After rooting and updating to leaked froyo
Will I be able to upgrade to the official update?
Is there a chance I wont be able to?

You can just one click odin back to stock and you will be able to. I believe there is no way you wont be able to unless you brick your phone of course
Not trying to scare u but I don't think u would be able to. I heard once u root and ur files have been messed with, u will no longer be able to ever update. Not even if u flash back to stock. This happened to me with the update they recently released.I researched why my phone didn't update and came across that info. But I could be wrong and why would u want to go to stock?

Above info is incorrect. If your rooted you can still update. If you kernel hoped you need to flash back to stock to do the OTA update. I have tested this.
So its safe just so as long as I flash with Odin and don't brick my phone right
Thanks for helping me out with this

the JH7 update for 2.1 eclair......the ONLY update that has come through OTA from ATT
just a thought, why would you want the official update as it will be made so much better after the guys here fix it. then just odin flash it... just my thoughts
happy captivate user cog 7.0 froyo.....
i need to go up to 9.1 but im happy as it is.
I was wondering the same thing. I have a rooted captivate running froyo and I wanted to install the update that was suppossed to fix gps. I erased the root and flashed back to stock eclair and I still couldnt install the update. I spent hours on the phone with att and samsung and did a bunch of factory resets and still no luck. Samsung said that the only thing left to try would be to send it in to them so they could flash their stock os back on it. But then I would be without a phone for a week and they wont give me a loner. Its really frustrating. The only reason I would go back to stock is if they fix the gps issue. That is the only major complaint that I have with this phone.

nobody knows. stop speculating
For the the last JH7 update, I flashed back to JF6 stock via odin one click, then pulled the OTA update via Kies Mini. Since it worked last time, why won't it work again? Once you flash back with Odin 1 click, Kies Mini sees the phone as fresh out of AT&T store. And the phone in such a condition is most certainly able to be updated straight to Froyo.
I just flashed back to 2.1 through Odin and did the update through Settings/Software Update. No issues.
Alright sounds great
I think I might root and get a new rom today
Any suggestions?
Thanks for the help

I was just reading about att updating issues. Came across something that worked for me. After that gps update I wasn't able to check att for updates anymore. So all I did was go to manage apps, filter to all, go to divice manager, delete data, reboot, and I was able to check for updates again. But fyi, I'm not rooted, so not sure if this will help or not.

You will be able to update, however it will most likely have to be done with Kies.
My phone was rooted and like you all would not allow the OTA update when trying to do so through the phone.
I updated kies itself hooked my phone up and installed the latest update. When doing so though, it removed my root access, reinstalled the bloatware, and undid any changes I did that required rooting (like the circle battery mod).
So updates can be had if you are rooted, it just may always require using the POS program Kies.
noone really knows about ota but probably. kies and odin should still work regardless.
the jf7 ota was not a full rom, it was a small file that contained scripts that replaced modules if i understand it right. froyo probably will need a full install and is more likely to work but is not garenteed by anyone, its all speculation. it is not clear that the last update failing was the intentions of samsung or att, they are not intentionally denying people the update they are just not going to go out of there way to support modded phones when they can save space time and data doing another way. people have reported that kies works and designgears is very fast to release odin versions when new updates are available.
Ahhh the GPS. I was in the car with my family last night and me and my brother have Captivates and I had to ask my mother for her 8GB 3GS so we could GPS our way. So sad. I absolutely love my Captivate to death but it Froyo doesn't fix the GPS I will, 100%, never buy another Samsung phone again. I don't care how awesome they are.
I'm going to wait for the update to be released and for a cooker here to make an awesome rom with the official release.
if you have a rooted and flashed phone why would you want the official update just get it from here, I don't see why this is a cause for concern

acs easy root does not work. i ran the root.bat it did its thing said you should have root i did not. i tried it 2 times no root. so i used the method i posted above
Seems much more simple to root when your at 2.3.5 (with stock recovery) then OTA update and you will keep root. I think it MIGHT work even if you have CWM but have not tested.
INope doesnt work if u have cwm i tested and so did a few others. But yes thats correct thats easier but i posted this for those who took the update and were not rooted
I'm rooted rite now...2.3.5. Will I lose my root if I update.. are can I even update while rooted? sorry..I'm still new to android

People are reporting that they didn't loose root when updating. However, not sure if they had stock recovery or not installed at the time. I didn't risk it and flashed back to stock then confirmed SuperOneClick did not work. Used the method described above and rooted.
Yes they had stock recovery. You cant take the ota unless you have stock recovery. And correct if you are rooted with stock recovery u will not loose root
Coming from Captivate and have had flashed HTC phones in the past, I kind of feel like anything Odin IS the easy method. It's like we had a OneClickMethod and a TwoClickMethod.
Correct odin is very easy if you read and follow all directions.
Link to stock recovery
Anybody have a link to the stock recovery for the skyrocket. I want to avoid having to flash completely back to stock before updating to 2.3.6.

Ok, maybe I am missing something here...
WHY are we going to the OTA update if many are reporting poor 4g performance after the update. I don't want my 4g to run slower just so I can say I have 2.3.6

My 4G speeds (pings, downloads, uploads) have improved since the OTA 2.3.6 update. Also, GPS finds and locks more satellites faster as well.

The ICS update isn't installing on my Atrix 2. The download process will finish and the installation will start, but it stops just a little into it and the phone will restart saying that the software update failed. I purchased the phone used and it was already rooted when I bought it. Will that keep the update from installing? How can I unroot or flash back? I'm new to all this, so I'm not entirely sure what to do and I don't want to try anything without knowing anything for sure. I don't want to mess up my phone. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks
Ok, I'm assuming you bought it used? And if so, why firmware are you on?

Have the same problem. Have rooted Atrix 2 on 2.3.6, official update is downloaded, but after "install" it just boots back to 2.3.6, and in About device section it says "Update failed."
General question now, how to officially update rooted phone?
Well all of you have modified or removed some of the stock system apps.of you are rooted go into cache/recovery and see the last_log it will give you the reason why the update is failing.
If you are not rooted just fxz back to stock and then try.

Well first of all you need to be rooted to see the cache folder.if you are rooted download root explorer or es file explorer.using that you can go into cache folder and see the last_log
Anyways if you wanna return to stock use the procedure from here and you'll be good to go http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=29560267
And yes if you fxz back to 2.3.5 you can OTA to 2.3.6 and then to ICS but in the link above now you can directly goto 2.3.6 just read the post and follow the instructions carefully

I've been on 4.0.4 since I bought the phone, and I haven't received any of the OTA updates. I tried all the usual tricks (clearing google frameworks, etc) and it still won't pop up. I search high and low here for an answer and didn't get anything. Suggestions?
Are you using on Verizon network?

Yes I'm on Verizon, no I haven't tried it with kies (guide?)
I am assuming you tried manually cheocking for a update under settings
I use to have this problem being on the Verizon stock Rom. I was on 4.1.1 K3 and I could not receive any OTA's either. Cleared google frameworks, kept checking for the software updates in settings, ect ect. I tried it ALL, even tried to do it in Samsung Kies. It use to always tell me the KIES was not able to update my phone or something like that. I finally rooted my phone and I was on custom Roms for a long while. Went back to stock K3 with the Tar file. All of a sudden I was able to receive the MB1 OTA and the latest MF1 OTA. I'm thinking maybe the software that shipped on my phone was glitchy? I use to think it was my actual phone and something was wrong with it but I guess it's not because now when ever I flash that TAR file to get back to Verizon Stock K3 build I am always able to receive the MB1 OTA and on and on to whatever OTA that'll bring me to the latest Verizon Stock Rom. That's what fixed it for me. I don't know if it'll work for you, it just something that worked for me.
I would honestly say, that if you're ok with rooting to just root now and install BoneStock. Arguably the most stable ROM around.

Agreed, BoneStock is badass and Andy does amazing work.
Rooting couldn't be easier with beans' casual root method, takes like 30 seconds!

Hey, everyone.
I've been searching around XDA and RootzWiki to try and see how I would be able to root my S III.
I found this one thread that recommended to downgrade to the VRBLK3 firmware.
I attempted to flash it VIA Odinv3.07 and the firmware update (or downgrade) failed.
I don't know what is causing it, probably a patched hole. But, when I rebooted my phone, it told me that the OS was "broken" and I needed to use Verizon's repair utility (I just flashed back the 4.3 MD5 and all my stuff came back).
My question is...
Does anyone know how to root the Verizon S III from 4.3?
OR
Does anyone know why Odin is failing on the downgrade?
Any help or comments are appreciated greatly.
Thanks!
