[Q] - General Questions and Answers

Hi .
Few months ago i bought a Galaxy nexus from the site popular electronics . on the site they did not specified that the phone is the SC-04d Docomo (but somehow unlocked). it came with ics 4.01. I want to upgrade to jelly bean or root the phone. I used to get the updates but no more.
Is there any way to upgrade or root this phone? (im with simple mobile - uses t-mobile's network)

GT-I9100G Help please ??!

Hello XDA
I'm a little new to the whole android scene and I ( stupidly ) bought a Galaxy S2 I9100G version not knowing it would have lower performance and much harder to upgrade to ICS so I have a few questions because I want to manually upgrade it to ICS 4.0.3 and Kies doesn't work at all so my question is:
What does the basebands differ from one to another and if I'm to install an official update to my "I9100GDZKH5" which firmware should I install to be suitable to it.
or should I choose it based on the kernel version whick is "2.6.15.7 [email protected] #2"
BTW I live in Egypt and the official ICS firmware still hasn't come out

Try Flashing a Custom ROM. In order to do this you will have to Root your phone and your phone will get warranty void. The decision lies upon you.

Thanks for your reply starbriganza but I'm trying to find a way to manually install official firmware and all I need to know is how to pick the appropriate firmware for my Galaxy S2

Samsung has officially released ICS 4.0.4 now. You can google it and install it via odin. Just put the downloaded .tar file in the PDA section and flash it.

[Note 3| N9005] Does downgrading the Android version downgrade the Modem as well?

I bought a used Samsung Galaxy Note 3 (N9005) recently, and it was updated to Lollipop 5.0. And after few days I found out that the Phone Radio/Modem was not functioning well (I almost had full 4G coverage when I was using my J7 with the same SIM card, and now it's EDGE. What the ....! ).
I'm not an Android or any type of Mobile expert (not a good English speaker at least ). So as their were rumors saying that the Lollipop update for N9005 had many issues, I removed that and installed the CM13 ROM just to find that it was not the solution for my problem. So I searched the web for almost a day and now I think that the problem is with the Modem and CM13 didn't change it.
My current Baseband version: N9005XXUGBPB1
I was going to downgrade my phone to Android Kitkat 4.4.2, hoping that would downgrade the Radio/Modem as well and fix the problem. But then I got this wise idea to ask some wise guys in this forum if this is gonna work or not?

galaxy tab 8.9 china model sch-p739 stuck at andoid 3.2

Hello
I have the Samsung galaxy tab 8.9 sch-739 this is the china model and I don't think it was sold anywhere else in the world because I didn't find any mention of this model in xda. this tablet is as good as dead because Samsung didn't update it to android ice cream sandwich. the last available update for this model is android 3.2.
I've tried to revive it by flashing multiples gt-pt7300 custom ROMs such as cm 11 and asop nougat " same tablet but from different region". these ROMs worked perfectly for the china model except for the sound. I can't for the life of me understand why the sound didn't work. I've looked everywhere from xda to Chinese forums and did a ton of research but to no avail.
it would be such a waste to let this tablet die off especially since there's a decent chance that this sound problem can be fixed if someone knowledgeable enough looks into it
This tablet was released 22 March, 2011, according to Samsung its Android is upgradable to Android 4: You use Kies 2.6 to do so.

Are you sure it's the this specific model " sch-739" ? cause I'm pretty sure it never got the android 4 update. other galaxy tab 8.9 tabs on the hand did get that update
I'm not sure.
My recommendation: Post Samsung your issue.
