Don't really want to root unless I know I can return to stock and can't find my firmware version on samfirmware. Any ideas?

2.3.6 hasn't been released by Samsung as an ODIN flashable update, it's only available via OTA.

I also flashed this for the hell of it and he's right it says no update is available. Try flashing k0nanes tar it will trigger your flash counter but im sure the ota works with it.
Retracted.

It works fine with sammobile. It might not see the update right away, though.

There's no set time. Maybe an hour, maybe a day or so. Maybe just a reboot.

Did Samsung pull the LH2 firmware?
My device says no firmware update available.
Sorry could not find any information on this

Thats the rumor. My guess is they did because a Jelly Bean update is pending.

I never saw LH2 via OTA, try Kies. I got it via Kies.
No longer available through kies.

Strange... when I connect my device to Kies, it reports my LH2 as the latest available firmware. So Kies knows about it.
I'am on LH2 (made the upgrade a week ago). A friend of mine bought yesterday his note, we tried to upgrade through kies, said his LGA is the latest - LH2 no longer offered.

Went back to stock using Odin. Relocked boot with Ez unlocker. Still no update. Are they rolling this out slowly?

That must be the case. My wife has a bone stock S3 and no update as of about 4pm today. I went ahead and rooted her phone and froze the FW Update app just to make sure she didn't get the update. Will update the radio later if everyone says it's better than existing.
Im bone stock rooted got the update yesterday and signal seems better for me.

I have the ATT skyrocket rooted and unlocked when I first got the phone in 2011, and is on 4.04. I remember that the post said that I must unroot if I want to upgrade the rom OTA from ATT. Is there any other way to upgrade to the latest stockrom without unroot? I cannot find the post I originally referenced to root/unlock.

^^ what he said. Just get the .tar file from sammobile.com and flash using Odin. You will lose root after this process.
If you want to update using kies (the update is not ota. You have to use kies. ) then s long as kies detects your phone and you have a stock recovery, you should be OK.
However, I believe that you will loose your apps and data with both the methids.. So just use Odin

Thank you very much. I should be able to re-root after the upgrade, correct? Or the lastest 4.1.2 cannot be rooted yet?
I have problem with Odin before, never got anything done with it. Let me try it this time.

Yes you can root the new jb using the same procedure as before.

If your rooted why not just flash a stock rom with the newest update. That will save you the trouble of dealing with Odin.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using Tapatalk 2
Trouble? Odin is as simple as place file in pda and click start. I don't see any trouble there....

I meant it more of an hassle. Plug in Odin then uproot do the update then reroot. Just seems so much easier to flash a stock base rom.

Why would you unroot to do the update via Odin. I believe your logic is flawed here. Although I do agree an install would be expeditious via recovery, your argument is flawed.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I727 using Tapatalk 2
Just FYI - I was on rooted stock, and just did the update with Kies without unrooting. Now i'm on JB unrooted as a result.
been trying to update to 4.1.2 firmware on and off and no luck
all stock no funny business
connect to kies and there is nothing for a update
do they have a odin package available
thanks
The update is done OTA only at the moment. Check for software update in settings.
Not really
I updated mine to 4.1.2 through kies
