Hello,
I updated my phone with the Unofficial 2.2 from Kies that came out for the Rogers Captivate in January. I heard there was an official one released a while later. Kies says I have the latest version - but was wondering if anyone knows if there is a difference in the software.
My phone has been laggy and even after a factory reset. So not sure if the official update will help.
the update is the same
Samsung just released it before Rogers could announce it
Only official updates are released through Kies. An unofficial release would be a custom ROM flash done using CWM or ROM Manager.

You asking if you can OTA the update when its officially released?
If your running a custom ROM and kernel than you can't OTA it. If your just rooted and are running the stock ROM I believe you can OTA it but it will make you lose root.
If your running a custom ROM, you might as well just flash a custom FroYo ROM thats based off the Official FroYo one when its released, we all know the Dev's here make things better.

If you are running a completely stock Epic with no modifications to the kernel/ROM etc., then you will receive an OTA notification when it is available. If not, you will have to wait until the new .tar comes out in order to flash it with Odin, or you can go back to complete stock to receive the OTA.
Ok thats all i needed to no ty all for the fast responses! YOUR THE BEST GUYS! and yea im all stock so ill be getting it ota dont no the release date yet but im looking forward to it this month (I HOPE! lol) anyway just wanted to say ty and keep up your good work guys i check back very often and see wats out and new ;P
I've got the Windows mobile 6.1 ROM version 5.2.20764 from 2008
There is an update available on the european HTC website. This will update the device to 5.05.478.1
This update is from 2009, but it looks like an older version (05 and 2). Is this a newer update or is it better to keep the old version? There is also an update to 5.10.172.2 but this update is from Vodaphone which is not my provider. Is this update newer and safe to download (so I can still call and stuff)?
yeach, all update original rom already in http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/HTC_Raphael_WM6.1_ROMs
Thanks, but does this mean I have the latest ROM? Because I don't know if it's updated since it's bought, because I'm not the first owner.

Hi
I rooted my phone, so I can't update with Samsung Gear manager anymore. (Any way around this btw?)
So I can't update my gear and I brought it around 3 months ago (where I rooted it the same day)
So is their any way I can see the latest firmwares?
Also, I'm pretty new to this.. Tizenmod is just a custom rom, just like CM for an phone, right? So it Tizenmod updated?
Thanks in advance
The latest release is R380XXU0BNE5
I "think" Tizenmod is based on it. And yes it's a customized rom.

What date was it released? "I got my Gear 2 in June and once a week or so try to update it, and it always says I have the latest software. So that means two things. Automatic updates are happening and I didn't notice, or Samsung is being amazingly lazy.
Firmware-update R380XXU0BNK2 (SER) available
Spotted this on the Samsung fota cloud test server. It's version CQLJ which means it's not a beta version.
new fw is BRA+0-9/A-F (when build in 2018)

Yes, for sure, I forgot about 7.1
Major OS 7.0 for S8 - A, 7.1 - B (skip for S8), 8.0 - C
R - 2018 year
A - January
0-9/A-F - build number
Knowing samsung if its released to some european country today it'll hit america in around a month, and canada in 2 months, then a month later the s9 is released... thanks samsung.
I wish Samsung would fix their update scheme. There is Android Fragmentation, then there is Android Samsung Fragmentation. Why is the Galaxy Tab A 2016 getting the January security update and my unlocked S8 is on November...
Also the latest Oreo Beta is on December, I know security updates are only small but as has been seen on the January update with the Pixels they can cause issues, so I would be sceptical to an Oreo release even being up to date.
Samsung needs to stop carriers turning their phones into bloated messes. My phone, before I debranded, came with 17 applications installed by the carrier, none of which I have any use for or have used!
It really isn't that hard to get this right, and it's what we are all asking for! Simplification and transparency, not waiting and waiting and waiting! Some customers with Note 8's in the UK are still on August Security Patch. That's what £800 gets you, negligence.

It's only a reference site so nothing to download from it.
http://fota-cloud-dn.ospserver.net/firmware/BTU/SM-G950F/version.test.xml
I just downloaded it from here (Snapdragon only!) : https://samsung.firmware.science/download?url=48927/1488/SS-G950USQS2BQL1-to-U2CRA1-UP
Boot into recovery and install update.zip.
I haven't flashed it yet as I don't want to lose root.

I tried to install BQL1 on my G9500, which is a Snapdragon model. But it shows secure check fail.

Do you know if the version.xml (not version.test.XML) update in real-time? Thats mean, would I be able to see a new firmware when Samsung pushes a new update to my device?
I see they have jumped back to CRAB version from CRAL in the test server. Wonder if that is in prep for the release to beta testers.

Beck up to CRAN now. Lol
And now to CRAP. It must be the final

Just spotted that. I hope CRAP isn't a bad sign. Lol.
Whole set of Bixby got updated. Is that a sign to prepare the phone for an Oreo upgrade?
