Hello,
I'm new to Android world so wondering how to upgrade it from one version to another.
I've a device having Honeycomb and would like to upgrade it to Jelly Bean at least.
Does anyone know where to download Android Jelly Bean from and what it takes to upgrade it?
Thanks
Anyone?
What are the Android upgrade steps?
Can you do the upgrade yourself ?
Thanks

It needs a Custom Recovery & a Custom ROM(JB or Above) To Upgrade, Search In XDA or Google it, Does Your device Has These Two Means You Can Upgrade..

There is no custom recovery or a custom ROM available that I know of. The device is Vizio Co-star.
If you don't have these 2 things, does it mean you can't upgrade?
Are they are patches or can something be done if the device is rooted?
Thanks

No There Are No Other Ways, if Your Device Supports Official Updates Means You don't Need These Two..if Your Device Doesn't Support Official Updates Means You need Custom Recovery & a ROM to Upgrade From One Version to Another , & Root Helps In Flashing a Recovery, If Your Device Doesn't Have A Custom Recovery Means Root Can't Do Anything With That.. Root is Just a Assistance for Flashing a Custom Recovery ..
CM ROMs Even Have In-build Root With ROMs, So Root is Not A Big Issue Here ...

Hi everyone
Hate to ask a stupid question... but here it comes:
If I go and root my Hero and install a custom rom (2.0 or 2.1 ?)
Can I then still install the original rom when HTC releases there 2.1 version next month ?

In short yes.
Installing an official update will wipe absolutely everything on your phone.
It may be hard to root again if you do that though so it might be best to wait for a rooted version of the official rom (should be out about the same time as the official one)
So it will not disable my ability to install the original version again if I root now ??
Have never tried to root yet

You will be able to install the official rom if you have a rooted phone.
the issue might come, te root your phone after the update from HTC though....

im no expert, so dont quote me on this, but from my understanding, and what apple was doing and just about everyother device ive had that had software updates (ps3,psp) when u do the stock rom update it will install over the rom and you will lose your custom rom.
If you switch from the stock rom to a custom rom, you will NOT receive official firmware updates anymore... so as long as you don't go and download a stock rom and install it manually, your phone will continue to run the custom rom until you update / change it...

Most likely a dev will go ahead and release a flashable version of any updates so you can still effectively get updates despite not being stock.
Forwarded from my other thread post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2473982 , I have 2 questions.

2. There are so many custom roms avaliable. I would like to know , which rom works the best with compatibility and smooth UI ? Camera fix and etc ?
Appreciate any help

First...to which ROM is the best...depends on you're style and device. All devices aren't equal...even when they are the same variant.But I like the 4.3 ROMs.Look at my SIG to see which one I'm running today...Lol.
Now..on to you're rooting. You most definitely need to update to 4.0.4 ICS..I have a guide after you're on that version so you can root and stay stock or flash a custom ROM.But you need the ICS boot loader to flash almost all of the new jelly bean ROMs, if not all of them.I believe when you do the official update from kies it will install that boot loader.( never had to as my device was on 4.0.4 unrooted ).
Back up you're tab to you're PC before you go updating..The update might wipe sdcard, not sure. And in case the update goes side ways on ya.
Let me know if you need any help.

Getting to the safe side , the best is using traditional flashing to ICS then to JB.
I am currently rooted for HC.The ordering , I need to flash it to samsung ICS first ? which mean , I need to unroot my device ?
Or I can just flash to custom roms ICS ?
Currently , stuck at this point.Which is the correct procedure ?
Flash stock ICS first using Odin first. Then you can flash to any version you want.

No. Just flash it with Odin. Don't use that ROM. That is a modified version. Download the stock ROMs at www.sammobile.com.

Take a look at the One Stop FAQ and I've got links and stuff for flashing stock ICS

all companies like samsun,lg,htc... upgrade only best phones, the other maybe get little minor update but sometimes they get nothings
so if you want a "new" android you must root your phone and install CMW so you will be able to install custom rom like as cyanogen...
why would you like to install android 4.2?
the latest android is 4.4 called kitkat
from 4.1.0 to 4.3.1 is jellybean
and from 4.4.0 to 4.4.2 (today) is kitkat

you can flash(it means install) a rom(it means a firmware) from your recovery, if you can install cwm it's better because you can also make a backup...
have your phone a recovery? maybe a stock recovery?

I can't get my tab past the "The Art Hi-Tech" screen. Have tried multiple resets and also all the combination of Power+Volume Up wipe but nothing changes the behaviour of the tab.
Please help. This is extremely frustrating :crying: and there are very important things that I need to do for which I need the tab. The data is not important though and I am happy to flash it.

If you can obtain the appropriate Stock ROM offered by OEM/Carrier then it should be possible: you flash this Stock ROM by means of tablet's Stock Recovery.
