You need to wait for your carrier to also allow the update...

Try updating trough the Smart Switch software from Samsung... It will automatically flash the latest version of stock. If it is stull on the same version it means that the update hasn't came for your region

Just try with SS no matter if it shows updates or not. If it doesn't, try Odin.

hey guys, i bought my sgs a month back in singapore and the screen jus gets ppl drooling over it. My current firmware version is i9000dxjf4, and Kies mentions this as the latest firmware but samsung-firmware.webs.com shows that there are three other updates after i9000dxjf4 for the asian region. Is it safe for me to download and update the latest firmware from that website inspite of kies confirming that i'm having the latest firmware. Could u also check out that site its quite cool.
Thanks for your replies....
Kies won't show updated firmware as the Samsung Firmware releases are not official. You can by all means download and install, but they are unsupported and there are risks if you don't do it correctly! Most of us here have flashed new firmwares just fine though.
i was also wondering , i'm in asia so should i install asia specific firmware update or can i download european firmware update. I see that europeans get firmware updates frequently than the asians??

i have a question i bought the set in singapore and i live in india now should i flash i9000xx or i9000dd or i9000zs etc or can i flash any firmware without considering the place i live will this cause any prob?pls reply thnx
there is a FAQ guide on these boards for roms/firmware etc
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=723596
thanks man my problem got solved.....it was informative....
So, did you download the latest firmware from the Samsung site or went ahead to use one of the custom firmware? Would like to hear if some of the problems that we had been experiencing went away after your upgrade (e.g., GPS, lags, 3G/Wifi switch, etc).
I assume upgrading to the firmware from Samsung does not require rooting. Please correct me if I'm wrong. I'll try to stay unrooted for warranty reason.
Cheers.

Care to elaborate?
BTW, OP, I tried searching for the firmware on Samsung website but don't seems to be able to find it. Can you provide link for the mentioned firmware?
I bought my Galaxy SL from Egypt; however, I've lost my original ROM. I've tried both I9003JPKD1 and I9003JPKE1 (Both are Arabic), yet kies still complains it can't update the version. I've problems with these 2 ROMs. The perfromance is sluggish and the camera hangs a lot. I need to use Kies to update to the original firmware my phone came with. Is there anyway to do this?
Kies wont update the version as Samsung has not officially released any for this phone.
you will need to flash other ROM using the Odin and all info about that is already available just check the flashing guide and be careful as you might loose your warranty.

Kies detect your location and your fw release version, i tried matching the fw and my pc region but still no luck.

Yes, I flashed the only 2 Arabic firmwares available on samfirmware using Odin; however, it seems both of them were signed in KSA and not Egypt. Where can I find an Egyptian ROM?
I have the same problem here

Hi,
Have 3 released an OTA update yet?
You might get an answer from THIS THREAD
reply
the device is unbranded so it wont get updates from 3 i think, i think it will get updates from samsung directly
however yes 3 have released ota update however my phone is saying the latest updates have been installed when there are actually infact updates available

As your phone report that the latest updates have been installed, that means everthing is OK and the phone status is official...
Sometimes some roms available to dowload (for example from Sammobile) could be not available yet in OTA mode. I always flash with Odin, I don't really relay on OTA updates...
reply
okk thanks, just a quick question which country gets the updates first? and which countrys firmware are you running on your device?

I personally use the Phone Info app from the play store. I only ask as I was going to try to see what should be your latest firmware VS what you are on. E.g I'm on BTU and if I didn't have a custom ROM, my latest update is DQD7 still on the April update.
If your knox is already void, would you consider a custom ROM? Superstock 2.8 is fantastic and has the May security pack.

Your original CSC ought to be XSG(UAE). Nevertheless, since you've flashed the SLK firmware, there is no need of worry. By the way, you may not be getting new update since the firmware might be already latest, as last update to Sri Lankan firmware arrived way back in January. Just see the attachment.

Thanks for the help. Will I get be able to get the updates if I flash the UAE rom?
SLK firmware is fulled with bloatware and I am not planning to root my phone again.

You'll get updates, provided Samsung releases a new one in the UAE region. Which I think won't probably happen as Galaxy J5's two year support period is nearly over.
Nevertheless, I'd recommend you to change the CSC to INS(INDIA) by dialing *#272*imei 1# on your phone dialer and then choosing INS as the Sales code. Keep in mind that by doing so your device'll reboot and wipe all the datas.
As far as I know, J500F used to get more frequent updates in India than any other country.
Tnx.
Hi
Which android version do you have?
J5 is not getting many updates.After the 6.0.1 update there may not be anymore.
Plus if your phone is not official then it wont get any more updates.
