Bought my Atrix in Australia with Bell firmware, rooted and successfuly flashed it with OLYEM_U4_1.4.2.gz some time ago.
All works fine.
With the forthcoming Telstra update to Gingerbread will I be able to just upgrade my Atrix without any hickups or do I have do do something else to it prior to upgrading.

Hello!
are new to the forum, and I had a request for help and clarification from you.
I recently purchased the nexus as if originally fitted Android 2.3.3, so far I have not received any OTA update it to 2.3.4 above it ... how can I do to solve this problem?
I can go to 4.0.3 without going first to the previous ones??
look forward to your responses on!!
There is a stickied thread in general that has the links to all of the updates for the NS. Go to your specific phone model and download either the update (2.3.3 -> 4.0.3 or similar) or a full rom which can be flashed at any stage.
So today i found out that the droid thunderbolt has ice cream sandwich 4.04... my question: how do i root my droid thunderbolt with the official firmware, 4.04. I found a thread saying "root any 4.0 ICS" but i am not sure if that counts for my thunderbolt AND i dont want to brick it. please forgive me, I cant find a thread really answering my question. I am a noob. I have rooted my thunderbolt before. but i ordered a new one, this one is brand new and i have yet to even update it, but i am assuming that i will be updating it to ICS 4.04 may some one please help me and 1k apologize for being a noob
I've been running stock 4.1.2 on my AT&T SGH-i747 but it won't work with Bluetooth Smart devices. I saw that CyanogenMod has a 4.3 for the SGH-i747 and people were successfully using a Polar H7 heart rate monitor.
Thus began my journey into rooting the phone since it seemingly took forever for AT&T to come out with 4.1.2 (from 4.1.1).
I used ChainFire's excellent CF-Auto-Root and was searching for the stock 4.1.2 ROM before loading CM when I found, on Samsung's website, that they have released Jelly Bean 4.3.
Go to Samsung's US Support website and search for "AT&T Cell Phones: How do I update my Samsung Galaxy S® III (AT&T) to Android 4.3 Jelly Bean?"
(I can't post the link because I'm new here.)
I'm installing it onto my phone as I write this message.
I still plan to root for Titanium Backup, et al, but figured the link could help some other newbies out there.

The update size is 623.10MB so be patient...
The OTA 4.3 update worked. It took nearly an hour to download via 4G and then 15 minutes to fully install.
For the AT&T SGH-i747 the new build number is JSS15J.I747UCUEMJB.
I have been around the Android forum section and see that I was late to the party regarding the 4.3 OTA release. However, this thread should be easy for newbies to find and hopefully it will help them get started.
Newbies: go to the Android forums on this site and search for instructions on rooting your SGH-i747 4.3 OTA. There are a number of threads. I used ChainFire's CF-Auto-Root which you can also find in a forum search.
I am currently having an issue trying to upgrade my phone from (Android OS 4.0.4 Ice cream Sandwich), I cant quite figure out how to do it or if it's even possible but I am trying to upgrade the phone from (4.0.4) to (5.0 Lollipop). As I said before i'm not even sure if its possible to do it but I would like all the help I can get. Also I have already rooted my phone assuming that I would most likely need to in order to upgrade but I have stopped there and don't know what to do now.
These are the phones specifications:
*Phone: Samsung Galaxy S2
*Model: SPH-D710
*Rooted: YES
*Purchase date: 2011-2012
*Provider: Unlocked phone
*Service: I'm using virgin mobile on an unlocked phone.
Those are all the specifications if any more are needed please just request in a reply.
So I'm trying to upgrade the version of the OS to 5.0, any help with this would be great if its not possible what is the latest OS I can upgrade it to and how would I do that?
Hello,
Welcome to XDA.
Ok, if you are on 4.0.4 then there are a few extra steps you need to go through before you actually get to where you can flash a custom ROM.
You are already rooted, next you will need to flash a custom recovery(CWM/TWRP/Philz), then you will have to flash a custom 4.3 ROM and an Ice Cream Sandwich modem, then you will flash a custom 4.4 ROM, then you can flash a 5.0 ROM, at least that's the steps i had to go through way back when i first rooted the one i have and flashed up to Kit Kat from 2.3.6(AFAIK there are no custom 5.0+ ROMs for the Epic 4G Touch but there are plenty of nice Kit Kat 4.4.4), I have one also and I've been looking for 5.0 for a while and haven't found one yet but i haven't dug deep to find one. If you find one please send me a PM with a link to where it is, I would appreciate it.
Try posting your question in the link below, the Epic 4G Touch forum is mostly dead and non-active threads, I doubt you will get any help or replies there.
