​Hmmm may be Samsung haven't released any on the air update for your country. You can update it manually via odin. Or you can try it through Samsung kies.
Guide for Odin:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s3/help/guide-odin-flash-guide-t1671969
That guide is not just for old s3 ok its for all Samsung devices. But in this guide th odin version is 3.04 you have to download new version 3.09 ok download it from anywhere.
And
Go to sammobile.com
Here you can get all firmware updates for your mobile. You have to make an account first then you can download.
Remember,
Go to your mobile settings> General> About Device
There you will see all INFO about your mobile.
Note down your mobile baseband version. You have to download firmware according to your baseband version.
And any build version can be used.
Just look for your country region ok and upload date.
Download the latest update.
And follow that odin guide.

Try it with samsung kies. Or go to mrcrab.net
Here you can find a kitkat update version of your country or your neighbour country. Yes you can install versions for your neighbour countries.
But i am recommending you to not attempt it because there is no big difference between 4.4.2 and 4.4.4. So if you got any problem then it will be hard for you to downgrade or solving it.
So stay what you have got.
It seems like samsung hasn't announced any update for your region.

eventhough i still cant find kitkat for my baseband...
by the way i've jelly bean 4.3 not 4.4.2
it seems there's no way to get the kitkat..
Thank you brother

Yeah i think so.
But hey man you can try 4.4.2. Its better than jelly bean. Look man sometimes they are not clear on the website. Sometimes one ROM is for multiple basebands. If you wana give a try then download a rom of your or your neighbour country and unzip it and see what's inside. Tell me about your baseband and build version please.

Connect your mobile to samsung kies and it will show your current firmware version and its details. At the end of line there will be a code for country region like AFR TMC etc note that one down. You will need a ROM with exact country region.

There is a kitkat update for Libya and other countries of your neighbourhood. You can try this.

Update to 5.0

Hey guys!
i recently got Galaxy S5 ( screenshot Attached) i got it used, and at the time of buying i didn't know it was rooted. It has Android 4.2.2 when i try to update via System update. It says Operating system on your device has been modified in unauthorisd way....... so i cant seem to update my phone. Is there any way to get the new update Lolipop i try to search by i cant seem to find something related to my baseband G900fzhu1ancd .
so if anybody can guide me in the right direction will highly appreciated. I'm very new to This flashing and Rom stuff, but what i figured is we need to find same Rom that can support our baseband version?? we cannot flash any Rom? Right???

Go to sammobile . com and enter your S5 Model (G900F) into the firmware section, select your region from the drop down, and download that ROM
Instructions for flashing that to your S5 are under the download on that site

Anybody !!!!!
just one thing if anyone have time. if i want to upgrade from 4.4.2 to 5.0 and i have galaxy s5 SM-g900F. do i just have to go sam mobile and search for firmware for my model and can pick any 5.0 version or i have to see for any other thing like baseband version or kernal etc...

What is your S5 Model? You can used even the firmware of other country as long as you have the same model no problem with that. Based on my experienced I am from Philippines and I am using UK which is my original baseband is XTC.

sorry my bad. As far as I know and based on my experience yes as long as same model. I do not know and not so sure about your device but on my device it is possible. Originally a XTC and currently using UK

maybe anybody can comment further thanks for your replies..

Just pick the closest region to you for the G900F if that is your model, if you can't find your own
BTU = United Kingdom

yes my model number is G900F.

Marshmallow Battery Drain, Overheating - Tips for the Galaxy J7

After updating to MM, I have a serious battery drain while surfing the net.
I looked on the net for some pointers and found this interesting article on Orduh
Fix: Samsung Galaxy J7 Battery Drain/Overheating
Comments welcome.

Thanks for your effort but it doesn't help at all.
I think the problem is with MM itself. From the first day of upgrade battery life is taken a hit and also has little heating issue.
Doesn't matter whichever MM rom or kernel I flash same result.
Now decided to go back to lollipop, any rom suggestion will be highly appreciated.

I can run some MM roms ok now. Not all of them. E.g the S5 Neo v1, MM stock graced and A5 (2016) MM port - these work ok for me.
Others give me overheating.
Some more tricks here .....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=68274575
Good luck!
Sent from my SM-J700F using XDA-Developers mobile app

Will report after trying.

I tried with the method you described but same result, battery drain on surfing and heating.
To check this is not a hardware issue I downgraded to lollipop and no battery drain problem at all. I've talked to my friends, some of them have same issue on MM and reverted back to LP, I've got no option to do the same for now.
Just one question do you feel any performance or battery difference between Optimax 4.0 and stock kernel?
Thanks for your help.

Sorry for your MM woes.
For performance Optimax 4.0 is tops, but you pay a small price. In my experience it uses slightly more but noticeable battery, say 10 - 15%. I end up having to recharge like 45 mins earlier than stock.
The whole experience is "zippier" without overheating.
Some questions for you - what J7 variant do you have? Which region MM are you trying to install? Is it the same as your "native" region CSC? Maybe you could try a different region MM update?
On my J7 my native CSC was AFR, but have a long list of compatible CSC's (see pic attached). Not all had MM available.
I first chose XFE South Africa and the surfing drain was horrendous.
Then I switched to XSG United Arab Emirates and I was good.
If you have problems downgrading I can show you what worked for me

Thanks mate for sharing.
I`ve J700F and CSC is INS, BPH4 (Baseband is BPH2) with August security patch. I`ve some sort of overheating and battery drain issue (while surfing and receiving calls). This is a rooted Stock with stock kernel.
Is it safe to flash another CSC and if so, then which one I should try ? Or I should try to downgrade to LP ?
BTW, I flashed stock MM with full wipe method (as you mentioned in your post).
Thank you once again for this info.

Install the app I used and check if you have multiple CSC compatibility. Info on the CSC tab.
Samsung Phone Info on playstore
Or you could install a slightly older MM e.g. J700FXXU2BPG3 and see if it behaves better with your fon.

Thanks mate.
Yap, it has multiple CSC (INS, BNG,NPL, SLK).
But sotck MM is available only for SLK (BPG3).
BTW, Can I downgrade from stock MM to stock LP safely ?

Uncle Sammy may take a VERY long time to push out MM for all CSC regions.
Try SLK - you lose nothing.
Otherwise - YES you can downgrade to LP. I did it for a short while.
I followed these steps
* Wipe in TWRP
* Install a custom LP rom in TWRP
* Then flash stock LP rom using Odin
Flashing LP a stock LP rom first will give you a blank screen at reboot.

Thanks mate for the valuable information.
I`ve flashed the J700FXXU2BPG3 build. Let`s see how it behaves. I`ll give you feedback. If the result remains same , then try to downgrade.
BTW, which rom are you using right now ? what is your feedback ?

My 2 favourites S5 Neo Port & MM Stock Debloated Graced.
I swap between them every 3 or 4 days.
I'm a flashaholic, sic

Well - said mate. :good:
I too love to flash different roms, but prefer stock - flavored rom.
BTW, I`ve read in one of your post (in S5 Neo Port thread) that v.1 is much better than v.2. v.2 has some sort of heating issue. Hope you prefer to use v.1 - right ?
And what about the another one ?

Hey, don't get me wrong. The problem is with my fon. Not the roms.
Yes, S5 Neo v1 behaves well on my fon. Like >>95% stock like.
V2 causes heating.
Our Devs have helped feed our flashing addictions ?
Am not complaining, lol!!

@dodo2244 Thanks a lot for your suggestions. I've flashed Indonesian version Rom on J7-00F and it worked, everything back to normal. But after using Rom's like A5 2016 or graced who would wan't to go back to stock. So, by reading your comments flashed s5 neo v1.. and it worked similar like stock no heating issue and battery drain like Neo v2.. (Not complaining). It just has volume bug , Is there a way to fix it?
Also please give some feedback about Note V2 Rom.
Looks like I'm also becoming flashing addict now.
Thanks again.

Yay?!!
Say MM ?.
Bravo for persisting.
Volume bug - his fix was to give us v2. Sigh! We can't make demands.
Note v2 .... hmmmm.
I did not test it for very long, but its very beautiful. Aren't these Note 7 apps heavy? Will test again over the weekend.
Enjoy MM on your fon.

This build is better than the latest build. Heating issue reduces (though a little bit heating issue is there). I`ll try the S5 Neo Port v.1, and give you the feedback.

Official ROM for N920CZDAXSG

I have upgrade my ROM to Marshmallow 6.01 which is causing some problem.. Since I didn't took official ROM backup, I couldn't roll back to original official.... Can someone help me on this and upload official room, so that I can get the official ROM back and go for OTA update.
Note 5 Single SIM
Model - N920C
Region - Middle East
Regards
mniko

Hello, let me understand, by original rom you mean 5.1.1? And I would be curious what problems do you have with 6.0.1? Did you try a full wipe after installing 6.0.1? Cheers

I faced the same problem, and found the original stock rom in below link.

Yes I need the firmware which comes with the phone I think it was 5.1.1 (N920CZDAXSG)... After upgrading 6.0.1 the problem is battery drains soon (Just in 25mins 100 to 0) even after factory reset, went to service centre got busted using custom ROM.. They will not reverse it to official version since its violation of terms and condition... That is why I want to go for any original official version so that I can go with OTA update from samsung itself.

Hi
I don't know what is your phone build number exactly but I suggest lineage 16 or 17.1 and you can find them from here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/grand-prime/development
but first of all , since you have Android 4.4.4 on your phone you should update it to 5.0.2 (The latest official stock rom for Grand Prime) .
