Firmware - XX, XW, JPF, JPM, JPN etc..

Hi Guys,
I assume that in the UK, we can use XW or XX, according to, for example this website http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/archive/t-706422.html
Getting that out of the way, I assume that JPN is "newer" than both JPF, JPM and JPI
Is my logic correct? I gave up waiting for Samsung and KIES yesterday and just flashed JPN via ODIN. Can't believe I waited months, it's a vast improvement.

No. Both I5800XWJPF & I5800XWJPI are newer.
XX= East Europe
XW= West Europe

Hi kyrillos, How's Greece today!
Ah ok! But how do you know that for certain? Have you tried JPI then? I know you appear to be the best custom ROM chap out there but I'm not ready to make that jump yet

Emm today in Greece was a hot day
I didnt tried JPI yet, because i dont have time to

Much better than England I'm sure!
I5800XXJPQ is just released FYI
PS do you know this?
Do you know why the bootloaders "brick" phones sometimes?
People remove the bootloaders from the tar files to avoid this, but aren't they updated versions and required ever?

Gave up on Samsung New Zealand yesterday.. been waiting for months as well.. flashed I5800XWJPF_XENJP1_XXJP4.. I have no regrets.. using it in conjunction with ADW launcher Ex pro.. very satisfied with this firmware up till now..

Bootloaders can brick, because if something were to happen while flashing the bootloader you probably wouldnt be able to boot or get into download mode and flash another rom (which you could do if anything else went wrong)

Guys how can U tell which version you run ?
Here's a SS of my device : URL not permitted yet .
In the 'Baseband' section says XXJP4 , but on the bottom it is XJPL .
I'm interested (and frankly new to all this , even though I got my phone 4 months ago) in Kyrillos rom and someone told me I need a specific firmware version to install it .

Is the stock JPM bug free? Like is it stable and does everything work properly i.e data,camera,player etc...
Please reply fast. I am new to flashing and I have thought of flashing this ROM. This would be my first ever.

[Q] Why won't my Beast Running UBKK2 Update?

Since I received my N7000 on November 17, 2011 from Mobilecityonline my Galaxy Note won't update. It's running UBKK2 - the CSC is TTT - which a Brazilian CSC.
I've searched every thread and correctly followed every step of the process I've found unsuccessfully, I've tried the manual update and receive "no update available" every time I read about a new firmware release. The CSC is listing only 3 codes; VNO, TTT, and TDR - I installed each one of these CSC codes in an attempt to prompt a software update to no avail. I haven't even gotten the update from January that provided the addition of the Torch & everything that came with it!
Short of rooting my Note is there anything I can do to either change the CSC Code to one that receives updates regularly or manually update the firmware? I thought I'd wait until ICS became available hoping that would correct these issues but I'm slowly getting PO'd that I may not be even to receive ICS.
Plus I didn't/don't see the reason to have rooted by now - I've rooted all of my Android devices from HTC EVO 4G's & 3D's, Nook Color, to Asus Transformers. Is there anything I can do without rooting this beast and will I even receive Ice Cream Sandwich?
I'm begging for help please. I'd sincerely appreciate ANY help and I'm willing to donate to anyone that will help achieve everything I'm missing out on to date.
Thank you in advance,
Jim G.

If keeping it stock is all you want, just download one of the stock firmwares and flash it with odin.

They are the South Amercian firmwares currently out, but the European ones are newer if you want to try those.

Wow that was fast!
Wow! Thank you for the super fast reply. Can I D/L and use any stock firmware, I was hoping to use either the UK or German versions cuz they look like they get updates more often than the rest. If I'm wrong I stand corrected - could you please point out a version to use or am I stuck using the BZ version forever?
Oh Lord I hope not! * Forgive me - I saw you suggested the EU versions after I hurried to reply, my fault! *
Again, Thank You in advance,
Jim G.

Brazil Note.
I too have a Note with a ROM from Brazil. Since this is my first Android phone and I'm a noob so far, what will it take to get mine over to a euro one. Will this brick my phone? What region do you recommend for a US user? I understand that you meant Europe, but there a lot of choices like open, open euro or open germany or europ or german. Any directions or advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

flshing a firmware for another region is fine... I offen just update to whereever has the newest update

But if i update to a stock rom from another country without changing csc, will i be able to update via kies whenever a newer csc update gets release online for my country? I got this ideia it wont be possible and will still need to change it again via Odin. It bother me if it wipes my phone each time i update. Still in kka/5 here with unlocked phone...

After updating to another regions ROM, You can just Odin back to the original stock ROM if you really wanted to, to restore KIES function for the original configuration.
But to be honest, the only time I ever have, is just for warranty purposes, I don't touch kies in any shape or form, there really is no need.
The way I work is, I like to use the stock ROMs, but rooted etc... So, when I got the phone, I rooted it, put the ClockWorkMod Recovery (CWM) on and now I just update my ROM with the repacked stock versions made to be flashed with CWM. They are exactly the same ROMs but rooted and deodexed, some I "believe" are multi CSC too.
Swyped from my finger, to your face on my Samsung Galaxy Note, using Tapatalk!

Thank you for all the help! I'm choosing to use the open-Germany (DBT) stock ROM cuz I've been keeping track of the ROM that was updated the most. I found it to be the German and UK versions but it seems the open-German edges it out.
I've got it all D/L'd and am actually waiting to get my notebook up and running after a CPU upgrade. Once I receive the thermal paste updating my Beast is the 1st order of business!
It sucks that the UBKK2 firmware never allowed any kind of an update, it makes me wonder if I'd even get the ICS update when it's released on March 15 or shortly thereafter. Of course that's according to the rumor mill and I'm simply referring to that since the SGSII's received their ICS earlier today according to SanFirnware.
So who knows? Again, I thank everyone fir their help and input.

req: official HC3.2 rom?

Hi all. Could someone point me to the official Samsung HC 3.2 file?
On Sammobile there are 3 listed, not sure which one is correct.
For a US 7510, wifi only.
Flashed to ICS, and while it's very nice oveall, a few quirks, so I want to flash back to 3.2 and see
what the OTA update brings.
Thanks!
ETA: Or post the correct file number so I know which one to d/l from sammobile
Thanks again.

Why in the hell would you want official hc when there is available official ics
The region does not matter at all.. It's the same software and hardware for everyone.. Gosh I don't know why people gets obseced about regions...
Wanna know something? I bought my tab in canada(north america) , I live in Venezuela south America and my tab its running official ics from Italy(europe) .. And guess what... It works the exact same way like every other tab in the world... And has the same exact features

As I posted, I flashed ICS and too many quirks for now.
My tab on 3.2 worked perfectly, doesn't on ICS.

i own a G2 D802 16 GB that i bought in Egypt
out of the box i had android 4.2.2
build: jdq39B
software version: D80210E-AME-XX
a couple of my friends who owns the g2 from KSA & UAE recieved the 4.4 update
while i try to update i receive "you are using the latest software version for current OS."
i searched on the forum and google for the stock KSA/UAE kdz with kitkat but couldnt find it.

May be because UAE and SA are kinda big markets for LG while Egypt is not!. Hopefully they won't make us wait more!
and if there's anyone from Egypt who gets it inform us about it here

its the same software, baseband only difference is their bloatware :S useless anyway plus for the open handsets there is no need its not a carrier dependent

yeah I doubt they have 4.4.2 already, cause it would be all over the forums. I think they are scamming you with a custom rom or version changer app

well i have a white d802 32gb belonging to my friend from ksa and it has 4.4 stock, no mod, no root.

Pics or it didn't happen!

4.4, great so we get a outdated kitkat.
adk them to download the kdz file so can risk your phone updating that kdz . if you have a 32gb that is.

I'm from ksa, I have d802
Didn't receive nothing.
I'm still waiting for 4.4

you should be waiting for 4.4.2 r2 and not outdated 4.4 ....

here is a trusted proof till i get the screenshot
http://www.gsmarena.com/its_officia...itkat_rollout_starts_this_month-news-7566.php

Any update on when we should be getting our update? I'm eagerly waiting, If not I will just flash a Spain Vodafone KDZ.

most ppl from ksa/uae/kuwait have Korean version that why they receive kitkat they sold it here for 600-700$ with extra battery and sdcard slot good deal

Hello.
I have a German unbranded device.
Since I did not want to wait for Samsung I installed the update myself by getting the already released version they seed in Italy since a few days.
Almost the same. Lte and German Sim card working, everything like if is supposed to. I think installing the Italian update is not a problem.
Works like a charm. Much faster then before. Some screens are following. I can recommend it to everyone that doesn't want to longer. St least for me there's is no problem.

Is a factory reset needed? Or can you keep all your apps and settings?

All kept like normal update OTA. Just in download mode, installed update, took less then 5 Minutes and everything like before, except new Android version. Pretty smooth.

Is your device a T715 or T715Y? Does it even make any difference? I have a T715Y (imported from China, I think) and have downloaded the Nougat ROM (which is noted as being for T715 (but not specifically fore the T715Y) from Sammobile and tried installing it using Odin 3.12 but it fails. I also tried using Odin 3.11 which also fails. Both ran as Administrator.
Current ROM Build Number is T715YDXU2BPJ1
Can anyone give me some idea of where I might be going wrong?

I think you need a rom for your device (https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-T715Y/).
For me the update with the italian version worked great and I now have a german-austrian-italian S2 :laugh:

I have sm t 715 without y. Differences between the both devices I don't know but I'd suggest you wait until the proper firmware is release for your device. As far as I see there is no android 7 rolled out four your device.

Any ETA on Android 7.0 for the real SM-T715Y? Does anybody know anything?
I got the SM-T710 XSA Nougat update some time ago now. But I bought the 4G version off Gumtree and it is still stuck with 6.0.1 which means the lowlife carriers are probably halting the updates.
It is disgusting. With carrierless Samsung Galaxy smartphones, Samsung waits for the carriers in XSA region to start to release their crapware, before they release the official Samsung firmware. I do not know if this occurs in other regions.
FYI, the SM-T715Y is the real Tab S2. The SM-T715 has very few firmware regions and was probably made for dodgy countries with outdated cell towers. Look them up on sammobile.com/firmwares
Thanks people!
