Upgrading OS in mobile is same like upgrading windows. Along with new user interface you can also get security updates and more additional features such as improved battery life, etc. Upgrading OS also lets you install new apps that aren't supported by older versions. I also found that games like Doodle Jump, Nin Jump, etc run more smoothly in gengerbread than in froyo.
I am not aware about CDMA version as I have a GSM model. But, I think it depends on OS (I'm not sure about it though).

Just spoke with the Samsung Technical staff with regards to the upgrade to my phone which is also a Samsung Galaxy POP CDMA. You will have to call them and they will give you details of the nearest service center where you will have to take your phone and get the upgrade to Gingerbread. They are currently not allowing it from their website.

Hey guys,
This is my 1st post here ever.
The only time I fiddled around with rooting an android phone was more than a year ago when I had an AT&T Samsung infuse. I followed very detailed instructions on how to root it and upgrade it. It worked like a charm and I'm so grateful to all of you experts trying to help newbies.
A friend of mine went to China last month and brought me a Samsung s3 clone.
The phone is factory unlocked BUT
1. It doesn't have the original google play application. It has a similar logo which leads to a Chinese app store.
2. Google mail account application is missing
3. The phone supports only Chinese, Korean and English languages. (I'd like to use it in different ones)
So I need to re-install a good Android version that has all the Android features that I'm missing
I thought it would be easy to find instructions on how to do it it here, but unfortunately I wasn't lucky to find a direct and clear step -by step instructions for my phone model
Phone: Samsung Galaxy S3 GT-i9300
Model #: mtk6515_ics2
Android version: 4.0.4
Base band version: MAUI.11AMD.W12.22.SP.V14
Kernel Version: 3.0.13
[email protected]#1
Build Number: ALPS.ICS2.MP.V1.18
Custom Build Version: V15.12
Please help!
Is there anybody out there?
Is there anybody out there? :crying:
Hey man,
unfortunately I don't think anyone can help you rooting/changing roms as it's a replica and there isn't a real development for it.
BUT as for the play store you can DL the apk directly from here:
http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/05/14/download-latest-google-play-store-4-1-6/
As for the phone language, after installing the google play store look for:
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jp.co.c_lis.ccl.morelocale&hl=en
and choose the language of your wishing. That is in case that your phone supports it.
If you mean by google mail account the gmail app then in that case:
http://www.androidpolice.com/2013/0...ith-slide-out-navigation-and-brand-new-inbox/
BTW for future references - try to make a search for yourself I'm sure you could've find those in less than a minute
Cheers.
Thanx
Thanx a lot for your effort and concern.
I downloaded the latest google play apk, I installed it, but it wasn't working apparently because "google login service" and "google services framework" were missing too!
So I downloaded them, but they needed to be installed in system/apps.
I downloaded "root explorer" which should help me accessing the system folder.
I copied&pasted the apps in system/apps but a message says "your phone should be rooted first in order to paste" came out.
So back to square1
On the other hand, I tried to disactivate some of the annoying Chinese applications that came with the system using "root app delete", and guess what?
I get the same message that I should root this phone first.
So how can I root this bloody thing???
Yeah that is sounds pretty frustraing..Well I guess you won't find here a "how to root s3 replica" guide and personally I wouldn't try and rooting the device as it could easily brick it.
I suggest you go to the store and tell them that you've got a phone with no option to download apps, or connect to your Google account...
Hope you'll sort things up with the store soon

I wish I could follow your advise. The shop is 4000 miles away in China.
There is a google store app installed, but it's fake. It has a similar icon but with different proportions. The problem is that it's in Chinese and it deals with chinese applications.
Oh that is unreachable, but maybe can you contact them via Email etc..?
Anyways I found this thread I think you'll see it much more beneficial than my help as I don't have experience on rooting replicas and it's focused on your device:

This method is for i9300 mtk6575
Will it work on my phone which is i9300 mtk6515_ics2?
What are my chances to brick the phone if I follow this procedure?

If you flash recovery from different device, there's a big chance you brick it
Try to use MTKDroidTools to root it, its pretty safe.
As @lolet said correct, you can possibly brick your phone...
That's why I advise you to ask in the thread I've linked onto, there are fellows there with much more experience than myself with rooting your device.
I guess in the last couple of years I've flashed hundreds of times but only on samsung, htc and motorolas.

please this firmware link ,,,
Howdy. I got a sweet replacement for my Acer Iconia A500 recently, after 5 yrs it finally bit the bit_bucket in the sky>
Attached a screen shot of system page
MODEL : Prime10ES
processor : UltraOcta-A83
Android : 5.1.1
Firmware : v2.1rc3
Kernel ver : 3.4.39 [email protected]#40
build # : LMY48B.20150813
Anyone have any idea on the following:
a) A custom rom for this system
b) the actual maker of the tablet
c) whether it can simply be rooted?
d) any other assistance (like maybe a forurm??)
This was a tablet purchased at Target for $120.
I ask because at minimum putting this into a forum would have helped me when I searched before buying to see if I could root it.
original: with picture here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/general/xda-assist/visual-land-prime10es-octa-core-android-t3282658/post64570685#post64570685
Not bad, runs much faster then the iconia, but need to still get rid of junkware.
cheers to all and to all a happy New year!

wasn;t happy about it, but installed a root-program, need to boot up and see what it was, will PM you.
It does root it, but still not great. but at least it's rooted.
Did you ever fine out the root program I have some apps if Im able to root this thing...it came encrypted by default because of Marshmallow update... There a kernel manager that requires root I use it on my note 3 the to speed up the processor that might help
Hey all ...
I juz received a software update on my Note 7 (SM-N930FD) ... it's 196Mb update and has the latest Android Security patch with many UI changes and tweaks like changed drop down notifications (like Android Nougat), smaller app icons in folders etc etc ...
Important thing is that after the update, the over all smoothness has been much much fluent and battery life is significantly improved ...
Taste of Nougat ....

Nice how is the ram management on the new update ?
[SM-N930FD] Download Firmware N930FXXU1BPH6 - first update 19/08/2016
Firmware info
Model name: Galaxy Note 7 (Dual SIM)

Country: Vietnam

I can confirm the device is much smoother since upgrading, you can now change the screen resolution in the settings menu. Battery life seems much better then before. Ram management seems the same but I need to play with it a bit more.
Nice sounds like a good update
I hope t-mobile gets it soon!
Ram Management is improved but No Huge Improvement is what I can see ...
Aggressive background apps shut down is not there now but it still needs work to be done in order to meet the standard of multitasking that the device of this calibre and specs should have ...
But overall ... This new update seems to be what the phone would have been carrying out of box as most of us bought our phones way earlier than the official launch by Samsung in our corresponding regions ...
Finger Print ...
Finger Print is hell faster with this new update ...
Juz tap it when the screen is locked and unlocking is done straight from it ...
Very fast indeed ...
Huge Improvement ...
Can this be loaded to a N930F? Thanks!!!
can any one post the video... with new software update
I just got my device and updated it straight away and performed a factory reset. I also have the duos version but I think it only presented me with a 186Mb update.
Hi, need some guidence here please. So I just flashed the XSG firmware to my N930F and it's a multi CSC - take a look at the screenshots. The installed firmware is APGK but it seems there's the new BPH6 firmware available, but my phone is not finding it. Is this normal? Could the update be available for another CSC code but not mine?
Thanks for the help!!
I'm getting mixed signals here. In one thread, there's people saying games work very poorly after the update - but everyone saying it's working better with it - can you all report on how games are performing? Apparently you notice a difference after 10+ min of play on the octo core processor.
This BPH6 software update screw up alot of Note 7 N930FD for Singapore users, check the Note 7 Singapore thread, so becareful with this update.

What he said, plus the steps needed to root each version of Android changes. So it is absolutely impossible to know until the time comes. It had always been best practice to avoid taking an update until it is known about the rootability of that firmware.

I love the tablet, bought two of the 4GB/64GB for $149 each directly from Samsung site.
Well worth the money, I got them for gaming and watching videos, web surfing, really great tablets.

Impreza thank you for making me rest.....I've been surfing online finding answers if that tablet can be rooted...please let me know if you guys found more info..thank you
Bought this thinking it was an upgrade from my Galaxy tab a 8.0 but since it's one ui core it's missing many features. Trying to trade it in now but it's past the 15 days. There's no smart view to mirror to any tv easily, theres no network file manager in my files (can't access G drive or any others).
Just make sure you know what you're buying. It's not lite because of being smaller than A7, it's a stripped down OS and the features can't be installed afterwards (have tried many apks). I didn't want a big tablet, wanted a mid size tablet with upgraded CPU.

I agree with that. If you are sure you know what you're buying, the experience of the A7 Lite isn't bad. One UI Core is the same stripped down OS in the regular A7 (Snapdragon 662) and in the A7 Lite. CPU works very fluid if you tweak some settings (default One UI animations are awfully slow). Battery lasts A LOT (8,5-9 hours SOT). Smart View was removed and changed in all One UI devices with the upgrade to Android 11/One UI 3.0 (regular and Core), and it was replaced with Google Cast native screen mirroring (ergo Chromecast).
Use Solid Explorer or Amaze if you want to access network file places. It works well on my side.
Despite being a Mediatek tablet, you wont't find anything MTK-related in the tablet. Samsung has its software very well masked. And I think that, in Helio P22T, Mediatek vulnerabilities have been fixed with security monthly patches.

Just wanted to chime in here and say that I successfully rooted the tablet using the same method for the Lite as the regular A7 using THIS GUIDE. Obviously it tripped Knox but I needed it rooted for my use case. One note is that when you download the stock firmware with an application like Samsung Firmware Downloader, make sure you choose the correct Model and Region. These can be found in the settings on the tablet.
Is it possible to enable Google Discover for default launcher?
I bought Galaxy Tab A7 Lite LTE SM-T225 3/32GB and it works quite nice. Small and good device. Would be cool to see on it clean Android or LineageOS (fingers crossed). There is not too many ~8 inch tablets today with the latest Android version.

I've been working on porting TWRP for AOSP Android 11 to this device but have run into some roadblocks.
I currently have TWRP running but touch is not working and I can't seem to get Data R/W with the current tools available. It's possible it's an error in my build or maybe a workflow problem.
If anyone out there with more experience is doing the same or wants to help me sort some things out, please let me know.
I purchased the SM-T225 LTE 4/64GB model, a good device, but there was a problem on the latest T225XXU1AUH5 & UI3 firmware, specifically with a modem... after the end of the call, the mobile network disappears, and after rebooting Baseband Unknown Flashing does not help, only resetting the data helps, but before the next call... The device had Root rights, but is now installed stock firmware and blocked the bootloader, but the problem remains... At the same time, if you install the old modem UDA,UE3,UF2 , it works without problems... Has anyone encountered anything like this?
My only disappointment is that knox is included. I came from tab A 8.0 2019 which has no knox
