able to download it but when it reboots to do the install the file goes corrupt and wont install and tells me to try through kies. The other issue i am having as of right now is that i am not able to connect to kies via usb which will do the firmware upgrade. Want the latest updates but it is seriously giving me a major headache. Any help is greatly appreciated.
thanks in advance.
Did you try installing the drivers for the sgs3 from Samsung's site (for your computer), reboot your computer then try going thru kies?
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda premium
Kies never works for me, either. It's garbage anyhow, and there is no reason to install it.
Are you rooted? Do you have CWM or TWRP? Are you downloading the OTA over wifi?

No im not rooted...but CWM does pop up after my phone reboots to try to install, that is when i get the error message. tried doing OTA through wifi and carrier but doesnt work either way.
An ota from Mobilicity will fail on a Wind phone. You could possibly get around this by using mobile odin or maybe cwm. But i really dont know if its a good idea to try. The fw from each carrier would have to be very similar and i dont know what the differences really are.
If you do want to update via kies download the latest from samsung.com/kies but uninstall any previous versions an drivers first. Installing kies will also install drivers.
Alternatively you could download the full VLALH2 fw from sammobile.com/firmware and flash through odin or mobile odin.

Actually, you can use mobile odin as well. Cwm too im told, but i havent tried.
Ops problem im pretty sure is hes trying to apply a mobilicity ota to a wind phone.
But you are correct as to how it was intended to be used.

Word from members of xda-developers reveals that the update weighs in at a substantial 738MB.

You can also use mobile odin pro and enable everroot. If you maintain root, you can use goomanager from the market to install twrp recovery. Seems like there are a number of ways to do this, I just found this the easiest way.
I downloaded from samsungupdates sites and install de .tar file with mobile odin pro... and i kept root sou if u wanna be stock but keeping root i recommend you this way its easy!

So this can be used with Mobile Odin ?
And my phone is rooted so I can't update via the phone itself. This is my first android phone and I am not sure what to do in this instance. Do I have to unroot, update via phone, and then root again? Or is there a way to just update the device and root again without needing to unroot it to begin with?

I use Kies to upgrade to 4.1.2 from a 4.1.1 root device. I just put the phone to 100% charging, and launch the upate from Kies. It's a long process, there is one rather quick download, about a minute without any activities, a windows UAC message, and another very slow download (about 2hours), and finally, a firmware copy on phone and upgrading. After that, i root again using CF-autoroot. I don't wipe or unroot before, and don't loose data after.

You can't update via kies if you are rooted because your device status is modified and your binary is counted so you have many choice try mobile odin pro from playstore the best

Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk HD
Yes. Download the entire ROM for your region and then flash it using Mobile Odin Pro. You can also set the option to root the ROM after flash since when you flash a stock ROM you lose root. There are threads specific for Mobile Odin where you can get more details. All the best...

OTA is not possible with root, but you can update with Kies desktop even with a root phone, like i do. For me, it's the best choice, i have a branded Orange phone, and the 4.1.2 rom is the one provided by Orange, with their start/stop animation, wallpaper and system apps (TV/Deezer and so on). The only backdraw is that you must wait for your carrier to make the rom, the Orange France 4.1.2 came only last week. But finally it came, and i'm happy with the 4.1.2, no battery drain bug, i guess the exynos bug is patched, multi-window and notification toogle button editing. Not a revolution but a nice update.
Hello there I have a rooted and a soft moded build.prop galaxy note 2 with the Xposed framework added to it. And I was just wondering that now that my phone has a updated to 4.2.2 that you can get throw kias can I flash back to the stock Rom and get the update or do I have to wait for a Rom to be made with it.

Well you have a att model it is going to take a very very very very long time before you see an update. Just wait for a rom here it will be so much better and sooner than anything att will give you.

No you can't just update through kies.
You have to be on one of the stock ROMs supported by Samsung first for kies to recognize a starting point. And it is possible to get into a reboot loop coming from a custom ROM. After you flash the stock ROM using Odin After your phone reboots, pull the battery, put it back in, go to recovery and reset/factory reset/clear cache & data so your stock ROM starts out clean.
This will eliminate the boot loop possibility.
And frankly since you're going to have to do a stock ROM flash why not just get the newest release you are aiming for and just flash it with Odin that way you don't have to deal with kies !
This is your newest Bell release it is Android 4.1.2 so if you have a thing for 4.2.2 Samsung hasn't released it.

You can use kies to update from other rom too.
Open kies - tools - firmware upgrade and initialization
You need your Sr number to proceed, you can find in setting - about device or from back side of device under battery.
