[Q] Regarding ROMs and firmware upgrade

Hey guys, I just upgraded my Galaxy Note N7k to the leaked official JB ROM, Build:N7000XXLS1. I wanted to ask that when the official firmware will be released, would I be able to upgrade to the official JB via OTA even if i am using the ROM? Or do I need to go back to Stock ROM and update it from there?
Kindly answer this question as I am quite confused.

In my opinion -NO.. you will have to go back to last official ics before you can update ota to official jb..

Ofcourse you will recieve the ota update of jb but i guess you may not get it as soon as the jb gets released
The updates will be released on the country basis and i guess it will be first released for germany
You will get the update when the update for your country gets released

I do not upgrade?

Hello guys! 2 days ago gave me the mini s3 ...! Checking .. I have seen that still has firmware 4.1.1 and baseband i8190xxall2! ..
I read that there updated firmware ... but connecting the cell to kies .. I do not detect any update ... and even through ota!

check if your carrier got the update, Italy might have gotten the update on certain carriers and yours might still not be on the list.

why you don't try to install it manually. ..I did the same way with my phone

Italy got 4.1.2 update (ITV)
But if you got your phone branded or sim locked there is still just 4.1.1
Vodaphone (OMN) 4.1.1
TIM (TIM) 4.1.1
H3G (HUI) 4.1.1

What version of GB you have? Maybe it is not from India, and that is why you do not have OTA update.

This JB (India I9070DDULP8) is in http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/
But I have runnig I9070XXLQE and works like a charm.

PC Companion not offering update for 4.2.2

I flashed my Xperia ZR from 4.2.2 to 4.1.2 (C5503_10.1.1.A.1.310_GLOBAL-LTE.ftf) found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2384512
But now the phone itself nor the pc companion software is not offering me an update to 4.2.2 firmware.
When I first got the phone then pc companion automatically offered an update to 4.2.2 but not anymore.
Is there an easy fix to get the OTA update working? thanks!

First of all, why did you flash from 4.2.2 back to 4.1.2??
Well... following the same thread in your link, you can manually flash it back to 4.2.2 when your OTA is not working.

i wanted to root 4.1.2 and then get it updated to 4.2.2 while keeping the root.
anyway i already have manually flashed to 4.2.2 but still waiting for a possible solution.
and i really would like to know the reason why C5503_10.1.1.A.1.310_GLOBAL-LTE.ftf did not offer me any updates.

You can follow the instruction in this thread -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2392865
No promises though!

Hi,
I have a ZR with the unmodified stock 4.1.2 firmware. PC companion still hasn't offered the 4.2.2 update for me. The customization region of my phone is generic Hong-Kong. Has anybody with the Hong-kong region got the update yet?

I had the Hong Kong version until a day ago I didn't receive the new update and couldn't be bothered waiting so was forced to try out flash tool and flash the Nordic version of 4.2.2
Sent from my C5503 using xda app-developers app

is it true that the pc companion never actually checks the actual firmware version of your phone but instead relies on the data stored in a server, which keeps record of your phones mac address and the latest upgrade done to that phone with that specific mac address?
since my first upgrade was from 4.1.X to 4.2.2 through pc companion then the server stored information stating that my phone with MAC address xyzc has been upgraded to 4.2.2 and wont offer any more upgrades unless something newer than 4.2.2 is released. even if i downgraded back to 4.1.2- according to the server's records my phone "was flasehd" and still "must be" using version 4.2.2.
atleast that is what i read somewhere

Anyone in India get the 4.2.2 update yet?

Try PC companion. As of yesterday I have tested the 4.1 versions of HK, RUSSIA, GLOBAL firmware to see which ones will receive 4.2 update. Only RUSSIA firmware updated to 4.2 via PC Companion.

Can you please let me know how to find out what firmware my phone has? I think mine was imported from Hong Kong but I'm not sure. I didn't even know there was a global version. There was a post somewhere with some service menu commands to list firmware but that was just a string of numbers, I could not tell that it was global or Nordic or hong Kong... Thanks!

And CM11 4.4 kitkat is out, but it's not a bugfree stock experience, and that's what I think the OP is asking for.

Just install a custom rom chances are it'll still be slow and laggy just like all other Samsung stock roms, once you go aosp/cm there's no going back to slow stock roms.

I really don't think all custom samsung roms are slow. Try The Galaxy Project. Not slow or laggy at all in my opinion.

Or u can just install a cm ROM then add in the touchwiz launcher then download the touch wiz theme from play store... There a "Sammy" ROM with latest software hahaha

A custom rom is made/contributed by 1, 2 or lets say a number of 10 developers. An official rom its created by an army of developers

How to root 4.3 firmware for GT-I9305?

I'm not sure but i guess that you could flash custom roms without losing your warranty.
When you want to restore your warranty just flash the stock 4.1.2 with odin.?
Not sure if this works.
Since the 4.1.2 version doesn't have KNOX.

Hello Mate I asked the Same Question and i have already read the same replies i got which doesn't answer your Question and will probably leave you frustrated.
There is a Leaked Roadmap on XDA which is Basically a very short list of when they expect the update to be released.
I can tell you it said November/December so it could be any day really.
I have been on Sam Mobile and they have Released 4.3 for our Handsets in Germany, Germany (Vodafone) and Spain (Vodafone)
I have asked the Question if these can be installed on a UK Handset and change the Language or if it wont work.
I hope this Helps answer your Question
