Hi,
I updated my p7510 that i bought in canada (xac) with firmware xwkg7. I live in germany and wanted a european version of the fw.
I did the following:
-Update tab (pit, bootloader, csc, code) using P7510XXKFC
-Update tab (code) using P7510XWKG7
After the update recovery gave me strange error messages (/preload cannot be mounted and so on). However, I installed CWM, so I do not have these errors anymore.
I also did factory reset, wipe cache...
However, since I updated the firmware I cannot use "about tablet->software update->update" anymore. I always get the following error message:
"Failed to update firmware due to network or server problem. Try software update later (Setting->Software update->Update) or using PC software (Kies)"
Before the update this worked just fine (although no update could be found). I dont have network problems, as I can browse, chat etc.
Since the update Kies is also not showing my current firmware version on my tab.
I guess it has something todo with the country where I bought the tab (canada) and the rom that i used to update (europe version)?
Do you know or have ideas how I could fix this problem?
I dont like the feeling that somwthing is not working on my tab
Thanks!
Klaus
Try to reflash the stock recovery with odin and factory reset, that will recreate the needed data structure on the tab and try again.
Or maybe its because you mixed incompatible code/csc.
Start over.
I found the solution.
I described it here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1280069
In short: csc files were completely missing. This caused all my trouble.
Hope this will help someone.
Klaus
I have the same problem.
So if I want to fix I have to install csc and PDA files at the same time?
Does that mean all my data will be erased?
Could I just use csc?
Where can I find these files?
Sorry for the 1000 questions!
I am currently on vacation and can not tell you the firmware versions, but at Sammy firmware I found two European rom versions. One had also a csc file that I flashed.
Flashing the original csc file with Odin will do a factory reset. You could also download a custom rom, extract the csc stuff and copy it to /system,if you want to avoid factory reset. You have the choice
But if you use an original PDA/code file and flash it with Odin, csc files are not included and must be added afterwards somehow!

Upgraded from Kitkat to Lollipop. Just. Need some help rooting.
So not being very experienced at Rooting/Flashing Roms this may come across strange.
Here is a little background to my problem.
I had a rooted Note 3 running KitKat before I decided to flash to Lolipop. I downloaded the Vodafone (UK) variant of the ROM from Sammobile not thinking anything of it at the time (As I am on Vodafone) I went through the usual procedure of going into download mode running Odin as admin and then connecting my phone, adding the Rom files to Odin and then Flashing. Flashing started fine as it got towards the end it Failed on Hidden(Something).
I panicked didn't know what to do so I unplugged my device and tried to reboot. It didn't. It said something along of the lines as there is a firmware error and got stuck on that screen. Panicked some more, decided I would try to google a fix. Came across one which required me to flash CWM Recovery onto my phone. I thought I would try it, Once it flashed which went fine I was told too try and boot straight into recovery mode once the phone starts and reboot through there. I took out my battery put it back in and then went ahead and tried to boot into recovery which worked. Once on CWM I went to reboot the phone As I hit yes too reboot It took me to another screen where it said I wasn't rooted and if I would like to reroot. I decided to click NO and restart the phone. It got stuck on a boot loop, I did a factory reset and cache wipe and it booted into life. (And working fine so far)
So here is where the problem is.
I am looking to get root back to the device. I think I have a locked boot loader as I installed the Vodafone variant of the 5.0 Rom. Would I be able to Flash the BTU Rom onto my device without bricking it, and after that would I be able to root Via CFAutoRoot which seems to be the easiest way to so. Or could I flash with CFAutoRoot Straight onto this ROM.
Info:
BTU ROM:
Date Country/Carrier Version PDA CSC
2015-07-01 United Kingdom 5.0 N9005XXUGBOF1 N9005BTUGBOD2
ROM I INSTALLED:
Date Country/Carrier Version PDA CSC
2015-06-01 United Kingdom (Vodafone) 5.0 N9005XXUGBOD6 N9005VFGGBOD2
Thanks for any help in advance.
I recommend installing TWRP and flashing supersu.zip from TWRP.
Search "CF Auto Root Note 3 xda" in Google.
That's easy.
Btw i too will recommend using TWRP as recovery.

Problem Solved, Flashed to another 5.0 ROM and then rooted via the normal CF Method. Thanks for the replys.
I just puchased a yotaPhone 2 and as all of us know there is no native update button in phone ,i downloaded firmware through yotaflasher but cannot find it in my PC and showing error ..where to download the firmware from and where to place it for flashing the firmware,can anyone please provide me detail instructions on how to flash lollipop on this phone . thanks in advance!
Yotaflasher should take care of all that, it stores firmware in the firmware sub folder. There is no need to look at anything. Just select download zip, then select flash in yotaflasher.
Try repeating it.
For detailed instructions, plz read the other posts on this Yotaphone group .
Also don't forget too put your phone in download mode! And make sure windows finds the drivers for the phone or you'll be really frustrated!
hi,i tried to upgrade to Lolipop but now i'm stuck.Using adb devices finds my device connected but when i write adb sideload <filename.zip> does nothing and after a while i get the message in my phone E:footer is wrong E:signature verification failed.
I have tried with 4 different firmwares ..same result.Any ideas please? i'm stuck in the Android system recovery and can't do anything with the phone.
Don't sideload the zips from the yota ftp - they can't be flashed like that.
Instead use yotaflasher. If needed delete the folder where yotaflasher is installed on your PC, then reinstall it again.
In YotaFlasher download latest RU firmware, put the phone in download mode ( power+ volume down) and start flashing.

- I bought YD206 CN firmware(4.4.4) and downloaded the latest firmware(5.0) under CN directory of YOTA firmwares and successfully installed it using Yotaflasher.
- After upgrading, model number reflects YD201 and the build number - LRX21M.5.0.0-HK1.1.124d
My question is can I flash the latest RU build on the firmware mentioned above?
Thanks in advance.
You need to flash RU 124 and then update with OTA to RU 134.
So in conclusion If I have HK 2006 phone Is better to upgrade to 5.0.0-HK1.1.66.zip and after that need to flash again if I want EU or RU version, never do that directly because would be problems.
I yotaflashed yd206 from HK 4.4.4 kitkat to latest Russian kit kat, then did an OTA to get the latest Russian lollipop firmware. No problems, but there is a long wait at the yotaphone animation for 5 minutes after lollipop upgrade.
I had no problems with radio (frequency bands) on newly configured Yd201 but I live in Asia.

So you say is better to upgrade the firmware from HK 4.4 to RU 4.4 and then i flash the firmware again with 5.-.-0?
No, only 1 flash is required using my method, HK4.4 -> RU4.4
You can then update RU4.4 kitkat -> RU1.1.124 lollipop by OTA (Over The Air) because it can then be updated directly in the phone settings. This OTA must be done anyway in order to get to latest RU version.
The size of the OTA is 1GB, a huge download. During the first boot up of the lollipop, there is a very very long wait for lollipop to start for the first time, where it updates all your apps to new lollipop format. Be patient at the yotaphone animation during first lollipop boot up.
I'm not saying my method is better, I only use this method because I read here that a few people had problems flashing directly from HK 4.4 -> RU 5.0 But Many people have successfully flashed direct from HK4.4 -> RU1.1.124
Forgot putting the phone in download mode

My work phone is a Verizon Galaxy S7 and has had nothing but problems with Nougat since I updated. Factory reset hasn't fixed my issues and I want to return to Marshmallow if possible.
My question is, is it safe/plausible to do so?
I'd be using the firmware and guide (return to stock) from here:
https://forum.xda-developers.com/ve...-to-notes-root-install-xposed-unroot-t3411039
Thanks
Good to go as I found some information in various threads. In case anyone is wondering or stumbles upon this one, here's what I did:
I have the Galaxy S7 Verizon GT-930V that was running latest Nougat OTA from VZW
1. Downloaded the latest MM firmware from Android File Host:
https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=745425885120708283
2. Downloaded and installed Odin 3.12 Prince Comsy:
http://dl.psouza4.com/android/Odin3_v3.12_PrinceComsy.zip
3. Downloaded and installed Samsung USB Drivers:

4. Downloaded and installed adb system wide:
http://dl.psouza4.com/android/adb-setup-1.4.3.exe
5. Unzipped firmware and loaded each file into Odin and flashed.
Great success.
