Latest Firmware

Sorry for being such a noob but I have never ordered a device internationally before. Anyways I have just rooted my device (SM-P605) and I'm curious what the latest firmware is because I don't believe I get OTA upgrades here in the States. Right now I'm running Android 4.3 on baseband version P605XXUBMJ4 and Build Number JSS15J.P605ZSUBMJ6.
Is there a newer version I should be using? Trying to check via the official bounces me to Your device has been modified. Software updates are not available.
Also, are there plans for Kit Kat in the future? Or perhaps there already is a mod that includes the latest version of Android.

MJ9 is the Latest i guess

This is why you can't get OTA updates - because you are rooted.
This is where you can get the latest firmware

Yes, but no release date is set, or known by us. Samsung said "soon".

How do I manually upgrade to MJ9? Do I need to un-root and flash to stock before doing anything. I also notice that my basebuild and build are running different numbers. How did that happen, is it a problem, and how do you fix it?

I'd also like to know if there is a specific version of the upgrade that I need to download. Region specific. I don't want to brick it. Will any download of P605XXUBMJ9 run perfectly on this device? Do I also need a certain file to upgrade the baseband?

downloaded, rooted (de la vega) and installed. Works perfectly. now would be interesting to know the change-log

I flashed the Italian ML1 and the note is working fine.

You will not brick it, in the worst case you'd have to flash it again with another CSC. CSC is the region of your device. For a close shot, forget about the country and either flash US firmwares if your device is US, or EU firmwares if your device is anywhere from Europe.
No, it is included in the firmware file. There is absolutely no reason to look for a baseband file (or RIL).
Unless your driver somehow got screwed, which usually happens when you install wrong, or badly matched kernels. In that case you will hear very disturbed sound (this error is very clear, if you get this problem, you know 100% that it is there. It isn't like "did i hear a scratch in my speaker for a second?").

Get Odin, get the drivers, read the instruction. Just the usual odin procedure.
You don't need to unroot/re-stock, but if you are very paranoid, you can use a custom recovery to wipe /system before flashing (don't do it unless you know you need it. If you don't - you don't need to do it. I am only telling you this because you might want it in the future when you try many different modded ROMs).
Baseband and build v. can differ, this is not a problem nor something you should worry about.

have u guys tried older firmware like mj2 or mia? if mj9 is hackable then older versions also likely can be hacked from what i learnt. but the question is, whether a bootloader downgrade is allowed/possible

no one tried it yet? i have read a post that someone flashed a bootloader from another variant and he can flashed it back with the stock one successfully

Multiuser

do you know if there is any firmware for sm-p605 with multiple user support?

No there isnt. When KitKat comes we get Multiuser Support.

You can't downgrade the bootloader.
Flashing an older firmware that the bootloader doesn't support will end up with a tablet hanging on the samsung logo. Just need to reflash newer firmware to fix
Flashing a bootloader for another device - you might as well throw it off a highrise and hope it still works when it hits bottom...
P600 and P601 roms WILL NOT work with the P605. It's like trying to use helicopter parts to fix a car engine....

Official Lollipop 5.0.1 which one? are they all the same?

Hello,
I don't want to wait for Samsung OTA upgrade to Lollipop in my region.....My phone is unlocked and free to use any official rom. It's already available in a number of countries and would like to download one and install it with ODIN.
My question: Is there any difference between the official roms from one country to the other? how should I make my choice?
Thanks for your help

The ROMS currently available should all be carrier unbranded, meaning no carrier logos or carrier bloatware. Assuming this is for the I9505, you can download whichever is the latest, either the BTU firmware or the DBT version. Both will work, though you likely will end up with some easily removed apps provided by Samsung for a specific region. For example, after installing the Black Edition BTU firmware on my I9505, the device defaulted to AUT (Switzerland), and I received three apps related to that region. Since those apps are installed normally and not embedded into the system, it was a trivial matter to uninstall them.

Thanks again Strephon......mine is the 19500. ...I'll go ahead and install the Hong Kong version.

[Q] Want to upgrade to 5.0.1 officially.

Hello,
I bought Note 4 (Model: SM-N910F) in Germany, and now running android version
4.4.4, I want to upgrade to the official version 5.0.1 from website:
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-N910F/
Which version is recommended from the website?
Debating between both versions: Germany or Unknown, Which version is preferable?
And do need root to flash a new version?
I am interested in a clean system with no additives/applications (in English) with good battery time.
Thanks,
idan.

You don't need root to flash a new firmware.
I would recommend wiping the phone to factory status before you flash a new firmware.
N910F will use the BOC3 software.
This should work okay.
/N910FXXU1BOC3_N910FVFG1BOC2_VDC/

Yes of course, I will implement to make a factory reset before flash new firmware.
BOC3 = Unknown version.
I understand this rom from Dutch, It will be ok? or wait to OTA upgrade?
After upgrade system to 5.0.1, my device will receive OTA?

I upgraded a few days ago from N910FXXU1ANK4 ATO 4.4.4 to N910FXXU1BOC3 Unknown and I can say that it's working nicely. Had issues when updating as I was first trying to flash a BOC3 version from RO Vodafone, but had issues while flashing (Volume size too big, Odin invalid ext4 image). I was able to upgrade to N910FXXU1BOC3 Unknown without any issues.
In case you get into trouble while upgrading, you can do a emergency re-initialization from Kies3, based on your model number and serial number (on device, under the battery).
If you are flashing a different region ROM, make sure you do not have Reactivation lock as it will block your attempt to flash a new ROM.

@lolozaur thanks about information.
Version N910FXXU1BOC3 (5.0.1) will include touchwiz interface?
I prefer a clean system like nexus version, can you recommend a convenient interface (launcher)?

Don't have much information regarding the Note 4 ROM community as i just got the device one week ago.
But, if you want to keep your Knox counter set to 0 and have your warranty available, you have to flash only stock ROMs from good sources (i prefer sammobile).
I personally like the new Touchwiz on 5.0.1 and I think it will keep getting better when we'll get the S6 Touchwiz in future updates. I would not flash an AOSP ROM on the Note 4.
Not sure about this but if you want an AOSP OS (nexus version) you will be losing some of the functionality of the Note 4, such as the S-Pen and S-Note integration and maybe the S-Health and Heartrate sensor.

@lolozaur
Flash of new version 5.0.1 can lock again device for locked region?
The lock was released by call (5 minutes) with local microsim.
Thanks.

It should not lock. My device is also used outside the unlock region and I did not have any troubles after the upgrade.

I am flashing 5.0.1 and looks good! even touchwiz interface looks clean.
Thank you for your kind assistance.

Verify Original Samsung ROM

Dear all,
I own a Samsung Galaxy A3 (2016) with the following informations
CSC A310FB2X2APD2
Baseband A310FXXU2APC5
Current software A310FXXU2APDA
The phone was provided with a car type Seat Leon Connect which supports Android Auto. I live in Germany. As you might recognize, the CSC code B2X is a bit uncommon, but related to the "Seat edition" of the phone.
Now I have the problem that the phone is on a quite old software version (Android 5.1.1 with Security Updates of May 2016) and the phone does not find updates via OTA or Smart Switch. Several calls to the provider (Seat) and Samsung revealed that there is confusion how and when the last updates that were published for the A3 (2016) series will arrive for that specific model. As the phone provided has a Spanish country code, I was finally forwarded to Samsung Spain who told me I should simply search for updates. Which I obviously did.
As Samsung Germany told me that a spanish model would only do OTA updates when having a spanish IP, I even used a spanish proxy to look for updates, but without success.
I tried to change my CSC to the german DBT using the *#272# command, but it just tells me that the command did not succeed. There is an app called "Phone *INFO* Samsung" that tells me my CSC is E01 where E01, E02, E03, E04 and E04 are available in the firmware. This is confusing since this "E0x" is no known CSC country/provider code. So no way to simply switch the phone to DBT and german software updates.
I have the feeling, I will never be able to receive official updates...
So I have a couple of questions:
I'm coming from a Windows Mobile 10 phone where updates came nearly on a monthly base. Plus, the platform was never subject to hacking attacks due to only few devices. How critical is it to stay with the old software from a security point of view? Note, I only download software from the Play Store, but I am surfing the web a lot.
Is it true that a spanish IP is required for OTA updates or Smart Switch to find the update for the spanish phone?
As it is likely that I won't get offcial updates, I am willing to flash the german DBT firmware of December 2016 (say, from updato.com) using ODIN. Will I be able to receive OTA or Smart Switch updates in the future based on that, and therefore stay on a regular update path? I read that CSC and/or product code may be an issue.
Is there a way to ensure that the firmware I download from updato.com is really the official firmware? I am very sceptical about security and modified ROMs as I use the phone for business purposes. I informed myself a bit on the KNOX software installed on Samsung phones. Is it right that KNOX is able to check the originality of the firmware being flashed and therefore should increase the "Warranty void" counter in case the firmware is NOT original? Is there another way to check originality in advance before flashing?
Will I have to care for changing CSC and/or product code after flashing?
Most important: Say, I do the flashing to DBT firmware and for some reason, I need the original firmware back. Is there a way to return to the original Seat firmware? As it is available nowhere for download, I would have to use Smart Switch. Will I be able to connect the phone and simply put it to factory state (including the CSC code)?
Sorry for this long list and possibly dumb questions, but I am really unsure how to proceed.
Thanks for helping!
Tobias

Hallo,
I have exactly the same problem (despite Ich have an Ibiza ).
Is there a fix to this issue?

Hi tys0n,
yes, it is exactly the same version.

Here's the firmware. http://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?record=528B238FC03811E6B04AFA163EE8F90B
NOTE: U2 (marked in red) is the binary number. Bootloader should also be U2.
Since this seems to be a very specific firmware I just want to give a little varning.
Don't update to U3 if you ever plan to flash back to any U2 firmware (including this one).
Updated bootloader to U3 won't allow downgrade of itself to U2, and old modems won't work with updated bootloader.
There's a good chance that you'll end up with no signal or lost imei if you try to downgrade from U3 to U2.
Country/RegionEurope 02
Product CodeE02
OS VersionLollipop(Android 5.1.1)

Phone A310FXXU2APC5

Hello,
I'm also exactly on the same situation... does anyone found a solution to upgrade to latest Android version / way to proceed ?
Thanks
Update: I finally managed to flash my Rom with a U3 firmware (Android Marshmallow 6.0.1 FR), see phonandroid.com and the tuto for installing a310fxxu3bqc2-xef on a Galaxy-a3-sm-a310f

Hoping to upgrade a Canadian GT-N8010 to something newer than 4.1.2.

I'm new to the tablet upgrade process and I'm looking for guidance.
Details...
- GT-N8010 purchased in Canada
- I believe the Android version is 4.1.2 (Have to check)
- Can't update certain apps as a newer Android version is required
- I don't believe I need a version greater than 4.4.2, but I'm willing to upgrade even higher if the firmware is stable.
Can someone explain to me in layman's terms, what I need to do to improve the usability of this tablet with a newer version of the Android OS?
For example,...
What info besides GT-N8010 and 4.1.2 do I need from my tablet to ensure it is compatible with a newer Android version?
Can purchased Play Store apps compatible with the newer version be downloaded and installed in the same typical fashion?
Are there any potential country or localization issues where general usability and apps are concerned?
Did I miss anything?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks, Steve.

No response? The tablet worksgreat just the android version is too old. Damn capitalism

Does not help posting in the wrong section .
Look at the dates on the forum very few users on this old product .
sammobile updato or samsung-firmwares for stock firmware
Non Canadian up to 4.4.2
