I wouldn't hold your breath, still waiting for ANY official JB for our P6810 model.....
In the meantime, would advise to just manually update your device with Odin. I believe DXMD3 has most SE Asia languages, including Chinese and English. There are Odin guides in this forum and elsewhere in XDA and firmware from sammobile.com or samsung-updates.com

Not sure if I get your problem. For the HK model you can use the Singapore official JB version.
Model: GT-P6800
Country: Singapore
Version: Android 4.1.2
Changelist: N/A
Build date: N/A
Product Code: XSP
PDA: P6800DXMD3
CSC: P6800OLBMD3
MODEM: P6800DXMD3
There are actually 4 different versions on Sammobile for download.
http://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/3/?download=14438
I used one of the carrier free ones. Runs fine, smooth and stable. Big improvement over 4.0.4 ICS.
It comes with all Asian languages (Thai, Chinese, whatever). So it should suffice for any HK device.
Yes.. you can update it with the singapore rom. this is what ive done. Ive downloaded the singapore rom and Ive flashed it on my tablet... and it is working fine. Absolutely no problem.
If that was not clear from my post... I run the Singapore Version (DXMD3) too - for a few months now.
Best official ROM so far for me, recommended.
I'v decided to make this thread one to rule them all, instead of posting every firmware in separate thread. Others, please stick into this one, don't make mess on forums.
And here we go again! Another fine ROM Collection For Galaxy Note 3 DUOS (SM-N9002), this rom collection is provided by You know who .

Can someone please point me to the old thread about n9002 with the custom rom for this phone. It simply deseapear from my favorites topic list. Thanks!

I found out that was deleated. Why? It contain very valuable information about custom firmwares kernel. Many pages discussion about the this rare device. I think it was a mistake to delete this thread because you will not find other thread in english .users opinions about n9002. If someone find a thread like that you just deleted please point the link to this thread. Sorry for my English. Thankas!

No, it is a CHINA ROM UPDATE. It has English, Chinese and Korean. You will have to flash/install an EU rom if you want to have German.

You will most likely lose Gapps and have to reinstall as the china ROMS, at least on my China Mobile Branded, N9002, do not have and do not allow installation of Google apps. You have to have ROOT to be able to add the apps. Either manually or using Odin.
If you are happy with this can you post a tutorial for the every step you take to root and install gapps. I realy want this device but i found out over google that most users have problem daiily use. Many fc rebbot and instability. Probably this is build only for china and any try to transform the phone into a close international variant fail. Sva rom have problem too with this try but is realy the only custom firmware for this terminal and closest to 9005 international variant.

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
6.0.1

(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.

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?

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!
Howdy.
I am on BTU firmware PDA: g930fxxs1dqgk, released 7-26-2017
My phone is now asking me to upgrade OTA to PDA: g930fxxu1dqg1, released 7-20-2017 which google tells me is an O2 firmware from the UK.
Can anyone else confirm this behavior? seems like a mistake. Why is it asking me to install a O2 firmware on my unbranded UK phone? weird.

Mine just installed that on my BTU phone.

I see what happened. When you search "g930fxxu1dqg1" with startpage, different CSC versions pop up, including O2, so I thought this was an O2 firmware (multiCSC ROM). The confusing thing to me was that this has a build date previous to that of the OTA update I did on 8-3-2017:
PDA: g930fxxs1dqgk
CSC: g930foxa1dqd7
BASEBAND: g930fxxu1dqd7
- 29.94MB
- security update to July 1,2017
- build date 7-12-2017
The new fw is:
PDA: g930fxxu1dqg1
CSC: g930foxa1dqg1
BASEBAND: g930fxxu1dqd7
- 268.03MB
- security update to July 1,2017
- build date 7-2-2017
Anyway, weird to be out of order as far as build date.
Also, anywhere to see the changelist for these ROMs? I'm sure I won't understand a goddamn thing in there, but would be interesting to see. I could not find results with google.....
