Here we go again: LATEST_FW_VERSION: I9100XWKE2/I9100XEUKD1/I9100XXKDJ/I9100XWKE2

Seems like they're on a roll. Build date 6th May.
Available via Kies, don't have an ODIN link yet.
Download link for ODIN: Megaupload or multiupload

Jesus Christ. Is there a change log somewhere?

Wow. It sucks that stuff was broken in the first place but you've got to give Samsung credit for staying on top of it and turning these releases around. I'm glad I won't have my phone until tomorrow. I'll be able to skip some of the gymnastics. I really hope this one nails the battery issues.

ODIN ODIN ODIN. I already froze Kies, and have no intention of unfreezing it, lol.

lol this is fun, well i will get use to using odin i guess so its a good thing, let us know when u have the link
Please

Uploading Odin version now (is no one will beat me to it)

Come again?
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=AM2P1S22

is that baseband or build number?
because my basband is kdj
and is this for unlocked uk versions?

Download:
http://www.multiupload.com/7OCBLBD7V9

Would anyone be kind enough to upload the new kernel on it's own or tell me how to extract it from the files so that I can re-flash after rooting

If you have XWKE1, you have the latest baseband. But this update will still give you a PDA update.
Kies only release them as a package, that's why you have to apply it all, even though you only need the PDA update.
Yes, it is unlocked UK version.
If you have Korean or O2 versions, please check your Kies for updates, do not use these files.

Thanks for the link, only just woke up and got so excited that theres another firmware I didn't look

Thanks very much for the download links. Flashed with odin keeping eyes open for any noticeable differences!

Kies is downloading the firmware now...
Anyone know if we can still successfully root after this update?

Yep, just rooted. All is still good

Why Does the filename say XEUKD1 whereas the latest PDA version is XEUKD2? Is that a mistake or the PDA updates to XEUKD1

New to Samsung flashing.. Do i just flash the tar file as PDA in Odin?

Just updated 02 simfree all fine

Finished updating.
Don't see any immediate changes...

Help - Flash UK frimware to HK SM-N9005 32GB
I know there are other questions and ive seen people mention PIT files and other bits..... I was just wondering if someone could give me a step by step Dummy's guide to flashing my phone with STOCK UK firmware - I realize this means all future updates would be manual and not OTA and that hopefuly this will not mess uk KNOX.
If anyone can assist me with this i would be very very grateful.

You gotta be really careful with HK Note's as they're set up different to the normal one.
Flashing stock 4.4.2 is a nightmare, you will get Ext4 errors. -- Then you need to root and install a custom recovery to fix your issues.
You need to get your PIT file, if you fail flashing normal stock, then you need to re-partition with your PIT file and flash a clean firmware on it. There is quite a bit around XDA about it, ad you really would need to read up on all the methods or you will find yourself in a tricky situation especially if you wish to preserve KNOX (PS if you have a HK Note then you're not under warranty anyway as it's an import so KNOX doesn't mean anything to you unless you are using it for the secure container. Plus UK law around KNOX isn't too bad if it is tripped)
Good luck, if you get super stuck come back and we'll see what we can do

There is no returning to 4.3 once you have upgraded your bootloader to 4.4.2

You mentioned nogo to 4.3 due to bootloader however i dindt check the bootloader option in odin (see screenshot). Should i tick that as well next time?

Well there is some debate as to if you should check the bootloader or not.
With the leaked Polish firmware it came in seperate files. You needed to check to upgrade the Bootloader.
With the XEO single .zip firmware you don't need to check it as it upgrades automatically - plenty agree with this. -- There is a few people who say that by not checking it, it hasn't upgraded for them and some just recommend you check it for good luck sake.

Normally after the odin flash, all apps/data etc are there? If not what is the best/tried method of backup without root?

MEGA is country based per account. So if I upload to my MEGA it comes from a UK Server which is slow to Asia/America etc, trick is to set up your own MEGA account, and then import it from the download MEGA link and it'll switch to a server in your country and you'll get faster download speeds

SM-N915W8 Canadian NOTE EDGE

Hey just got my edge today, looks like there is very little going on as it was just released a few days ago despite it being out in the states for quite some time, the only difference I believe is the LTE in the Canadian version.
Anyways, coming from the note 2, 3 and 4 and the trtlecan version always being close to the trtletmo I decided to risk it and flash the tmo cf auto root and recovery despite there being no stock firmware laying around on sammmobile the others..
annnd I'm happy to report that I now have a TWRP recovery, rooted, SM-N915W8.
go ahead and follow the very detail steps in this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-edge/general/easy-steps-stock-odin-n915tuvu1anjl-sm-t2943993
MAKE SURE TO READ THE PART ABOUT IT FAILING (to flash cwm) AND THAT BEING OK being flashing TWRP
and then the BRIGHTNESS SETTINGS inside recovery which will look like you have sleep lock if you don't fix them before letting the screen timeout
and have all 4 files on hand before you start!

Awesome, thanks for the info, I was debating it but just was being a chicken. I'm glad everything worked out. Did you make a nand? If so did you flash the nand just to make sure everything was OK? Are your root apps working without issues.? I don't mind taking the risk...just wanna be sure

Tried flashing Hyperdrive Edge for T-Mo with both twrp (2.8.1.1) and cwm (6.0.5.1 Xiaolu) referenced in the root guide by OP. They flashed without error but I got bootlooped both times. Luckily backup/restore works for both recoveries.

Does anyone know of a way to get back to stock recovery after flashing cwm or twrp? Any known location of a stock image?

Go to sammobile web site...download the original firmware for your model and flash it. When u flash original firmware everything will be back to stock including recovery..and you will be able to receive ota update. To flash stock firmware...just use odin. Search this forum for instruction on how to flash using odin.

Yeah I know about sammobile, flashing via Odin etc. There's no stock firmware uploaded for the Canadian variants yet so I was wondering of an alternate method to flash the stock recovery. I tried extracting the recovery from the stock image via ADB shell, converting to tar.md5, then flashing with Odin but it failed....likely because I'm rooted. Guess I'll have to wait until the firmware gets uploaded. Thanks anyway.

Try contacting the sammobile team...and their forum..they maybe able to help..

Arg, that really bites. Now I have a new phone I cant use at all. You'd think the firmware would be released when the phone was. Have you tried the other roms? I can't even gwt onto my internal sd to put them on the phone so I can try installing them. So frustrated.

Hello, Same thing here i got my hands a Canadian Demo sm-915x and got told to flash it with stock firmware in order to get the phone working properly. But i cant seem to find any version of the firmware that actually works on it ...
it installed numerous times then when it reboots it shows upgrading packages , it reaches package 6 then reboots and loops over and over...
any guidance or firmware out there to recommend to try ?
Thanks

Can I install this ROM?

So I found this on the XDA home page. It says SM-935A is required (I have SM-935U) BUT I thought that model number mostly applies to which carrier you're using...So if I flash the lates AT&T version via Odin can I then update to this Oreo build? Here's the article:
