Apologies for what looks like a simple question but I'm having real trouble finding the answer on how to upgrade my stock Samsung Galaxy S Advance which seems to have a firmware that isn't listed on this site under the usual 'guide' threads...
Model: GT-I9070P
PDA: I9070PBVLF1
Phone: I9070PBVLF1
CSC: I9070PORALF1
Kernel: 2.6.35.7-I9070PBVLF1-CL1155037 [email protected] #2
Carrier is Orange UK (Orange are now called EE if that makes a difference) - this is the bit that is causing me problems - the CSC is ORA. I can find TMU (T-Mobile) but not ORA...
Currently running Gingerbread 2.3.6 but my aim is to upgrade to JellyBean if I can find any of the correct images!
I've tried using SuperOneClick, Motochopper-SuperSU and SRSRoot to unlock the phone but with no luck.
Any help would be greatly appreciated,
Thanks!
You did not get update via Kies? Or OTA? Did you ask your provider? Phone is simlocked to provider? I am not sure, but I think that caused problems if you try some other firmware (install with Odin). That what you have been trying is to root phone, and that has nothing to do with JB.

I've fully updated my phone using kies but this is still only gingerbread, jellybean is apparently not released yet for my model.
My phone also does not get OTA updates
I haven't tried asking my provider, I guess I could go into a store and ask.
I was trying to root my phone as it seems to be the first step in all the guides I've read.

You can flash JB firmware with Odin. You do not need root for that. But I am not sure how simlocked phone will react on that. Searc. For it or find someone with simlocked phone and ask. I can't tell you do it, and after that you maybe have some problems.

Ah okay thanks for the info. I'll go into the store and see what they say. After that I'll see how brave I feel!

Do not flash I9070 firmware, if you are going to flash. Just I9070P, otherwise you will hardbrick phone.

more over sammobile doesnot show any OTA updates as well after DDLR9
havent seen that as of yet, but advised is to use mobilebodin, flash kernel of rom your rocking, then hope ota update goes well and you maintain root so you can mobile odin the kernel of choice back.
Also if not already done, bit unrelated but make efs backup and safe on and off the phone

I would suggest let out go.. Don't update.. As the update doesn't add any new features.. You well loose root if you update visa kites.. I was on ddlr 9 with philz kernel too.. Updated visa kies.. Lost root..

My Dad has the original unlocked Note, and I'm wondering how I can update to the official Jelly Bean without rooting or voiding warranty, as it isn't showing up in the OTA menu.
Open Samsung kies and Let it download the update or go to settings and update via OTA
Let me know if you have issues with this we will walk you through it
I've tried updating via both Kies and in About Phone, both places say that it's the most recent firmware available.
OK you are on a version that hasn't received the OTA yet.
You will have to install it via PC Odin.
Go to Dr.ketan's sticky thread for step by step instructions.

Hey , Im also trying to update to 4.1.2 but im kinda stuck cause i have the eMMC brick bug (You get it when you update to 4.0.4) can you tell me what you did or if you run into any errors and how to fix it cause im totally new and dont know what to do :/ and yeah i think the difference is that you wont get OTA updates i think
1. I have the International version of GT-N7000
2. All official until I manually updated to XXLSA JB 4.1.2 using Odin (I cant wait for official to come via OTA thats why)
3. Now I cant use Kies as it says it dont recognize it (you know what i mean)
4. I dont care about kies enyway.
My question is, can I,
1. Let say remove this XXLSA ROM and go back to Stock (i think its ICS or something)
2. Then I will try to update it via OTA again. where in I'll be getting the Official JB then.
3 I just want to go back all official ROM again thats it.
anyone...please help....
Flash the stock ROM via Odin.

Since I am in Dubai I assume of course I will get those from United Arab Emirates. Will any of the stocks work? Like ICS or Gingerbread? Btw this N7000 is not rooted. I just dont want to mess up. Thanks

I put the link in my post. Download the stock firmware for region and flash in Odin. Click on the link that I gave you, and read very carefully on how to do this and you will be fine.

YES, if you flash back to stock ICS, you will get official OTA again. You can also visit sammobile.com and download and flash stock JB 4.1.2 which is now available for almost every region. This will put u on stock rom and do not root if you want to get OTA update.
If I helped you please press "Thanks", and if you helped I will do the same

Actually, you can root your phone and still receive OTA updates, as long as you don't flash a custom kernel/recovery.

i checked sammobile and its surprising that all versions of my Stock ROM are from GERMANY, even though i bought my phone here in United Arab Emirates, there i saw N7000XXLPY >N7000XXLRG>N7000XXLRK>N7000XXLRQ>N7000XXLRT>N7000XXLSA which i remember all my previous ROMs and the latest one is N7000XXLSZ which im downloading now.
should i use the old version of Odin I have or it should be the latest one?

I'm not sure about that. I don't think it would matter. Although I would feel better with the up to date version. Someone else may know better than me.

Try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2100642
And after that try to flash indian JB.
Not sure if it will fix it, but you can try.
Or you can use Indian JB firmware which is ddulp8. Either way using other region firmwares doesn't really effect anything except some cases of xxlqg(lux..I think) have problem when roaming and old china firmware which causes hardbrick.
