I've been waiting patiently for XEO version of MM but now I'm tired of waiting. Has anyone in this region flashed another version successfully?
I'm just concerned about having modem issues if I use another region.
That's been replied in other threads already.
They had no problem, neither selecting russina, nor turkish, etc. To be sure, ask in already existing thread.
Yeah, I've read those threads - people are from other regions. Anyway, guess I'll just go ahead and flash one.
If Germany don't realse the firmware tomorrow I think I will flash turkish version! because in this website I can check the Changelist http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=SM-A510F and Turkey had "8492782" more than the other marshamallow roms so maybe it's better.
I have flashed the russian MM version from sammobile and it works perfectly as it should, since it is not telecom branded you won't deal with excessive bloatware. The only "russian" thing in it is that it has russian keyboard input preinstalled togetger with English of course.

I tried to flash the PRO version (unbranded Belgium) and it failed. I'm waiting for the SER (Russian to download).
OK, flash with SER passed

It may have failed because of corrupted download. It's always been a pain downloading from Sammobile, given the slow speeds you need a stable internet conenction for extensive periods of time. I'm glad you succeded with the Russian one.

Yes, it's possible that was the problem. It only took about 6 hours to download

So,I bought a new s4 octa today.All is great ranging from the bright screen to the nice 22 gigs available.But I'm having some kind of problem.I don't get any updates via OTA,also I tried using KIES and it says I have non-Samsung device and that it has latest firmware.
The baseband version is i9500XXUAMDK and the build number is JDQ39.I9500XXUAMDK.
I don't have heating problems as I topped 40 Celsius with 32 in standby or just playing with it,but how do I update?

In what country do you live? Also install CPU Z from Play, that should give you info about the phone`s hard- and software. Non-Samsung device but still the latest software?

I'm so sorry,I was mistaken when saying that it's non-Samsung.It's recognized as GT-i9500 so no problem with recognition.I live in Romania.Are you sure that what I have is the latest software?If not,why don't I receive any updates?
EDIT: I used CPU-Z from the beginning,and I have 32-34 when just browsing or watching vids and it gets up to 40 in gaming.

The I9500 is not beeing officialy sold in Romania, the I9505 is. It is probably an imported device from another country bro. There is no Romanian I9500 rom available on Sammobile, only I9505 roms. The MDK is quite an old rom. You could flash the Russian I9500XXUBMG1 rom with Odin for instance. There aren`t many Euro roms available as far as i can see, the Russian SER is the only one next to the German MBC rom http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=17177. Check it on Sammobile yourself http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/1/?model=GT-I9500&pcode=SER#firmware. What was the language when the phone booted up the first time?

You flash official firmware in this case, so no. In what language did the phone boot up the first time, German, Russian or another language? BTW look in item 1 of my signature for how to use Odin.

I highly recommend that you find out more about your version before starting flashing other firmware. Look at the box, it should give you a hint. Also, find out the CSC (see in Kies, somewhere in the files). After you know your CSC, check sammobile and download your existing firmware just for backup so you can always flash it back to original if needed.
Then look if there is any newer firmware for your CSC. If not, you can flash a newer one for i9500 with a different country code.
If you're planning on rooting, you'll lose warranty, but can always turn back to stock if you need the warranty, triangle away and stock firmware will help.
However, if you root it, first thing you should make an EFS backup.
Edit: Oh wait, triangle away is not available at the moment for i9500... Forgot about that.

I found out that my i9500 is designed for South Africa(XFA).Now,when I look on sammobile,I see that the latest firmware for me is MDK(April) and that's the one I have.How the hell the latest firmware for South Africa is the April one when all the other countries have newer ones(from july and sometimes august)?!?

You can flash a newer firmware from another region, or you should consider the benefits (and the risks) of custom roms.
Anyone in the UK got there OTA or Kies Lollipop update yet?
If you have flashed the German DBT & the CSC has changed will it change back to the UK CSC if flashed later with a UK Firmware?

No update for me yet, however I think that Samsung will provide the network provider with the build then the network provider will add there bloatware and so on. I'm not 100% sure on this though.
Based on the CSC changing to a German CSC when I flashed the German DBT I'd have a guess and say flashing a UK ROM via Odin it would again change the CSC. Just a guess..
I have installed the German DBT and so far so good..

Hi mark, just wondering but I have a n910f UK version and I flashed the German lollipop build through Odin yesterday, although after giving it some time to boot it upgraded all of the pre-installed apps, the phone booted but all that showed up was a black screen and an empty notification bar, and kept rebooting over and over. anyone know what the problem could be?

Hi xjw1,
Not really knowledgeable enough to help much here. You don't say what you flashed the rom over. I flashed over bobcat rom and had already updated the bootloader too. I also did a full wipe in recovery before using odin. If you ask here you should get a response from an expert. Good luck. http://forum.xda-developers.com/note-4/general/910f-official-lolipop-germany-dbt-t3029508

Yup you use the German update you get the German CSC, flash to a UK one you'll get a UK CSC. But there is almost no difference.You'd be better off sticking to this German one. Whenever an update is pushed you will get it first. If you flash a UK ROM you'll be back in the same situation you're in now waiting for an upgrade. Sometimes the UK providers are weeks/months behind the German updates.
If you want any new OTA updates as soon as Europe gets them stick with this ROM. That is unless you want the UK bloatware. I'm quite surprised the only German stuff is deletable. I bet the EE/Vodafone stuff won't be.
Edit: Actually I take that back, I just checked my CSC and my phone is showing as Polish OXA strangely enough. Well I'm pretty sure I'll still get the OTAs first. What I said should still count for German/Polish updates as they get them first so ..........(fingers crossed).
Flashed German update still retained my UK CSC
Like Mcshave said am better off with German update than EE bloatwares.

So all you guys who have done the same to your UK N4, will you flash the BTU when it's released or stay on the German Rom?
Hello i have Samsung Galaxy S5 from uk h3g is from three mobile is neverlocked why i don't recieve update to android 6.0.1? my rom is stock 5.0
Because *afaik* 3 mobile UK hasn't released 6.0 for the S5 yet. I am with 3 UK too, but I got sick and tired of waiting so I flashed a BTU firmware (unbranded) and will upgrade to 6.0 as soon as I'm satisfied that the bugs that are holding me away from 6.0 have been rectified.
If i want to flash rom from samfirmware with odin3 ex : uk or romanian unbranded rom is ok or i need something Pda csc?. sory for my english
If your device is running H3G firmware and you are getting good signal where you live, then the UK BTU firmware should also be fine.

It's not down to Samsung mate......
They've made the updates available....that's all they can do.
It's down to the network provider.....
They have to release it to their devices, and for whatever reason, they haven't updated this device yet.....

Yes, you should be ok to flash German firmware over your Serbian firmware, as they're both multi-CSC.
FYI - the latest Serbian firmware is here: https://updato.com/firmware-archive...&rpp=15&r=MSR,TOP&order=date&dir=desc&exact=1
You can edit the filter up the top to remove Serbia and add others, or just leave all and sort by date to get the newest firmware at the top.
Or, instead you can go here: https://forum.xda-developers.com/s10-plus/how-to/asba-official-stock-fw-update-odin-t3908710

Hi,
My phone is Portuguese, and some while ago, i've flashed a UK firmware because i couldn't finda updated version of a Portuguese Firwmare without carrier apps.
After the flashing the UK version, the recovery got a different recovery UI and those lines started showing up. recovery pic >> https://i.imgur.com/R4xCAWU.jpg
And flashing a new and updated Portuguese Firmware using the latest Odin (3.13.1) is not changing the carrier code in the software ( TPH for Portugal and XEU for UK)
Is there a way to fix it?
Thanks in advance.
