No need to unroot, just wait for the rooted version of the ROM and flash that The rooted version of stock ROM is usually out the same day or a few days after the official realease.

If you update to L710VPLI3 using a rooted ROM do you also need to separately update the radios. Always been a bit confused with radios vs. software ROM. Does enhance LTE (which I use daily) come from software update or radio update.

You usually have to flash modems (aka radios) separatly, depends on the dev. Well, only saw one dev include it but he created a separate tool to flash modems that is linked below.
Seems that modems were not updated in this release and the LTE optimization is more a software fix. You find the latest modems here and here is the easiest way to flash without Odin.

So I gather that if I just flash any ROM that is based on new LI3 then I will have the upgrade enhancement regarding LTE. Great. I hate having to unroot or reflash stock recovery to take OTA. Thanks.

I don't see that there's even an update.zip that's been released. I wouldn't jump to conclusions just yet, might still be a modem update.

i havent recieved this yet its an ota update right? if i can get it soon ill pull the rom and upload a rooted version but still not recieved it =(

get ready to have all the bloatware re installed.
my gf has the epic 4g touch. it was stock rooted and the very last update a few days ago re installed all bloatware and went further ahead by disabling the option to disable some of the apps that previously could be uninstalled through application manager. also it took away root so i had to stock re root her phone.
if updates were just performance enhancements i would welcome them but, why do carriers always insist on pushing their crap into our phones??

So this is a update from LG8 or what ever

Go from 4.1.1 to 4.2.1 How to??

Hey guys, just bought this phone off craigslist today to upgrade from my LG Revolution. I've used roms with the Revo so I'm not a total stranger. I'm wondering how to upgrade to 4.2.1, my phone doesn't seem to get the OTA update, I downloaded the zip to flash and after I flashed it in CWM it the version didn't change under my system info.
I have the verizon version. thanks!

The OTA isn't out for the Toro, the Verizon version. I think you need to do a little reading before you accidentally damage your new phone flashing something not intended for it.

Yea, I haven't started flashing any roms yet, just trying to figure out what I need to be doing/cant' do
whats the latest version thats out and how do I get it?

Latest for toro is 4.1.2. You can flash a rooted stock version or try to get the OTA notification to show up.

I have 4.1.1 stock and if I click on update nothing happens.

Google has released the 4.2.1 binaries, so now every ROM baker and their brother can put out 4.2.1 ROMs; but. . . Verizon hasn't done it yet. Their latest official GNex ROM is 4.1.1 (so there's no point in looking for an OTA update).

Ah..so I technically should be able to flash those roms and be fine even though I'm on 4.1.1?

Official Tmo 4.1.2 rollout

Sammobile says Tmo has started the rollout for 4.1.2 on the sgh-t989 via Kies. I can't find anything on Tmo's site but sammobile has the Odin .tar file up. http://www.hotfile.com/dl/202091699/c92decf/T989UVMC6_T989TMBMC6_TMB.zip.html
*edit*
Now its finally official from T-Mobile.
"Beginning April 8, the Samsung Galaxy S II will have an optional software update to Android version 4.1.2/ Software T989UVMC6 via Samsung Kies only. This update changes the OS to Jelly Bean.
You can update in one way:
Manual download to T989UVMC6 If you want to update to T989UVMC6, you can update via Samsung Kies. Ensure you are on the latest version of Kies prior to attempting the update. See http://www.samsung.com/us/kies/ to confirm the version.".

Try rebooting the PC.
Make sure Kies isn't running.

Lmao.. All of you guys rushing to flash an unrooted stock ROM just to see something we all have already seem in custom ROMs for the last month or more.. Its hilarious. Especially since half of you will now start a thread asking how to root the new update.. Its an awesomely hilarious cycle.
Especially since in less than a day all of the custom twiz ROMs will be updated.. Lol.

I think people are just happy to have something that SHOULD be 100% stable. I've found one or two ROMS for 4.1.2 that have been 95% stable, and it's took some massaging on my part to make it work 99%. It'll be interesting to see how Samsung did 4.1.2 on our phones, so I'm down to download. I can rock stock for a little while

Ive been running CM 10.1 and will probably go back to it for the hotspot. I wanted stock for future use if I need it which I will debloat myself. A lot of people like rooted stock over custom roms because most custom roms have bugs and so does CM 10.1. And yes, it seems someone popping into the thread and lol'ing is also part of the humorous cycle.

So no multi window with jelly bean for us? Or is that just for 4.2.2

If you're running rooted stock you can just update and reroot. If you're on a custom rom you'll need to Odin back to stock.

4.3 OTA Warning- Know before you go

As you have no doubt noticed the 4.3 OTA has been started. One thing that the Galaxy s3 community has found is that when the update is applied through official means the bootloader gets updated as well.
When the new official bootloader is installed it prevents any downgrade to 4.1 and 4.2 based roms.
I've already learned that at least one person has been able to discover through trial and disappointment that this holds true for our devices well. Please consider carefully before you apply the official OTA as, at this point , it seems there is no going back to 4.1 based roms.
Me personally I am planning to wait for a de-Knoxed flashable ROM and modem before transitioning to 4.3.
Hopefully soon there will be work arounds developed so that we may be able to use the full software release and bootloader combination safely with all available roms, until then I'd think carefully before updating your software via official means.

It should happen on ota, odin and kies. An official update method with the official update files will install the bootloader if the pattern holds true to the gs3 crowd. I would be cautious until the dev crowd got their hands on it.

I backed up my rom with cwm and then updated through kies. after everything settled I used Odin to flash cwm. I wasn't able to successfully root and missed my setup so I restored my backup with cwm. I'm running stock deodexed md1. so far everything seems back to normal.

I definitely couldn't go back to stock 4.1.2 after 4.3. Doing a factory reset just made it hang on the tmobile logo. Flashing 4.1.2 through ODIN made it hang as well.

Everyone should wait for a custom version made by one of our devs if you truly care about having your bootloader unlocked. If you install Roms just avoid until our devs get their hands on it and release something.

It's kind of subtle and heavy handed at the same time. I'm just glad I follow the GS3 forum for my wife's phone. Otherwise I'd be stuck like a lot of people here. I love Tweaked and TrevE Mod tethering.
I was able to use a method from the GS3 forum to get wifi tethering running on the wife's phone (running 4.3 TW). I might flash mattlowry's deKnoxed stock rom for a bit and try to get tethering working tomorrow. I'll see if I can either use the methods and files from the GS3 forum linked below or tinker with the zip file from that threads op and see if there is anything simple to change and get it working.

I also updated my Note 2 with the OTA MK7 as soon as it was available, however I always kept a NANDROID backup of my favorite Custom Rom on my SD CARD (NoteS4_V6). As soon as the MK7 update settled in and I set it up the way I liked thats when I went ahead and Rooted it and added TWRP again, then I realized a couple of things, 1) being my incoming text was Buggy, I wouldn't receive them for a while after they were sent (NO BUENO), 2) being I wasn't able to use my Wifi tethering Hack any more, and thats the MAIN thing I need on my Note 2..!!!! So thats when I remembered I had my backup still stored on my SD CARD, I told my self that it wouldn't hurt to try, and i did. It booted back without a hitch, SUPER HAPPY AGAIN, my itch is back.. Not saying that the MK7 wasn't good, However my Custom Rom and Custom Kernel is clocking a whopping 23152 on AntuTu Benchmark. felling like Mc Donalds "Im Loving It"..!!!!! lololol. Good Luck everyone....

Hey C, if you happen to get the Trev wifi tethering to actually work (or even any tethering Hack) on the MK7 please let me know, cause I tried serval different versions to no avail, this is why i reverted back to my previous Rom I had Backed up and was fortunate to flash back to.

Good advice, I am gonna wait too. However, the new UCMK7 modem rocks. Improved my reception and battery significantly. Totally solved my need to flash something new. I'll stick with 4.12 for now.

Did you just flash it in recovery?

It has unrooted my phone.

I've never seen an official AT&T stock 4.3 ROM. I know AT&T released 4.3 as an OTA update but don't think they released a full ROM.

this two links provide 4.3 stock updates and developer @designgears pulled the official or the 4.3 update/firmware from AT&T, hope that can answer your question

Aren't those are re-packaged ROMs rather than being a complete 4.3 ROM similar to Rogers/Bell/Telus ROMs? To install, you have to Odin back to a stock rom or TW-based ROM.

am sure there is an official firmware from at&t and its hidden in this threads or somewhere on the net plus i was on a 4.1.2 stock, i dont like leaks just the official cleaned out so i did not have any problems with bootloaders/updating etc....... did not bother to use odin just flashed with CMW and everything worked
edit: devs need the official firmware from AT&T to work on , without it they have nothing (assuming you already know that)

AT&T did not release an official Odin tar for 4.1.2 or 4.3 it would be great if they did but they haven't and don't have any plans to do so.
Even without the tar files I think our developers have done a great job.

Agreed. The devs worked directly from the OTA. They never had the official firmware, as they all will tell you. You're not going to find it here or anywhere on the net.

I understand the devs had to re-create the ROM. My point was that these aren't stock, but they are certainly good to have around

AT&T released official for 4.1.2 , dont know what happned with 4.3 but blame Samsung cuz after 4.1.1 S3's update, updates went down from there ........4.1.2 update was great, 4.3 being a WTF and no 4.2.2 .........but am optimistic that 4.4 is coming for S3's and never will CM/AOKP/PARANOID roms forsake the S3 it will have 5+ versions

So since you allege AT&T released official firmware for 4.1.2(some other way than OTA) obviously my search skills aren't what they should be. Can you provide a link to backup your allegations?
Whether or not we get updates has little to do with Samsung and more to do with the service provider, and it is the service provider whom determines if we get an official copy released.
My thought is that AT&T is attempting to discourage us from customizing our devices. Some people have no business customizing anything and that can cause them to attempt to return their device under warranty. When the owner was the cause of the device failure that costs the provider money...

Btw I want to apologize to the OP here is a link to some roms that are pre rooted they're very close to stock with only minor differences mostly in its capabilities and some are debloated. These will get you rooted for sure, remove knox and should do what you want. I like the one from loserskater. This link below works only on the AT&T SGH-I747.
