I'm struggling with getting my Canadian T805W upgraded to Marshmallow. Everything I try fails. I was running Phoenix Rom, but reverted back to stock Lollipop in the hopes that would help. It didn't.
Some things I've tried:
Latest T805 MM ROM from https://forum.xda-developers.com/ga...ficial-firmware-selection-sm-t700-sm-t2960225 - "Re-Partition operation failed."
Bootloaders:
T805XXU1CPI3 and T805XXU1CPJ1 using Odin 3.1.23 and Odin 1.85 - Both hang on "Get PIT for mapping..." and eventually fail.
Modem:
T805XXU1CPH6 - same as above
Has anyone out there had any luck with upgrading a Canadian T805W to MM? Any help at all would be much appreciated!
Thanks!
The T805W requires a specific firmware for your region. Download the correct firmware for your device.
Well, since there's never been a MM release in this region, I guess I'm screwed.
Thanks for the reply, much appreciated!

Maybe not.
Do you have root?
Luckily for you Samsung did not upgrade the bootloader, so the Lollipop bootloader is compatible with Marshmallow.
To update you should be able to flash the firmware with FLASHFIRE. Flashfire won't flash the bootloader, but you should be able to update the rest of the firmware.
I would also maybe suggest not updating the modem either for compatibility sake.
Download a suitable stock MM firmware and flash with FLASHFIRE.
What is your actual region and carrier as there are actually several SM-T805W firmwares available?
Yes, rooted and has the latest TWRP installed.
That's fantastic news about the bootloader compatibility!
Region is Canada and the original carrier is Rogers. It's sim unlocked, but I'm not using LTE with my current provider.
Thanks so much for your help!

Here you go, Marshmallow firmware for Rogers.

Thanks, that's what I had installed. It's incorrectly named, it's not MM, just the latest LP
But the good news is that my tablet is now on a Nougat ROM and everything is running great!

Nougat?
Now that I know that the 5.X bootloader would work with 6.X, I took the chance that it would work with 7.X. I have Resurrection Remix (7.1.2) installed now and it is running great.

Guys
My mobile model is SM-N750 (Indian edition).
I have successfully flashed stock firmware thru ODIN earlier. Recently I changed my firmware to Pakistan from Sammobile.
Now I like to go back to Indian firmware, however it is failing again & again. I am though successfully able to flash Pakistan firmware again.
Phone is working properly but cant go back to Indian firmware.
Please check.
I know how to flash in ODIN. This is something diff.
1- Try another source of odin, same version but another source
2- Try flashing the firmware more than once, it will work in one of them
3- Try different firmware and see if it worker, then the problem is with the firmware
4- Make sure the files are for your mobile version
Thanks for your reply.
I have tried 3 firmware files. No luck.
I think I guess what is the issue. Pak firmware version is higher than Indian firmware version. So the bootloader has been changed. That is the reason it is not allowing to install a lower bootloader firmware.
I hope once sammobile will have KK firmware downloadable I would be able to flash that.
I am successfully able to flash Indian Kitkat ROM from Sammobile.
So the point to be noted...You can not go back to old firmware once you upgraded to new one.

That did not work. I have tried that earlier. It was older that PAK firmware...
Now I am successfully flashed Kitkat.
I have the Sm-t800 (wifi) Tab s 10.5 and want to update it but I've been out of the game for a while.
I am currently running 4.4.2 IronRom v1.9.7 t800.. so you know its been a minute since I updated. I am kinda in a bind on how to flash the latest stock firmware (what are we actually on now) and to stick with stock or something AOSP. I literally use the device 99% to watch local storage movies or Netflix so that is what i need functional.
Thanks for the help in advance.
I flashed from a rooted stock kitkat to the latest stock lollipop using odin, getting ready for MM if we ever get it.
I get my stock firmware from SamMobile it downloads fast enough for me, you need to register.
http://updato.com/how-to/how-to-install-an-official-samsung-stock-firmware-using-odin
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/
EDIT: A couple of questions if anybody can help
1: I flashed from stock lollipop back to stock kitkat using odin, my T800 was stuck on the Samsung logo and would not go past it, I booted to recovery and flashed lollipop and everything was fine and my T800 booted and setup fine.
2: How can i force a power-down from the Samsung logo, all i can do is reboot or get into recovery, I have done this before but i cannot remember the buttons to hold.

Thanks for the info.. I found the sammobile site but I was confused on which firmware (country mainly) to use since there wasn't specifically a US file. I was thinking "cellular south"?
I am using an Wifi only 10.5" so my firmware choice is easy.
It might be an idea to install TWRP first so you can backup your current rom in case you have a problem.

Your right, where are the USA roms? I downloaded the UK v5.0.2 lollipop from the link below.
Hopefully somebody can point you to the correct US rom, you need a different rom for exynos vs snapdragon cpu, though i think only the cell version has the snapdragon.
When i flash the stock lollipop, TWRP was gone and ROOT as well, ready for MM.

Also, will flashing this stock firmware allow for any ota to come through?
(although crossing fingers for any future update)
Well I flashed the stock UK lollipop v5.0.2 from SamMobile and i got an small fix firmware update from Samsung so updates are working for me, so i expect if you flash your correct firmware for your tab you will get them too.

Yes to both questions. As long you're 100% stock, you'll be able to received OTA updates.

I have updated the phone to Jasmine 6.0.1 with CPD1 firmware. I see threads on updating to CPJ1 firmware, but the file is named DevEd. Am I wrong to assume that this DevEd firmware will cause issues on my RetEd device?

Since you're running JasmineROM, I'm assuming that you're rooted. When you rooted your Note 4, you basically converted it from retail to Dev. If you want to update to CPJ2, just flash the partial firmware provided here, and that should do it.

Yes. It is rooted and is unlocked. I just remember in the past how there were recommendations out there not to put Dev stuff on RetEd models. Thanks!
I took the leap. Looks like it is working ok... other than that same power bug.
After using couple of ROMs i decided to go back to the factory version. I flashed 2.0.093 everything is working fine but not getting the latest OTA update that updates to Android 7. The update app says "no updates available". Is there a workaround to get the update? I was thinking of flashing manually but i couldn't find the latest ZUI firmware file.
Please Help.

OP I flashed ZUI a week ago and got the OTA right away after boot. That means the OTAs out in the air.
I'm using an ATT carrier unlocked S20+ on the Verizon network. I keep checking for an OTA update but nothing has come through. This is my first carrier unlocked phone so I'm not sure how I'd get updates or where they would come from. I've included some screen shots.
Would I be able to flash the new firmware through Odin if I cant get OTAs? If so, which firmware would I use? Verizon, ATT?
Thanks in advance for any help.
Did you flash 2.5 manually, or was it OTA? If it was OTA, you could just wait for ATT to release Android 11 for your device.
Either way, you could flash any G986U ROM. Any of these should work: https://samfw.com/firmware/SM-G986U

I didn't flash anything. I bought it like this used. So I'd have to flash an ATT rom then. Would the phone receive an OTA update if ATT puts out an update even though I'm on Verizon network with a Verizon sim? Thanks for the info.

If you're an VZW I'd opt for a VZW ROM. https://samfw.com/firmware/SM-G986U1/VZW/G986U1UEU1CTKJ

Ok so I've downloaded the file and got Odin. I'm planning on flashing this weekend. The only question I have is my phone is not rooted. Is that going to be a problem. It's been a while since I've customize my phone. I think the last one I rooted and flashed roms to was my S4. Thanks again for the info.

Don't worry. Flashing via Odin won't trigger knox status. Just remember to select HOME_CSC before you start flashing if you want to keep all your apps and data

Nah you're good. If you had root you'd lose it anyway, so you're good to go. Good luck!
you will only get ota on a att phone if you have a att sim card your best bet would be to flash the u1 firmware

i have a regular factory unlocked S20 (u.s. variant). can i make an image backup of my current phone and if need be revert back from Android 11 to Android 10 with the backed up image?
Thanks for all the info! I flashed the VZW version seamlessly. I used the patched Odin with no issues.
Now will I be able to receive any OTA updates or will I need to continue to flash new updates from now on?
Thanks again!
