[N9005] Claimed to be L for LTE NOTE 3

http://bbs.gfan.com/forum.php?mod=viewthread&tid=7783856
Check this website in chrome its in Japanese or Chinese so you can translate it, gonna have to test it you guys i have exynos and its up to you guys to try and install
Just wanted to share
Thanks to @Tetraguy

Did somebody found download link ?

The guy i mentioned found this and i'm an exynos user i wish i could test this 4 u but i cant

no download link.....

Like the thread title said "Claimed" maybe download link will be available tomorrow
I'll contact a mod to move this to general section

If i don't understand false, it is an OTA Update. Only the HongKong user can download it.
I don't know, how we can get it. I would like to test it too.
If i don't remember wrong, isn't the HongKong Note 3 different than SM-N9005?
I am sure that in some days, we will get it.

I really dont understand too much too, its an OTA update link will be posted hopefully and the method as for the variant i really dont know :/

There are so much questions. I think so, we have to wait a little bit.
What about BootLoader? What about system partition? The HongKong version has a 16GB internal storage.
Maybe we can make a softbrick. Better wait a little bit.

Untill we are certain and till i can find some link i'll tell ya
But if someone is gonna test this its gonna be someone with a jig just in case it gets bricked

Ugh exynos is N900 not N9005 and currently there is only a leak for exynos users. So fix the title before you get a whole lot of noobs hard bricking their phones because of you.

It is for Qualcomm. Hong Kong SM-N9005 is a Qualcomm Note 3 too.
It has only a little bit different storage structure. The Hong Kong SM-N9005 has a 16GB internal storage. The international SM-9005 has a 32GB internal storage.
I don't know so much about the bootloader, if they have same bootloader or not.

You have to reply to read the rest of conversation aspgjaspogkaèlò i tried to register but it don't let me login

From what I read on their forums, some people got the OTA update on NJ1 firmware while others didn't.

Hide the contents of this post
1: 9005 Hong Kong version has begun to push Samsung 5.0 lollipop, and upgrade ota. Want to upgrade 5.0 9005 oil, you can brush about the latest family of four nj1 9005 twice. Until at odin mode, there is no custom in English, the system will support the ota. In order to upgrade, and wait for a push on the line. The following screenshots have been painted custom official. Popular talk has painted the official system from a third party ROM.
2: About the Hong Kong version 5.0 Push 9005, ordinary engine oil is not recommended blind ota, Samsung upgrades generally can not downgrade. Once 5.0, means that the software is not compatible with all kinds, especially games. So I do not know what they are doing oil caution ota. Oil and recommend future ordinary brush card pack. . . Card brush package will not upgrade bl, so much safer.

The screenshots from the original link in the opening post of this thread clearly show it's running on the N9005, not the N900.

Here are the same news in vietnamese.
So, the OTA is rolling out in HK actually. I can't read vietnamese, but the google translator is showing, that there will be a tutorial soon. But maybe the translator just translated it wrong. xD

Following the N900 has been on the Beta version of Android 5.0 OTA heated SamsungViet our forums for days through the social networking http://bbs.gfan.com/ today 's China is a user owns Galaxy Note 3 ( SM - N9005 ) Hong Kong version was " sucking candy " Lollipop BETA similar to N900 . It can be seen that the Samsung devices are upgraded to the latest version of Android version is sure to be the official Android 5.0 reaches people on the occasion of New Year .

Through Google Translate. I can't vouch for the accuracy though. But fingers crossed they'll have a working release of this for 32gb units over the coming days.

Same! I hope it is also true! Call Samsung in within of your country, if you live in the U.S.A, call them at: 1 (800) 726-7864
And ask them how to get the lollipop update for SM-T230NU.

I think that means it isn't coming and that the person (or bot) you were chatting with is expecting questions that are more like "How do I turn on wifi?" or "How can I update my phone?".

Yes, you are right, they are for very simple questions, not for something as technical as an update, just wait for a miracle

Samsung has confirmed that it is out. Many devices are still getting it.

Yes... devices like SM-T237, SM-T235, all LTE models. But SM-T230 or SM-T231...

Nice job being a troll samsung hasn't released an update for about a year now for the SM-T230NU and they are never going to update it to lollipop. Samsung is a very ****ty company and they only care about money unfortunately and new devices as they keep making way too many of them. Why would you even want 5.0.1 if anything i would want them to give us 5.1.1 lollipop that would make much more sense but best buy is not installing any lollipop update on your tab and im sorry if you think they are but they aren't. There just pulling your leg. You can even look on sammobile there is no update on there which is lollipop
Moderators please close this thread as it's against xda rules

Did this ever come out? Or an alternative OS?

How peculiar. I just chatted online with some Samsung dweeb (probably in Pakistan) who just told me 4.4.2 is the latest version supported by my SM-T230NU. What the---?

Here i am in March 2018, Samsung did not released Lollipop upgrade for Tab 4 SM-T230NU, and will never do. The latest official firmware from sammobile for this device is 4.4.2.
Alternative rom? Check this link for Acheron Rom 4.4.2 by @g_ding84. Works pretty well: https://forum.xda-developers.com/tab-4/development/rom-stock-t230-nu-acheron-rom-v1-0-2015-t3000107

Oreo final release might be close.

Spotted this on the Samsung fota cloud test server. It's version CQLJ which means it's not a beta version.

new fw is BRA+0-9/A-F (when build in 2018)

Yes, for sure, I forgot about 7.1
Major OS 7.0 for S8 - A, 7.1 - B (skip for S8), 8.0 - C
R - 2018 year
A - January
0-9/A-F - build number

Knowing samsung if its released to some european country today it'll hit america in around a month, and canada in 2 months, then a month later the s9 is released... thanks samsung.

I wish Samsung would fix their update scheme. There is Android Fragmentation, then there is Android Samsung Fragmentation. Why is the Galaxy Tab A 2016 getting the January security update and my unlocked S8 is on November...
Also the latest Oreo Beta is on December, I know security updates are only small but as has been seen on the January update with the Pixels they can cause issues, so I would be sceptical to an Oreo release even being up to date.
Samsung needs to stop carriers turning their phones into bloated messes. My phone, before I debranded, came with 17 applications installed by the carrier, none of which I have any use for or have used!
It really isn't that hard to get this right, and it's what we are all asking for! Simplification and transparency, not waiting and waiting and waiting! Some customers with Note 8's in the UK are still on August Security Patch. That's what £800 gets you, negligence.

It's only a reference site so nothing to download from it.

I just downloaded it from here (Snapdragon only!) : https://samsung.firmware.science/download?url=48927/1488/SS-G950USQS2BQL1-to-U2CRA1-UP
Boot into recovery and install update.zip.
I haven't flashed it yet as I don't want to lose root.

Do you know if the version.xml (not version.test.XML) update in real-time? Thats mean, would I be able to see a new firmware when Samsung pushes a new update to my device?

I see they have jumped back to CRAB version from CRAL in the test server. Wonder if that is in prep for the release to beta testers.

And now to CRAP. It must be the final

Whole set of Bixby got updated. Is that a sign to prepare the phone for an Oreo upgrade?

Exclusive: Samsung stops Galaxy S8 Android 8.0 release, new version being developed

Samsung started rolling out the much-awaited Android 8.0 Oreo update for the Galaxy S8 and the Galaxy S8+ last week. As promised, the update was first released to members of the beta program before it was rolled out to non-beta devices earlier this week. The update had only been sent out in a handful of markets but in a rather unexpected turn of events, Samsung has stopped the Galaxy S8 Android 8.0 Oreo update release..
More info: SamMobile

Someone must have pointed out CRAP to them.

yep, that was rather weird, almost felt like the finger to the community or users,
not sure what is all behind this rather unconventional name though

Well, it looks like anyone on Carrier Branded firmware (me) is in for a long wait, if a problem has been found in the firmware, it will set everyone back.

What abot people who have already updated to oreo? (Like me)

According to the post, it shouldn't be a problem for anyone who has already updated. It would be ideal if they let people know why though.

Well, ive already flashed trough Odin the Spain PHE version into my Portuguese phone using the tutorial to make the necessaries workarounds.
So far im very happy.
The phone is very stable and much more fluid and quick than Nougat
Nothing to complaint so far!!!

Now I know the reason why it is lablled as CRAP.

They probably want to prevent rolling back to nougat bootloader for those that use that loophole to root and not have to wait 7 days for oem lock to appear.

Hi everyone
Today I flashed the firmware crap but now I can not install the recovery how to downgrade

it's a shame to samsung, we consumers pay a fortune for a mobile phone, and we have to wait 2 years for an OS update
i missing my nexus´s my father phone (nexus 5x ) have oreo 8.1 ...unbelievable lolllllol

The last 5 characters of the firmware version are: numeric for BL version, alphanumeric for the phone’s Samsung Experience/major update (C means third major update to the initial release of the phone), alphanumeric for the year (Q is 2017, R is 2018), alphanumeric for month (technically alphabetic, A to K), and alphanumeric for non-test-build of the given month.
So 1CRAP is: bootloader v1, third major release, 2018, january, P release.

Apparently the only reason they stoped the rollout of oreo was that it was causing some devices to reboot. That's what I've been reading has anyone had that problem?

The Samsung A30 has been receiving One ui 2.0 in Asia as from 3 days ago. I hope we are next.
Samsung is not following their schedule. They released one ui 2.0 for Galaxy M20 last year way before several flagships and mid tier phones got it.
They also have released one ui 2.0 for the A30 before the A80,A70,A40 blah blah.
I really hope that they port it to the A20 and provide it before May.

A30 have got it for Hong Kong, India and Kenya so far.

I have added a poll.

I will upgrade as soon as it is available. I'm sure that we will manage to have working TWRP and therefore working GSIs, after all unlocking the bootloader is what really matters.
I'm not sure how this works but vendor partition may be updated with blobs that have better compatibility for Android 10, which will be great if we want to go to Android R
