Getting OTA
OTA will be available if you are on full stock Indian ROM.
So user who are on other ROM OR on rooted LR6 with other kernel first follow this

First make backup of your data.
If you are on ICS ROM, wipe cache and data with safe kernel
If you are on GB ROM, straightway wipe cache and data
Check your CSC by *#272*IMEI#
If it is not set to INU, you won't get update, if you have have choice to select INU from list, select it. it will erase your data.
If you dont have INU in the list, Flash CSC of LR6 with CSC tab of PC odin.
PS. All i have described regarding CSC, should be performed under safe kernel.


Once after checking CSC is set to INU, Flash DDLR6 ROM with PC odin, After flashing LR6 successfully you will get OTA for LR9.

Thanks Doc, but what I have observed is that if you have rooted ever and have installed mods or replaced system apps, then OTA is not successful, I was on stock LR6 with stock kernel and INU csc but OTA failed twice (after download, unsuccessful attempt to update), I un-rooted but still no luck, so I tried this,
1. Flashed stock Indian GB firmware using pc odin
2. Performed full wipe in stock recovery
3. Updated to latest available update LR6 using kies.
4. Then updated to LR9 OTA :)
Now I have rooted it again and have installed all mods :D

found the ota downloaded but cannot install...

after rebooting it goes into installation screen (green android with rotating Dodecahedron or Icosidodecahedron)
then after 5 sec or 5% cell reboots with message "updating failed try updating through kies later" ( or something like that).
and there is no update for kies as of yet.

what to do??

i am on stock rom with speedmod k3-13 and rooted with CWM method.

i saw your method.. is there any other method.. i dont want to wipe/f reset..

thanks

Ok first wipe cache and data
then flash LR6 using mobile odin, dont select ever root option. or dont change kernel from stock.
Thanks. Did as you suggested. Now am on stock DDLR6 with stock kernel and without root. But software update is saying "No Updates Available". Confused.

i reinstalled DDLR6 kernel and OTA worked fine.
oh and dint wipe/f reset.. and i am still rooted after the update
Great!! you can now flash your fav. safe kernel and enjoy it.
OTA works sometimes even if you are rooted but I doubt it works if you have replaced lot of system apps including systemui and all like in my case ;)

Go to setting/applications/All/TouchWiz home and clear data, this should solve the problem.
