It depends on update.
If it's only minor update, usually it's possible.
But big OTA updates won't work.
You'll get notification and be able to download but it'll show error as soon as you try to flash it.
You can use flashtool

Didn't quite understood this...
But yeah...I'm 99.9% sure OTA will fail on this.
Try...you can't lose anything...if you see error msg, nothing bad won't happen.
Just download ftf amd flash it through flashtool, exclude all wipes and you'll be on 4.4 with all data and accounts...

[Q] Any idea how to get root access on 9.1.A.0.490 (LT25i Singapore)?

Hey Guys,
I've been trying to try to get a root on my LT25i on JellyBean.
Till date, I am unable to get root.
I'm looking at using my Carrier's stock firmware.
Build: 9.1.A.0.490
Carrier: M1, Singapore
Read the all in one thread.
Downgrade to ics, Root, then follow the instruction s to upgrade whilst keeping root

We can't use flash tool to downgrade cause its not supported! Any other suggestions??

Yes it is, just flash an ICS ftf

EDIT,
Sorry my mistake, now I am at my PC I can see you have a V.
In which case rooting is easy..just unlock you rbootloader and flash an insecure kernel.

This is confirmed working on the i537 AT&T leaked 4.3? Screenshots if you have please, just curious. I'm still on 4.2.2 stock w/ SafeStrap installed. Didn't really look into getting 4.3 leaked since only root methods supposedly had malware. :fingers-crossed:
Screens hots are borked in the leak but trust me in have already flashed a lock screen mod and can confirm it worked

Sweet deal, I'll check it out when I get a little free time off from work. I won't be able to get any OTA/Official updates from AT&T for my i537 anyways since I switched to Tmo last year. Locked BL sucks!

Look at my list of previous devices. All have been modded mainly with info from XDA. I have been my own guinea pig plenty of times, I assure you.
I'm not saying you cant...I discovered this worked for our device by going out on a limb a trying it. If I could get the ota I would have already tried.

If I could get the ota I would have tried by now if it worked on the leaked 4.3 it would lead me to believe it would work on official.

Many people have to wait much longer for the Update specially from Carriers. Just a little of patience. You will get it anyway but you have to wait.

Sorry. If you can't wait flash 290 CA generic in Z1 General thread and then hook up to PC Companion. You'll get the update.

If you are going to do that you may as well just flash a 4.4 ftf.

I didn't take that route due to the plethora of issues listed. Figured I'd get the update direct from the source.

Which kind of issues?
Read the thread in general. You name it. I'm not saying the ftf method caused them but many users have remedied them by factory resetting. I've also read that users updating via PC Companion have not experienced as many problems. Just a theory.

Right, just a theory. BTW, issues was reported form day 1 with any update like 4.3. Many of them was solved with a Factory Reset so it's not a news. It happen with the 4.4 as well, maybe more frequently, but I will recommend a Factory Reset after any Upgrade, even if there still no issues. Then I don't know what really stop you.

Update framaroot

Seen this app that can root phone easily without downgrading and any hard stuff that most of us don't want to risk so can anyone update that app so that it can root our 4.4 kit Kat update
Sent from my C6602 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
No. It doesn't work like that. A new exploit has to be found to root KitKat. It isn't just a matter of updating existing tools.
