I just recently found out about the G7 update for Grand 2 KitKat and people claim that fixes a lot of Lag issues so i've been trying to update my phone. I was on Turbo V2 rom then i flashed back to the Official 4.4.2 G4 INU Frimware from sammobile. but whenever i try updating it just says "The latest updates have already been installed" I tried flashing the INS frimware too but it says the same "The latest updates have already been installed" am i doing something incorrectly? if so, any kind of help would be appreciated. Thanks

Nope, i havent tried updating it via kies yet. I just wanted to make sure if i actually CAN update it to G7 via Kies first. and Turbo is pretty good. Bloatwares removed, Partial S5 Like UI and not Over-Modded either. Its actually pretty good if you ask me :victory:

hey guys, i bought my sgs a month back in singapore and the screen jus gets ppl drooling over it. My current firmware version is i9000dxjf4, and Kies mentions this as the latest firmware but samsung-firmware.webs.com shows that there are three other updates after i9000dxjf4 for the asian region. Is it safe for me to download and update the latest firmware from that website inspite of kies confirming that i'm having the latest firmware. Could u also check out that site its quite cool.
Thanks for your replies....
Kies won't show updated firmware as the Samsung Firmware releases are not official. You can by all means download and install, but they are unsupported and there are risks if you don't do it correctly! Most of us here have flashed new firmwares just fine though.
i was also wondering , i'm in asia so should i install asia specific firmware update or can i download european firmware update. I see that europeans get firmware updates frequently than the asians??

there is a FAQ guide on these boards for roms/firmware etc
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=723596
thanks man my problem got solved.....it was informative....
So, did you download the latest firmware from the Samsung site or went ahead to use one of the custom firmware? Would like to hear if some of the problems that we had been experiencing went away after your upgrade (e.g., GPS, lags, 3G/Wifi switch, etc).
I assume upgrading to the firmware from Samsung does not require rooting. Please correct me if I'm wrong. I'll try to stay unrooted for warranty reason.
Cheers.

Care to elaborate?
BTW, OP, I tried searching for the firmware on Samsung website but don't seems to be able to find it. Can you provide link for the mentioned firmware?
I'm Rooted, So I can't update via System Update on my phone...
I tried Samsung kies 3 and even it's up to date software It's still saying that my firmware is the latest...
but I don't think It's latest because many of us had recent update on 4.4.4 and sammobile upload some updates for 4.4.4 recently.
I don't know how to update it manually using Odin and I don't know where I could find my specific file to update my phone...
here's my screenshot of my "About Device", I think this could help to track my firmware on sammobile though I don't know how to read it and search for the file...
Please help... I want an update at least for 4.4.4 and It might be a little help for my phone to run smoothly than before...
Thanks in advance...

I think wait for some days to receive OTA Nougat bcz i don't think anyone got officially OTA Nougat...
I can confirm this. I had flashed MPJ24.139-63 earlier and received Nougat OTA Update. But since mine was rooted and had TWRP recovery, it failed. So I took the downloaded file and flashed MPJ24.139-63 again hoping I'd get the update. But now it tells my device is up to date.

This is nothing in plain sight for people in the United States as we get the chaft everytime. Good device but thought they followed Googles lead in their device updates. Here is what is received from Lenovo
My name is Mohammed from Motorola E-mail Support and it will be my pleasure to assist you with any concern that you might have. I hope that your day is going great so far.
Please accept my apologies for any inconvenience that we may have caused you.
In this case let me tell you that you can check for updates by going to Settings > About Phone> system updates. If the device says it's up to date, and you have not received the notification update, you should wait until the notification to arrive since it is sent via OTA, by the way let me tell you that we do not send system updates in this case you can also contact your carrier about this issue since they are in charge to send it.
I would also suggest you to please keep checking our software update page periodically:

I can't say for all carriers but I know that most have the final say on when the updates are pushed out. Since they field calls for problems their support people have to be up to speed on each release. Almost across the board you'll see the following when you put in your carrier "This device will be upgraded to the Android 7 (Nougat) release, pending partner support."
It sucks.

The only way to remain risk free let the update notification arrive and then update from there. Anything else has an element of riskiness involved.
But soak test otas can be flashed if you can bear the risk

Ok thanks!
Is there such a problem with waiting? I mean really? If you are so desperate for an upgrade install a custom ROM. It's not officially released yet and only reports of soak tests are not through Motorola. Please be patient. It's better to have it right than not.

My thoughts exactly. I can see the point if someone wants to install a custom rom, lord knows I've done it enough, but installing a soak test that could kill your real OTA or contain bad code, borders on ridiculous. If you don't have a chance of receving Nougat then I'd go for it, but AFAIK, all the G4's are going to get it. I actually had an official soak test on a previous phone and it killed my final ota.

Try updating trough the Smart Switch software from Samsung... It will automatically flash the latest version of stock. If it is stull on the same version it means that the update hasn't came for your region

Just try with SS no matter if it shows updates or not. If it doesn't, try Odin.

Hello,
Recently I've updated my Galaxy S8 g950fd from Android 8.0 to 9.0, however i found it terrible and I would love to go back to 8.0. I've read many topics and all of them states that I have to downgrade it through the Odin. I've downloaded a few softs from websites:
SM-G950F_1_20181227130827_c3nriwjmas_fac
G950FXXS4CRLB
G950FXXS4CRLB_G950FOXM4CRL1_LYS
G950FXXU3CRGH_CL14023573_QB19093103
G950FXXS4CRLB_G950FOXM4CRL1_LYS
G950FXXU1AQG5_G950FOXM1AQG5_ZTO_4file
And non of them works. Odin keep showing FAIL message, phone stuck on bootloop and the only software I can use is 9.0 ( G950FXXS5DSF1_OXM5DSF1_(SM-G950FD))
At this moment I'm downloading 2 firmwares from sammobile.com website: XSG-G950FXXU4CRL3-20181218135110 and XSG-G950FXXS4CRLB-20190128142840 and I hope they will resolve the issue I'm facing.
What am I doing wrong? Is there any other way to downgrade my phone?
Thanks a lot for replies!
Your bootloader version is v5 and all other firmware including previous pie and all Oreo firmware are at v4 . If u installed June or July update on your phone then u can't go back anymore and thus Odin keep faling for your

I've found Lineage 15.1 OS with bootloader v5 on android 8.0 however I am struggling now with installing TWRP. Keep getting FAIL in ODIN and note in phone: Only official relased binaries are allowed to be flashed (RECOVERY). I've tried to reset cache, perform factory data, OEM is enabled and usb debugging as well. I don't know what's going on to be honest and after reviewing thousands of posts - I can't fix that issue.. My current software on my g950fd is G950FXXU5DSFB Android 9.0.
Is here anyone who can advice me what should I do? I would really appreciate that. Thanks!
Anyone?
Sorry can't help you with that much, it seems u did all correct steps for rooting the phone. dunno why u get only official binary message.
