I was just curious to know that if i decide to root my phone will i be able to receive updates from rogers ? since the Android update is coming i don't want to hear that "i wont get it cause i rooted it".
Thank you
I'd have to say yes. I set mine back to the old 14 firmware and made sure it read 10a then did the official update. As long as the Rogers update is above the f/w you're installing IMO you'll be fine.

Stock means your phone is untouched, as it came from the manufacturer/provider.
OTA refers to the "Over The Air" updates which come from the manufacturer or provider. They are actually one and the same thing. You will receive a notification when an OTA update is available for your stock phone. You then download the update, and install it. Your phone is still stock, but running the latest version of the operating system.

Hey Guys,
Has anyone with the Build Devkit version of the phone seen the OTA update? I'm on Rogers in Canada and I understand the phone isn't from them but still wanted to know if anyone else has seen the update on their phones and if I should even expect to receive the update anytime soon.
Any idea if we're going to get the update at all or are we supposed to go through Navifirm and lose our data?
Thanks!!
Nokia is saying that unlocked and international phones will have to wait until February for the update. We have different firmware than everyone else and it's not on Navifirm at all. I think you might be able to flash to the rogers firmware but it may or may not work (and/or brick it). Might have to just wait until February .
That sucks.
You'd think that the Devkit units would get the update first but apparently not.
I guess I'll have to wait till Feb. Not willing to flash a Rogers firmware.
Thanks for the heads up!
Hi, has anyone received the Portico update for unbranded CV_GB OTA for eu_euro1_276?
I flashed the pre portico EE rom and the update appeared straight away, but when I flashed back to CV_GB pre portico rom the update does not show up so I'm assuming that the update for that variant has not been released yet.
Can anyone say otherwise?
unlocked devices seem to have not got the update yet, hang in there and you'll get it soon

It seems that most manufacturers are now doing the same thing, waiting for carriers to check their settings etc then rolling all the settings up into the unbranded rom. I did have a galaxy s3 and it was the same with jelly bean rollout. The unbranded rom came almost last! I think it's because in the past phone manufacturers rolled out unbranded updates first but if the settings for carriers were wrong it was the carriers that got it in the neck from customers!
Oh well I'll keep waiting, I know I could flash from ncs but I think I'll wait for ota. Im fed up installing apps again from scratch because for me backup only ever restores my text messages and nothing else?

how strange, no?
Okay I'm wanting to unroot my S3 since I never actually use any root features and I'd much prefer to receive OTA updates when they're finally pushed than have to Odin flash the latest version each time it's released. My problem is I can't for the life of me figure out what the latest firmware is. My phone is on 4.1.2 XXELLA which I thought was the latest since my cousins unrooted phone is also on that but now I've read that XXELLB and XXELLC are later versions. Can someone just tell me what the latest version is?

Thanks for that. Just plugged it into Kies and it shows the same software version as being available. It's willing to upgrade my phone despite it being modified. Is this recommended or should I avoid doing it?
Its fine to do it.
Any idea why my newly purchased (as of Friday, 8/9/13) would receive an OTA downgrade to 4.0.4? When I first received the device it was running 4.1.1, but I got an OTA this morning and figured I would accept it since I wasn't rooted, etc. It downgraded my device to 4.0.4 11c and now I can't get any updates. Is this a known problem? I've tried searching and I can't find any information about it.
Thanks
