I had my S3 replaced today becuase the power/lock button broke. When the vzw rep. brought out my replacement device it had a sticker on the phone that said updated. After activating and checking the building number I can confirm that VZW is updating their stock to a newer version. My current build number is I535VRALG1 and baseband is I535VRLG1. Does any one know if I can flash the previous version in Odin. I am afraid that they might have done this to block our current root method. This is the first I have heard about this current build.
Wanna help us out on IRC?
We need to see if you can root and what your system dump looks like.
any idea on what the update is?
I am heading to school right now and I do not get out until 11 o'clock eastern time. When I get home tonight I'll join the irc if somebody can be kind enough to let me know what channel it is.
Edit:
I see the channels in LLstarks sig I will join in tonight when I get back from school

Anymore info on this? I just had a phone shipped out on Monday, received today. Same little UPDATED sticker on the phone and box.
It would be nice to get some new radios. Would they be flashable with a locked bootlader?

Nope. Having a locked bootloader means we can't flash radios, kernels, or change boot animations ONLY roms.

How would we update this then? Stock recovery? Shouldn't make a difference if we've overwritten the recovery.img, since the only thing that seems checked is that the boot.img is signed.

You're probably right about the baseband but people have already flashed kernels and boot ani's.

Radios are unknown at the moment (most likely can flash update no problem, not sure about flashing downgrade). However boot animations ARE part of the rom, just FYI. Also kernels are flashable as well, just has to be done through a workaround method.
It probably takes away the search the whole phone function of S-Voice and some other small updates.

Ahh, touche. I was under the impression that flashing kernels was a proof of concept still not a done deal. Also, I wrote boot animation but was thinking splash screen regardless you are right.
Was just about to post the same thing actually. I just had my phone exchanged today and got the UPDATED sticker on it. Haven't tried to root it yet, though. Was going to wait a while to see if this topic came up/new update gets rooted. I really don't want to mess with it either. Just popped in to say that I got the same updated phone.
My co-worker received his phone yesterday and wanted me to root it for him, but it showed "updated" as well - new build/baseband number. To be safe I decided to hold off on rooting till we get some sort of confirmation.

Well I was going to flash the rooted image last night but fell asleep while waiting for my phone to charge. I get home a little earlier tonight so I will try flashing and see what happens. According to invisiblek I should be able to just factory reset if flashing in Odin fails. I just don't wanna Bork my phone. I also want root though....lol

i have Nexus S korean version (M200). Now, running ics 4.0.4(stock rom), and i try to check update Jeanbean. But i get " the system i currently up to date" . Cann't M200 update JB?? who can help me about this?? :crying:
I'm pretty sure that it's going to take a long time for KT to update to JB. M200's update is from KT not Google. That's why it takes more time for M200 than other variants. But you can always root and flash custom ROMs like me.

Download any ROM(customROM for 3G), but if you flash stock ROM, use factory image(stock ROM) for I9020t/i9023.

I have managed to update my Nexus-S (M200-Korean) to Jelly Bean.
First I updated with the stock image of international version using this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...20&postcount=1
This changed the baseband version from M200 to XXXKl1
After reboot I was able to get 4.1.1 via OTA
I haven't seen any problems so far
Are there any that I may not have experienced yet?

Radio compatitability depends on where u live.
If you experienced problem, look for this thread

If it's not compatitable, it can cause sudden signal drops and low mobile data speed.(afaik)

I am from Kolkata,India.Using m200 korean model.Have the same problem as the threadstarter.I guess when you're using it smoothly then inshallah,i too would.
Just to be pretty sure,you're telling me to follow ONLY this:
First up, let me tell you that doing this is not necessay to get the OTA or having a smooth JB experience. The JB OTA installs without a wipe which means the data is preserved.
UPDATE: Google has put up the full image for 4.1.1 [i9023, i9020a and i9020t] . Now you do not need to clean flash ICS and then JB. Follow the part 1 of the guide below and flash the JB image instead of ICS. Nothing more to it.
Thanks anshumandash for pointing it out
That being said, I wanted to have the real stock image on my Nexus S and then Upgrade to JellyBean. Below are the steps that I took.
Go to this GoogleAndroidImages page and download the appropriate image for your phone & download. Since mine is an international version a.k.a I9023, I chose that ROM.
The download will be a tar.gz file. Use a utility like 7Zip to uncompress it. The tar.gz will have a .tar file inside and the /tar file will have a folder. Extract the folder to your PC. For my download, the folder was named soju-imm76d
Next Steps will wipe your phone, completely
Reboot your phone into bootloader mode.
Open a command prompt, navigate to the folder in step 2.
Enter the below commands, the image file names are for my download, modify it to the file names in your folder before running (I assume that you have fastboot working)
fastboot flash bootloader bootloader-crespo-i9020xxkl1.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot flash radio radio-crespo-i9020xxki1.img
fastboot reboot-bootloader
fastboot -w update image-soju-imm76d.zip

RIGHT?Meaning just the above process?
---------- Post added at 06:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:47 PM ----------
also,this means it'll wipe all my data/apps/settings ? ?
Yes you too can try..
for me, after the first step , I rebooted a couple of times and automatically got JB via OTA.
Insha-Allah you should also get the same.
But proceed with caution and download factory ICS image from google.

Yeah. I did some research and basically couldn't find any manual way of doing it. Now you have two options:
1) If you really want the official, call T-Mobile up and ask whats going on and they'll definitely fix your problem.
2) Your other option is to root your phone. Now this is a little bit risky but if you follow all the proper steps, you'll be golden. And with rooting, you can even get a Jelly Bean ROM. It basically unlocks so many features on your phone.

Hi,
Do you only want to update via HTC update,or are you willing to s-off your phone?
Just wanted the htc update im not much of a fan of rooting.
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app
Just a thought. Are you sure you are on stock unrooted Rom? I know sometimes folks buy the sensation now used, and the previous owner may not have put the device back to S-on. That could be a reason its not updating OTA.

Im pretty sure its stock and unrooted, I thought it would be easy by doing it with a computer like samsung kies but it seems with htc ota is the only way unless i find the file some where and do it manually.

I haven't been prompted to update to VRBMF1 yet and haven't manually updated. I am still on VRBMB1. Ready to try Beans' one click root method but not sure whether to take the update first or not. Anyone have any suggestions?
Pretty sure it'll work, it doesn't really matter if you're going to end up flashing a custom rom; but it's all preference maybe if you want the new modems just take the update.

Can you provide info if the one click method works for you. I am on VRBMF1. Never rooted before.
Just root. The newest update had signal and battery issues, along with many other issues. Verizon even pulled the OTA. Flashing a newer ROM will give you the newer features anyways, and it will be better.

It was incredibly easy. Only thing that tripped me up at first was that I didn't have the Samsung drivers installed on my PC. Since the thread didn't mention installing them I was assuming they weren't needed. You can get them here. Once I installed them and went through the steps in the thread, I was rooted and unlocked in a few seconds.
I highly recommend LiquidSmooth v2.7 if you'd like to get rid of TouchWiz.

What method do you use to root? I'm on the VRBMF1 build already, on Verizon. I have the S3 toolkit from mskip, but it says it can't do anything until I get the bootloader unlocked. Now I can't find any method to unlock the bootloader for this build. I feel I'm just missing something stupid, but I can't find it :crying:

As usual kids, if you've rooted and put on a custom recovery or otherwise modified your ROM, DO NOT UPDATE.
And if you plan on rooting in the future, I also advise you to not update. See if the new version can be rooted with the current tools. Loki and the adb exploit have changed on some of the later versions.
LOL
Updating from 10o to 10q.
I don't have high hope seeing KK anytime soon.
Let's see.

Auto Download & Install
My G2 automatically downloaded this update and tried to install it, but caused a boot-loop with TWRP.
It was charging in another room so I had not accepted any requests to update, if there were any.
It is fixed, but I am angry that it downloaded and attempted to INSTALL the update on its own.
This is true!!! Only message I got was installing in 30 sec

the update only has the support for future updates for the g2,meaning, that it is most likely setting up for the 4.4 update. who knows when thats gonna happen though. hopefully soon
I guess this explains why my phone mysteriously booted into TWRP and i went into a bootloop while the phone was in my pocket during a meeting. I was able to fix it by following this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2451696 Hope this helps anyone in need.
