Official JB update

Hello,
I have Samsung Galaxy Ace 2, but still no official update yet. When i click on update it says no updates available. Why is that? I live in Lithuania.
Thanks.
There's no official JB update in Lithuania for the i8160 yet, maybe or the L version.
You can however odin-flash German (DBT) XXMF1, but you will have an European CSC.

But it is going to be right? Do i need to root before odin-flash? Current CSC is LL2 (SEB)
Flashing with Odin is harmless if done properly.
If your CSC is SEB then you have OXE multi-CSC... By installing MF1 you would get OXX multi-CSC which I don't think contains SEB CSC (neither Thailand).
You don't need root permissions to flash with Odin, you just have to boot the phone while pressing VolDown+Home+Power and enter Download Mode, load the files in Odin, connect the phone via USB (and let it install drivers from Kies, which should be already installed but not running) and press Start!
And always remember to Wipe data/factory reset from the recovery menu (VolUp+Home+Power).

Roll back to any NEE 4.1.1 firmware. Change the csc with csc changer, triangle away if needed, flash 4.1.2, factory reset and you're back on warranty with your original csc.
It all worked out anyway.
Flashed 4.1.2
Flashed auto root
Triangle away
Changed csc to NEE
Full unroot in superSu
Factory reset
OTA and Kies success :good:
is it safe to flash csc file with newer versions of roms to have language that we need?

[Q] Changing ROMs, which version and when to wipe

Hi all, I'm trying to understand what do the stock firmware versions mean... I have GT-I9195 bought in Slovakia, but it has ETL (Czech) CSC. If I want KK, can I flash stock firmware with Slovakia Orange (ORS) CSC? ETL does not have KK yet according to Sammobile.
How exactly do these CSC differ?
I have found application to change CSC which says that it will wipe all data. Why?
When do I need to wipe data when flashing new ROMs and when not?
If I understand it correctly, I will need CWM backup in case the flashing fails and will use Titanium Backup to restore everything to the new ROM if
it succeeds, right? Will Titanium backup everything (SMS, data of all applications, launcher icons, ...)?
If I have phone rooted, will it stay rooted after flashing new version of stock firmware? Or do I need to flash it first and then root the phone again?

Updating to Android 10 from ODIN

My AT&T unlocked note 10+ it's not getting the ota update or any update to be honest. It says Anndroid security patch level July 1,2019. So I downloaded the XAA android 10 firmware from Sammobile and wanted to know how can I update via Odin. And if I do the update will it wipe my data or also media ? I don't want to do a reset of the phone
You can flash using Odin and HOME CSC file. This should not wipe your data. If that doesn't work, you have do with it with the Non HOME CSC file which will wipe it all.
Install Note 10 drivers. Load Odin. Load each file and click start.

Can't go back to default firmware

I flashed BTU (UK) firmware to my XSA (AUS) NOTE10+ and now trying to flash to new XSA that was released yesterday but having issues.
After XSA flash, it boots into recovery mode saying your data might be corrupted, I tried to choose try again option but it gives error screen and boot back to recovery mode.
AP, BL, CP and CSC are all choosen in odin, no other setting was touched.
So I flashed back to BTU and my phone restore back fine. I'm using HOME_CSC as I don't want to reset my phone.
Same result for older firmware for both BTU and XSA, I just can't go back.
Anyone having simillar issue? Can this be fixed or only way is full reset?
XSA firmware is N975FXXU1BSLA/N975FOXM1BSLA/N975FXXU1BSL4
BTU is N975FXXS1BSLD/N975FOXM1BSL7/N975FXXU1BSL4
