[Q] Samsung Galaxy S Upgrade

Hello all, I have a Galaxy S that is unlocked, i have been trying to install Android 2.2 using the latest Kies software, but all i keep getting is the following.
Current Ver: 2.1 - Update, PDA:JF3 / Phone:JF3 / CSC:JE5 This version of the device cannot be updated.
My wife has the same phone on the Orange Network, this updated straight away with no problems, and works just fine.
I was wondering if it is the fact that if the phone is unlocked, and the update is not possible. We live in the UK. Any help would be greatfully received.
Thank You

I was hoping that this would be the Forum that would have least given a reply to my thread, but it seems not so. I notice that over 200 hundred people have looked at the question.
I live in hope than an answer will be forthcoming, even if somebody tells me to go away.

What kind of Galaxy S do you have?

You can do the registry hack for kies to change your product code and update to the generic rom, however I believe this hack has been patched for the most recent version of kies. I'll see if I can find a link to the hacking guide for you.

[Q] Kitkat on I497

Hello guys,
I just rootet my Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 running 4.1.2 Android from AT&T model i497.
Reading through many threads here I could not find a ROM to upgrade this to Kitkat 4.4.2. Is there an upgrade?
I should also point out that I would be totally OK using any ROM as this Tablet will not use any phone line from AT&T going forward. It will be mounted on the wall for Home Automation with just Wifi. So killing the AT&T crap software and giving me simple KitKat would be totally ok.
Any help guys here?
Thanks in advance.

No luck

Doesn't look like anybody is working on this.
Let me phrase the question then differently. The I497 is from AT&T. The same or similar hardware is also provided by other phone companies or even better there are same or similar hardware versions out there without the mobile SIM card option going with simply WiFi.
Does anybody know which KitKat ROM I can install on my I497 to get it from Jellybean to KitKat even if that means I will have a Vanilla KitKat and also might loose my SIM card option? I just need WiFi on that tablet and that's it.
I am open for suggestions guys. Thanks.

I'm also wondering as well

[Q] "Package not for/Device is p4noterf

I apologize if this is a question already asked and answered but after a few hours of searching, the most I could come up with was a post that hasn't been answered yet.
I have the Samsung Note 10.1 (2012) I assume the model is GT-N8013.
I've flashed several recoveries, downloaded multiple roms and it keeps telling me that this package is for etc. etc. etc, your device is a p4noterf. Any answers would be greatly appreciated.

Your 8013 assumption may be wrong .
Note 10.1 includes 8000 8010

On the back of the device, I read the model number as GT-N8013ZW and looking up that number, It came up as Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1
What ROM should I be using for the GT-N8013? Searching for "Roms for GT-N8013 and pnoterf" and trying to install those keeps returning the error listed in my Topic.
I apologize for the trouble.

GT-N8013ZW
Listed as US Cellular version on sammobile .

Ah I see now. The top result is definitely the device I am using. Thank you for clarifying that for me.
Ok then, since I'm having this problem trying to get a custom ROM installed, would you mind helping me out a little bit more? Since we've been talking here, I've tried even more ROMS and I'm still getting the warning "This device is the pnotefr."
Appreciate it in advance.

Sorry not a clue as to the message .
Only thought is possibly a different model firmware flashed at some time .
What does KIES say regarding model/ updated firmware ?

[Completed] Old Galaxy S4 on new carrier. How do I update to Marshmallow or other?

Samsung Galaxy S4 SGH-I337
Baseband version: I337UCUGOK2
Kernel version: 3.4.0-6185444
[email protected] #1
Build number: LRX22C.I337UCUGOK2
I am going to be using an old S4 from At&t until I save up for something better.
It has been recovered to its original state and It will not let me do a software update past 5.0.1 because At&t has never pushed it out.
The phone is also now being used with Cricket wireless.
I would like to be able to just use the most recent stock update from Samsung and get rid of any trace of AT&T from this phone if I can but I don't know for a fact if Samsung ever updated the S4.
If that's not an option, then where do I start learning about custom ROMs, and how to know what's supported etc.?
I don't care about voiding ANYTHING in this endeavor.
I'm an old G33K but rooting, and custom ROMs are new to me. I have spent countless hours on YouTube but it's filled with so much useless info as I'm sure you all know.
Thank you so much for your time in reading this & any reply.

Greetings and welcome to assist. I don't think samsung updated the s4 past 5.0, you could just root your phone to remove any at&t apps. There is a very simple guide here

on how to install a custom rom on your device
Good Luck
