I just got my new Note 2 (AT&T) and it comes with Adroid 4.1.1. I plan to root it and flash a custom rom but should I first update it to the latest version of Android? If so, how do I do that exactly? I used the check for updates feature but it said my AT&T software was up to date. I don't think it was checking the OS version though.
If u plan on flashing a new rom there is no need to update to 4.1.2
Just root and flash whichever rom u want.

OK, thanks. I wasn't sure if the rom image flashed on top of the OS or if it included all ofthe OS. Now I understand.

I just bought a galaxy nexus from a guy on craigslist. He had prior to me getting it rooted the phone and installed cm9-20120409-unofficial-toro.
I am trying to upgrade to jellybean and I need my build number however it is showing on the about phone screen as IMM76D, however that is a GSM model number and this a verizon phone. Therefore I think it is just because the rom was created on that build phone. He did not create a stock rom backup before installing the rom therefore I had no way to revert back to stock atm.
Is that a correct assumption?
Is there another way to find out my build?
If not do you have any advice on what my next step in upgrading to jellybean would be?
It doesn't matter what build it currently is. If you want a JB ROM, grab one in the Dev section and flash it.

Awesome thanks for the quick responses!
I noticed there is a OTA update for my AT&T Note 2 SGH-i317, but I have rooted it in the past using Oden. Unfortunately, I have deleted some of the bloatware, so how can I install the update if the original files are gone? I've only rooted the one time, so I am kinda new to this. Could someone walk me through the process? Thanks!
I'd you4e rooted then you do not want to accept the ota update. Just wait until the rom developer incorporates the updates in their rom.

Thanks. I have only rooted once, so I am quite the noob. Answer me this please. I used cf root does that change anything?
Look in the development section for the rom thread posted by NunHugger.
He has the complete rom already rooted for download.
It won't be long before we have many more to choose from I'd suspect. ..g

Thanks! So, download the appropriate ROM and use Oden to flash it? Sorry, very new to this. I am technical, just new to phone kernel flashing.

Most likely you need to update the bootloader. There should be a custom recovery flashable package that let's you update it, or an ODIN-flashable package. Don't have links right now, sadly, but I'll post them once I find them.

Dlk4 is that updated one
If you're trying to flssh a rom from our forum, you'll need to edit the updater-script. If you pick a rom from atts forum I bet it'll flash fine.

Hi,
I have a AT&T galaxy s3. It always takes forever to get a software upgrade.
I am wondering if I can upgrade the android system to the latest version whenever it comes out if I flash the s3 rom to the original stock rom (from the official android website, not third party rom).
If yes, how I can do that? Can anyone give me a link of the tutorial about how to flash back to the official android stock rom?
Appreciate!

Here is everything you need. Don't forget to read and most importantly, don't forget to update bootloader if your flashing past 4.1.2

I still can't figure this out. I tried flashing modems, bootloaders, and no matter what I end up with the Status 7 error when trying to flash a recent CM nightly or RC.
Are those stock ROMs in the link up to date?
Can someone provide me with the link to download the stock 4.3 please.
Also, if I upgrade from the stock tar I wont be able to use custom Roms anymore correct? Or is there a way now to do so.
Tbh I'm a flash aholic and spend a lot of time messing with my phone. I love being able to have the latest software etc.. But I've come to a point where I just want it to work. Next device will be a nexus if I want updated software.
Thanks!!

Thanks friendly friend!!
Does it include boot loader, baseband everything. An untouched tar? Also do I have to be on stock 4.2.2 to Odin or can I just Odin on any ROM?

Does not have "Settings". No settings Icon nor does the Settings Icon in the taskbar work either.
