[Q] Jelly Bean Question - Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III

I was just wondering if upgrading to Jelly Bean leaked version invalidates the verizon warranty? Also, when the official version comes out from Verizon (God knows when!), are we allowed to still get that OTA?
Thanks!

I would bet that if you odin'd the leaked version Verizon would say your warranty has been voided.... I can see how this could be argued both ways but this is not the official release and therefore not their problem if you ruin your phone. I'm not sure how the OTA thing will work? I'm on the leak and my phone will check for updates, says no update is available. I would guess you'd have to be on a valid Verizon release for the OTA to work. If You want to install the leak you can always Odin back to stock firmware... It's easy.

There would be 0 way they can tell you did it. The device status would still show normal, and I doubt anyone would have two s**ts anyway.

I don't know how exactly Samsung's OTA update system works but I assume it will be similar to how it was on moto. If you flash a leak and it isn't what they later publish as the official upgrade then it takes you off the "update path". When I was on my RAZR MAXX if you flashed one of the leaks and it didn't turn out to be the official update then you were off the update path and had to go to the last version of android that was released to get future OTA updates. When I was on the leak and the OTA was actually released my phone wouldn't show there was an update available until I went to the official release, it would search for updates and show that none were available when there actually was.

Unless I'm mistaken, I think you just got pushed the HSUPA update. This part of the file name, "1_84_502_11", matches my firmware number after the HSUPA update. I don't know what number was on the firmware before the update, but my firmware is 1.84.502.11 after said update. From what I remember, the file name is exactly the one I got when I checked for it after the update was officially released last month.
EDIT: Unless of course, I'm wrong, and that's a totally new firmware update. Though I haven't seen any info on any new firmware updates for us since HSUPA.

I got the push on this via wifi yesterday afternoon also. I was assuming that this was the update that would enable installation of non market apps but I was wrong. Anyone have any additional information on this OTA update?
Personally, I do not think this is a recent update as I have been running custom roms since I bought the device but had to revert back to stock because of a warranty issue that will require me sending the device back. I think it is an update that was missed in the timeframe from February launch up until about 3 days ago.

I just referenced those numbers to mine and it IS the HSUPA update. It wasn't released till late April, so it hasn't been out that long. I just don't know if you should install it. If your sending it back, and since you reverted back to stock, maybe you should try installing it.

I was at wendys today, used their wifi to check for the update and sure enough it was this same one. D/l'ed it and installed. My speeds went from 200kb/s to 500kb/s. That was just one test though
I just hope this doesnt effect rooting it in the future as i plan to do so.
Just got the Inspire for my wife today. Saw this update as well. She doesn't want me to root or flash anything yet. Wondering if it's ok to run this update without it affecting the ability to root and flash anything later.
TIA

Phone Update...but not ICS

There is a minor update coming....sucks it isn't ICS, but they tend to push out these updates just before a major upgrade...so fingers crossed.
http://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-4182
Whether or not it is worth installing, though....and it does look like your phone has to be unrooted.

I've kept my phone on its stock ROM and unrooted, and it looks like my waiting finally paid off! Hoping you're right, and that this is a pre-req for the upcoming ICS release. Maybe this will coincide with the T-mo release of the Blaze Q (QWERTY version of the Blaze 4G)?
Also, has this update gone live yet? I'm using WiFi at the moment and so far I get a message saying there isn't an update available from the server
Can someone confirm if I have to be unrooted?

I put my sim into the blaze and nothing no update ota yet lol if anyone gets it before midnight hit me up on a PM
if not then tomorrow it goes live on mini kies and i'll just download it there
This is why I always flash recovery first and run a backup of stock prior to rooting. I will backup where I am now and check to see if there's anything to this update.
This also kind of confirms that ICS will be coming soon as stated... kinda exciting!

"We saw something very similar for the Galaxy S II as a small maintenance update arrived a few weeks before Ice Cream Sandwich. We hope that same scenario plays out here as well. Stay tuned for Ice Cream Sandwich Blaze 4G owners."
Huh... How do I revert to Stock unrooted? Also, do I HAVE to update to install future custom ICS ROMs? I'd rather just wait until the source code is released ans I'll just install a Stock custom ROM. I need clarification. Because I don't feel like reverting to Touchwiz -_-

just because u said u don't like touchwiz made me answer this more
to return to unrooted stock you need to use the stock LB7 tar file and the blaze.pit file and Odin back to stock
I beliieve k0nane made a good guide for that on dev forum.
And you can always wait as soon as Kies updates tomorrow with LF4 i'll download and decrypt it and use it for base no my build 5 for dknight which is going to add some awesome stuff on top of the already awesome stuff

Update is live through Kies as of 9am cst. You lose CWM through the update and cannot be rooted.
So will the current CWM and rooting methods be ok to be used again? I hate bloat
How long did it take for the update to work via Kies?
I started the firmware download, and once the download finished Kies kind of.. froze. Didn't see any activity in task manager, phone didn't show anything besides the normal home screen. Disconnected the phone with no ill effects fortunately.
Probably because I'm running Windows 8 release preview.. will try on my other Windows 7 rig

[PLEASE READ] Do NOT OTA update if you're on ICS and why

AT&T and Moto have released an OTA update for our initial (and stable) first leak. See the link below for more information on the first leak:
First leak info
The first leak is the ONLY version of ICS that we can safely FXZ back to GB from. I have seen many threads of people bricking lately due to installing this and making silly mistakes.
Until further notice, the Atrix 2 developers and other senior members are advising against installing ANY OTA update to ICS. If you want to be on ICS, then follow the procedure in the thread above. I REPEAT:
WE ARE ADVISING AGAINST INSTALLING ANY OTA UPDATES TO ICS. REGARDLESS OF WHAT LEAK YOU ARE ON.
Once you are on the ICS leak FREEZE the update process, so you don't get nags about updates.
We are just trying to allow you to keep the freedom you want on your phone and to save you from a brick.
THREADS YOU NEED TO READ FOR MORE INFO:
Threads on the OTA updates for our leak:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1877140
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1879998
Thread on ICS and your Atrix 2:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1882335
Let me go one step further. If you do not listen to the warnings and update anyway,Do not start a thread crying for help. There is no fix at this time. When/if a way back is found I assure you that it will be posted for the community.
So there is an official OTA for the leak but not to go from GB to ICS yet? Thanks Moto, not!

Honestly it seems more likely that this is an OTA for devs, or it's just trying to catch the people that installed the leak with their pants down.

Thank you. OP title is "if you're on ICS", but the above seems to say "for any reason". This may be obvious to others, but I want to clarify - are you advising that those on GB 2.3.6 NOT update OTA to ICS either?
And if you're only saying that because we cannot safely revert to GB from OTA, is there any reason we wouldn't want ICS OTA so long as we can root?
Thanks in advance.
Yes, the devs and other senior members are recommending against doing the OTA update to ICS from GB as we have no way of going back. Because of the locked boot loader this phone depends on the fxz to get us out of soft bricks. And yes we currently can root the ota ICS update, but merely rooting your phone will not save you from a boot loop. Atm only an fxz will do that. We have ICS builds that are safe to flash. Read the links in the OP for more info.

So do you know if a fxz will come out for the OTA ICS? Or is there something built into it that will never allow an fxz for ics?

An fxz is possible. But we just can't know for sure. We have to find one. Just a waiting game.

It is possible to get back to the first ICS leak from the OTA. However, the method is not very user friendly and it is still recommended to stay on the first leak.

[Q] OTA Update for Stock JB Rom

Hi
I downloaded and installed the Nordics JB Rom (N8000XXBLK2_N8000OXXBLJ2_NEE) without any issues. I can now also search for Samsung Updates again but it only tells me that I already run the latest version (my CSC is AUT / Switzerland). I was now wondering if I could get the corresponding OTA Update that some of you got after installing the JB Rom. I think I saw in another thread that it was another 400MB or so. Is there a way to download this and flash in Mobile Odin since this tool has an OTA update file option? I am confused because these files don't seem to show up on sammobile under OTA Updates (is their list incomplete?).
Thanks for any feedback!
Sam
Till now if have not seen any OTA after the JB update, but if it says there are no more updates then your device is registering and hence you should get OTA updates as and when they are out

Yes thats what I also assumed. As I already got the JB stock firmware and flashed it with ODIN (without waiting for it to be released officially for Switzerland) I was hoping that I could do the same also with the OTA update as I assume it will also be the same for all countries (as it is already with the base firmware).
How is the "OTA updates" section on sammobile to be understood if they don't show all updates? Is it broken? Or does it now show all of them by design?
The people received the ota have mistaken flashed ics because the thread creator posted wrong ics link instead of the jellybean one and he corrected the links after that

I don't see why not. The Blaze was released in March of 2012. The T989 also a Tmobile branded phone is running Jelly Bean and its older than our model. Presumably based on little differences and what nots it only makes sense for them to give the update. They are still marketing and selling the device so, yeah.(Hopefully)

Yep, shouldn't be an issue - I'll check again tonight, and like I said if no one else gets to it by the time I get my hands on it I'll post some stuff.
If I'm reading this right, the update to the new baseband is OTA if you are running non-rooted UVLH5 stock. There's nothing on samfirmware.com for this update to be available via KIES, so I would think that it's just OTA - that and it's only a 20 MB download. I'm going to go back to stock to see if this is OTA only and post my findings...
Nope. No OTA or KIES update available for me.

My interpretation of the T-Mobile info was that it was either - but you are right that it's not available via KIES currently so I could be wrong lol! No OTA has been pushed to the wifes phone yet, but that doesn't mean much for others of course.

It's just so weird to see it on Tmo but not on samfirmware. But yeah it says both... but I remember when ICS dropped it was on samfirmware almost immediately after release... could be because the ICS update was kies only... I'm not getting any OTA notification so... what gives..?

Maybe its based on region. Any west coast or Midwest users out there? It would be nice to confirm one user that has upgraded.
Edit: did you guys try updating or uninstall reinstall kies? I know its been updated since the last time I used it.
