[q] galaxy gt-i9003 latest update for samsung india

Hey, Anyone can help me how to install the new software release for glaxy sl. I download a".tar.md5" file from live.samsung-updates.com. The file is somewhat like " I9003DDMF1_I9003ODDLF2_I9003DDLE1_HOME.tar.md5".
What other files might be required to install & what software is the best?
Help Me out as Samsung Kies fails everytime after the phone goes to download mode.

I'm pretty sure you just have to flash it through Odin 1.85. Download it, click PDA, choose the update file and then click start.

Thnks dude for helping me out. But this update doesn't have much changes. It worked & updated.

N..don't use odin3 v1.85, to install this firm use odin3 v3.04 (download it from the attachments).
you don't have to install kies, just install galaxy sl usb drivers (thanks to Zulfauzi).
install instructions are here (follow the value pack instructions) (thanks to Misledz).
Hope this helped you

PLEASE HELP, cant ODIN back to stock

Everything was fine. tried the minuit (or however you spell it) mod. Ended up in a boot loop. i can get into download mode fine. Downloaded the stock firmware to odin back and start over, but when i try, it checks the MD5 just fine. starts the "setupconnection" then i get a fail "can't open the serial(COM) port.
Am i doing something wrong here? Any help at all would be greatly appreciated!

What firmware version were you on before bootloop and what version are you trying to ODIN?

You need odin 3.10.6 and make sure you downloaded the latest stock firmware .tar. when flashing, don't move the phone, cord or laptop (if thats what you have).
Sent from my SM-G925P using XDA Free mobile app

Me too. The odin stuck at <ID:0/010> NAND Write Start!!
My stock ROM is OE2 and want to flash OF7, the original stock ROM has been rooted and TWRP installed.

I failed to use ODIN flash the entire stock ROM which is over 3gb tar.md5 file. Could I download the stock recovery only and flash by ODIN? Also, I am not sure if PIT file helps. I couldn't find PIT file download yet.

Not completely understanding you. Are you saying Odin is failing when trying to Odin latest firmware?

Yes, I failed to flash the latest firmware by ODIN 3.10. I read another post mentioned PIT file to flash to avoid this issue. However, I don't know where I could download the PIT file for this phone.

And you have the sprint s6 edge? You didn't answer all my questions

used one of these when i had recent problem.
edit: try to use the same firmware your currently on (what i did) and the thing that worked for me was using an older sammy usb cable. Beleive it or not the original one kept failing on me. i had a thicker black one that was from my s4 maybe or note 2 i think and used that one and boom went thru. good luck

Flash firmware on new Galaxy S7 G930F

Hello everyone, my name is Andrea and i got a new Galaxy S7. I bought it from Hong Kong and it came with some Spanish Vodafone apps and one of them can't be removed. I was thinking of flashing a different firmware so I could get rid of these branded apps, but my concern is: will this void the warranty/trip the KNOX?
I would download the firmware from sammobile and using odin to flash it.
BTW I live in Australia, but I would be happy to install any firmware as long as it is not branded.
Thanks for your help.
Andrea

nope it doesn't trip knox..

Hi
The first one is the newest unbranded ( G930FXXU1APF2 ) for your country flash that one , OTA will be available as long you flash stock firmware (odin) and system untouched

What do you mean by "system untouched "?
I ment to ask if let's say Italian or UK firmware have more updates or developing.
Also, if flashing a stock rom doesn't flag the knox, is there a way manifacture or shop can know I have installed a different from original?
Thank you

Hi
untouched system is when is 100% stock (odin) or stock with systemless root ( phone thinks is still 100% stock) or with systemless xposed in either case you will still get OTA
Flashing stock roms with odin will not trip the knox bit , rooting yes
European rom may get updates earlier than Australians but i do think by much , they will not care if you flash a rom from a different country and if you worry about it you can always flash back the original firmware .....they will not know what you had before

Sammobile has a little guide:
Instructions
Extract (unzip) the firmware file
Download Odin v3.11.1
Extract Odin ZIP file
Open Odin v3.11.1
Reboot Phone in Download Mode (press and hold Home + Power + Volume Down buttons)
Connect phone and wait until you get a blue sign in Odin
Add the firmware file to AP / PDA
Make sure re-partition is NOT ticked
Click the start button, sit back and wait few minutes
Also you can read this thread is a little different because they use 4 files instead of one but basically the same

Hi MAX 404! I've flashed the new firmware. I opted for the Italian one and all the unwanted apps are gone. Thank you for your help, it was very easy!
Do you think I will still get all the bands-frequence for the reception here in Australia even though I have installed the Italian rom?
Also I have one more question: Any Idea what "OM customize" is?
I opened a thread about it. http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s7/help/om-customize-t3427081/post67925652#post67925652

Is there any advantage/disadvantage to using Odin 3.12.3 instead of Odin 3.11.1 or vice versa?

Most cases not , but newer is usually more compatible with newer firmwares

Hi, I'm thinking of flashing myself too. I just have one question. The guide doesn't mention them but would I have to flash also the CSC and the BL parts or only the AP part? Can you explain why either way? Thanks.

It all depends on what you want to do or need to do , flashing CSC may imply a factory reset , some times you do not want to do that.....AP will update the OS only
For a clean restore of phone all 4 parts flashing is recomended
