Hey everybody. I have been running 4.4.2 for quite some time. Now I've decided I want to update to a newer version. I have seen a lot of issues with 4.4.3 and 4.4.4, and was curious if its worth updating. If it is I was wondering if there was a way to update without losing anything. I have the phone rooted, with Xposed and Franco kernel. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Flash a stock rooted zip as can be found in the resources section of the thread in my signature.. You don't lose data.

I rooted my friends relay a long time ago. Now he wants to update but it's saying he can't because the software is modified. I'm guessing this is because he is root. Any help on what to do? He has no clue how to do any of this and i am no longer near him

otherwise if he has older ICS and wanna update to jb 4.1.2, i dont know how to do this
He's on 4.1.2... That's the latest? I don't know if he will be able to figure out how to flash a recovery and flash a rom lol. Thanks for the info though

here is 4.3
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2463661
ChameleonOS is only one option for getting Android 4.3 on the Relay. CyanogenMod's 10.2 nightlies are now running 4.3.1, ChaOS is based on CM 10.2. Just letting you know of the options out there. No one has done any other images for our phone as of yet.
We are getting closer to some KitKat goodness and potential custom ROMs!
Looks like we will be going straight to 4.4.3, just need a timeframe, at least we have not been forgotten.

Sammobile is reporting it's going out OTA in the nordic countries. I'm reflashing the stock 4.3 to see, I'm in Denmark so maybe I'll get the update. http://www.sammobile.com/2014/07/24...laxy-s4-lte-gt-i9506-to-android-4-4-2-kitkat/
After flashing the stock ROM, my phone says "Your device has been modified. Software updates are not available." when I try to check for updates. How do I make the phone realise that it's running the stock rom?

Hey
Great. This is only a few hours old. I've been working in my garden. But why 4.4.2?
I crack myself up. They should have released 4.4.3. Never mind, now I just need a dump and some updated sources.
About your problem; this is Samsung in a nutshell, but I'll do my best to release a 4.4.2 kernel and system as soon as I can. Hopefully I'll be able to make it compatible with 4.2.2 and 4.3 bootloaders.
Stay tuned.
Regards.

According to SamMobile, Samsung has ignored our device. True, but why?
Ok, this is my personal opinion. The GT-I9506 is outstanding, making it a direct threat to the Galaxy S5. As you know, the S5 features a Snapdragon S801...just an overclocked S800. No magic in that. I can do the same, well to be honest...I already did for my own phone. It's a piece of cake to overclock. But the fact is, do we need it? For myself; nice to have but not need to have.
I'm pretty sure that we can do the same as the S5, and even more. But with the new S805, we WILL loose, no doubt about that.
Stay tuned guys, the game is about to begin.
Regards.

Sent from my GT-P5210 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Never mind completely over ya head. Thanks I know you all where trying to be helpful. But I was talking about kk that Samsung sends to my device not a Canadian version. I have had this for a year and there is not one stable rom. I want the kk that belongs on the tablet. Like I said nexus next time. I guess the wifi American one will be the last one. Lol
I am happy to see kk geting close. And even happier to have a group of friends that are giving 200% time to provide us what Samsung/Intel should have.
Never the less It is true Samsung and [email protected]#$%Ing Intel garbage had screw us all by no releasing a full Open Source than can be use to create CianogenMod or aosp. To make it worst Googles and Samsung new policies while implementing new updates is geting to a untolerated limit!
I too think this is the last device I purchase without first waiting for others report. Samsung lost my thrust.
I can't really see your point. As you know,the stock roms are bloated,slow and sometimes more unstable than the modded ones. As for the release for Kit Kat - Samsung seems to not really care for it's older devices,seeing how many more tabs they produced. Kinda strange to go out with a new version with the product every next year. To be honest, I think they should at least expand the lifespan of these tablets, It's not like they are really cheap or something. As for the hardware part of things,I think you should know that the 10.1 version is actually really different compared to the other two Galaxy Tab 3s, thus either making the release process slower since there are newer models on which they focus more. We should all be thankful that there are ambitious developers here and I'd even like to thank all of them for their hard work. For now - you should stick and help for the development rather than just wait. I hope I don't sound insulting or anything. I think that any help (bug reports,etc) would be appreciated.

Oh bro I am also talking about that only . See, there are different regions of every tablet. You must not be living in Canada. This tab has got 4.4 kk but In canada & not In your country. So , you will not be able to download kk by going to software update . You will have to download it from sammobile & flash it manually via odin . Please ubderstand this. I and a lot of other people are running Kitkat .

And additionally it is a very easy process to install the Canada version with Odin.
I am from Germany, have installed the Rom and so far no problems.
But for my opinion not a lot of differences to the former Rom.

on versions
@jason504
i believe any version will contain the same language support set, also version specificity only comes into play
with respect to cellular/gsm variants. for wifi only models it really doesn't matter. else there are still "after market"
methods for sorting out issues.

i don't believe it exist as an option on the touchwiz rom, however on the cm11 test it is very crashy.

When I got this tablet I thought Yes since I have been flashing roms on my phone for years here is something else I can flash roms on and have fun. Boy I was wrong I know they have a couple of stock roms but they ran worse than my stock rom. So I unrooted and said I will wait for Samsung to update my tablet to kk. I have been waiting and waiting it's just a big let down. But you live and learn my phone is faster than my tablet so basically all I use my tablet for is chrome cast. To be honest with you I don't even know if I will get another tablet for what. It's easier to just grab my phone. That's why I love big phones.
Just curious, I understand going back to stock, but why unroot? How can you stand all that bloatware?

Any Developers or people who's working or done with the lollipop 5.0 rom for infuse? I just want to experience the new material design.
They have said once beanstalk is ported they'd give it a go.
Sent from my XT907 using XDA Free mobile app
I'm working on it, could be interesting if we can use this kernel on our device
https://github.com/hak86/android_kernel_samsung_aries
since infuse has 2.6 kernel and required a lot of changes to make lollipop
I am unsure about specs but you might visit the Samsung Galaxy player 4.0 and 5.0 forums, they are at least same gen devices and I saw lollipop is built on it.

Is there any progress on Lollipop for the Infuse? Still using mine. Thanks.
Lollipop is a ram eater. I tried it on the razrm and it didn't go well. Wound up reverting to kitkat. I'm sorry but at some point even if you can, you shouldn't and I think all devs are realizing this.

I think people should just run the latest that's available, or get a new phone. A Moto E is 3 times the phone the Infuse is, and can be had for $30 if you buy it at the right time. Plus it runs Lollipop out of the box. Methinks trying to run 5.0 on a 4 yr old device is near impossible.

Hell i haven't seriously used my Infuse in over 2 years, i just like to see just how much it can handle, I was a bit surprised when it took KK. Now just waiting to see if it can handle Lollipop.
I picked up the S6 from Verizon over the weekend and without thinking I took an out of the box update that pushed the build to OF1. From what I have been reading there's no going back from this build. Is that true and would anyone know if someone is working on a method to root this new build or that will allow us to roll back to the old build to gain root?

Someone could be working on something. Probably won't know for sure until it's actually released, though. Until then you've just got to wait it out.

i picked mine up about a month ago, unwitting of the predistro of verizons aof1. i was really looking forward to rooting and beginning to work.
as such, im assuming, from lack of ability to load custom recovery, as well as not reload the baseband and have it stick, its pointless to try downgrading to the oldest stock? it bricks?
somewhat noob and would love a redirect to a better forum for this q if known.
