Hi.
I live in UAE and purchased my Note2 in UAE as well but i never got kitkat update. so I checked and realized that one time when i was in iran I received my jelly bean upgrade and i did it and my CSC showed TEH (iran). and kitkat was never released for iran (hence i never got the update).
So i downloaded official UAE kitkat Fiemwere from sammobile.com/ and loaded it on my phone using Odin (FYI I am not a pro at all, i was just following instructions and I never rooted my phone).
after the upgrade i noticed a significant decrease in performance, it got extremely laggy.
Im hoping someone here can help me fix it... will a hard reset do the job (since after upgrade nothing was deleted. all my apps and data was intact. the only thing which i had to uninstall and reinstall was purchased apps which stopped working after upgrade).
thank you in advance
Why dont you try custom roms.. You will get lots n lots of features.. And its pretty simple processes

Hi People
I am new to this Forum and please i need all the help i can get.
Over a month ago i upgraded my Galaxy S to a 2.2 using odin after o2 told me i was a pay as u go customer and could not get one.
However, i noticed Flash 10.1, youtube and some other apps will not update. Angry birds will not even install.
Is there anyway to update to the official Froyo, get the latest ROM and eliminate lags.
Thanks in advance
Is "Fota Kill" app. android version or phone model related?
I ask this because I found at least three diferent sizes...(1K, 23K, 29K)
And how to use it - if someone can do that for me, step by step, I am very grateful!
What I want is to keep the 4.0.4 rom - and the notification for OTA update is keep coming...
Thank you!

I really wonder why you wanna stay on 4.0.4 . In my humble opinion, ICS should be dead by now especially on GNex
Let us know if there is a specific feature in ICS that you don't wanna miss in JB so hopefully we can help you upgrading and finding that feature for you as well
I updated my phone from 4.0.4 to 4.1.1 (OTA) in the day I bought it and for two weeks I have sudden reboots, sleep of death and a lot of other problems. The store replace the phone and recomand me for this new one to keep the rom (4.0.4) as the best for this model. And for now I have more than 50 hours up time and not a single issue. So I realy want to keep this one. But the annoying ota update message popped up every two minutes. So how can I get rid of it?
I really can't be convinced with what the store told you because sooooo many users have upgraded to JB. Some are facing slower performance on 4.2.1 and they are sticking to 4.1.2 but not for ICS at all. Moreover, if the store replaced the whole phone then maybe that device was defected, so it is not JB because JB is not slower or having troubles compared to ICS especially because of project butter in JB.
My recommendation for you is to give it another try with JB. Try 4.1.2 or 4.2.1 as I found both of them very fine honestly. You will easily find so many threads in this forum to help you make a clean installation instead of using OTA update if you want to change. Personally I never did an OTA update because I like wiping everything and starting fresh with every android version
Regarding how to use FOTA Kill, the answer is up there in the thread I mentioned in my previous post so just head there and read the posts then you will find another link to show you how to use the app. Good Luck

As you'll need an unlocked device + root for FOTAKill anyway, give the 4.1.2 another try. 4.2.x is kinda buggy ATM, but 4.1.2 really is a good stock ROM. So get a Google stock image and apply FOTAkill there, to avoid 4.2.
Thanks for the help! I wait to pass the holidays - in case of something will goes wrong - and I will try to do a clean installation. Until then, is there any method - application or something to get rid of the annoying OTA uppdate message?
Not without root.
So as I was browsing around the interwebs, I decided to check Sammobile to see if there were any new firmwares.
Turns out T-Mo released a new rom this month (no idea when because I dont check daily) and I would assume its Jellybean.
Here is the Hotfile link they sent me to and I'm downloading it right now.
Its not jellybean, its 4.0.4

Crap, okay....
Mods, you can delete this thread
The improvements are: "Qualcomm fix, Security enhancements, Vlingo S Voice improvements."
I have a stock T989 with the LI1 firmware... it's ICS 4.0.4. The new LI4 version is... ?
I haven't updated because I don't trust that it will be stable yet. I'm getting 36 hours of battery life (with plenty of use!) out of LI1 right now. I don't want it to get all fubar'd again.
samsung galaxy s2 Tmobile

yeah so im new at rooting and had some one do it for me and it worked i was so happy :laugh: .Then i see the new firmware on samsung kies i thought it was jellybean also upgraded but it was 4.0.4 T989UVLI4 ****! Now im not Rooted any more.is there a way to root this new rom please Help me .thanks
Root it the same way as the previous version. The same custom recovery and busybox/SU installer files work properly.
Closed per OP request
i have the n7105, i dont want to root and use custom roms as i had massive problems with gps and sat nav on my previous phone when changed roms, so sticking with official rom as sat nav is perfect.
saying that, i dont see many roms for the n7105 so there is nothing to entice me to change, unless they are all in the n710 rom thread?
also - im on ee (was t-mobile) in UK, but the phone has not had an update since i got it last year.. its still on 4.1.1 does samsung not update? i dont want t-mob getting there hands on it first and loading it full of junk.
Well as for updates lte phone get it lasts due to carriers.

IF the note is unbranded/unlocked You cna install the latest update from samsung via Odin. I'm running it now on my 7105, unrooted and stock, from tmob UK. There is one on samfirmware for EE.
Have you checked connecting the note to kies (via windows PC) to see IF there is an update available for your device?
IF you're sim locked you can remove it quite easily. Just follow this thread
You need any help gimme a yell
thanks, maybe i will look into it, rooting shouldn't affect the navigation/gps software..
N7105 has 4.1.2 now

Hi,
First post so be kind..
I've got a UK G3 D855 which, after having massive problems with overheating & battery life following the 5.0 update earlier this year, I rooted. After finding this rendered some of my most used apps useless (not liking rooted devices), I used the unroot tool to revert to stock. I've been reasonably happy with 4.4.2 but would prefer to try updating again now to the latest version (5.1.1?).
Now the problem I have is when using the check for updates within the update centre, I am told it is running the latest version available!
Any ideas why and how to get around?
Thanks.
