Can I upgrade android on my 702 please?
(I'm in UK)
And if so would it be an improvement or worth doing I've previously had the Samsung upgrades on galaxy phones... I'm not a techy by the way, so go easy
Oh if I can upgrade somehow will it wipe my phone clean... Don't want that... Thanks very much

Hi guys, I was wondering if there was any Telus 4.0.4 updates for the S2X and how would I install it. I am fairly new to this flashing and rooting stuff. I'm just afraid I may brick my phone and.. of course nobody would want that since that pretty much sucks.
I found some 4.0.4 ROMs or something for Koodo and T-Mobile S2Xs but I'm looking for one for my Telus phone and how would I install it. Just to be more brief, my phone is unlocked by the way.
Thanks for any replies.
I've a Galaxy S3 locked to T-Mobile UK. Model number is GT-19300, currently running Android 4.0.4.
T-Mobile UK have removed the OTA update functionality and i'm impatient, and want to upgrade to JellyBean.
I'm fairly new to all of this, but have some experience of rooting and flashing from an old HTC Hero.
I don't want to change to a differently themed ROM and don't care for all the different features that rooting would bring to the phone. I would just like to flash the bog-standard Samsung UK S3 ROM so I don't have the T-Mobile OTA update lock on there.
Is this possible to do? To restore the phone to an unlocked state, capable of obtaining updates without all the bloatware T-Mobile will put on when they finally release their JellyBean update. If so, i'd appreciate it if somebody could point me in the right direction of a ROM.
Apologies if what i'm asking isn't clear, as I say, i'm fairly new to it all!
Many thanks.
The other day I let the Samsung Company lead me when they said there was an update for my phone. Thinking that I would enjoy the lovely 4.0 ICS as a change from the Nice 2.3.6 GB. I let Samsung talk me into flashing my alltel phone. Low and behold they gave me a USC flash to replace my current Alltel network. This is the first time doing something this drastic to my cellphone and now I don't have any data communication on my phone. Does anyone know where I can find an alltel gingerbread flash for the Galaxy S2 SCH-R760. I've searched (what I feel as) Everywhere and can't find anything. My phone is only 2-3 months old so I would prefer not to root it.

I am trying to root.. I also have Alltel Samsung Galaxy S II 4.52 inch Model SCH-R760.. It's also running stock Gingerbread 2.3.6, and since there won't be any OTA Official updates for this particular model, I am going to try to root and update to ICS or Jellybean.. I have looked at several forums, and I have never root before.. Yep I'm a NOB.. Can anyone help me, who has this device and successfully rooted..
Of course I would rather not root, but to the best of my knowledge, it's the only way I will be able to get ICS or Jellybean..
Hello everyone, I'm new here so if this is in the wrong place forgive me. I am interested in getting a samsung galaxy s2( im with tmobile if that is important) and updating to the latest version of android. Is that something that is possible for someone who is not knowledgeable in hacking a phone to any degree? If needed, I suppose I can find someone who knows what they are about and pay for the OS update. I just want to know if it would be worth it to buy the galaxy s2 and even try to update the software. In short, I don't need the latest and greatest in terms of hardware, but I did want the latest android version. Thanks in advance.

Hi
Samsung galaxy s2 is worth the buy but unfortunately its stuck with the 4.1.2 jellybean update officially
However you can always get the latest android version using custom roms
I am runing the latest android 4.3.1 version using the cyanogenmod 10.2 custom rom without any problems(t mobile variant also has the latest cyanogenmod 10.2)
And the advantage of the custom roms are they are way better than stock roms that come with the phone and have unlimited tweaking options
You can always do it yourself cause it is so easy and you can find many tutorials here in the xda forums and you can also find someone who deals with the custom roms and get you with the latest update
Good day
Hi
I just purchased a brand new G930A, at a very good price I might add, and got it running on T Mobile. The firmware is old (6.0.1) and has had no security updates in a while. No updates seem to be available from ATT. I would like to root it and update everything to T Mobile (7.x.x) standard. I am not really looking for a custom rom unless there is a real benefit. Can someone direct me to a good, tried and true, step by step method for getting this done? All the way from unlocking, and rooting to flashing a rom. Just Foolproof is good enough, it doesn't need to be Damn Foolproof. Last phone I rooted (Droid Maxx) was about 5 years ago so I need some re-education. A link to a good thread would really help.
Thanks
John
