Anyways can you not flash a new firmware via odin then flash the matching kernel?

OTA or Sammobile? I can't see the OTA. Is it because I'm rooted?

Yes i too wanna know if ota has been made available or not.
There is an official 4.1.1 firmware release for India with the suffix of CLL5. Can get from Samsung download site HERE
The release of 4.1.1 is at a global scale ...
Just flashed the latest update via ODIN. OTA and kies refused to show the update.
I'd get any firmware file from sammobile. They are more trustworthy.
Besides that site doesn't even have the file.

Download the latest file from sammobile and then odin flash it. I don't see why u can't even if you are on a leaked firmware.

Installed the same through ODIN flash yesterday. Had to take a back-up of data before restoring it.:good:
The fonts look really odd. Anyone notice they aren't as clear any more

I have a rooted P3100. I was able to install the OTA directly on the tab, and retain root as I could use Titanium Backup etc afterwards. YMMV of course.
I got an error message at the end saying that OTA did not succeed etc but that was irrelevant and probably just some ROM check from Samsung.
The tablet felt a bit slow during the first few minutes of use but is working more smoothly now. I don't like the new launcher much, somehow the stock 4.0.4 felt nice even after I had tried some of the other launchers. Hopefully it will feel better after I get used to it.
No battery percentage

No you don't need to flash previous firmware if you are flashing full Rom.
You need to flash required firmware if you are installing ota update.

Hello,
Anyone having Wifi issues after the OTA update like me?
My Wifi on Tab2 became unstable
Keeps popping that "Connected to Wifi Network" Message, though Signal strength is very strong, Just few feet away from router.
Also does anyone know how i can i get the Lock Screen rotated to Landscape mode with the PIN lock.
Mine just stuck in Portrait Mode.
So far TouchWiz home crashed atleast once,
slower performance than 4.0.4
current JBA 4.1.1 sucks so far, for my Tab2

Help please debrand

Hi I have a Samsung sg4 UK one on three network I have debranded it so I thought
Using a guide in xda I used generic UK firmware but today when I tried to update phone using kies is said not alllowed firmware not supported by kies
Does this mean I have to use Odin again and find new firmware or do I have to restore back to UK three branded firm ware any help would be great ps phone is not rooted thanks

if you want official update you will have to go back to 3 firmware but if you want to stick to the generic update just flash it via odin once a new version comes out
Where can I get the three Rom from please latest official one
Sent from my HTC One using xda premium
If you want updates by kies you have to flash an official Rom. There are debranded official roms available on sammobile.
or you are going to use a custom Rom

Can I get the update through Kies?

I don't care about losing root, can I get the latest update through Kies? OTA fails on me. Also if a Kies update is successful will everything return to stock? #Noob

Why not download the rooted latest release from the android development section? I do not believe you can accept ota updates or update firmware via kies while rooted. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
Well I was rooted with a custom recovery got the ota to download but on reset it failed. So I when back to stock but I couldn't get it to download the update. The only way I got it to. Is the flash counter was reset and the status of phone was official.
Now it suxs not having root.

Does camera firmware update stick?

I was wondering..... when I update my firmware using Odin and upon first opening camera app it says 'updating camera firmware'. If I then flash a custom ROM such as CM, does my camera firmware remain updated?
I always thought it did but just wanted to check

It must because if you switch back it doesn't upgrade again.

No OTA update is available.
But you still can update by downloading the firmware, and flash it using Odin.
You will also still be able to do official updates using Samsung Kies and connecting your phone to your pc
