Hey guys.
First of all, I've been searching around pretty much, and I have found threads about my problem, but nothing that really been exactly what i've been looking for. The reason I'm making my own thread is just because i really don't wanna screw anything up.
SO..
Model: SM-N9005
Current Android version: 4.3
Base band: N9005XXUDMK2
Current Rom: HAWKISH ELITE SERIE
SELinux-status: Enforcing, SEPF_SM-N900_4.3_0021
What I want is to get back to stock, safely, and update my Galaxy Note to the latest official firmware available. And after that, root it if it's possible. But I mainly just want to get back to stock, and update it to the latest original Samsung android version.
If my situation has been solved in another thread, please link me to it cuz I can't find it. Thanks guys!
Well, friends XDA
I appreciate a lot if you can help me on something I have a huge doubt, many of you know about the topic: CUSTOMS ROMS
A couple of weeks ago i acquired the model of Samsung galaxy s4 version At & T which has android 4.3 Jelly Bean and band based I337UCUEMK2, the problem is this, I currently reside in Paraguay, and so this i can not upgrade my version Android to more recent than to come as (4.4.2) apparently at & t blocks it seems
Then I thought of putting on myself updates or modify the phone with customs roms, here comes the big problem ..... Apparently the current baseband version that is in my phone; has locked the phone in every way since and I read on various forums and I see the same thing: they CAN NOT INSTALL CUSTOM ROMS ANDA RECOVERYS IN ANY WAY
I found some forms of allegedly putting something called safestrap "A CUSTOM RECOVERY" NOT WORKED FOR ME ANYTHING, as all Custom roms downloaded and tried the phone did not work simply not initiated (F### THIS S4) .
THIS IS MY QUESTION
CAN I CHANGE MY BASEBAND VERSION FOR MY OWN?- AND HOW TO DO THAT ? WITH ODIN?
THANKS FOR THE HELP FRIENDS
Look for the nb1 tar file in the general forum. Flash that with Odin.

I'm owning S4 I337 with unlocked SIMcard. and rooted so i can't update my phone.
My system is: Android 4.2.2 - UCUAMF3 -kernel 3.4.0-812098 SELinux: permissive
I looked up a lot, and I'm confusing with everything on MF3 now. So i would need your specific helps with some steps.
Could you guide me to get the latest firmware, or install the best ROM to my phone ( i don't know what is best such as ROM, Kernel, CSC,etc..)
And now i'm living in VIETNAM, so with all best that i need it customize in VIETNAM region (GPS so weak), thanks you so much.
Language is not a problem, thanks again
Hope you guys help me pleaseeeeee !!
Ok so here's my dilemma:
I have searched and searched for about 4 straight days on what to do and can't seem to pinpoint the procedure I need to enforce. This is my first posting by the way, and I'm kind of a noob to all of this stuff, but extremely intrigued by it all, that I can't seem to put my phone or laptop away as long as I have the free time to do more research.
I just recently rooted my Samsung Galaxy S5 variant G900F (was extremely excited that it was a success on my first try!). I just purchased this device in July (and it came unlocked as far as to using whichever carrier I wanted). Now, what I'm looking to do is update my firmware (from what I've gathered, I believe I need to do that in order to install a custom ROM? If I'm wrong, please correct me). So my device information is as follows:
MODEL: SM-G900F
PRODUCT NAME: kltexx
PRODUCT CODE: SM-G900FZWAMRU
PDA: G900FXXS1CQD8
CSC: G900FOJP1CQB1
BASEBAND: G900FXXU1CQB1
BOOTLOADER: G900FXXS1CQD8
BUILDNUMBER: MMB29M.G900FXXS1CQD8
ANDROID VERSION: 6.0.1
KERNEL VERSION: 3.4.0-10662519
GPU: Qualcomm Adreno (TM) 330
MODEM: MSM8974PRO
I don't know what other information someone would need in order to help point me in the right direction of what I need to do, but it would be greatly appreciated! If you need any other information, let me know! I can't seem to tell which region this device is typically set up for (as I said, I'm a noob) so if someone can explain that a little, that would be wonderful too. Thank you so much!!

Hi,
Your case seems to be llike somebody comes to a shop asking the shop assistant: "I want to buy something but I don't know what"
But now to be serious - in order to help you, you need to specify what you really want to achieve because from what you wrote I am not sure.
You have SM-G900F phone with latest MM 6.0.1 firmware for Mauritus (MRU) region. So you should be good to go.
If you just want to play with your phone, then OK but you should be aware that when you root your phone or flash any of the custom firmware you will loose your warranty. You wrote that you are rooted already so that is it -> KNOX flag is set 0x1. But if you bought a used phone then you should bother too much with that (warranty doesn't matter).
To flash any of the compatible custom roms you usually need a custom recovery (for example TWRP) and you are free to flash custom roms (following OP instructions of course).
That's it for the beginning

Thank you! Well my initial goal was to install a custom rom but couldn't seem to find one that included my build number, so was a little confused. There's many to choose from, but I can't just download any of them. Or does a specified build number not convenient?
I have the TWRP downloaded, for some reason I thought I needed to update my firmware since I didn't see it anywhere as far as roms went. I'm mostly experimenting right now. I looked into rooting for 4 months before I finally did it. And now I'm overwhelmed with excitement of all the things I can do, that I don't know where to start! So I thought a different ROM would be a good start. I really enjoy customizing my phone and making it as unique as possible, any suggestions as far as which ROM I can do?

Well, now I know a little bit more. You are on the latest stock rom foreseen for your region. So you are good to go for any customization. To flash a custom rom you need a custom recovery. when you are already rooted the easiest way is to install TWRP app from the Play store:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=me.twrp.twrpapp
and flash the recovery.
Before flashing any custom rom it is highly recommended to do nandroid backup from TWRP (backup of all important partitions of your phone).
Then you can try a custom rom. Check this subforum:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/development
or this:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s5/unified-development
and find a rom of your choice. Read carefully the OP (compatibility, features, issues) and decide.
You might start with LineageOS based on android 7.X Nougat. But be aware that custom roms might have some bugs and are based on pure android sources so they will give you pure android experience. Some might love it but some are disappointed
Hi All
I have a Samsung S4 I9500 in South Africa and recently it's been acting up on the Wifi - keep turning itself off and on.
I've tried pretty much every fix I could find from resetting the phone to Factory Default down to Battery Reset, etc.
My last hope is to root the phone and load the latest Android Version available for my phone before I finally shelve this phone for good.
I'm totally new to Rooting and google has been my friend - info is plentiful but my problem is I can't find a root file for my specific Build.
Below Some details for my Phone
Model - GT-I9500
Android Version - 5.0.1
Baseband Version - I9500XXUH0G2
Build Number - LRX22C.I9500XXUH0H6
Please can someone help me find the correct files required to root my phone?
Thanks a million

First flash TWRP, then flash Magisk and you will have Root. If you want to flash another ROM, root is not needed.
You can find eveyrhting about how to flash ROMs etc in my guides/collection. I recommend you to do clean install from scratch.
