Yes you can download the ICS update through Kies or actually download the files and flash it yourself.
http://www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&model=SGH-I727&pcode=ATT&os=1&type=1#firmware
You then would have to find out the APN used in India and change it if it doesn't automatically set it.
Make sure the phone is unlocked first so you can easily change carriers without hassle.

I recently unbranded my Samsung Focus on Rogers for the NoDo update, and it worked just fine. I've been reading about some OTA updates Rogers was releasing, and I didn't want to miss out on it.
I've tried using the DeBrander xap found on this site, but unfortunately I debranded using the Samsung Registry Editor so the Debrander app can't rebrand it.
Does anyone know the code I have to input into the Registry Editor to put rebrand it with Rogers?
I'd really appreciate the help!
I was just about to ask for something like this...hopefully someone can help even I want to see how the focus update goes on a att unit *well the firmware update that is*
You need to use the registry editor and rebrand it manually to ATT-US (not sure)

Thanks lumin30
Both of you, bug Mobilicity for a stock image to restore your phone. lol. Wind won't give me one but maybe Mobilicity will.
I can get it to about 90% stock right now and I'm sure I'll get it almost there. The problem is this. To dump the stock phone, we need it rooted to gain access but the only way to get root on 2.3.6 with the latest patches, is to flash a rooted kernel, which is great but then prevents us from dumping the stock kernel. It's a catch 22. Need a hacked kernel to dump the kernel but flashing the hacked kernel erases the stock kernel. lol.
The package linked by lumin30 will get you rooted, and all the options from there are explained.
tnx

Hi,
I will check with mobilicity and see what i can do to get the files from there. I really doubt if they would do it for us.
Meanwhile i am trying to get the files from someone who has a official unlocked phone purchased which is carrier free.
He hasn't tampered with it yet.
let me see what he can do for us.
Thanks
HI all,
I am new to this forum.
i got factory unlocked samsung galaxy s2 hd lte i757m with android v4.1.1 from canada.
I am using this cell in INDIA.
I am experiencing some freeze and sometimes restarts almost daily in my first week of usage.
battery drains fast with just 1hour of wifi usage.
Also cell phone heatsup while charging
Samsung support says officialy jellybean is not been released to hd lte yet , so u might be facing the problem.
Guys does anyone has faced same issues?? please help
There is no official JB for the i757m yet - Samsung are right. The issues definitely sound ROM related, I would recommend rolling back to ICS as it's very stable for me, with good battery life. Also worth noting - your phone will always heat up while charging
Here is a thread relating to installing CWM on the i757m. Ignore that, under the 'Download' section (expand the hide tag) there's a Dev.host link to some files. Go into the Bell SGS2 HD LTE folder, grab Odin3_1.85.zip and in the Factory Images folder, grab 'Unzip Me Stock ICS'. Don't forget to click 'thanks' for dsixda in his thread.
Once you have both those files down, unzip the ROM to get a tar.md5 image, and use ODIN to flash. There are many ODIN tutorials on this site, I suggest reading a couple BEFORE doing anything, as this has the potential to brick your phone completely.
If you need further help after reading, I will be here. I have this phone, and have done this a few times
Good luck!
Justin
thanks Justin,

That's no problems, we don't actually use Kies to do anything, plus we are downloading the ROM ourselves. I have done the same thing from Australia, so I don't think that India should be a worry
If you follow that link above, and grab the two files that I mentioned, that's the first step. Once you have them on your computer, I'll send you some USB drivers, and then help you with the next steps to get it working

I am not sure will it let you to OTA but you should be able to flash it via odin.
Here is the link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1974114
But be careful it might mess with he radios and you have to flash it back to cricket.
Hi All,
Newbie here, I have a samsung s4 that has been rooted and CMW installed and I'd like to flash it back to stock. The phone was originally locked to virgin mobile Canada but I paid to get it unlocked. Do I need a ROM specific to virgin mobile to flash back to stock or will any one do as long as it's for the S4? for example I've seen ones that are for at&t, rogers, bell, etc... does it make any difference?
Reason I want to flash back to rom is to be able to get the OTA updates again and be able to upgrade to lolipop when it comes out. In fact, is there a way to re-activate OTA with out having to reflash?
thanks in advance, keep up the excellent work!

I think you are talking about unrooting.To do this you have to go to SuperSu and settings(whatever it is called).There is an option called "permanent unroot" this should takeaway your root access

Hi Kobro,
Does it matter what type of ROM I use? My phone is an s4 originally locked to Virgin Mobile Canada, does this mean I need to find specifically a Virgin Mobile Canada ROM for my s4 or will any stock ROM do as long as it's for s4? (I haven't been able to find a Virgin Mobile Canada stock ROM anywhere for the s4)
Thanks in advance!

any s4 stock rom should do the trick
however, you should try sammobile.com to seeif they have the carrier specific firmware.
After flashin with odin i suggest to use kies to control the latest version.
Thanks everyone for your helpful replies. I might wait till Lolipop is officially released for s4 before I flash back to stock. S4 Lolipop here I come!
