I live in the UK and want to manually update to Lollipop as I have no idea when we will receive the update from Samsung. i have downloaded the french zip as I think there are no issues using this as the SM-T800 is Wifi only. I am trying to use Jodin3.casual but when I plug in the tab it does not connect. Does anyone have any idea what I am doing wrong? For info I am not rooted.

You need to install the Samsung usb drivers first then boot into download mode.
Thanks for the response. Where do you get those from as I have been to Samsungs site and can only see the drivers for windows

Earlier today, i was going to install drivers for chainfire3D on my 4.1.2 stock rom on my N7100 international.
After the drivers installed my phone got stuck in the welcome screen (the first one that shows up after starting the phone).
It should be said that I'm pretty new to rooting, flashing, etc. But of course I wouldn't let that, or any number of warning messages during the installation stop me.
So my question is, how do I do (if possible) a full factory reset? I can't get the phone connected via Kies, naturally, and I can't find a firmware file for my region (Norway).
If I could find a firmware file for my region, could I just install it via Odin? If so, where can I find one? Closest I've come is a Greece firmware on samsung-updates.com

Finally got it running again after flashing original rom!
Thank you gee2012 for the info. This was a load off my chest!
Hi, I am new to all this updating etc, so i have a few humble questions, and hope some of you more familiar with the process could guide in the right direction.
My device is stock with 4.1.2 firmware XXBMC8/XXBMD1
1: My N5100 is India Version so would the German Update / release that is available on sammobile online work on mine.
2: What precautions etc do i have to take on my device if any. When I bought my Note 8 there was an OTA update which ran fine
and gave no issues or data loss.
3. Do I Have to take backups of my apps and have to re-install them ?
4. Any other tips / precautions i am missing.
sorry if am sounding bit paranoid.
Thanks!

1. Yes the German version should work fine for you.
2. I just did a Titanium backup of my apps "in case" there was a wipe before I flashed the update. I have a South African 32GB N5100 the update worked perfectly. However you may not receive future OTA updates due to the ROM being for a different region.
3. Always a good idea.
4. The first time is always the worst, once you see how it is done you may not be able to stop though.

Thanks a lot,
Bit the bullet and went with the update.
Everything went smooth.
only Minor issue I see is that, Kies does not recognize the firmware.
All apps and data seem to be as they were , though I took app backups to pc via helium as well as synced kies prior update in case anything went awry.
Now to find out what's new addition to 4.2.2 other than few things pretty obvious
Thanks again.

I used the Odin3-v1.85 file included in the CF-Auto-Root to flash the image.

The 4.2.2 file is downloading as a zip. So how are you getting a Tar file?

Thanks. I figured it out....LOL
Hopefully this hasn't already been answered somewhere but I've looked all day and can't find anything. I bought my Z1 compact from Clove and am using it on T-Mobile's network in the US (Utah). Will I ever get an OTA update allowing me to install the new KitKat firmware or is my only option to download it from here and figure out how to use the flashtool and all of that? I haven't done anything to modify it except changing the APN so my MMS messages would work. If my only option is downloading and using the flashtool etc can someone direct me to the minimum changes necessary in order to upgrade to KitKat?
Thanks

Google "PC Companion" and install it. Launch it, then plug your phone in. It will detect phone and should allow you to install update.
I'm on Telus in Canada and no OTA update came, so I did the PC Companion root.

Download one of the ftf at xda and flash with flashtool. (Plenty of guides) That is if you can't wait a week orso for it to land your region
Hey everyone, I'm wondering if there is a way to restore my tablet so that I can get OTA updates again. I have rooted it and I'm wondering if I download the firmware from Sammobile, and load it into the tablet via Odin, will I be able to get updates?
yes. but you can also download the newest official firmware at sammobile. who need OTA anyway...

OP...I checked the SAMMOBILE site and did not see a US version for the firmware. BTW...could you point me in the right direction as to "how to" do the root on my Galaxy Tab S 10.5 SM-T800NTSSXAR.
Thanks, John
Thank you so much for your answer. Much appreciated! I believe I used Chainfire's root method which can be downloaded from his site. When I'm back from my vacation I'll send you the complete instructions!

Have you found the US firmware? I'm looking for the US version of the t700 firmware and can't find it.
I always use the "firmware upgrade and initialisation" setting under the "tools" tab in Kies. Just plug your tab into your PC click on the button and let it do it's magic. It's never failed for me and saves accidentally flashing the wrong firmware.
Hi all.
I bought a used LG G3, where the guy said this phone had been used to pass around reviewers, so I don't know if this has any factor as to why I'm having issues.
So, issue is, I'm on 4.4.2 atm, and want to upgrade to at least 5, and possibly 6 if this is possible (which it seems to be from what I've seen around the web.) I tried to do it via the phone first, through the built-in update center (current version is V10g-EUR-XX) It sees there is an update for the phone, which I then select to download and install. It then tells me it will download it, and shows the object under my notifications. But then it simply says Cannot download, and just stalls at this point. I've tried both options with wifi only, and over 2g/3g as well.
(At this point I added some screenshots I took, but can't add them, as external links are not allowed for the first 10 posts)
I then tried to go through the LG PC suite, installed the USB drivers etc. When checking for updates, it simply says "Cannot Proceed Upgrade. LG PC Suite upgrades unavailable on this phone."
Where do I go from here? Can I manually update it through the flashtool 2014, or am I looking at rooting this phone, to get be able to upgrade it?
In advance, thank you for your help.
Best Regards,
Dozer.

Can I upgrade directly from 4.4.2 to 6.0? When I was searching the net, I found a website that said I needed to have updated to latest lollipop, before going to marshmellow.
