Hi. I currently have a GT-8010. I want to change the firmware to the US version. How do I go about doing that? Thank you. (I have experience with rooting, but I haven't seen any explicit answers or suggestions.

So you just want it to say its an 8013? Modify build.prop with something like rom tool box

Thanks for your reply. I want it to be the 8013 because that's the US version and it comes with an app I really want. (The KNO textbooks app). It's only available on the US version. I have seen the two rooting methods, but neither explicitly says if I can change the 8010 to US firmware.

so just edit your build.prop, change the stuff from 8010 to 8013 and that will let you install that app. That was what I did to get the 4.2 camera working on this tablet before other librarys were put out to have it working right, switched to make it think it was a nexus.
So make those changes and then install the app, making a backup first of course

You've been very helpful. I will root and try this method. Thanks for your replies.
Edit: Is there a guide about changing build props you could point me to? I've never done this particular thing before. Thanks again.

Thank you. I'll do that. Do I use method 2? Sorry for the bother, but the thread that Zedomax posted is a bit cluttered. Can I get some step by step instructions? (Though I know there aren't that many steps )

Firmwares and locations

Lets say I live in the Philippines, and I want to flash the latest firmware for my phone BUT IT IS a RUSSIAN firmware. Is it OK and safe for me? Is my SIM Card gonna be affected? Or are there any other risks and downsides?
Another fast question, when the time comes that I will flash RUSSIAN FIRMWARE, is it gonna boot on Russian language by default? Can I change it?
Thanks.

I did on mine, I9070.. I does boot in Russian but you can change to english if you want, there are alot of languages there to chose from. I didn't have any issues with my sim card either..
Hope it helps.
Peace.

Some firmwares have limited number of languages to choose from, but I guess most of them have english.
If you find a way to back up your current firmware before flashing a new one, that would be the safest I think,
I have a different phone than yours, but I had a dead phone after flashing firmware I was told was for my phone (but obviously wasnt).
I regret now that if I knew about the cwm recovery rom earlier I could have backed up my original rom and saved myself a lot of trouble to get it working again.

If there are any hardware differences in the phone, like it's from att with some modifics done, I think flashing a different firmware can completely screw up your phone.

Firmware made for a specific region might have a different CSC code than your country. In some cases this is said can affect your radio services.
you can read more about it in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1659588

Hm..in my backups (used Titanium Backup) I have a file named CSC...so is it possible if I flash the RUSSIAN rom and restore my old CSC file?

Has anyone tried this I9500XWUBMG7. Seems to have a later build number than the latest India INU firmware

Hi,
I am living in Thailand. I just checked right now and "the number of roll-out updates has been exceeded." It means that i have to update via KIES like last time.
I will install and report.

Cool! I'm going to try it tonight. Will be interested to hear back if its a stock rom without any extra apps, and if the UI is quick

Need a Google Drive link, this Hotfile download is awful.

I installed it last night and really no noticeable difference to me between MG7 and the latest India FW. Been super busy with work so haven't put it through it's paces yet. Will report back when I test it more.

This firmware is a bit faster than others, and the smearing issue is almost fixed!!!!

the best firmware so far.. i like the look of the bounce effect in the volume levels, i feel the device more cold, more fast

Any one kind enough to post this somewhere else other than hotfile please?

It is has the Myanmar Language support...That's all changes:laugh:

The only difference I have noticed is my phone seems to be running a bit warmer. I'll keep it... I was on the Indian rom before.

Can someone please tell how can I know which firmware is newer as in BMG1 , BMG5 , BMG5, BMG9 ? How can I find out which firmware is the latest? Thanks.
Oh and one more thing, I am running Indian firmware bmg5 right now, can I flash this bmg7 over it? Will I need to factory reset my device after installing this Thailand firmware? And does this firmware improve the camera launch lag issue ?

Yes it's there, I am suffering from premature senility and confusion as I was convinced that last time I downloaded it the header said for specific SKUs and model names.
One follow up question you guys may be able to help me with...
This is to replace an inifinity that I have just sold as it didnt have a dock. That one is running Cromix 5.4 (not F2FS) and the guy who's bought it wants to downgrade it back to stock (no idea why, but am sure he will want to go back, once he's run it for a short time), does he need to reflash the firmware for the original SKU (ie the US one) or can he use WW now?

He should use the US one if that is his SKU. Just flash the zip in the zip in recovery.

Guys before assuming or saying no and calling someone a loser. Why not inquire. He may be talking about the sammobile website and having trouble with finding his version.
