[Q] GT-i9505 - Flash carrier firmware...

Hi guys,
I have a GT-i9505 and I really want to flash to a more updated stock rom from my carrier, my current build is JDQ39.I9505XXUAMDM, I am on a T-Mobile contract (phone always says EE though) and want to flash from the BTU unbranded rom to T-Mobile UK... I cannot find a ROM for T-Mobile UK though........
Can someone please help me and what I can do?
I've looked on samsung-updates and sammobile... Thanks.

Stay with the BTU ones, the ones from Carrier get updated very very slowly. Even my Carrier didn't receive 3 á 4 updates for i9505.

Ok, but my point being that the carrier ones have received 2/3 updates in the time since my last one, my last one being April...

the latest firmware for T-mobile (EE) is ME2 http://www.hotfile.com/dl/223630332/b11f79b/I9505XXUAME2_I9505EVRAMDB_EVR.zip.html but for the unbranded BTU is MDM (older)
you can flash any new unbranded firmware MEA or MF8

Would I be able to flash that t mobile firmware? Thanks.

Of course it works, unless your planning to root.

hmmm, i'm in exactly the same situation. how does flashing work on this phone? do i need to unlock bootloader or anything like that? i don't want to mess about the unlocking things or rooting, i want totally stock though :\

EDIT: to take a look of latest official firmwares HERE

Thanks samersh72, flashed the ME2 stock, all working here.

Ive rooted my SGS5 GT-I9505, un-installed some preinstalled app but now when I try to do an OTA it gives me the error: Your Device is modified, no software update available, Someone answered my question abut it and it seems that I need to install Unroot my phone. Base on the artice: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2265477 it says that I need to Flash Carrier Network, My question is do you have stock firmaware for my carrier. Im using Globe (Philippines). How do I do that? Thanks.

I'm in the same boat mate. Got my Note 3 a few weeks ago and was surprised to find a different mdoel N9007. Don't care about the knox status and really want to get rid of all the carrier bloatware. I can see the HK version of stock Samsung rom but not sure if it is suitable for our devices.

if it's the same model then it should work. You should check against your PDA version when you type *#1234#, if it is N9007ZH download the HK version, if it is N9007DI download the Australian version.

well, that is my problem. the only available firmware for my model is the carrier's firmware. there are no stock firmwares for Australia for my model.

Firmware is available on Sammobile but yes they are all carrier bloated.

For those of you still wondering, as long as you are on the 4.4.2 bootloader/modem, you can flash any aosp Rom and have no issues with mobile data or lte. The model number on your phone will change in the "about phone" section, bu if you can live with that, then no issues at all. I've just tried the Lollipop alpha build, and that worked fine, along with a bunch of other 4.4.4 AOSP roms and all ran smoothly.

I got a G900H galaxy s5

I have a G900H galaxy S5 variant with the THR code in Kies, seems is iran software, is stock unrooted. What firmware can i put on it? i heard i can use EGYPT stock firmware also, seems i don't find the stock IRAN firmware on sammobile.com and can't find it here also. Can anyone tell me if i flash with odin another country's Firmware for the G900H, is ok right??

Did you successfully flash another country's firmware? As I'm not using Kies, I'm not even sure which country it comes from! I'm a little worried about baseband being different in different countries.
Came across this, which suggests it might not work in the first place: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=53721117&postcount=5

I flashed with odin a firmware for g900h from south africa that looked to me it had kinda same csc letters. Worked fine and now i have latest software for my phone. Kies recognise it also. All ok. No problem with modem or basebands or anything. My phone is carrier free so unlocked.

My S5 is also THR, so I looked-up sammobile for firmwares with PDA:NCI, PHONE: NCI and CSC: NCH.
Found Irak and Egypt to match those and both have the NE2 update available. Not sure I'll proceed with this considering some users reported bricked device and had to find the appropriate firmware. What if there are none for this country?

I wonder where to get the original thr firmware also. I flashed as i mentioned and all working great

So you flashed your THR model with the Egypt firmware and all ok? Good, I'll proceed with that as well.

South america i think. I found one that matched my csc letters, allmost. Check for the one for you.

Flashed MID country, but no unlock setting for s-view case. Not sure I had this option before though? Don't have the s-view case either, maybe that option shows up when the case is there?

that wasn't the case on my GS4, maybe someone can confirm??

same THR csc ... installed russia didn`t work ... it worked with IUS (Mexico) is it fake ?

can't be if it worked with the original samsung firmware....i managed to flash 3 or 4 different firmwares, seems some work better then others. i flashed the June update NE2, works better.

Too late but maybe this is a help for other persons, You can flash: THR, ACR,MID,XSG,PAK,EGY,XFA,AFG,TMC,TUN ; All this firmwares are the same. Install "Phone Info app" to see the codes that you can flash. For Lollipop I have flashed Panama (TPA) and works ok.

I still haven't received Lollipop Update on my Note 3

Anyone else who hasn't received the update yet?
I got my Note 3 from Three network and its still on 4.4.2
I didn't wanna root it because i use the Barclay's App and it doesn't work on Rooted Devices.

Region????

Serious help needed for s7 edge. Calling all the senior developers and members.

I have an s7 edge (G935W8) which is from canada. I am using it in india right now. I want to get volte working on my device which from searches i've found that i need to have indian firmware installed on my phone.
So i tried several firmwares, MM and N also, but no luck with odin. It is giving errors straight away ( repartition operation failed and oltht). Tried different firmwares, only ap and csc, repartition ticked and unticked and all the stuff that i've founded on the internet.
I don't want to root, i want only official Indian firmware on my S7 EDGE from CANADA (SM-G935W8).
Please guys help me out with that. I want it done.

Yes, you can get back to the stock firmware from custom ROM. All of the stock firmwares/os are here: https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/ and can be flashed with odin, resetting the phone to factory default state, i.e. as you buy it now and without any info on it. No matter if it was custom ROM or not before that.

Depends on the model. If on the site there is canadian firmware for that model of the s7 - can be done via odin. If the phone is specific and there is no canadian firmware - can't be done.
