Where to obtain instructions and the Android 2.1 update firmware:
- 2.1 firmware "Nordic" and flasher by Bin4ry: (this is the one I used, a nice tutorial by user gfgodoy at post 3): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=825201
- 2.1 firmware "Global" and flasher by jerpelea: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=683793
- 2.1 firmware "Gobal" and flasher by MarylandCookie: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=825675
TIPS:
- Charge your phone, at least 50% prior to updating the firmware
- Extract the flashing tool into a folder in your root directory ("C:\")
- Make sure you put the firmware files into it ("C:\X10Flash-2.1\firmware")
- Make sure you have "SEUS" or "PC Companion" installed and you have connected your phone at least once (for it to install the USB drivers)
- For problems ("unable to open channel", "Exception in *** java", etc) plase check this nice thread by Bin4ry: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=823115

No. You can root from here after you flash.
Cool. I had to Hard-SPL windows phone before I could install new ROMs.
This is quite the other way round!

Step #1 still has prerequisites and CWM while a great utility has been the #1 reason for people coming here posting bricked xooms.
What about flashing the device with US images from motodev? If it's the MZ604 can't you take the US image instead of the Canadian image and then follow the instructions on the motodeve website?
OP try looking here: http://developer.motorola.com/products/software/
You're still going to need prerequisite experience and tools such as the JDK and Android Developer Toolkit.
Sooo, i just need to fallow instruction on 1 and 2, then hope it will help..
i didn't get the one with the us image in post.. what u mean

Here are direct links to stock images that don't require Motodev login:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1049485
Look in this thread,
You will need the windows drivers for your device. You also need to get the JDK and android dev toolkit installed so you can run adb.

DO NOT relock the bootloader. Eventhough it says to on the Moto site, don't do it or you will brick your Xoom.
Also language packs are included in the guide.

Please please please make sure you have a good understanding of what you are doing first.
I would recommend installing the JDK and Android Dev Tools and then make sure you can successfully run DDMS and see your Xoom in the debug monitor. Then you know for sure you are all set to start running adb and fastboot commands.

Hello everyone,
I have just returned from Canada and i own an Xperia z2 from Bell Mobility.I have got it network unlocked too.The problem I am facing is with updates of the phone.
here are a few details-
model number- D6503
android version- 4.4.2
build number- 17.1.A.2.55
I want to update the phone to the latest version(4.4.4) but for some reason i can't.whenever i check system update via phone or sony pc companion it says it's already up to date.
Note: the phone is unrooted.
I am a newbie so i dont know a lot about phones.any detailed help is appreciated.
thanks in advance
Hi, although it is network unlocked the device firmware is still Bell Mobility "branded" firmware so it will be up to them to push the update which they clearly haven't yet.
If you want the update now you will need to flash it manually with Flashtool.
This is relatively easy to do and does not require any rooting or hacking.
There is a great guide here on how to use Flashtool: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=928343
And here you can find a list of stock .ftf files you can flash: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2759934
I would probably recommend "Canada/USA - unbranded - 1281-9709".
Although this is easy and pretty much flawless I hold no responsibility for anything bad that happens to your phone!
[EDIT] Just thought I had better add, in the Flashtool guide it will tell you to hold the "back" key when connecting your phone to your PC while the phone is switched off. Since we don't have a back key you will need to hold "volume down" for this step instead.

That should be everything you need. Obviously back up your data first! You can choose not to wipe user data in Flashtool but always good to be safe just in case!
Good luck and hit the thanks button :good:

If you update via this method, would 5.0 also have to be done this way when Bell pushes it out?

The easiest way to update is by flashing the factory images for the latest build, you don't lose any data doing so as you don't need to wipe. I have detailed instructions in section 10 of my guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/nexus-6p/general/guides-how-to-guides-beginners-t3206928
You'll just need to root again afterwards.

Hi everyone,
Today I am posting this thread because of some idiots who are now sharing pre-rooted firmwares for SM-G361F that are full of bloats.
I am sick of that, this is why I upload the archive of the first pre-rooted firmware I got that was at least clean.
You can download it here: https://mega.nz/#!oqpRhZJZ!B18uTiB3TH-QfChoqjgWCNmaPjqInPZbFyI4u9-T8s4
Note: This firmware is ONLY for Samsung Galaxy Core Prime SM-G361F devices with AOG1 build.
Of course I don't own the firmware and I didn't root it, I just keep the right to upload it.

Nah, I'm just pulling your leg! I tested her out and she is perfectly functional. Much better than that, what was her name? Andro-Woman? Or was it Andro-Man?

Pre rooted
Hey,can you find SM-G361F pre rooted version for this device?
BaseBand G361FXXU1AQA1
Build number G361FXXU1AQD1
I can't find it anywhere
I love what you're doing. All other pre-rooted ROMS are full of trash. Could you make it for G361FXXU1APA3?
Hum... OK guys thanks for the love but I have to remember you something.
I am not a developer yet and truly not a ROM unbloater: I didn't "disinfect" the firmware, I just reuploaded it (well after a fast check, I found I've already prevented about that, just read the thread please...)
So no dudes I can't do that, sorry. I COULD eventually do that, removing bloats and extract system image to make a flashable shouldn't be as complicated, but I do not have time.
Sorry to disappoint you.
Hey Atronid, you rock! I have the AOL1 but intend to give it a try cause I already rooted it but it's full of bloast. Do you know if I can flash another pre-rooted firmware considering I did this already? could this be harmul? -brickful? )-

I don't think doing this will brick your device, but careful. Ensure the usal requirements are here (OEM unlock, USB debug just in case...) and you made a backup, also in case something goes wrong.
But if you're rooted you got plenty tools that can remove bloats from your device, but I hope you're not easily scared because once removed system may spam that the bloat you just uninstalled has stopped. You can get rid of that by just rebooting your phone.
So you don't need to reflash any firmware if you just want to clean your phone up.
Yes, you're right. The problem was that the apps I tried to remove other apps weren't the right ones, but now that's sorted thankfully On the other hand, as I couldn't find an Android 6 ROM for my phone (not even a sorry recovery.... ) in the end I set my mobile to install new apps on the sd card by default. Actually it works similarly to the app Link to SD, so a part of it is on the SD card and the rest (like the data it generates) in the device storage, despite all the tutorials sell this method as "Installation directly on your SD card". You need a computer and official Android development tools (SDK). In case it's of any interest for anyone I'll include the tutorial I followed, but it turns out I'm not allowed to post links yet, so the title of the article was Cómo instalar aplicaciones DIRECTAMENTE en la tarjeta SD from androidjefe website. In English, How to: Force Android to automatically install apps to SD card from softonic website
I hope it helps

Read first post. I don't think it will work if you have a build other than AOG1.
And you should not use TWRP to flash like this. Use Odin and Download mode instead.
Will this rooted firmware work with my SM-G361F phone? Need advice...
Hi there,
Will this rooted version work with my phone?
I'm new here and need some help and advice re Rooting this Samsung phone SM-G361F - I'M NO TECHIE but have ability to following instructions and make connections etc. My phone details are below.
Baseband G361FXXU1ASC1
Build LMY48B.G361FXXU1AQD1
Patch level is 2017-4-01
Security software version ASKS 1.2_161011
I did once try rooting a Samsung tablet using Odin and it all worked OK, but that was a while ago.
How important is it to get the identical build or baseband? Anything else I need to check?
I was trying initially trying to change the phone's MAC address, as I was experimenting with the phone, however I could not use an App to do this as it stated phone that the phone needs Rooting first for App to work. Also tried Terminal Emulator app but it kept failing to work as I was probably, unable to input the text commands required correctly.
I hope someone can please help and advise me on this.

Kind regards
