Omega

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!

Note 8 - 3g+wifi stock rom

I tried to follow thread to restore stock rom on my note 8 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1945195 however when i went to website mentioned in it to download the rom, i can see new zealand in the list. i bought this note from ebay and it work fine here in nz. it is 3G+wifi verion N5100 having 4.1.2 baseband n5100xxbmc8 build number Jzo54k.n5100xxbmd1. i very confused about the rom's which one should i use? becuase if i try to find to find rom using n5100xxbmc8 it comes up with different country- Germany. will it work? then i thought i should try 4.2.2 but still there is non for NZ rather there are non-english countries rom. will it work?

It'll work just fine, mine came from India I believe, as soon as it came i flashed the Germany firmware (despite me being in the UK) as the Germans seem to get the latest firmwares sooner.

Tried this and my wifi went wild uploading goodness knows what, very quickly went back to an earlier version.

No problem!
Probably is this one:
http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=SM-P605
Installed last week but i haven't found anything new, unless the location icon on control center.

It is possible root this ROM by Towelroot?

not on sammobile

Build date has nothing to do with publishing date. They mostly publish roms a month or two after the date of build. Check this on earlier published builds and you'll see.

SamMobile has a Live feed showing the newest firmware downloading on their database, and it showed up on 21/2, thrust me i've seen it (great coincidence as i hardly look there) since then i've never seen this update on this site again.
It's rootable using towelroot if you downgrade the kernel (4.4.2), i've done it.
Had a problem with screen mirroring to a Sony Bravia TV (didn't had with older PT firmware).

Ok, thanks. So first i must flash new firmware, NF2 kernel and use towelroot. Next flash again P605XXUDOB1 kernel. Where i get the kernel P605XXUDOB1?

I saw several posts of people who reported massive problems of the official India firmware.
The new update is probably only a fixed 4.4.4 firmware

Thanks for your quick response.

P580 firmware source?

Can anyone recommend a *reliable* download source for the sm-p580 firmware? The link in my newbie guide is no longer working.

I did before I posted. I'm guessing you didn't.

I found this website for the SM-P580....
w##.samdown.com/samsung/SM-P580/
But I am unsure of the reliability of any of the firmwares listed...
I did get the original link to show up today(it didn't yesterday though...)
Waiting on the USA Download now

I am still waiting for SamMobile to have the firmware available for download before I attempt anything. It's has been months. I won't download a firmware for my SM-580 from a untrusted site.

I live in India but I purchased my Tab A 10.1 with S Pen from the US. Recently I read on the Internet everywhere that Nougat has started rolling out for SM-P580, but I don't know, I don't seem to receive it yet. Tried manual pulling of the OTA as well. But of no use. Tried connecting using VPNS but still no update. Did anyone in the US receive it yet? If yes can you please post the screenshots and also how did you receive the update ?

Germany has it first but nothing for the US yet. I have both Tab A 10.1 and Tab A 10.1 with S pen. I think the news article was a lie.
