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??

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.
o you have to be ****ting me, please use the search before falsely getting peoples hopes up......

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?
As usual since I'm on a factory unlocked S5 I have no access to OTA updates and the Samsung update software is worthless acting like no updates ever. Anyhow, I can't find anyone posting the stock 6.0 file to sideload or Odin. Would someone mind directing me to one or link one? Decided to go with it since ATT released it a week ago according to the change log on August 26th.
Hello people.
I have a galaxy s7 edge. My software version is 7. I would like to update it to 8 but in Greece there is not available yet. Can I install the UK version? The official from sammobile. Will I have any problems?
Thank you very much in advance.
hey there ,yes u can install but I don't recommend you because this version still have some minor bugs,so I suggest you to wait one week more...if you really want to download the firmware in high speed I recommend you to use www.updato.com it have all Samsung stock firmwares ,don't waste time waiting on sammobile..cheers
Hey guys, One of my friends S7 edge(SM-G935FD)duos unlocked bought in Australia, Probably a grey import is stuck on MM without any updates
Software update Just says no updates available. Tried connecting to Switch, still no luck finding updates.
I been reading that it could be updated through Odin. Just trying to get it updated to Oreo!
Just few questions before i proceed
1. Can Oreo be flashed directly on MM without going to Nougat?
2. Since he is using the phone in Australia can i flash SM-G935F firmware's found on this link? https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s7-edge/SM-G935F/XSA/
(just hoping he would get future OTA updates if i flash Australian Firmware. right?)
3. From the above link, how important is the CSC & PDA , can i just choose the latest and flash? Unlocked phone
4. any tips or guides you guys can point me towards
Thank you
sorry, anyone able answer my 1st question if possible?
is there a tg group?
Hello, I just bought my S8 online and after going for a factory reset, I got this error "Only official released binaries are allowed to be flashed". I just found out that this phone was rooted and one way to fix is to download this specific firmware and install it via ODIN. Is there anyone here who can mirror this firmware (SM-G950FD Philippines XTC) for me? I tried to look for other ways to download it free and fast but sammobile and updato take lots of time to download. :/
Help pls. Thanks!
