Welcome to the RDF spotting thread for the Sprint Variant SGS5 (SM-G900P)
(Galaxy S5 sport is SM-G860P)
From @rwilco12 post
For those of you who don't know what an RDF is... RDF stands for "Resource Description Framework". In non-geek terms an RDF is essentially a specification sheet that details what the finished product will be. In this case the product itself is already out but any time there is a software revision it results in a build number change. Each build number has an associated RDF.
Latest RDF:
The "latest" RDF displays the software version our phones currently have OR it might display the upcoming version that is about to be pushed out OTA:
http://device.sprintpcs.com/Samsung/SM-G900P-SPRINT/latest (listed as OD3, Android 5.0)
to monitor the page automatically for changes, use this extension: Page Monitor or Android app Web Page Monitor
[The RDF link is best viewed in Internet Explorer]
Thanks for the link @garwynn!!
Newest testing build found:
The newest testing build is found by entering the last 3 characters of the software number into this URL followed by .rdf and is indicative of a version being tested by Sprint (rarely the testing builds make it to "latest" and change presumably when bugs are found/squashed and version # then increases)
OG1 http://device.sprintpcs.com/Samsung/SM-G900P-SPRINT/OG1.rdf (Lollipop 5.0) (found 7/31/15)
Samsung website FAQ latest version number page (sometimes has the build numbers up first for the an upcoming OTA) -> http://www.samsung.com/us/support/answer/ANS00032376/253271/SM-G900PZKASPR

CURRENT STABLE OFFICIALLY RELEASED FIRMWARE: OF6 (5.0)
Official announcement for OF6 from Sprint: https://community.sprint.com/baw/thread/185010
Sprint page for software versions -> http://goo.gl/4s4JcT
GOTA link: (coming)
How to install using the GOTA link: (just like receiving the OTA push, will not wipe any user data)
Download the file from above, move to the SD card of your phone
Power down the phone, boot into recovery mode (hold HOME+VOL UP+POWER until the blue type appears at the top of the screen, then release buttons)
Navigate using the volume keys, select using the power key -> move to install update from SD (hit power), navigate to the file you downloaded (hit power)
Wait patiently, reboot the phone if it didn't automatically
(best practice for major updates is to just factory wipe before and after this process so all the cobwebs are cleaned out, at least wipe out the cache for all apps)
How to grab the GOTA link to share: (from Droid-Life posting)
Install the Android SDK, enable USB debugging (does NOT require root), (great video from @qbking77 here) on your computer
When prompted to download an update, immediately plug your phone into that computer (with the SDK installed)
From that computer open a command prompt and type "adb devices" which will start the daemon, then type "adb logcat" and hit enter (information will start spewing from your phone to the command window)
THEN tap the download the update button on your phone, monitor the information from the logcat and find the URL (should start with "android.clients.google.com")
Might be easiest to copy the logcat into a text file and search for it (capture using command: adb logcat -d > logcat.txt) as the information might be too fast and furious on screen to read any of it
Once you have the URL, please post it in this thread so we can put it in the OP
Full OA6 Tarball link:
TARBALL FROM SAMMOBILE
TARBALL MIRROR 1 (FROM RWILCO)
Hey what's a TAR BALL? Is it cancerous? Maybe, but just do this with it instead:
Untar the tar ball and find the zip inside (firmware file) (may already be in zip form if grabbing from Rwilco site)
Best Practice is to wipe your phone in recovery; wipe data/cache/dalvik/system because you might run into problems after flashing (although you don't have to wipe if you are a very defiant person that likes to live dangerously with the potential for app crashes)
Put phone in download mode (press and hold Home + Power + Volume Down buttons, then press up when prompted), then connect phone to computer
Open Odin (on desktop) and place zip file in PDA/AP slot, make sure that re-partition is NOT ticked, hit start. [Reboot if it doesn't reboot automatically. Don't use mobile odin as it won't properly flash the modem and junk]
Now you will be on 100% stock with the 100% stock unrooted ROM and modem
Profit

TLDR: 2014 = N, Months = A - L (ex: May is E), Revisions = 1-9, A=10, B=11, C=12.....

Not yet but there is also NE3:
http://device.sprintpcs.com/Samsung/SM-G900P-SPRINT/NE3.rdf
One would think wifi calling is on the way, wasn't it already supposed to be here by now?
It's been in the supported applications since initial release but haven't heard if they turned it on yet.
That's assuming too that it requires a software update, could be like the SIM unlock where a signal is sent to the phone.

I really hope that there's a bluetooth fix in this release. It's a specific fix, but they've reportedly been working on it for a while.
Got the wifi calling toggle.... Hopefully it becomes useful soon!

Code that is posted there is exactly what it is, source code that needs to be compiled before it can run on a phone. It has all of the sprint information there in the code. So basically when it is posted there, then we know that an OTA will start to push out with code that can run on phones. If you are a talented developer then you can use the code posted on the source code site to make custom ROMs and such, otherwise it is worthless.

Looks like the S4 just had a new software (NG2) drop source for Sprint. Maybe we'll start to catch wind of some new RDFs for the S5? They must be working on one, however I can't find any RDF higher than our current latest NE5.

The JB update just started rolling out in India a few days back and this method helps you update your Galaxy S3 to the official JB release using Kies(Easiest and the safest way) Though people over at this thread ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=33921598#post33921598 ) do say the servers are sometimes down and I personally think this was take a LOT of time.
Also, This should work in India, GS3 owners in other countries(GLOBAL + US VERSIONS) can give this a try to check whether they have the update or not. No harm done either ways.
I'd like to thank jshashwat93 for this method as I saw his post on the aforementioned thread and that's how I got my update.
NOTE: This method is pretty safe until you don't remove the phone from your computer while it's updating in Download mode. So if you do somehow manage to screw up your Device, I AM NOT RESPONSIBLE
Here's how it goes:
1. Disconnect your phone from the computer, if you have it connected and start Kies.
2. Click on Help->Check for updates. This Updates Kies. It's required for Updating the Firmware of your phone.
3. After this is done, you might want to restart Kies, and from here on, we shall get to the Update process.
4. Go to Tools->Firmware Upgrade and Installation.
5. It should ask for your Model No. Enter: "GT-I9300".
6. Now it should ask for your Serial No. as Shown in the 2nd picture attached.
7. Now power off your phone and remove the back cover and then the battery.
8. The battery compartment has the IMEI number and the serial number near the Barcode. You require the Serial number.
9. The serial number is written as "S/N: XXXXXXXXX". That's an 11 character number. Write the "XXXXXXXXXXX" in the Serial Number field in the Kies pop up. (Do not write the 'S/N:/ Part)
10. Non Indian users, this is the step that makes it or breaks it for you, the next screen shows you whether or not there is an update for you and from here on, the software will download some files(Shouldn't take long)
11. After a few agreements, you should see the software now asking you to attach your phone in Download mode.
12, Make sure your phone has at least 80% battery because I am not sure whether the battery is charged in Download mode or not. And this step might take a while. The phone, from here, SHOT NOT BE DISCONNECTED or you will spoil your phone(Brick i even. Don't know the consequences)
13. By now you must havee seen that all settings and apps will be erased(In one of the agreements) so it's better to back up your data. ALTHOUGH, here's the interesting part, after my update, I saw all the apps and EVERYTHING was carried forward as it is so cheers to SAMSUNG for that.
14. ALright, Power off your device and press and hold the VOLUME DOWN+HOME BUTTON+POWER BUTTON to enter the download mode.
15. The phone should now display a warning(Check image). Press the volume up button to Continue.
16. You are now in download mode.
17. Connect your phone to your computer and start the installation(The onscreen instructions will guide you. I couldn't post screenshots because I have already updated my phone. Sorry)
18. Sit back and relax this may take a while I left it overnight and slept like a baby(LOL). Though make sure, YOU DO NOT DISCONNECT YOUR PHONE
19. You should have Jelly Bean after the update is done. No need to restart or anything as for me, it was already rebooted. And all my apps were carried here. Works absolutely perfectly. CHEERS Samsung
NOTE: This does not void the Warranty because it's been updated through Kies. So if something DOES go wrong, and you can't find a way to solve it on XDA, you can always get it repaired. Still, Don't blame me if the guy won't repair your phone.
Have fun with your new Update. Cheers
If I helped in anyway, Which I hope I did, HIT THE THANKS BUTTON INSTEAD OF JUST SAYING IT!!!!!!
Doesn't work mate.I tried it and I am from india. Nowhere is jb update available in india......also kies is the weirdest app ever...says no update...I tried everything you just mentioned...God knows if indian users will get it in this month or maybe next year(4.1.1)...as of 4.1.2 and multi window ,its like just give up,samsung is too busy to roll out updates...

Can't be. I live in Pune and I updated it just yesterday. Its working just fine for me. Try to see if your lies is updated or not. And probably it hasn't been rolled out for your location. Samsung, at least in the US releases OTA updates specific to locations. Might be the same case here. Oh and this only works on the stock ROM. What error are you getting?

I'm Indian too man. And I am on 4.1.1 just updated last night. I guess ota is rolled out to specific regions at a time so their servers don't crash so I don't expect people getting otas soon. Kies by default doesn't give an update either. This method is the only way to get it right now if you have it
got it...finally updated to 4.1.1
gauravdm said:
2. Click on Help->Check for updates. This Updates Kies. It's required for Updating the Firmware of your phone.
Its on step (2), it says "Latest Version installed". So, would this still work, if i try to update?
---------- Post added at 08:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 08:32 PM ----------
Also, when I'm putting in the model no. and the serial no., it gives the following error:
"The model information that you have entered cannot be verified; the device initialization cannot proceed"
Can someone help and let me know what the error all about?

Yes it will work.
You entered in Caps "GT-I9300" right?
See the screenshot. And check whether you entered the Correct Serial Number. All should be in caps and do not add the "S/N:" in the beginning.
So did anyone in Kolkata get the OTA update?
Also, this method probably woks but due to my slow internet connection, I don't know if I can stare at my phone that long being in download mode.

It works partially for Poland (T-mobile). It found an update, installed it, but the 4.1.1 for polish T-mobile version is surely broken. I haven't got bar at the top of the screen (the one with battery usage, time) and I couldn't set wallpaper (only black screen as background). I'm not an expert with this but I think it have something to do with odexed/deodexed ROM in the update.
I had the same issue when tried to manually install first leaked JB OTA. Good thing I could root phone and restore backup.
BE SURE TO MAKE A BACKUP BEFORE TRYING THIS METHOD!
These are links to factory images that I have pulled from different sources and have posted here for you guys to use to to restore your tablets to factory out of the box status they all work. Personally tested. If you have any problems its usually a bad download. So just redownload and you should be okay then. I regularly use these files when I experiment and they all work. I will update the thread when new firmwares are released. The latest was released June the 13th and seems to help with the battery drain issues. Im getting 7 hours screen on time now whereas before I was getting maybe 4.
Those files....ALL OF THEM ARE FOR THE N5110 ONLY. N5110 US VERSION ONLY. MEANING THE WIFI VERSION. SO PLEASE PLEASE DONT FLASH THESE TO ANY OTHER DEVICES. I TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR DESTROYED DEVICES. You have been warned.
You will lose custom recovery and root access when you flash these, remember its putting your tablet back to how it was when you bought it. The easiest way to regain root access is to use mskips toolkit. Its a great tool and works 100 percent of the time. Hes a highly skilled developer and I stand by everything he puts out so check out his thread in original development and download his toolkit. Another benefit of downloading his toolkit is that it contains the ODIN version you will need to flash these files. So check him out. You wont be disappointed.
Good luck and happy flashing!
Below is a small 6 megabyte file update.zip pushed to United States n5110 devices this morning.
Must be flashed completely stock. This brings your firmware to ueemf2.
REMEMBER THIS IS A PATCH OTA FILE I GRABBED FROM MY DEVICE WHEN IT WAS PUSHED OUT TO MY US N5110. Gotta be completely stock to flash.
Change log for ueemf2 is
"Stability improvements“
But there does seem to be faster ui. Tell me what you think. Link below.

Never use Dropbox public links for sharing to masses. They will block these after a certain amount of traffic. Instead use the sharing function, which will lead the user to the dropbox site from where you can download as easy as with public links.

Just open the browser, and go to Google Drive. Select the file that you want to upload and drop it in the browser. Once it finish to load the file you need to select the file, right click and share it.
Yea but it just hangs at waiting for upload

Newest firmware released and uploaded check OP FOR DOWNLOAD LINKS. hopefully this will help those of you out of a pickle. Remember restoring to factory stock may remove root access and erase data . It will also replace custom recovery with the standard android recovery. So no complaining about lost stuff...
But this will save you if you borked up your nice shiny tablet. Guaranteed.
Yourrrr welcome. Pm me for questions help and concerns. A question not asked is the only stupid question. Oh and " use the search function" replies that are frequently told to new users are not allowed here. Period. Respect all.

Hi! I have just 8 days with my galaxy Note and I have already install civato's rom and that kind of things. So my question is if I can install this firmware to revert all to stock, but my device says: N5110XXBMC9.
So that's what I'm asking!

Probably not. This firmware is for the UNITED STATES version of the galaxy note 8.0. I am not sure if you can or not. You may need to look for a firmware for your country.
Heres a helpful link.

Click firmwares fill out the click box forms and it will pull up whatever is available for your country or region. Then youll be able to download the stock firmware for your specific model.

I bought my N5110 in Canada and it came with XXBMC9 stock. I later flashed Civ's custom kernel and Rom which was the US version XXBMD1. Then yesterday I flashed the new UEEMF1 firmware from Beanstown's thread and it's all working great for me.
Looks like a new 5.0.1 firmware dropped to me and a coworker this morning.

Yeah. Triple checked it. I was looking for 5.1.1. , but it is clear that it is 5.0.1. I can't find an update list anywhere else on the web. Actually surprised I was the first to post here.
It seems that I am new so I can't post a link. Change the httx to http and go to the link below for my screenshot.

No it is still 5.0.1 I think this was just a security patch most likely for the Stagefright bug.
I just checked for an update and there IS one available.. though I haven't pushed the button on it yet.

It is the stage fright fix. I was hoping it would come with 5.1.1. Oh well..... Samsung / Verizon taking their time as usual.
It's a security fix for stagefright. It did change the build number and kernel.

have there been any improvements? anything noticeable even though it's just the stagefright fix?
and when do you think that the 5.1.1 update is going to come out? The sprint variant users have said it made them love their phone again...
I believe I read on the official update PDF, that there are TWO parts to the update.
In order to use Video Calling and HD Voice for Advanced Calling on the Note 4, an
additional 46-60 minutes is required for activation that includes OTA software update:
- Part 1: Download – 4 minutes, Upgrade – 8 minutes (12 minutes total)
- Part 2: Download – 18 minutes, Upgrade – 16 minutes (34 minutes total)
You will need up to 1.7GB of reserved memory to upgrade.
You will be prompted to clear space via storage settings if there is insufficient memory available.
Due to changes in the Lollipop OS, a Low Memory pop up will show until you have freed up enough memory space.

Yeah. Triple checked it. I was looking for 5.1.1. , but it is clear that it is 5.0.1. I can't find an update list anywhere else on the web. Actually surprised I was the first to post here.
It seems that I am new so I can't post a link. Change the httx to http and go to the link below for my screenshot.

Could you install and run this app, to test and see if Stagefright is REALLY patched?
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.zimperium.stagefrightdetector
On BOF1, I pass, I believe, 2 of them and the rest fail. If you pass all the tests, then this update indeed patched the Stagefright bug.

That looks to be related to the initial Lollipop update for the Note 4 (which WAS a two part update), and not this latest update (which I think only addresses the Stagefright issue).

That could very well be the case. I was half awake when I looked, so I didnt check timestamps.
How long, on average, does it take an official OTA to make it to Kies? Ive been checking for 2 days, and it hasnt been available through Kies (Windows).

It comes up as patched after the security update.

I can confirm that Stage fright is patched.
Awesome! Im not typically worried about this kind of stuff. I have a flawless track record when it comes to security. But Id rather be safe than sorry. Wonder how long it will take hsbadr to make a Safe Upgrade out of BOG5
Hello, I have been talking with this guy from atnt s7 forum. This is what he said...
- Omar04
-Can't remember where they are but I remember I did this> dial *#8736364# a Screen will come up Software update there I tap on check for update then tap on Results if any you will see a long URL with many numbers on it use that URL to get the bin file containing the OTA link and use the ota link on a download manager for it to download if you don't have that version yet. But for the newest ota you need to decipher by yourself Q=2017 A=January and numbers after month =day of build if you lucky and find the correct build it will show up to download that's how we AT&T users find the Nougat ahead of time.
- If a long link didn't show then you need someone else with older build to do same for link to show on results then every one will be able to use that link and search for OTA hidden in servers.
If anyone is still on the old firmware , there is hope that through using this way, we can get an early final nougat!!!
Unable to process the request.
You have to have an older version of android MM.
That just brings it to the check for update menus with 2 more options. Tmobile is still adding their bloat and testing it before release according to their update status for s7

That could be it. I got the server URL for the guy that did the S7 one by just going into /data/data/com.ws.dm (the data folder for our system update app, you'll have to find the package name of yours) and looking through all the files. From there it seems he looked at the desc.bin that it downloads to get the URL of the actual update package, but I don't know what he did after that to find the other files.
I believe this is an alternative possibility of getting the same result. Also it IS possible. Atnt got their software early by using this exact same method.
I understand how to do it, but barely. I don't understand what image file I need to download from this list:

Pick the one that says all other carriers (NMJ51B) unless you have Sprint or Telus.

also if you go to the beta page on the site there is a new option (since i was there last at least) that says "i have installed the beta and want to go back). This may take some of the guess work on reverting to stock.

Thanks for the info, I didn't see that message. I did manage to get this done, however I chose the " other carriers " build . Seems okay, what would be the issue?
I believe I downloaded Build NMJ32F and then got a prompt for an update.
What is the different between the "downloads" and the "builds"?
Sent from my PH-1 using Tapatalk
On the Essential site? The downloads section appears to be "support" files it has the drivers you can install on your computer so you can run adb/fastboot from a PC it has update files for the roms(kernel+wifi) that were likely pushed through OTA's etc. The builds section contains all of the previously released and current roms. The Beta section contains all of the pre-release roms.

Nope, from the Essential Developer Overview site once you check you want to opt out:
Opt-out of Android 8.1 Oreo Beta
If you're already installed the Beta on your Essential Phone, but you'd like to stop receiving future updates, fill out your email below.
NOTE: In order to go back to Nougat, you'll need to flash your device. You can find flashing instructions on our Developer Site. Going back to a previous build will cause you to lose your data. So please make sure to back up all your information before resetting your phone.
