Of course anyone can Flash it, I just meant it is dedicated as an Indian firmawre, for that I am really glad. People are looking for a Firmware which is Indian, never see this stuff before, we always had to opt for some European firmware.
Thanks fyi on KF1. Will look forward for it.

Note its an older KE2 baseband/modem .

No, Product Code determines which country it belongs to, Indian SGS2 has a product code of GT-I9100KAINU

Rolling back Software

Hi,
i Currently have Andriod 2.3.3 on My Phone with CF-Root on with Also Installed ClockWorkMod.
I Plan on Rolling back to 2.2.1 to test something
If I Spoofed the Device using spoofw and Choosed a Different device Code and re-flashed with Kies.
Would This Work without any issues?

Thanks Ramad,
So i Can just Flash using Odin and i don't need to remove the CF-Root Super USer App And CWM?
Looking at that Thread you have Linked me to there appears to be Several Links for Europe , Does it Matter Which one I Download(aslong its a Europe one) - Im' In the UK

If you want official Froyo 2.2.1 for UK then flash XXJPY.
Flash with no pit and no re-partition after disabling any lagfix if enabled...and you will be fine.

XXJVO is the official 2.3.3 for UK, it's there too.
You needed a Foryo for your phone, I suggested the Froyo firmware according to your need.

Remember to use a firmware with a boot image prior gingerbread. I don't know exactly which one to use though. Maybe someone else can answer.

SM - G901F Rooted at last ! CWM Recovery in English ! BUT Aroma not supported

Hello,
Root for G901F is fine now.
All credits to @Chainfire
Tuto's here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1980683
File to download is here http://download.chainfire.eu/481/CF-Root/CF-Auto-Root/CF-Auto-Root-kccat6-kccat6xx-smg901f.zip
Be informed that Knox will be affected to 0x1 by rooting.
Edit 2014/12/01:
Added CWM Recovery in English working for G901F.
Thanks to @Chenglu for making this possible.
Bugs in CWM:
Aroma interface not working (...Aroma doesn't support MSM OVERLAY display mode, g901f kernel only use MSM OVERLAY...) Pb See here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=57163957&postcount=26
Everything else is working.

Download and flash a G901F rom from Sammobile/firmwares/ with Odin. First pull the battery, wait 30 seconds, boot into downloadmode and connect to the pc and flash the rom with Odin and data factory reset afterwards.

Yep, that's what I did.
It seems that cf auto root is nearly ready for my G901, hope it'll come soon.
Thanks for responding
Franky

hi
I sent g901f recovery to Chainfire to make CFAR.
For now it's not working, probably because this phone is the first with s805.
Chainfire is working on it, maybe he will find some path to root it.
just wait and be patient

Yep, France.
Chainfire build this CFAR from recovery and cache img from ROM.
If they're the same on yours, you've got a chance.
If not, ask Chainfire (he's a beast dev) on his thread, maybe he'll be able to help you.

Mine is from France (bouygues telecom) and it's G901FXXU1ANH6 too.
I didn't root it yet using http://androidxda.com/root-samsung-galaxy-s5-lte-sm-g901f
I assume that knox will be set to 0x01, correct ?

Firmware exists for france, germany, netherlands, romania, united kingdom, singapore and switzerland, I suppose G901F is coming or about to in all these countries.

Stock ROM for the UAE variant

I visited the sammobile firmware website and searched for the stock firmware and didn't find my n910c exynos I bought it from the UAE but I see most of the other countries has the same baseband version N910CXXU1ANJ4 is it possible for me to download any one with the same baseband version? , Any body know what to do ,Thanks!

My friend - you've posted your question in the DEVELOPMENT forum.
There are several reasons why this is undesirable. I will report your thread to a Mod to have it moved to the Question forum - here on XDA people really appreciate other people stick to the rules.
As for your query, I suggest you persevere and find exact same C version or flash the custom ROM for C found in this development section.

Are u using stock rom? What device do you own? Give us more details about.

go to sammobile.com and look for your country and carrier. See what baseband it has, then download the modem from xda.
