Hi,
but I have the same problem
I've bought an unbranded/open SGS3 in Austria with specs
AP: I9300XXALEF
CP: I9300XXLEF
CSC: I9300ATOALE3
A few days ago I rooted via CF-Root 6.3 & Odin.
Yesterday I got a message saying there's an OTA update, which I tried to install.
So the phone reboots, the progress of the update is displayed (Android robot standing there), but it stops at 30% (Android robot lying down with a red triangle) and the phone reboots again. Then it says "Update failed, please try using KIES"
Of course I tried afterwards using KIES, but KIES tells me "Firmware upgrades are not supported for your device". WTF?
I don't know what to do now
The OTA reminder keeps nagging, but I can't install the update. I also thought that CF-Root 6.3 supports OTA (and for most of the people it does), but not for me...
Do you have any tipps for me?
I'm a beginner, using android for 5 days now :fingers-crossed:
I have the same problem, the update failed. I read about the new CF-Root version and installed it, but now it says there is no new firmware update available. How can i get the device to download the update again?

Got the same problem here if even CF-Root don't work I will wait for a better solution.

Kies says its up to date...
Install Samsung Kies, connect with USB and run update.
I just updated mine this way after OTA failed for the same reason as yours.

Same, using USB , installing CF-Root for SGS3 v6.3 didn't helped too.
Well, after having no solution to this problems I flashed another FW and now the OTA update (and root) is gone.
I hope that when the next OTA update appears (and I'm rooted again) the problem won't be the same again

Latest CF root should enable OTA updates .
But from experience with SG two routes XDA or official dont mix and match .

Tried again yesterday evening and Kies finally downloaded the update. Had to root again after update.

Hi,
I have a friend who bought his SGS2 from Phones4U (UK).
He has updated it via ODIN to an unofficial firmware version but didn't bother checking what factory version of firmware was originally on the phone.
And now, yep, you guessed it he wants to revert back to factory so that Kies recognises his phone and will update through the "official route".
Does anybody know what version of firmware from the samfirmware site is the correct one for phones4u users here in the UK?
Any help would be appreciated.
Cheers,
Luke.
As this is my first post I can't link an image from my KIES.
Not sure if this is what you are really after but here goes.
PDA:KIA4/PHONE:KI1/CSC:KH2 (XEU)
Thanks for that info. Looks like he may need to download one of the XEU firmware versions...
Will get him to give it a go and report back.
Thanks again!

Sammobile.com has all official firmwares listed under the firmware section, posted by country and service provider.

Yep but it doesn't state which firmware represents Phones4U which is the problem as my mate didn't bother taking note of the factory firmware version that originally came with his device. Judging by the previous posters details on his phone (purchased from P4U) he needs an XEU (Europe) version so he's going to give one of the three European versions on there a go later.

Probably not a bad move. Once he flashes a stock ROM, he can update through Kies.
It could only be a problem if (big unlikely if) something goes wrong with the phone and he has to send it in for service, and then if the service people check the records (which is also not likely, if there's an official version of firmware and "custom counts" = 0).

Don't you need to be correct in the ROM selection for this to work though? I.e. if you put the wrong stock ROM on, Kies will recognise your device but will tell you that it does not support the version on your device (something along those lines).

It worked fine on mine, but i got my device within the first week of release...
Checkfus and download the firmware for whatever you want .

Interested if it works as it might come in handy.
So do give us an update on how it went and how you did it.
Bit of a noob with the S2.
Hi Guys,
I've got a S2 on Tmobile UK and I wish to unlock it to enable me to use other network sims.
Im not entirely sure what to do with all these rom versions and firmware stuff etc ...
I've managed to root my phone via CWM.zip and using the SU-Busybox.zip ... now im not too sure what to do next to sim unlock. I've tried all the sim unlock programs from the market but they dont seem to work.
I dont want to install all these flashy things and wish to keep everything stock if possible.
Currently im using ICS 4.04
PDA : I9100BVLPH
PHONE : I9100BVLPE
CSC: I9100TMULPH
Thanks All!

Galaxy S Unlock - free - dont work
Galaxy sim unlock - this one havent tried needs to pay .... ideally want it done free
This is the one I used when I first got my device and it worked. (Free)

This one is newer and more compatible but will cost small fee of about £1.60 to unlock device.

Do these work on the ICS I read they only work for gingerbread ?
would sim unlocking have any effect updating via kies again when Jelly bean gets released ?
Thank you
I was able to get the phone unlocked using the following app.
See the following Link and download the .apk file and install it on your device. But make sure you have rooted phone.
Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=34187077&postcount=685
After you install it then you run it and there is a small gray bar at the bottom you just press that phone unlocked and you restart the device. Everything works fine. It worked for me I hope it works for you as well. Even if u have tried the same app before i suggest you still try the one on that link.

The second one works on GB/ICS/JB. I can confirm it works on JB as I recently used it after installing latest leaked JB sammy rom as that was sim locked.

Unlocking has got nothing to do with updates, firmware does.
If kies sees you're rooted, might play hardball with your device.
Why people keep updating via kies? What if power goes off?
And who waits for branded updates to roll out????????????
I'm kidding, it's your right to do so.

Hi, I'm trying to flash my samsung with the new android 4.3 but it keeps
Go back to the original firmware no matter what firmware I flash it with
I've tried 4.0.1 official firmware (which was originally on it)
And the new 4.3
And that happened after I took it to samsung services to solve a problem happened in it
And they flashed it with the EGY firmware
Does anyone know why it keeps going back to that firmware?
And by the way I could root it normally and used it for about 2 weeks
Thank you very much for your help
Sales code : EGY
Bootloader version: I9300XXEMD3
Baseband version: I9300XXEMA5

Maybe the Rom is not flashing properly. Phone should be "USB Debugging" enabled. Then please make sure you are selecting the md5 file in PDA section of Odin and also make sure that the phone is connected in Download mode (Power+Home+Vol Down - and then press Vol UP from the screen). It will show a blue color in COM section.

About odin, yes you can flash the firmware and your phone will work normally. Rooted does not matter for odin.
But if you are rooted then OTA update will not happen because Samsung will detect that you modified (rooted) the software.

I did the flashtool route of upgrading to 5.1.1 as I have in the past using this guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/xperia-z2/general/4-4-4-creating-rooted-update-package-t2933155
It goes through optimizing apps, then reboots, and repeats this process. I can get into the regular recovery menu with the options to reboots and factory reset by holding volume down, but can't seem to get into TWRP from ZXDualRecovery so I can restore the backup that I made.
Any help would be appreciated. Just want my tablet back up and running.

Care to link me?I can't find it anywhere. My tablet won't pull it and the Verizon update software says it's up to date.
May be best to wait. That update borked my tablet, but Xperifirm is software that you use to download it.
I've used xperitool,tried to ota,used verizon/Sony upgrade tool, got the same email from Sony, and Googled the hell out of this with no results. I'm convinced there is no 5.1.1 update for this tablet and it was confused with the 5.0.2 update going from verizon internal testing to official ota. The z3 phone and this tablet shared the build name. I don't believe it. With that in mind I think you flashed phone firmware and that's why you are bootlooping.

No it's there. Spent some time with the tablet today, got it back up and running, and it's on 5.1.1.

Xperifirm finally showed it on my end. Fails flashing the last part. Tablet boots to a screen that says software update failed. Any suggestions?

Tried on 3 different pc's using 4 different cables. Same result. Flashed back to the leaked 5.0.2. Guess I'll wait for an ota...

Here's the same FTF I used if you would like to give it a shot.
Thanks for sharing that.
Your welcome. Did it work?

OK if your using flashtool to to update then it's likely you are overwriting the custom recovery with the stock one from the ftf so you should flash twrp again after flashing a ota then I would recommend flashing a prerooted firmware from the general section

Did this file end up working for you? I was on the 5.1.1 and then rooted and later ended up bricking my tablet...the only ftf file I can find is the 5.0.2 internal version and the 4.4.4 kit kat. I've tried making ftf files but whatever I get off xperifirm never shows in the available files box when I'm trying to decrypt. Do you by chance have a stock official 5.1.1 ftf file that is ready to flash? I'm going insane here lol I wish I could make my own files
Yes, and for the user above your post that I shared it for.
Anyone get the bootloader unlocked on the sgp561?

We still need to make our own flashable.zip and then we can use the ftf above?
So today I saw there was a software update available for my G5. I did some looking and could not find any release notes for the update. Does anyone here know what the update contains or where to find release notes? Thank you.
Can confirm the update.

I too (along with a work colleague) were pushed an OTA update this morning.
Here's what my software version page looks like now (in text form cause i'm a newbie and they don't allow links):
Android version
6.0.1
Android security patch level
2016-04-01
Baseband version
MPSS.TH.2.0.c1.4-00013-
M8996FAAAANAZM-2.44625.9
Kernel version
3.18.20
Build number
MMB29M
Software version
H82010h
Security software version
MDF v2.0 Release 2
I got it too. I guess I should not install it because they currently working on root.
Sent from my LG-H820 using XDA-Developers mobile app
Well it's too late for me I already installed it. I should've thought about root. Still haven't found release notes for the update. Maybe it's just minor stuff that was fixed?
From Reddit:
SMS enhancements
Bluetooth enhancements
Audio improvements when connected to auxiliary cable (is this the aux hiss fix?)
Alarm Clock update
Google Security Patches
Fix for camera issues with Snapchat and other 3rd party camera apps was not added before software submission. It will be included in the next update for this model.

Thanks! You're the man!
I said no, kept putting it off, then it FORCED update at 6am. I don't know how to keep it from forcing it. Mad! I need root! :/
Mine came pre-installed with this version. The Android security patch level has 03/01/2016 Build no MMB29M. So it's most likely on most G5's already.
Edit: I just noticed that my software version is H8210C so guess there's a new Ota so I checked the update but it says my software is up to date

Will the LG bridge tool pull the update for you? To my knowledge we can't grab the ota file without root.
I'll try that then see if it works

I had the same issue so I went to the AT&T store and had them to replace the sim card. That solved the issue. I am now on the latest software version. I've had this issue on 3 different devices. Looks like AT&T would solve this problem without having to replace the sim card.

You're welcome you might want to call AT&T tech support tell them to notate your account that a sim card replacement is required to solve the issue so they don't charge you for a sim card just tell them it's not the first time you had to do this to get an ota.

Any root exploit for lg phones since the g3 has involved download mode, updating shouldn't affect your ability to gain root, if there is one thing lg can do its make an insecure download mode, thankfully for us, it will be our saving grace!
Still no root for the LG G5 H820 (AT&T) Marshmallow 6.0.1?

Sadly, no.
In Germany the (Vodafone) LG G5 gets a new Update via OTA. How can we found out what changed, I mean something like a changelog.
