SAMMobile S4

Hi Guys,
I am a Nbie and have a few Q's on SAMMobile.
I understand the firmware is ORG. but, here is the first Q:
1. my S4 baseband version is I9500XXUGNF6 and on SAMMobile there is a update for India but the version is PDA I9500XXUHOAA , CSC I9500ODDHOA2, MODEM I9500DDUHOA1, can I install this version on my S4?
2. does my device have to be rooted?
3. do those automatic root programs(oneclick/vroot)work? if so, which are the best programs to use? free?
thanks guys.

[Q] Flashing stock rom

This maybe a very stupid question but ive looked everywhere for an answer but i cant find one. Is it possible to flash the stock lollipop rom over an unrooted o2 lollipop rom. Only reason im asking is i haven't much experience flashing Samsung phones and i want to make sure i don't brick the thing lol. any advice would be great. If it all possible could some one post me a link to which of the unbranded roms is best to use thanks.

Go to sammobile and find your firmware. Try to search by name e.g SM-N9005 and country. When you download from there you will see instructions or all over xda on how to use ? odin.
All you need is ? odin. No risks if you follow the instructions.

Thanks for the reply but it still doesn't answer my original question can I flash a unbranded lollipop over the O2 lollipop and I have yet to find a unbranded UK lollipop rom yet so which version do I down load?
Thanks

You should flash the good firmware for your CSC (device country code). You can find it installing this APP and going to Sammobile.com then for download the correct firmware.

mine says o2u and i cant find an unbranded firmware. ive included a screen shot.

You shouldn't flash unbranded firmware to one branded device. You should flash one of this ONES then.

is that the branded version of the o2 firmware? as i have that one installed already.

HI, don't know if you already solve your problem but if not, your solution is here. Just download the original firmware for your phone model and flash it with Odin. You will loose any data you have, your phone will be just like out of the box.

Download the correct firmware from Sammobile making sure its the correct one. For example, my phone is SM-G928f unlocked. So I use United Kingdon BTU. Other firmwares may freeze up your phone and you will need to re-flash again. Once you have picked your firmware, follow the instruction on screen given to you on the download page

Flashing (stock) ROM with a different carrier on Note 4 N910F

Hey guys,
So it's been a couple years since i've been on this forum, and i had a question.
Like most of you, i've been waiting to update to android marshmallow (and i want the official ROM), but the one for my carrier isn't out yet (T-Mobile Netherlands). But on Sammobile i saw some other stock roms for the N910F who already had the update. Is it possible to just flash one of them via Odin? They all have the same PDA & CSC, so it would look like it's not a problem.
Thanks in advance, Sam
PS: English isn't my native language, so i'm sorry if some things were unclear, just send me a message when some things need a explanation

Yep, as long as you have the same model (SM-910F) you can flash any one of them.
Edit: You may need a PIT file if it doesn't flash correctly, but i would only worry about that if you run into problems.

Hello, I think you talk about the Cyprus Version CYV
(The only one without carrier)
You can find the good pit here.
For this one it's need the VFG

I didn't have make this for now but many users reported it's working fine.

Thanks for your response! But i'm a bit confused now, is the only stock rom i can flash safely the Cyprus version? And why does it matter?
Looking forward to your response.

If anyone could make a quick step by step tutorial on how to flash with the pit file that would be nice thanks

Flashing to stock firmware.

hi, does anyone know or can provide me a guide on how to flash my note 4 to its stock firmware. im a newbie thats why im here asking for help.. hehe.. I have a samsung note 4 with a model number SM-N901F. I live in the UK and on three mobile network. I've been waiting for the marshmallow update and it hasn't been release by three mobile so im hoping flash my phone to its samsung stock firmware I might be able to update to marshmallow. is that possible? if anyone has an idea please help me. thanks.

Firstly marshmellow for UK N910F hasn't been released yet, well the BTU, unlocked version. Fortunately you can install the German DBT Rom or the Rom posted by Steve Pritchard, here on XDA forums. Use Odin to flash firmware, plenty of tutorials if you use the search function.
