Hey XDA Forum,
I've got a big problem with my Samsung Galaxy Note EDGE (915FY) running on 5.0.1. I can't update to a newer version.
I tried it via the system updates but it failed, it recomendet to use Kies so i did that but it also failed and rebooted into 5.0.1 again.
I also tried updating the firmware via Odin but guess what it failed, I got somekind of file size error.
Is there anyone out there who can help me ?
If you need more information about that just let me know !
Thank you so much !

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 - I have a Galaxy S4 (AT&T SGH-1337) and it's stuck on the "firmware has encountered an issue screen." I'm able to get into download mode though.
Here's my problem. I went to Kies and tried to do an emergency firmware install and Kies tells me it can't verify my S/N from the phone. So I went and tried to flash a stock ROM through Odin - that failed.
Now what? Please help!
Thanks a bunch!

You where on Kitkat or on lollipop?
You probably had already the locked bootloader which you can't downgrade, i will try to find you the latest firmware.
Thanks for your reply!

I just upgraded to Lollipop a few weeks earlier. I appreciate your help! Thank you!
Hi,
I'm seeking for some help. I have a phone with an old android version on it (4.4.2). It looks like that I will never receive an update via OTA, so I tried to upgrade it by my own. I tried to use Kies but it told me that I have the most recent version. After that I installed Heimdall and JOdin and downloaded a firmware (5.0.2) from here. I tried to follow the instructions of JOdin but failed. Every one of them are using some kind of script to download and install the new firmware or I don't know. And I couldn't find a way to use the downloaded firmware (about 2 gigs).
Is there a way to upgrade my phone to an original samsung firmware via my Mac (El Capitano) ?
Thanks for your help in advance

Yes, flashing a new firmware on a Samsung device via a Mac is not that easy.
The flashing tool no. 1 is Odin ... which is for Windows only.
If your device is rooted, you may try on-device flashing with Mobile Odin or FlashFire app from Chainfire.
Alternatively you can install Odin in a Windows virtual box on your Mac.
For better help and advices, you can ask in the Galaxy Alpha Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting forum.
Hi all,
I have problem updating my generally new Samsung SCH-I415 Stratosphere 2. I got an update package ZIP, that has been downloaded by Phone form Verizon directly. I took it to my SD card and tried to flash from stock recovery, but it has status 7 error. Phone was probably rooted before and now, on welcome screen, it shows unlocked padlock above Custom notification. I have managed to make system status to normal, but it didn't changed much - still got status 7 error. Is there any option to flash/install this update.zip on that phone? There is no firmware available for this model, no custom ROM or recovery. Please help :/
PS is there any modification to do in update.zip that I could make, to run it propely? I have found that in update-script I should remove some assert line, but when I have done that, it says ZIP signature failed.
Ok, I finally got it - it's really hard to find Odin flashable firmware to this device. Here it is: http://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?q=sch-i415&exact=1
Damn. I have downloaded updates from verizon and tried to flash again that firmware. Now I got "firmware upgrade encountered an error". Is there any chance to fix it/or get into recovery to factory reset?
Hi !
Thus thread isn`t for your device but it looks like it`s a workaround

This model is not supported by kies unfortunatelly....
Hello Community. I need your help please!!! I have Samsung s10e. After running OTA update, it ran into an error "can't load android system......." After installing new firmware using Odin, it runs into the same problem. The phone can also get into recovery. I have factory restored it but still the same problem. It has frp on. Finding a combination firmware for u11 android 11 has been hard for me. The phone currently has U11. Here is a picture of the error I am getting. I will highly appreciate any assistance from you guys.
Regards,
