Hi there i recently bought a Samsung galaxy Nexus unlocked, build ITL41F.I9250XEKK9 its an att docomo phone that i bought off amazon.
Anyway when i go to search for updates it says the phone is up to date and there are no new updates and i'm currently running android 4.0.1.
I did seach google, but i really no nothing about roms and flashing devices so i didn't really understand much.
By the way the first time i connected the phone to wifi it updates the phone but it only did this once. The current version is ITL41F don't no what it was before the update.
Can someone help me or give me a guide to how to update my galaxy nexus ITL41F to a new version of ICS. By flashing the device and using an official ICS rom.
Any help greatly appreciated.
any help anyone?
Same problem here
I've got the same problem here. It installs a "system update" periodically but I'm still suck on 4.0.1. My build # and purchase location are the same. Did yours come bootloader unlocked, i.e., do you see the padlock icon when you first turn on the device? Unfortunately I didn't figure out what the padlock icon meant until it was too late to return it to Amazon.
I'm starting to get worried that someone sold me a hacked firmware that is sniffing my passwords...has that ever happened?
I have a verizon samsung s3 thats rooted and unlocked. For severel weeks i have been prompted to upgrade my device but every time i try it starts then stops about a quarter way thru and shows a dead android guy laying on his back. My phone restarts just fine with the old software still installed. I have looked for the officail jelly bean 4.1.1 rom so i can install it. But cant find it. Only can find custom. Can anyone point me to a official rom download or tell me how i can get my phone to just do it thru the update on my phone. Why is my phone having problems updating anyway. Im guessing it because of it being rooted or unlocked. Thank you for the help!!!! MY PHONE INFO!!!!! SCH-I535 ANDROID VERSION 4.0.4
There is no official Jelly Bean ROM yet. The update it just a different modem and some security updates. I would just flash a custom recovery and install a JB ROM.
Hi all. I'm new to the Android & I don't have the USB cable at the moment so I'm willing to update it manually. I bought this S3 from Craigslist in great condition. However, I can't seem to update it without service because when I tried to, it says, "Service Unavailable." In the androidcentral forum, they said I have to find the official firmware for my phone, rename it to "UPDATE" then put it on my SDCard root and then boot it into recovery mode so it can automatically update, but however, I can't seem to find my baseband version which is I535VRLHE.
I've looked everywhere for this firmware to no avail. Can anyone here provide me the link to a website that has my baseband? I need to update it in order for my phone to be unlocked with GSM. I'm running on a 4.0.4 right now and wanting to update it to Jelly Bean.
PS: Phone is not rooted and I don't want to root it either

Knox has nothing to do with why you're not getting the update. If you want it now, go to sammobile.com and download the full tar file for nk4 and install with Odin. This will update your phone and all settings and data will still be intact. If you don't want to do that, you will just have to wait until Sprint releases the update to your serial number.

I rooted mine with Towelroot and then Deleted it. I can"t do the OTA for the 4.4.4. I Tried with the KIES and still no avail. So all I need to do is download the Tar file and it should work?
When i restored mine with kies3. The device status changed from custom to offical. Maybe you modded files that arent restored with kies?i did factory restore and cache wipe before kies.

I've acquired a note 10.1 (GT-N8010) on 4.1.2 and when I try to do software update is says "your device has been modified"
I'm guessing that it's been rooted but it's not rooted now. Can i get this to update at all?
TIA

If you are trying to do the update via OTA, this might be your problem. Hook it up to your pc and use Kies and it should update it up to lollipop 5.1.1 for you. If this doesn't work, you might do a search on here on how to download the firmware and use an app called Odin to manually update it.
