A few months ago when I got the update notification I chose not to update at the time and got rid of the update file. I have decided to update my android version (still stuck on 2.3.6) but how do I go about doing so? Also, can i leave my phone rooted and running the current rom+mod when I update my android version? If not - what do I do so that i can update without ruining my phone? Also would I be able to flash roms made for different android versions than the one I have?
Thanks for the help guys.
hi,
due to an issue with my phone's camera, i had factory reset my note2 and downgraded to 4.1.1 original phone setting from 4.1.2. my concern now is, after moved down from 4.1.2 to 4.1.1, already few days and when i check the software update, it tells my phone is already with the latest version. Will not the phone re-upgrade back to 4.1.2 again and i have to manually do the upgrade? what if future version upgrade like 4.2? or 4.x??
pls help.
thanks and regards
How you Check Update Threw OTA or Kies?If threw OTA than try Kies.QUOTE=lang419;38492665]hi,

You might have downgraded to a 4.1.1 rom of a different country.
If you wanna upgrade again then flash the latest rom for your country.

I'm new to android. I can't figure out why my phone will not OTA update. I'm on 4.1.2 I thought that I had the Sep. 4.1.2 update, but I don't and found that out when I was trying to update to the 4.3 that I've been waiting for. I'm still on version (I317UCAMC3) not (H3) which it says you need for the 4.3 update.
Every time I try to OTA update I get Software Update Interrupted, I think I've also gotten "your software is up to date"? I've also tried the Kies firmware and it says that my version is not supported to update via kies? I got the phone off eBay supposedly new and unlocked, but it's Att branded. Would being unlocked stop an update?

DO NOT OTA
you want to be on 4.3, just use the one click method, this way you dont have the locked bootloader

OTA = BAD. Wait and get one that is knox free as well.
It's not the unlocked part blocking the update. If the updated senses that the current version is not 100% stock, then it won't update. If the recovery is not 100% stock (I'm not 100% about this though), it won't update.
But you will end up in the long run being better off flashing either 4.4 (which ever cooked ROM you choose,) or waiting for the fabulous dev's here in XDA land to cook up the 4.3 version knox free, and rooted out of the box.
As far as I know the phone is stock so I still don't understand why the update won't go through. I downloaded a root checker to see if my phone was rooted and it says that it is not. since I can't figure out why the phone won't update I guess I should just root and install a rom.
Usually a custom recovery stops an official update.

I was told unless you have ***mh3, it will not update to 4.3 via OTA.
I have same issue, I have UCAMA3 and it won't do.
It seems it doesn't even have to be stock for someone I work with had **MH3 rooted and all and it updated to 4.3 OTA.
Maybe someone will be able to put out rooted stock one in the future.
my phone wont update either
I am having a similiar issue with my phone, it is rooted and will not update. I have Android version 4.1.2 Baseband version I317UCAMH3 Build JZO54k.. and I have twrp recovery. Does anyone know what I can do to receive the update? Do I have to unroot in order to receive the update? and if so can someone direct me on how to do that? Or is it better to just flash a custom rom and if so would someone be able to direct me to where I can find the instructions to do that. Thank you so much! I have flashed roms in the past but its been a while...

Hello,
I am a bit confused, people say here that after update to Android L, the boot loader will change and there is no way to downgrade. If by any chance 5.0 shows some issues then there would be no way back, While some others say that by flashing the android L rom with any recovery you can always go back.
So please say me which is better ? Flashing or OTA ?
If ota, then is there any way to downgrade.
I'm a new user and want to play with custom roms, while still want to taste the lollipop.
Please help !
OTA
Hey Men I Am Very Much Impress BY your Question I Think The OTA Will Be The Best Way To Update The Phone Because If Any Think Happens To The Mobile While Updating The Mobile From Recovery Or CWM It Will Get Bricked then What Will You Do So I Think The Best Part Of Update Is The OTA Update. :good:
I have a t999L rooted phone, Android 4.3 T999LUVUBNC1. Tmobile is telling me I need to do a software update. It is apparently T999LUVUBNF4, but I do not see any "root" option with this build. Where can I get a copy? If I flash it, will I still be rooted, or will I have to re-root. Its been a while since I've been on these forums and I need some guidance. Thanks.
You'll have to re-root. Not sure if it'll even flash the OTA
