What are the benefits of updating from ROM version 1.09.651.5 to the latest firmware ? Are there any features that hav actually been taken off in the latest firmware. Or shud i stick to my existing firmware? Is 2.03 the latest version ?
RoM Update
Well, I hated my Diamond 'cause it was slow and I had the knack of touching the screen with my ear when calling so I would hang up all the time.. With the new ROM that's fixed.
It's about twice as fast and a lot more stable!!
So upgrading is indeed useful!!!
Good luck!!

Are you talking about Official Firmwares or Unofficial Firmwares?
There is generally more features when updating to a new firmware. If you want speed then i would suggest go with an unofficial firmware such as Dutty or Vics Firmware.
Thnx..I would go with the official firmware.

does the firmware version depends on the build of a [ROM]?
AFAIK firmware version should be the android version.
are you talking about the difference in the stable and experimental roms cyanogen has out? the stable is 1.5 and the experimental is 1.6.
so yeah firmware does depend on the rom. like an old jf rom is 1.1 -puts in some more examples bc i am to lazy to quote anymore-
Basically can I flash a Europe Firmware or ROM that was based on a Europe stock firmware over my Australian firmware and still have my phone fully functional on the Australian Networks?
I read that Asian phones might have issues but as far as I can see the Australian SGS is the international version.
I've installed Darky's 9.0.2 (which is based on XXJPY) on my Optus Galaxy S, and I highly recommend it Much better than the stock rom, much smoother and definitely looks better!
What was your stock ROM? lexxonnet?
It was DTJP5 as well.
ok Thanks that makes me feel a lot better, I think I will install Darkyy's 9.0.2 as well. Which CF-Root did you use? and did you flash JPY stock first or did you just go directly with the Darkyy's ROM?
Anyway I took the plunge and installed Darkyy's 9.1 Extreme Edition.... But the clockwork mod wouldn't work until I flashed my firmware to XXJPY.... but its all working so all is good.
Hi,
I am currently on 4.1.2 12.0.A.2.254, rooted eXistenZ Ultra 3.X (LB).
If I am to upgrade to the newest eXistenZ Ultra 4, would I first need to update my stock firmware to 12.1.A.1.205, re-root, apply latest Doomkernel etc. and then flash the ROM or does the ROM already contain the newest firmware and kernel?
I know the set of instructions are on the second post, however, I just wanted to verify if this method is outdated for the newest ROM update.
Thank you.
Seems that updating the firmware also updates the corresponding kernel.
Please close thread, thanks.
the Existenz thread provides a direct link to the zip file for the existenz rom u mentioned... the ZIP file is not an OTA instead its an entire ROM of around 756MB.. its the latest version 4.0.0 based on latest xperia firmware 12.1.A.1.205 ... just download the ZIP.. flash it using any recovery... after flashing again install another recovery u want and root the device...
try it bro...
all the best... :good:

Hi,
I've used my Note 1 for quite a while now and have tested various custom ROMS on it. I now want to take it back to stock ROM and from what I can gather it should be pretty simple to accomplish. However I have a couple of concerns:
There are so many stock ROMS out there... How do I determine which one I should use? Does it matter or will all work?
I read in a comment somewhere that I should not "downgrade" to a ROMS with an earlier Android version. Is this true?
I am currently running Mokee version MK44.4-n7000-141219-RELEASE with Android version 4.4.4
Baseband version N7000XXLT3
Hope you can help!
Thanks!

You can flash whichever 4.1.2 ROM you prefer. Go to samsungupdates.com and flash via PC of mobile Odin. Read up on how to do it properly. Guides already exist.

Hi all,
So I'm using a GT-I9305
Android: 4.3
Baseband: I9305ZHUCNB1
Build: JSS15J.I9305ZHUCNB1
Since it was shipped from Hong Kong it was updated only to 4.3. I wanted to know if I can install an update to 4.4 using Odin, but from a different country, since 4.4 wasn't released to Hong Kong.
If I can, how do I know which one I should use?
Much appreciated.

Yes you can but you could also update to Android 6 using the resurrection remix rom or pan's i9305 CM13 port...
I have been using cm13 as a daily driver for over 6 months... It's now very stable & enjoyable...

Much appreciated,
It's been a few years since I used Odin. Just to make sure, how do I know how to choose the right firmware?
For now, I'll stay away from a custom rom. Maybe after I'll upgrade to 4.4.

You can use any firmware. I would choose one that is close to your region, but I'm not sure if that would give you any advantages. The downside with stock firmware is that you will have a CSC(region sales code) and modem/baseband that has been optimised for that region. This may or may not cause issues such as wakelocks or weak network signal.
If you don't want to try the latest android 6.x custom roms(which are based on AOSP code, I would recommend as an alternative a custom rom based on Touchwiz 4.4 such as Amcha Rom. The main advantages of using a rom like this is that you have the option to choose the CSC from your region and with root access, you can try different modems if you are not happy with the one you have(weak signal etc), as well as the other advantages of root permissions such as removal of bloatware and many other. And being based on touchwiz, you still get the functionality of samsung apps and features. There are also other touchwiz based roms in the i9305 development forum if you want to try different flavours......
