I just tried to update my ICS Galaxy S2 to JB 4.1 through Samsung Kies, and the update process took a dump on me and I spent the better part of the last two hours getting the phone up and running again. The phone is rooted, and the recovery installed is Clockworkmod touch. My battery was right at about 51% when I started, so it may have had something to do with it im not sure. Anybody successfully updated? If so can you please share your story? Thanks.
No problems for me, but I returned everything to stock first. Stock recovery included. Might've been your issue

I had no problem updating a few days ago. Was running stock rooted ICS with CWM non-touch recovery. It took close to 2 1/2 hours including updating Kies, but it worked fine. My battery was probably closer to 85% (and I have a big aftermarket battery).
I did a few days back also. No problems when I ran it for the day.
Officially, I think the battery should be at 80% for Kies to let you update, but that is not important now.
My first attempt bricked the phone, I tried taking it to a third PC for the emergency recovery and it did not work on that PC at all.
I got a replacement phone instead of trying again, but on the 3rd and final PC it worked fine.
The first 2 PCs had windows XP while the final was W7, I don't think windows was the issue, but on the first 2 I did sometimes have issues detecting the phone, so I unplugged and plugged it back in a few times for it to connect. I think that was the key to the problem.
On the final machine it connected fine first time and every time. I still don't know why this happened. I have 2 more phones to update and am wondering if I should try the first 2 machines again or play it safe and use the one that worked?
Good luck.
hi,
for those of you who have stock rooted ics, after updating to JB, did it stay rooted?

You will lose root, but it's very easy to re-root. I rooted four T989s in about ten minutes.
Using kies, went to update my wife's phone the other day with it having like 20% battery and it gave me an error message before starting saying my battery was to low. When it came to my rooted phone I used Odin and lost root. It was pretty easy for me to root it back and start installing custom ROMs.

Just did it today and it worked fine. Had to reinstall a newer version of Java for Kies to upgrade itself properly, but once I did that it was smooth sailing.
Hi all,
now please don't laugh: what exactly is the advantage of getting JB over ICS?
thanks.

I managed to soft brick my phone on the first attempt to use kies. Fortunately, the phone was sick on Odin download mode. I used Odin too flash a new ics image and the second time, the kies to 4.1.2 worked just fine. My original OS version was ics from the tm ota update on a new phone.

I had mine rooted with TWRP, but with stock radio and it upgraded without problems.

There are a bunch of improvements, they took out a lot of bloatware and fixed a bunch of glitches so JB is a lot faster and smoother than ICS. Also they brought back some features that were taken out of ICS like a Contacts button in the phone (I never understood why they took it out in the 1st place)...

Will the stock jb from TMobile work on my Telus 989?

I was on a rooted Stock ICS and I used Kies for the update. It was successful, but of course I lost root. Since then the phone has been faster, smoother and has better battery life. I still have not manged to re-root using either CWM nor TWRP, even after re-flashing the stock JB via ODIN, (I am still working on this).

think again.
Just to be safe you should always odin back to the last stock rom before doing an update through kies. You dont have to but I get nothing but pasper weights if I dont. I never had a problem with kies with a completly stock phone though. And I think thje batt is 80% but I always charge it to 100% just in case.
Put the wrong firmware on my phone and don’t have a backup. i have a gt-n7105 and put the gt-n7100 on it not nice. Need the stock firmware to clean it up. been to Sam’s mobile and to hotfile but the links are broken and will only do half a download been trying for 4 days and on different computers don’t know what the go is there. So does anyone have the stock Rom they could put on drop box or something other than hotfile mines the international hong kong version but anything will do long as its latest gt-n7105
Do you use TWRP? IF you have a backup of your original ROM which you should because everyone makes a backup of their original ROM after Rooting then just Flash the latest TWRP Recovery via Odin (get the latest from their site) and restore your oldest backup with ROOT. Your original ROM. Should fix the problem. Don't panic, this happened to me before, I managed to find a Odin flash-able UK Version and just flashed it.
Never flash N7100 Roms on your N7105

my device is Samsung Galaxy Note II (GT-7100)
GT-N7100ZBDXSG
for (XSG region)
i installed CyanogenMod on my device and i need my original firmware back PLEASE HELP!!
i can't get back my contacts because i backed up my data using Kies and CyanogenMod won't work with Kies
uploaded has been taken down and it will need some time before they are able to reupload all the files to another site. perhaps you could ask around t see if anyone has the rom that you are looking for?

Yeah if anyone has this rom Please share the link here
You can get your phone on original stock firmware using kies. Install kies, go tools, emergency firmware recovery. Then just follow steps. This will download and install Samsung's stock firmware to your phone. Remember to back up your data!
Hope this helps

I have one of the test phones for the s4 mini and it doesn't allow updates via kies but in the past I've been able to load the stock firmware via odin. does anybody know where I can download the stock? thanks in advance
Have you tried www.sammobile.com/firmware?
Our model isn't listed there. I believe someone posted the stock rom on here I'll see if I can find it.

Stock ROM for SCH-I435 Samsung Galaxy S4 mini. I only have 14 days on this site where the file is stored, had to pay $15 for an account cuz the download was so slow it was painful. I have the file safely at home now, and have flashed my bricked Verizon S4 mini back to like new stock. I bricked it with rooting on Towel root, or maybe kingroot, it was over a year ago, then I removed some of the wrong system files and it wouldn't boot anymore. Now it is stock 4.4.2, baseband I435VRUBOH3 BUILD # KOT49H.I435VRUBOH3 Configuration version B13.SAM.SCHI435.0 The phone hardware version is I435.05 . The link below is a full system image ready to flash with Odin, and I can atest to it works well. Put your phone in Airplane mode as soon as it comes up to prevent any OTA updates. The link is good until 5/20/17.

Need this please.
I have it somewhere. I'm inanely busy at the moment. I'll try to remember to check in here and put it on something like onedrive. I can't get to it this week.
Well I give up... I have finally done something that I can not fix. I can normally google and find my own answers and I never have to ask anyone but this time is different.
I have the I317 Note 2, Everything was fine, I was running a stock rom earlier this week and the phone started acting funny. So I though screw it, Ill just go back to stock. So i downloaded.KIES_HOME_I317UCALJ2_I317ATTALJ2_215287_REV04_user_low_ship.tar and used Odin to flash the stock firmware. I DID do a full wipe before I went back to stock. It worked fine for 2 days. It kept wanting to download an update. So it did. When it restarted from the update that the phone downloaded it got stuck on the Samsung screen.
I thought no big deal, I will just reflash the stock firmware and start again... FAIL same thing happened. It wont get past the Samsung screen even after leaving it on that screen for a hour. So then I tried to get into recovery... it wont let me.Then I reinstalled the stock rom and waited for boot, then I flashed CWM and tried to get in to recovery that way. No luck.
I feel like I need to do a wipe and start all over but I cant figure out how to do a full wipe without recovery. There has got to be something easy that I am missing but I cant figure it out. I will keep on searching with hope that someone tells me what I am doing wrong or what to do.
THANKS
If its still able to go into download mode and odin recognizes the device your good just be patient and download the correct firmware.

There are some issues with the OTA update from LJ2 to MH3, which it appears you still have sitting on your phone. You can try booting recovery and clearing cache - that should get rid of the OTA file.
The thread below has some information on how to update from LJ2 up through MH3 and then MK6. It's intended for those who already have the MK6 bootloader - if you don't already have that or want that, you'll want to stop at MH3 and consider your options.

Do you know did I use the correct firmware? I have had to run Odin a couple of times before but its a no go this time... I can not get into recovery. Even if I run Odin now with TWRP and restart it still wont let me into recovery... Can I use Odin to to a full wipe?
Were you on 4.3 previously? Via OTA?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
yes I did upgrade to 4.3 when it came available then I went to a custom rom. Then full wiped and downloaded what I thought was a stock rom and here I am.
Are you saying I need to download the 4.3 stock firmware and that is my issue. What i downloaded was from September 2013
For a (hopefully) quick solution, see post #2 here, specifically the param/tz file:

That should get your access to recovery back and allow the mh3 ota to complete.

WOW that worked!! I just got my phone into Recovery for the first time in over 24hrs now! I did a full wipe and now I am going to try and reinstall the factory rom that I have. Unless you tell me something different...
Thank you very much, I dont understand it but so happy to have a different screen!
Which factory rom? Where are you ultimately looking to get to?
100% back up and running! Thank you again

One that would work.... LOL I really dont have a preference other then I did not care for 4.3 I ended up with 4.1.1 and I couldn't be more happy. If they ever get 4.4 I would try that.
Its funny 4yrs ago I had the Sprint Evo. I changed roms more often then I changed shirts it seamed. I never had the issues or anything like what I ran into yesterday. I was so careless just trying every rom that was released. Because of that I will always remember the EVO as my favorite phone.
Those were simpler times...
I assume you want root and know how to get it.
Since you have the mk6 bootloader you will need to avoid odin flashing any packages that contain bootloaders in the future. See my mk6 thread for details.
If you want to get to 4.1.2 there are rooted cwm packages for ma4, mc3, and mh3 available. Wherever you end up, I recommend freezing the AT&T Software Update apk from within Titanium Backup or equivalent to ensure that you don't get a forced ota update at some point in the future.
