Finally, the 5.0.2 roms for Galaxy A5 (A500F variant) have been made public by sammobile/samfirmware.. Initially the first build of 5.0.2 was released for Russia, then after a couple of months of nothing, the rom for Malaysia finally rolled out, and today we finally have more regions coming out..
Grab your 5.0.2 from sammobile :highfive:
Don't forget to read the instructions and backup your apps and storages before flashing as it may wipe your devices clean
I will update this later as i'm still mobile.
To mods, if this thread is posted at the wrong forum please let me know.
Cheers

Hi everyone
So I have Tab 10.1 which I bought in June... Later on I rooted it, a while ago before the touchwiz firmware update came out. Once that came out, I tried to update it numerous times (im not sure whether the tablet was still rooted or not when I tried to update) and the update failed continuously... Anyhow, don't ask me why I did this but I erased my system in the bootloader!!! I didnt realise that it was literally the OS I was clearing.... Eventually I found a firmware file on the internet for it and flashed it... Previously my Tab was running the HMJ37 UEKMB firmware, now it is running the Europe HMJ37 XXKFC firmware which has touchwiz already...
Now what I want to know is, is this firmware genuine, and will I be able to recieve future updates on it such as ICS when they are released? If not is there any place where I can find the UEKMB firmware to flash to my Tab??

It doesn't matter if it's genuine, don't use stock firmwares anyways. Custom ROMS are better. Wait till someone on this forum develops a sick ICS ROM.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A

You can get samsung official firmware from them: http://m.samsung.com/us/support/downloads
But I prefer "In Paris" by Task650 and Phantom.
Hey guys
I am using this ROM on my S2 (Intl.) and yeah it has some bugs, but thats okay, but today i saw in the CM download section that there is CM11 available for the S2, butonly for the T-Mobile version.
So my question is, whether I can flash the T-Mobile version or if that would brick my phone. And if I can't, can I flash ROMs from the Note 2 for example? I have one S2 in use and one only for testing ROMs, so i could copy a stable S2 ROM on my sd and then copy the CM11 T-Mobile, too. Then I'll flash the T-Mobile ROM and if that wouldn't work i can boot in recovery, clear all data and flash the stable version? Or is thisimpossible and I am just a silly dude?
thanks for answering
Merry Christmas!
Do not flash non-I9100 firmware on the I9100, yes, there's a fair chance you'll brick your phone if you do.
I suggest you learn 'the basics' given your question (read the guides/tutorials stickied in the General section for starters), 'messing' with your phone in any way (particularly if it involves flashing, even with CWM) is risky without knowing them.
no no I know the basics including that you should not flash not appropriate firmwares, it was just a question, but okay, I understood, so I#ll keep waiting until an official version of CM11 for the normal S2 will be uploaded

Exactly. I know it seems a madness that the Galaxy S2 has not yet been updated (it is enough to think that the Galaxy S already has the CM11), but more of install the CM11 not journal cannot we do.
P. S: Merry Christmas
Hello, I noticed that samsung released the 4.4.4 update.
I found this link MOD EDIT:LINK REMOVED online
Please make it a custom rooted ROM.
Thanks
Not for note 10.1 2014 !!!!!!! its for 2012
Thanks, I forgot there was another version.
what the hell is going on? why did the older version get update before us. WTF??
If I was a hopeful person, maybe Samsung will go straight to L faster?

I've got this Galaxy S2 since a couple of years and back in 2012 I rooted it following the method in the video below
How to Root Galaxy S2! [NEW][i9100]
the device is on android 2.3.3 (GingerBread) and according to the guy who posted the youtube it is a super safe method and it is but now I decided I want to upgrade it with a customized ROM from your respectful GS2 section.
my questions are :
1- following the method above; is my device fully rooted and ready to be flashed and tweaked around?
2-if my device is ready to go;Would anyone kindly direct me to the page where I can find a guide/s on how to install the tools required on the device (gs2) to do the move from 2.3.3 -(because through my search here most what I found was going up from IcecreamSandwich +) -to the newest supported firmware ?
Thanks for the great work you guys doing to support android devices.

Should work fine. It would be an even safer to update to official jelly bean first before flashing a custom rom as you will face less issues this way.

Hi Guys,
I have an old rooted phone Galaxy S2 SGH-I777 v2.3.4 and would like to update it to the newest version possible. I am a noob when it comes to SmartPhones. Does anyone have a link with a comprehensive guide and a link to a latest stable ROM for this phone?
I've tried searching, but couldn't find any recent posts and a lot of old ones had broken links.
Thank you.
There is so little activity in the forums now that I don't check every day. Sorry for the delay in answering.
The latest stock firmware for this phone is I777UCMD8 which is Android 4.1.2 Jelly Bean. You can download this firmware from the Download Repository. You'll find it near the bottom of the page.
If you want a stable custom rom based on Samsung touchwiz firmware, the most likely candidates are SHOstock 3 v 4.0, and Cooked. If you have problems with download links, I can probably help.
As far as a guide, I can't suggest anything, but will be happy to guide you if you need it.
