can please answer and tell me what is my download firmware and if my actual is the last?
and if i avoid warranty if install the new downloaded?
thanks many
THIS is the newest version for italian unbranded g950f devices. I believe you already are on this firmware.
And no your warranty is not void if you simply flash an official firmware.
Based on this search:
yours must be in this link:
https://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?record=19E8AE841DD011E89F15FA163EE8F90B
also in that link contains how to flash the firmware.
after you extract it, there will be couple of files, just be careful, put the HOME_CSC_OLE on Odin's CSC field.
do not put CSC_OLE there.
Last help please. In my actual rom already oreo, can i do the steps to flash without risk bootloop?
I thank you very much fir patience
Yes you can flash this without risking a bootloop, but thats exactly the firmware you already have? it would make no sense at all, as you're allready on the newest firmware.
I thank you... But i am afraid that something gone bad when i flashed update... WhatsApp often crash when i send images and others.... I hope to solve with new flash, wrong idea according to you? I already formatted resetted.... Please help me....
Very thanks
The whatsapp crash when trying to send photos is a known issue, try to google it (although it doesn't affect me)
the four options im aware of now are:
*live with the whatsapp crash, hope a future update will fix it
*try another firmware with another csc. As long as you don't need carrier spcific settings (like VoLTE,...) this shouldn't bother you. For instance with the BTU csc.
*go back to nougat and wait for a newer oreo update
*when you don't mind triggering knox 0x1 try a custom ROM like Renovate ICE, I never had problems with this ROM
*
Many thanks for patience, i hope another question from you... If i want install firmware oreo brand tim italy, ore go back to nougat... Can i di the same steps flashing from that website? After can i fkash going back and refkash without probkems if flash roms branded, unbranded or nougat and oreo? Please last help
Yes you can download whatever firmware you want from updato.com as long as it is for the model sm-g950f, it doesn't matter if its 8.0 TIM Italy/8.0 germany T-mobile/7.0 italy unbranded/...
As long as the model is right you can flash whatever you want/switch between Oreo and Nougat/switch between countrys and carriers/...
i thank you. you were very helpful for me. thanks from italy!!!!
No problem, greetings from austria
please, can help me yet? when i insert all 4 files in odin, the phone is seen from odin on com6 but the flash shown done in 1 second and the phone reboot. what wrong? thanks

Hello, Im new to this forum and hope not violating any rules..
I just bought Galaxy S4 i9500 and has stock 4.2.2 installed. Cant update to kitkat neither with settings, nor with KIES 2.6/3.
Kies 2.6 says " Your Device's Current firmware version is not supported to update firmware via Kies. " (see attch)
I'm total newbie with these CSC codes and nor googling helped me out with all my questions:
How to make CSC and phone sales codes match safely without flashing official rom?
I bought AFR version S4 designed for Kenya in republic of Georgia (Asia/Europe). There is no firmware designed for Georgia. So does this mean I will never be able to obtain updates OTA or via Kies?
Phone INFO and such apps didnt work coz it couldnt find "preconfig" file.. Does this mean flashing is the only way? Which websites are good for official stock firmwares?

My BB number is : I9500XXUBMG9
Here is my question..
1) Will this baseband region phone ever receive OTA update?
2) if NOT, then should i use services that samfirmware.com offers?
if YES, then can i install official firmware originally created for another baseband? For example can i use Russian I9500XXUGNG3 kitkat on my I9500XXUBMG9 ?
Doesnt it void waranty?
What are the risks of bricking? i mean basebands differ from each other, isnt that problem?
Also Im dissapointed with 2G call voice, sometimes i barely hear caller.. Can this be Baseband problem? I think this bmg9 baseband was originally for IRAQ carriers and im here in Georgia, which doesnt have specific baseband i guess...
I would be extremely grateful to those who answer me in this hard time ^^

Hi mate ,
First thing if you are in 4.2.2 is a shame to upgrade the bootloader..is Knox free
Your official updates most like it are blocked because you do not have the right CSC , download a nice little app from the market call PHONE INFO there it will tell you what your CSC is , this app can also change your CSC as long as it is available in the rom ( if you do backup first changing the CSC will do a factory reset)
Regarding your questions
1 OTA are CSC dependent
2 Samfirmware is good , and reliable you can go that way also
Second part of your questions
1 you can flash firmware for other countries , that is not a problem , BUT you may have problem with what languages are available , specific country services may not be available , no OTA
2 As long as you only flash stock rom (odin) you will not void the warranty
3 Briking is always a risk but when flashing not for different basebands
4 Maybe , for sure the right baseband would help

If I change CSC code to USA will I get OTA updates as soon as USA citizens get it? Doesnt it depend that im outside of USA?
Is there any cons for changing CSC?
My country, is not listed in CSC codes.. Is there a way i can always get OTA updates?

Hi,
A knox free bootloader is important if warranty some how is important for you , other wise there are the same
Regarding your first set of questions
1 Not an expert on kies but as long as all the csc inpho match it should , unless there is an issue with kies registration or IP
2 CSC give you country specifics network set ups , differnt countries have different set ups , fastdormancy , special services.......
3 you need to flash a stock rom from your country or region
Yes flashing firmware may change the csc code.
This is a list of ODIN flashable stock ROMs. Uploading them to AFH and posting them here for faster download.

I will download what's out and start posting them :good:
When you download the file is a ZIP. I think I must decompress it in order to get the tar.md5 , right?
Which option must I select in Odin? AP with only REboot and Factory reset?
thanks!

Reflashing
Hi,
I will reflash factory Firmware, i have rottet and have custom recovery. I already have download Firmware and odin can somebody explain me please hove to do it i will be greatfull thanks everybody :good:
I understand that these are stock roms, curious if non-stock roms like CM12 and similar will ever make their way over? My OR rom is awesome, I'm just one of those fools that's constantly customizing for the fun of it.

Hello
Rooting my device voids the warranty, but if I have any problems with my device and need support ... Can I flash the stock ROM and take it to customer support?
Without them finding out?

No. You can reinstall stock ROM and have the tablet working as before, but after installing anything custom the efuse will be blown. This means that it can always be detected that custom firmware/kernels/recovery/root/etc have at one point been installed. It also means security containers like Knox will refuse to operate.
I tried out the October (J) release for T815 which has been released for DBT (Germany) and a few other places. (link here). PDA version: T815XXU2AOJ4. Included CSCs: BTU (UK), DBT (Germany), ITV (Italy), XEF (France), XEO (Poland). Android 5.0.2. Previously I had the latest release for PHN (Netherlands), which is still T815XXU1AOG9.
Stagefright bug fixed according to Lookout. Not fixed according to Trustable.
New app icons
Still no multi-user
For DBT, there are four German bloatware apps included. All four can be uninstalled without root.
No Camera2 API
Dialer doesn't accept the secret codes like *#06#, *#0*#, *#1234#
Weird display behaviour (flashing, freezing) at very low battery percentages
Warning: you can not fully downgrade from this version "2" firmware to the version "1" firmwares we had until now! You can partially downgrade if you leave the bootloader and the modem as is (so downgrade only PDA and CSC).
This is great. Any chance that someone has the Stock ROM for the SM-T817V? Or does the firmware for the T815 work on this device?
The October T815XXU2AOJ4 version is now also out for T815 in the Netherlands (PHN), which is bloatfree. No other CSCs included. Link here. The dialer accepts the secret codes like "*#1234#" again. Otherwise the experience is the same. Again, you can't downgrade from this version.
Can the 5.1.1 update be flashed on any SM-T810?
I purchased one in Australia and when I tried to follow the instructions and flash with ODIN I get an error SW REV CHECK FAIL DEVICE when using 5.1.1_T810XXU1BOH7_T810XAR1BOH7_XAR.zip
I had and un-rooted device, which just received an update (11/03) to version LMY47X.T710XXU2BOJ1. I ended up rooting and flashing TWRP on it, but I'm having an issue writing to my external SD card. Is there something I can flash to fix this?
Thanks
edit: Google was my friend - manually updated platform.xml.

The T810XXU1BOH7 firmware is very old (H = August I think). Apparently for your device it constitutes a downgrade, which it doesn't allow. Download the most recent firmware to flash. If e.g. you currently have firmware with a "2A" (5.0.2) on your device, you can't flash this "1B" (5.1.1) firmware even though it seems like an upgrade of android, because it is a downgrade of the bootloader. Download firmware with "2B" (5.1.1) in the name and I think it may work.
I don't have the T810, but T815 which is still stuck at 5.0.2...
Is it possible to flash a T710 firmware onto a T715 device? I don't need LTE at all so I don't mind losing it (I have no SIM). I just want to get faster updates because I need multi-user support from 5.1.1.

And then I used Odin to flash it, with Kies uninstalled, Samsung drivers up-to-date and so on according to the instruction I've read. Now what I have is a fancy brick with the Samsung brand on it ( I can still get into download mode. What should I do now?

Hey, you may try another firmware or follow the procedure(in the video) to avoid that failure. Exclude modem.bin from firmware and find the another one which fits F variant then flash it after firmware..

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.

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.
Hi,
I had installed the Helios Rom on my S7 Edge G935FD
I wanted to revert to the stock rom, but in ODIN, it was always failing.
After several tries, I could flash the Stock ROM G935FXXU1DQAZ_CL10273029_QB12312524, but keeping the BL unchecked.
Whenever I try the BL, it fails.
I have flashed the ROM, it Starts, but the SIM is not recognized.
Please HELP!

May be its because your are flashing old BL over new BL which is not possible. Always download latest firmware for your region from "samfirmware" and try again.
I have downloaded the latest version of the firmware. I just can not flash the BL..
I have the same issue. Cant connect to mobile network and can't flash BL.
Please help someone.

Ok check Sammobile for a BL Version 2 because, as said before a BL downgrade is not possible at the moment. Not all countrys and carrier have all Versions with BL2.
Her's an example:
G935FXXU2ERE8 <-- BL 2 Oreo
G935FXXS2DRDI <-- BL 2 Nougat
G935FXXU1DQJ1 <-- BL 1 Nougat
I hope that helps to download the right version.

And just in case u or mayb someone else might need this info, here is where the (SAMSUNG USB DRIVER) can b found: (https://samsungusbdriver.com/download/samsung-driver-v1.5.63.0).
