Which firmware to use? - Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

It's my first time updating an android phone. To be specific, I have a Samsung Galaxy S4 manufactured by DoCoMo which I'd like to update from 4.2.2 to 5.x (Lollipop).
Here's a screenshot of my device information: i.imgur.com/xawKmqB.jpg
I've seen a firmware named Samsung Galaxy S4 Canada SGH-I337M (mrcrab.net/view-stockrom/sgh-i337m.html), but I am not sure if this is the firmware for my phone. Is it? I'm not sure which firmware to use. And also, is there any way to confirm my device name?
Thanks :victory:

ICS 4.0.4 firmware is not yet released for 3, Vodafone, and O2 in the UK.
The best bet is to flash 4.0.4 for unbranded UK firmware here: www.sammobile.com/firmware/?page=3&model=GT-I9100&pcode=XEU&os=1&type=1#firmware
Or simply stay with your present firmware
Swyped from my Samsung Galaxy SII
Excellent answer!!, just what I was looking for, thanks pal

Flashing At&T S3 with unbranded firmware

Hi,
I currently have a samsung galaxy s3 branded on at&t running on 4.1.1 (model: SGH - 1747)
However, it does not have chinese language on it and I need to have it installed. After searching the web, it seems the only way is to flash a firmware over it. How do I do this?
I had downloaded Odin and a Unbranded firmware. However I'm not sure if the firmware is right for it. I9300XXDLJ4
If I flash this firmware over my existing at&t branded on, would it work ? Or will the phone not work anymore?
Thank you.
It's urgent.

Frankly, I think that's impossible. I have a Galaxy SIII GT-I9308, which is customed for CHINA MOBILE. When I flash XXELLA and replaced the modem.bin, it seems to be bricked....
DON'T FLASH IT!
You don't have an international i9300 do you! So don't flash it or you will possibly end up with a paperweight

[Q] Samsung Galaxy Tablets

I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab S 10.5 (SM-T800). I currently have CyanogenMod 12 installed, but i want to go back to my stock firmware.
when i search my device on the SamMobile firmware site, it gives a bunch of firmwares for different countries, but it does not give one for the United States, where i am living
Does it matter which firmware i use? Will i still receive OTA updates if i choose a random firmware?

Does it matter which firmware i use? - it does, don't flash wrong firmware, or you will soft-brick your tablet
if you still have orginal box or receipt, it should says something like this;
PDA: T800XXU1ANH1
CSC: T800UVS1ANG2
MODEM: T800XXU1ANH1
Notice the H1, G2, H1 at ends....which defines which country code region tablet belongs to..
Just give you an idea, for example my Galaxy TabPro 8.4 WiFI has "T320UEU1ANG1", which I bought it here in USA (bestbuy), and if I check sammobile, it shows as Cellular south, so means that's my offical firmware for my tablet that come with it.
So in your case, I believe yours is T800XXU1ANK1

Updating firmware from another country Galaxy a10e

Hey. I have an Galaxy SM-A102u, which is the Galaxy a10e. Its from the US AT&T and I live in Canada. I want to update the firmware to Android 10. I want to also do not want At&T on my phone, so am able flash an open firmware from Canada , or do I need to flash only the AT&T firmware or an open one from the US? Also, am I able to change the firmware from a102u to a102w, or does that work? I think I better go back to school lol
