****BEFORE PROCEDING BE SURE TO CLICK HERE AND READ THIS POST!!*****​

Here is the update from lh2 to ma1 jb for the stellar. To apply here's the steps I took.​

Backed up internal storage and flashed my LH2 ODIN ONE-CLICK.(its based off the lh2 tar for kies so it will wipe on reboot.)​

After it booted I used invisiblek's root method in dev section.​

Once that was done I installed invisiblek's kexec twrp (although i imagine any custom recovery will do) using adb.(commands below).​

From there I rebooted straight to twrp and applied the ** JB update.​

Once finished I flashed my root zip.​

End result is total stock JB with root.
** The JB update here is legit and will flash in the stock recovery if you are unmodified.

EVERYTHING MENTIONED ABOVE (in order)
My LH2 ODIN OC
root method
Invisiblek Kexec TWRP
JB UPDATE
my root zip​

___________________________________________________________________​

COMMANDS TO APPLY TWRP VIA ADB
adb push recovery-TWRP-2.2.2.0-kexec-jaspervzw-v4.img /sdcard/
adb shell
su
dd if=/sdcard/recovery-TWRP-2.2.2.0-kexec-jaspervzw-v4.img of=/dev/block/mmcblk0p18​

*****As said previously I do not own this phone so i cannot provide much support but this is pretty clear cut. I must add and please correct me if im wrong here, as what happened with the s3, the update to JB will update the bootloader and how the flash count works. Whats that mean for you? Flashing a custom recovery regardless of method used will up the count to 1, but there is a way to to reset it for the stellar, Unfortunately you must go find it yourself on androidfilehost.com by searching Stellar-Triangle-Away.apk​

Thanks. Going to try this on my daughters stellar this weekend. It's rooted with custom recovery so it won't take the update itself. Shes pissed at me cuz it won't update. Lol but she didnt complain when I removed all that bloat.

Lol my lil cousin is the same way about his. Every lil problem is because i rooted it. But of course loved removing that verizon bloat. And before attempting reread the op as im about to update with an easier method. And the end result will be JB with root.

trying to download the stuff here and goo has decided to run crazy slow right now. smh

Is the jb update significant over ics? I'm just wondering if this is worth replacing my current ics style rom with. What's new with it?

Looks wise, i mean touchwiz is touchwiz. But as what happened with the s3 when it got jellybean, performance gets a nice kick in the ass. Plus being on jellybean and keeping root you can install the GN2 popup browser on it which is a plus

Cool, I was trying to flash the OTA and it was not working, will go ahead and give this a go.

How do I flash the lh 2 Odin oc, can someone tell me

 

[swarlesbarkely]

You need to set up odin on your computer, then boot to download mode ( power and volume up) then start odin on your computer, plug on your phone, choose the lh2 file for the pda section, then flash

Thanks man! Also, is this the method you used to get jelly bean?

 

[swarlesbarkely]

Affirmative

 

[mcarrion78]

Can someone tell me the correct method to root the galaxy stellar. I Need root but don't want to fuck up my phone.

 

[frankpinto]

Dylan_Douglas: Use the method mentioned at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1883984. It works for the Stellar as well. Just download that 7z file, unzip with 7-Zip, make sure your Stellar is plugged in then run RootDebugfs.bat

I just followed the OP to get Jelly Bean on Stellar and all seemed to work great, however, when I go to "About Phone" the version number says 4.0.4 - how do I get it to update billard412?

 

[kayri86]

What am I missing? I've done a ton of reading and experimenting, I have odin, and the one click ih2 posted in this, but I can't seem to get Odin to recognize the file, i have odin 3.06 which is looking for a tar md5 smd gz tgz

I'm getting pretty frustrated, i want to debrand my verizion sch-i200 and strip it back and root it

once I extract the zip so that it's folders and what not, do i repack them as a .tar ?? It seems to be a bit of information that's apparently common knowledge with flashing that's omitted from 99.9% of turorials and I can't seem to find that 0.01% that actually explains that part :\

This server has many Stellar Odin files. Hope it helps. One click Odin file is little tough to execute.
