Hello
I have the following query about firmwares. Got an S5 which was purchased in Germany (Deutsche Telekom)
Now that 6.0.1 is out, I would like to upgrade to it, but I would like to switch to a different firmware, because I want a firware that is vendor-free, not associated to a specific provider (e.g. not startup logo, no bloatware etc). Just retail, as I would get it if I bought the device 'pay as you go' directly from Samsung.
I can see that there are the following 6.0.1 versions of the firmware for my device:
2016-06-07
Netherlands (Vodafone)
6.0.1
G901FXXU1CPE1
G901FVFG1CPE3
YES
2016-05-27
Romania (Vodafone)
6.0.1
G901FXXU1CPE1
G901FVFG1CPE3
YES
2016-05-27
Germany (Vodafone)
6.0.1
G901FXXU1CPE1
G901FVFG1CPE3
YES
2016-05-27
Spain (Vodafone)
6.0.1
G901FXXU1CPE1
G901FVFG1CPE3
YES
2016-05-13
Nordic countries
6.0.1
G901FXXU1CPE1
G901FNEE1CPE1
YES
2016-05-10
Germany
6.0.1
G901FXXU1CPE1
G901FDBT1CPE1
NO

The last two (Nordic countries and Germany), don't mention a specific provider. Does that mean that those are 'retail' ROMs, as I described above? Am I good to pick one of those two?
Cheers
Anyone??
My device baseband version is G901FXXU1ANI3 and it's got 4.4.4 on it.
Which, according to sammobile is:
G901FXXU1ANI5/G901FTNL1ANK2/G901FXXU1ANI3/G901FXXU1ANI5 (Netherlands (T-Mobile) - TNL)

Now, can I follow these 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
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
and flash to any 6.0.1 release?
e.g.
2016-07-11
Netherlands
6.0.1
G901FXXU1CPF6
G901FPHN1CPF2

or
2016-05-10
Germany

(am I right to assume that all those three 6.0.1 releases are 'stock', since they don't mention a telecom provider..?)
Thanks!
Hello,
You can indeed flash any of the firmwares you mentioned above. The ones with (Vodafone) are carrier branded, the ones without like "Germany" are not branded and it will be as if your phone was sold by Samsung directly.
All the best,
Tzuik
Suppose there is no way for me to tell if any of those firmwares include the MMB29V (fix for the memory leak issue) ??

Can someone clarify to me how to read (and understand!) firmware versioning?
For example: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-G901F/
I am interested in upgrading to 6.0.1 (from 4.4.4)
And I want to pick a 'retail' ROM. I don't want a provider-specific ROM, as I believe there are chances that it will include provider-specific bloatware, which I don't need!
Then, I can narrow down potential 6.0.1 candidates by picking the latest 'Security Patch Level'. Which at this time is 2016-10-01
So far, so good. Let's look at the following two:
Model SM-G901F
Model name GALAXY S5
Country Greece
Version Android 6.0.1
Changelist 7582628
Build date Fri, 07 Oct 2016 07:54:26 +0000
Security Patch Level 2016-10-01
Product code EUR
PDA G901FXXU1CPJ1
CSC G901FEUR1CPE1
---------------------
Model SM-G901F
Model name GALAXY S5
Country Nordic countries
Version Android 6.0.1
Changelist 7582628
Build date Fri, 07 Oct 2016 05:48:37 +0000
Security Patch Level 2016-10-01
Product code NEE
PDA G901FXXS1CPJ5
CSC G901FNEE
Both are 'Retail' ROMS, right?
One is for Greece and the other for Nordic countries. I live in Greece. But what's the difference other than that? Language support? Isn't the Greek ROM contain Scandinavian languages and vice versa?
Changelist (and Security Patch Level) are identical. Build date is also similar.
PDA and CSC codes are different.
Can someone help me understand if there are any actual differences between those two 6.0.1 releases?

Sorry for the late reply mate. here is the deal: If for example you live in the nordic countries, you would prefer downloading that specific version due to language packs included and first boot language. If you install the Greece one, the language at boot will obviously be Greek. Same with GPS fix, there is a special file in each of these ROMs that points to your approximate location for the GPS to know, what satellites will it be looking for at start. If you take Greece and live in the US, it will take a little longer for your initial GPS to get a fix. I think there are also limitations regarding WiFi channels in the Modem files, depending on the selected country.

Thank you tzuik! That's most helpful
Boot language is no concern at all to me (since it can be changed after first boot). Only thing that would interest me here, is that if there is a possibility to have e.g. English language, but with an option for Greek keyboard. I am guessing that's not possible, right? The keyboard language is always fixed to whatever language you chose the system language to be. I am asking this, since I would have liked to have English (UK) as system language, but have the option of Greek keyboard (i.e. for typing for SMS, chat etc)
GPS and Wifi, although not of critical importance, it's nice to have them optimized for my country.
Thanks ever so much

You can have whatever language you prefer on the keyboard, independent of the language of the OS. If you choose the Samsung one, just open settings > Language and input > under "Keyboards and input methods" select "Samsung keyboard" > "+ Input Languages" and you will find a long list where Greek should be as well. Once you select it, it will download the dictionary for it and you can switch between English/Greek when texting by swiping on the Spacebar left or right. You can also install other keyboards like Google, Swype, etc. and you can change the default keyboard in the same menu where it says " Default". They all have different settings and ways to cycle languages so you have to play around and choose whichever fits you best.
Best regards,
Tzuik
Excellent, that will do then!

Difference between SM-P9050ZKAXEF and SM-P9050ZKADBT
Hello, I am thinking of buying the Note 12.2 but I would like to know the defference between these two part numbers. What do they mean XEF and DBT? They are imported from Germany or France?
Thank you.
DBT is the German Unbranded version, XEF is the French Unbranded version. The only difference lies in the firmware (Which has the same code). The country code is just to indicate the country of origin for product details purposes.
There are a few small differences in the firmware (Shutter sound, for instance). But since you can freely flash official firmware without risk to your warranty, it's not overly important.
Send from my DBT SM-P905 with Tapatalk 2.
Thank you very much for your answer. I have seen your name on many threads about this device, so you have the knowledge. I have 3 more questions:
1. Is there a way to get the full list of the differences between the two firmwares?
2. If Samsung releases an update lets say first for Germany, then the German device will get the update and the French one will get it later when it is released for that specific country?
3. You mentioned that there is a way to flash the firmware I want. This is done without triggering Knox? Can you post a link for the official firmwares?

Sadly, no. Samsung never gives out such lists, and to my knowledge nobody has compiled one.
2. If Samsung releases an update lets say first for Germany, then the German device will get the update and the French one will get it later when it is released for that specific country?
Click to expand...

Yes.
Samsung's updates usually go like this: First release is for XEO, Poland. (That's where the test centre is located).
A week or three later, provided nothing goes wrong, DBT, XEF and BTU(UK) get the update. The order of which one gets it first varies, but they're usually around the same week.
Next up is the rest of the world. The US releases follow a different schedule because those devices have their own device number.
Sometimes a country decides to skip an update or two due to a problem, or because the newest update fixes specific issues that do not apply to that country. For instance there was an update for the Note 3 that fixed the WiFi passwords not being remembered. The issue didn't affect DBT, so DBT didn't get that update. This has been the case for the P905 on several updates recently due to the LTE whitelists needing to be adapted, which can only be done via an update.
3. You mentioned that there is a way to flash the firmware I want. This is done without triggering Knox? Can you post a link for the official firmwares?

So long as you flash an official firmware from the same region, it won't trigger KNOX.
You can find most of them here: http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/database/SM-P905/
Keep in mind that you can only flash the same firmware number or higher. You can't downgrade.
Thank you very much for answering my questions. From what I understand if I buy the import from Germany, I will not be able to flash the France firmware because they are different regions, correct? I live in Greece, so you suggest finding a tablet with Greek firmware or importing one of the above?

France and Germany are in the same region. The regions are defined as EU/EEA, Asia, Middle East, USA, etc.
The Greek firmware also falls within the EU/EEA region.
You can cross-flash the firmware from any of the EU/EEA countries without issue.

Just did a bad flash and was going to Odin back to stock, and lookie do, what do I find in the General forum.
If it's carrier branded, so be it, I'll survive that...

I'm downloading the Netherlands version (I presume you used the German one) and try without the .pit and wipe, if it doesn't work - then shall I apply the .pit.
Do these carrier branded firmwares include lots of bloatware?

TNL has a fair bit of bloatware, but nearly all can be deleted. About 7-9, I believe. The My T-mobile app and Travel&Surf app are not relevant to the actual network functions (they're Dutch-only account apps) and can be safely deleted.
Should be a few other Dutch junk apps as well, such as scoupy and HRS hotels. If you find an app but you're not sure what it is, I can probably tell you. (And if not, I can ask the dev team.)
Oh, it does have a very annoying startup jingle. Mind the volume if you reboot at night

TNL is build from PHN, which is the same size as BTU. You shouldn't need a pitfile if you're on an Unbranded western EU rom.
It's non-wipe.

So seems like Unbranded to Branded is a no go. Flashed back Poland Unbranded BOB6 and phone is now booting.
VoLTE
Does this ROM have VoLTE, like the previous version (OC3)? BOB6 doesn't, and some say Samsung opted to enable VoLTE only for some countries (for which OC3 was created).
what is the exact changelog?

I said Unbranded Western EU ROM. XEO always has size issues with western ROMS, particularly DBT/BTU/PHN/XEF (which are basically all the same).

My phone's default is DBT (Germany), then flashed with the Unbranded 5.0 Poland as even to this date there is no released DBT 5.0 firmware. Anyway, no harm was done.
I am on Poland unbranded BOB6 5.0 right now.
If I intend to flash this directly with the PIT file, will I lose all my files?
Which PIT file should i use to upgrade from the Polish BOB6 to this? I've tried both PITs mentioned on this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-note-3/general/finally-official-5-0-firmware-galaxy-t3029557 (page 114) to no avail.

Okay, but when i saw those i've became surprised as i did not expect that the Tab 4 can get a taste of Sammy's Lollipop
can i use any of these on the 3g variant? (SM T531)
No, due to modem and bootloader differences

You're going to be waiting for months, at least. First they're going to do the other models, which probably won't be until June, at least, and will be ongoing into July and probably August, if not longer. Then they'll slooooooowly start rolling out other regions. The build available now is for the Spain region, so I would be willing to bet the Italian language will be available, if that's your concern. And you don't need root to install these updates.
An example, I have an international model Galaxy S4 Active. The first LP update was released back in January, but they're still rolling out new regions, and even now there's only about 5 or 6 different regions available for a phone that is sold around the world in nearly every region imaginable. Since you especially don't have to worry about any specific carrier, what do you have to lose trying this update out?

Hey,
There is a new firmware 5.0 for our Note 3 : N9005XXUGPOF3
CSC : NEE
Anyone has tried it ?
Changelist is lower than the KSA Version
PDA: N9005XXUGPOF3 CSC: N9005NEEGPOF3 CHANGELIST: 4935104 BUILD DATE: 17.06.2015
PDA: N9005XXUGBOEA CSC: N9005OJVGBOE4 CHANGELIST: 5020004 BUILD DATE: 29.05.2015
Yea but it's builed after BOEA (KSA)
Changelist is more important, not the build date!!!

And this is lower- changelist
I've seen several official roms released with different rom and kernel filesizes and with same changelist.
Highest changelist may not be the latest version of Android, if the required changes are for specific countries only.
I need the Modem and Bootloader from this rom please.
There is a newer one (higher changelist) and is latest Brazilian's one (see screenshot)
I installed the new firmware. N9005XXUGPOF3_N9005NEEGPOF3_NEE
first impression:
* stable
* google applications have been updated to the latest version
I do not care changelog number.
it's just a number and i don't know what criteria is placed.
I watch the build data and this firmware is the latest. ( Build date : Wed, 17 Jun 2015 09:30:11 +0000 )
Do you know if I can downgrade from this rom to Kitkat ?
Does this update get rid of the delay while clearing recent apps? Heard the last Indian update for Exynos units solved the problem (or at least minimised it), so wondering whether this one does that or not.
Unified Daemon bug is still in this Rom... :/
Are you sure about the Unified Daemon bug? I installed the Nordic ROM two days ago, and usage only shows 17KB. Fair enough on the first day battery drain was fast, but it seems to be settling down and has now lasted longer. Pulled it off charge this morning and after four hours of emailing, surfing, and watching a Netflix movie battery is at 90%.
And for devilsdouble , yes it does get rid of the delay clearing recent apps. I found that annoying too.

Exactly. It's pointless to think that Samsung would build something later in time with a lower changelist. The only difference in changelist is different region, or Carrier implementations. XXU (Europe, or EMEA in a way) has most of the attention, i've always noticed changelist number differences with the Americas version (Brazil, and mostly South America) and also the Asian ones (Malaysia, Philippines, Taiwan, Singapore and Honk-Kong). All that means is that Samsung has split this in to three pools of maintenance who seem to merge once in a while.
Basically i think it's useless to compare the changelist from different regions, for the sake of Modem/Baseband/CSC compatibility, i'd always go with the region your phone is made for initially.
EDIT: anyone got a mirror yet?
I've recieved an official update on my Note3, now my baseband /bootloader /pda/ is N9005XXUGPOF3, while the CSC is N9005NEEGPOF3. I live in Italy
The phone is still stable and smooth,but the battery leakage is crazy.
I would like to root the phone and install twrp to put on some custom rom. Does anybody know if and how I can do it?
I was checking about chainfire root method and i have to choose one of those too,
SM-N9005 (International Qualcomm): CF-Auto-Root-hlte-hltexx-smn9005.zip
(only works on 4.4 bootloaders, if you're still on 4.3 use the old version which you can find here:...)
Which is my bootloader version at this time?
Can I use safely the 4.4 bootloader version?
How should i procede to root the phone?
Why starting a new thread when there's already one?

Guys,
I am using a ZTO ROM (Brazil) but I am willing to use a Nordic ROM. Is it safe to try it? I mean, there any difference about partitions or baseband that I gonna have difficulties to come back to ZTO anytime?
due to some mistakes made while trying to root, i had to flash another stock rom
i have now unrooted but there is always annoying tmobile boot/shutdown animations (plus sounds), after which the normal samsung boot animation pops up
can anyone provide a legit, pure stock SM-G930F with none of that bs pleasse
On sammobile find your country and pick fw without any of carrier in description.
For example, for Austria it is TTR version, for Germany it is DBT version, for Czech Republic it is ETL version etc...
