I live here on Dubai. I bought my Tab named "Q-wave781M"(Which is not known) with 4.2.2 firmware cost 600+ AED. I want to update it atleast 4.3 or 4.4. Checked the About Tablet then update but nothing pop out. I dl'ed an app that check what firmware i can upgrade to and it possible for 4.4. 2 weeks ago i learned about custom roms. But there is a possibility to brick if it's not properly installed. I dl'ed Rom Manager but cwm/twrp doesn't support the device(Can't install/flash). A msg said it's installed but after booting to recovery still the stock recovery. I'm newbie here and modding android. Please help. Ty.

I have a verizon samsung s3 thats rooted and unlocked. For severel weeks i have been prompted to upgrade my device but every time i try it starts then stops about a quarter way thru and shows a dead android guy laying on his back. My phone restarts just fine with the old software still installed. I have looked for the officail jelly bean 4.1.1 rom so i can install it. But cant find it. Only can find custom. Can anyone point me to a official rom download or tell me how i can get my phone to just do it thru the update on my phone. Why is my phone having problems updating anyway. Im guessing it because of it being rooted or unlocked. Thank you for the help!!!! MY PHONE INFO!!!!! SCH-I535 ANDROID VERSION 4.0.4
There is no official Jelly Bean ROM yet. The update it just a different modem and some security updates. I would just flash a custom recovery and install a JB ROM.
Hi All,
Hoping for some advice
Ages ago I installed some custom roms on my UK N8010 - I now want to pass the tablet onto a non technical family member and want OTA updates to work
I did a restore before and in download mode it showed Binary as official and system status as official but OTA was not working
I've used Odin to flash the BTU N8010XXUCMG1 stock rom on there from samsung-updates.com
All seemed fine, though now there is no OTA update to test.. when I hold Power+Volume to get into download mode it is still showing "Odin Mode" at the top
Can anyone advise how I can be sure that OTA will work?
Thanks in advance!!
connect the note to Kies on pc , and check on Kies for updates, if it says u r modified then OTA will not work, if it says u r on latest firmware , then u r good (I think )
Thanks - It did that before but still failed when upgrading on the device itself
I did some more digging and managed to find an older firmware on sammobile.com, flashed that and it's updating ok it seems
Hi all
A week ago a rooted my Samsung Galaxy S6 device following this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6/general/root-pingpongroot-s6-root-tool-t3103016
All was OK. At that point my device is using the Android Version: 5.0.2
The question I have is that now the version 5.1.1 (Lillipop) has been released, I would like to know if my rooted device can still be upgrading when the new version is released in my region (Mexico) by the phone provider. (Telcel). In case it cannot be updated automatically, I guess I will need to do it manually or unroot my device. In that scenario, Does someone know a good tutorial how to do that?
Regards!
@LesthadMK, sure you can update rooted devices. But it may not be possible via OTA update. You will have to download the full firmware and install it manually.
Because root makes changes to system partition, OTA fails when you have rooted. If you unroot and flash stock recovery and kernel back, then OTA may work. Otherwise, simply flash the full firmware, in .tar format using Odin software, and you're good.
It's good to have full firmware saved on PC anyway, as if in case you brick your device, you can fix it by installing your device's firmware manually.
If you need help with 5.1.1 firmware installation on your s6, let me know the build no. of your device.. I will guide you to page you need to look at.
Thanks for the help. I have download Odin in case I need to do it manually.
Also, mentioned that yesterday I read an article saying that using the Samsung software "Smart Switch" in an rooted device will upgrade the device to the newest version (which I don't know if it it's true or not) Any way this is the link I found:.... Well seems since I'm newby I cannot post some external links. So just google it as: How to Use Smart Switch to Update Your Galaxy S6—Even It's Rooted.
By other hand, this is the build number for my device: G920IDVU1AOE3, so if you can help me to know how to upgrade that version that would be very helpful
Regards!
I am a newbie yet I have flashed some roms from sdcard before, but I am a total NEWBIE!
For some taxing issues they imported Tab 2 a7 30 to Turkey with a "H" code at the end and they cropped calling feature from it.
However I do not care about "calling" but I want to have android lolipop on my device. On Lenovo support site it says it must have the update after July, I can not give link as forbidden before 10 messages.
yet my device says it is the updated version (has definitely 4.4.2 on it I'm newbie not dumb).
I know that there is this flashing by PC (needs drivers and sp flash tool and rom) and also sdcard method that directly installs rom from sd card (needs different rom I guess and deleting caches needed).
So, how would I upgrade, do I need to make it 30HC kitkat to upgrade, how, will it keep its own IMEI then?
any help?

Hey, I have a question. Are Lenovo Tab 2 A7 30 and A7 30H the same? Cos I'm super confused.
I want to change the firmware of my Galaxy S6 (SM-G920R6) which is Verizon LRA device. I want to Install a stock rom like the rom of SM-G920V or SM-920F or SM-G920T..
How can I do that? which firmware will be the best for it?
I want to change rom because APN refuses to work - I edited a lot of files, tried every suggestion from here & other forums - nothing helped .
So I decided to change the rom in order to enable APN edit.
So, how do I change the stock rom of my cellphone to another stock rom? The SIM is working propley after I change some settings in serivcemode (So it's not CDMA anymore, it's GSM).
Please Help ! :crying:
Edit : BTW I used this in order to root the cellphone - so maybe G920T firmware will work? CF-Auto-Root-zerofltetmo-zerofltetmo-smg920t
My android is 5.0.2, please help.
Anyone?
This is a little off topic for the op but I really need help right now.. I rooted with CF autoroot for G920F no problem then installed TWRP 3.0.2-1 zeroflteusc also built for G920F model and in the process of trying to find a better rom as soon as I had a custom recovery, me (being a dumba**) accidentally wiped my internal storage to do a clean flash of a rom therefore deleting the only backup I had. I've only been able to find the factory binary for this device which I flashed but it had literally nothing exept for basic testing software and a simple ui to run it. It was also stuck on Android 5.0.2 but I found a compatible rom with AllianceROM v1 with update v2 flashed for the G920F but I can't find any way to update past 5.0.2!! I've been trying to find a way to update somehow for weeks but nothing is compatible with my device and I'm stuck. Would someone that has my model running on Android 5.1.1 or 6.0/.1 please install the TWRP I mentioned before and make a backup of the system, modem, efs, and boot and post it online or send it to me it would be a lot of help.
