I noticed a lot of users discussing firmwares in plenty of threads. Seeing that you guys lacked a dedicated thread to have general conversation on firmwares and their usage, I have created one.
Feel free to post details regarding official firmwares, news, changelists, your review/experience etc

Thats What We Really Need
Is it still the case that the German release gets the official firmware updates before the UK model, was looking at the 32Gb model on the German Amazon site?

Use CF Auto Root to root your phone, read the instructions carefully!
Updated to latest MG5 update.
Changes I felt so far:
- Phone feels faster.
- More free RAM (Screenshot attached, after normal usage and no clearing of memory).
- Camera opens faster.
- Weather widget still get cleared but it comes back instantly.
Been running EE EVR MG7 for about a week and I've noticed that when it goes into sleep - WIFI disconnects.
This means it uses up my 4G data when the screen is not on. It does reconnect when the screen comes on though.
Anyone else experienced the same? A friend of mine moved up to DBT MGA and said he got the same thing (for some reason one of the programs killed 1Gb of data in one night lol!)
Was thinking of moving to BTU MGA if its any different? thanks in advance.

Do not own this phone, so the answer may vary.
But afaik, Android defaults to cellular connection in sleep. There is an option in your wifi settings which allows you to select "wifi-connected" during sleep.
Search around in wifi and network related settings.
Switch it to "never"

The best way to find out is probably to read the thread, or at least the first post and the last load of recent pages. From what I have read/seen it seems to be very good and certainly usable for daily use. I don't think you should accept (or even receive) any OTA updates. As its essentially a custom ROM its probably safer to let the developer create a new update to flash. I have downloaded the 4.2.2 version but haven't installed it just yet, been hanging on for a new 4.3 version.

Hello! I restored my Tab 7 plus using ODIN and the P6210XXKL2_OXEKK1_16G firmware found in the development forum thread, but now Kies does not see any firmware version? Is there any way I can fix this, so I can push updates via Kies? Thanks in advance!
Under "About device" it shows Build Number HTJ85B P6210XXKL2 and Kernel version 2.6.36-P6210XXKL2-CL583761 [email protected] #3
Also, I updated to the latest version of KIES, but still nothing.
# days ago updated the firmware and "killed most of my apps.
Somehow the update while connected to my PC, when finished, most of my apps stopped working ( force to close). Had to reinstall them all.
I have the same problem except for im on kk3... Not sure if thats the most recent but it was the only stock firmware i could find with a working download link.
Sent from my GT-P6210 using xda premium
Yeah, this is a serious bummer. Anyone know what the most recent firmware version is?
Anything new on this matter? I'm in this position also now...
Edit found the password to the US retail one.
I believe the "LA3" is the most recent update
Sent from my SPH-D700 using xda premium
Yes I realize that now. I managed to download the US retail firmware package in the dev section finally. Took me a little while to find the password for it to decrypt it though... But all is good now!
Hi, SGT newbie here...
I believe I may be in the same boat here, I bought a "manufacturer refurbished" GT-P6210 off ebay and later discovered from Samsung Support that they don't do refurbishments.
The device works fine but the main reason I got it was to run it with ICS, and of course the firmware version is not recognised in Kies.
For what it's worth...
Kernel version: 2.6.36-P6210UEKJC-CL567728
Build number: HTJ85B.UEKJC P6210UEKJC
May I ask the assembled masses here what the best way forward here is? My guess would be to learn how to root the device and then put an ICS update on that is released from this very forum?
Cheers!
David
no ICS yet, hang tight should be ny the ned of the month/start of April.. we are all hoping.
yeah, best bet would be get Odin (for windows) or Heimdall ( Linux & Mac )
find latest firmware either in development thread or sammobile.com, follow instructions and flash.
Aha... I tried the Samsung US Support live chat thing, I assumed they wouldn't mind a poor Englishman in London talking to them.
It turns out that you don't need Kies at all, they will push the updates out "OTA" if one is connected to a network via Wifi.
Do you know it took me nearly two minutes to work out that OTAS mean Over The Air ?
They said "in a month or two" for the GT-P6210 though, bummer.
I assume that the ROMs and stuff in these hallowed forums are kind of like what you do when you buy an off-the-shelf PC, ie: you spend the next day stripping all the crap out and then making a nice clean and optimised ghost image for future deployment? Or am I barking not only up the wrong tree but am in the wrong forest too?

Hi Zadeis, Please I would like to get the link for the US Retail Version because this is affecting me as well. I bought my Galaxy Tab Plus 7.0 (Wifi Only) off Amazon in a very good working condition, however I tampered with it and had to re-install it with the P6210XXKL2_OXEKK1_16G version. Now Kies doesn't show my firmware version and I can't perform any update.
I would like to get the link for the US Retails version as well as the password you that mentioned.
I also want to backup my tab before re-installing it. will it backup all my current configurations, apps, settings, files and the like?
Please reply ASAP.
Thanks.

This one is not a US firmware so that might be the problem. This did confuse me before.
Someone installed it?
I'm wondering if it's worth to upgrade from P6200XXLQ1.

Changelog bere : small changes , increase battery life and more fluid system.
Are there any bugs present or observed? Is 3G working well even if it's not your region? LQ1 works fine even if it's not my region. Thanks again.
Installed this one with Odin. Just one question the baseband still shows as P6200XXLQ1 even though Kernel is 3.0.15-P6200LQ2 and Build Number is IMM76D.XXLQ2.
Is it normal for Baseband version to still show P6200XXLQ1 or have I made an error somewhere?
I decided to flash the Philippines(SUN)(August) because it's my region and it's newer than the Open Austria firmware(July). I have to say it has better battery life. Performance wise, it got a little better based from the quadrant scores I took. Higher overall scores than LQ1 and system feels a bit more faster. Although one time, System UI forced closed for no apparent reason and it lagged so much before that but it's gone now. I have no idea what caused that.
Does your Baseband Version still show P6200XXLQ1 ?
Problems with 3G
Installed this ROM a few days ago. Everything worked well except 3G. Voice calls and SMS also worked. After a failed automatic configuration of the APN, I set it manually but without success.
So, I downgraded it to the original HC 3.2. and wait the official update for my region (Romania).

Can someone give me a suggestion?

download the stock honeycomb and flash MODEM_P6200LVJKL4_REV_04_CL1089917.tar using Odin... should get your 3g back
Works Fine
Everything works absolutely fine.. including 3g..
i dont notice any difference from the previous version in terms of performance or battery life. im talking about real world experience, not benchmark wise.
ENJOY..
It doesnt seem to be a MUST UPGRADE.
Hope it helps..
cheers.

hey pal, after the update, is your tab still unlocked? just curious because it's a carrier tailored version. i want to upgrade my open austria to globe's firmware, too.
oh, and if it doesn't have a carrier (in parentheses) beside the Country/Carrier, that would mean that it's unlocked, yes?
oh, and after this update, if you're int he philippines, will kies work? i bought my unit in HK, so i'm curious if it's because of the austrian rom that i'm getting an error from kies saying that my device does not support upgrading via kies. is it in order for me to upgrade via kies, i need to install the HK version again?
Now, that's a lot of questions. Sorry and thank you so much for the answers!

It is still unlocked. Do note that I'm using the SUN version, I think using Globe's or Smart's firmware will lock it, not sure. I am a SUN user but I tried a Smart Sim and it worked fine.
I did not see a Philippine ICS firmware without a carrier name on sammy.
Kies works here in the Philippines. It says it is the latest firmware.
Hey guys!
Just looked over at sammobile and discovered an Galaxy Note 10.1 N8000 OTA update like this Germany 11 Sep 2012 4.0.4 From N8000XXALGB To N8000XXALI2 95.1 MB
i KNOW that this is NOT the JB update but is this update similar to the N7000 Germany Update? where N7000 got a couple of new note II features like noteII gallery and so on..

Just tried it, and it failed with some system files not matching (code 7). Didn't investigate further, probably flashing the prerequisite ROM would let it pass (might have a mix here).
Taking another path now, though, given that there's a bunch of OTAs today. Going for the Philippines, starting with XWALH1, OTA to XWALI2, then OTA to XXBLI2 (4.1.1!).
Thus, topic XXALI2 closed for me...

You might save yourself the trouble... The update to XXBLI2 fails for the same reason. If I got it right, it's due to different CSCs, which in some stage causes system files to be changed in a way the OTA doesn't expect... the annoying part is, that it's files that nobody cares for, but alas, unless you want to dig them all out and adjust the ota correspondingly or change your CSC, it's a no go.
Thus, back to what I had.

Yeah, it seems we both feel for it again. Doubt I can be bothered to look through it though. Think I'll just be more patient now until someone says they've managed to get something to work.
I just downloaded the LI2 OTA update from sammobile for my LH2 (DBT) (got the LH2 via Kies update). Using Odin Mobile Pro, I flashed that OTA update without problems, LI2 (DBT) is up and running fine so far. But stick to the instructions and flashing is always on your own risk.

Thanks for pointing this out to us! These ota's are new today, yesterday there was only the one starting from XXALGB, which I hadn't a clue where to get. I'll try the one corresponding to my actual rom (XXALGA) - should also work for you, KingRamo - but wanted to ask something before:
When I tried the Philippean way, I saw that SNotes turns screen brighness to FULL whenever you start editing a note. This is fatal, as I normally don't write my notes in bright sunlight... Does this also happen on the German LI2 update?

I think snote has a separate brightness setting. when you start snote it will revert to the brightness last used when running snote.

No - And it´s getting a bit frustrating i might add.
Check out Sammobile - It has become increasingly & annoyingly difficult to swing a dead cat around you without hitting obscure carrier specific KitKat updates left & right.
But 5 entire nordic countries?? Ohh - No.
We ought to contact Amnesty International and get "Update With holding" registered as an official form of torture. :silly:
At the very least it might have been usefull as an "Improved interrogation technique" at Guantanamo! :crying:

I personally don't see any point in upgrading to KitKat as per now as it messes up more stuff than it actually "fix". NO move to SDcard support, battery drain for no apparent reason, locked bootloader and so on.
Correct me if I am wrong...
Seems like we are forgotten by sammy. Kitkat came in january and now 3 months later still nothing. Out last update was in december. lol.
I dont really need kitkat, but i need samsung to support my phone and now its been a lot of new fw's and nothing to NEE...
I just run the Polish version, works fine, except it's a battery hog.
i'm wondering why it takes 3-4 month to roll-out update for all regions !!!
really why ?

Jay, downloading too. Hope this helps with my battery issues because it can't get any worse than it already is in 4.3.
Ya I hope so too

Just did upgrade via OTA. Now running N9005XXUENC2. Build number KOT49H.N9005XXUENC2. Kernel 3.4.0-636608.
As expected not much have changed. Didn't do factory reset yet, i guess that is recommended? How about all the settings and saved games etc, those should be backed up?

You can try going without a reset - if there are no problems then you have no need to wipe the phone. If you have issues or sudden battery drain or something then do a reset. Apps and saved games can be backed up with Titanium Backup if you are rooted or I use Helium which works without root. Not sure if it saves settings - I try to never restore settings if I go to a different version so I haven't tested this.
I'm gonna do a factory reset 3 times as I did after the MJ7 disaster, it really helped with my battery life (not alot but a little).
I could usually squeeze out 6,7 hours of screen time on 10% this pales in comparison to MJ3 but I'll write here once I have some results.

After installing this my AnTuTu Benchmark score went 4000+ points down. Is this supposed to happen?

KitKat photo editor
Just updated to 4.4.2 this morning and was disappointed that the Nexus photo editor wasn't in this update. Not sure if this has been discussed somewhere but is there a way to "easily" get it on my phone without rooting or anything?
I have the 32Gb LTE version with an AT&T Sim installed (5gb data plan), Wifi on as well.
I was at the latest KitKat update and noticed that lollipop had been released a few days ago. Every time I goto about tablet / system updates it says its up to date, but still on version 4.4.2. Bought the tablet new from Newegg when it came out. Never had any problems with updates, even using TowelRoot in between updates.
I have reset back to factory and still am not having any luck getting an OTA update, No error messages it just returns with an already up to date message. Any ideas?
Download it and flash it manually.
It's at&fee causing you the strife

Same here and mine says I'm up to date. hmm.
After looking around .. it seems that AT&T hasn't "approved" the LTE version and since the damn thing ships with an AT&T sim card ... yeah .. doesn't matter that it works with TMO (which I'm using) ... we're not getting it for a bit for the 32GB LTE version.

The link that was posted above does indeed work with AT&T and i'm getting impressive LTE transfer rates. Only had Lollipop installed for 45 minuets but I have not seen any issues with it. Much faster than Jelly bean.

Yep. It's working well on mine as well and I'm getting 40mb/13mb on TMO's LTE. Really nice. I just forgot that I'd rooted mine with a GUI tool instead of the normal way so my bootloader was still locked ... when all was said and done ... fresh start.
Ah well .. a quite Titanium restore and I was back in black.
