Latest Firmware

Sorry for being such a noob but I have never ordered a device internationally before. Anyways I have just rooted my device (SM-P605) and I'm curious what the latest firmware is because I don't believe I get OTA upgrades here in the States. Right now I'm running Android 4.3 on baseband version P605XXUBMJ4 and Build Number JSS15J.P605ZSUBMJ6.
Is there a newer version I should be using? Trying to check via the official bounces me to Your device has been modified. Software updates are not available.
Also, are there plans for Kit Kat in the future? Or perhaps there already is a mod that includes the latest version of Android.

MJ9 is the Latest i guess

This is why you can't get OTA updates - because you are rooted.
This is where you can get the latest firmware

Yes, but no release date is set, or known by us. Samsung said "soon".
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2601477

How do I manually upgrade to MJ9? Do I need to un-root and flash to stock before doing anything. I also notice that my basebuild and build are running different numbers. How did that happen, is it a problem, and how do you fix it?

I'd also like to know if there is a specific version of the upgrade that I need to download. Region specific. I don't want to brick it. Will any download of P605XXUBMJ9 run perfectly on this device? Do I also need a certain file to upgrade the baseband?

downloaded, rooted (de la vega) and installed. Works perfectly. now would be interesting to know the change-log

I flashed the Italian ML1 and the note is working fine.

You will not brick it, in the worst case you'd have to flash it again with another CSC. CSC is the region of your device. For a close shot, forget about the country and either flash US firmwares if your device is US, or EU firmwares if your device is anywhere from Europe.
No, it is included in the firmware file. There is absolutely no reason to look for a baseband file (or RIL).
Unless your driver somehow got screwed, which usually happens when you install wrong, or badly matched kernels. In that case you will hear very disturbed sound (this error is very clear, if you get this problem, you know 100% that it is there. It isn't like "did i hear a scratch in my speaker for a second?").

Get Odin, get the drivers, read the instruction. Just the usual odin procedure.
You don't need to unroot/re-stock, but if you are very paranoid, you can use a custom recovery to wipe /system before flashing (don't do it unless you know you need it. If you don't - you don't need to do it. I am only telling you this because you might want it in the future when you try many different modded ROMs).
Baseband and build v. can differ, this is not a problem nor something you should worry about.

have u guys tried older firmware like mj2 or mia? if mj9 is hackable then older versions also likely can be hacked from what i learnt. but the question is, whether a bootloader downgrade is allowed/possible

no one tried it yet? i have read a post that someone flashed a bootloader from another variant and he can flashed it back with the stock one successfully

do you know if there is any firmware for sm-p605 with multiple user support?

No there isnt. When KitKat comes we get Multiuser Support.

You can't downgrade the bootloader.
Flashing an older firmware that the bootloader doesn't support will end up with a tablet hanging on the samsung logo. Just need to reflash newer firmware to fix
Flashing a bootloader for another device - you might as well throw it off a highrise and hope it still works when it hits bottom...
P600 and P601 roms WILL NOT work with the P605. It's like trying to use helicopter parts to fix a car engine....

[Q] Cant update via Kies. CSC doesnt match. Newbie Questions

Hello, Im new to this forum and hope not violating any rules..
I just bought Galaxy S4 i9500 and has stock 4.2.2 installed. Cant update to kitkat neither with settings, nor with KIES 2.6/3.
Kies 2.6 says " Your Device's Current firmware version is not supported to update firmware via Kies. " (see attch)
I'm total newbie with these CSC codes and nor googling helped me out with all my questions:
How to make CSC and phone sales codes match safely without flashing official rom?
I bought AFR version S4 designed for Kenya in republic of Georgia (Asia/Europe). There is no firmware designed for Georgia. So does this mean I will never be able to obtain updates OTA or via Kies?
Phone INFO and such apps didnt work coz it couldnt find "preconfig" file.. Does this mean flashing is the only way? Which websites are good for official stock firmwares?

Here is my question..
1) Will this baseband region phone ever receive OTA update?
2) if NOT, then should i use services that samfirmware.com offers?
if YES, then can i install official firmware originally created for another baseband? For example can i use Russian I9500XXUGNG3 kitkat on my I9500XXUBMG9 ?
Doesnt it void waranty?
What are the risks of bricking? i mean basebands differ from each other, isnt that problem?
Also Im dissapointed with 2G call voice, sometimes i barely hear caller.. Can this be Baseband problem? I think this bmg9 baseband was originally for IRAQ carriers and im here in Georgia, which doesnt have specific baseband i guess...
I would be extremely grateful to those who answer me in this hard time ^^

Hi mate ,
First thing if you are in 4.2.2 is a shame to upgrade the bootloader..is Knox free
Your official updates most like it are blocked because you do not have the right CSC , download a nice little app from the market call PHONE INFO there it will tell you what your CSC is , this app can also change your CSC as long as it is available in the rom ( if you do backup first changing the CSC will do a factory reset)
Regarding your questions
1 OTA are CSC dependent
2 Samfirmware is good , and reliable you can go that way also
Second part of your questions
1 you can flash firmware for other countries , that is not a problem , BUT you may have problem with what languages are available , specific country services may not be available , no OTA
2 As long as you only flash stock rom (odin) you will not void the warranty
3 Briking is always a risk but when flashing not for different basebands
4 Maybe , for sure the right baseband would help

Alrighty. I dw-ed two apps, both named Phone Info. I just have a questions:
If I change CSC code to USA will I get OTA updates as soon as USA citizens get it? Doesnt it depend that im outside of USA?
Is there any cons for changing CSC?
My country, is not listed in CSC codes.. Is there a way i can always get OTA updates?

Hi,
A knox free bootloader is important if warranty some how is important for you , other wise there are the same
Regarding your first set of questions
1 Not an expert on kies but as long as all the csc inpho match it should , unless there is an issue with kies registration or IP
2 CSC give you country specifics network set ups , differnt countries have different set ups , fastdormancy , special services.......
3 you need to flash a stock rom from your country or region
Yes flashing firmware may change the csc code.

Upgrading from Android 4.3 to 4.4.. How to?

Hi,
Are you talking about upgrade from stock 4.3 to stock 4.4.2? if so there is no need to root , just go to Sammobile.com find the rigght firmware and flash it ( Odin)

Thanks!
On SAM Mobile now.
How do i find out which country the phone belongs to along with knowing the correct firmware to get?
I should note i got the phone from Australia, however i cannot see Australia in the firmware list for GT-I9505.
Thanks
Just an update.
Not sure if its possible to flash to 4.4 because I've just been on SAMMobile.
Clicked on FIRMWARE
Then clicked Check Your Firmware.
Which i did. The phone is unlocked so i just chose vodafone.
Then it directs me to a 2013 update which is android 4.3.
So does that mean i can't get one for 4.4？

Hi mate ,
For Australia seems like the newest firmware is 4. 3 but you can flash a firmware from other " similar" countries like UK , check other countries that you may consider closer to yours
for example
BTU means unbranded
Model: GT-I9505
Model name: GALAXY S4 LTE
Country: United Kingdom
Version: Android 4.4.2
Changelist: 481100
Build date: Fri, 14 Feb 2014 03:15:30 +0000
Product Code: BTU
PDA: I9505XXUFNB9
CSC: I9505BTUFNE1
MODEM: I9505XXUFNB9
CSC: I9505BTUFNE1
Language is similar and if the modem gives you problems ( it should not) you can always flash ( odin) another the only thing you may lose would be maybe any specific carrier service that is on your current carrier rom you have in your phone and your CSC will be from UK ( in this case)

You can try installing Kies 3 Connecting your phone and see if it promotes an Update

Ok guys thank you.
So if i were to get the latest UK one. How likely is it my sim would still work in it?
I currently use vodafone in AU and uk also has vodafone. So would i be better off getting a vodafone uk firmware or just an unlocked one?
Cos the s4 is actually unlocked already.
If you could perhaps link me to the correct firmware id really appreciate it. I just really dont wanna screw this up.
Any info you require i can give you. I know for sure it is a GT-I9505 and that it was purchased unlocked in australia.
Thank you.

Hi,
Sim will work ok
Your choice vodafone or unbranded should be fine ( unbranded is newer) , unbranded ( no carrier stuff on it) has nothing to do with network lock
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=30963 (vodafone)
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=31852 ( unbranded)
back up your app , data , contacts , pictures , music and use this app to make a backup of your EFS folder ( there is your imei info) just in case
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.spocky.galaxsimunlock&hl=en

hi
they basically say the same ...... there is only one way to flash stock , in your case you do not need to flash the PIT file
from sammobile:
Instructions
Extract (unzip) the firmware file
Download Odin v3.09
Extract Odin zip-file
Open Odin v3.09
Reboot phone in Download Mode (press and hold Home + Power + Volume Down buttons)
Connect phone and wait until you get a blue sign in Odin
Add the firmware file to AP / PDA
Make sure re-partition is NOT ticked
Click the start button, sit back and wait a few minutes

Ok thats everything i need thanks so much.
Just one last question.. Can this process be done using a mac or am i better off using an XP based machine?
Thanks guys

Hi ,
Odin is windows based , it should work in a XP machine as long as the samsung usb drivers are updated

Ok cool.
I will use an XP based machine.
Ok so i now have odin and i now have the 1.54GB firmware package.
I can do the update as per the instructions.
But you suggested getting the latest USB Drivers for my device...
How would I find these drivers?
Is it just a matter of having the latest Kies right??
Thank you.

Some questions about Firmware update

Hi,
I want to update my phone to Official Android Lollipop v5.
Can i install any other country's firmware on my device?
If yes then 'll this void my phone's warranty?
Can i get official updates in the future after upgrade*using other country's firmware?
Which firmware/update you suggest for my device?
If any problem occours then can i degrade back to previous version of android?
Here is my phone info.
Device: SM-G900H
Product ID: SM-G900HZDAPAK
PDA/Phone:*G900HXXU1ANG3
CSC: G900HOJV1ANG1
Thanks,

Try installing KIES3 and connecting your phone to the PC to check for updates
If none, grab a stock ROM for your model S5 from sammobile (No links allowed on XDA)
If the ROM is a stock Samsung ROM, it will NOT void your warranty so long as you use ODIN to flash it
Yes you can downgrade again by the same method
No idea about OTA updates, you'll likely end up with OTA updates for that countries ROMs
Any country ROM will work, but you might have issues with network, must be for your model S5

Update to 5.0

Hey guys!
i recently got Galaxy S5 ( screenshot Attached) i got it used, and at the time of buying i didn't know it was rooted. It has Android 4.2.2 when i try to update via System update. It says Operating system on your device has been modified in unauthorisd way....... so i cant seem to update my phone. Is there any way to get the new update Lolipop i try to search by i cant seem to find something related to my baseband G900fzhu1ancd .
so if anybody can guide me in the right direction will highly appreciated. I'm very new to This flashing and Rom stuff, but what i figured is we need to find same Rom that can support our baseband version?? we cannot flash any Rom? Right???

Go to sammobile . com and enter your S5 Model (G900F) into the firmware section, select your region from the drop down, and download that ROM
Instructions for flashing that to your S5 are under the download on that site

What is your S5 Model? You can used even the firmware of other country as long as you have the same model no problem with that. Based on my experienced I am from Philippines and I am using UK which is my original baseband is XTC.

sorry my bad. As far as I know and based on my experience yes as long as same model. I do not know and not so sure about your device but on my device it is possible. Originally a XTC and currently using UK

maybe anybody can comment further thanks for your replies..

Just pick the closest region to you for the G900F if that is your model, if you can't find your own
BTU = United Kingdom

yes my model number is G900F.
