I know s5 has ODIN..... nexus devices have toolkits
Where can i..
1 - find a flash program for this device
2 - find the latest stock firmware so i can flash this sucker to the latest and fresh firmware
You can only get the software through OTA, which you would have figured out if you did some research
Lots of reading boiz, lots of reading

So yeah, got one of these phones. It's slow... I tried installing a ROM before, and I bricked it.
It's not like I did something wrong, I picked s5830i rom, from the forums, and my device never booted again.
Before I had a HTC HD2, I did a lot of flashing here, unluckily it got bricked, because it got really hot while doing task29. I tried doing the unbricking, but since I didn't really knew what region my device is, so I had to give it back to the warranty, they fixed it, but it took two weeks, that's not a time I want to wait without any phone. And I saw that CM7 is out.. Damn. So guys is it really worth, and any ideas how can I find my device region? Just in case if I would flash it again and brick it.
You Have Surely Didn't Follow the instructions of the rom you were flashing as you bricked it
You should be on Stock Rom before flashing any customs roms
You should see yourself which rom suits you in development section
You Can Flash any Odin Package For it
IF you Want for your region only you should search on google or XDA
Btw i am from India but i am using australian odin package Just for baseband firmware as XXLA2 is prefered for flashing rom
as per my knowledge
You can check Sams Firmware site to find the right one for your country. When i looked recently nearly all countries have latest update of firmwares. When you have firmware you can use unbrick tutorial in dev or general section to revert back to stock. Thats what the service guys do to your phone. Use the latest firmware available to your country. And happy flashing of roms in dev section but carefully read instructions as every one of them need different flashing sometimes.

Hi,
I have a Verizon Galaxy Note II I605 running Android 4.1.1 that I had originally rooted via Odin and followed instructions on the galaxynote2root website last Jan/Feb in 2012
I would like to upgrade to a stock ROM of 4.3 and keep root and was hoping someone could point me in the right direction in regards to which ROM to use and the steps to do so. I really only use root for the wifi tether and would like to keep the phone as close to stock as possible. I've gone through a number of different forums and posts but can't seem to find some good instructions with a corresponding recommendation on an Official OTA 4.3 ROM to use. I've found a lot variations on 4.3 ROMs, but most of them have gutted a lot of things or discussing having to flash firmware which makes me nervous.
Also, is it true I may be forced to take the OTA in the near future and potentially soft brick my phone if I don't either revert back to stock or install a 4.3 ROM which disables the update app. I'm not sure if the ROM i'm currently running has this disabled or not.
Thanks in advance for any help,
eugenikz
Beanstown or sophisticated rom will be the official stock 4.3, however your gonna have to flash the Official MJ9 firmware via Odin. You could take the OTA but the bootloader will be locked afterwards. There is root available with the OTA stock but you won't be able to load a custom recovery therefore no more custom roms.
+1. I did this with my note2. Was the same as yours. I'm now on sophisticated 2.0 highly recommended. I also updated recovery to Phils, which seems to be the conventional wisdom for flashing 4.3.

I recently got a Galaxy Note II and have been flashing ROMs for a while on other phones (RAZR MAXX, GNex, and more)
My Note II is currently on 4.1.2 and I've been reading a lot of threads and I understand I can use CASUAL to root, unlock, and load TWRP which is great!
My question is that I see a lot of threats with 4.3 ROMS so how do I update my Note II to the MJ9 4.3 update and keep TWRP or some custom bootloader so I can flash custom ROMS. From all that I've read, the 4.3 update comes with a new bootloader that's locked and unable to be unlocked currently.
The best info I've come across is this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=49555505&postcount=6
which is saying to download the Firmware: http://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=23269279319198557 (toltevzw_mj9_official_firmware.tar.md5.7z) and flash it, that should update me from 4.1.2 to 4.3 while keeping TWRP and root? Or am I missing something in how to get to 4.3 and flash all the newest ROMs?

Most all of the 4.3 based rom threads have a link to a partial firmware update that you need to flash in Odin in order for Wifi to work correctly.
The partial firmware update will not lock your bootloader.

If I were you, I would take these steps:
1. Root and unlock bootloader with Casual's latest.
2. Head to Alliance Rom build 23 and download the mj9 firmware there. (This will not cause you to lose root or lock your bootloader) Install using odin. From there you will be updated to mj9 firmware, but will not be updated to 4.3. You will still be on 4.1.2 until you flash a 4.3 rom via TWRP or CWM.
3. Choose any of the available 4.3 Roms of your liking. Make sure you update your TWRP to the latest via goomanager or another alternate way.

Hi guys,
Although I'm not a totally newbie, I mean I installed Honeycomb on the OG Desire watch out for the volume tho, but I'm totally new to the Huawei thingq, although I've owned a Ascend Mate 7 and a P9+ I never went as far as looking for root and custom ROMs, and I'm specially not educated in the whole architectural changes that treble brings.
So I've a few questions, and hopefully someone can clear some of them for me.
1- Unlocked BL means no OTA right? Also not via Firmware Finder?
2- Running stock, if a new update pops up on the web, I download the .zip and extract everything. I can flash the systems but I'm missing lots of things there, fixes on the kernel, and other stuff. Should I flash them all? Is it recommend? Or are the risks to high? Should I wait for the specific rom to be signed for my IMEI or am I okay as long as I choose the right branding (Europe for me).
3- And having magisk root... Does will it make flashing a new update any complicated?
4 - (and the last), when running a AOSP rom, is it possible/recommend to extract a new stock kernel and flash it when an update is available?
Thanks a lot
Hello. Please be gentle, I'm old and have been here for many years.
I'm trying to flash my SM-T510 (2109) back to the official firmware using Odin. I cannot find the 6-2010 R11 official firmware, not modified, and what I did find I am concerned about as the site was sketchy. The site is samfw . com
The zip I have has BL, AP, and 2 CSC files that are really close in size. So I am confused as to what files to select in Odin.
AP_T510XXU5CUF4_CL21910157_QB40916586_REV02_user_low_ship_meta_OS11.tar.md5 is AP.
BL_T510XXU5CUF4_CL21910157_QB40916586_REV02_user_low_ship.tar.md5 is BL
CSC_OMC_OXM_T510OXM5CUF2_CL21910157_QB40739703_REV02_user_low_ship.tar.md5 ??
HOME_CSC_OMC_OXM_T510OXM5CUF2_CL21910157_QB40739703_REV02_user_low_ship.tar.md5 ??
From this point I should be able to hit start and go get a snack?
Any help is appreciated.

Were you able to find a valid source for the firmware? After installing a Samsung update the other day on my SM-T510, my favorite nav app crashed because of the computer voice it uses (a known issue with TomTom GO after the update). I too found what is supposed to be stock firmware running Android 11 here (https://samfrew.com) with a security patch month of June, and have it flashed and running. But like you I'm not sure about the source. I did install No Root Firewall and so far haven't seen any requests that I don't like, but I'm still concerned about the source. And FWIW, your file names look identical to what I extracted.
