Hi at all,
I rooted my S6 successfully with CF-Auto-Root by chainfire. I am now not able to do an OTA-update within the OS, so I think I have to flash updates of stock roms by downloading it from sammobile.com and flash it via ODIN. When I follow the last advices given in some threads I have to go to http://updato.com/firmware-archive-select-model?r=&v=&q=sm-g920f and look for the latest firmware released by samsung. But how do I know which one the correct one is? The version always begins with G920FXX followed by U3 or S3. Can anyone tell me the "syntax" of the meaning of the firmware version or the deifference between these two version-trees? Do I have to choose the german version if I bought a german phone, or does it not depend on that?
Again my question in a short way: How can I update OS/firmware after rooting the S6?
Thanx-a-lot for your hints and ideas!
Regards
Clemens

Do I have some time on my samsung galaxy tab use only the original firmware. So I wanted to try but some unofficial version. I therefore tried a lot of recovery. That was probably a mistake because when I wanted to go back to the original firmware, the latest version is freely available on the Internet (XEZ 4.1.2). Despite that, I wanted OTA update to the latest 4.2.2 Tablet me but wrote that the last update has already been installed. CSC reports still original XEZ. Any idea how to solve it?

So Xez is your latest update in your contry , if you want to update to 4.2.2 , try different region, you can donwload in http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/, and flash via odin.
Or you can try microdelta rom which is the best stock rom for p3110,
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!
Hi.
I have a G955U Galaxy S8+ AT&T Factory Unlocked on Android 7.0
Baseband Version: G955USQU1AQD9
Android Security Patch Level - April 1, 2017
I no longer live in the US, and currently in the Philippines. Phone works great and the signal is too and all, but I cannot get OTA updates.
Can I just download the firmware file in this thread and flash straight through ODIN, or do I need to follow another guide?
Thanks in advance
You can, however there are specific sequences to follow, so you have to update in firmware released order.
I encountered the same problem so I downloaded odin that worked for Nougat and loaded all version to BRB1 I think it is and then went to Oreo. Currently on CRC5.
Another note, when you are about to hit Oreo you will need to download the odin that works for Oreo. It can be found in the CRC5 thread.
Happy Updating

Is this really necessary?
I want to update to Oreo as well but since I'm AT&T unlocked and not currently using AT&T network I'm stuck in the June software update so I'll have to flash like 7-8 firmware updates and each one being about 2-3 GB to download.
Also, is there any stock Samsung firmware I can download so I can avoid having to manually flash every software update? Or am I just stuck with the AT&T firmware?
Thanks in advance.
I'm also having this problem. Need to flash the updates through ODIN but I can't find every single stock file leading up to BR9 on this site. Do I really have flash them all? Or is there another way?
Hi guys,
I have a rooted S8+ dual sim with build number R16NW. G955FXXU2CRF7. I have tried all I could to unroot the phone so I can succesfully update to android pie but I can't seem to find the stock firmware for this particular device.
would appreciate a proper walk through.
Thanks.

You can used sammobile or updato ( websites ) to get firmware or you use samfirm or frija ( PC apps ) to get the latest version of firmware.
Then flash with odin.
Good evening ladies and gents,
I got a phone today from Amazon Galaxy Note 10 Plus. SM-N975F/DS.
Got it activated on AT&T which took a bit of trickery but finally got it activated.
So now I am in the process of rooting it and noticed that there are many region specific firmware (you have to use Magisk to patch the firmware (the .md5)). For example mine is N975FXXU6FUCD-MID which was difficult to find and difficult to identify. I have located this (MID) region and its Iraq. As I type this that exact firmware is downloading from SMAMOBILE. I will be flashing a custom ROM within the next few hours. I was wondering tho, since there is no USA Firmware version, will the custom ROM change the firmware thus rendering this entire post irrelevant? Does the firmware matter if the phone is activated and functioning, or is there anything else anyone would suggest? For example should I flash a firmware from perhaps Mexico since its the same continent?
I ask because as I stated above, I am downloading the N975FXXU6FUCD-MID firmware now, and I have to use Magisk to patch the firmware so I just figured I would patch the exact same firmware that is on the phone currently but should i patch a different firmware instead?
Anyway, If anyone has any insight into this I'd love to hear it. Thank you!
