Hello -
I have a Samsung galaxy S4 SCH-I545L currently on android 4.4.2. This is a phone on an independent rural carrier that uses Verizon's LTE. The OTA update does not have the 5.0 update available, nor does Samsung kies. Is there a 5.0.1 or 5.0.2 stock ROM available that will work with this phone - and if so, is there a way to upgrade to this without having to wipe the data?
Thanks all
Help!?

So you don't get the ota update via the phone

No - it says "The latest updates have already been installed". And that's because it is not Verizon - it is a smaller independent cellular company that uses Verizon's LTE. Galaxy S4 SCH-I545L

No - Phone is not rooted, but it wouldn't be a problem to root & install safestrap if knew I could go to 5.0.x

The problem is that I guess you might have to wait till your company has it available. I would contact them. You can flash via Safestrap but I don't know if the phone would get messed up or bricked.
You can try it but not recommended.

I just bought a brand new unbranded and unrooted S3 and as I checked my phone information I found this
Baseband: i9300ubfl2
I tried searching for it but I could not find where this ublf2 comes from as most of what I see are xxa or xxb.
Is this not a stock firmware? and if so how can I restore it to samsung's stock firmware?
And if it helps I successfully installed the first OTA update available.
Thanks in advance
If you successfully installed an OTA you likely did not have a rooted phone unless recovery was stock. Is there a superuser app in the apps list?

No superuser app in the application list. Maybe I should just wait a couple of weeks before trying to check if the second OTA is released for me.
Thanks
Hello guys
How are you doing?
I hope everyone is doing well.
I have Samsung Galaxy S III international GT-I9300 running ROM with BB version of I9300XXLFB.
Samsung has released JB updates to almost all Levant region countries except for the LF3 CSC (KSA version). I don't know why Samsung is so lazy in terms of their system updates and customer service.
Anyway, I decided to manually update to JB of another Levant country (UAE).
When I had my device rooted before, the device status changed from "Normal" to "Modified", even after unrooting and flashing the stock ROM. I needed to fully go to stock by wiping my data and using TriangleAway in order to reset it back to normal. My device now is unrooted and running stock ROM and having the device status in "Normal" mode.
My question is: if I flash the ROM using Odin and choose "F. Reset Time" in it, will the device status change to "modified"? Will that affect automatic OTA future updates?
Depends if your flashing a Samsung ROM or unofficial kernel etc

Yes, it is an official stock JB ROM by Samsung but for another country. It is a ROM provided by SamMobile.com, and it supports Kies.
Then it should be fine buddy

I've read on another forum that a guy did this (not with the model of S5 that you have) and was successfull. He did this without root.
On the other hand, I've tried to flash the stock firmware of SM-G900M on my SM-G900T (T-Mobile), without rooting, and I've received a FAIL message on ODIN. So, now I'll try to root my phone and then flash the firmware. I don't know if it will cause any damage.
About the problem of the Mobile HotSpot, have you tried to go on Settings > Network Connections > Tethering and Mobile HotSpot?
My T-Mobile (SM-G900T) came without the toggle of the Mobile HotSpot, if this is your problem there's a way to add this toggle on the notification panel.
Hello,
I bought a T-Mobile Galaxy S5 SM-G900T recently and want to know if is it possible to flash a stock firmware of another model to my cellphone?
For example, if I flash the firmware built for SM-G900M to my phone, can it cause any damage?
Thank you very much!

I've used it... Appears my phone came from my carrier with 900M rom, and tmo baseband... So is it possible to flash 900M rom through Odin? On a 900t?also csc says TTT which is Trinidad.... I tried stock tmo version on my phone and wasn't very happy with white dialer and Hotspot issues

You asked all of these questions in a previous thread Kjc99. And I answered them at length. But you seem intent on ignoring the parts that you didn't want to accept.
Your 900T will work fine on another carrier if it uses the same frequency bands. You won't install a baseband from a 900M. You can change a ROM if you wish. And you won't get a TMB OTA with a Trinidad CSC and no OTA signal.
It's your phone, so have at it. But if you still intend to try flashing a 900M bootloader onto your 900T, you will just brick it.
