[Q] Which stock firmware?

Hi,
The stock firmware for my GT-I9505 (S4) is currently 4.3. In lots of European country's (and outside the EU) are getting 4.4.2 already.
I guess The Netherlands is one of the last on the list because it still isn't available (not even listed on SamMobile).
Which country (Germany, Brazil and go on) does already have 4.4.2 which are the same as the NL 4.4.2 version? (SamsungMobile confirmed on Twitter that there might be differences between all the versions). So how do I know which one is the same as NL version?
If u want to flash firmware of different region u may flash any.......this will not make any difference that u want an country which is near to your region ....only default language can annoy you otherwise all are same

yes al happen with odin . and you need only the firmware from sammobile.com/firmwares/ . the one you need for you country.
no need for any csc, because its al inside the firmware.

Do we keep files and apps if we downgrade or will I get factory reset? I hate lollipop and want back

I mean, the warranty is on the phone itself, not the operating system on the phone. it doesnt make sense to me that a warranty would expire because the phone upgraded itself.

Have you tried using a USB jig and flashing your firmware with ODIN? look here: http://www.xda-developers.com/need-a-samsung-usb-jig-build-your-own/ USB jigs can be found for only a dollar, google it and find the prices if you don't want to make your own.

Is there any reason you need NK2 in particular? My thread has NE2 and OC1 listed, I know at least OC1 is a newer build, so if anything, you'd be updating/upgrading your firmware. It's the same model number and region, so there wouldn't be any reason for it to malfunction...

I checked with kies the other day and i saw OC1 was the new firmware, i'll check that one out. Thanks. :good:
I thought about JTAG'ing the device, but I dont have a soldering gun.....I called samsung, and they are going to repair it because of still being under warranty.

I think you receive OTA for that country,not for your own.

32.1.A.1.185 New Update Now Avaliable How To Install

The title on this thread is just a bit misleading... This in no way explains how to install, what kind of Z5 P device it is or anything... Hardly worth a whole new thread, either, when this is being discussed in the 'Marshmallow available now' thread...

Yes. But I need the one with Root so I think I better stay and wait on the older firmware. also, I need the exact firmware for my phone for better coverage.

I think I have latest firmware from :
1298-2969 Customized MAA 32.1.A.1.185-R7C

Same customization of mine but I'll wait for the one rootable.
Hi OP. Were you be able to update it?pls consider to check if the kernel is the same as stock version of firmware 163? if it is still the same, I think we can still use the current custom kernels
Kernel is the same.
Sent from my E6853 using Tapatalk
Does a diffrent firmware void your warranty? And if i do can i also turn back to my own cda when tmobile nl 6.0 has been released?
For E6853
The custom kernels work, but it's registered at the older firmware version, making the system update pop up even though you have it installed. I customized the stock kernel for the latest update with the help from @tobias.waldvogel tool from:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z5/development/root-automatic-repack-stock-kernel-dm-t3301605

It has DRM restore injected, latest TWRP 3.0.1 and support for root. The rest is stock.
I would recommend flashing the latest firmware with Flashtool without wiping any data and flash the kernel afterwards in fastboot
Fastboot flash boot kernel.img

Make sure to navigate to the correct directory you have it downloaded so it can detect the IMG.
No need for installing recovery as it already has this. From recovery just flash the latest SuperSU and you have root.
