Thanks for that. Downloading now

For some reason i couldnt install. It stops at 3rd phase. I have added some tweaks to build.prop could be it ?
If i reset my phone i will lose root?
EDIT: i ve put back stock build.prop and it still doesnt work.

I'm from Italy and I tried to update from mobile, but at the end it says that it's impossibile to update.
I have my mobile rooted with DooMLoRD (without unlocking bootloader). Is this the problem? How can I update my mobile?

I rooted via gingerbreak.
2.3.2 and only ota updates. Where does your phone reboots? Mine is on third phase. Arrow is selected to phone,- third phase.
Stock everything, bootloader locked.

Updating ota

Hi
I am on t mobile but have just bought an unlocked x10 originally on o2. I have tried updating ota but am still stuck on 016 firmware. Is this because I am using a t mobile sin.

Hi.
It's possible I guess. Have you tried running SEUS?
Maybe try to debrand it. May help...
Sent from my rooted x10a using XDA app
It may be unlocked but it is still running the O2 firmware as that is at 16 still. It looks like you can either debrand it or wait for O2 to release it.

Update after root

Hi all!
About 2 months ago I rooted my Arc S using Zergrush. Today I got a notification there's a new system update. I'm guessing I shouldn't update. Am I right?

You can do it via OTA if you have a locked bootloader and remain root.

I can confirm that... Did OTA for My Missus's Xperia Mini and My daughters Xperia pro.. both updated fine.. and both still rooted.
How do I know if I have a locked bootloader?
Sent from my HTC Desire using xda premium
Yours is locked when you ask that question
Did you unlock it?

I think that if you had removed system files like removing bloatwares your phone will not be rooted after you update . However backup your stuff , update through you mobile update center (found in your mobile) , if not rooted downgrade again .

S3 jelly beans

Can anyone help me am trying to update s3 to jelly beans but Kies stuck in update???

Try installing the jb firmware from here, kies never works for me

You sure its stuck? Its seems to take forever, and does halt for a considerable period halfway, but I should complete
Forget about KIES.
Go to http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-I9300 (link is for the International version), choose ANY ROM you want, or the ROM for your country/operator, and flash it using Odin3.
KIES is evil and I don't know why people insist on using that P.O.S.
But will i have any problems in future if i want to upgrade if i flash it using odin?

I updated yesterday using Kies. Make sure your battery is well charged (70% or more) and let it run. It looked like mine had stopped after downloading the components. After 20 minutes of looking like nothing was happening, the firmware proper started to download.
With all the downloads then flash, it probably took just under 2 hours (not the 5-30 minutes that Kies claims).
Most likely the download servers are just busy.
previously was root with stock rom...(unroot usin those root keeper) and proceed to update JB.
Looks good but root is lost.

Jelly bean update factory unlocked gt-i9300

Hey guys I have a factory unlocked phone which I bought from china, and I also have it rooted, my friend wants me to to update to JB but I'm not sure if I have to unroot my phone to get the update and also if I unroot it will I loose my factory unlock? I'm using it in the United States right now. With carrier t-mobile.. I've also seen other posts about being slow after updating if it's international so what should I do?

What does that mean?
Sent from my GT-I9300 using xda app-developers app
I am using the stock JB and its very fast and smooth. You will have to unroot if you want to update via OTA, I have read others say that you can update via Lies without unrooting, but I can tell you for sure. As for whether you would lose your unlock the short answer is no.

OTA Update now available For 12.0.A.2.245

Guys the OTA update For The latest update I.e. 12.0.A.2.245 is now available in around 70mb file package.
And best part Of OTA update is that you will not loose the root access like you loose the root in the update through pc companion.
I m from india and is on. 257 update
If you have unlocked boot loader DO NOT UPDATE OVER THE AIR YOU WILL BRICK THE DEVICE.

I live in Greece and i'm still on .257... Cannot install any updates and that sucks...
i wasn't eather, not trough the pc companion at least. if you're not sim locked just download global .245 package or german one perhaps, find it in a forum, and flash it via flashtool.

hi, where i find global generic .245
Thanks
i must confess I used the German one, but pretty much any .245 would work as long as it is for your specific model, 502 or 503, and if you do not mind using english in your device. 'cause no matter what region is intended for you can chose english for the device language.
Tried OTA update but installation failed. Not sure if is due to me removing the bloatware previously

As long you have rooted your phone whether locked or unlocked bootloader, OTA fails.
