I need to know how to update my phone without odin. - Samsung Galaxy S9+ Questions & Answers

Hello, I have a s9 plus from the att company, which is bought in usa, the official att page has never been updated to me, they say they are on android 9 but I only have the android that came from the factory.
Searching there from other XDA forums I found that through recovery I could update by update.zip files that if they work out of firmware. Science from there I have android 9 beta 4 and I really want to get the beta or upgrade to one that is not beta either android 8 or 9, without ODIN, my phone can't flash and I can't see the option of oem unlock. Odin doesn't work for me.
Anyone know where to get the update.zip of the new versions of android 9? .. I need a lot of help this had not happened to me with my previous phones ...

[Q] Is my Tab's firmware genuine?

Hi everyone
So I have Tab 10.1 which I bought in June... Later on I rooted it, a while ago before the touchwiz firmware update came out. Once that came out, I tried to update it numerous times (im not sure whether the tablet was still rooted or not when I tried to update) and the update failed continuously... Anyhow, don't ask me why I did this but I erased my system in the bootloader!!! I didnt realise that it was literally the OS I was clearing.... Eventually I found a firmware file on the internet for it and flashed it... Previously my Tab was running the HMJ37 UEKMB firmware, now it is running the Europe HMJ37 XXKFC firmware which has touchwiz already...
Now what I want to know is, is this firmware genuine, and will I be able to recieve future updates on it such as ICS when they are released? If not is there any place where I can find the UEKMB firmware to flash to my Tab??

It doesn't matter if it's genuine, don't use stock firmwares anyways. Custom ROMS are better. Wait till someone on this forum develops a sick ICS ROM.
Please use the Q&A Forum for questions Thanks
Moving to Q&A
So, what is the coolest rom available at the moment for my Tab?? Just rooted it but duno what rom I could install.... Preferably one with more customized UI on top of TW... I saw a few pictures of home screens set about the windows phone 7 look... Is there a rom for that?

You can get samsung official firmware from them: http://m.samsung.com/us/support/downloads
But I prefer "In Paris" by Task650 and Phantom.

Need help upgrading to MM (beta or official) TL01H

Hi there folks. I got my Huawei Honor 7 phone for two months ago and I'm loving it, currently rooted it and everything except being unable to install Xposed on it, which I'll get to soon.
Now, the main problem is that I'm unable to update my phone in any way, not via the Updater app nor Local update, so I'm kinda stuck. (Wanting to download the YODA ROM 6.0 B250 to install Xposed with)
Is there some problem with it being the Chinese model? I currently have B173 installed and I assume I can't download an European update.app and upgrade it or? Do I need to debrand it? How?
Need some serious help, everything is confusing at the moment.
EDIT: Fixed with downgrading, suddenly got to upgrade via the OTA then!

GT-N8000 update

Hello all
I friend of mine donated his Galaxy Tab 10.1 to my son.
Now I need to update to the latest possible firmware. Not even YouTube kids works on the old firmware.
When trying to do OTA upgrade it mentions no upgrade available. I chatted to Samsung support and they suggest using Kies. Sadly this tablet isn't compatible with Kies 3 and I can't seem to locate older versions.
Can anyone assist or guide me in the correct direction
With thanks

If the tablet says that there's no new firmware, then there's no new firmware available.
You could root it, install a custom recovery and flash the latest Android 7.1.1 ROM from decatf if you want.
However, this tablet is getting pretty old by now and youtube just doesn't run super smooth without overclocking (and even then there are no guarantees). If you want my honest opinion, I suggest you look for a second hand Nexus 7 2013. It still runs smoothly today and has a very active developers community.

Yet Kies finds FW. Thanks for your input

Wait a minute.. You have a GT N8000, this forum is for the GT P7500 /7510. Normally the latest Android for your tablet is 4.4.2. If you want to root it you will want to look at the specific forum for your type of tablet.
And a factory reset can sometimes do wonders for the speed of your device, if you don't mind loosing everything on it.

Possible to flash SM-205W (Canada) to stock ROM with Android 10?

Hey guys,
Canada has not received the Android 10 update for the A20 (SM-205W). Is it possible to flash the stock ROM from another country? I'm looking for a stock Samsung Android 10 experience as I would be using this to test my apps, so no custom ROMs.
Did you get this figured out?
I am kinda looking for the same thing lol. I have SM-A205W from Canada on Android 10. I am trying to flash stock rom but it has frp lock and oem lock on. So i have tried to find a combination firmware that works to no avail. Did you manage to get yours flashed?
No sorry, I never needed to since it got the Android 10 update!

Any way to roll back to Android 11?

I'm really wanting to roll back to Android 11. Two months ago I was able to roll back to Android 11 from 12 using Odin, but it seems the latest update or two has completely locked the bootloader from earlier versions..
As someone more than familiar and comfortable with getting root, unlocking bootloader, changing roms and using Odin on all my previous galaxy phones it seems the S21 is a black spot for that kind of talk. Is there any way to downgrade?
hello, for downgrading your phone's operating system version you need to know, what the binary version your phone has (now it is usually 5) and you have to search for a stock rom version with android 11 with the same binary. You can find it on sites like samfw and so one
