My question may sound foolish but here it is.
I have Galaxy R with me on stock 2.3.4. Never rooted or installed any sort of ROMs.
If I carry this phone to Singapore and try to update OTA, will I be able to update to ICS as I see ICS Stock ROM for Singapore already released.

If update is released in your area/country then only you will get OTA update or else you will not get it....

I am from India. I may go to Singapore next month. Here in india OTA won't show any new update as it has never gone past 2.3.4
But in Singapore, I think the update for ICS has been released. So I had a doubt if I go there, and just search for update OTA, will I be able to see ICS and be able to update to ICS??

Buddy India we also we got ICS just connect your phone to PC and update it using Samsung Kies S/W and in INDIA Galaxy R released with 2.3.5 not 2.3.4..... No OTA Differs from area to area its depends on Phone CSC so you will not get OTA if you go to Singapore ....

yes just check it with kies ....
Also, our phone does not get updates with respect to our geographical location.. If you purchased your phone in India, you will have an indian rom by default and kies will search for an update to that rom.. So even if you take your phone to hong Kong or Taiwan it will not update if ics for India is not available...
Since ics is out for india, you can go ahead and update with kies as suggested by mj.vikram buddy

If we update through Kies, will my phone be affected by the eMMC brick bug? will my phone get bricked by chance? is there any safe way to do it?

buddy, just dont unpluged the phone when It will be updating. Also, eMMC bug is there in ICS. so after that just install CWM & then install Ardatdat's kernel V4 or higher. it is safe.

yes off course eMMC Brick bug will be there but it will not effect you until unless you wipe anything from CWM, if you are not using CWM then it will be safe or else you flash Ardatdat's kernel if you are using CWM.....

I've never rooted my phone. So, if I want to just update it through Kies, and then wipe data and factory reset my phone, will it do any harm to it? (considering that there is no CWM & ardatdat kernel is installed). Please tell me the steps to install the kernel as well..
Sorry for bugging you!

New firmware found.
Firstly I was shocked to see this new firmware on kies. All these days I was checking on Kies(Mac version) and didn't find any update.
(I am on GB 2.3.5. Never did any customizations on my phone, no rooting, no infected ROM. Nothing. It is as same as it was when I took it)
Now, I find this firmware update on KIES (Windows version) and wanna know if I can go ahead and update this firmware?? Is there any side effect of doing this?
Some one says you cannot factory reset after this firmware. Someone says, nothing would happen.
I am confused. Please help.
P.S: I am newbie and have no clue about CWM or eMMC brick or kernal

I was rooted, no lagfix when I tried to update. It got to 100% then it said failed. My baseband says I897UCJH7. Kernel 2.6.29 [email protected] #2.
Did the update work or not?
Flashman, how did your OTA update go? Any issues us rooted/unlocked folks should be worried about?
My instinct is to delay the update until I stop seeing posts about hot it F'd up people's phones.

If you rooted and removed anything from stock rom, you're pretty much guaranteed to fail on OTA update. In order to make the OTA download package as small as possible, Samsung uses a diff patch based on the bit differences between stock JF6 image and new JH7 image. So, if you touched the JF6 in any unauthorized way, the patch won't work.
Luckily, you can now use the newly released Kies Mini to do a full ROM update which should be more reliable as you have the entire ROM image downloaded to your desktop and then flash to your phone.

What do you mean removed anything from stock rom? I rooted and removed a bunch of the bloatware and did an OTA update with no issues.
I failed along with most other rooted and flashed guys. Luckily I didn't brick my phone in the process. I will wait until some beret update comes along before trying anything ota again.
Sweet life
Nevermind, I guess it didn't update fully cause some of the implemented changes aren't there. I really didn't want to have to run a master clear and have to reinstall all my stuff.

Do you have TouchWiz as your default launcher? and make sure you're on your home screen when you connect your USB cable.
If that doesn't do it you need to get back to JF6 only way or another because Mini Kies will continue to tell you that you have an "unregistered" device until it is at JF6
The reason is because your update failed partially :/
are you guys talking about a new update or just JH7?
We're talking about JH7, some people are still having difficulties getting it on their phone as the OTA is still failing - and if you've failed the OTA you need to reflash to stock before mini kies will work.
when i did the update i was rooted an it didn't fail on install or bootup or anything.
but then again i'm just rooted and nothing else has been touched.

Exactly, I don't think root causes any issues. I was able to check for update on a rooted ROM.

Hello all. I checked and no one has posted this yet so here it is. I am 100% stock on 2.3.5. I installed it through KIES so I am sure it's full stock. And it's been quite a while and I am not receiving the 2.3.6 update OTA. I don't know why. Do I have to download something? I don't know. Please help me out and thanks very much!:laugh:
what did you install through kies ? do you mean Odin ? if so what tar file did you use ? did you use sammobile.com tar ? what ROM you were on previously ? did you wipe throughly before flashing stock?
Mine as well. I've received my Skyrocket already in 2.3.5 but somehow, I want to update it to 2.3.6 but whenever I check the Software update, is says that my current software is up to date. Any help please?

What happens is that samsung clntinues to pull the updates. It has beem the third time it happens. When i had my phone 100% stock i updated mine from 2.3.5
to 2.3.6 and I went online to a forum to see what had changed. Many people were complaining about it especially me. Believe me they took away stuff rather then fixing it, for example wallpaper scroll. In conclusion 2 days later people were posting" I can't get the update" "what update" it is mainly because Samsung and att pull them out. Your phones are good don't worry.

I know it sounds crazy and I am anxious as everyone else but my experience having had several android devices is that it is often better to just wait.
I have know special knowledge about the release date but the way the JB update is rolling out for the S3 and the N10.1 we should have it in most if not all regions by the end of the year which is only 4 weeks away.
Personally I am quite happy with the way the tablet currently opperates, sure I am excited about the new premium suite and google now but the tablet is currently doing everything I need it to do so persoanlly I would counsel waiting until the official release.
Nah, bugger that....

"Hmm, but this means wipe of my device right?"
f you are rooted and use mobile ODIN you can update without loosing everything, just make sure cache/data wipe and dalvik are unticked before flashing. You may loose root and go back to stock recovery but flash CWM again and all is well with the world.... Just remember to run triangle away again to reset that pesky flash counter...
"How about flashing if you have an nt8010 would it cause problems???"
Not too sure about the 8010/8013 as there is the modem part of the software but apparently there has been a fix to disable this. Most people who own one of these units have posted it works well but I'm not gonna guarantee anything as I personally don't own one...

My bad typo 'know' should be 'no' I do not have any special knowledge about the release but I am guessing before the new year based on the
s3 JB release schedule and the incremental roll out of the N10.1 JB
So, yesterday I decided to upgrade my Android version from ICS to JB. I forgot to do a factory reset first, and now I can barely use the tab. I'm guessing it's laggy and slow because it has only 200~mb of space only. Buuut, the huge problem is that I can't reboot. The button for the last comfirmation is dead. I click it, but nothing happens.
Anyone had a similar experience? The device is not rooted.

I second quazmed's info.. Something went wrong with the install.. I'm guessing you upgraded through Samsung kies? Or did you get a notification to upgrade? Either way its a messed up system and you should use Odin to reflash the firmware.
Tip. If you just hold the power button long enough, the device will reboot that's true on any Samsung device I believe..

well, you can try without the .pit, if it dosent work do it again with, its simple. if you brick it, then use the 4..2.2 to uynbrick then try the other method, so no matter what its not a biggie.
