Hey guys,
So I really want to upgrade my Rogers Samsung Galaxy Note II (SGH-i317M) to JB 4.3. I currently have JB 4.1.2. BUT, I'm currently rooted. I have used Framaroot to root my device and it's worked! When I get 4.3, I don't care if I have my data or not or if I'm rooted or not...
So my question is: Can I update through Kies? Will it brick?!
I'm pretty sure (and it is the case with my Galaxy SII) that Kies does not work with rooted phones. You may be able to unroot, update, then re-root.

I rooted my galaxy S2 I9100G on Android 2.3.6.
Can I update to Official ICS by clicking on option "Settings---> About phone----->Software Update" ?
No, You can't. The best way is flash ICS thru Odin. But then you must do the rooting process again.
Alright so i recently got a Galaxy S3 and rooted and flashed a leaked jellybean ROM onto it. Now that the official jelly bean has come out i want to update but i cant because kies says "Your device does not support software upgrading via Kies". so next i tried FOTA but that didnt work either: it said "Your device has been modified, software updates are not supported".
And of course i downloaded triangle away and that didnt work, ive tried flashing the official jelly bean update but it didnt boot so i was forced to restore from my modded backup. And ive re-installed kies twice.
any help would be appreciated.
my device is Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-I9300T with vodafone australia currently running the DLH9 hawkish premium light ROM.
Cheers.

I would think your best bet would be to go back to the Galaxy S3 ICS stock rom and then use Kies to update it from there. A lot of the official updates will refuse to do anything if /system has been messed with.

You could update you Rom on the official way.
Install Samsung kies on your pc and connect your device with the pc. Kies should guide you through the update.
You can also

If kies says that there is no update available it means that the ics update is probably not released in your country.
You could wait till its official available or take the unofficial way and flash a custom rom.
use unofficial ways like installing cyanogenmod.. the kies update comes with touchwiz wich sux for me.. dont know about you...
Ive recently updated my galaxy s blaze to 4.0.4 with firmware version UVMB1 and i really want to root my phone so i can delete the bloatware and flash some custom roms, my biggest issue is i cant seem to find a root guide that is compatible with my formware version.I came across a root guide that was for my phone, but it stated " Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4g T769 root for ICS UVLH5 firmware." I was basically wondering if i used this guide, would i brick my or cause serious damage to my phone ? Please help me cause im DYING to root this phone, and if i cant use this guide, what guide could i use that would be compatible with my firmware version. Thanks!!!!!!!

It works. Just did it. 4.0.4 is what's important there. Mine is brand new with uvmb1 & now it's rooted
I have the phone in the title on 4.04 and is unlocked and rooted. I would like to update the software, probably stick to official firmware to ensure maximum compatibility for the apps i am trying to develop.
So my question is how do I go about updating without losing any of my data? I am willing to unroot if necessary.
Thanks in advancve
