[Q] Update to ICS

Hi Guys,
I am updating my SGR for the first time, I had some queries, so if some one would answer, I would be really thankful.
Official ICS update is not for my country, so how should I take backup so that I don't lose my warranty.
Also which version of ICS is better, Nordic one or Austria or anyother country?
Also can you please help me with how to update like which software to use to install ICS, like someone was saying odin and others?
Thanks, Your help will be greatly appreciated

Buddy, A Very Warm Welcome to our Forum. For your queries Here is the answers:
1) Official ICS update is not for my country, so how should I take backup so that I don't lose my warranty.
A: ICS is announced to world by Samsung, so flash this wont loose any warranty but yes, rooting may be.
So, If you would flash Official ICS from Sammobile then no need to worry
2) Also can you please help me with how to update like which software to use to install ICS, like someone was saying odin and others?
A: you can install it using ODIN 3.07V - here is the procedure: Click Here for everything you need
3) Also which version of ICS is better, Nordic one or Austria or anyother country?
Approx, all versions are same except bloatwares providing by them. Few might be extra features then flash the latest one.
In the last, We have Q/A thread it doesn't mean every 2nd thread would be asking HOW to or From Where I can flash ICS.
Use Search option in thread. Coz every question you have asked, already been resolved earlier. There need to search only. Lil bit time taken, but good for our forum.

Thanks Kataria and Nilesh, So if I just update the firmware, I wont be losing any warranty.

Better Take CWM backup before updating to ICS, So if you have problem then you can revert back to GB easily.....

Yes...
mj is right...
there are cases when you downgrade..you tend to stuck on boot loop or on Samsung screen..
so the best way to downgrade is simply restore your cwm backup and then reflash the stock firmware..

Thanks MJ and Vipul

Can someone please provide the link of how to backup using CWN?
Do I need to root to backup using CWN?

Flash CWM first and take backup, Root is not required for it....
Download any version of CWM from the below link and flash it using ODIN.

Hi, What should I add to pda section?
CWM: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?u98qal9rxwwvud0 (or)
ODIN: http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?50bkbbtblok3b02

ODIN ie pda section always takes .tar file.
Thnx!

Thanks, Actually It was not moving forward so I disconnected and now phone is not opening up, Should the tar file be the one of ICS nearly about 650 mb for galaxy R

Yep the size is going to be that much....and have patience, the flashing process takes time.
Thanx!

Actually the situation is I have 2.3 installed in my Galaxy R, and want to update to ICS, so first i need to flash, but in pda section of odin, should i put 2.3 tar file or ics tar fiile?

I think you can. you can get OTA updates. but maybe after OTA update you lose root, or maybe not.
but if you install custom rom I think you can't
but that's ok too. you can get the latest original firmware from sammobile . com and flash it then you have the latest stock rom and it can get ota updates
I don't think OTA updates are related to KNOX. so don't worry
and no you can't reset knox. but developers are working on it.

thanks i think i have got my answer after reading some posts in other froums and you are right i always can download the new version from samsung :highfive:

i want to root my n9005 ,
did heared anythings about KNOX ? is that important in iran to reset knox ?
cause there is just one way the reset knox counter after rooting your phone and the way is : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2498850 De La Vega ! @Peyman92 , i think u can't use OTA anymore and you have to flash the new update by odin " from now on " !
is there anybody here that has been checked the de la vega before ?

sorry , i don't know why my post inserting double !!

If your device has warranty then maybe they check knox.
I got my phone from digikala and it had only 7 days warranty, So I kept it stock first week and then rooted it.
if your device doesn't have warranty so just flash and have fun.
and for ota, I unlocked my galaxy nexus before, but then I flashed google factory image and it got ota updates even it was unlocked.
So it's the same, doesn't matter if you tripped knox or not, once you flash stock image with odin, then after that you can get ota.
knox is there to know if you have flashed a custom thing or not.

I don't think it's a sim problem. Have you tried other sim?
It looks like a bad flash or sth. If you're on custom rom, reflash it using full wipe. Don't forget to update baseband and bootloader to kk too.
If you're on stock, just do a factory reset.

thank u mate
i tried all the way , wipe , factory reset , clean install... but the porblem still persist on both custom and official rom 4.4.2 with NA6 baseband.
i searched on google and have found same problem for other guys on htc , LG ...
i have to wait for UAE official 4.4.2 or another country with the same baseband , like " Nordic countries "
i don't have any extra micro sim by my own right now so i decided to ask this question

[Q] How can I flash a different country firmware?

Hello guys!
I like cm roms very much,but I can't flash any cm 11 rom because my phone is from china, Samsung have update your phone to 4.2.2,but not the devices in china. As you know,cm 11 won't work on 4.1.2. I fell very very sad about this:crying:.
I try to flash a different country Firmware(4.2.2) through odin3. but it did't work.I know your phone can do this.....:crying: I just want to know why? Is it because my phone's bootloader is locked?
Many friends of mine are also want to flash cm 11....but we can only use cm10.1......:crying:
Baseband:
I9105pzcami1
Andriod vertion:
4.1.2
PLZZ help me and my friends....
(PS:sorry for my bad English)

Have you tried flash cm 11 directly from 4.1 bootloader??,may it works most dev write on their op to use 4.2 bootloader, but none tried and tell us may it works too with 4.1bootloader
Edit#
Or you mayvtry this cm10.1 build from @LuK1337 which stabler and more fluid, say thanks to him
https://mega.co.nz/#!w4dUCDDD!NhEHBT9Uo8ZPAmkPVNOamzSCmaTf4sqQWzBpnt1K0uI

You should only flash "PDA" and not have the "Re-partition" option ticked. For flashing official firmware, follow the guide here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2428753
Also, flashing Note2 firmware on an S2 Plus is probably not a very good idea.

oh ,I‘m so sorry,I think my poor English makes you misunderstood,the screenshot isn't of mine...I mean my case is just similar to the picture,I'm sure I flashed a s2vep rom..I tried just flash PDA too...I think it is because my phone's bootloader is locked that what makes the failure..:crying:
I have tried many many methods according to the internet....someone said that I should use mobile odin pro app,but this app won't work in s2vep...I almost feel desperate about this ,I think it's time to buy a new phone...
PS:I can successfully flash an offical 4.1.2 rom...

It's impossible...download 4.2 official stock firmware...use the link given by AmoledIsBetter, follow steps, make sure u use the right firmware for ur phone (P version or no P version), and if something goes wrong come here with screenshots from ODIN. If all its OK u can flash CM11 easy...

Never heard of a locked bootloader on a S2 Plus.
Silly question maybe, but are you using the correct Samsung USB drivers for your PC? Did you flash CM 10.1 from the same PC previously?
Which 4.2.2 file are you trying to flash? I know that many have flashed I9105PXXUBNG1 from Germany.
Is your device genuine Samsung?

I think you are still factory locked. (Still locked to a carrier)

Something I read in a thread in past couple of days is that if it's a Chinese handset they can have their own drivers, so search for them, rest of the world drivers may only part work.
