I've got an AT&T Note II that had Clean Rom on it, but I really wanted to get 4.3. Finally heard that the official OTA had been released about a week ago (mid December), so had the bright to return my phone to stock and do the OTA. Returned the phone to stock (4.1.1) and checked for updates...was very excited that an update was discovered and downloaded. But when all was said and done, it was the 4.1.2, not the 4.3 I expected. I've tried to again check for updates, but my phone tells me I have the "most current version". Phone is no longer rooted...Kies is no help..tells me I can't update this device via kies.
What am I missing here????? I'm pretty much a noob, though have tried a few custom roms. Can't say I'm particularly adventurous...I thought if I could at least get 4.3 I'd be REASONABLY current with the roms.
Thx much!!!

Download the 4.3 file or use Keis, I think it released.

Thx...but Kies won't allow the update. If I could find the native 4.3 file, I'd flash it it. I just flashed the leaked 4.3 for sgh-i317 from 2 months ago, so I now have "a" 4.3...just not the final official one. Maybe that's the best I can do for now.
Thx anyway!

All I've been able to find is the leaked version from October... which I'm using. But it's not the final. Best I can tell is the final is I317UCUBMK6 and I've not been able to come up with anything on it. But the for trying.

You might have to downgrade from leaked 4.3 to 4.1.2 and then use the MA4 to MK6 file through ODIN.

I've been unable to locate the OFFICIAL version of ics for the a100. I cant receive the ota because I have the leaked rom already. Well I've got flex so that should sum it up. Reverting back to HC was a failure and only led me to bricking my device. Long story short I'm using teamwin's recovery and I am fully rooted. Just looking for the official ota and not the leaked ics...
Is there such thing?
I have been reading dozens of posts here, and accoding to it I think there is no oficial ICS because what they're pushing is and update/upgrade, not a full ROM.
So, if you want to do it manually, try a newer leaked one, or a stock one. I don´t know which one will work for you since I´m in the process to try one after another myself. At the moment, I gave up of trying GEN2 and switched to GEN1.

um...that isn't exactly factual AT ALL...
The STOCK ROM posted in the devs section is the OTA that was delivered to some tablets earlier last week. Both build numbers and image numbers have matched up. Now i'm not sure what would make this a "complete" rom to you...but a couple of things are missing from the ACER ICS that some were looking for:
ie...facelock...acer ring (which isn't even ics related per se)...
The rom that everyone is using is THE STOCK rom....not a LEAKED INCOMPLETE rom...
Well I wanted the updated rom.. was hoping someone mined it from their device with everything already on it. I'll continue to wait I suppose. Flex rom is beautiful and would probably switch back right after anyways...since I got you guys here..know of any other custom roms?

.... Read Cheeb's response again. The version posted in the developer's section (and if you search for longer than a few minutes in the dev section, you can find multiple locations to download it from) IS the updated version, that came from people's tablets.
If you wanted an actual image to flash using fastboot, etc... I guess you could build yourself one. *shrug*

If I´m wrong, why every ROM I downloaded and/or captured from my OTA´s is different? Aren´t they giving us differential upgrades?
The only ROM we can so call official would be a full ROM.

I see the last thread on this topic is 2 months old. Has anyone heard if 4.0.4 is official or not? I'm stock and unrooted and have a feeling that if I open Pandora's box, the official update will come out soon after.

There are two VZW 4.0.4s, both are "leaked". The most recent one is believed to be the official release candidate, it has been found running on some store display units.

There was another 4.0.4 leak that never went out widespread. You're gonna have to still wait for it if you want it OTA.
Hi,
I am from India and using Gnex ("yakju") unlocked phone with JB 4.1.1 version. I am planning to upgrade my phone with 4.1.2 build since it is released. But the OTA update on my phone does not show any new version and still says "Phone is up to date".
Can someone please suggest me what could be the reason here.
Thanks a lot for your time.
Bhupinder
First, your location really has nothing to do with the OTA. If you're running yakju or takju, the software update will come to you quickly regardless of where you happen to live at that time.
As far as the 4.1.2 OTA goes, very very very few people are actually seeing it. I find it hard to believe that its even rolling out officially yet. If you're anxious for 4.1.2 you can flash the stock image, which is available. Otherwise, just wait for it to show up and notify you that it's ready to download. It will come, there's nothing special you need to do.
Thanks a lot for clearing my doubts. I was under the impression that 4.1.2 is released via OTA.
And surely I will wait for the release to be available by Google.

Not everyone is looking at YOUR question. Have some respect/patience. There are threads guiding how to flash a different firmware version all over the net using Odin, in the hour you waited for a response, you could have easily used Google to find your solution.
Now you may have an issue about Knox, but since you are going from 4.4 to 4.3 (both a knox bootloader) i don't think there will be any issues.
If you have a custom recovery, just flash a 4.3 ROM
If not, use Odin to flash the 4.3 official firmware package.
With the information i provided you, you should easily be able to achieve what you need to do via Google search.

Are you sure the 4.4 to 4.3 thing works? I've been using 4.2 on my S4 (I9500) all along, and recently upgraded to 4.4. I strongly dislike KitKat and would ideally like to go back to 4.2, but if there's no way of doing so, 4.3 would be fine.

I have not tried it myself. It was just speculation since they are both knox bootloaders. The worst that will happen is Odin will say it failed OR your Knox will be tripped (which i see highly unlikely as knox detects changes from what "should" be there)

Thanks for the help. There were some people who said that it's impossible to go back to 4.2.2 from 4.4.2 and some that said you can't even go back to 4.3, but then others that said it is possible. I tried a number of different ROMs and they didn't boot at all. Then I tried Omega ROM v14.1 (Android 4.2.2), and that works brilliantly now.
Here's the thread for it from this forum: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2232887. Only seems to be for Samsung Galaxy devices at this point.
It is an unbloated TW ROM (actually allows you to choose which Google and Samsung apps to install during a custom install process that begins when you flash it). It's faster than all my previous versions of Android, and obviously takes up less space.
Annoying that not everything works and that it took such a long time to get a successful installation, but at least I've found a ROM that has what I was looking for.

Yup but that is a custom ROM and with proper recovery you can go down to 4.2.2 but when we speak of Stock Samy Firmware and Odin it is imposible i have tested it. And Omega is great but still Custom hehehehe

Oh yeah, I became aware of that very early on during my search. All the ROMs I've been trying to get working have been custom and Omega is the only one that's actually booted.
I'm just glad I found something that looks like my old TW 4.2.2. Don't really mind whether or not it's custom. It is a shame that you can't go back to older official Samsung firmware once you've updated though. What do you think the reason for that is?
Samsung's "control" issue
Hey guys so I decide to get the SGH-147 AT&T S3 off of ebay for MetroPCS which enabled me to get a 2 year squaretrade warranty. After looking back at it now, I feel it might have been a bad idea since Metro has a MIR 349.99 deal for their S3 version which would mean easier android update since it would be on Metro servers if I'm not mistaken. Anyway I can't return the ebay phone now unless there is some software or hardware problems within 30 days
So my problem
I am stuck on 4.1.1 on Kies and when I check for update, because the phone is based on AT&T servers, it won't work since I'm on Metro. I wanted to see if there is anyway for me to update my phone to 4.3 which is the current version. Although, I've heard some people have 4.3 problems?
If that's not advisable, could y'all tell me how I could atleast get to Android 4.1.2? Also is there a 4.4 update in the works?
I just got the phone today and would like to be running on something better than 4.1.1
should I flash the AT&T phone to a MetroPCS ROM lol, if any of those are actually available, or if I were to flash, should I flash it to Tmobile?

There are numerous options. The best depends on your choice. I recently rooted my AT&T phone and installed Cyanogenmod 10.2, based on android 4.3. Check it out. It is super cool.

Lets say I do it and I find out my singal or some issues I can't stand arise, can I reflash down to 4.1.1?
Btw any links to a stock 4.1.2 ROM? And do the battery on these phones run longer with newer Android flavors. The S3 battery I have is atrocious
AT&T 4.1.2 and 4.3 update is officially only available via OTA. But this requires being on the AT&T network. The are zip files available on XDA to get these updates but I strongly suggest you read up on things first.
