if you really want to update just download either the ODIN tar thats in this forum or go to rootz and download the flashable zip that whitheawkx made.
Or you can download Samsung Kies (not kies air, actual kies) as you will need it on the 11th for the ICS update.
Edit: nvm somehow missed you saying rooted

would it worth it??? or should I just wait??
Justananomaly,
If I download Samsung Kies....then what do I do...will it automatically update?? and then I will be ready for ICS....or should I just go back to Stock.....

Nvm about Kies since you are rooted. Maintenance update will unroot you anyways youll have to use Odin to flash it then unroot unless you want to flash it and stay unrooted and stock until the 11th for ICS and yes kies will ask you to update on the 11th after plugging your phone in.

Justananomaly,
Ok,,,,I guess I should go back to unrooted and stock till the 11th.
If I go back to unrooted and stock, will I loose all my data......and is there a FAQ or step my step to go back to stock
or when I get this update will this unroot me and just wait till the the 11th.
I would like to back to stock but keep all my data....how do I do this...I see outdated FAQ's, etc....anyinformation will be greatly appreciated.

Not sure if you will lose your data or not, most likely on the 11th you will anyways since it's an OS update. The maintenance update didn't wipe my data but did unroot me. But thats because I was on stock just rooted.

OK...well ihave all my data backed up....so I could just sit back and relax and let T-MO do all the updates and when done then I can unroot again.....and add what Mod I want....does this sound correct?

yes kies resets your phone to stock as in out-of the-box if u choose to go back to stock i did it to my SGSII in order to get the UVLDE and lose everything... good thing i made a backup on my PC but remember that when u flash a new rom even a stock it wipes your data thats why is always recommended to make a nandroid backup. now im just sitting here... waiting for my ICS... no root till then...
edit: that is if you really dont want to use odin wich is recommended. check here for more info: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1332103 . good luck
ok...now how do I do a nandroid backup??? I used titatium backup but please tell me more about nandroid...

Nandroid is built into clockworkmod recovery. It backs up your entire partition so it's basically like having a full backup image of everything, apps, ROM, data, everything the way it is. If you just want apps backed up, and not your entire phone, sick with titanium.

OK...now I got it. I do have clockworkmod recovery and titianium...will backup both and save to my pc and google drive.... then I will update to the maintance mod and will wait for ICS....thanks for your help

Just stay rooted and whatever you are now. Chances are a dev will drop a stock rooted clockwork flashable zip of the update the day of. It will probably deodexed and most importantly carrierIQ removed.

but i'm on DDW2.7... no problem if upgrade via kies? i'm asking because i bricked a samsung vibrant t959 using kies with a custom rom :'(
Nighthawk's Tapatalk
I was replying to the OP whom said he was on stock rooted. I was also running stock rooted with bloat frozen. I just unfreezed, delete dalvic/cache and rebooted. Then flashed via kies, rerooted, then refroze the bloat. It's probably different/cause problems if you are running a custom ROM prior to upgrading via kies. Hope this info helps...
Ok so I'm currently on Gingerbread 2.3.6. My phone is rooted. I AM NOT USING ANY SORT OF ROM. I am on the stock T-mobile rom.
The only programs I have installed on it are Titanium backup. I have performed a backup using nandroid as well as TB.
My question to you all is: Is it safe to update to the OFFICIAL ICS when T-Mo rolls out with it on June 11th?
If so, do I have to unroot? Or can I just run the update when I hook up my phone and open KIES?
Help!
If you're running the stock ROM, you should be able to update without issue. You will almost certainly lose root, though. I'm hoping it only takes a day or so for someone to bang out a rooted, deodexed, etc. stock ICS ROM once the update is released.

You may need to flash the stock recovery via odin if you have CWM installed to update to ics

Install that lastest update b4 u update to ics. The update b4 ics is to prevent your phone from bricking when going thru the update process to ics.

Ok but will I need to revert back to anything? Like i said in my original post, I havent loaded any custom ROMS. I've only rooted the phone via ODIN.
It is okay to be rooted, but what Mr Knitty is asking is are you on the UVLDE build of gingerbread or the KL1? You need to be on the newer, updated UVLDE.

Install kies on the pc, plug your phone in, and accept the update. Im not positive, but i think you need to be on stock recovery too.

what exactly happens when you lose root? is it JUST that apps like titaniumbackup won't function as they won't have root access?

I tried connecting my phone to Kies after rooting and it says that a firmware update isn't supported on my device. In order for me to do anything in that regard, I'd have to unroot and then upgrade. If I were you, I'd just wait until Tmo pushes out the ICS update and when someone puts the rooted version out just install it. It will save you the trouble of having to unroot and root again just to get what your phone is already capable of getting via root.
Is there a thread for upgrading from a modded rom, like Juggernaut? Searched, but then again my eyes aren't the greatest. If I need the UVLDE update, how would I go about not bricking during such process? Sorry to intrude, just thought this was the closest thread to ask.

Theres a thread dedicated specifically to flashing the update. That thread covers every possible scenario. Look for the words flash, UVLDE, how to, and update in the titile. Its plain as day.
I think I got answer on my question in here.....
I didn't have to change back to stock recovery to update or unroot.
If on stock just flash the root file again through Odin and your good to go.
If your on a custom GB ROM. Just flash through Odin instead of Kies. Here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1682955
Tmobile T989UVLDE
If coming from a leaked custom ICS ROM. I would use the super wipe and cache wipe. Then flash through Odin.
Of course back up everything with your preferred method.

Wait, so this flashes updated stock, but updated? I would lose my current rom setup?
*EDIT*-Nevermind, found what I was looking for. Just going to go back to stock, and wait it out.

dont worry
My phone its rooted just stock just to be able to use good apps like titanium addfree etc etc and when i update laat week did not gave me a problem so im thinking if u have stock rom just rooted i dont see a problem plus everyone here at xda wont let u down...trust me
What I would do, is just wait like 2 or 3 more days so someone can come out with a completely stock ICS. That way you don't have to worry about losing root

Yes use EK02 Odin OC from sfhub its pure clean then OTA to EL29. Some will say:
hey flash EL29 OC is faster whatever blah blah, but is not clean and nor faster the OTA is just 24MB, and no need to download a 250+ file connect to PC and flash is logical.
EK02 is about 190-250MB can't remember but it's necessary and is NOT ROOTED is PURE STOCK

I have a rooted stock rom, and I updated using the lg8 modem files found here. However, my build is still at LF2, and I am not sure what to flash to fix it. I am new to this, and not sure what is flashed via CWM and which is flashed via ODIN.
Would it just be easier to put on a rom with the updates already in it (Phantom, etc)?
Thanks.
Just this. Its made for blazer, works perfect on stock. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1817460 flash in cwm. Takes 2 seconds.

He already has the lg8 modem what else is needed from the update? To take the official update he needs to downgrade the baseband to LF9 or LG2 not sure what's hes on as LF2 doesn't exist. Then take the official. Kinda stupid to downgrade and go through the hassle if he already has the lg8 baseband. Not to mention having to reroot and fix the crippled search after he takes the official updates. Figured he was in a good place where he was at and might as well just hush the update nag.
my wifes eg4t has asked her to update to the above twice now and neither has worked...it just sits at the Android with the yellow triangle with the ! insode of it for hours until i pull the battery. her phone is running stock, rooted with a custom recovery...could this be why the flash wont take!?!?

Do you mean FH13? The reason it isn't taking the update is because it has a custom recovery. The device must have stock recovery, and in my experience, no removed stock apps if running stock w/root.

You can just save the hassle of all this stock recovery if you want... by using this one click (non rooted) update to FH13
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1835033
You should be able to find the complete one click odin method that does not do a data wipe. So of you upgraded to fh13 and want to go back to ff18. Then find the one click no data wipe and that may do it. If you want tl go back to el29 do the same thing. However going back from ics to without a data wipe could prove faulty. But you could odin back to ff18 then do a titanium back up to back up all apps and data. Then do a complete odin based wipe back to el29 then try and restore via titanium. That may give you the all around solution you guys are looking for. But it's all theoretical have not tried this exact method myself but should work.

Is FH13 being pushed by Samsung or something? I was wondering why the notification looked a bit different from previous ota's then I noticed the update is coming from the update Samsung software section and not the update firmware like in the past. Just curious since that option never gave us an update before lol
