[Q] KitKat for SM900 in Egypt

Hello,
I have an N900 Note 3 (Baseband N900XXUCMK1), I live in Egypt, Africa and I still haven't received the Kitkat update. I'm still on 4.3 and whenever i check for update it tells me my software is up to date. I also tried to check when connected to Samsung Kies and it tells me the same.
How can I solve this? Is there a way I can get KITKAT without rooting or flashing? I am kind of new to the android scene
Thanks in advance

1- What is your CSC code? You live in Egypt, but your device may be not belong to this region. You have to provide more details. Use this app Phone INFO ★Samsung★ to get your CSC code.
2- Anyway, if OTA and Kies doesn't help, you can update manually by open Phone INFO ★Samsung★ app, go to Menu and select 'Firmware Browser...', you will see the list of available firmwares for your device. The top of the list is the latest one. You can download it and flash by using Odin (without rooting, of course). The download link is also given there.

Same problems as above
Dear VNDNGUYEN
I installed your app
My device is also the rose gold galaxy note 3 and I also haven't received the kitkat update
I am in Pakistan (Rose gold wasn't available in my country officially)
My device details are as under
SM-N900
Bootloader N900XXUCMK2
CSC version N900JVCMJ3
Original CSC code THR
CSC country UAE
I used the firmware browser in your app and it says "Sorry, no data available"
What should we do now?
Any help would be most welcome
Regards

stay on 4.3 plzzzzzzz

Hello,
My S4 I9505 4.4.2 LUX keeps restarting frequently
I reinstalled the official 4.4.2 LUX with ODIN... same problem
I am thinking of downgrading to 4.3
I am currently downloading 4.3 LUX, but it takes many hours at 10 - 20 KB/s for a 1.5 GB ZIP to download... unless I want to pay for a faster service :silly:
I find it unbelievable of Samsung of NOT SOLVING the 4.4.2 S4 restart problem.
Unbelievable that the android S4 versions 4.2.2, 4.3, 4.4.2 are not available on an official Samsung service site!!
So I am thinking/hoping that a German or UK version of 4.3 is available for faster download (MEGA, ...)
A not so happy Samsung customer,

Sites like http://samfirmware.com/ and http://sammobilecom/ are official.
Don't downgrade to 4.3 version, unless you don't mind to trip knox flag.
Instead of it, try to do a factory reset and see if the problem persists, if so go to a service center.

I did a factory reset and the problem still persists.
I had a chat with the Samsung "support" and they do not know about the problem...
Just google: random-reboot-problem
buying a LG smartphone next time?

As pfbatista mentioned it is not OK to downgrade to 4.3.
So, I will try another country and more recent 4.4.2.
I am downloading a German DBT version: I9505XXUGNG8_I9505YBTGNG8_DBT
Hopefully my S4 will stay alive and not restart every now and then with this version...
I keep you posted

ivybec,
I found this http://www.technobezz.com/fix-samsung-galaxy-automatically-restarting/
Maybe you could try one of these methods?
Do you know if the problem also affects the I9500 (Exynox)?

Hello Marcello,
Thank you for the link!
I didn't know this site.
Right now I am re-installing 4.4.2 and hope for the best.
If the restarts continue, I will try one-by-one the proposed methods.
I don't know if the problem is also on I9500.
Rgds,
Ivy

I did not have any unwanted restarts anymore

Hello,
Since my re-installation of android 4.4.2 (black edition = latest version?) a DBT (German free version) instead of the Belgian LUX (Belgium free version), I did not have any unwanted restarts
Maybe the new version (black edition) solves some problems (I don't see any difference with my previous version though)
Or, this time, I flushed caches and the S4 was reformatted... that probably solved the problem.?
Kies 3 sees the DBT version as genuine
Hopefully the end of my Samsung misery,
Ivy

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

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.

T387AAUCS3CUD1 Firmware for SM-T387AA (Samsung Galaxy Tab A)

Hi!
Does anyone know where I can find the T387AAUCS3CUD1 stock ROM? I'm trying to fix a unit that I may have messed up by tinkering with custom ROMs.

Anyone?

Still nothing?

Hi also searching high and low for T387AAUCS3CUD1.
Any success finding it?
Samsung Galaxy Tab A (T387AA) - Software Update for the Samsung Galaxy Tab A (T387AA) - AT&T
Get Samsung Galaxy Tab A (T387AA) support for the topic: Software Update for the Samsung Galaxy Tab A (T387AA). Find more step-by-step device tutorials on att.com.
www.att.com
ATT is worthless - no support. OTA Android 8 won't update to Android 10. Says already current.

No luck yet :-(

Still no luck.

Someone recently gave me a SM-T387AA, came across this thread while looking for the latest firmware for the device. It does appear that T387AAUCS3CUD1 is the latest for the AA version, which I also was unable to locate. (probably because ATT uses their own servers for firmware instead of samsung) However, while searching, I also came across a newer version of firmware for SM-T387W.
Specifically:
AP VERSION T387WVLS3CVK2
CSC VERSION T387WOYV3CVK2
CSC VTR (Canada)
ANDROID VERSION Q(Android 10)
SIZE 2.62 GB Full Files
MD5 d3b07faf990e6b33b55f5f39839799e4
BUILD DATE 20221114152111
SECURITY PATCH LEVEL 2022-06-01
To my surprise, I flashed the 387W firmware on my 387AA with ODIN and everything seems to be working just fine. Still can't unlock my bootloader though. I see there's also a 387R4 variant. I might try that next, and will report back if I do.

Would this not though prevent a user from being able to use it on AT&T?

I popped in an ATT sim and calls/txt appear to be working.

Oh interesting, I wonder what the difference between the two firmware versions are then?

I used Bifrost. It can pull the latest firmware for most samsung devices that are hosted on samsung servers. Type in the model, "SM-T387W" and the CSC, "VTR", check for update and then download.

Looking for a version of firmware

Hello, i'm looking for a stock firmware for Galaxy Note. The version i'm looking for is N7000XXKKA N7000OXXKK6 with XEO CSC (Poland) Andoird 2.3.6. I was looking for it on SamMobile, SamFW and Google but everywhere I check there are links that no longer work. Does anyone have this software or know where to get it?

Hello, im also looking for a specific stock firmware of the GT-N7000, im trying to find the N7000XILB1/N7000ITVKL1/N7000XXLB1/ firmware with ITV CSC (Italy Unbranded), im actually trying to find any version of Android GB 2.3.6 for the Galaxy Note ITV, but i can't find any working link online, all of them were hosted on the now dead Hotlink.com, there is a list of 2.3.6 GB Stock rom on XDA, their links are also dead but maybe you can have luck by searching for it in the archive.org, i found the ITV 2.3.6 .torrent on the Wayback Machine but unfortunately that's also dead with 0 seeds.
If anyone knows where to find Android GB 2.3.6 today please let us know, thanks.

Hello, here you go, i found the famous OXA Open Europe (Multi-CSC) Gingerbeard 2.3.6 Rom on this website: https://chule.tistory.com/54?category=401177
This is the GT-N7000 Launch firmware if im correct, i flashed trough Odin on a phone that had 4.1.2 JB, then i wiped data + cache and it worked well, after that i went on the Phone Dialer and typed this code -> *#06# (to get the phone IMEI Number) after that i typed this -> *#272*[IMEI]# and i changed CSC to ITV (Italy), i don't see Poland in the CSC List but you can try another 2.3.6 Rom from that website, or just use Germany or another Europe Country CSC.

Sorry im wrong actually there is XEO in the CSC List (*#272*[IMEI]#), so here you go
If you need to login with Google on android 2.3.6 GB you need to Update the Google Account Manager to the latest version, then update your Android Market to the Play Store and you can use the device.
There really are no more apps that support Android GB, you can get a lot of older games from 2011-2014 (such as Geometry Dash) on the Playstore but modern apps do not run on it, Chrome and Firefox do not work.
I Reccomend to download Opera Mini from the Playstore so you can at least go on Modern Websites, if you need Facebook you can use the Lite version which is still updated and works on GB, Google Maps still works altough it's a really old version so it doesn't have all the new features.
The latest version of Instagram is from 2014 and it no longer works, you can login but it will crash, you can still use it from Opera Mini.
The last version of Youtube is 5.5.30 and it doesn't work anymore as they disabled the Api for that version in 2020, you can use YT from Opera by going to https://m.youtube.com/f
Sometimes it will not let you access Youtube and it will say that your device is no longer supported and you need to update to Android ICS (4.0), so i reccomend to use the modded Youtube Apk i attached on this post, it's basically the web version of Youtube in an App.
The latest version of Whatsapp is from 2017 but it stopped working in 2020, so you can no longer use it, you need Android 4.1 as minimum.
I downgraded my Note to GB just for fun and nostalgia (also to remove the carrier bloated JB rom), but im going to Custom Rom this phone and you should too, as i said there is no modern app that runs on Android Gingerbeard and it's not a good experience, i just wanted to test it but yea now im going to install a more modern version of Android and see how it runs.
