Hello,
I have Samsung Galaxy Ace 2, but still no official update yet. When i click on update it says no updates available. Why is that? I live in Lithuania.
Thanks.
There's no official JB update in Lithuania for the i8160 yet, maybe or the L version.
You can however odin-flash German (DBT) XXMF1, but you will have an European CSC.

But it is going to be right? Do i need to root before odin-flash? Current CSC is LL2 (SEB)
Flashing with Odin is harmless if done properly.
If your CSC is SEB then you have OXE multi-CSC... By installing MF1 you would get OXX multi-CSC which I don't think contains SEB CSC (neither Thailand).
You don't need root permissions to flash with Odin, you just have to boot the phone while pressing VolDown+Home+Power and enter Download Mode, load the files in Odin, connect the phone via USB (and let it install drivers from Kies, which should be already installed but not running) and press Start!
And always remember to Wipe data/factory reset from the recovery menu (VolUp+Home+Power).

So I bought the note from newegg. Turned out that it is a hongkong version. My friend got a uk version and they have additional official font styles, which are reallly nice. So my question is if i root the phone. Can i flash the uk stock room to my hongkong note 2? Also, if there is ota update for the uk version, will i be able to update ota?
In other word, Is there any way i can completely transform my hongkong note 2 to uk note 2?
1. if it's rooted, you can flash any rom you want (any rom that made for N7100 only or N7105 only... be careful, there's diff. between the 3G n LTE vers.)
2. if rooted, there will be no more OTA (even if its stock), unless you unroot it again.
3. complete transform : software-wise possible, hardwae-wise nope, there might be some parts with diff. code for diff. country
u dont need to root for just flash a official rom, just download at sammobile and flash by odin
if u just want the flip font, u dont need to root, just download the package and install the apk, then u can choose from setting, u can search in here

I got mine from the grey market and its also from hongkong since the out of the box firmware is from hongkong. You dont need to root your device to flash a stock firmware. Just make sure to flash compatible firmware. If your device is the N7100 aka the international version flash only N7100 firmwares. You can check sammobile.com and click on firmwares and, on search just type in N7100 if you have the international version and N7105 for the LTE version. After you have downloaded your desired firmware, extract the zipfile and flash it thru odin. Just find some tutorials how to flash thru odin. Trust me its a very simple process its like a 5 mins process literally. And yeah once you got your regions firmware you will be able to received OTA updates.

3 of u have provided excellent support to me. Wish I could press Thanks button 100 times.
Thank you three
I really appreciate it
Just one more clarification.
Do I need the software called Odin to flash an official UK rom, or I can just download to my pc and run it with the phone plugged in?
Also If I flashed official UK rom, I will be able to update UK OTA update right? Of course without rooting.

Yeah u need odin to flash any stock rom. also install samsung kies in your pc because you need the driver ( so that your pc will be able to recognize your phone when plug into your pc). Aftr installing samsung kies just exit it but dont uninstall. Yeah once you flash a stock rom for your region you will be able to receive OTA updatea. Try youtube there are tons of tutorial on how to flash thru odin i even started there.

I bought N7100 in China, but it does not support all google services, even I have problem to log into samsung account, can not instal another language than Chinese, Korean and English.
Originally it was in 4.1.1.
I downloaded several stock firmwares 4.1.2 from sammobile, but it does want to go with odin. (phone goes in the mode informing about unsucessfull update).
Fortunatelly I flashed it with chinese 4.1.2 firmware, but now I am again at the beginning, and what is more it shows still 4.1.1 version in settings>about.
Anyone can help what to do to change software version for my language?
(I have read a lot what I found in google, I tried several times with odin and different files for different european regions - and nothing)
The Chinese phones have a locked bootloader so I have heard. Unless you unlock it, no amount of Odin flashing will work.
Beamed from Jupiter on my Galaxy Note II
any idea how to solve this?
I saw some post about verizon note2 unblocking but I do not know if possible to follow with chinese version, and what is more it looks quite complicated..
SOLUTION:
check here
The problem with these chinese phones is the modified bootloader, so you can't install other firmwares then chinese with odin.
The solution is: flash the phone with a chinese firmware or CWM recovery
When the phone is restored you need first to root the phone via odin and then install mobile odin. With mobile odin you can install a new firmware. The thing is, mobile odin doesn't touch the bootloader so it does also work with your chinese phones.

MobileOdin - check here - but in my case, only PRO version was workable.

I succesfully rooted and installed customed firmware last year when I got my n7100 from China. I used Odin but do not remember how I did it. Then I can flash any rom. However, when I try to upgrade to 4.3 custom rom recently, almost all 4.3 romance require flashing a Wi-Fi fix by Odin. I can install most roms smoothly. But Wi-Fi won't work. And when I flash the Wi-Fi fix by Odin, always fail, no matter whose Wi-Fi fix package and which version of Odin. Not sure if this is boot loader issue, just remember I saw error message about boot loader. And usually when I flash rom, I can see "cannot find boot loader, skipped". Now I cannot use any 4.3 romance as I cannot make Wi-Fi work.

Read my quoted text again: The problem with these chinese phones is the modified bootloader, so you can't install other firmwares then chinese with odin.
Install the chinese 4.3 from sammobile and then the bootlader is up to date and ready for ROMs.
is there anyway to change chinese bootloader

You can normally flash ROMs after you installed CWM.
Oo... I would not be so sure.. I did not found a way to change Chinese bootloader. N4KA- i do not why but impossible. Possible only to change to newer on, but Cinese
ota problem when flashing thorugh mobile odin
ota problem when flashing thorugh mobile odin ,can anybody help to make system status in setting to official when installed firmware through mobile odin ??
So I have a small problem and few questions.
I've bought S4mini in Poland where i live, but with SEB (Baltic) region firmware.
when I type in phone *#1234# I get:
AP: i9195XXUAMG8
CP: i9195XXUAMG8
CSC: I91950XXAMG4
Question no. 1 - what does it mean, and shouldn't be there 3x MG8 ?
Question no. 2 - when I flash with Odin 3.09 firmware for polish region (XEO) from Samsung-Updates.com, Kies will identify my phone firmware as polish XEO , and I will be able to recieve OTA from my region and flash it normally?
Question no. 3 - on Samsung-Updates.com is big firmware file and separatly kernel file. I should flash both or the kernell is also includet in md5 firmware file? If not, haw to flash only kernel in Odin? - the same procedure as firmware?
I'm doing this, because I'm experiencing big battery drain in standby mode, and it seems like its radio related. When this won't help I'll flash CM 10.1 as my last solution.
thanks in advance
ps. this is my wifes phone, so if I broke it she will kill me

Roll back to any NEE 4.1.1 firmware. Change the csc with csc changer, triangle away if needed, flash 4.1.2, factory reset and you're back on warranty with your original csc.
It all worked out anyway.
Flashed 4.1.2
Flashed auto root
Triangle away
Changed csc to NEE
Full unroot in superSu
Factory reset
OTA and Kies success :good:
is it safe to flash csc file with newer versions of roms to have language that we need?
My A505F has official INS firmware, if I flash any other firmware like PAK firmware by selecting home csc option in odin, will my data be wiped out??
