I appreciate an input on this. Updated my current ROM to 4.4.3 which is on firmware 2.21.605.2.I keep seeing people say you have to take the OTA ( if unlocked, S-0ff) to have new radios. If my ROM is on the new firmware do I still flash the new firmware zip?
Thank you

What ROM are you using? If you flash a custom ROM it does not update the firmware. I suggest reading this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2723159

Thank you for your help so far. One more question can I use Flashify to flash the zip?
Thank you again for helping
Edit: Read more. Has to be done via fastboot

No, you wouldn't be able to use flashify as you'd need to be in RUU mode. It's really simple and the directions are pretty straightforward.

the only way i know is the recovery thing btw my phone isn't rooted ,r there any other easier methods?
thx in advance
All depends which phone you have.
There are a few methods, but they are all about the same difficulty. Read one of the stickies* on how to root your phone, then you can use clockworkmod recovery (available from the Android market) to flash whatever ICS ROM you like. I'm using Mark Vis' version.

You can update to ics without rooting by just downloading the ota update and using the built in recovery to flash it. But you have to have the same phone Google sent the update for. I think it was the t-mo version.

R you for real? Lol. Yes bro it is. If you have any questions getting thru the process.
I thought this would be easy and it probably is, but I'm getting a little nervous because I'm new to all of this.
I haven't even flashed the firmware because I'm waiting for my SD card but what is the problem with the red letters? Is that something I should be concerned about?

No nothing to worry about at all. Purely cosmetic. No need to be nervous its really easy...do you have working and/fastboot on PC? Then you don't have to wait for sd card. Myself I only fastboot

Yeah I do. So the red letters are cosmetic. Cool with that then. I also saw a couple of people having problems with their radios after the update. I wonder what happened with them.

There's just alot of jargon to wade through.

GPS won't lock after I updated to 4.4.4 using RKDN Rom. I use GPS fix deluxe from the Play Store which usually locks right away. I flashed back to clean rom 4.4. 3 and I got a lock right away. Anyone else having an issue with this?

You're running Optipop, a custom rom, and Uber, a custom kernel. You're going to have to update manually. You're not tied to that rom/kernel but it's a good combo.

Thanks how do i update manually? Sorry for all the questions

You can`t if you have have a custom rom, recovery, kernel and changed the system. You have to be full stock and made no alteration in any way to the system.

Oh ok,thanks. Anyway to go back stock or should i leave well enough alone?

You can always flash the full 5.0.1 factory image, but if you`re happy with your current rom just leave it as it is mate

Did you tried the n915A, Is vodafone, but in many places I read both are the same.
PS:
What is the status of the phone...Boot on recovery ? Don't boot at all... Bootloop ??
I asked in the MOAR q&a thread but realized it's a generic question that does not generally pertain to the ROM. After the new stock update Odin is useless to flash any thing because it blocks any flashing at the bootloader. Is there any way to go stock if I haven't backed up anything? I'm currently running on the new update base and have MOAR speed racer flashed. Thank you for any help
Any fixes yet same thing I just ran into. I haven't used stock in so long I had no idea you couldn't go back

What version are you on now? As of PK1 firmware, you cannot flash back to a previous version, you would need PK1 or newer to go back to stock.
