Model SPH-L520
Android 4.4.2
Build KOT49H.L520VPSBQA1
I tried searching but i'm just not sure about all the terminology being used on the results. I thought there might be a pinned thread but i did not see one. I'd like to update the OS on my Samsung S4 mini. I have not done any back-end work on any phone so i'm not sure how all this works. I found this site from a link from another site. Are there any beginner-noob step-by-step instructions on how to upgrade to a newer (Android 7x or +) version?
I am not sure because my device is I9192

Samsung Galaxy tab S 10.5 Verizon Help please with as root and install the new version of the android
SM-T807V
OS and firmware: 4.4.2
Description of the problem:
Hello, good people! I bought a new tablet Samsung Galaxy tab S 10.5 Verizon on Ebay. And I had a Problem I can not install the Russian language which has not been in the settings! Morelocale 2 and Language enabler does not work! Tell me please how to do the right thing. I load the screenshot ihz settings on the device.
I learned that on this forum people can hepl me with setting of Russian language it is the main my purpose! Thank you!
Efforts steps:
From other people I learned that it is necessary to put root it or install a new version of Android right which has to be with the Russian language. I liked the second idea because it is 4.4.2 and I want LOLIPOP 5.0, or at least something. And I found the information that you need to do through Odin and all that, but nowhere I could not find the firmware version for the SM-T807V.
Firstly you can't get root unless kingroot works, second you can't flash anything other than official firmware of which there isn't any for your device.
Your bootloader is locked so don't even try to flash non official firmware.
My M5 E5653 still has Android 5.0. Software update, nor Xperia companion show new updates available. Does not seem like my carrier, Vodafone Australia, will be updating it anytime soon or at all.
I am not familiar with flashing, rooting, or what a bootloader is. To make it simple, Is there a way I can upgrade from Android 5.0 to whichever is the latest available for the M5?
Of course, if there is, I understand as someone who's not familiar with this, that is it at my own risk following instructions on how to do so
if xperia companions (restore firmware) not upgrade to 5.1
then see howto flash with flashtool
Thanks. Where can find that?? Not quite sure which other thread explains that for my situation
hi, sorry bad english, i just upgraded my phone, just download latest flasthool and firmware whith xperyafirm, create bundle but say yes when it ask use FSC script, and just install normaly
Your English was fine. Thank you for that help
EDIT
Flashed and working. Thanks for the help!!
Hi I have browsed these forums for many years and they have served me well but this is my first question.
I have been given an old Samsung Galaxy Note II International Version. However the firmware is Chinese and thus has no play services. I am wondering if it is possible to switch from Chinese To English firmware and upgrade to the official Kit Kat upgrade, without rooting my device?
Here are some details of my device:
Model - GT-N7100
Android Version - 4.3
Baseband Version - N7100ZCUENB1
There may be a very short answer of "No" coming my way but I just wondered if this is indeed possible. I have the English firmware version for the N7100 already for the Android Version 4.4.2, I have experience with flashing via Odin.
Help is much appreciated.
Boot into download mode and verify the model #.
If it is a Note 2 that is made for mainland China, you may not be able to flash any English stock ROMs to the phone.
Welcome
I'm one step away from letting my friendship with samsung end ...
I bought a new or refurbished S7 active G891a and hoped it had a low android version. Unfortunately, out of the box is version 8.0 RG3.
I am looking and looking but I find a guide for root 8.0, only guides for version 7.0.
I can't downgrade with ODIN. A verification error appears.
It's a bit strange, because for G930U there is no such problem:
[Easy_Root/Unroot][Any_Oreo/Nougat_Firmware_V4_Bootloaders][Tmp_Twrp_Recovery]
When I had S5 active G870F, the whole root procedure was identical to G900F.
I also see that the G891 is similar, because it works with the custom room with G930
So can't I find the root for 8.0 or didn't it?
If you know anything about root 8.0, tell me about it.
Or maybe you know how to turn off verification so that I can try to upload SM_G930_FLAT_OREO.7z?
Hi. I just bought this phone, it came with Android 6 and I'm looking to upgrade it to android 11, but searching for the latest firmware, I only encountered "hima" , "himaul", "himauhl" or "himawl" codename devices. I even thought that my device was the "sprint" version or something (IDK, I do not live in America). But in the recovery mode the codename is "himaulatt".
Searching in another forums I realized that himaulatt was for the htc developer edition of the M9. So, anyone knows something about the firmware? I am planning to use the "developer edition firmware" but I'm not sure if my M9 is the right target...
[Solved]
Just install the Nougat Rooted Deodexed Rom (you can find it in the forum of the M9), it includes the firmware.
Hi, I just bought a copy of the same phone. Did you have a 3.x software version at the start? Could you please explain the steps you took to get to crDroid 7.12? Thanks!
