I got a 10.1 3G version today in the UK and the first thing I did was a KIES update.
The firmware that's now installed is P7500BUKI1 (Bravo Uniform Kilo India One).
I've done a google and can only find one reference to this firmware, is it brand new?
I've also done a google search and a search here for how to dump a firmware and can't seem to find a useful howto, could someone point me at one possibly?
Thanks
Would be great if you could find a way to get the firmware uploaded - been trying to get the tab back to a stock UK firmware for a while now!
Does Kies not store the downloaded firmware?
I found out how to do a CWM backup so have done one and now have a fullset of .img files.
If someone can point me at a howto to extract them I can try to put together a recovery zip for you.
ok cheers. I tried to do a quick search to see if I could help, but I can't!
Is yours a carrier version? Is the CSC XEU or did you buy a Tab in the UK that's from another country? Mine's an October build and this is what shows in Kies:
PDA:KHD / PHONE:KG1 / CSC:KH3 (XEU)
There aren't any updates available which is unusual if they've already started shipping units with a newer build. Is the new ROM 3.1 or 3.2?

KI1 is a September build, it is Android 3.1. I have been running Italian (ITV) KI1 firmware for some time already and it is really smooth.
If you can give us more information then we probably can find this firmware on Samsung servers.
Please post the contents of following files (you don't need root to access these files, you just need a file explorer):
system\CSCVersion.txt

KH3 XEU was just released three weeks ago on the delayed 32GB and 64GB P7500's that were all built in October. What OP received is probably that update (along with carrier customizations) that's being pushed out to Vodafone Tabs. This is especially true if it's 3.1. I'd guess the next general XEU update will be to 3.2.

I know, and it is exactly what I need so that I can get my tab back to the stock XEU firmware that I have spent a ridiculous amount of time trying to get!
i think not yet

If you could that would be brilliant. I've been trying to get my tab back to stock and updatable with Kies for ages!
im on 3 uk does any 1 no when the lumia 12700 firmware update will arrive is it pushed out by nokia or will it be 3 uk ?
It's rolling out as we speak. You might still have to wait a few days, since some devices get the update later than others.
What about Germany? Has anyone with a german lumia received the update?
Check this thread for the releases
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1525370&page=26
or you can do it yourself if you install NaviFirm and use the refresh option to get the latest list.
My Lumia 800 has just been updated to the latest 12700 firmware, via Zune
(I bought the phone, unlocked from Carphone Warehouse, and I'm on the Giff Gaff network in the UK)
just plugged mine into zune getting update now so may be worthwhile checking if u have not received it yet.

I have an unbranded device and did not get the update until now.
If i updated my phone with CAB sender to get the latest firmware earlier. Will zune still try to update my phone? Or should i rollback to a backup i made and then get the official update for my area?

I doubt that you'll receive the update again, since the published version should be the same as the new firmware. However you can try to reset, but I wouldn't say that you'll gain an advantage...

Rollback to the backup, then you'll receive the update, as you've updated with cab sender, Zune would think it's updated. The update will arrive in the next few days if it hasn't today. So be ptient.

Thanks for the reply
I've already checked that list but since I couldn't find a german update I just wanted to ask around to see if i missed something.
I'm not at home now which makes it impossible to install navifirm... besides i want to install the update through zune.

I'm on three in the UK and I haven't got it yet, I seem to be a few updates behind anyway so I think I have a dodgy phone

So, has anyone with a german lumia received the update or is it still unavailable? (T-Mobile)
Hi Guys,
Just a quick question here that I cant seem to piece the answer together for. I have seen in the forum requests and talk about Three branded S3's and just wondered if anyone that has used it or knows more than I could tell me.
1) Apart from start-up logo is there anything else on a 3 branded phone that's missing or cant be removed without needing to be root or re-flashing it?
2) I directly asked the guys in the shop if they change the firmware/ROM and they said no when Samsung release updates you get them instantly, would that be true? I mean if its branded doesn't that mean it goes through the network to tinker before release?
I ask as my HTC Desire was from T-Mobile and they took so long to release the 2.3 update (If they ever did) I went custom ROM and while I can always go custom or flash an unbranded ROM out of the box I could just go to carphone warehouse, etc and buy it unbranded in the first place (For a slightly worse deal) and the fear I feel flashing a brand new phone is quite high
Thanks,
Snowdan.

i can tell you that its not true., i also purchased it on three UK and the firmware it came with was the inital release one which is I9300XXALE8_I9300H3GALE4_H3G which i believe was released in may, i tried to update to the latest one via ota and kies but it kept saying my software is uptodate. which was a lie. i then installed I9300XXALE8 (4.0.4) which is a unbranded version and check on kies and immediately it prompted me for an update I9300XXBLFB (4.0.4) which was released 26 June 2012. I9300BVALE4 (4.0.4) was released 13 May 2012.
i had to change the CSC so that kies would recognize my device and allow updates.

Thanks for the response guys it sounded unlikely. I will take the non optimal deal and have the unbranded out of the box just to save the upfront effort. Once I start flashing ROM's I find it hard t stop and would like to use this vanilla and unrooted (Hoping for Sky Go ICS support one of these days) for a bit.
Thanks,

Hi,
I have a SGS2 handset that I bought from India which has CSC set as INU. Now, I am in US for a few weeks using AT&T sim card and recently found out that a new firmware update has been released for my handset. I was trying to update it using Kies but got the error that my device does not support firmware update via Kies.
Now, there are 2 cases:
1. If this is because I am in US and my CSC is for India, Kies is not letting me update.. then either I can wait for a while, go back to India and update it. Or, please suggest me if there is a way to tell KIES to use INU code for updating this handset?
2. If there is some other issue, then I would want to resolve that right now instead of waiting.
Can someone please suggest me if it's 1 or 2? Any suggestions would be most welcome.
I know ODIN is an option but I prefer to use KIES.
Thanks.

Go to sammobile.com, create an account there and download a firmware from the US.. since OTA updates are region-wise.
After downloading the file, you will get a .zip file.. when you extract it, you will get a .tar file
flash via Odin..
Put your phone to download mode and put the .tar you just extracted to PDA
Cheers!
You may love Odin. It's much more secure

Just dont do anything.Why are people like you hellbent on updating.Do you think you are missing out on something free.
I wonder if any of them athletes that were over here for the Olympics updated their Samsungs.
Thanks for the suggestions.
I got this resolved few days back and figured what the issue was so wanted to drop a line. Actually, I was trying different modems few months back and had installed a different one than what Kies was expecting and hence I was getting that error. I had completely forgotten about it and then one of my friend reminded me about it.. I switched back to the original modem and Kies agreed to update my phone's fw.
I do like Odin but since I haven't used it much and still have my phone under warranty, I prefer to stick to standard methods.
Hello guys, i Recently bought an at&t Alpha G850A used phone in Pakistand. Everything is perfect except its not updating when i go to about device section BUILD NUMBER is KTU84P.G850AUCU1ANH8 Whereas at&t has released an update for this phone which is BUILD NUMBER G850AUCU1ANL1. When i try to update it searches for the update for some time and then says update interrupted there is no new update for your device try again in 24 hours.
Q1) Is it because i am using it on MOBILINK NETWORK (Its a local network in pakistan) ? do i have to be on at&t sim to update?
Q2) Is there anyway i can update it manually?
*note i have already tried updating after factory reset.
Any help will be appreciated.

I have tried Kies it says this is the latest software available whereas i know it is not.
2) I have tried both, wifi and cellular.
There are no firmwares for ALPHA SM-G850A on sam mobile........at&t variant has TERRIBLE support and no root yet. There was a guy who posted a possible root exploit here but nobody bothered so my guess is this device will soon be joining the list of those phones who were never rooted.

Just a ideea....why don`t u flash the phone with SM-G850F firmware?
is it safe to do so? woudnt it brick the phone as the processors are different
Do not flash 850F firmware on 850A, there is too much diference between hardware in those phones. You will brick your phone!
Your phone is similar to :
SM-G850W for Canada
SM-G8508S for East & Southeast Asia
So maybe you can try to find can you flash software for those models...
Can anyone please confirm if i can flash the firmwares of SM-G850W for Canada or SM-G8508S on SM-G850A ?
