Hello.I have a question: What is BTU?In kies, it says the firmware,which is XXUMK8(BTU) and I don't know what it means. I know that MKF and even ML1 are out and I didn't received them. Can this be because of this BTU?Thanks.

Hi guys,
I have a GT-i9505 and I really want to flash to a more updated stock rom from my carrier, my current build is JDQ39.I9505XXUAMDM, I am on a T-Mobile contract (phone always says EE though) and want to flash from the BTU unbranded rom to T-Mobile UK... I cannot find a ROM for T-Mobile UK though........
Can someone please help me and what I can do?
I've looked on samsung-updates and sammobile... Thanks.

Stay with the BTU ones, the ones from Carrier get updated very very slowly. Even my Carrier didn't receive 3 รก 4 updates for i9505.
Ok, but my point being that the carrier ones have received 2/3 updates in the time since my last one, my last one being April...

the latest firmware for T-mobile (EE) is ME2 http://www.hotfile.com/dl/223630332/b11f79b/I9505XXUAME2_I9505EVRAMDB_EVR.zip.html but for the unbranded BTU is MDM (older)
you can flash any new unbranded firmware MEA or MF8

Of course it works, unless your planning to root.
hmmm, i'm in exactly the same situation. how does flashing work on this phone? do i need to unlock bootloader or anything like that? i don't want to mess about the unlocking things or rooting, i want totally stock though :\

Thanks samersh72, flashed the ME2 stock, all working here.
Ive rooted my SGS5 GT-I9505, un-installed some preinstalled app but now when I try to do an OTA it gives me the error: Your Device is modified, no software update available, Someone answered my question abut it and it seems that I need to install Unroot my phone. Base on the artice: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2265477 it says that I need to Flash Carrier Network, My question is do you have stock firmaware for my carrier. Im using Globe (Philippines). How do I do that? Thanks.

[Q] Flashing a stock rom from differne region

Is it possible to flash official stock firmware for Note 3 from region other than the original region of the phone? For example I have Note 3, N9005 from middle east (which has 4.3), can I flash a stock rom from a region for which 4.4.2 is available? Will this brick the phone? Will the phone be locked for that specific region in case flashing is successful? Any other problems? Did anyone did this before?
i have the same concern as yours, i have a Note3 and i am from the middle east can i download a stock rom from Europe for example Germany ??

Did you successfully flash another country's firmware? As I'm not using Kies, I'm not even sure which country it comes from! I'm a little worried about baseband being different in different countries.
Came across this, which suggests it might not work in the first place: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53721117&postcount=5
I flashed with odin a firmware for g900h from south africa that looked to me it had kinda same csc letters. Worked fine and now i have latest software for my phone. Kies recognise it also. All ok. No problem with modem or basebands or anything. My phone is carrier free so unlocked.

My S5 is also THR, so I looked-up sammobile for firmwares with PDA:NCI, PHONE: NCI and CSC: NCH.
Found Irak and Egypt to match those and both have the NE2 update available. Not sure I'll proceed with this considering some users reported bricked device and had to find the appropriate firmware. What if there are none for this country?
I wonder where to get the original thr firmware also. I flashed as i mentioned and all working great

Flashed MID country, but no unlock setting for s-view case. Not sure I had this option before though? Don't have the s-view case either, maybe that option shows up when the case is there?
that wasn't the case on my GS4, maybe someone can confirm??

Too late but maybe this is a help for other persons, You can flash: THR, ACR,MID,XSG,PAK,EGY,XFA,AFG,TMC,TUN ; All this firmwares are the same. Install "Phone Info app" to see the codes that you can flash. For Lollipop I have flashed Panama (TPA) and works ok.

My phone didn't received 5.0 update

it says "The latest updates have already been installed" but it's 4.4.2 now.
Model number is SM-N900

Ask them.
Is the system rooted? If 5.0 stock ROM is available from sammobile.com, you could flash it via Odin.

I think your device is from some of the countries that still without android lollipop (Iran, Israel (Cellcom) or Panama) if the latest updates have already been installed. You can install this APP and verify it by yourself.
