[Q] SM-T211 software update 12-2-13???

Hey guys and gals,
Has anyone got notified about a software update for the SM-T211today? I'm running the pre rooted Odin ROM and was wondering if anyone knows what's in the New update? Did we get kit kat?
Thanks.

Bump bump!
The file size is 118.92mb and it keeps notifying me about a software update. I want to update, but don't want to lose root. Anyone know what this update entails?

This update is really good.. Now my Tab 3 (SM-T211) is so smooth and transparent status bar has been improved a lot.. I got that ota update which is about 84MB (Indian 4.1.2 Firmware)
Hopefully, we will get KitKat 4.4 for Tab 3 (T211 model) soon..

Anyone got stock kernel for t211 ?

Dont worry about root. Without pre rooted in thread tab 3 7 Android development you can see about rooting

Quick Question!
i have 4.1.2 in my galaxy tab 3 T211, is it the latest firmware release? please confirm

Just to confirm, if we are pre rooted with odin, and if we do the update, will we loose root?
UPDATE: I went ahead and did the update. I DID LOOSE ROOT, but the device seems to respond much quicker.

Yes,i just lost my root, starting from zero now

[Q] Stay On 4.4 Or Upgrade?

So LG announced the G3 will get updated to L soon, but i am rooted and have xposed installer on there. I use it for stuff like GEL settings and Snapchat tweaks. If i upgrade to L, will i regret it or are there alternatives to xposed?

I upgraded already to Lollipop. Before that I didnt use root or anything . I dont need it . but to be honest this first update of Lollipop is not something awesome . just some graphic enhanchements, add user function , notifications in the lockscreen ( ok thats cool ) . More Lollipop updates will follow with more awesome stuff on it . But now I dont know if it worth it for you to lose your root etc . I read somewhere though that they are working for rooting the lollipop and will be available during the day .

Go for Lollipop:
- ART vs Dalvik (much faster - 1.4 GB Ram free)
- Notification from Lockscreen
- User management
- Smoother ( 0 lag - even with facebook that needs a octa-core 5.0 Ghz CPU to send a message )
- Material Design
Also if you want to wait usually LG will land several builds in the next month with updates but for the moment its as good as it gets.

Update bro! Lollipop is amazing!!

Need root imo to change down DPI to 530. I can't stand the cartoonish huge interface otherwise which wastes the 2k screen.

HAHA

I would say that there is no need to upgrade to L right now. I suspect that LG wanted to get out 5.0 really quick and the LG UI is not yet ready for the material look of 5.0, so most likely another major update after this one will come in a few months. At that time I expect the LG UI will be better integrated with the feel and look of 5.0.
Aside from that there could be some hidden bug gems that I would like to avoid, so I will let others test this build before I update to it. Don't know if this makes sense to some of you but this is how I see things.

I upgraded to lollipop and i won't go back to kitkat..upgrade to A20 and you will see how smooth lollipop is ..the thing i liked most that you can add lg stock widgets to third launchers ..and when you install google now launcher it looks like nexus 6 launcher

I think this thread would fit better at the Q&A section.
Anyway, the only thing that could stop you from updating is xposed framework. For everything else, it's worth.

Bump! works on Lolipop?

Noob question here :fingers-crossed: Would I have to un-root to upgrade to Lollipop? If not, is un-rooting recommended before upgrading?
I've got my device behaving and performing to my satisfaction right now and I was just wondering what re-investment of time would I have to make to get to Lollipop?

Wow go easy on lollipop. Any way think twise before you go there.
Perhaps check S3v3ns thread androidnow 3.0 lollipop 20A. Dont flash that lollipop ota. Use some custom made lollipop so that you dont get stuck in lollipop land for good.

Ok. So because I'm rooted, I should look to upgrade only using some sort of a custom packaged version of Lollipop from the forums here?
I'm sorry, I'm an old iPhone user and the process is to unjailbreak, upgrade and then jailbreak again.
Sorry again for asking silly questions

When going to lollipop the official way.. Ota. For now it is a never go back if you are disapointed with that rom. Once there.. Stuck there.
But if its not allready solved i think there are plenty of hackers aking to crack that nut.

So wait for that thread with the Lollipop update to show up here ?

Where does one get Lollipop from, after it's officially released? Since ota for rooted users is a no no?

Just hang around on the forum and some kind contributor will allways share latest lollipop version.
Othervise there is guides how to extract the official updates (kdz) and make it harmles to flash.
Latest lollipop is as of now ver 20A and there is at least two rom cooks witch have released lollipop for twrp flashing.
Read the threads. Be observant if you try to go back to kitkat. You have to flash the old modem in that case.

At a file server.
Look in Dev thread. As I said before latest version is 20A. That should be sufficient info. You must read a lot before you do any thing stupid.. Othervise you are joining a russian roulette..

How can I root the Zenfone 2?

Hey guys, I have the 550ML (which for some reason is showing as the z00AD for XDA). Is it possible to root it? I haven't rooted a phone in awhile, and wanted to know if there is a universal lollipop root or do I have to wait for something down the line.

Also, you are one of the luck few to get it so early. People around the globe are still waiting, hold on for a little while and things will start popping up here.

I am waiting with my asus zenfone2 (ze551ml).... searching over n over... I wish devs will find a way for us... best of luck..

Flashing the pre-rooted rom isn't a custom rom...
I have my bootloader unlocked so this may affect things too but I just reflash the last pre-rooted rom then update over OTA. Never had a bootloop problem.
So saying it is generally advised to remove root/xposed and busybox, anything that alters the system image really, before doing an OTA update..
