Go on Sammobile , find the latest firmware for your region , don't download the once which have mark [! << in Red ] , then use odin to flash it, it's very easy!

Pros and Cons of Latest Indian firmware DDKQ5

Hi Folks,
We have got a latest firmware DDKQ5 via Kies.
Lets make use of this thread to discuss about the additional features, Pros/Cons of this version.
I made a call to the samsung customer care on their toll free number this evening.
I was inquiring when the GB update would be released in India!
The call went to a senior authority as the initial guy who spoke to me was not aware of what i was speaking about.
Then i was told that they are not sure when the official release would be done.
I kept on asking that for other regions its there, why not India, then that guy told me, they have not released it via KIES yet, but if i want a GB update i can go to the service center and upgrade.
YES! THEY SAID WALK IN TO THE SERVICE CENTER AND GET IT FLASHED WITH GB
Then i called the nearest service center asking for updates, they said that still they did not get it from Samsung, they will get it next week (September 1st week).
Lets hope for the best.
Can u guys check with the nearest service center and reply??

I'd like to know if Link2SD works with this? Has anyone tried? Because the internal memory is too low and I definitely can't live without a real A2SD solution. Also, rooting works too, right?

My phone is back on Stock GB 2.3.4 !!

Phone repaired, did they root my phone?

I posted this question in another thread, though I never got a direct answer and didn't want to hijack the thread either.
A while back I had my phone repaired. I've never attempted to update my phone in all this time. I recently installed Kies and saw the following information:
PDA:KE1 / PHONE:KE4 / CSC:KD1 (XEU)
It says "This version of the device cannot be updated".
When I tried the "software update" via the phone, which then said a new firmware would have to be installed and if I'd like to download. I selected Yes and then the phone reboots. When it came back on it said that the update had failed and to try connect and do it through KIES. So I think there's an update available yet I can't do anything about it?
My phone details are:
Android Version: 2.3.3
Baseband Version: I9100XXKE4
Kernal Version: 2.6.35.7-I9100XWKE1-CL181974
[email protected] #2
Build Number: GINGERBREAD.XWKE1
Does the information from the Kernal Version indicate that they rooted my phone when they repaired it? If so, will there be a way of changing it back?
Thanks.
Does hboot say s-off or s-on?

no they will not root your phone as you are using kies to get official updates.
use odin and flash either generic roms which you will have to root yourself.
custom roms usually are rooted by the developer.
Does the information from the Kernal Version indicate that they rooted my phone
NO all its says is [email protected] which is part of the signature and nothing to do with rooting a phone ..
If Kies says no update for your phone then its usually correct .Phone provider has not updated firmware .

I never used Kies until now and the phone wasn't updated before sending it back to be repaired. I don't really have the intention of rooting the phone myself. Was just wondering why I can't update the firmware.

Kies says there's no update, however I'm asked to use Kies after a failed attempt to use the software update function of the phone. It says that there's a new firmware version available. I downloaded it and it asks to reboot my phone. When it starts up again it says the update has failed and to use Kies. I don't understand why it would say there's a new firmware available and yet I can't update it?

Thanks for the replies.
If the phone isn't rooted by them, why won't the software update allow me to update the new firmware that it says is available? It fails and asks me to do it through Kies where it says that my version of the phone cannot be updated?

Dude... You keep asking the same question. Although I cannot say why your phone is telling you that you have an update available and it is failing and saying to use KIES, I can reiterate what JJE mentioned and that is that it sounds like your carrier has NOT released an actual update for your device.
I recommend that you call your cell phone carrier and ask them if and when an update WILL be available and start from there. If they say that there IS an upadte available then you can ask your question again but until you know for sure you are just going around in circles.
the csc you have does cuurently support updates has they have not been released for that region.
try changing the csc to a country that has updates.

Sorry about that. My mind does tend to run in circles.
My phone was bought from Dialaphone and it's unbranded.

When I try changing the csc all I get is the XEU sales code. There are no other options available. I reside in the UK, btw.

S3 how to debrand ???

Hi guys I've got S3 from Vodafone Ireland, probably that phone is branded. I can't wait until upgrade to JB 4.1.1. When I checking my update there is all the time "no update". I don't want to wait forever. Can I debrand my phone?? Do I need root it first? If yes what rom should I put in? And when I put debrand rom, than can I got any update from OTA ???

Guess your update had knox. You will need to flash the original knox enabled firmware, the one you got updated to. Check on sammobile if they have the firmware available. You can't go back to a older rom afaik.
What's your phone model number?

SGH-I527M ......i cracked the screen on my old mega and got sent this one.....rogers phones werent supposed to have knox
And I have no clue what that update was.
and I cant download it from sammobile as it uses terrafile or something and it wont let me download it
I tried installing this Galaxy Mega 6.3 LTE (Canada) SGH-I527M RWC Canada (rogers) I527MVLUAMH1 4.2.2 01.08.2013 1251310 but no luck
The last firmware I see for Canada Rogers is I527MVLUAMH1 dated September 2013.
All new firmwares are coming out with Knox. I suggest you pm valentel, shazzl or megalomanic with your issue. They are the stock masters.

Samsung Galaxy Mega 6.3 GT-I9200 MTK6572A Bricked Need Help Urgenb
Hi
Anyone who can help me fix my phone. I was to load a custom ROM on my phone but since i was using SP Flash Tools accidentally clicked full format and everything is gone and nothing turns on. When i plug in the phone the unknown device dhows in the device manager of windows 8.1 I have tried to install the drivers but every time i try to flash it it returns with DRAM FAIL or some other related errors. I have made an insane mistake and seems like i have BRICKED the phone. I am unable to find the ROM, The Kernal, Scatter file, I have managed to get a scatter file but it does not work with the SP Flash tools. I tried to use ODIN but the phone does not go into download mode previously while trying to install the custom rom. The chip is MTK 6572A, It is a dual core 1.7ghz, Mali 400, I have lost the original backup and everything. Plz folks help me to fix the phone back and how can I go about it any thing that can make it work I would be thank full.
