Hi,
I foolishly purchased the SMP900 (WiFi), only to now find out that Samsung UK feel it's acceptable to leave it on KitKat 4.4.
In light of the fact that it won't be getting Lollipop or Marshmallow, I was hoping to update the firmware myself with a compatible official rom.
Can anyone advise me how I can do this? Can i download a Samsung release and install it? I am not interesting in rooting it or installing a custom rom, mainly because this seems more complicated and I have no experience of doing this.
If anyone can point me in the right direction I'd be very grateful.
Thanks

Hi Q,
Is it confirmed that the UK will not receive the Lollipop update? I was under the impression it's still coming through. I have been toying with the idea of flashing mine with another European firmware but held off hoping they would release for the UK, if this isn't the case I will flash shortly.
Si.
If you guys are talking about the 5.1.1 stock update to lollipop for 12.2 tab pro(SM-T900), It's already been released check out sammobile for your corresponding firmware update http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/
(SM-P900)is the note pro 12.2 also 5.0.2 i believe was released for that if you guys are talking about the note pro, the us cellular south should work for uk.

Hey Guys, there is something I've never been clear about. My Note 2 is an international unlocked version. I'm using it on T-Mobile, will I be able to get the latest OS from T-mobile for my International version? Or, do I need to go to a Samsung website?
I always check the updates and it says I'm up to date, but I really would like 4.2 for mirror display capability. How do people get the latest OS? Like Kit Kat? Do you have to wait for t-mobile? Can you get it else where?
Please advise, thanks!

I think the latest update is on 4.3 because Samsung skipped the 4.2 update due to too many bugs report, and rumors about 4.4 is coming out late March. You can use Odin to update your device to 4.3 or you can go to the international Note 2 and get some custom roms that runs 4.4 kit kat

Latest version is indeed 4.3, rumors of the Tmobile note 4.4 update has been pushed back to April/May, most likely in between then. You can find many stock roms on this site, check out the android develepment section of the forum, you can even find some 4.4 roms if you'd like. Good luck!
Hi all, would anyone happen to know the eta on the kitkat update for the WiFi version of the galaxy note 8 in Australia? Mine is unbranded and purchased from Harvey Norman.
Did you check SamMobile? - I know the 5120 came out a few weeks ago.

Australia is usually left behind, and sometime wont ever see an update. Just Flash another regions firmware onto your device its simple, easy and painless.
I usually use the UK version:
http://samsung-updates.com/region/?region=BTU
I have flashed mine with Cyanogenmod , its now running 4.4.4 love it. I recommend if you going to upgrade to CyanogenMod is to install CWM, just incase something goes wrong.
Cyanogenmod: https://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=n5110
CWM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2201860
But i have also flashed prior to using CyanogenMod - the UK Version Firmware for Note 8 - did the Kitkat, did it to my Note 8 and also Samsung S4.
Simple really, download Odin flash it with the new firmware

I dont think official lollipop is /will be available for any of the galaxy s4 mini models. I would advise you to go to sammobile.com and look for the latest firmware for your device(Region specific) and download it. It will be the latest one and it will also serve as a backup official firmware. There after you can root your device(or do any other experiments for that matter), if something goes wrong there is a backup to fall back on.

Im looking for the same. The stock ROMs for this model are not in any site. I was looking in sammobile and others like that and no one has a single stock ROM
anyone please that has one Stock Android Marshmallow ROM for this model?
All others Note Edge versions are easily to find the stock ROMs: KitKat 4.4.4, Lollipop 5.0.1/5.1.1 and Marshamallow 6.0.1 except the AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note Edge N915A
Anyone knows something, we will thank you a lot

we 're on the same boat my friend
6.0.1 when?
Awful quiet around here guess everyone bought the tab s6!
I noticed an update available this August 2019. Has anyone flashed their tab s4 with Odin? And then rooted once again? I'm using a t835n and plan to get the t835 international version. But I want to be sure I can root after.
Another question - on sammobile they have so many different country options for the t835 international model. What is the actual difference? I use my device in USA so what would be the best version to flash so that I have the most bands for my carrier (TMobile). Or does flashing firmware not have the effect I am thinking on bands?
Thanks!

That's a very good question.
Are you on Oreo or Pie?
My guess, based on the rooting guides I've been reading is the one for the country that you bought the device from. I think you are on the Korean version, so I would think that would be the ideal update to use on the device and then just use it in English.
As for the S6, I'm inclined to buy another (3rd) S4 because the lack of the headphone jack is intolerable for me.
I will ask in the Note 9 forum, but do you happen to know the international version of the Note 9 that is the equivalent of the Korean 6GB Tab S4? They dropped the headphone jack on that one too. I use it to get radio on my phone.
So I rooted the Korean 6GB versions that was factory shipped with the most recent and up to date Oreo firmware and it rooted just fine. I'm missing a few apps but I'm not sure why that is (weird like missing email, internet, calculator, some google crap...). I'm trying to figure out why, but I NEVER let it connect to the internet for any reason yet. I sideloaded some of the apps and it seems fine. I'm going to check with my other Tab S4 6GB that is on the original stock firmware from the beginning to see if those apps were ever there in the first place tonight and post in the TWRP thread.
Root is fine. So I think you will be fine with the most recent firmware for Oreo. I suggest getting the Korean (region specific) firmware for your specific device.

It took me a little googling but it did turn up. Sammobile site didn't fine it for me, I had to google to get it, even thought it was still the samobile site where I found it. I didn't download any successfully yet.
