Hi,
I just saw there was a new update for my phone and the network (SUN) I was locked in.
This is the new FW on sammobile site
Country: Philippines (Sun)
Version: Android 4.2.2
Changelist: 1341826
Build date: Fri, 23 Aug 2013 11:52:51 +0000
Product Code: XTC
PDA: I9082XXUBMHB
CSC: I9082OLBBMH7
MODEM: I9082DXUBMH1
My worry is:
1. Is it safe that I can update it via KIES, if the KIES allows me, or any possible method.
2. Will it not brick my phone?
3. Do you have any guide on how to update it, not via OTA.
Right now I'm still on the stock FW (Build number: JZO54K.I9082XXAMAC) and I've downloaded already the new updates on my PC.
Thanks in adavance....

Plz check it

According to sammobile Kies is the safest way to update. If you want to update manually follow instructions HERE. GOOD LUCK!

You will only get OTA or Kies update if your stock Firmware and CSC have updates available and your phone not rooted. Custom roms don't get OTA updates. Also even if your firmware are stock but the CSC don't match you will not get updates.

Hi, sorry, I can't understand about the CSC... if my existing CSC matches the the new CSC I will get the updates?
Example if the FW 4.2.2 has a CSC of I9082OLBBMH7, my current CSC should be the same or I9082OLBBMH7 too in order I could get the updates?
How do I know my current CSC?
Thanks in advance...

CSC is your region code. Connect grand to pc and open samsung kies. Kies should display your csc like "firmware number(CSC)" under basic information. In case you are from India so either you have INS or INU for your CSC.

Bad Camera Quality now - Downgrade Camera Firmware ? @ 4.3 MJ5 (i9505)

Hello,
thats my first post
Im je11 from Germany, I registered here, cause its the best forum on the internet for android modding, development, etc.
My Andro-Devices I already had were an Galaxy S2 i9100 (where i already changed the camera firmware to optimze quality of pictures), XPERIA Z and now I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 LTE i9505 ! - Very good smartphone imo.
Problem:
A few days ago I updatet my i9505 SGS IV from 4.2.2 to Stock 4.3 (MJ5) DBT Unbrandet.
Now I got a bad quality of my photos (on 4.2.2 it was much better!)
Where I can download diffrent camera firmwares for my device ? I only need the cameraFW from the 4.2.2.
Its possible ? I already searched on the whole internet - but nothing found :-/
Thank you very much
and sorry for my bad english

Same problem, I would love to know the answer to this

+1

I found the solution ! Open the cameraFW Menu with the combination of numbers and after that i tapped on update - after 5 minutes of updating the quality of pictures get very good ! Tell me if it works

That's the latest, if you see your current firmware it matches it. As far as I know the last time camera firmware was updated was when 4.3 was first released. When I updated to 4.3 from 4.2.2 and opened the camera for the first time it updated the camera. Maybe later firmwares will bring nearer updates.

Android 4.2.2 baseband firmware version
Hello! Please tell me what baseband firmware version that you had before you updated it, I'm asking you because the camera is very useful for me at work, for me this phone is not a toy and unfortunately I was in the same situation with you, my phone was purchased from the store and it's new and it came with Android 4.3 baseband I9505XXUEMKF - the camera was bad like yours, I've updated the baseband firmware to Android 4.4.2 I9505XXUFNB8, the phone was never rooted and I was not installed no custom ROM, I've purchased it on 20 June 2014, I have warranty at it and now after some small researches I've decided to downgrade to 4.2.2 and for that I will send the phone in an Samsung authorized service center but I don't know what baseband firmware version, I want to get best of this mobile because I've made big sacrifices to purchase it because I am needing it. Thank you very much in advance!
Have a nice day!
Best regards!

[Q] Phone has Three UK firmware on it. How can I change to Unbranded?

My phone currently has Three UK branded firmware on it.
Is there any way I can change it to unbranded firmware and keep Knox at 0x0?

Yes, if you download the latest BTU firmware from Sammobile you should be able to flash it straight over with Odin as the BTU version is a later version that the Three UK one. However you may have to root it to change the CSC. Incorrect CSC = No OTA or Kies Updates.

I'm pretty sure Knox warranty doesn't matter in the UK, apparently Samsung have to legally commit to the warranty anyway

Do you have a link for the BTU firmware pal?

What search term do I use on Sammobile to download the correct file?
For example if I were to search 'N9005OLBDM2', I would get Singapore (Star Hub).
What do I need to search to get the file you are refering to?
Im going to guess I need the file:
United Kingdom, 2013 October, N9005XXUDMJ6, N9005OXADMJ4
As I am currently on MJ4

Samsung don't deal with customers in the UK, we go through our retailers. However they have to fix it by law.

Even if they do that, soon as you throw the legal side down at them they sh1t it.
Phone4u are notorious for trying to get out of things. But the truth of the mater is they actually don't have a clue.
Chances are the sales idiot read about download mode and thought "hey ima look all gangsta checking this out" lol

Ok, so Im downloading the .zip from sammobile now. Whats the procedure once its downloaded?
Pop it into Odin and flash?
what parts do i need to flash from odin? As in bootloader, pda etc...

And if somone can confirm that this keeps Knox at 0x0, that'd be great.

[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 ??

they said try on smart switch and kies i tried both but there is no update

Is your phone carrier branded ?
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.

It will be very interesting for you if you can add screenshots of that app here (imei not necessary). I will check it and help you better.
