Yesterday I received a new Software Update. In Kies 3, it reported the following:
Current version: PDA:NK2/CSC:NK2(XAR)
Latest version: PDA:OB1/CSC:OB1(XAR)
So, after the update, my Build number reports as:
KOT49H.P600UEUCOB1
I notice that the last 3 letters are OB1.
My Android Version still reports as 4.2.2
I wish I knew exactly what was updated from NK2 to OB1? Anyone have any ideas?
Additional notes of interest:
The update would fail if I tried to do the update over WiFi (two different locations tried).
The update would fail if I tried to do it through Kies 3 on my Windows 7 Computer with a generic USB Cable.
The update succeeded when using Kies 3 from my Windows 8.1 computer with the original Samsung USB Cable that came with the device.
My device was rooted with SuperSU Pro prior to receiving this update. Now when I go into SuperSU Pro, I get the following message:
There is no SU binary installed, and SuperSU cannot install it.
This is a problem!
If you just upgraded to Android 4.2, you need to manually re-root
-consult the relevant forums for your device!
If anyone can shed any light on the following, pleas do so:
1. Why was I able to upgrade my OS version? I thought that a rooted device would not upgrade.
2. I wonder why a more substantial upgrade was not made available (like to Lollipop)?
3. If I am no longer rooted, as indicated by the SuperSU message mentioned above, I wonder if I should root again or not?
4. I will test for the External SD Card functionality and let you know.
Thanks!
