Possible to get official update after rooting?

Hi
Is it possible to get the official Froyo OTA update (Promissed to arrive before christmas in my country: Denmark), if I root, and install a custom rom on my phone?
I would like the official, when it arrives, but the wait is as hard as waiting for, yeah well, christmas!
firstly considering that you are rooted, most devs here will instantly provide the official rooted froyo rom + improvements and bonuses making it better than the official, so chances are if you flash the official froyo you will probably return to this site
you can just flash a ruu for your phone, it is a sticky on the development thread, you can install the generic htc ruu for example or a t-mobile official one, this will unroot your phone, and you will also then be able to click on: system software update and update your phone to the official froyo
summary: better official froyos will be made here, and yes you can unroot and flash official via software upgrade

Updating to Official Froyo

I just recently rooted my phone to the ported version of Android 2.2. When the supposed release of the "official" Android 2.2 comes out, how the hell do I update my phone to the "official" Android 2.2. Would I have to unroot it and then install the OTA official update and then wait for a root or will there be an update for my already ported version of 2.2? Can anyone help out?

You need to unroot and install an Official ROM.
Never update officially, unless you don't mind missing out on having root and all of the other benefits. Just hold out a few days (maybe hours?) longer after the official version hits and some kind souls here will break out the bad and leave in the good for us all.
flash one of the shipped roms, check development section for official roms, and that should unroot your phone if you want to flash the official 2.2 from sprint. also, you can wait until the devs update their roms with 2.2 goodies.

Running 4.1.2.. Is my Note 2 up to date?

Hey Guys, there is something I've never been clear about. My Note 2 is an international unlocked version. I'm using it on T-Mobile, will I be able to get the latest OS from T-mobile for my International version? Or, do I need to go to a Samsung website?
I always check the updates and it says I'm up to date, but I really would like 4.2 for mirror display capability. How do people get the latest OS? Like Kit Kat? Do you have to wait for t-mobile? Can you get it else where?
Please advise, thanks!

I think the latest update is on 4.3 because Samsung skipped the 4.2 update due to too many bugs report, and rumors about 4.4 is coming out late March. You can use Odin to update your device to 4.3 or you can go to the international Note 2 and get some custom roms that runs 4.4 kit kat

Latest version is indeed 4.3, rumors of the Tmobile note 4.4 update has been pushed back to April/May, most likely in between then. You can find many stock roms on this site, check out the android develepment section of the forum, you can even find some 4.4 roms if you'd like. Good luck!

SMP900 UK - how to update firmware

Hi,
I foolishly purchased the SMP900 (WiFi), only to now find out that Samsung UK feel it's acceptable to leave it on KitKat 4.4.
In light of the fact that it won't be getting Lollipop or Marshmallow, I was hoping to update the firmware myself with a compatible official rom.
Can anyone advise me how I can do this? Can i download a Samsung release and install it? I am not interesting in rooting it or installing a custom rom, mainly because this seems more complicated and I have no experience of doing this.
If anyone can point me in the right direction I'd be very grateful.
Thanks

Hi Q,
Is it confirmed that the UK will not receive the Lollipop update? I was under the impression it's still coming through. I have been toying with the idea of flashing mine with another European firmware but held off hoping they would release for the UK, if this isn't the case I will flash shortly.
Si.
If you guys are talking about the 5.1.1 stock update to lollipop for 12.2 tab pro(SM-T900), It's already been released check out sammobile for your corresponding firmware update http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/
(SM-P900)is the note pro 12.2 also 5.0.2 i believe was released for that if you guys are talking about the note pro, the us cellular south should work for uk.

Just bought a brand new AT&T Desire Eye, can i install the marshmallow update...

At&T hasnt released their update i was wondering if i can flash the stock version that was released every where else and not have to suffer from all the At&t bloatware ...
