[Q] Galaxy grand Flashing advice - Galaxy Grand Duos i9082 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin

Hi everyone, I have a Galaxy Grand that I flashed using the Russian version of the firmware, and now that the official Indian version has been released, I want to use that version. Importantly , I want to fix the contact bug, where if you search for a contact and when you tap on it, the next contact is selected.
So what is the procedure I need to follow to install the latest official Indian Firmware and links if any.
There has been too many firmware release which is causing confusion for me.
Other queries, mostly secondary:
1. Is there a linux version of Odin, or any other flashing device that can be used in Linux
2. Is there a working kernel that supports USB-OTG or USB-Host.
Thanks in advance

AFAIK, Odin does not work in Linux (Yeah I know its strange considering Android is based on Linux !). You could attempt it in VM probably. Heimdall runs in Linux but I dont know if it is compatible with Grand Duos.
There is no kernel which enables USB-OTG / USB Host mode in Grand. Might require hardware modifications.
I dont think I need to tell you about flashing. Pick any firmware of your choice and flash through Odin !

search sammobile site
As said ODIN works only in windows.
try with a VM if needed...
For the latest firmware for your country,search the sammobile.com site,they ll provide the latest firmware details and file to download.....

Well, If there's no kernel that can enable OTG, I don't think there is any incentive in updating the software.
I last update on 13th June 2013. Is it worth updating now? I mean has the firmware improved?

update by country?!

Hey Guys
I'm a Newbie in Android stuff
I've Got a Note 10.1 2014 edition today and I was under the impression that the KK 4.4.2 update has been rolled out for it. read about it and watched a couple of KK video reviews. but now I see that it was P605 the LTE version!
unfortunately I bought the 3G version SM-P601 with the Baseband version of : P601XXUBMJ8 supposed to be for UAE I guess! not sure...
I checked in the firmware section in samsung website and saw that for some P601 devices like Indian versions, the 4.4.2 update is out!
is it possible for me to get those on my device without having to root?! and if yes, how?!
tnx in advance
Did you try the ota update check on your tablet? What does it say? I had to run the update from my pc. You can try that too. If both oc this fails you can update via odin if you can get your hands on the update file ... Usually a zip file.

yea, I checked on both PC an Tablet updates both said the firmware is up to date!
I can download the zip file for other basebands, but I'm afraid flashing that would cause problems...
anyone can guide me what to do?
and this is from samsung firmware website
I Guess I can download Indian or Chinese 4.4.2 but can I have it on my tab with odin with no problem?
Ok! I can't post the image!

Latest stock ROM for 10.1 Inch P5210?

Hi guys,
I'm wondering if anyone can kindly let me know what the latest stock ROM version and build number is for the 10.1 inch version P5210? I wanted to know if there is any update - I'm rooted so can't OTA any more and Samsung Kies does not install on my Windows 10 so no way to check updates.
Mine is currently at 4.4.2, with build number KOT49H.P5210XXUBNK2.

A quick look @ Sammobile will help you : http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/GT-P5210/
If you need the OH1, i can upload the Rom to Mega or send it by WeTranfer.

Thank you very much for pointing me in the right direction.
Is the OH1 version better/newer than mine? It seems to be for Netherlands and I'm not sure if I can install that.

Hi, it's a bitter newer version but still 4.4.2 (for different countries, that's not a problem). No need to install this one if ur still running on 4.4.2.
If ur into Custom Roms, check the forum, 5.5.1 Lollipop is availible for the 5210 and a new Marshmallow (Android 6.0.1) is availible for the 5210 (this one I flashed today, it's like having a new tablet, running very smooth and fast).

Sm-n7505 firware upgrade failing.

Hey guys i am wanting to use the cosmic rom although it requires me to update to lollipop firmware I have tried many n7505 firmwares from german to itilian to russian non seem to work the guides on yt fail to help me.
when using odin i select the ap option then load my firmware version for lolipop and it takes ages setting up connection then can't open com port then fail.
I am using the 4.3 firmware that only seems to work on my phone.
any advised would be great as i kinda wanna use the custom rom only reason i can't is due to needing lollipop to enable the simcard on the rom
Try to upgrade to kitkat 4.4.2 and than to lollipop

N910FXXS1DQC3 Firmware

So i saw that samsung is releasing a firmware update for the Note 4 to N910FXXS1DQC3 which is 6.0.1 European firmware, more info here https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-N910F/ , my wonder was with the 150 or so security patches in this update. Im running EmotionOS which has its own firmware requirements so i cant just change firmwares but some of the files should be useful somehow right?
If you're on an old firmware -it is probably worth updating - It is quite good for a stock rom. I'm using it myself.
