kies question

i am newbie to i9003. but i rooted it and applied lag fix,
its firmware is 2.2.1, do i need unroot and undo lag fix before upgrade to 2.3.5 via kies?

NO....
if you are not afraid flash it using odin...

Y update thru kies if you are goin to root?
Flashing via odin is better.
There is a flashing guide made by misledz, u'll easily find it. It's a sticky
Go thru it and if confused then post here again.
And no need for unroot and stuff

I didn't get your question, if ur asking whether gb has been officially released for India then it's No.

[Q] GT-I9003L update

Hi all! I'm trying to update my Samsung Galaxy S (GT-I9003L). It's rooted.I get an OTA update but when I try to apply it, it says "Kernel verify fail. Update fail"
My current firmware version is 2.3.6, my baseband is I9003LUBKPD, my kernel version is is 2.6.35.7-CL765780 [email protected] #1 and my compilation number is GINGERBREAD.UBKPE
I think the problem has to do with the phone being rooted. I unrooted it using the clockwork mod recovery menu, but it didn't work either.
Is there anything I could do?
Thanks!!!

Its giving that error because u r rooted.
Rooting changes your kernel.
And even after unrooting ur device from recovery the kernel remains the same.

So, does it mean I'm out of luck?

No.
U may flash stock rom.
And later from settings u may update ur phone.

Is there a way to just restore the recovery kernel without flashing the whole rom?

(I tried to find the answer before asking but I haven't been able to) Do I need to flash the full stock rom? Or is there a way to just restore the stock recovery kernel? I'm asking because when I rooted I just flashed the PDA file to the phone, but I'm still using the stock rom.
And... is there any guide or tutorial to do this?

-Removed for Personal Information-

I have one way to help.
Keep the stock fw file on sdcard and then by using mobileOdin, select kernel and choose the rom file.
And dont forget to uncheck the rooting options at bottom.
But be sure you have a backed up ur current rom.
As i m not sure if it will definitely work or not.

just flash the entire stock firmware if you want to get OTA

Help about flashing

Hi!!!i want to ask
1.Is there any difference in updating latest firmware via kies and flashing latest stock firmware provided at samfirmware/samsung-updates???
2.do flashing stock also require clearing data like custom firmwares???
Pls reply...thanx...
Sent from my GT-P3100 using xda app-developers app

The answer to 1. Is that kies is an official update where as sammobile is considered to be unofficial updating. As for question 2. I can't answer that one I'm still quite new to all this myself.

Yes. The veterans always recommend a "clean" flash when switching ROMs, even when going back to stock.

What to do... what to do...

I did not make a nandroid of my stock system (30 lashes with my own strap). Consequently I've been looking for the stock firmware to download. It is apparently only available through hotfile.com and I can't complete a download (been trying all day). Does anyone have stock jellybean for the gt-p5113 that can pm me to make arrangements to share through dropbox or something.
Thanks
Edit: I'm in the USA so I need what seems to be the general version.

Bro its not necessary that you flash original firmware!!!
Go to development section and download a Rom say ripper Rom.
Its good and flash it via cwm recovery!!!
And if you do not have recovery installed than install it.that will take 5 minutes at max
Enjoy.

I realize this is kinda ocd but I'm really upset that I didn't make a nandroid before I flashed cm10.1. Consequently, if I ever need to return my tablet to Samsung I can't revert it to stock. I'm just trying to get a working copy of the firmware (jellybean for gt -p5113 USA version) to have on hand. I'd like to try other roms but I want the ability to revert to stock first.

Bro first flash any Rom,you can download that as file hosting sites for them are good.so you get your device working.
And later when you get stock firmware via hotfile just simply flash that.

Thanks it's working fine with CM 10.1. I'm just being a little crazy about not having the backup and trying all day without getting a download. I suppose it will eventually download if I keep trying. Sorry for the bother. ( and I'm not a bro I'm a grandma LOL)

No reason to start 2 threads on the same topic. Mods will most likely close one of them. Hotfile is as good as it gets. I suggest you check your internet connection. Downloading by phone is not the best way. And if you use a pc then make sure your computer does not go to sleep before the download is finished. Almost all the files in the links I gave are US. Cellular South is Mississippi. Not sure what the XAC region code is.

I'd be happy for them to close both! I feel dumb for even asking. I'm still trying the download... if it fails again I'll try on my PC. Thanks for your help!!!

[QUESTION][HELP]p3100

Hello!!!good day to all
I have a p3100 runing an OTA v4.1.3
And i just want to root it so i use P3100_CWM-6.0.2.7_SUPERSU-0.99_BUSYBOX-1.20.tar.md5
I flash it using ODIN via pc
Everything works fine except
1. v4.1.3 become 4.1.2
2. One battery(root) when i lock my phone it turn to black and when i unlock it there is no response..so i nee to reboot it again(so i just uninstall it)
3.when i try to update it via OTA..the responce is device modified
I use triangle away and it works also fine except
1.when updating OTA i take 12 hours checking for update and after 12 hours the responce is always checking for update..i just quit updating
My question is will i be able to recieve OTA update again?
Im stuck on 4.1.2 while my device before is 4.1.3?
Ps. Can someone provide me a flashable 4.1.3 using ODIN pc...
Thank you
Sent from my GT-P3100 using xda premium

Edit: err wait sorry those were for p3113, the p3100 should boot 6.0.2.7.
So, you flash recovery 6.0.2.7 and it won't boot into recovery after you flash with Odin?

Done flashing 6.0.2.7 OTA update still takes long time and same as checking for update for long period of time so i stop quit updating

There was never 4.1.3. And if there was root cannot "downgrade" it. And you dont need to use OTA updates. Just look on samsung-updates.com and check for updates.

Well, you saw wrong.

No 4.1.3 here.

No 4.1.3 was ever made.

Well if you want to recieve OTA updates you must flash a stock frimware intended for your country like if you are in USA flash A USA frimware !!
All flashing methods of stock roms are involved into odin a special program to flash samsung devices !!!

Try this http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/
Remember if you want to download any firmware you must be member of SamMobile. Just sing up and download.
Download file is in zip archive you must extract the folder in this folder you have something like xxxxxx.tar.md5 use this firmware to flash.
