Cumps.

---

Cumps!

let's wait
i have to downgrade to 4.4.4 from 5 - it's too laggy...

---

Tried to downgrade from French version Lollipop to my own country version Kitkat, result as a bootloop... trying again with Odin, I hope it will not bootloop anymore.

---

Surely this phone is cool enough to ROM?
I am honestly so surprised to see that there is literally nothing online (or nowhere I can see)?
SOMEONE HELP? This stock 4.4.4 is KILLING me!?

we are the ones who bought phone on basis of looks... we got swayed. and now paying the price for no support

Where did you download the French ROM from, I'm guessing it supports English right? I have found SOOO many fake sites boasting to have the 5.0.1 and 5.0.2 ROMS, I swear!

Seriously? I was hoping it would fix the lag on 4.4.4?? I am so surprised to see the performance of this A7; it benchmarks well to be this slow??

I got it from Sammobile. 5.0.2 FR

any site talking about custom ROMs for A7 are all fake.
Sammobile is definitely the legit respository of all the firmwares of the Samsung lines.

hello mate
assuming your device is A700F
You can goto sammmobile anytime and download the french latest ROM (A700FXXU2BOG1_A700FXEF2BOG3_XEF 5.0.2 )from there any time. Hopefully you are all smiles
