If anyone has a stock sch-r530u (U.S. Cellular) firmware, that would be great! Can't seem to find it on the inter webs.
What firmware does it have currently? I've only been able to find an older version of JB - 4.1.2. I might possibly have another version on my hard drive at home but have not looked into it for a long time so am not sure...

If you have already updated to 4.3, I do not think this file will work.

How can I download the latest stock firmware if I buy the AT&T unlocked version and use it in another country? also would I be able to use a custom firmware on it?
You probably can't use any of the custom firmware currently out for International version, the CPU/RAM configuration is different. But you could probably still update the stock firmware using Kies.
Thanks, yea I guess I will be waiting for other developers to tinker with the AT&T firmware and I have to learn how to apply it as I have never used Android before
Okay I'm wanting to unroot my S3 since I never actually use any root features and I'd much prefer to receive OTA updates when they're finally pushed than have to Odin flash the latest version each time it's released. My problem is I can't for the life of me figure out what the latest firmware is. My phone is on 4.1.2 XXELLA which I thought was the latest since my cousins unrooted phone is also on that but now I've read that XXELLB and XXELLC are later versions. Can someone just tell me what the latest version is?

Thanks for that. Just plugged it into Kies and it shows the same software version as being available. It's willing to upgrade my phone despite it being modified. Is this recommended or should I avoid doing it?
Its fine to do it.
I bought htc one m8 from e-bay (at&t unlocked) when I was USA. That at&t apps are really annoying and I didnt get the lollipop update. I wanted to update the rom by myself and delete the at&t apps. And now I rooted + unlocked bootloader and installed android revoulation 5.0.1 lollipop rom. I can't use wifi + I cant reboot the phone (it stucks at white HTC screen). I didn't flash firmware because s-on still. So I need really simple and detailed information about what to do. Can anyone pm me about it or explain in comments?
There is not Lollipop update for AT&T yet.
And if you aren't on AT&T's network you won't get any OTAs either. AT&T is fairly unique in this regard, other versions will update regardless of what carrier you are connected to.
For most Lollipop ROMs, you will find your WiFi is broken due to wrong (old) firmware. Your options:
1) A couple Lollipop Sense ROMs (LeeDroid?) seem to work with 4.4.4 firmware. But if your firmware is older than 4.4.4, I don't think any Lollipop Sense ROMs will work.
2) Revert to a ROM version that supports your firmware. For instance, if you are still on 4.4.4 firmware, install a stock or custom 4.4.4 Sense ROM.
3) S-off and update your firmware "manually".
I see another Software Update OTA on my unlocked 850M.
IF this update is 850MUBU1BOB2 I want it !
IF this update is Lollipop I do NOT want it !
How can I tell before I enable Download ?
I downgraded back to KK after LP automatically updated. I can't remember which KK file I downgraded to, but it was different than the original one. Finally figured out the original one and downgraded to that.
If both of our SM-G850M came with the same software version--and I'm betting they did--my guess is that you won't like the newer KK version either. It's not as, "artistic" as the original.
I looked around the internet a lot and wasn't able to find any useful information about this. I have a GT-I9300
I've recently updated my OS (lineage 4.1 - Android 7.1.2) and modem (I9300XXUGMK6) and I'm wondering what a recommended boot-loader might be. I chose this modem because it was listed on the ROM page, and it seems to work fine.
I found this but it appears to be very old:

Before I updated, my modem was version I9300XXEMG4, and I'm pretty sure I updated my modem and boot-loader at the same time previously, which leads me to believe my boot-loader is probably XXEMG4 too (assuming that exists).
Should I update to XXEMG5? Should I try to find the boot-loader that corresponds to my modem (XXUGMK6, assuming that exists)?
I just want something that is probably going to be reliable, not that I have any specific problems, but I believe in staying up to date. Where can I find the latest boot-loaders? Any reason not to just get the latest? What are people here using in general?
The bootloader doesn't need to be changed and you cannot downgrade once you've updated the firmware to mk6 unless you have a backup of your efs from before mk6.
If it ain't broke..
Beamed in by telepathy.
Ok, it seems to be running fine since I upgraded the modem. Thanks.
