Hi all...just saw this on Sammobile... Can anyone confirm if they've gotten a ROM Update? Am on a custom ROM hence couldn't check for myself...plz let us know...
flashed the O2U and it 4.1.1 but thats the only on I flashed
By the way...just found out that there are roms listed for a lot of countries...so perhaps we might be looking at a new release after all...
Maybe Stage freight update?
It seems there was a bugvover at Sammobile...they have removed all the above upgrades...

Folks
I live in Taiwan and have an unlocked AT&T Captivate Glide (SGH-I927) running Gingerbread 2.3.6 (kernel: 2.6.36.3, baseband version I926UCKL1)
Read on Internet that if I only installed Kies,then I'll be able to upgrade to ICS.
But nooooo...it wont let me. Instead, it insists I have the latest firmware (PDA: KL1/PHONE:KL1/CSC:KL1 (ATT) and that as such it doesn't need to do a dam' thing.
Any ideas as to how come the upgrade doesn't work? Does it perhaps detect that I am not on the AT&T network? If yes, can I trick it to believe otherwise? Is the upgrade file/package available somewhere else? Am I misusing Kies?
Cheers and help is greatly appreciated

The upgrade to ICS was pulled by Samsung due to a few bugs in the release version, that's why you can't get it through Kies. If you are comfortable flashing ROMs and recoveries through Odin, read the development forum. You can find find the version that was released for a few days and patches for the major bugs. Otherwise just be patient and I'm sure an official ICS version will be released again.
As oldnoob said, Samsung pulled the update because of all the bugs left unfixed. Dev forum has the leak as well as the official release though in my opinion the leak is better, with the fixes added.

And if your unlocked dont you have to backup the elfs file

Now that I don't know, only unlocked device I had was an iPhone 3gs (I know, dumb decision.)

Got it, thanks, will wait then...Samsung's SQA needs mending, eh?
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.

Hi all,
I just got the U9200 on Tuesday unlocked through Amazon for $290! Rooted it yesterday using a guide on xda. But when I went looking around for other firmware I noticed that my version wasn't in any list. Google search turned up one Chinese forum thread that just says the guy rooted his phone. Searching xda brought up nothing relevant.
So, I'm wondering, does anyone else have this firmware? If so, have you compared it to the other available firmware?

An official update to jelly bean.
Similar to miui.
Get the instruction how to update.
When you install it set sd card as default. There is a bug with internal storage where there is only 2gb available.

Thanks for the link. I had not seen that before. And, at some point, I'll probably try that out.
But, I wasn't actually asking for links to new firmware. And none of the versions on the download page at the EmUI site match the version that came installed on the phone. The version on my phone is not EmUI, it's just stock ICS with a few Huawei extras.
Has no one heard of this version? Is it US only? It does say USA right in the middle of the version string. Really, I'm just curious.
baffled

Im sure there are dozens of people with that firmware version in the us but they just arent here at present. I also own a u9200 and i came to realise there were only a handfull of people with my exact firmware too. As for firmware version not being supported when u want to update to the emotion ui, i went around that by actually fooling the update that my firmware version was supported thus i did upgrade from ics to jelly bean. After a process ofcourse.

Good to know! At least now those people will have something show up in their future searches. It'd be nice to see more support for this phone on xda. Maybe as time goes on...

Also good to know. I may look into this when I get some time. In the process of moving right now, and I'm not currently looking to make any major changes to my device.
Thanks!
Well I dont know why there isnt a thread on this fone but if u ask me its the best fone ive ever used so far. Better than my s3. As for upgrading to jelly bean, I wouldnt really recomend it. I downgraded from jellybean because my fone kinda lost its speed and snappyness after the jellybean update. I think iy has something to do with the huawei emotion ui which they implimented on the upgrade. As much as I like the ui, I like perfomance better...so if u think u can luve without google now...dont bother upgrading. Ics on ascend p1 is the best.....but thats just me hey.

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.
4.3 not updating

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.
noobie question - after rooting, how do i get the latest "unbloated" version ?
noobie question -
So I finally rooted my phone today because I got sick of looking at all the AT&T Bloatware (and also being unable to update my phone since I use it on t-mobile)
after rooting, how do i get the latest "unbloated" software version ? 4.4.4 please, no lollipop until they fix all the bugs.
Can someone direct me to a step by step process of putting (flashing?) the official HTC software (ROM?)
Thanks

Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I think 5.0 is official and fully working on Sprint. I thought that's what the newer Verizon 5.0 Sense custom ROMs were based on. I'm on Verizon so I don't go milling about the Sprint forum, but I'd imagine there'd be a debloated stock or lightly modified ROM out there. If you're just unlocked and not s-off you'd need to flash the boot.img separately, but the ROM thread or a help thread should explain how that works of you're unfamiliar.
