I bought an 8.9 about 2 months ago and have it rooted with cwm and motleys kernel. Today I did a software update check and noticed there is a new firmware download at about 20mb in size. Any idea as to what the firmware changes or improves? I take it I have to remove root and flash a stock rom to update as well.
Can you grab the update from Kies and examine it?
(speaking as a non-Windows user)
Kies has not worked for me since I flashed the new kernel. Surprisingly there was also an update for Kies dated 3/15/12. Oh well, I thought someone here would know about this fw update.
which 8.9 is this for? GT-P7300? GT-P7320? SGH-i957?

Guys,
I flashed my Note with a HK Original Samsung ROM (N7000ZSKK1, obtained at the development section).
When I bought it in Shanghai, it had a modified version of the original firmware with lots of china apps that meddle with what I want to do, and since it had superuser on there I knew it was flashed. probably from a China issue version that doesn't have google apps
All seems fine after flashing the original HK version, except for one thing: I get software update notifications, and when I try to install them, I get an installation failure notification. I thought that if a phone had a correct ROM installed, it would be able to receive OTA updates? I was hoping to get Samsung's ICS update officially (rather than performing ROM flashes each time an update comes along...).
I used Mobile Odin to flash the firmware. Without checking (e.g. by installing titanium backup) I don't know if it is still rooted or not. Prior to flashing it the unit was actually not rooted (the chinese unrooted it after flashing the custom HK ROM I think), and it had the same issue wrt not being able to install OTA updates.
Any idea why I cannot install OTA updates?
Alternatively, what's the easiest solution to keep my phone up to date with samsung's latest and greatest?

Sometimes OTA updates get fail. Try with Samsung Kies.
Tried that, but it gives the message "Your device does not support software upgrading via Kies". It states for current firmware version: PDA:KK1 / PHONE:KJ6 / CSC: (TGY)
SHould I be installing a different firmware?
Hi All,
Im on the Official ICS ROM INDIA...4.0.3 DDLP4
Yesterday, when i checked kies, there was an update waiting (No Update on OTA). The downloading of firmware was taking ages to download(3.2mbps connection) and after about 70 percent the downloading stopped and Kies said "Connection stopped"....
Any body who has downloaded the F/W can you please post the change log (If you find any).. I mainly wanna know, if the laggness of the lock screen and slowness to open contact's and capturing pics has been rectified.

Ah glad that i have company.sad at the same time!! Even i have the same problem after the 7mb OTA update. The andriod process closes often and hangs the phone.The phone was literally unusable. Hence i tried to install custom gingerbread rom on it. Now its almost completely bricked.How irresponsible is samsung to roll these things out without testing it thoroughly.
***PLEASE DON'T INSTALL THE 7MB ICS OTA UPDATE***
hopefully we can save some.
I also tried to update through OTA but it was failed and message popped up that do update through Kies. Now I got update through Kies and my firmware changed from DDLP4 to DDLPA. However I lost Root.
I also received the update notification. Downloaded the 7.8 mb update within a minute and asked for reboot. Everything worked fine and nothing special noticed. It just changed the build no. from IML74K.DDLPA to IML74K.DDLP8

you mean LP8 to LPA? check your kernel version date. if it shows 12 June then fine, else your kernel has not been updated.
Hey guys basically its stability update. my phone feels much smoother now. i updated OTA via wifi, i also faced update not installed issue and i found out the problem, basically we all root our device that means we change SU binaries so when updating phone OTA it checks for those binaries and if these binaries are not official OTA update get aborted. i solved this problem like this,
1) I have downloaded STOCK LP8 firmware from samobile.com when it released
2) As my phone is rooted my SU binaries are changed so OTA update is aborted.
3) So FLASHED Stock rom LP8 from PC ODIN which kept my all DATA, APPS intact i just lost my root and some mods like 15toggles status bar and so..
4)then i started updating my phone using S/W update in settings, its 7.85MB file.
5)In few minutes my phone is updated to LPA
6)Now i again rooted my phone and my all data apps are intact and mob is much improved in stability.
Hope this will help you guys.

kernel is definitely updated in LPA. just flash LPA ROM file using Odin.
I also agree with what mullarameez has pointed out. rooting might be the reason for kernel being skipped. because if u flash LPA with odin you will lose root and hence get the new kernel.
Is there a way to update Kernel without flashing the whole 650 mb rom?
with all the issues in ICS, i think it would be safest if you would flash using the whole LPA ROM. I know its a pain to download but worth it in the end.
OMG! just a 7Mb update took 2hrs to download.. Hmmmm...
My main prob was with Lock screen, camera and contacts.. Noting has been resolved on this new Update!!!
what is the issue? is it lag?
This is confusing..
I have everything stock on my phone..All updates done OTA since i bought the phone..Not rooted..
Still the kernel says 12 May after the 7mb update..Why?? Although the deep sleep issue (sore point for me) seems to have been resolved after this update...
PS: The build info after *#1234# says 12 June, if that matters..
yes, almost all the users who updated OTA have the same issue. you may flash the new LPA using PC Odin from doc's post (anyways you're not rooted so no problem)

Delete Downloaded Firmware Update On Rooted Android Phone
dear all
i've got a problem kind of related to the question above:
i have a rooted galaxy s2 with cfw 3.0.31-Siyah-s2-v5.0.1+
now my phone downloaded the software update of 380MB but as far as i'm concerned i don't want to update.
i've been looking for the folder where this update downlaoded into to delete it but with no luck.
is there a common "downloaded firmware upgrades" - folder?
kind regards
I am running the official Samsung JB 4.1.2
and every couple of weeks i get a reminder to run a Software Update (37.22 MB)
All it says is "Improved stability"
When i install it it seems to go ok but after it reboots the phone says "Failed to update firmware, try again using PC software (Kies) or visit a samsung service centre"
I then get another reminder approx a couple of weeks later to install it again. This has been going on now for a couple of months.
anyone know why this update wont install.
Are you rooted with a custom kernel? If yes then you can't install OTA. Kies will help you update easily.

Hi guys, I have rooted S23 base 8/256gb EUX SM-S911B/DS firmware version S911BXXU1AWA6 and I'd like to update to S911BXXU1AWBD firmware version, a new update released a couple of days ago.
I was used to downloading full update package, push manually update through software updater, extract the boot.img, patch it through magisk and flash it through pc to have root after update (no data lost while updating).
Will this work for me on S23? I was using OnePlus 7T before. Or do I have to use Odin to update? (If yes, will I loose my data?)
I'm not quite familiar with Odin tool so I want to be sure. If flashing that patched extracted boot.img won't work I can try installing the TWRP released few days ago in order to root my device, I just want to know how to safely update without loosing my data or bricking the device.
I let my device root by Oneclickroot day after release cause there wasn't any verified safe way to root it myself but when there is now, I'd like to do it myself to safe some money.
THX for any advice
if you still have about 1 - 2 days time I can tell you how it goes with Odin. I also switched from Oneplus to Samsung and will also do it the first time, but I'm still waiting for the update from today in Germany.

use smart switch to make a full back up from your device, then you can try to root it
