Hey there,
I just got a Samsung Galaxy S Relay and I am trying to figure out if I should upgrade it to Jelly Bean and which version.
The phone is not rooted, I am a newbie and I do not have a custom rom in there.
Before I do this, can I go back to ics if I don't like jb for some reason?
thanks so much

you should unlock it while on stock ics (read this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2255892 - method works only on ics) and then you may update to stock jb/root/custom rom.
there is cyanogenmod 10.2 custom rom - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2405310 - or you can use stock, root it and debloat.
yes, it is possible to revert to stock ics.

Thank you for that. I think I am too new to try a custom rom and root. I can suffer with the bloat because unlike the captivate, this phone, w a keyboard, has 4 gb for apps. on the captivate it had about 1.5 gb for apps after the os was installed. i really don't know what a custom rom is, really.
i watched a video comparing the jb to the ics and my 4.0.4 ics appeared to have almost all the improvements of the jb, so i don't know what the pros or cons would be upgrading to the jb, (I assume the latest jb version)
the last thing i want to do is slow my phone down, ruin battery life, or reduce my app space etc so i am just trying to get a feel for the pros of doing something like this.
ps i did hear it would make my phone faster....

the latest stock is jb 4.1.2
i do not know if stock jb is faster than stock ics as i have no experience with stock ics. cyanogenmod is faster than stock, but i use debloated stock jb anyway.
bloatware running in the background can slow down the phone.
I haven't done this in a while so could use some help. I'm currently rooted on Jb 4.1.2 sungsonic HD by adi. My model # says it's on gt-p3100 but I'm sure it really is gt-p3113. Question is can I just flash a new 4.4.2 or 4.4.4 rom or do I have to do something with Odin before I could start flashing Kitsap rooms? Thanks for any help

You need to first and foremost determine the exact model# of your tab. After that you will need to update your recovery to the absolute latest whether its CWM, TWRP or Philz and them you can flash one of the new KK 4.4.x ROMs of your choice. The big thing for you is the correct model# Get that wrong and its all down hill from there. Get your new recovery from here:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2548257 After that grab any ROM They are all great IMHO. Good Luck
Thanks. I got it to work yesterday with help from Android andi
Quick question. I can get a good deal on a Galaxy Note Tab 10.1 that is running 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. It's a wi-fi version, no carrier. Will I be able to update to a newer OS such as Jelly Bean or KitKat? I should be able to just update over wifi, correct? Thanks - Dan

IMHO, exept for the N8013 you get OTA/Kies updates up to 4.4.2. If you have a N8013 OTA 4.1.2, for 4.4.2 you can flash Gnabo V7 4.4.2 which by the way is much better than stock.
It is a GT-N8013 running ICS. It can be updated then to Kit Kat, without rooting? This would be for my wife as a gift, she doesn't like all that "tinkering" like I do on my phones, LOL.

The N8013 (i have the same) can be updated to 4.1.2 via OTA o Kies. There is no KitKat for this model, and i do not think there will be. Samsung forgot about it. If you want KitKat 4.4.2 than you have to flash a custom ROM which requires a Custom recovery and for that SuperSU and root. But it is worth it. The Gnabo 4.4.2 ROm is amazing, free from Bloatware and running like Speedy Gonzales Its easy to do.

This is not totally true.. You can flash FACTORY Stock rom for the n8010 to this device. Its totally stock Rom with the Boot- loader removed so it does not Alter the ability to go back. THE N810 IS The same device only its sold internationally. this is the base firmware of gnobo rom...
OP this is your best bed right here to keep as close to stock . She will be with this rom

Yes, forgot about that possibility.
I would like to hook her up with a smooth running, no bloat ROM. I realize it's been gone over in some of the other 1000+ page threads but what does the Gnabo ROM give me over the stock ICS?
hope this helps..

Reasons to update
android 4.2
Samsung 2014 apps. including the new s-note Calender email and Others my mind slipped
Removed a Bunch of crap wear. and Useless apps.
Custom recovery where you can do full backups (can root without updating rom)
Moved Notifications to top Like on phone ( i really love this)
I think its a Bit faster then 4.1.2 stock rom.
You can rum 4.2 AND above only apps.
I am sure there are more
Reasons to not update
The new Multi window ui Kinda sucks. But it does work.
Prob more but for me its functioning file
You will no longer get Factory updates.. (ohh wait Samsung ditched us anyway)
Sounds like Gnobo rom would be best for you . But you read the forums and decide for yourself...
I would go for Gnabo Rom, and if you know what you do flash Boefflas Kernel. Top combination.
Would this ROM still be an improvement over 4.1 Jelly Bean? I was mistaken, it is a GT-N8013 running 4.1 JB.

as i said two post up. I listed pros cons for me... I Like the 2014 note pro apps better then the old s- note and note2013 apps..
you can always root it . Install a custom recovery do a anand backup in custom recovery to external sd card.
install the rom and try it.. if you do not like Restore your backup.. You are way WAY Over thinking this simple solution.. Hope you do not mind me saying so..
Hi All
Just little advice required if you can help.
Had my GT-N8010 for maybe 3 years now and not done any flashing for a long time.
Currently running custom rom Android revolution HD9.0 which is 4.1.2
Have got hold of N8010XXUDNE4_N8010BTUDNF1_BTU_N8013.tar which i believe is offical stock rom?
Can i just flash this with ODIN and will it work ok.
Will it update the bootloader for KitKat ??
Thanks
