Hello,
I am trying to obtain the source code for the Linux kernel running on my phone.
I own a Samsung Galaxy S4 running the latest OTA update from AT&T:
Samsung Galaxy S4 (I337) - Software Update for the Samsung Galaxy S4 (I337) - AT&T
Get Samsung Galaxy S4 (I337) support for the topic: Software Update for the Samsung Galaxy S4 (I337) . Find more step-by-step device tutorials on att.com.
www.att.com
Release date: January 19, 2017
Android version: 5.1
Baseband version: I337UCSGOK3
Kernel version: 3.4.0-6185444
Build number: LRX22C.I337UCSGOK3
File size: 304MB
Previous version required: I337UCUGOK2
From the AT&T website I see that the previous versions prior to I337UCSGOK3 were I337UCUGOK2 (Dec. 9, 2015) and prior to that I337UCUGOC4 (Aug. 11, 2015) which followed I337UCUGOC3 (April 7, 2015). I have successfully downloaded the source code for the Linux kernel used in the I337UCUGOC3 update (April 7, 2015):
Samsung Open Source
opensource.samsung.com
I find this by putting I337 in the search parameters. However, I am unable to find the source code for the Linux kernel running on the latest firmware (I337UCSGOK3) nor, for that matter, any of I337UCUGOK2 or I337UCUGOC4.
Please I would appreciate assistance if anyone knows whether this source code is available. Do I have to go to AT&T instead of Samsung, perhaps because the carrier was involved in the firmware update (as it came over the air)? Or maybe it is available from Samsung but has to be specifically requested? I saw the following in the Announcements file from the I337UCUGOC3 kernel available on the Samsung website:
If the source code cannot be found on our website, please contact [email protected].

However, when I emailed this mailbox I received an automated message saying that it was not monitored, and was redirected to submit a request through the Samsung website, which I did but have not heard back yet.
Thank you in advance,

Update: I have heard back from Samsung, although they seemed to be under the mistaken impression that OK3 was not the latest firmware for this phone - they claimed that OC3 was the latest, even though that was a year and a half older. Does anyone know who I should contact instead of Samsung if they are not able to provide the source code?

Hello guys...
I am waiting for the Lollipop update on my galaxy S5 for months now and till date nothing has happened. Above all there's only about 10 variants of the SM-G900F which are actually in this situation actually out of 100s. I decided to flash it on my own using ODIN. Please can anyone who is more at ease with the process than me give me the procedure to do so ( I have flashed custom roms on other phones in the past).
I would also appreciate if you could give me a direct download link for the OS if ever you have it. I had seen them in this forum once but forgot where and which keywords to type.
And also and most importantly could you advise me about which versions will be compatible with my country's networks i.e Mauritius.
My phone's details are :
Model SM-G900F
Model name GALAXY S5
Country Unknown
Version Android 4.4.2
Changelist 1539356
Build date Thu, 08 May 2014 03:44:41 +0000

It's true. If you have a UK GT-N7105 on EE then there was a new official KitKat firmware released by Samsung and EE. It is described as a "Stability update". The PDA Version is N7105XXSFQA2. I notice the same updated version is also available for other regions, see samdown.com/samsung/GT-N7105
I recently reset my Note II from lineageos to stock and I received the update OTA. I used some vulnerability scanners and can confirm that this KitKat version is not vulnerable to Stagefright, Openssl Heartbleed, FakeID or Masterkey bugs. The kernel is updated and SE Linux policies are updated too. As far as I can tell there are no new features and the firmware image still contains obsolete and unusable apps such as Reader Hub, Music Hub and so on.

I'm from Europe/Romania and using Orange carrier. I bought it from someone who said the phone is from the UK which is true.
I did a factory restore when I got it and the phone is not rooted and unlocked.
Should I flash a new version? If so which one? I've never done this before so I'm really cautious.
same here i live in algeria can't receive oreo update , i'm thinking of flashing my s8 to the french firmware but i'm scared of breaking it
The samsungmobile.com link shows OTA availability for a CSC of DBT, which is German according to other XDA threads, not Romanian. Update availability is based on CSC, are you sure that your CSC is DBT?
I have the same issue .. please can anybody assist
I would try updating manualy to Oreo latest and then updating it to PIE
Just update from odin with home_csc to keep the data. But if you update from 7.0 to another android version, i recomend a clean install.

I sent a request for twrp but no reply as yet.
Hi All, I just purchased the Samsung A20 205G and would like to know if there is a way to change the firmware to A205U (T-mobile). I have downloaded the A205U firmware and used Odin3.1.3 to upgrade the firmware but it kept on failing. The message I got is: Custom Bindary Blocked by OEM lock. I am not sure what is going on. Could someone please give me some information on how to upgrade the firmware?
Thanks,
DT

I have a Samsung Galaxy S5 unlocked AT&T. Provider is Straighttalk. Owned this phone for years. The Android system has not updated beyond ver. 5.0 (not even 5.0.1). Here are numbers that may help provide a solution.
Ver. 5.0
Baseband ver. G900AUCU4BOF2
Kernel ver. 3.4.0-4432708
Please tell me how to get the phone to update to the most recent version.
Thanks, thelonius

All Samsung phones get major os updates for about 2 year's so the S 5 ,depending on carrier, country and if it's European, Asian, African or American, can be stuck from android 5 to 6.
See sammobile and search for your model and carrier (if not unlocked) what's the lastest firmware available.
If there's a more recent firmware available and you don't have OTA notifications or OTA dosen't give you it after tying a manual update, try to update with samsung kies installed on a pc.
If even this dosen't work, download ,from sammobile, the lastest odin (it's under your firmware) and install it on your pc. Then download the last firmware for your model (always from sammibile) and install it with Odin. On sammobile, under your firmware, there's the explanations for how to do it.
