That appears to be the most recently released firmware available on sammobile.com.
Samsung hasn't released anything for this phone since kitkat.

Thanks and it's true it's the last official release. I've read about some custom roms that are available for the ATT version of the I747 that upgrade it to various versions of Android. Was wondering if any would run on the Bell Canada I747 or if they would brick the phone.

Any custom roms for the i747 will run the same on the i7474m. No bricking from incompatibility issues. YMMV on what works and what doesn't. For the most part I've found the custom roms past kitkat to be pretty solid, but I've had front facing camera and speakerphone noise cancelling problems.
Just avoid roms for the i9300 exynos versions of the S3.

Thanks again for your time and advice, the old phone is rocking Resurrection Remix 5.8.3. (Android 7.1.2)
Filename I used is RR-N-v5.8.3-20170504-d2att-Weekly.zip
Update:...no noticeable issues so far. Phone is faster and more responsive than the old Android 4.4.2.

Well we have two kitkat roms but both of them are still in alpha and beta stages so they aren't perfect. If your afraid that you might brick i would say just read up.

i747 Roms (att) also works on rogers i747M

The 4.4 ROM (CM11) released by jermaine151 is quite solid.
Hi! So, I bought this tablet a couple of weeks ago from one of the biggest electronics sellers in my country (SCAN Malta), and I haven't been able to update to the latest firmware (4.4 Kitkat, currently I'm on 4.3 JB). I tried to do this both OTA and through Kies, however I cannot seem to find information anywhere if there are some specific region models who have not received this update yet.
My tablet is an SM-P605 LTE edition (16gb) Wifi. My second question concerns the fact that I cannot seem to record videos at 60fps I am sure that I didn't get a counterfeit, but is there a way to check the genuinity of my purchase?
Hi there
What is the exact rom that it is currently on? What rom have you downloaded and tried to flash? You need to specify further details.

Thanks for the reply. I did not download any roms, I am trying to update normally without rooting and it's telling me that the latest updates/firmware has already been installed. As far as I'm aware kitkat is already out for this device through normal firmware updates.
My baseband version is P605xxubmj4

I can't get 60FPS either even after the KK update. Either it's not enabled in the ROM or it just doesn't exist on the P605.
If it's running 4.3 and you are awaiting 4.4.2 then you just have to wait until the rom is released in your country of residence. KK has not yet been released globally, peple such as myself have flashed the rom to have the latest OS.

Just bought this thing hoping I could put a custom rom on it came with 442 and I wish it was an older firmware so I can use a custom recovery for a new rom. Pissed...I would be happy with 4.3 custom rom...
Hi, i can see on sammobile.com that there is a stock rom with android 4.4.2 out to the p5210 device. But only on canadian devices. Will there be any problems if i flash that rom on my p5210 nordic countries tablet?

I would wait a bit as this ROM seems to be quite similar to the 4.2.2 except for the keybaord.

I installed the rom 1 hour ago, and it works perfectly There are noticable changes. The UI seems cleaner and it is much faster and smooth.
Colleagues,
I have an SGH-i317 AT&T Galaxy Note II. It is rooted, has TWRP 2.8.1.0 and SuperSU 2.46 and TitaniumBackup all of which work just fine. I used Odin 3.10. I'm about to flash custom ROMSs CM10.2 and CM11. I have a couple things I don't quite understand before I flash. Hopefully someone can help. In the past, AT&T forced OTA upgrades so I'm at runnign rooted 4.4.2. (Specifics on my firmware are below.)
1. I know Android has broken a third party app's ability to save files to the external SIM. Is this problem inherent ONLY to vendor 4.4.2 builds like AT&T's, or does CM and other custom ROMS that are based upon 4.3 and 4.4 suffer from the same dumb limitation?
2. I've read online that the boot loader software became vendor-signed-package aware and is now a "locked" bootloader. AT&T forced my perfectly good 4.1.2 to go to 4.3 and consequently to 4.4.2. Is it not possible to actually replace that bootloader? If not, why not? Is that not possible at this time?
3. I noticed that for my SGHi317 that there is no such thing a an t0lteatt anymore for CM11 since they have merged their development branches. So will the latest t0lte work for SGH-i317? Do I need to do anything special other that flash it and the correct gapps to the phone?
Thanks for the help!

Hi guys, I have Galaxy Note 10.1 SM-P605. My one is most likely a Malaysian variant. Baseband version: P605XXUCOE1. I still haven't got the lollipop update on this variant. Now kinda planning to flash it with the Finland version. So I have some questions here before I do...
1. Will there be any sort of problem because of different baseband/ region?
2. Will I have to face any issue with knox or official OTA updates in future?
Thanks in advance.= :fingers-crossed:
I can only answer half of your questions, as my device is rooted, so i don't get official updates anyway. Flashing a different region firmware never caused me any troubles, not on my 10.1, or my Galaxy Note4, so it won't affect the functionality of your device.
As for Knox, it will trip Knox as you are flashing a kernel not for the same region...
It may just bootloop. Make sure you have a stock rom to go back to, mind you this may not work if the bootloader is upgraded to a newer version, say KK to L or L to MM....

Glad to know man, btw I am having only 1 problem that is it's not showing my operator's name on lock screen or in connection settings, instead it's showing the 5 digit number code of my operator. Thats not a major issue I guess, must be some conflict with regions.
