The only problem is that you're not flashing the latest firmware, do you? yeah maybe you do but not the latest one what i mean then? let me tell you.. even if your previous firmware was example/ android 7.0 and installing 7.0 will fail why? answer: you need to go to sammobile [for example if your device is Samsung becasue sammobile is the best for samsung firmwares just make sure to download the firmware from there if your device is samsung } and check the date of firmware like the latest firmware location doesnt matter just downoad the latest one, you know what i mean right? for example you need android 7.0 you dont just have to download any 7.0 firmware, thats wrong you have to check the date of firmware and download the latest 7.0 firmware, thats it and i hope you fix your device asap cuz i know the feeling thanks for reading this and good luck !

Hi guys,
Sorry if this is a really stupid question but I'm finding it hard to get answers.
Basically I don't think I would use the features on a rooted phone and I don't want to take the risk of rooting it, all I want is to get the updates as soon as samsung release them and not have to wait for my network. Is it easy to install the official samsung firmware and if so can it be done without rooting and is it safe? Also where can you download the firmware and know it's a safe one too use.
The link is a screenshot of my s2 about page if that helps?

Thank you for your help

Official samsung releases are installed through KIES. Unofficial, are installed through Odin. You can download the unofficial releases through samfirmware.com
But kies will only keep updating me when my network release it?
Like now I am on 2.3.3 but there is a newer version than that.
If I get the samsung stock version and install it with odin will kies keep me updated when samsung release a new one?

Do you read what's written on the screen when you go into download mode? Odin is the official method of flashing the official firmware on devices at ALL Samsung service centers. It's true that official firmwares to users are only released through KIES but the same official firmwares are found the firmware thread. They are from Samsung, off their very own server and have been packaged for use with Odin.
edit: OP, look in the dev section for information on how to flash your firmware with Odin.
Hey guys,
I recently rooted my S2 and installed a custom ROM because i was sick of waiting for Samsung to release ICS in my region ( Also i love stock ICS ).
Recently they released ICS in my region so i went to sammobiles to download the firmware.
My Question is that do PDA and CSC change for each new version of android released or am i supposed to wait for the firmware with the same PDA and CSC as the version i was using.
Also I wanted to know if I could flash firmware of different region on the phone without it having any errors
Thank you.

u can flash any stock rom ...
The only small issue you might face if you flash stock firmware for a different region is you may not be able to get OTA updates for your region when they're released. But it's easy enough to flash them via Odin so this isn't a massive problem.

Hello
I flashed the latest firmware available for my S6 edge (SM-G925F) : G925FXXU3DPDP (XEF).
I've never used Android 5.1.1 on my phone and I asks to you if downgrade is possible at this point (latest BL I think) and if yes, how ?
Thanks you for your further replies
Bye.
I Think Once u Flashed The latest Firmware U can't Go back
Because Of bootloader
Bt U can try Download Android LP And boot loader And put Ur phone in Download Mode Flash with odin
i updated on 6.02...
didn´t like it...
flashed back to 5.1.1 stock without problems (odin)
Hello poci,
You were running with which firmware ?
It's easy to go back to lollipop?
I'm reading some comments off people wich say No, ando some less who say Yes.
i made an OTA update from 5.1.1 to 6.0.2... but i didn´t like the battery drain on 6.0.2......(or 6.0.1 i don´t know anymore)
after clean install of 6.0.2....there was no change at all...
then i went back to 5.1.1 by flashing a stock 5.1.1. firmware with odin...no trouble or anything else...
If flash fails, is my device will be hardbricked ???
if you have the right firmware...i would say "no"
so why should it fail?
i used this firmware for my o2 edge
G925FXXU3QOLD_G925FTEF3QOL1_G925FXXU3QOJB_HOME.tar
Beceause newest bootloaders blocks downgrade, you was in which firmware on Marshmallow ?
don´t know exactly...60.1 then
when 6.0.2 blocks downgrade...
Recently bought a used samsung galaxy s9 plus. It is stuck on android 8. When I try to update it it says that I'm already on the latest software.
When I tried to search for firmware to flash manually I got confused because CSC is XAA which refers to unlocked version but currently installed firmware is of some carrier I guess...
Can anyone please suggest me the correct firmware which I need to flash in order to get Android 9 with one UI.
See attached screenshot for exact number firmware installed.
Flash a higher binary firmware using Odin. Make sure you use full 4 file firmware. Also remember to backup your files

You won't see the OEM toggle on the "U" varient as the bootloader can't be unlocked. You do not need this to just flash official filmware anyway.
Factory resetting the phone may fix the OTA update issue you are facing, this will wipe the phone so back up everything important. If not head to SamMobile or Updato.com to download the latest filmware and flash it with Odin.
