Chinese Galaxy Y, how do I change the operating system?

Hi everyone,
Have just purchased a new Galaxy Y here in China and restored to original factory settings however everything is in Chinese which isn't a problem as I can change the language to English however all the default Google Apps are missing and replaced with Chinese equivalents it seems so I'm unable to use them.
So... how can I restore it to a version of Android something functional for me? I'm on mac os x lion with vmware for any windows apps I need and am computer literate enough to attempt anything like flashing a device / updating a rom but have no idea where to start with this. Have read some docs on Odin but they made little sense at first because I don't quite know what steps I need to take in order to carry out this task. I've found various Roms but these are India, Netherlands, Greece versions, does anyone know of a UK version?
Any pointers would help greatly, thanks in advance!
Update: Just came across http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1465800 so am reading through here however I'm not sure which ROM to go for, the European pack work with sim cards in Asia?

first thing that the initial setup offers after full reset, is to change the language. It's the button on the the right hand side of the screen. if you press the green android, it's too late. then you must navigate to language setup by memory.

I've changed the language but it's a custom Chinese rom as China bans everything google so I need to get it on a normal UK Android setup or something, maybe the European pack from the aforementioned link?
Current versions as follows:
PDA: S5360ZCKK2
PHONE: S5360ZCKK2
CSC: S5360ZHKK2

Thank you for this, am just looking at Docky's stock roms now. Seems like the phone isn't locked to any specific network as accepts both Hong Kong and UK sim cards at the moment. I'm a little confused about setting the CSC and provider/region stuff after flashing it, basically I'm in Asia for the next 10 months and will have various sim cards from different countries and want them all to work. Possible do you think? Or will I have to flash to country specific firmware/csc relative to the sim card I'm inserting?

Well, Im in Asia country too. I tried Docky's Custom ROM which is based on XX which is European firmware and my phone works together with the SIM provider and network. So, the CSC is basically the language supported by your phone (based on my experience). Thus, Im sure you can use European firmware when you are in Asia country

Small world hehe I'm currently downloading S5360_XXLA2_OXXLA2_XXLA2_by_Doky.zip which seems to be the latest european multilingual build so hopefully that will do the trick. I'll let you know how I get on, thanks for the tips.

Cool. Cant wait to hear from you soon. Good luck

I think the simpliest way to solve this is to update its firmware via samsung kies, besides its the official update you can get and you'll be sure it'll be safe. Ive updated mine through this method and havent tried the ODIN thing. Good luck though

Hi,
I really appreciate all the posting which is done on this site, and it has helped me many times (as I often act as the 'family' technician who can fix things).
But this time, I inherited a bricked Vietnamese Galaxy Young. The issue I have is that event though I installed ODIN in its most recent release, the phone in DOWNLOAD mode is not recognized on the 2 computers I usually use on other Samsung phones.
Is there an Asian-specific driver which needs to be used?
Alas, the phone was backed up using the CWM backup, but it refuses to boot into CWM (just hangs at logo). The only mode it boots into is Downlaod mode. But it need to be recognized correctly before Odin can do anything
Thanks for suggestions

make sure samsung usb drivers are installed - use rear usb ports not front ones and you can try a different usb cable (there is no specific regional driver just a generic samsung usb driver)
once in download mode connect usb cable to pc
push vol up on phone to start connection (wait a 30 secs in case drivers start installing)
open odin 3.07
if it is connected it will say com then a number in a coloured box under com:id on the left hand side

[Q] Multiview firmware update problem

Hi guys.
I have just received my new Galaxy Note II. Live in Denmark, and on the box it says "approved for nordic operators".
I don't have the multiview function. Holding the back arrow doesn't activate anything, and there is no menu option I haven't turned on, as far as I see.
I heard this was a problem with European models, but I also read that Samsung had issued an update to fix it.
According to the phone, I have the newest software version.
I tried to upgrade firmware via Kies. Updated Kies. Tried both on my PC and Mac. The only message I get is that my device does not support firmware update via Kies. Very annoying.
I made some search on the net, I even tried Kies mini, but without effect.
Does anyone have an idea about what I should try?
I post a screenshot of my system information.
Thanks a lot. Take care.
Agoston

Not exactly sure how to help you but I'm sure it's probably that the update isn't available in your region. I could be wrong but the only way I know of at this point in time to fix this is to root and manually download and apply the update.

The update has been available in Spain just today. They are releasing it in different countries at different times, maybe to avoid problems with their servers.
Just wait a couple of days more.

I was thinking about:
1. downloading the update from here:
http://samsung-updates.com/device/?id=GT-N7100
2. and following these directions:
http://www.todroid.com/update-samsu...elly-bean-firmware-xxalj1-multi-view-feature/
Do you think this can hurt/brick the phone or cause problems?
Thanks,

Hmm, does this mean it worked for you? Did you actually follow those links? Which update version did you choose? Which country do you live in?

I had the same problem, just flashed a uk rom.

I contacted Samsung. They told me that the update would arrive in about 2-3 weeks.

GT-N7100 Android 4.1.2 problem

Hi all im having a problem with my factory unlocked n7100 i have downloaded the latest united kingdom 4.1.2 from the firmware section and flashed the 3 pda/csc/modem files with odin everything went fine but when the phone reboots i get two error messages (unfortunately process com.android.phone has stopped) & (unfortunately messaging has stopped) i have cleared cache and did a factory restore but the problem is still there the message app just crashes it is a fresh install no back ups and never been rooted also when i connect it to kies it says it is unable to update the version of firmware thats currently on my device i would like to use kies or OTA updates in the future any help would be much appreciated i have been searching for hours to no avail.

Try reading through Dr Kevin's threads again, just to be sure. Re-download the rom you want, from a different source and double check the MD5. Doesn't sound permanent, just a bad flash. Make sure you wipe everything again.

Thanks for the reply i re-downloaded the the same firmware again from sammobile incase somehow it became corrupted the first time with no luck same result could you point me to another sourse to download firmwares i have tried a similar firmware from another site but it on gave me the one file instead of the three which i flash with pda within odin but the problem was still there

I have tried the firmware given and several others from different sources still no luck i have noticed that all the official roms i have downloaded came as one file which i placed in pda slot on odin and flashed but the the first 4.1.2 firmware came as 3 parts pda/modem/csc it was after i flashed that rom i notced the problem with both error messages so maybe its something todo with the modem/csc files that were flashed ? I cant find another BTU firmware with 3parts to reflash i have also tried other region firmware

Once you flash the firmware, go to recovery mode and Wipe Data/Cacde... Make sure that you have backup of the phone contents.

The one file has all the other files like modem,csc in it.. This kind of error usually happens if the data is not wiped out. But as you said you have already done that several times, I don't know what might be the problem..
As you said that you are having unlocked N7100, I hope you downloaded this file http://www.hotfile.com/dl/229498497/9ffa6b9/N7100XXDME6_N7100OXXDME2_BTU.zip.html

Yes thats what i thought that all files were included in the one yes that is the exact one i have on it now i also tried it from different sources just typed *#1234# into the dialler what i have is ap: N7100XXDME6 CP:N7100XXDME4 CSC:N7100XXDME2 ? I appreciate the Help

Usually the product code is set when you Factory reset your phone in Recovery mode.. In your case it has not changed.
I checked in the Sammobile for Ireland based roms. But all seems to be carrier branded. So BTU rom should ideally work as it contains EIR CSC

Look my signature for N7100 toolbox, find PIT and download it

Flash that PIT for PIT tab of odin (selecting pit will auto select re partition optiuon, keep it selected)
Again repeat but this time along with ROM file (single file ROM also enough). Rom file for PDA and pit file for PIT
Flash and report back.

I think I bricked my Galaxy watch 42mm. Help needed!

Hello, today I've tried to downgrade my galaxy watch 42mm to an older firmware version. Odin said the install was completed but then my watch won't turn on.
I can't enter to download mode, if I try it, it will reboot to the same screen (Odin mode)
What can I do now?
The firmware watch was running before flashing was R810XXU1DSL1 I guess, and the firmware I tried to flash was R800XXU1CSE1

Update SM-R805W to anything newer than 4.0.0.0

I have a 46mm LTE R805W (Canada) version and it's still on 4.0.0.0 which seems to be the launch version. I've tried putting both Speakout and Rogers sim cards into my phone and see if software update finds anything, but it doesn't appear to. I've seen others using Canadian models get updates to 4.0.0.7 and wondering how I can do it.
On a side note, when I do the CSC change, it only shows XAC, so it looks like my firmware doesn't have multi CSC. Anyone know where to get R805W firmwares so I could manually flash them?
Thanks

Hey, sorry, didn't see your reply.

No eSim activated. I plan to use it as a BT model. I got it at a good price used, and I didn't know so much hassle with LTE versions for updating (must go through carrier, etc).
Thanks!

I know 3 ways to update...
A
FOTA aka over the air
Phone AND Watch is paired AND with this funny Samsung App...
Funny Samsung app download to Phone... tranfer to Watch... update
B
FOTA aka over the air
Watch is Standalone NOT paired with Phone...
In Settings extra menu to update
C
Leaked Firmware packages
With Tools like
Code:
netOdin over WiFi
or for repair with USB cable
Code:
Odin
--------------------------------------------
I have NO LTE device...
So I was wondering about Threads where users asks how to update... they not receive Update not with method A nor B...
This remembers me on my old Phone... GT-I9300 aka S3...
I remember I was forced to insert SIM card... otherwise FOTA App not worked...
Maybe Samsung made something similar "amazing" to LTE devices...
LTE devices have own IMEI like Phone...
LTE devices have "SIM" aka eSIM...
All I can say... latest Firmware is leaked...

Strange that it hasnt auto updated. I have the 805W as well and it updated before i hooked it up to the network. SL3 is the latest. You may have to flash via wifiOdin. Its straight forward if you can find the firmware files. LTE in canada will only work on Bell and Telus btw.

I ordered a 0.99 CAD Bell sim card to see if that's enough to trigger the update. If not, my brother can come next week with his work Bell phone and I'll pull the sim card from there and reset the phone and do an update.
I didn't realize these LTE watches are basically the same as carrier branded smartphones where the carrier completely controls the firmware rollout. If you're not on the network (Bell/Telus), you can't update at all. I'm on the OG firmware, older than a lot of those leaked firmwares.

Guys, I just googled the lastest firmware, and the first link actually lets you download it for free because it's not marked exclusive/feature:
https://support.halabtech.com/index.php?a=downloads&b=folder&id=41306
They actually host it on a google drive link. I can pm it to you or you guys can create your own account, but could you help me tell if a firmware is legit or not? Don't want to brick.
Inside the archive is the 4 files:
CP_R805WVLU1BSL3_CL1315275_QB14570749_SIGNED.TAR.ZIP
AP_R805WVLU1BSL3_USR.TAR.ZIP
BL_R805WVLU1BSL3_USR.TAR.ZIP
CSC_OYV_R805WOYV1BSL3_USR.TAR.ZIP
Thanks!

I have no access to this Link...
Can not download...
Best Regards

Those are repair firmwares. You don't want that. You want this:

From here, it seems that Odin should be able to flash the 4 files separately fine as well? Only diff seems to be that single file won't wipe data, but the 4 file repair will.
***
https://samsungfirmware.net/how-to-flash-samsung-firmware-using-odin/
From here, it seems that both combination and 4 can be used.
I haven't opened up odin wifi version to see if it's the same as the regular odin, but if it has the normal BL/AP/CP/CSC boxes, then that should be fine. As long as the firmware matches the model.

https://androidfilehost.com/?w=search&s=r805w
There is a combination file for an older one on AndroidFileHost, but it's kinda random sitting there, so I didn't want to touch it.

I was able to download... after few times of unzip... the final result looks like this:
Code:
BL_R805WVLU1BSL3_usr.tar.[B]md5[/B]
AP_R805WVLU1BSL3_usr.tar[B].md5[/B]
CP_R805WVLU1BSL3_CL1315275_QB14570749_SIGNED.tar.[B]md5[/B]
CSC_OYV_R805WOYV1BSL3_usr.tar.[B]md5[/B]
netOdin is doing selfcheck, if MD5 Hashes of tar.md5 files are correct...
I was too lazy to do this.
For me these files looks correct for SM-R805W (XAC) to flash to latest BSL3 Firmware.
Best Regards

Any files with the .md5 means they are clean/legit? Samsung hashes the files and Odin will check the md5 to ensure the files are not tampered with? That sounds good... if Odin accepts, then the files should be good.
