Omega - Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hi,
Looking to either purchase S4 or One (probably what everybody debates). Looked at the Omega 5.0 thread and saw that we are on the 5th release for "final stock firmware"? I am on AT&T in the US and was just wondering, where exactly are these firmwares coming from? OTA? AT&T is VERY slow with updates so you may forgive me for my confusion. All these firmware updates are 4.2.2 so is it just bug fixes? Not really following (I'm currently on a S2 Skyrocket and we've only had 2 updates like ever from GB to ICS to JB and that took literally YEARS)
Thank You!

Installed this. eMMC Chip Revision 0x19! In otherwise, still bad according to bug checker. Is it possible the checking app is, excuse the pan, Bugged?
AFAIK, there is nothing new in this ROM kernel, as this ROM appeared OTA today, otherwise it was released more than wk ago.
waiting for responce from OP regarding his statement, otherwise should be reported to Mod, as it may misguide and more bricking will follows.
From the Moderator
To All in this thread, to date....... there is no known stable fix for the emmc bug Yet........ Chainfire, Original_Gangaman, Reinbeau,Myself (oka1) and other Elite Developers Will SOUND THE TRUMPETS !! once a correct fix is out.
Until then, Be wary of anyone who states otherwise.....
Also, Qazibasit, don't write so poorly

linking the reference
Facebook page of samsung pakistan stated this and i am searching that post. But they replaced it and are busy boosting about their siii. I called the samsung distribution and they said they will email me and after verification. Well this is a non-wipe version and after upgrading i had my usual GB stuff restored and optimized for ics.

Release P7510XWMPE_P7510OXXMPB_NEE

Dear all,
On Sammobile a 2013 release for the P7510 was posted: P7510XWMPE_P7510OXXMPB_NEE (Nordic countires). Unfortunately, the link is not working and the Android version is not mentioned (most probably another ICS 4.0.4 with bug fixes or so). Does anyone have more info on this release? Or has a link for this firmware? Thanks in advance.
Hi, it seems the link is corrected now.

Yes, here's the link: http://www.hotfile.com/dl/198204214/ba96d1e/P7510XWMPE_P7510OXXMPB_NEE.zip.html I am quite surprised that ROM is released for the "good old" Tab 10.1 (P7510) in 2013. This gives hope for more (JB ???). Yes..I'll dream on.
have any of you guys tried it out yet?
Is it jellybean or another 4.0.4?
Pretty sure it's another ICS release. Had no idea they were still working on this old tablet.
Its 4.04. Installed no problem.
Sent from my GT-I9300
The latest one is P7510UBLP4 ... released July 2013 for Brazil.
And as expected, its still ICS.
I'm going to flash it in awhile because I need a stock tab for office email use.
Too bad I am already happy with a few months of using Android 4.3 (CM10.2/SGT7), but my iPhone was sold so have to go legalize the tab again.

Hi dverbame,
I read on another post that Samsung will port the 4.4.4 by September for N9005 international. So let's wait until October to see if they succeed in it.
By the way, once the 4.4.4 is available by Samsung, a lot of Custom Stock firmwares will appear very soon after, here :

(but i am not so in the hurry of installing it as it is embedding KNOX 2.0)

Android 5.0 - NOTE 3 SM-9005 SNAPDRAGON

Hey,
Does anyone here know when is the release date of Android 5.0 for SM-N9005 SNAPDRAGON INTERNATIONAL?
I really want to have it in my phone
If you really want it now, you should consider flashing the leaked rom with odin. I have it on my device for about aa month or so, and it's very stable no problems and fewer crashes or reboots than KitKat
I would prefer to install OTA
Any expected release date?!

When the hell is Lollipop coming for my Note 4!? N910F.. Nordic...

Not really. It rolled out what seems to be a soak test in a couple of territories and has since seemingly pulled it. The german DBT / multi CSC version wasn't even rolled out via OTA only through Kies.
Now it's unavailable on kies leaving users like myself with unbranded German DBT (CSC model) devices completely unable to flash it without downloading it from external sources and using ODIN.
Lollipop 5.0.1 seems to have gone officially into 'limbo' and were all guessing what this means for us. Perpetual wait for 5.0.2 or 5.1 ? Why did they stop rolling it out ? Are they going to fix and update to newer material design contacts/dialer/messages in a new lollipop version ?
Basically we just don't know and as per usual - play the Android waiting game.

I'd rather wait for the 5.0.2 version that the S6 is shipping with than use the current version. Or even better jump straight to 5.1.

you're right. Actually it's getting pretty bizarre. Samsung was hinting a Lollipop release in October 2014 (I know....hinting is no date) That was FIVE MONTHS ago without any information from Samsung. I HAD to install the DBT lollipop rom because my device was working very bad on KK (out of the box lot's of lags/crashes - had it tested but no solution) It's a better now but i'm not happy i'm actually still running a beta.
Right now Samsung is more focused on the s6. We have to wait but it's a bit strange indeed.
I feel your pain bro. My device (N910U) received its last update 73+ days ago: http://live.samsung-updates.com/index.php?device=SM-N910U
And Sammy is pushing out Note 3 updates...
You know, I don't complain.... Much.
But yeah, I'm with you. You don't just leave people dangling. Samsung pissess me off so much sometimes.
Here we are, holding the Note 4, and I don't know about you but I feel very not proud of my flagship phone.
I'm a first time Samsung user but I'm going back to the Chinese. Huawei treats me like a God every time I buy a flagship from them. I bought the note on a drunken whim. I love the pen!
However, is too expensive and I hate feeling like a school-child waiting for goodies.
I can't wait for the P8.

The 5.0.1 Lollipop rom is apart from some small bugs fine. If it was a soak test, why have they released the sources for it?
What ticks me off so much is the freaking lack of device priority in this update nonsense, not one S5 or definitely any NOTE 3 should be getting this update before the Note 4, we paid the big bucks for it; we should have top priority since it's the newest device (apart from the s6, but still that's far off) . and apparently the Sprint Note 4 is getting the update roll out today when T-Mobile says they haven't even received the update from Samsung yet. This is really starting to tick me off. Next flagship Windows Phone rolls around I'll be out of this game, I didn't have to wait for carrier approval, I just got it plain and simple without wait.
2 us carriers have it now
Just flash German lollipop I did it yesterday and it works flawless

It has already been said a million times and confirmed by Oculus themselves...The delay of Lollipop has nothing to do with the gear VR...
Those of you who are so eager to get Lollipop while having the N910F variant, just flash the Polish firmware and there you have it...others with the N910G/H will have to wait though.
Still waiting! Anyone know the delay? Who have got it in Europe? Germany. Poland. Anyone else?
ive been using lollipop for a few weeks now.
IMO its crap.. it really is not better then kitkat.
if i could downgrade back to kitkat without loosing my apps settings and files i would do it right away
